Towering skyscrapers loomed above Manhattan like gods of glass, watching over the wealthy and indifferent. Lamborghinis cruised by on quiet electric motors while holographic billboards screamed the faces of influencers, CEOs, and young billionaires. Among them, William Hudson stood out, but not in a good way. His sneakers were worn flat. His shirt, a size too small, clung to him from the heat. His delivery bag, faded from years of use, rested heavily on his back as he rode his electric bike to a luxurious building. The golden letters on the entrance gate of Silverhorn Lounge glared down at him like a warning: "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE." But he had no choice. He was actually here to deliver a highly expensive wine that cost $200,000 to Trent Lloyd, a socialite rich kid known for spending more money on wine than William made in a year. This was one of the part-time jobs William engaged in after lectures at Sky High University. As the poor, helpless fella that he was, it was the

[Your second mission is to purchase two expensive items totaling $90,000 or more.] [Your reward is $550,000 and +5 points for influence, reputation, and power. You will also receive +5 points this time.] [You only have two hours to complete this mission. If you fail, the system will taking back all of your money.] William stared at the time, realizing he only had two hours to complete his mission. He hurriedly left campus and headed to Apricot Street, where luxury stores lined the streets. Apricot Street was not far from his university, Skylux University. William walked quickly and eventually stopped in front of a store belonging to one of the most famous luxury brands. The store was always a destination for the upper class or those who liked to show off. Even famous influencers often flaunted items from that store. William entered the store with forced confidence. There was no shame in getting $550,000! Upon entering, the scent of money filled the air. The price tags displayin

"This is your apartment, as stated in your ownership documents. We have the most elite and complete facilities here. If you need anything, you can always call me. Well then, I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Hudson." The manager said goodbye to William, who was still staring at his new apartment in amazement. It far exceeded his expectations! It was a fully furnished apartment suitable for a family. It had one master bedroom and two additional bedroom. There was a living room, a central room, four bathrooms, a very spacious balcony, a nice kitchen, and even a laundry area and a drying area. An apartment unit like that for a family was clearly not the cheapest. William looked at the ownership documents he had again. It turned out the apartment cost 670,000$! No wonder everything exceeded William’s expectations. William headed to the master bedroom. He placed his belongings there, then went to the bathroom. What he always wanted to do was soak in the warm water of the jacuzzi. It felt s

"He said it was his car?" "That’s ridiculous, he couldn’t even afford to rent that car." The taunts of those people with bullies mentality made William extremely disgusted. He stepped forward, making Selene feel very uneasy under William’s gaze. There was no trace of the usual silly smile on William’s face; instead, he stared at her sharply. As if his gaze could pierce straight through her chest and stab her heart. Full of anger. As if a dark aura was enveloping William’s body. "Ri-rik-William..." Selene stammered. William was already right in front of her, leaning his head closer, and Selene reflexively closed her eyes. She thought William was going to hug her or kiss her in front of Trent. Selene knew William still loved her; he was just pretending— "Move aside." Selene quickly opened her eyes. William pushed Selene’s body out of his way. "William!" "You’re blocking my path. Go away with your rich new boyfriend who can’t even afford a car like this, so you have to take a

"Mr. William Hudson is bidding again with a high price! $750,000! If no one else bids, then the second ring will belong to Mr. Hudson!"William smiled broadly, even though this time the ring wasn’t for Carmen, and William didn’t get triple the price. However, William felt very satisfied with the purchase.He would consider it an investment. Because a diamond ring, especially one with a unique color, would always attract buyers willing to spend a lot of money.William would keep the second ring for now.Alvin, Gidion, and their two girlfriends stared in disbelief as William successfully paid for all the rings."I’m very busy; I don’t have time for the two of you. I have a date with Carmen that I’ll be doing shortly. See you later, losers." William said.Even William was escorted by security to his car to ensure no one bothered the store’s special customer.William gave a generous tip to the two security guards, then glanced back at the two losers. William smirked mockingly, then drove o
