Chapter 72 You Are Fired || Give Me Rent || Helpless || System

"Riyan, You are fired!"

A loud voice rang inside a small pizza store. A boy wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans with a red hat on his head lowered his head while bitting his lips.

Riyan wanted to complain but held his words. He put the hat on the table and walked to the changing room to change into his normal clothes.

While changing, he heard the pizza store owner a.k.a his former boss talking with someone on his phone.

"Yeah, I fired my employee. You can send Hiu tomorrow to work here... Yeah, don't worry about that useless employee, he was just a sore in the eyes anyway. Yeah yeah. Ok, bye."

Riyan felt even more depressed hearing insults. But he was just a poor guy, if he argued and something happened to him, he wouldn't have money to pay for the hospital. In short, a mere conflict could kill him.

After changing, Riyan exited the store and looked back at the store. This job was his only source of income, but shaking his head, he left.

He returned to his house, a small run-out-of-the-mill apartment. The wall had cracks, the exterior showed the age of the apartment.

He entered inside his room, a single room where a kitchen, bed, a small hanging stick for clothes, etc.

His entire asses couldn't even be sold for Rs. 5000, that poor he was. Not rubbing of his poorness, Riyan sighed and slept.

His heart was in turmoil.

Ting!

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone, a small cellphone, that could only use for messaging, calling, and listening radio, but that needs an earphone.

On the home screen, a small box with the message subject twinkled asking him to check it. Riyan didn't even check the message and turned off the phone.

[Rent]

Only the subject was enough for him to know what the message was about.

Dun! Dun!

Again his mobile vibrated, this time he checked the subject and read the message.

[Sub: Need Money]

[Brother, Father's health is deteriorating, we can't pay the medical bill. My school fee is also pending, if I can't pay it this month, I can't take my exam. Mother is also becoming sick day by day. She is working too hard. I know it's hard for you brother, but we need money urgently. Sorry to put pressure on you.]

Riyan felt even depressed. He checked his bank account on the message.

[Saving: Rs. 10,000]

Ten Thousand Rupee, this may sound much, but in this day and age where inflation is rising, this much money couldn't even last for a month.

He decided to send this money to his family.

'What a life.'

Riyan cursed inside his head. Being poor is a sin. He wanted to cry looking at his condition.

He couldn't even get a job at many places. He dropped out of high school due to the state of his family. He came to the modern city, looking for a job, but more than being a pizza delivery guy, he couldn't get any other job.

His monthly salary was only Rs. 6000. This much would finish after buying a grocery and paying rent. HE couldn't even save the money. Somehow living three years here, Riyan saved this much money with hard work.

Many people go to foreign countries to work since they couldn't find employment here. But he can't go abroad. He didn't have money and owing debt isn't an option. He already had tons of debt on his head due to his father's condition.

Riyan just wanted to sleep and forget all of his troubles. He just hoped the next time he woke, all of his problems would vanish.

****Bright Light*****

"Huh?"

Riyan's half-opened eyes saw the bright light slowly entering him, but he was too tired that he couldn't fully open his eye even though he wanted to.

*****Next Morning****

Opening his eyes, Riyan felt changes in his body. He didn't feel exhausted, instead, he felt like something had changed inside his body.

As he was about to get up from his head, a sound echoed inside his brain startling him.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Wha!!"

He nearly jumped out from the bed, he looked here and there and found nothing. He didn't feel the sound was coming from outside.

Suddenly, a flash of light blinded him. He blocked the light with his hand, quickly closing his eye. After being sure, the light was gone, he opened his eye just to feel the shock he hadn't felt in his entire life.

[Business Tycoon System ACTIVATED]

"Business Tycoon System? What is this?"

Stunned, Riyan felt his heart rapidly beating. For him, the screen was magical, he hadn't ever heard about the system.

Of course, the country he is living in isn't that developed. He worked and helped his family from 8 years old.

Be it novel, manga, or even anime, except for some old games that no one would remember now, he didn't know about this.

Novels are rare here, physical novels are almost non-existent in this country. If someone is living a life of luxury that is not having to work like hell, and living a decent life of having a smartphone, only they would know.

But even they will just watch anime, some rare people will read manga, and only soo rare people will read novels of system or fantasy.

In short, Riyan hadn't heard about a system in his entire life.

"What should I do?"

Confused, joy, and doubt surfaced in Riyan's heart. 'Did God bless me?'

He came to his conclusion, but being a naive boy, he didn't care about the motive of this screen.

The screen disappeared, and another huge screen appeared in front of his eyes.

Riyan felt like his entire life was going to change. His heart nearly leaped out from his chest, an unknown happiness came to him.

[Business Tycoon has been set. Please Claim your first business.]

[Plesae Enter the Tycoon for Starter Pack]

[Do you want to enter inside the Tycoon (Yes) / (No)]

"Yes!"

Riyan said in a flash. He didn't waste a second and didn't think through it before accepting this. He wouldn't lose anything even if he tried this, so why not try it?

Shine!

