Chapter 7-Next Task

last update2023-06-06 13:04:24

Alex is dumbfounded after finishing reading his first task on the panel screen.

He should go to the Sans' house and give them $100? Isn't that too good?

Alex disliked the first task, but he had already joined. Then, as per the rules, he had to complete whatever the task, even if he doesn't like it.

Maybe this is one of the challenges for him, seeing how he hates the Sans family.

Letting out a long sigh, Alex stretches his stiff body and gets up from the sofa. His dark irises surveyed his luxurious home for a moment. It is much more luxurious than his old home.

Alex's eyes shifted to the expensive antique chandelier hanging from the ceiling, then grinned slightly. He is no longer a useless unemployed man with only $5 in his wallet.

He now had half the money in his account, minus the money he is going to give to Sans' family. But after this task was completed, he would definitely get a much more valuable reward.

Alex locks his door and walks to his car. He starts the engine and drives the four-wheeled vehicle at high speed. The roads are quite free this afternoon. The sky is clear like his mood right now.

Alex stops his car in the courtyard of the Sans' house with a bit of style. The tires squealed sharply, inviting the residents of the house to come out of their nests.

At first they looked puzzled at the sight of the classic Volvo car parked there, but then their expressions turned to shock when they see Alex's presence.

Jasmine recoils and covers her mouth in disbelief as Alex closes his car door with a haughty smile. He looked at his ex-wife, Ms. Anne, Mr. Victor, John, and his gaping wife.

Alex stepped into the house and pretended to pay his respects. "Good afternoon," Alex greeted wittily. Perhaps because he is in a good mood, he tries to be friendly even though the Sans family looks disgusted by his greeting.

Alex wants to laugh, but he restrains himself. They must have been shocked again at how he got a luxury car in such a short time.

Ms. Anne exhaled her heavy, exaggerated breath again. She folded her arms across her chest and gave Alex a bemused look. "I guess you don't have a speck of shame anymore!" She said in a sharp voice. Her eyes glanced briefly at Alex's Volvo, then her expression hardened. "We've kicked you out of here, you have no more right to come around as you please. What else do you want? Don't tell me you want to lure our daughter with your stolen car!"

Alex smiled a little. Clearly, he could see the envy in his mother-in-law's eyes as she gazed at his one-of-a-kind classic car.

"You know what? You're trying too hard to look rich. We won't believe your sleazy tricks!" Mr. Victor said harshly.

But instead of replying to his ex-father-in-law's insults, Alex prefers to pull money out of his wallet with a haughty face. He has no time to explain to them about the amazing game system that saved his life. The Sans had very little brain capacity, so they wouldn't understand.

Alex pulls out $500, then deliberately recounts it all in front of the wide-eyed Sans family. After finishing, Alex then looked at Ms. Anne, Mr. Victor, John, John's wife, and finally Jasmine. Wordlessly, Alex approaches and gives each member of the Sans family $100, just as the task force had instructed.

They all seem dumbfounded by Alex's gift.

Alex chuckles and puts his wallet back in his pocket. The Sans were speechless, between wanting to throw Alex's gift away, but also feeling reluctant because it is money.

"Why did you give us this money?" Ms. Anne spoke haltingly.

Alex chooses not to answer the question and steps out with a haughty face from the Sans' house. There is a shout from John trying to insult Alex, but Alex doesn't respond at all.

He gets into his car, then deliberately makes the tires squeal loudly again. He laughed as Mr. Victor yelled at him for ruining his lawn, but Alex doesn't care.

He had successfully completed his first task. Upon arriving at his house, Alex is immediately greeted by the voice of his supervisor.

"Congratulations on the success of your first task, Master Alex."

A system panel then appears in front of Alex, informing him of his first task, followed by a sentence that appears right in the center of the panel.

'TASK 1 COMPLETED! CLICK THE NEXT BUTTON FOR THE NEXT TASK!'

Another new task? Could it be related to Sans' family again? Alex had thought that the system game task was a new mission. Well, once a day, but apparently he was wrong. But whatever it is, Alex certainly can't protest.

After completing the first task by insulting the Sans family by giving them money, Alex found himself feeling good remembering their dumbfounded faces. They had always insulted him, but now the coin was hard to flip and it was his turn to retaliate.

Alex then moves his hand, without hesitating to click the 'next' button on the panel which immediately flashes.

