Evaporating Money

Just like that, Jay spent quite some money in a short amount of time, buying all sorts of appliances.

Automatic Washing Machine, 25,000 Pesos.

Air Conditioner, 18,000 Pesos. 

Smart TV, 23,000 Pesos. 

Jay spent more than 60 thousand pesos already!

He spent all the money that he got from the Cube's reward today in just a few minutes! 

At this point, his mother can't help but pull him to the side and talk to him. 

"Son, what are you doing? Why are you buying so many things?"

"Didn't I tell you that we will be shopping?"

"I know but, look at those things that you bought. They are so expensive! Where did you even get the money to buy all of those?"

Jay's mother looked at him worriedly.

At this time, she can't help but start imagining her son doing certain bad things just to earn money. 

Knowing his mother's thoughts Jay chuckled.

"Didn't I tell you already? It was all from live streaming!"

Jay's mother frowned, "Are you sure you're not lying to me? Is that… live streaming that profitable?"

Jay nodded confidently, "Yes, Mom. Don't worry, all the money that I have is real. I won't do anything bad just for money."

After Jay's repeated assurance, his mom finally relented and let him be. 

Jay immediately heaved a sigh of relief. 

Since he already spent a lot today, Jay finally stopped shopping. 

At this time, his sister came running back.

"Brother, brother, come, I found something!"

"Oh, what is it?"

Jay immediately became interested in the thing that she found. 

So, he and his mother followed her for a while and arrived at the electronic massager section. 

They found his father already there, staring at one item. 

It was a massage chair. 

"Brother, you said you'll buy anything, right? How about this one?"

Jean said with a big smile, pointing at the exact massage chair that their father is looking at. 

Jay walked closer to the massage chair with interest. 

Only then did his father notice his arrival, along with Jay's mother.

"Oh, you're here. Jean has been looking at this thing. She even made me try it after asking an employee."

"Oh? How was it then, Dad?"

Jay's father fell silent for a moment before talking.

"Hmm… it wasn't bad."

Jay looked at his father for a while, observing his expression. 

After a while, Jay smiled. 

From the way that his father is frowning, he can already tell that he must have liked the massage chair. 

It's just that he doesn't want to make Jay spend money on buying it. 

Knowing all this, Jay took another look at the massage chair. 

Mostly just looking at the information of the massage chair and its price.

19,999 Pesos.

Jay rolled his eyes at the price. 

'Why even bother making it 19,999 when it's clearly a peso away from 20 thousand.' He silently thought.

Despite the thoughts in his mind, Jay still called for the sales staff that helped Jean and his Dad earlier to help with the procedure.

The sales staff smiles wide after hearing that Jay wants to purchase the massage chair. 

After all, he will be making commissions with every product that he sells. 

That's why without hesitation, the sales staff started helping Jay. 

In just 5 minutes, the purchase was done and Jay now owns an additional massage chair.

After paying for all their stuff, Jay opened his mobile wallet to see his balance. 

With an additional spending of 20 thousand pesos, Jay is only left with 4 thousand pesos in his mobile wallet. 

Seeing that, Jay smiled wryly.

"Money is really hard to earn, but easy to spend," he muttered.

Despite all of his money almost seemingly evaporating, Jay didn't feel regret or whatever. 

Instead, Jay is feeling really happy right now. 

Looking at the happy and excited smiles on his parents, as well as his sister's face, Jay felt content. 

Only in moments like this where he can give them whatever they want can Jay truly feel happiness inside of him. 

… 

Since they bought too many things and they can't really carry any of it, those appliances are going to be delivered to their house later. 

So, with smiles and empty wallet, the family left the appliances department. 

"So, where do you guys want to go next?"

As they are walking, Jay turned to his family and asked. 

As usual, Jean was the first one to answer. 

"Brother, brother, how about we go to an arcade?"

"Yeah! Look, over there!"

Jay followed the direction Jean is pointing at and indeed saw an arcade. 

The entrance was packed with claw machines while the inside was filled with various other games. 

From basketball, bowling, coin machines, etc. to combat games, zombie shooting games, and a lot more others. 

There's even a karaoke booth on the side corner of the arcade.

In this kind of place, Jay is also familiar. 

After all, when he was younger, he hung out here with his friends as well. 

Even though a lot of the games that could be found here before are now gone, it wasn't a problem to Jay. 

So, at Jean's urging, the family headed towards the arcade. 

"Good morning, Ma'am and Sir."

An employee greeted with a polite smile. 

"Hello, Miss. Can we buy some tokens?"

"Okay, sir. Just place your money over here and the machine will pour tokens that are worth the amount you put in."

Listening to the employee, Jay took out a 500 peso bill from his wallet and inserted it on the machine. 

Light flashed on the small monitor and finally it showed 150.

It appears that 500 pesos could buy 150 tokens.

Token started pouring out from the mouth of the machine and it took a while for it to stop. 

"Hahaha there's a lot of tokens!" Jean cheered. 

Jay took out all the tokens and started dividing it into four. 

"Here, have some tokens. You guys go and try whatever you want to try."

When Jay tried handing the tokens, they immediately refused. 

"No need, Son. We don't even know how to play games around here. We'll just sit there and wait for you and your sister to finish playing."
