6 Steady Income

After arriving back at home he recieved another mission from the system.

[Mission Received - Exercise for 1 hour per day for 7 days.]

[Sitting in front of a computer all day isn't healthy and getting exercise is good for you, therefore you should get at least 1 hour of exercise per day.]

[Reward - $100, Skill: Running Level 1.]

'Hey, what's up with the reward, you don't specify that I will have to do 1 hour of running yet the reward is still a skill for running, this doesn't make sense, can you please explain?' Ronan was reasonably upset.

[Simple, running is one of the most popular ways to get the exercise that and with the skill you would be able to run slightly faster, and the only exercise you currently get is walking so why not go onto running, besides I doubt you can even lift a coffee mug.]

'Did you call me fat or anorexic? or just straight up weak, because I know I'm not weak, unlike a system that doesn't actually exist.'

[Really? I'm fairly sure that I do exist and for that, I'm going to double your mission.]

[Mission Cancelled - Exercise for 1 hour per day for 7 days.]

[Mission Received - Exercise for 2 hours per day for 14 days.]

[Sitting in front of a computer all day isn't healthy and getting exercise is good for you, therefore you should get at least 2 hours of exercise per day.]

[Reward - $50, Skill: Running Level 1.]

'You know I was joking right? How could the most supreme system in the world be so petty?' Ronan was depressed, running 1 hour was fine, but now running 2 hours is sad, he has to run for 2 hours per day for 14 days to get money and it half than what was promised originally.

[Too late, now do it before I decide to make you suffer for 28 days doing 3 hours of running.]

'Really? I thought the mission is optional.' Ronan was borderline depressed now.

[Oh, yeah, your right, but still do it and then you get rewards, you need the rewards right?]

'Well, it has a point, I suppose I can still do it, after all, I get a skill and then I can get some more money.'

[You know I can hear your thoughts right?]

'Huh, I seem to have forgotten because you didn't speak for like 3 days.'

Ronan and the system had a bit of catching up to do, in the end, Ronan made a schedule for it, 2 hours of running per day at 7 AM just after he wakes up, then he can spend the day doing whatever he wants to do, in the meantime, Ronan went back to the textbooks, he had a deal with Jake all of them done in 5 days then he will get paid.

He started on the textbooks.

Several hours later and he had done 1/4 of them and he went to sleep.

Over the next few days, Ronan had gone running for 2 hours, completed the textbooks and gone back to editing the code of his app to improve it, he improved the user interface, the app was not as taxing as it was earlier on the users phones, and he had rented several servers, now his app had over 50k downloads with approximately 7k online at all times of day, providing him with a steady income, the most users online at a single time was 20k, but that was the day after he contacted Jake about spreading it, he also received several hundreds of helpful reviews on how to market the app and now he was looking for online advertisements to advertise his app.

"Hello, is this Approval Advertisements?" Ronan had just contacted an advertisement agency to see if he could get some online exposure.

"Yes, who is this?" Replied the voice on the other end.

"My name is Ronan, I'm calling to ask about your prices for advertisements, all kinds."

"Sure, its $500 for a total package, you will get all sorts of advertisements on all sorts of different websites, you can specify what types of advertisements you want and on what websites, we also offer advertisements on different apps, we have many companies selling us advertisement space on their apps, for the original price of $500 you can have either, but if you pay $650 you can have both."

Ronan spent some time deliberating over the various companies he had called and contacted, but the one with the best offer and reputation was by far Approval Advertisements, Ronan only gets paid at the end of the month for the advertisements so currently he only had the original $1100 from the missions.

"Okay, where do I sign?" Ronan asked.

When Ronan asked, He went through the procedure to rent the advertising space and also paid them an extra $100 for creation of the advertisements.

After everything was done, he was told that it would take 2 days for the advertisements to be made then they would be put up the day after, and he wouldn't be charged for the first week.

He went back to completing the textbooks, the month ended in 5 days and 2 textbooks needed to be completed for tomorrow, fortunately, they were the easiest ones to complete.

After a couple of hours, Ronan looked at his clock.

20:00

An hour before he was set to sleep, he was even more tired since he had to run 2 hours every day and it was important that he at least didn't feel tired when running his app and completing the textbooks.

After another hour of working on his textbooks, he put them down and went to sleep.

Waking up the next day he went for a run, got a shower and prepared his bag, putting all the textbooks into his bag.