He rushed down the hospital hallway to the room he was told about.Lucia was in labor.He repeated the words in his head and his heart began to pound loudly.Having just turned the corner, Alex could already hear the sound of a baby crying from the open door of the room. He ran inside and saw the doctor begin to transfer the baby into Lucia's arms.Lucia turned around with her cheeks already wet with tears. "Alex, our child... our child was born safely."Alex couldn't help but cry when he heard that, especially when his eyes fell on the baby's tiny body.Lucia was right about her guess. Their first child was a girl. Alex thought she was just guessing, but she really meant what she

    A cold breeze blew in carrying the falling snowflakes, lightly brushing the side of Alex's face.A pinch of hair that Alex had neatly combed back, again fell across his forehead. Alex sighed and smoothed it back down. Lucia was right, Alex should have worn a spray to keep his hairstyle from changing.This afternoon, Alex received an official invitation from the system world. He was to be crowned the system's human master and the ceremony was to take place at seven o'clock.Alex told Lucia that he had to attend an important event. Lucia didn't ask many questions and asked Alex to be careful.Alex was honestly at a loss to tell Lucia about the world of systems. How he got there and participated in 100 levels of the game, how he earned a lot of money for his hard work, how he fought monsters...He felt conflicted about telling her.Alex could probably brush everything off as if nothing had happened, but he felt he had to tell Lucia. After the invitation, he knew that the knot tying him t

    This morning, Alex and Lucia were finally able to go to the doctor without a hitch.Lucia had been vomiting since she woke up, so a worried Alex didn't want to delay the examination any longer.Alex felt that his suspicions about Lucia being pregnant were correct. Lucia herself felt the same way, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. They had been hopeful since the beginning of their marriage, so Lucia didn't want to end up disappointed.They both stepped into the examination room, but suddenly, Lucia stopped walking and squeezed the cuff of her husband's shirt."Lucia, what's wrong?""I'm scared." Lucia bit her lip as she glanced into the examination room. "What if the results are disappointing?"Alex sighed and rubbed his wife's shoulders. "Honey, everything will be fine. Whatever the answer is, I'll accept it. The most important thing now is your health. We need to know what happened to you. Even if you're not pregnant, I won't be angry," Alex whispered, trying to calm Lucia

He circled around the monster's body and moved into the tunnel. Alex cheered inwardly, then sped up his car at high speed.In the rearview mirror, he saw the monster moving back into the tunnel, blocking the newly arrived participants with their oil-splattered cars.Alex didn't know how to describe his happiness when the finish line came into view. The spectators cheered excitedly at Alex's arrival from behind the tunnel, given that none of the participants had appeared so far."YES, THIS IS IT! FINALLY SOMEONE EMERGES FROM THE TUNNEL AFTER PASSING THE CHALLENGE AT THE RED DOT!""ALEX! GO! GO!"Alex rolled down the window and waved to his

    Was the race attended by all the system world's inhabitants?Alex arrived at a large field filled with system humans. In the eastern part of the field, there were cars lined up with the race participants. Then at the edge of the field, there was a giant poster that read: "SYSTEM WORLD ANNUAL COMPETITION!"The three winners of the previous race were posted at the bottom of the poster. The race was said to be held every 10 years and could only be participated in by players who were in the 50s and above.That's why Alex was asked to join by his supervisor.Alex stepped closer and a system panel floating in the air instantly displayed his face."Participant number 20: Alexander Gates has arrived!" The voice echoed around the field.Alex could only raise his hand in greeting as his fans went crazy. They were all restrained behind iron fences. Even so, they excitedly continued to chant his name."ALEX! ALEX! YOU'RE THE BEST!"Alex didn't expect his fans to increase fivefold after defeating

    They peeked again and now saw Alex's interaction with the lawyer.The two seemed very close, and the man even tapped Alex on the shoulder once in a while."So... Alex hasn't been lying all this time? How could this be... I thought it was all just because of Angelo's power, but apparently..." Bastian ran out of words to explain. He dropped his backpack and rubbed his face repeatedly, almost feeling crazy.Lecia and Tonny were speechless as all the strange things that had been happening were finally solved. As if their eyes were all opened, the lawyer's arrival completely stunned them."Yes Sir, the process of accounting for all your assets will be completed in a few days. We will donate a portion of your wealth to the schools and courses where your late daughter studied."The lawyer's voice sounded closer. Tonny peeked back and apparently, he had already started walking out with Alex.They hurriedly stepped back and took a spot some distance away from the door."I'll call you when ever
