05 New Life
"So it's for my protection. I won't ask any more details then, since I don't really care right now," said Arc.
"Display the specs of the ð Mobile phone."
"No need to ask me, just use your thoughts to control the system..." said Nine
"hmm, right, let me try."
Ding!
"Well, that was easier than I thought. Let's see"

Ram: 10 yottabyte
Storage: unlimited
CPU: S.E.M Alpha Sovereign core 255
Camera: true capture
Features: auto-mapping
Omni projection.
Auto personnel identification.
2-STAR AI support.
RANK 8 energy shield projection...
Arc reads all the specs, which most of it he can not understand, but those he can make him extremely astonished like 10 yottabytes!!
"whoa, unlimited storage holy-shit that's fuck up and what the fuck is yottabyte?"
"So, this is a System military-grade phone. AI support. Wicked, no wonder it's so expensive 30en that's more than half of the paper currency factory."
"I bet it's worth it."
He browses the available factory in the system. "Darn so many there are even factories to make robot soldiers like Terminator."
"200k en shit! So expensive. Eh, no way! diety production factory, able to create 5 stars to 8 stars Diety being WTF."
"Factory to create a god? whoa, so many numbers there more than one hundred digits, I don't even know how to say it. But damn that's so sick."
"Cloning factory, Battleship factory. Mech factory, Droid Factory, Drone Factory... darn alright I'm getting way out of perspective. Display factory in between 100 energy and below."
Over a hundred factories ranging from rank 5 to rank 10 weapons factory, rank 5 to10 combat vehicles, rank 5 -10 food factory, and many more...
"So many. Well, I have to check my priority."
#1 money
#2 security
#3 money again
"That's my priority right now, looks like I need to clean up the basement."
"So my priority is to build a type 1 currency factory, then for security, should I go for a 1-star rank mobile phone? Producing so much money is suspicious, and it will attract unwanted attention if I made a wrong move me and my sisters and my parents will be in danger. That needs to be avoided at all costs." Arc mumble to himself.
"By the way, why can I only see a few items in the system store? Is it because of my low privilege?"
"CORRECT"
"I see if I can build a currency factory, I'll be able to complete my current mission, meaning I can get back what I spend in building the paper currency factory."
"And if I buy the oneð mobile phone, I still have around 65en left."
"Let's see how much is for the energy factory. shit so expensive, let see the cheapest is rank 5 energy factory it costs 45 energy units and can produce 1.5 energy a day that's not so bad..."
Arc keeps thinking of what to do.
"Energy factory has no upkeep. Well, it makes sense. since it can produce the energy, it probably deducted all the energy needed to run the factory, right?"
"CORRECT," said Nine.
"Right so I can have about 16en units every 10days. That's not so bad if I can make two rank 5 energy factory I'll have 31en every 10days."
"Hehehehe, I'm rich, hahaha. Alright, no time to waste..."
Arc runs into the basement...
"Eh? Big brother? you're not sleeping yet? what are you going to do? Ask Anne a bit confused normally his brother always sleeps early"
"I'm not sleepy; don't worry about me. but you should sleep early."
"hmmm, ok... but don't stay up too late."
"Sure! I wonder what's he up to? He looks so excited, well, whatever yawn!. I'm off to bed," said Anne.
He runs straight to the basement without even looking at his sister...
Cough cough!!
"Shit so dusty in here, time to clean up."
It took Arc 3 hours to organize and clean the basement thoroughly.
"I remember I used to play here a lot when I was a kid, but after the accident, this becomes a warehouse of some sort."
He throws away all the junk that's been pilling in the basement. Their basement is quite spacious because it used to be his father's workshop. His father used to work in a company that creates all kinds of machines.
He doesn't know much about what his father did for a living; all he knows is his father used to work for a big company as a chief engineer. And most of the time, his father brings his work home, so the basement becomes his workshop.
After his father's accident, his company came to their house to collect all the materials and machines his father brought home from work. So now there's no trace of his father's old workshop in the basement anymore.
Patting his now dusty shirt...
"Alright, this is the moment of truth."
In reality, he wasn't really convinced about all this, part of him still thinks it's all a hallucination.
"build a type 1 currency factory."
He shouts in his mind...
"BUILDING TYPE 1 (CURRENCY FACTORY) 50 en CONFIRM?"
He saw a small screen in front of him, "confirm!"
Suddenly a black cube appears in front of him. It's like a Rubix cube but all black. It started spinning and growing. Five minutes later, a Type 1 currency factory machine was in front of him. It's like an oversized scanner printer type of machine with a 3d projection display on the side.
It was on the 3D projection at the side of it is showing some windows. He walks closer to the machine and saw a list of currency available for printing.
He clicks the United government currency called (Ugcredit). Ugcredit has 6 denomination
1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. He chose 100 and clicked 100 copies. 10 seconds later, 100 pieces of 100 Ugcredit bills are in front of him. He stood there for a minute dumbfounded.
"It's all real! It's real, hell yeah!" he pumps both his arms in the air.
He almost shouts out loud. Luckily, he stops himself in time otherwise, his sister would be able to hear him. He picked up the money and checked it.
"Nice, it's really real!."
He opens his wallet pick up his 100 bills he got this morning from working in the market compares the two, it's the same...
-I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm fucking rich...-
A few minutes later, he began to calm down.
"I need a plan," he said under his breath.
He picks up a big brownish cloth that used to be white and covers the paper currency factory machine. He arranges some boxes and items to hide them in the corner. After rechecking it, he nods and smiles, "alright!" And went back to his room.
On the way, he saw his sisters are already in their room sleeping...
In his room, Arc sits on his bed, took a deep breath, and began to think...
