Using an app on her phone, Isabella Clark ordered an online taxi to take her to one of the major banks in City XX. The weather was quite sunny that day, allowing her to enjoy the streetscape through the car window. She took a deep breath every now and then, trying to calm her heartbeat, which for so reason felt faster than usual.
Upon arriving at Bank N, Isabella stepped inside. The bank was quite busy that afternoon, but the atmosphere was orderly. A security guard imdiately greeted her with a friendly smile.
"Good afternoon, Miss. How may I help you? Would you like to go to custor service or the teller?" he asked politely.
"Good afternoon, Sir. I would like to go to custor service to upgrade my credit and debit cards," Isabella replied with a small smile.
"Okay, here’s your queue number. Please sit there, and you’ll be called in turn," the security guard said, handing her a queue card and pointing to a row of waiting chairs.
"Thank you, Sir," Isabella replied, accepting the queue card.
Isabella sat quietly, waiting for her number to be called. While waiting, she unlocked her phone and ensured that all her important data was safely saved in the cloud. She deactivated several old social dia accounts, even deleting old posts and photos. "Everything has to be clean," she muttered under her breath. Luckily, she never saved important contacts directly on her phone—everything was safe in the cloud.
Shortly after, her number was called. Isabella walked up to the custor service desk. A young woman greeted her friendly.
"Good afternoon, welco to Bank N. How may I help you?"
"I would like to upgrade my credit and debit cards to priority," Isabella replied, handing over her credit card, debit card, passbook, and ID.
"Okay, please wait a mont, Miss," the officer said, checking Isabella’s account balance. When she saw the balance and transactions on the statent, her eyes lit up slightly. "I’ll process the data first, please wait."
The officer went into the back room to process the paperwork. Isabella checked her phone again, creating new social dia accounts under her new identity. She also changed her email password to avoid leaving any traces behind.
Shortly after, the officer returned with a wider smile.
"All upgrade processes are complete. Here’s your priority card, Miss Isabella," he said, handing her the new card.
Isabella looked at the black card with satisfaction. "Thank you, Miss."
"Would you like to activate internet banking as well, Miss Isabella? If so, I can help you with the process now," the officer offered.
"Of course, please help ," Isabella replied quickly. She downloaded the bank app and was guided by the officer until internet banking was successfully activated.
Just as Isabella was about to stand up, her phone suddenly rang loudly.
[DING!!!]
[New mission]
[Mission: Foil a robbery at Bank N]
[Reward: 1 unit of Aurora Sky Tower – Penthouse Level 52 Unit P5201 worth Rp 42 billion and black belt-level martial arts skills]
[Ti: 20 minutes]
[ACCEPT] [REJECT]
Isabella was stunned. "Aurora Sky Tower? Penthouse? Forty-two billion?!" she thought. But the situation was real. Without hesitation, she pressed the [ACCEPT] button. The mission imdiately began.
With a calm face, Isabella sat back down as if waiting for soone. However, her sharp eyes scanned every corner of the room. Her gaze landed on three n sitting separately, but their movents were suspicious. One of them looked nervous, slightly lifting his shirt, revealing the hilt of a gun at his waist.
"Damn... how can I warn security without panicking the other custors?" Isabella thought anxiously.
[The host can write a warning note and slip it into a bankbook for security. The perpetrators won’t suspect anything.] The Phoenix System’s voice rang in her mind.
Isabella imdiately stood up and walked to the form rack. With a relaxed expression, she took a blank sheet of paper and wrote a short warning ssage. After that, she approached the security guard who had greeted her.
"Excuse , sir. Can you help for a mont?" she said, handing him the bankbook with the note tucked inside.
The security guard was briefly taken aback before Isabella gave him a subtle wink. He imdiately understood.
With a questioning look, the security guard silently read the note. After confirming the ssage’s contents, he glanced at the three n in question. His face tensed, realizing the truth of the information.
Without showing any panic, he approached his colleague for help. anwhile, Isabella remained seated and monitored the situation, pretending to be busy playing with her phone.
The security guard imdiately called for police backup, who happened to be patrolling outside. Four officers entered calmly, pretending to be regular custors. Once the situation was secure, they imdiately ambushed the three n. The novice robbers had no ti to resist.
Only a single warning shot was heard, the bullet flying into the ceiling without injuring anyone. The custor who had been pulled away tried to calm himself.
[DING!!!]
[Congratulations! The Host has won 1 unit of the Aurora Sky Tower – Penthouse Level 52 Unit P5201, worth Rp 42 billion. The apartnt ownership certificate can be collected from the Host’s bag.]
[The Host also gains black belt-level martial arts skills.]
[Because the Host completed the mission before the ti expired, the Host is entitled to an additional 10 points, which will be imdiately accumulated in the Phoenix System.]
Isabella held her breath. Carefully, she opened her new Hers bag. Her eyes widened when she saw the ownership certificate of the Aurora Sky Tower – Penthouse Level 52 Unit P5201, worth Rp 42 billion, neatly folded there. Her hands trembled in disbelief.
"System... show my status panel," she whispered softly.
