Idle Money System

Alexander was surprised to see a familiar face again. "What a coincidence," he thought to himself.

"Good evening, miss," he greeted, still unsure of her name.

Since they were neighbors, it seemed natural that they should know each other. The pink-haired girl realized this too after living next door to each other for so long, getting to know one another made sense.

"I'm Lily Carter, nice to meet you-" Lily the pink haired girl inquired, with her expression full of question mark

"Alexander" Alexander said responding with a shake of hands.

After getting to know each other, Alexander pulled his hands back and noticed what she was wearing it is a plain white t-shirt and black jeans. He thought she might be heading out for some things.

"Are you going out?" Alexander asked respectfully, he did not really want to butt in from her life and be nosy. But yet he did.

But for real he just run out of topic to talk about, since she only meets her for once.

"Oh, I'm just going out to buy dinner from a retail store. Are you heading there too?" she asked with a smile, her dimples making her look even cuter and more innocent.

Alexander nodded in response. "Yes, I'm just going to go out to have some dinner to fill my stomach. Would you like to go together?" he suggested.

Lily the pink haired woman did not rejected Alexander offer, since they were going at the same place and finally get to know each other. Having a little conversation to the place seems good.

Since she also felt a favorable impression toward Alexander, she couldn't help but notice that this was the first time she had met a man who remained calm and composed without changing his expression while talking to her.

She was a very observant person, but when she looked into Alexander's gaze, it felt as if he had a heart of stone.

"Am I not pretty?" She mumbled as the two of them were out of the building.

On the road that only cars were making noises, while some passerby chatter. The both of them did not have any talk, Alexander really did not know how to communicate since she was unfamiliar with her.

The silence was so loud between the two of them, finally they arrived at the nearby 24-hours retail store. Alexander and Lily went inside the store and look for something to buy.

As they arrived in the counter to pay Alexander bought a Cup noodles with a bread and a hot red hotdog inside. He paid for less than a hundred just barely moved his money in his balance.

While Lily also bought some Cup noodle also but the one, she buys was like that of a porridge with rice on it. While Alexander was the sushi kind.

After paying the food Alexander sat in the table followed by Lily, the two of them were facing each other. If people were to look at this scene, they will think that this two were dating or more precise were in a relationship.

Alexander then opens the lid, which was opened slightly, before he seats at the place. He first filled it with hot water he also assisted Lily earlier to fill it with hot water, which she agreed readily.

As they sat together, neither of them had spoken since they were at the apartment, aside from a bit of small talk when he helped her fill a cup with hot water earlier.

After a moment of awkward silence, he decided to initiate a conversation to get to know her better.

"So, Lily, is it okay if I ask whether you attend school? What year are you in?" Alexander asked while sipping his noodles.

Hearing his questions, Lily replied with enthusiasm, "Yep, I'm in college right now! I'm currently a second-year student in BFA."

From her voice, it was clear that she truly loved her course. Alexander had no idea what BFA stood for, so he sat in silence, trying to process what kind of program it was.

Noticing his blank expression, Lily understood what he was thinking. "Actually, BFA stands for Bachelor of Fine Arts. It's a four-year program that offers specializations in Painting, Sculpture, and Visual Communication," she explained to help him understand.

Alexander, caught off guard, felt embarrassed as he noticed his own reaction. Lily smiled at him reassuringly.

"Don't worry about it you're not the only one who doesn't know. I've been asked so many times, and only a few people really understand it, so it's completely normal."

Hearing this made Alexander feel a little better. He wasn't particularly smart just an average guy. But he thought that not knowing about the course didn't reflect on his intelligence actually, it was more about not having done the research, so there was no reason to be disappointed in himself.

"What about you Alexander what course are you in?" Lily asked her gaze is questioning.

"Oh mine? actually, mine is Bachelor of Secondary Education since I find it fun to teach. I plan to enroll as a first-year next month when the school opens" Alexander said with a smile.

Lily parted her lips slightly and said, "Oh," but when she heard that he was a first-year student, her brows furrowed.

