5 Extreme Makeover

{You mean that old grey building where all the raves are held? Just go to the bus stop, go behind it and go on the path there for about ten minutes and you should be there}. The female clerk said to Josh. Josh bought a coke zero and thanked the clerk before he followed her instructions through the woods. On the way he was assaulted by mosquitoes and flies, and after a bloody war he arrived at a grey, tall and wide building with shattered windows and broken bottles all over. Josh walked into the building and saw needles, cans, ashes, bottles and tubes all over the floor. Josh asked the System: "Can you take care of the waste? and start what you can of upgrades and fortifications?". The System didn't say anything, but suddenly a bright green light surrounded the building and the trash disappeared. And when the light disappeared, Josh saw that the floor was shining, and he could almost look at his own reflection.

Josh asked the System while still looking around, surprised at how clean it was: "What did you do with the trash?" This time the System answered: [ I am currently sorting useful from useless, and recycling it, the fortifications become cheaper that way.] Josh thought that could be quite useful and walked up the crumbling stair to the second floor. Here, it was holes in the floor and walls, and there were signs of birds living there because of the nest with eggs in it, placed in the corner. Josh asked the System doubtfully: "Did you really remove all the trash?" The System said in its usual cold and nonchalant voice: [yes, the nest is there because canned food won't last forever, mutant meat taste good and you can train them to become guards for food here.] Josh was surprised at this answer, since he never thought so far, just considering that the factory had no security made Josh worried and happy at the same time because this meant he could improve, and that the System actually thought so far ahead made Josh wonder what more the System knew and could do. He asked: " Can you fix the holes and stairs while we are here, System?" The System answered: I would need concrete and steel in the building to fix and fortify it, I can't do anything without that, so i guess we should move ahead on the schedule when it is about earning money since you have used almost all you own on a few things. Go to the closest area where you can bet on horses, IL help you win more by gambling more dangerously.]

Josh asked, surprised: "How can you be so sure on winning?" The System:… [Gambling and a few predictions.] Josh: .... I hope you bet better than you talk, let's go. Josh left the factory and locked the doors with the key he got when he bought the place and started to walk towards the bloody war zone once again. When Josh got out of the forest, it looked like he had lost half a litre of blood, as pale as he was. He went to the bus stop, pulled up his phone and searched for the closest horse racing area, which was apparently just 13 minutes away from him with bus. Josh decided to wait, and while he was waiting, he went on Spotify and listened to Beast in Black "Blind and Frozen". When the bus finally came, Josh got on, paid for the ticket and found an empty seat at the end of the bus. After a while he saw a big plain with fences around where a lot of people gathered and cheered.