A bright light flashed in his eye, and the world rotated. Ripples formed in the space. And as the light disappeared, darkness appeared. The darkness was broken, as Riyan opened his eyes.

"Whoa!!"

Riyan's eye gleamed, his mouth left agape. He couldn't believe in his eye.

As far as his eyes can go, that far he could see. The sky-colored in deep blue didn't have a sun, it was still glowing even if there was no source of light.

Green grass in the land tickled his bare feet, this made him realize this wasn't a dream. He breathe the fresh air that cleared his lungs from the polluted air from outside.

The air alone made him feel like he arrived in heaven. The soft grass swayed as the wind blew, and the moderate temperature made him feel calm and relaxed.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a single tile that looked out of the world on the green grasses. On the tile, a text hovered. [Buy 'Candy Manufacture' for 0$]

And he remembered, he didn't come here to enjoy the scenery and feel the refreshing air. As he thought, a window appeared before him.

[Do you wish to open the 'Starter Pack' (Yes) / (No)]

"Yes"

[Ding!]

[Starter Pack Opened]

[Received: Rs. 50,000, Inventory, Ordinary MotorBike]

[MotorBike has been placed near the host's house. Please be relieved that no one has noticed the placement. The bike key has been delivered under the host's pillow.]

Bike?

"B-B-Bike!!!"

Riyan's mouth opened wide and exclaimed at the fact that he received a bike. A single bike cost Rs. 1,00,000. One lakh rupees (800$).

It was a huge sum for him that he won't earn even if he worked for many years.

Happiness came suddenly!

Riyan pinched himself checking if this is a dream.

"Ouch!"

Of course, this was reality.

"Ok, let's calm down!!!"

Huu! Haa! Huu! Haa!

Taking deep breaths, Riyan calmed down.

"Inventory?"

As this word left Riyan's mouth. a medium-sized window with many small box appeared. On top of the window, a text printed attracted Riyan's attention.

[Number of items inside Inventory: 0]

[Maximum Number of items that can be placed inside Inventory: 100]

[Increase the size of Inventory: Need Inventory Expansion Card]

"Ohh!"

Riyan's ignored the inventory after checking it, he was happy to get it, but it wasn't that important for now.

He walked toward the piece of tile colored white. He didn't know what to do. He examined the tile carefully, and guessed, that it look pressable?

He stepped on the tile, and it dug inside the ground.

[Ding!]

[Candy Manufacture Bought]

With this notification, the ground shook.

The soil ripped apart. Huge lumps of metal surfaced on the ground from the torn soil.

The huge metal took shape. A long metal with its sides erected, and that looked like a conveyor belt appeared. At the starting line, a huge box-like-looking thing with a round mouth where a candy dropped out.

The candy moved from there with the help of a conveyor belt and don't know whether it got disposed of or sold, it disappeared after going down from a hole that appeared at the end of the conveyor belt.

A small box with its front open and the darkness covered what was inside it, was the place where the candy disappeared.

Riyan's eyes sparkled looking at the mysterious thing. He picked a candy from the conveyor belt and looked at it deeply.

A round piece of candy covered in white plastic, Riyan ate it after taking out its wrapper. The taste...

"So Sweet!"

Riyan's tongue filled with sweetness, he couldn't describe it in words. It was just soo sweet, that even if he sold it a piece at Rs. 10, everyone will buy it.

When he looked at his side, a small window was placed at the side of the manufacturing box.

[Money per minute: Rs. 10]

"So, in one minute, I will earn... 10 rupees?"

He felt suspicious but he accepted it for now. There were another two windows under that window.

[Total Money: 20]

[Withdraw Cash]

Riyan clicked on the withdraw cash to check if it works or not.

[Ding!]

[20 Rupees have been credited to your bank account. Please check it]

Riyan felt satisfied seeing the window in front of his eyes. He walked ahead and saw another tile.

[Buy 'Speeder' Rs. 100]

[Buy 'Biscuit Manyfacture' Rs. 1000]

[Buy 'Noodles Manufacture' Rs, 5000]

"Wow!"

Riyan was overjoyed. He quickly stepped on Speeder's tile.

[Ding!]

[Insufficient Cash]

"Damn! Didn't I have 10,000 in my bank?"

Riyan complained looking at the red box.

He saw yet another window.

[Total Money: 0]

[Info: Money can be withdrawn into the real world, but real-world money can be deposited into this world.]

"Damn"

Riyan cursed but getting the benefits, he calmed down. He wanted to exit outside, and he found that he could exit if he just shouted it.

"Exit!"

Again the surroundings blurred, and ripples formed in space, he found himself in his room again.

After arriving, he checked his bank account.

[Your savings card account with the end number 3041, May 31th, 8:05 pm, net income and expenditure 50000.00 rupees, current balance 60000.00 rupees. Civil Bank ]."

[Your savings card account with the end number 3041, May 31th, 8:11 pm, net income and expenditure 20.00 rupees, current balance 60020.00 rupees. Civil Bank]"

"Nice."

Riyan's mouth curled up, he felt like his world was about to change.
