He had a total of 291,600 pesos in his bank account, he even made 740 pesos just for wasting time talking to that guy. Now that it's done, he should go to the market and bought some Mountain Dew and also buy some new clothes too.

Going out in his room he did not meet the girl again and went to the shop by riding a public ride. Arriving at the mall he went to the grocery and there are lots of products like foods, shampoos, biscuits, and lots of things.

Strolling around he found the Mountain Dew wrapped in a box, every box there are over 2 sets in every wrapped box 1 sets equals to 12 bottles.

He took one of the boxes which is a little heavy with only his one arm carrying, he did not see the abnormality because with the 1 point increased in his stats increased his strength by 1 whole. Arriving at the counter he asked the cashier.

"Miss how much is 1 box of Mountain Dew?" Hearing the inquiries of a young man the teenage girl wearing a mask that only her eyes can be seen, shifting her gaze towards Alexander.

She stood still stunned from how handsome this guy in poor clothing is. She quickly adjusted his self and could not help but be embarrassed.

"Yes sir, one box of Mountain Dew cost around 400 pesos" The girl answered professionally her eyes were like gone from the smile, thinking that this girl must have a blood of a Chinese.

"I'll take 7 boxes and also do you offer delivery for this?" Alexander asked.

"Yes we offer delivery but it will cost you 200 pesos but if its far the price will increased" The girl in a masked said.

"I see, then I would like to order 7 boxes to be delivered in this address. I can pay right now" Alexander said while giving a note towards cashier. She took the note and remembered that this place is not really far.

"Sure sir, that will be around 2,800 pesos for the seven boxes of Mountain Dew and 200 pesos for the delivery a total of 3,000 pesos." She said after calculating the total amount.

Alexander then took out his card and the girl then swiped the money from the scanner paying the bill.

[Current Balance: 288,600 Pesos]

He then leaved the girl and left his number to the cashier to call him if the delivery has arrived. He then left the first floor and went into escalator to go all the way through the 3rd floor, he bough 3 t-shirt from Adidas and 3 shorts as well that cost around 599 each.

With a total of 3,594 pesos was minus on his account.

[Current Balance: 285,006 Pesos]

When he was about to go to the escalator exit the mall someone tapped him in his shoulder, when he looked back its a friend that he had not seen after his graduation.

A man in wearing a black t shirt with a skull face design attached to it, his wearing a short while wearing a shoe. He had black hair that was trimmed like a buzzcut his face was friendly as he looked at Alexander even though he looked like a thug, but he is not.

"Alexander It's been a long time, your actually here in the City? What school are you going to enroll" The guy asked.

"Oh, Cedrick it's actually you what a coincidence. I'm actually here to buy some clothes and was about to go home" Alexander replied with a smile.

His best-friend Cedrick is one of his few friends that treats him like a real family, when he was bullied in high school due to his low background and handsome appearance. Cedrick is always there to rescue him, even when he was sent to the principal office for beating a guy until it turns black and blue.

"Do you want to have drink there and catch up my treat" Alexander said, as he pointed at a small shop for beverages, it's a Milktea if you know what it is.

Seeing the place he pointed at, Cedrick does not know whether to agree or not, he know his friend financial situation than everyone else. He even saved money just to pay for school fees, even though he had no more food to eat.

He even tried selling his favorite food outside just to earn some extra cash, the food his friend made using the Binangkal Recipe, made it more delicious.

Reading his though Alexander just smiled and said, "Don't worry I have money"

Hearing Alexander words, he was feeling a little skeptical if his friend really had the ability to pay. Or even he could pay is their money going to be left for him to spend?

"Are you sure? I have money so you don't need to pay my drink" Cedrick said.

"Yes don't worry I'll pay, I have money so you don't need to worry" Alexander said comfortingly.

The both of them went into the store and sat inside a Milktea Store, Alexander then ordered 2 Milktea in large size, he ordered a Chocolate one with addons black pearls, while for his friend Cedrick he ordered a Buko Pandan Flavor with addons black pears.

The total amount is 220, while each cost 110 pesos. He paid it with his card and his balance lost 220 pesos, with this small amount of money to be paid he did not even bat an eye at it. Bringing the drinks he placed it towards the table giving it to Cedrick while he sipped his Milktea and sat down at the seat.

"Thank you for the drink" Cedrick said while he took the plastic bottle cup and sipped at the straw.

"Don't mention it" Alexander spoked while shaking his hand.

"So how long have you been in here?" Alex asked with a sipped on his drink.

"Not long I only been here for around 1 week, I've finally found a Boarding House but it's only a bed space it's not so expensive the monthly payment is 1,500 so It's good" Cedrick spoked.

Alexander nodded his head, the same as him Cedrick is also from a poor family, he had 1 little brother and 1 elder sister that is already in college, their family income is only average to support his elder sister to finish his studies.

"What about you Alex? How are you" Cedrick inquired, the two of them had not meet after graduation.

The two of them began to catch up with somethings. Until finally Cedrick remembered something.

"Oh yeah, it's Zya birthday next Monday they are going to celebrate it in the hotel, I think they have rented the whole floor do you want to come?" Cedrick asked, as he looked at Alexander face.

Hearing this Alexander was contemplating, he remembered how much he liked Zya not only she is beautiful but also smart and rich. While the both of them had a great relationship, he did not want to ruin their friendship if he's going to confessed.

Cedrick knew this looking at Alexander with his head lowered, hell even Zya knew of his feelings but waiting for him to confess. But he did not say anything or tried to force Alexander to go to the party, but with their friendship he should really come.

"Sure, I'll go" Alexander said with a nod.

"Alright then we'll see each other next Monday you've better get a gift wrapped up, or if you need money, I can let you borrow mine" Cedrick said.

Alexander just shook his head declining, "Don't worry I have money now. I think I should say this to you, if you ever need extra bucks just come to me" he said with a teased.

They took a while to have a conversation and finally they separated, Alexander then went back to his apartment and the delivery guy arrived he gave the guy a tip of 1,000 pesos to show his gratitude.

The delivery guy thinks that his gay and wanted to Bombayahh, with him by giving money. But he's wrong and left dejectedly but he still thanked Alexander, from his GE-NO-RO-SI-TY.

Alexander then opened the box which had a total of 14 sets, he then sends the 7 sets of Mountain Dew to 'FatMerchant69' and the 7 sets of Mountain Dew was illuminated by some white light before it dissipated in plain sight.

[AlexanderTheGrate: There, I'll send the next batches of goods next week]

[FatMerchant69: Ok]

After that Alexander decided to upgrade the Earnings Generator, to earn more money while idling. Opening the system, he navigated his finger to the upgrade button.
