2nd Main Quest

'Yue, what should I do? My "friend" doesn't really have a bank account. And I just can't use my own account. They would figure out that all the money goes to me. I'll have again a lot of explaining to do which is bothersome. I don't want to lie continuously to my family.' Ben asked Yue for suggestions.

"Master, I can make an account for you in the InterGalaxia Bank, it's the most secure bank that I'm aware of and no one will be able to trace it back to you. Problem Solved!" Yue answered.

'Ah Yue, you're the answer to my problems! Are there any requirements that I need to pass in order to open an account on InterGalaxia?' he asked.

"None Master, you just lay down your bed and go to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll give you your new account number. Good night Master!" Yue said.

'Alright, guess I'll turn in for now. Thanks you Yue and good night too.' Then Ben closed his eyes and drifted off to dreamland.

Ben woke up and the first thing he saw was his UI that popped up.

'This is one good morning.' Benedict thought with a smile. 'So, this means Yue has opened up an account for me successfully.' Ben smiled, 'Thanks Yue, I anticipated to be getting hidden quests too but I never expected it this early.'

/Always at your service Master, I apologize that I can't inform you about Hidden Quests, you need to complete it on your own without your knowledge. Although it's like that, the rewards given by the system were never stingy./ Yue explained.

'That's alright, it makes it more exciting to perform different tasks and I won't be getting lazy, in the near future hehe. So, how do I use the Dimensional Storage Yue?' Ben asks.

/Just think or say Inventory and it will appear. It's also included in your UI. You can access it anytime. The card provided by the bank is already stored in your inventory Master, you can withdraw cash from any ATM, you can also use it when paying for local purchases anywhere around the world and you can also transfer and receive money through your mobile phone.

Master, I also suggest that you buy a mobile phone from the [Shop]. The phone bought from the [Shop] contains an Application for InterGalaxia Mobile Banking, you can check your balance and transactions through it./ Yue suggested to its Master.

'Inventory' said Ben and then an interface appeared containing 10 boxes. One of these boxes contained the Card that came from InterGalaxia Bank and 9 empty boxes. 'This inventory is very much like the MMORPG games that I am playing in both of my lives.'

/Master, it was designed like that for ease of use, you can put any non-living things in your inventory, as long as you have empty boxes. Each box can store up to 999 pieces of the same item./ Yue then again explained.

Ben was so happy to have his own Inventory that he forgot to do his morning regime and just experimented on using his Inventory before the crack of dawn. He discovered that he doesn't have to hold the item to put it in his inventory, he just have to think of the name of the item and poof! It will automatically be placed inside one of the boxes.

When taking items, he just has to think of where he wants the item to appear within 10 meters around him and the item will appear there. He tried it on his bed, chair, table, bag, consoles and other things and then brought it back out just like the items never left its place. Even the bag still has the phone components and some of his clothes, nothing missing. 'Cool!' Ben thought excitedly.

Then the system sounded;

Beep!

2nd Main Quest: Dream Big? Start Big!

Requirement: Being a farmer is never easy, having a wide plot of land is needed to be successful. Buy a 40 hectare plot of land.

Time Limit: 60 days

Reward: Farm Protection and Weather Formation, 500 Exp, 30 distributive Status Points

Note: Additional reward for bigger plot of land and/or earlier purchase of land. Failure of the quest will have a punishment, deduction of 50 points per attribute.

Ben's eyes bulged seeing the punishment for quest failure and asked, 'Yue, what happens when I get a negative in each attribute?'

/Master, in short it means, you'll die. In a long explanation, having negative attributes will give your body the lowest immune system and you will be exposed to every kind of disease, suffering from it and then you die./ Yue explained nonchalantly.

'Wow, you explain it like you're just describing the weather.' Ben commented.

/Master, with me here, it is a 100% guarantee that you will complete the quest. If you want you can buy a spaceship from the [Shop] ranging from $100,000 up and you can exchange it for a hundred hectare land. I'm sure every country will be looking for you offering up bigger lands just to get a hand on the spaceship./ Yue suggested.

'Yeah right, or by tomorrow I'll have a shoot to kill order just for them to acquire the spaceship or assassins or other ways, worst of all is that I'm putting the lives of my family to danger.' Ben thought, shuddering at Yue's suggestions.

/Master, don't be a pessimist, it's just one of the things that can help you, of course the [Shop] can offer a lot of other things with less dangerous consequences./ said Yue.

'I know Yue, well, we still have 60 days including today so we don't have to hurry yet. I'm confident that the phone will be a success and will earn me the funds I need. Slowly but surely and low-key is the best.' Ben said.

When he got tired of examining his inventory and getting his determination for his new quest, he took a shower and went out of his room. He saw his mother still preparing breakfast and his Dad drinking his morning coffee.

"Good morning Mom! Good morning Dad!" Ben greeted. His mom and dad saw him and they were stunned, regaining their wits they greeted Ben back "Good morning son. You look handsome today!" said his mom. Ben being reminded of his Charm Status reaching 40 points, he said "Of course Mom, with Dad helping me to earn money, the stress went away and made me more handsome!" Ben joked.

His parents just smiled and didn't say anything else. "Mom, I'll help you make breakfast." Ben offered.

"Just sit back and relax, I'm almost done with this, then we'll eat, your siblings won't be up till later, the maid will just reheat the food for them." His Mom answered.

"Dad, I already got my friend's account number, I will forward it to you after breakfast." Ben said.

"Why wait until after breakfast, forward it to me now, so I can transfer him the money." Mr. Torres said.

Without anything to do, Ben forwarded his account number from InterGalaxia Bank to his father. Then his father immediately paid the $300,000 to it.

"Son, I've transferred the money to your friend, did you ask him how many phones he still got in his possession?" his dad inquired.

"Oh right! My friend said that it's the only one he has right now, but he can make more if you need it immediately. You can order how many you need together with 50% of the total amount as initial payment. And then after he sent the required amount of order you can transfer the remaining balance in his account. But because he is alone, he can't make a lot of it." Ben explained.
