75 Chapter 70: Task and Points?
Ryan is seen waking up in his bed in his Tommy Hilfiger ultra soft logo blue colored pajama set consisting of a dark blue soft T-shirt and cotton blended dark blue shorts.
Ryan stretched his arms and removed his silver-colored Paris blanket, which had luminous lighting in the dark.
He then looked at the silver alarm clock at his bedside brown table and saw it was only 6 am.
Ryan couldn't help but sigh and say, "I guess not getting tired out even after a tough game wasn't enough. This body doesn't even need much rest."
Ryan said as if he was a universe-traveling demon who switched bodies on the regular to seek adventures throughout the universe facing off big legendary heroes and villains alike.
Ryan then got out of bed and headed out to brush his teeth and get ready for school. After all, although it was a plot episode, this didn't mean he had a holiday from school.
Ryan got dressed in his dark-colored Hugo boss uniform with dark tan Ecco shoes, an omega watch with black straps, and Calvin Klein underwear after spraying eau de toilette l.
He walks downstairs, with an average stride length of 1.5 meters, to have breakfast at the dining table.
For breakfast, Ryan had four toast with avocado and a hint of lemon, partnered with a shake of different fruits.
He wipes his lips with a silver-colored cloth, leaving it dirty with a few stains.
He then uses the muscles on his body to slowly stand up from his seat after eating four of his toasted toast partnered with a fruit shake.
Before Ryan could leave, Nathan interrupted his action by asking, "So, any new scripts? It's been a while."
Ryan, caught off guard, replied, "Not really been taking it a bit slow recently. You know, sometimes inspiration flows, and sometimes there is nothing."
Nathan replied, "I see you take your time, kido. There is no rush. I just got used to you making them so fast that when it stopped, I had to ask, haha."
Ryan replied back, "Yeah, no problem, dad."
Ryan then carried on with the rest of his day, and headed to school by their car.
However, he finally let go of his curiosity in the car and checked to see if the picnic event had gotten him points, although non-plot. He also met new characters like Jake, so his points should have increased.
After all, checking points had completely slipped his mind recently as he was taking a laid-back approach to the whole earning points and grinding scripts approach.
Ryan opened the system interface and found a notification he had missed as the system was kept on mute.
This was strange. After all, the system didn't send a notification for the points. As a matter of fact, the only notification Ryan had ever got was regarding a compensation package for no weekly episode.
Ryan quickly opened the notification and read through it. It left him very confused, speechless and excited simultaneously.
Notification:
Due to certain events during a non-plot arc, the main character (Phil) had a dream regarding the movie Inception.
If the host can get the main character to tell him about the dream and the following events, he shall receive Inception the movie as a reward.
Reward Preview:
Name: Inception
Budget: 160 million
Box office achieved: 836.8 million USD
Minimum Guarantee: 600 million USD box office, participation of a legendary figure Leonardo DiCaprio.
Logline: A thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O.
Points Earned: Non-point incentive task.
After reading the reward preview, Ryan couldn't help but ask, "What is this minimum guarantee scheme? Why have I never seen it? Also, did I trigger this event, or was it automatic?"
The system replied, "As these questions are regarding the special task, questions are free. Here is the answer."
[Solution 1: Minimum guarantee scheme only applies to special tasks or missions.]
[Solution 2: You may not have directly trigged the task, but your existence flapped its butterfly wings.]
Ryan read this and asked, "Can you give a more detailed answer for question number two."
"Also, tell me, would this dream get triggered due to the system either way once it met the right circumstances? or is this a spur-of-the-moment kind of situation?"
[Solution 1: Further explanation cannot be provided as it involves the mission goal and details about the encounter.]
[Solution 2: This is not a system task or mission and is based on something that just happened, and as it was related to the host, the system issued a task.]
Ryan thought about it and decided to leave the matter aside for the time being. After all, he couldn't do anything about it now and decided to look at points instead.
Ryan opened the point section and saw that his total points were 180,650. This left Ryan stunned, as this meant he made tons from the non-plot event.
Upon a quick look at the point's history, Ryan found
Catching Claire - 4,000 points
Hearing Sheldon - 3,000 points
Finding kidnappers - 1,000 points
Taking care of injured Alex - 6,000 points
Meeting Jake - 8,000 points
Claire's Mental breakdown - 9,000 points
Advancing relationship with Alex - 12,000 points
Claire's acceptance of your relationship - 20,000 points
Phil involvement - 4,000 points
Gloria's involvement - 4,000 points
Haley involvement - 10,000 points
Ryan saw that the total of the event amounted to 81,000 points and felt blessed after all from what he had observed. He earned around 20k to 40k by taking part in an episode on average.
So suddenly getting more points than he would have from two episodes made him very happy, and if you add Inception being in the bag, Ryan felt Christmas had come early.
He thanked god and Santa Claus for this pie that fell from the sky.
Ryan then happily attended school and was in a good mood throughout the day, and looked forward to the plot episode.
Meanwhile, Phil had just reached the entrance of the Mitchell household. He was here to borrow something for Luke's birthday.
Phil rang the bell, and Mitchell came and opened the main door and let Phil in, "Please come in. I have it ready."
Phil then walked inside and said hi to Cameron in the kitchen and followed Mitchell to get something.
