It was Sunday morning, and Christian, who had decided the previous day to accumulate more in Idle Practicing while focusing on Trading, was now reading the system ssages after receiving the accumulated information.

Maybe because he had glossed over the ssage windows after collecting the information yesterday, Christian hadn't noticed it at first. But now, looking carefully, he imdiately saw that the experience he was receiving had nearly doubled. And the only other change that happened, was that his Trading skill had advanced from basic to Interdiate.

Would this an that higher-level knowledge, or as the system rated them, 'Interdiate skills' and above, would yield more experience?

It was very likely true. But then, reading the next ssages about how much the skill percentage had increased, he also discovered that interdiate skills would require even more ti to level up.

But on second thought, he was starting to make progress 'working at Trading', which ant he would soon see tangible results—money. So, the extra ti didn't matter as much.

Christian then opened his status window.

Idle practicing slots:(0/2)

Seeing his current Level seven first and how it's nearing ten, Christian was filled with anticipation. As once it hit level ten, he would likely get another Idle Practicing slot, allowing him to accelerate everything even further.

Then looking at his Constitution which had not been raised till now, Christian felt sorry for it. "Should I try learning so martial arts? Or do so exercise? Or maybe assign so unspent points to it?" While the thought crossed his mind, he quickly dismissed it.

In this peaceful world, his life was by no ans in danger, and there were still things more important for now. Most importantly, he could probably improve his Constitution with so exercise or fitness routines, unlike comprehension, which he didn't have any clue of how he should raise it aside from the points.

He then looked at the two unassigned points and, without much hesitation, allocated them to comprehension.

Taking a break from working his brain, Christian decided to watch the latest episode of an ani that had just been released while enjoying a light breakfast.

Christian was now sitting in front of his computer, beginning his trading work. Staying updated with the latest market news was crucial, after all.

After spending nearly an hour on the routine tasks of monitoring and adjusting positions, Christian felt it was enough for now. He decided to do another hour of trading work later in the evening.

…

It was late at night when Christian checked his trading account after collecting the accumulated information from his system. His starting amount of $2,500 had grown to $2,700. This increase was after one and half day at weekend, and with him not taking much risk, just so safe purchases.

A raise of nearly 10%, as a start, he felt it was good enough, but still, as he got the first taste of making money, he didn't feel it was sweet, but bitter because of the efforts he spent.

Setting aside the bitter aftertaste, Christian turned his thoughts to his future plans. He knew that nothing could begin without money, so he pondered his next steps carefully.

He could the the ultimate goal is a long and happy life. But these things aside what about now? He will start getting a steady inco of money, he could spend. So what he should do with them ?

Should he stay here in Harrisburg, or try to go after a higher level map, like New York?

While it seed like a difficult question, actually it was not and Christian arrived at the answer quickly: he should stay in Harrisburg for now. There was no need to think about relocating before finishing high school.

So, what cos next? One of his goals was to help his sister, to let her stop working at the current place which didn't even give her that much of salary, without even the chance of promotion because of her low education. He would help her do what she wanted, if she wanted to start learning now even if it's late, it was okay.

And if she had so business idea, and wanted carry it out, while knowing it would fail was also okay.

But that was about his sister, what about him?

Christian pondered further and realized that with money in hand, his next priorities should be his health and security.

While improving his health was straightforward, involving fitness exercises and a balanced diet, then it was done.

But his security or safety was another matter entirely. Learning self-defense martial arts could help, but in a situation where soone had a weapon like a gun, it would be of little use.

He could try to beco even more strong, but then while he is staying in his room thinking how he should conquer the world, one missile would co at him and it was ga over.

He could consider developing so anti-missile technology secretly, but aside from how it would require significant money and ti.it also carry risks—if discovered by the governnt, he could face imprisonnt or worse.

Not to ntion nuclear bombs, which he couldn't think of any way to protect himself from if they were ever to be aid directly at him.

So coming back to the first point, which was security and safety, he needed to think about how to guarantee it.

Taking so ti to ponder and contemplate, suddenly an epiphany struck him, making Christian feel like he was a protagonist because of their number.
