THE RETURN MULTIPLIER SYSTEM

Janah arrived before the store. It was named Nana Provision Store. This is the store that he always visited on his way home to buy bread. He usually spent more than half of the daily money given to him for school in this store.

He wasn't going to change his daily routine today, as the store mostly sells cheap goods, not to mention he's one of Aut Nana's customers. Actually, the things are not cheap at all, but she really finds Janah pitiful.

He could see that the food he bought was decent. Furthermore, the location of the store wasn't that far from his way, which will save him a lot of time, and he won't be punished because he won't reach home late.

Along the way, there were some other students that were already on the way, as it was already afternoon. But they are not in as much of a hurry to reach home as Janah is, because if he doesn't reach home early, he will experience the real hell on earth.

Janah took out the money that he'd kept for the day and opened the provision store. As he entered, he found that Aut Nana was waiting at the counter.

There was a counter where she would be operating the store closer to the door. It was located on the right side of the door. He could see that there were rows of shelves and fridges that were holding the stock that she was supposed to sell.

After confirming that everything was okay and nobody was in the store, he went to the counter. He wanted to start buying immediately. After all, he couldn't afford to laze around when there was a lot of work waiting for him back at home to do.

"Hey brat, you are back?" What will you have today? "Is it still bread? "Haha?" Aut Nana asks

"Aut Nana, you don't have to laugh at me; what else can I have apart from bread? "I don't have that much money, you know." Janah answered.

Most of the things that he bought were not fresh at all. They were things like packed milk, noodles, and so on. These things were cheap, and they were the only thing he could afford.

As for the money, he has to work every time he is back from school; if he can't finish the work he was given at home, he won't be given food that day or money for school the next day. Furthermore, he has to do all the work at the Jackson household alone; Janah is a last-year student at Orange County High School. So he is always the last in class due to doing all the work at home; therefore, if he wanted to have time for study, he would need at least two people to assist him. But he would have to wait for the world to end for anyone to assist him.

"Are you not tired of eating bread ? Anyway, suit yourself," Aut Nana replied.

"I'd like some milk. I'm going home, and I can't afford to enjoy my time here in the store every day. So, I want those that can help me last for the night." The Janah said

Aut Nana nodded. There was no problem at all, as long as the payment was made. So she gave him bread and milk, and Janah paid her 5 dollars before leaving immediately. It seemed that he was in a hurry to do something.

As soon as he reached the door to leave, Janah heard a robotic voice in his head.

[Ding! Congratulations on activating the return multiplier system!.]

[Ding! You've bought an item with five dollars. x10 multiplier applied. [You've received 50 dollars.]

[Ding, the host has no bank account.]

[Ding, Zenith bank accounts have been created for the host.]

[Ding, you have received a 100-dollar deposit newbie pack.]

The voice rang five times in such a way that it made Janah feel like he was hallucinating. But the fact was that he had never taken any drugs, so he felt that there was no way that he could be hallucinating.

'Return Multiplier System? What's this?' Janah asked himself.

Before he could think further, the phone in his hand vibrated. Upon looking at the screen, Jack was dumbfounded.

[Zenith Bank Account Received $150 The new balance is $150.00.]

That message confirmed the first message about him receiving money and about the bank account because he had never visited a bank before, not to mention having an account. Now, what was all this about?

[Ding! You are the lucky host of the Blue Star planet. You've been selected by the Return Multiplier System. With this system, as long as you spend anything practical to receive any form of gain back, it will be multiplied. Remember that the number of times it will be multiplied depends on your level]

[Ding! There are things that will be multiplied in terms of quality, and others will be multiplied in terms of quantity.]

The robotic voice echoed in his head as the explanation of what was happening was immediately explained to him. Janah wasn't sure if he was dreaming or hallucinating—maybe both?

He pinched his arm and felt the pain. This meant that all of this was real! Furthermore, the bank message confirmed that he had indeed received $150 in his account after the transaction was done.

After taking a moment to cool himself down, Janah sat on the chair in front of the store and asked in his mind, 'Can you tell me more about the system?"

[Ding! I am your guide, Lucy. I will help you with matters concerning the system. So, for the question that you've just asked, the system is something supernatural that's out of the Blue Star planet. Of course, you're not qualified to know about the origins of the system yet.]

[Ding! The system's main function is to make sure that people who work very hard without gaining anything are rewarded. You will be an example. By working hard, your rewards will be great. So, the system will reward you for your hard work by multiplying all your outcomes, whether tangible or intangible.]

[Ding! Of course, there's a limitation. Anything that is not done by you or if you do anything but the outcome is not for you will not be multiplied.]

Janah thought for a moment and couldn't help but get excited. This was beyond his imagination. But he could only thank his lucky stars that, among the billions of people on the Blue Star planet, the system had chosen him.

Then he thought of something. 'Is there any other person on the planet that has a system?"

[Ding! Negative. There's nobody else with a system on the Blue Star planet, as it's unique. There are no copies.]

Jack, for some reason, let out a sigh of relief. Then he couldn't help but get excited. As long as he could work hard and spend anything, then he would really get something bigger. This was something that he was really looking forward to.

[Ding! There's another program. The quest system The system will give you a random quest, and as long as you have done it successfully, you will receive a reward from the system.]

[Ding! There are different levels of the system, and you can only level up using experience points (XP). " Note: You earn experience points only by doing quests." When your level increases, your multiplier also increases. Currently, you have a x10 multiplier.]

Janah's mouth was forced to stay wide open after hearing the system's words. He could understand the first x10 multiplier. But what the hell is with this increase in multiplier? Does that mean when he levels up one day, the returns can be multiplied 1000 times?

Did the system want him to be the richest person? When that time comes, you can stop him then. Not to mention this is not only about money; that can only mean he can earn anything at all as long as he knows how to do it.

And what's more, according to the bank account, it had only been a few minutes, but he had already earned $150 since he entered the store. And if he continued spending it, wouldn't he become rich at any moment?

Janah calmed himself down and asked, 'The money that I get from the multiplier return, if I spend it again, will I get a multiplier return?'

[Ding! With the system, as long as the host spends any money belonging to him, he will receive the multiplier return. Anything is possible.]

'You mean that I can become smart? Be able to fight?' He couldn't help but start imagining.

[Ding! That's right.]

And the system confirmed this. Jack wanted to jump off his seat and run around, shouting about his luck. But he still managed to calm himself down.

'By the way, is there any quest?' Jack asked.

[Ding! There is no quest yet; if there is one, the system will let you know, or you can see it on the system status as long as you say the word 'status'.]

Janah didn't wait to say the word "status."
