New Quest.
Then her voice resounded again, "But in trying to make life easier for me, make sure never to get a job so you could focus on your studies properly".
"I wouldn't mum". I uttered.
I said that but tried to get a job behind her back yesterday. If not that I received the prosperity system, I would have kept on trying until I finally landed a job.
I did that even after remembering the amount of times she'd told us never to get a job behind her back...
Well, I didn't do it for my own selfish interest, I did it because I was thinking about her. I wanted to make life easier for her.
But all thanks to the prosperity system, I'd never hunt for a job again.
"It's so nice to see you reasoning this way. I'm proud of you". Julia said to me.
"Thanks, sis". I stated.
"You've done something huge, Lucas. You've completed the payment of our house rent, you'd even be dropping money in which we'd be using to get food in this house,
Apart from that, you'd be fending for yourself in the meantime. Do you know how many loads you've taken from my head with all these?". My mum voiced out.
I didn't say anything, I only nodded my head a little. Then my mum's voice resounded again,
"You've done an excellent job".
"Thanks mum. Hopefully, bigger things will come in the future". I stated.
I handed the money over to my mum which she'd use in getting foodstuffs for this house, and the ones she'd use in handling other bills.
Then she handed the money which would be used in getting foodstuff over to my sister because it's my sister that would be visiting the grocery store to get those foodstuffs.
I was just so happy that I was able to answer the questions my mum and sister threw at me without revealing anything that shouldn't be revealed.
I didn't expose anything concerning the system and so on, and it was just so relieving...

The skill 'Eyes of discernment' was released after I accomplished the first quest that was given to me by the system. I noticed it on that particular day after receiving the system's notification that I had accomplished the quest.
But the thing was that I didn't bother to ask the system about it or try to know more about it. I decided to do that later.
And now, that later had arrived. I was at home and was trying to know more about the skill and what it could help me achieve.
I'd asked the system some questions about it. And in order for me to know more about the skill, the system displayed an interface in front of me.

[Eyes of discernment]
-Function: Would help out in discerning very important things in the world of business. A lot of cheating and lies take place in the world of business and money. You'd tend to start investing in businesses as you're making more money, and this skill would be of really great use to you at that time. You'd be able to discern when a person is lying to you or telling you the truth with this skill. You wouldn't be able to get cheated easily with this skill.
-Cost: 4,000 Prosperity points
----
With everything I read on the interface, I'd gotten to understand a lot about the skill. And from what I saw, the skill was really important.
A skill that could help out in discerning if a person is lying or not in the world of business and money is just superb. Truly, a lot of cheating and lies take place in the world of business and money.
"This skill is an excellent one". I uttered to the system after the interface had vanished.
[Yes host, it is an excellent one. It could help you out greatly]
"According to what I saw from the interface, it would cost a good 4,000 Prosperity points to unlock the skill".
[Yes host, the skill cost 4,000 Prosperity points to unlock]
"And I currently have 2,000 Prosperity points, so I wouldn't be able to unlock the skill. I need another extra 2,000 Prosperity points to be able to unlock it".
[Accomplishing another quest would give you more prosperity points. And with that, you'd be able to unlock the skill]
I nodded my head a little before saying, "I'm aware of that".
There was silence for some seconds after I said that. Then my voice resounded again,
"Are there going to be more skills?".
[Yes host, more skills would be released as you're accomplishing quests. Skills that could help you out greatly]
"Okay". I stated nodding my head a little.
I loved the sound of that, more skills would be getting released as I was accomplishing quests. Skills that could help me out greatly.
Yeah, I needed things that would be able to help me out greatly...
I had talked about and understood what I wanted to understand. All I needed to do now was wait for the time when I'd have enough prosperity points to unlock the 'eyes of discernment' skill.

I was in my classroom currently along with my classmates. Some teachers had already stepped foot into our classroom, taught us, and left.
So right now, we were waiting for the next teacher that would enter our classroom if the teacher was going to enter at all...
We were still waiting when I received the system's notification,
[Ding!]
[New quest]
[Steal Allison from her boyfriend and conquer her]
[Rewards]
[5,000 Prosperity points]
[Instant leveling up to level 3]
[$300,000 will be credited into your bank account]
[Time limit to accomplish quest: 7 days]
[Failure to accomplish quest: You'd miss out on all the rewards]
I'd just gotten my second quest right in the classroom. And holy fuck! Look at the amount of money that would be credited into my bank account if I accomplish the quest, a good $300,000.
..This was a lot of money, my mouth was opened in awe currently.
I earned $35,000 from accomplishing my first quest, and I'd be earning a good $300,000 from accomplishing my second quest? Now, that was a lot of gap right there.
$300,000 was a mouth-watering sum, and I can't afford to miss out on it.
I guess as time was passing and as I was receiving new quests, the amount of money I'd be earning from accomplishing each quest would be increasing.
Now, let's come back to the quest. 'Steal Allison from her boyfriend and conquer her'. Firstly, who the fuck was Allison?
I kept asking myself that question in my mind. I didn't know of any Allison in this classroom, neither did I know of any Allison in this school.
But I didn't know every single person and their names in this school though. So there might be an Allison in this school, the thing was that I wasn't aware of her.
The system should know who this Allison was and where I can find her since she was the one that gave me the quest. So I planned on asking her right now.
I was about to say, 'System, who the fuck was Allison?' when I remembered that I wasn't alone. I was in my classroom in the midst of my classmates.
If I spoke out, they'd glance at me and be wondering who the hell I was talking to because there was no one in front of me, or beside me, and so on.
..Some might even go on to conclude that I was going insane or something.
I didn't want that, so I made sure a single word didn't flow out of my mouth though it almost did. And the moment that happened, I received the system's notification,
[Ding!]
[Host can converse with me from the mind]
Shit! I didn't know I could do this all this while. Well, since the system had informed me that I could do it, I saw no need to waste time.
'Who the fuck was Allison?'. I inquired of the system from the mind.
[Allison is a student of the private school close to this school you're attending]
My eyes widened immediately the moment the system was done saying that, then I voiced out from the mind once again,
'What! Are you serious?'.
[Yes host, I'm serious. Allison is a student of the private school close to this school you're attending. You have to steal her from her boyfriend and conquer her to receive the rewards as listed. And you have 7 days to do so]
I was thinking Allison would be a student of this school, just that I wasn't aware of her. But it happens to be that she was a student of the private school close to this public school that I was attending?
What the fuck was this?...
