At his age, he shouldn’t be having such thoughts about a young girl! Jacob silently chastised himself.
Soon, the electric bike arrived at the bus station, and coincidentally, the bus Lara needed to take was just pulling in.
“Go quickly!”
“Let me know when you get to school,” Jacob waved at Lara.
“Okay, ride slowly on your way back, and be safe,” Lara reminded him as she walked onto the bus.
Jacob nodded slightly, and after the bus left, he rode the electric bike home.
When he got home, Macy was indeed still fast asleep.
This little girl had always been able to eat and sleep well, so Jacob didn’t have to worry about her meals or sleep.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, he lay down on the bed, and soon sleepiness overtook him; Jacob quickly fell asleep.
Ding! Task progress reminder.
In a 619-book bar, no mistakes!
Detected that the host successfully lost one pound, current weight 191 pounds.
Settlement reward: One hundred thousand dollars.
Jacob, who was already in a deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by the mechanical notification sound.
He groggily opened his eyes; Macy was still sleeping beside him, her little mouth moving as if she was dreaming.
Ding!
The phone on the bedside table lit up with a message from the Industrial and Commercial Bank.
Jacob opened the message and glanced at it, instantly wide awake.
Just now, his bank card had received a deposit of 100,000 dollars.
Jacob rubbed his eyes in disbelief; the message was still there.
He opened the Industrial and Commercial Bank app to check his balance, and sure enough, the balance that had been only 2,658 dollars had turned into 102,658 dollars.
The system actually existed!
Jacob sat up in bed, his heart racing with excitement.
He had read online novels before, but he never imagined that one day he would have a system like those protagonists! But where did this money come from?
Jacob quickly checked the transfer information and was even more confused.
Because the transfer was from “Infogrames Investment Co., Ltd.”! This company was one he created in the game “Monopoly Tycoon”.
This meant that this “Infogrames Investment Co., Ltd.” was not a real company at all.
But how could a company in a game transfer money to the real world?
Could it be that this company actually exists?
Jacob hurriedly searched for the name of the company online, and he was even more bewildered.
Because he actually found it!
The company was headquartered in the capital and was an investment company under the Deep Red Games! Holy crap!
The Deep Red Games!! Is it the same Deep Red Games from my game??? Jacob pinched the flesh at the root of his thigh hard, causing him to wince in pain! He rushed to the bathroom, filled the sink with water, and plunged his head into it. About a minute later, feeling oxygen-deprived, he suddenly lifted his head, splashing water everywhere.
In the mirror, he saw his face drenched, his expression one of panic.
This isn’t a dream! This is actually real!!
People wake up from dreams when they lack oxygen.
Therefore, Jacob was certain he wasn’t dreaming.
Analyzing the known information, the Monopoly Tycoon game he played had somehow manifested into reality.
In other words, the wealth he accumulated in the game might all be his! At this thought, Jacob swallowed hard. That was trillions of dollars!
The Deep Red Games Corporation in the game spanned numerous industries; in the real world, it would have almost no rivals.
But right now, he only had 100,000 dollars! Jacob wiped the water droplets from his face and sat on the living room sofa, lost in thought.
His first thought was the system, then the main quest.
He summoned the system interface with his mind: Main Quest Progress: 0%! Jacob seemed to understand. This main quest was likely the process of inheriting all his in-game assets.
According to the system, his weight was above the standard, not fitting the image of a tycoon in the game’s setting, so he needed to lose weight first.
No, this standard seemed to be self-imposed.
Jacob remembered that when he first entered the “Monopoly Tycoon” game, he needed to create a character, and he had created the character based on his younger self’s physique.
So now the system was asking him to lose weight to his previously set weight of 150 pounds to match the in-game image??
Jacob wasn’t sure if his reasoning was correct, but it felt incredibly surreal.
Before, he was playing the game, slowly cultivating his in-game character, expanding his business empire.
Now, the game was cultivating him, just like he had cultivated his in-game character. Well, if he could inherit all the in-game assets, being cultivated wasn’t so bad!
