<h4>Chapter 12: Shopping, Spending & Rebate(II)</h4>


    Ss'' room.


    Ss sat on his bed and called up his status screen.

    [Host has met the system''s level up requirement.]


    [Level Up.]


    Ss was stunned when he read thest rebate reward notification.


    After thest system''s level up and the message that said that the rebate rewards will be given in different forms, Ss was looking forward to it. Though he had no idea how the system nned to do it, he expected it to be something good, but what he saw now beats all his expectations.


    ".... Two buildings and two luxury sports cars.... Wow."


    "This is amazing... This means the more expensive things are, the better the rebate reward will be."


    Ss also noticed something; there was no notification saying that he unlocked any new system''s function.


    "The functions the system has are not bad and I''m even yet to explore them more," Ss said to himself as he thought of the system''s functions he unlocked previously.


    "I will check themter, I should check my status screen and see what''s the new system''s level up requirement."


    "Status."


    [Name: Ss Kurt]


    [Age:20]


    [System Level: 3]


    [Level Perk: 10x rebate on all expenses made by the host.]


    [Level Up Requirement(s): Raise all stats to that of an average human.]


    [Note: Average human stats; 10 all stats.]


    _____


    [Strength: 5]


    [Agility: 3]


    [Stamina: 5]


    [Intelligence: 5]


    [Charisma: 4]


    [Stats Point(s): 0(+)]


    _____


    [Skill(s): [Problem-Solving(Level 1)], [Memory Mastery(Level 1)], [Mental Bnce(Level 1)]


    Skill Point(s): 0(+)]


    _____


    [System Point(s): 0(+)]


    "New level up requirement.. raise all stats to that of an average human which is 10 all stats... Isn''t this too easy?," Ss asked himself when he saw the new system''s level up requirement.


    Not that the other level up requirements were hard but this sounds too easy. With the system''s exchange function, I can exchange money for system points and system points for stats points.


    "Let me do the calction and see how much I would need to exchange," Ss said to himself with a smile and started doing his calctions.


    "Strength needs 5 more points, Agility, 7, Stamina and Intelligence, 5, and Charisma, 6. Everything totals to 28 stats points.


    What I need is 28 stats points and going by the system''s exchange rate, to get 1 stats point, I need 1000 system points.


    Then, 1000 x 28 is 28,000. So, I need 28,000 system points... How much would that cost, though?


    $10,000 to get 1 system point and to get 28,000 system points, I need...," Ss said and paused, as he brought out his phone and opened its calctor app to do the sum.


    You were expecting him to get the answer from his head? Tsk, your expectations are a bit too high.


    Ss punched in the number and the calctor gave him the answer, $280,000,000.


    "$280 million?! Sigh.. and I thought that l would be able to level up immediately. What a bust," Ss said to himself, shaking his head.


    "I guess it will take some time before I level up again. $280 million is currently out of reach. I only have $23 million in my ount, a very huge gap from the actual amount needed."


    "Can I do it by working out? But I''m not really sure if it will work and even if it does, how long will it take me to meet the requirement?"


    Ss decided to put his thoughts aside. He wants to increase the system''s level so that he can see if there''s any new function he can unlock, or if the system will be sentient.


    One might be curious as to why Ss wants the system to be sentient. The reason is because he has a lot of questions he needs answers to, and all his answers lie with the system.


    Ss was not naive enough to think that he just made a wish and boom, a higher dimensional being or god, or whatever it''s called, gave him a system.


    There''s a saying that everything happens for a reason. Getting something of such immense value is not free or someone doing charity.


    "Getting a system in the modern world. How nice, dreamy and fantastical it sounds, but it''s my reality."


    Ss smiled and closed his status screen as he stood up from the bed, and went to the bathroom to take his bath.


    Thinking of the buildings and cars he got as rewards from the system, Ss wanted nothing more than to rush down to Newport Beach and start checking them out, but he decided to put it off because it was already gettingte.


    Newport Beach is a city close to Oand city. Though it''s close, it will take him hours of driving to get there. 7 hours to be exact, and 6 hours 46 minutes to be precise.


    After taking his bath, Ss changed into light clothes for the night and just as he was about to go to the living room, his phone started ringing.


    He brought his phone and checked the caller''s ID but he didn''t see any name on it, indicating that it''s an unsaved number.


    "Who could possibly be calling me?," He asked himself, taking a guess on who the caller could possibly be.


    Few secondster, he picked the call.


    "Hello. Please, who''s this?"


    " Ss. M it''s me, Chloe," A familiar female voice responded.


    Ss was surprised when he heard the voice and name. Though it has been a while since they graduated from high school, he clearly remembers who Chloe is.


    "Ss, are you there?," Chloe asked when she saw that Ss wasn''t responding.


    "Y-Yeah.. Sorry about that, I was just surprised getting your call," Ss replied.


    "I figured. Well, I''m calling you because our ss decided to hold a get-together and I was told to invite you."


    "A get-together?... When and where is the location?"


    "The time is two days from now and the location is Midnight Pub. Also, Daniel and La will be there, you can decide not toe but if you insist oning, make sure to put on some good clothes and do something about your confidence," Chloe said and hung up.


    Ss couldn''t help but smile wryly when he saw this.


    ''Chloe, she will never change but I have changed. I''m no longer the same person as before. Daniel and La huh? I guess a little drama won''t hurt...,'' Ss said to himself with a smirk.
