Chapter 2: 2. First mission

Riki woke up. He felt numbness in his body, but he forced himself to get up.

He was still in the same place.

Damn it, why didn’t he just die?

No, he didn’t have to die. He had to get revenge on Anton and Hannah.

[You’re awake, master!]

Riki stopped walking immediately, and suddenly a transparent hologram screen appeared in front of him.

"What is this?" he muttered, trying to touch the screen.

[Welcome to The Most Powerful Wealth System!]

The screen changed as soon as Riki touched it, startling him into taking two steps back.

What on earth was this? Why had it suddenly appeared in front of him?

Riki began walking faster, hoping the strange screen would disappear on its own.

But it didn’t.

The screen continued to follow him, even after Riki closed the door to the small apartment he rented.

Riki stared as the screen appeared in front of his face.

[The system will help you become the richest and greatest person]

[You can reach the pinnacle of success and take revenge on anyone who has wronged you, are you ready?]

Riki nodded unconsciously.

His eyes blinked several times, but the screen remained there.

The robotic voice continued to buzz in his ears.

"Wait a minute, why doesn’t my body hurt?" Riki muttered. He realized he could move his body freely. With such powerful blows and impacts, Riki should have been in the hospital with broken bones.

[The system has repaired your severely damaged body]

[Are you ready to receive The Most Powerful Wealth System?]

"What is that?" Riki asked, still confused by what was happening.

Even though maybe he was only imagining it, he needed some distraction after his heart was shattered by the actions of the person he trusted most, Hannah.

After all, Riki had always tried his best to fulfill everything Hannah had asked of him, but it turned out none of that counted as effort.

How tragic his love life was.

[The system will assist you, master]

[You can regain wealth greater than you’ve ever had before]

[You can also take revenge on anyone who wronged you and your family, including punishing the person who accused your father in the past]

"Can I really do it?" Riki murmured softly. He was truly helpless. He didn’t know what to do now, except accept the existence of the system.

[Of course! Let’s fix your pitiful life!]

[Here is your status]

[Name: Riki Khaizer]

[Age: 21 years old]

[Level: Bronze]

[Nickname: Poor Loser]

[Points: 0]

[Intelligence: 5/100]

[Charm: 5/100]

[Influence: 0/100]

[Reputation: 0/100]

[Strength: 1/100]

What the hell is that pitiful status?

Seeing all that, Riki felt sorry for himself.

"Can you explain it? I’m still a bit confused," Riki muttered again.

[Your level will be determined based on the difficulty of the missions you receive or your current wealth level]

[Levels are divided into bronze, silver, gold, diamond, and black]

[You will earn points by completing missions, which can be exchanged for anything in the system store]

[The system store is not yet open]

[Your nickname is what others see in you, and it may change over time]

[Every day, you will receive various missions from the system. There will be rewards you can obtain, such as money or stat boosts]

[Is there anything else you don’t understand?]

Riki shook his head slowly, "No, but... what mission should I do?"

[You can search for missions in the mission column]

[Here are your current missions]

[Your first mission is to give sincere praise to one of the girls you first meet on campus, making sure that person is much richer than you]

[Your reward is $100,000 and +1 to your reputation]

"What kind of mission is that? Why do I have to do that? The girls on campus treat me like a cockroach!" Riki ruffled his hair in frustration.

[That’s the easiest mission, since your level is still low]

Riki couldn’t say anything else; he sighed heavily, stood up, and began to clean himself up.

Giving someone a sincere compliment isn’t that difficult, especially if the reward is 100,000$.

When was the last time Riki saw that much money? He couldn’t even remember.

***

The next day, Riki returned to campus. Although there were no classes today because the professor was absent. Because he was going to carry out his first mission.

He even canceled all his part-time jobs, because he no longer needed them.

He had to get that $100,000 no matter what.

The first woman Riki encountered since stepping foot on campus, he had to sincerely compliment her at that moment.

But so far, he’d only encountered men. Maybe because it was still too early, just seven in the morning.

There were only diligent and nerdy people there, including Riki.

Oh, there’s one girl!

Looking at her from behind, she was wearing an elegant pink tweed dress from Chanel with shoes from the same brand. Clearly, she was much richer than Riki.

[Quick, compliment her, master!]

Ugh, it wasn’t that easy. Riki didn’t even know who she was.

"Excuse me, miss..." Riki said nervously.

The woman slowly turned around, causing her beautiful long black hair to sway gently. The scent of strawberry shampoo was strong.

Riki became extremely nervous after realizing who he was facing.

Riki was studying at one of the most prestigious universities in his country, known for being attended only by the children of the wealthy. Riki knew there were many wealthy students compared to poor ones like himself.

However, Riki was still surprised to find out who the girl he was facing was.

Angeline Harland.

The girl rumored to be the most beautiful girl in the university. The type of first love every man finds hard to reach or approach.

Not only beautiful, this girl was also the top student at their university. She was the granddaughter of Verdinand Harland, the founder of the Harland Group. A conglomerate ranked third among the wealthiest in the country.

"What’s wrong?" Angeline asked, giving a small smile. She was incredibly beautiful and sweet.

Riki was mesmerized for a moment by that beautiful smile.

"No, it’s just that you’re beautiful... excuse me!"

Riki hurriedly walked away and hid behind a large mango tree in the campus garden.

"Ah, damn it! I’m so nervous!"

[You have successfully completed your first mission! A reward of 100,000$ will be sent to your account, and 1 reputation point added]

[One point added for you]

"What... I’ve already succeeded, that quickly?" Riki asked, confused.

[Your mission was to sincerely compliment a richer girl, and you’ve done it]

Riki’s legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the grass.

Soon after, a notification from the bank arrived, stating that Riki had received his 100,000$.

Riki smiled widely, "This is real!"

[Of course, master]

[Time for the second mission, are you ready?]
