How to earn money?

Ray and Olivia stared at each other silently. In the end, Ray decided to be the better person and stand down.

Ray sighed deeply a few times to get back his composure. He knew that in this new world, staying with his new rich wife is going to be tough. Olivia is not a bad person that much he is completely convinced.

The problem is till now he never had the chance or opportunity to show his wife the real him. Also, who knows how she will react to it?

But Ray is sure that if he tries he can impress his wife in the way she will like it. But that's not the way he does things and his intuition tells him if he approached his wife like other rich businessman with money that will not work. It might even hurt her pride instead.

What a headache!

Ray felt his head burn in anguish. It is more exhausting to use his head rather than his fist for him.

Olivia was still fuming on the other hand because of Ray. She didn't like that Ray called her a petty person. But she also felt a little sad inside for yelling at Ray.

Olivia was confused. She didn't know why Ray could influence her to act this way? She is used to being keeping her thought calm and inside her. If she could not hold in a few things then she could not be the CEO of Starlight Corporation in her age.

But for some reason Ray's words are able to easily influence her. Is it because he is the first man in her life? Maybe, but she does not want to be influenced by him.

Her and Ray's world's are completely different. They are completely opposite of each other. They lead a completely different lifestyle. How could she possibly be influenced by a lowly pickle seller?

Olivia was more confused and irritated as she more thought of their weird married relationship.

"I don't want to keep arguing with you on this matter. Will you do as i ask or not? Although there is no mention of this in the contract i would lIke it if your current situation improves. I ask you respectfully to listen to my this request. Please, Ray"

Olivia tried to use soft approach this time to get Ray to listen to her plan.

"Wow, you really are a shrewd merchant. When yelling doesn't work, you immediately went for the soft tactics. But you know Olivia you can't save the spilt milk once it is spilt and relationships can't be bargained for. I will listen to you and abide by all your arrangements but be ready for the future. I will give you an answer to you. I will show you how much my worth really is."

Saying that Ray left the house somewhat depressed. He needed to be alone for sometime. it's really exhausting to fight verbally with a person whom you cannot hurt.

Olivia felt the same way and so she also left for office after she dressed up.

...

"It's so hard to become rich!"

Ray thought hard about how to become rich but all his ideas are impractical for a modern world.

He can't do some door to door service for people as that is not going to make him rich.

"But I won't give up. I am gonna be the king of money-making world."

Ray shout that out in the middle of the empty road like a pirate from certain anime he watched yesterday."

"But what to do?"

Of course, Ray didn't intend on robbing, neither was it to buy lottery tickets, nor to speculate the stock market.

"Haah..."

Ray kind of missed his previous life at this moment where he could earn money through brute force. He didn't have to whine about being poor then.

But no reason to sulk on that now. He needs money for his business. He needs large amount of investment to start any kind of venture. So now he is looking for a way to earn that. Ray's target is to set up his business primarily before he starts his life as a student.

Half an hour later, Ray's figure appeared in a Gaming center called "Spartans Club".

Ray had long known the existence of this Game center, and even repeatedly passed this place, albeit he had never entered. He only knew that there were many schoolboys who were addicted to the game center and often spent their pocket money in this place, as well as always coming out from this place cheerfully.

When he had just stepped into the Game center, Ray couldn't help but cover his nose. Even his straight and nice looking brows were wrinkled upwards and slanted.

Ray was almost suffocated since the Game Hall was very noisy with shouts and screams, filled with lingering smoke with a bad stench. It was completely a different world compared to the outside.

But remembering his goals, Ray held back his impulse to run out.

The Game center was about 550 square meters large, and had all kinds of slot machines, with a variety of slot machine designs inside. There were all kinds of large and small slot machines ordered in 8 rows, for a total of 160 pieces.

Almost every slot machine was surrounded by a few people, or even a dozen people standing there. It was truly unexpected that such a small Game center could actually gather over a thousand people.

And to Ray's surprise, he even found that amongst these more than 1000 people, even less than a half were wearing uniforms and mostly were from neighboring schools.

"With regards to minors, gambling machines are way too deceptive for them. At first, many minors were thinking that they were only playing games. The results were that they finally became addicted to them and abandoned their studies. This Game center was opened in the middle of the downtown area and didn't even ban students from entering, this bad influence is really too much." Silently observing the crazy and lively scene in the Game center, a disgusting feeling rose in Ray's heart toward the Game center.

Ray didn't immediately start, but silently watched the method to play with the slot machine.

With such amount of people inside the Game Hall, Ray's behavior didn't cause any attention.

An hour later, Ray went to the new waiter and exchanged 10 coins before he lined up behind a slot machine.

The basic operation of the slot machine was very simple, one only needed to insert the coin and then pull down the handle. If the symbols in the box in the middle were matched, then one could get the reward money, while the sum of money was related to the odds with the symbols' occurrences.

Sometimes even if it didn't match, if a specific symbol jumped out, you still could have a certain reward, and this symbol was usually a cherry. Sometimes, the machine will set a "universal" symbol that could subst.i.tute and match any other symbols, and the reward for this "omnipotent" symbol was greater than the usual reward.