"Did you just say you're a first year? when school opens?" she asked.

"Yes," Alexander replied without hesitation.

Lily mouth was in awe the way she looked at Alexander, seeing this Alexander was stunned seeing her expression.

"Is it really that shocking or is there a ghost behind me" Alexander said doubtfully as he gazed at her eyes that is clearly looking at him.

"So, there's no ghost" Alexander said with a blank expression.

"Is it really a matter to be shocked with, its not like it's a famous or well-known course." Alexander spoked.

Realizing her sudden changed in expression, she was embarrassed and quickly adjusted herself.

"Sorry about that, that was a bit unprofessional of me. I just assumed you were the same as me, a second or even third-year student I did not you're just actually recent graduate. It's just that you have the demeanor of a mature person who has experienced a lot," she explained, sharing her honest thoughts.

Hearing this, Alexander understood why she had mistaken him for being older. It was due to his skill, "Stone of Heart," and the experiences that had greatly enhanced his demeanor as a man, even though he was only 18.

"So, what kind of school do you plan to enroll in" she inquired as her ears perked up a little.

"I plan to enroll in Sagebrook College on Monday its just 3 days away." Alexander replied.

He found this information on their official page stating that they would open on Monday, so he realized he needed to prepare the necessary requirements.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Meanwhile, Lily's face lit up with excitement.

"Really? You're going to attend Sagebrook? That's great! I guess that makes me your senior," Lily said proudly.

Being called a senior by a young, handsome man felt wonderful to her.

"Senior? You're actually a student at Sagebrook?" Alexander asked, surprised.

"Of course! If you need a tour guide, I'll be there. Just call me Lily," she joked, laughing lightly.

She looked like an innocent young maiden.

Alexander was in a turmoil right now, her beauty and demeanor as an innocent and quiet girl, was actually different from her real self.

"She's actually pretty talkative and very lively, I really though she's the quiet type. Looks can really be deceiving" Alexander though about her.

They have some conversation about some stuff their laugh and engaging talk were a good sight to see, they then finished their talk and dinner that took exactly 30 minutes.

Alexander then took the honor to grab the food they had brought and tossed it into the dumpster to help reduce pollution and prevent the spread of germs.

[Be like Alexander—responsible with your trash, if you don't want to be a trash in the future.]

They took a walk still having a conversation and finally arrived back to the apartment, just outside their door, Alexander bid farewell.

"Have a nice sleep senior" Alexander said, his face arched a smile.

"Ayy, I said don't call me senior you're making me looked old. I'll go now and rest you to as well Alexander" Lily said with a smile.

Alexander nodded then both of them went inside their irrespective place, inside felling rejuvenated and full. He decided to continue his work which is the tapping kind.

His total balance is currently [261,238 Pesos] added by his Earning Generator that earned him only [ 2,400 pesos] for about 36 minutes outside.

Alexander then started, he knows that it will take him about 4-5 hours to achieve his necessary goal.

He did not waster anymore time as he started at 8:01 pm. With his pointed finger, he tapped at the screen with unbelievable speed.

Just like that an hour passed he earned [180,360 pesos.] in Tap earnings.

"The earnings this were slow, I must increase my speed tapping" Alexander voiced out.

With an increased in speed his fingers tap at the speed of lightning, just like that another hour passed yet again. In just 1 hour he earned [299,700 pesos] from tap earning.

He was surprised by the increased when he increased his pace. So, he continued with his finger that was numbed already with his movement somewhat slow down a little.

Making him earned at least [278,870 pesos] Which is still good totaling this he had around [758,930 pesos] In his Tap Earning balance.

"I though it will take me 4-5 hours but it actually took me around 3 hours at most" Alexander said excitedly.

As he claimed the money from Tap Earnings and the Earnings Generator, which was [12,000 Pesos], he added it to his current balance of 261,238 Pesos.

This brought his total balance to [1,032,168 pesos]. Suddenly, a *ding sounded, indicating that he had finally completed the mission.
