"My negative networth has gone down by over $400 and now, there are two different balances being displayed here," Jas said to himself, as he viewed his info screen.

Naturally, his eyes first went towards his Financial Status section, imdiately his info screen popped up.

Finally, for the first ti in years, Jas saw his debt actually go down instead of up. It wasn't much, but seeing that number shrink instead of growing gave him a feeling he hadn't felt in a long ti. Hope.

He would be lying if he said that he has gotten used to this new reality. And it would still take him quite a while before he gets used to it.

But for now, he has to start thinking about how to do the needful: using the system to make money.

Before that, he needs to familiarize himself with the system. Before it went silent — or into hibernation, as Jas preferred to call it — the system had already given him an overview of its abilities.

Even without the system's explanation, Jas would had been able to figure out everything by himself. But it would had taken him ti, and a couple of trials and errors.

His stats are straightforward. Strength encompasses his physical strength, endurance, and vitality. Agility, his speed, dexterity, and reflexes. Intelligence covers his ntal abilities, and Charisma is related to both his appearance and people's impression of him.

Jas was initially surprised — and, to be honest, a little bit offended — by his Charisma low stat. And those feelings increased when the system told him that the stat cap for an average untrained human is 10.

But this was before he was told that Charisma wasn't just only about his physical appearance.

Jas decided to stop thinking about superficial things as he turned his attention to sothing more important.

"Mmmm... There are now two different balances being displayed here. Before the second balance appeared, the system said that the amount displayed in the first one is amount of money that is rebate-eligible.

Which ans the second balance in bracket is probably..." He said, and paused as he brought out his phone to confirm sothing.

He checked the second deposit alert that he got after receiving the rebate for paying the driver, and he nodded in understanding.

"Yes. The second account balance in bracket is my actual account balance. Cool. From now on, I probably won't have to check my bank app whenever I want to check my account balance." He smiled.

"But the negative networth... Though, that will change very soon. Now, onto the next. The [System Resources] section.

Considering what the system said about the lottery tickets, stat points and system points, I should forget about that section for now."

According to the system, the lottery tickets are very rare and can only be gotten through rewards after completing missions.

As for the system points, with my current negative networth and asly account balance, how will I be able to spend $1M to swap for one system points?" Jas said, shaking his head.

He was too poor. Too poor. But that will change soon.

"That amount is too far out of reach for the current . To make things worst, the stat point cost ten tis the system points. I have to exchange 10 system points for 1 stat point. Which is $10M for 1 stat point!" Jas said, and sighed heavily.

"Though I'm curious as to what the system store has to offer, I can't access it due to it locked state. To unlock it, the system said that I need to have at least 10,000 System Points."

"Tsk. Why is everything so expensive?"

Jas couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in exasperation at his saddening financial situation.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that I will get a mission soon and I will also get so system points from it as rewards," Jas said to himself, and smiled in self consolation.

Though Jas said all that about the system point being expensive, he was still happy. Even if the system didn't co with any other functions, the 10x rebate was more than enough for him. And this is even with its restrictions.

Yes, the 10x rebate has restrictions. The first and most important of them is that the rebate won't apply to any money received from rebate. Therefore the reason for the [Financial Status] section in his info screen.

The other restrictions is that the rebate only applies to money earned. In better words, profits. It doesn't apply to gifts, hand out or anything of that sort.

He has to earn the money either through work, business or investnt.

Jas was aware that even with the system, he still has to work hard as it won't make him rich overnight.

But even with the restrictions, Jas was extrely happy with it. But he won't be human if he doesn't try to look for a loophole.l around it.

"Now, what to do? I have over $1k in cash, with a little over $600 being eligible for rebate. I have to start planning on how to make more... rebate eligible money," Jas said, fiddling with his phone, as he fell into deep thought.

One might say that the best and fastest option he has is gambling, but Jas didn't consider that. Because for starters, he doesn't gamble, two, though it's the fastest way, it's also the riskiest.

It's not guaranteed that he would win if he plays. Yes, he won't exactly be losing if he doesn't win but he will lose the remaining rebate eligible funds he has left.

Unless there's a thod that reduces the risk involved considerably, he will consider it. But till then, it's a no-go for him.

The next mont, the sound of a system notification rang in his head, breaking his line of thoughts.

[Ding!]

[New Mission: Get Out of Debt]

[Description: Have a networth of at least $10,000. Reward: 30 System Points.]

***

Jas smiled wryly when he read the system notification. What were the chances that he would get a mission related to exactly what he was thinking about?

"Well, it's official now. My debt has to go and I need to do that to get that reward of 30 System Points."

Even before the mission ca, Jas' thoughts were already on how to clear his debt. And now that he will be getting a reward of 30 System Points, he was beyond motivated.

The 30 System Points were no ans small. In monetary value, it was $30M. And they can also be converted into stat points, which will give him 3 stat points. Yes, it doesn't sound much but it's a great number for a start.

Though Jas felt that it was slightly disheartening that there's no way to convert the 30 System Points to money.

"Well, the mission won't complete itself and the bag won't make itself. Ti to make so money!"
