Kapitel 3: Casino | New Friend
The casino, a wonderful place that sucks you dry of money.
I've been to my nearest casino many times in the previous three years since I was old enough to be let in. Luckily I got a membership the first day I came so all that money I've lost- I mean, won over the previous few years has allowed me into the special area of the building where all the high rollers play their games.
And of course, I'm in that place currently. The place where rich seniors are throwing out thousand dollar bets and happily laughing when they lose it as if they don't have a care in the world while I'm standing at a roulette table with nothing but my measly $50 note.
What about the other $150 you ask?
Well, I originally got $150 out hoping to turn it into the $400 required by the mission and using the remainder for alcohol. After all, alcohol apparently makes you luckier according to the casino's employees.
Having already used my drinking money for the night, I'm barely standing while trying to decide what I should bet on next when someone joins me at the table.
"Hey there young fella, mind if I join you at this table?" (???)
I see an Asian middle-aged man walk over with two young girls in his arms. And by young, I'm actually surprised they were allowed into the casino.
"No problem. There's no one else over here anyway." (Harry)
"Hahaha. Great! My names Stan by the way. Nice to meet you!" (Stan)
"Nice to meet you too. My names Harry. Did you come over here just to play roulette?" (Harry)
"I've been watching you since you came in since it's rare to see someone so young in this area. Considering that you came in with hardly any money your business must've recently failed, right?" (Stan)
"Yeah, I used to deal in gold but I've recently been blocked from selling any." (Harry)
"Ah, I know how you feel. I have quite a few oil selling businesses around the world and I've had to recently stop one in Iraq due to some fighting going on in the area." (Stan)
Wait, what. I was talking about selling World of Warcraft gold for real-life money and my account getting blocked. Does he think I was talking about actual gold? Wait, this could be an opportunity. System, Is there any way to get gold through the item shop?
'Sorry User, but there are no items that allow you to get online currency!' (System)
(A/N: In case you didn't know, the system talks inside his head.)
I meant physical gold! Not WoW Gold!
'Oh. Then yes there is a way. One way I recommend is to use a Philosophers Stone to turn stone into gold.' (System)
I quickly open up the menu using my mind and go to the item shop. I quickly look through the list for my future money maker and find it quite easily.
Philosophers Stone: 100,000 IP
It's impossible for me right now but I can still make preparations for when it is possible, right?
"I don't have any right now but I will in the future. At that time, would you be interested in helping me sell?" (Harry)
The carefree face that was on the man suddenly changed into the serious face of a businessman. At least that's what I think it looks like. I shouldn't forget to mention that the two young girls are now shooting me death stares. I feel like I'm suffocating just from the pressure from their glares. They both look of Asian heritage, are they both immortal martial artists or something like that? Since something like the system can exist then I can't see why there can't be a 5,000-year-old granny.
While I'm pissing myself in front of those women, Stan decides to break the silence.
"Is it legal gold? If I do decide to help you, how much of the profit do I get from selling it? How much can you provide me and how pure is that gold?" (Stan)
"The gold won't be illegal. I can give you 10% of its market worth. I used to only deal with half a ton but I can easily get up to 10 tons of gold with no problem and it'll be 24k gold." (Harry)
When he heard that it was only going to be 10% he started showing disinterest but when he heard both 10 tons and 24k gold in the same sentence his pupils legitimately became dollar signs and his eyeballs somehow started radiating light.
He quickly reverted back to his carefree attitude and seeing this the two women stopped trying to kill me with there glares. Making sure no one was listening in on their conversation he quickly replied with glee in his voice.
"I don't care if you get the gold from robbing a bank but as long as you have it I'll do my best to sell it for you!" (Stan)
"Sure, as long as your willing, I'll definitely contact you when I have it." (Harry)
We quickly give each other a handshake and before I can ask for some contact information he walks away with a spring in his step. Looking down at my hand, I see a slip of paper with a phone number written on it.
Happy that I now have a possible income in the future, I quickly shove the piece of paper into my pocket and in my excitement, I throw my $50 chip towards the 2 on the roulette board, not noticing that it slides a bit as it lands.
Just as I realise that I threw away my chance to complete the mission anytime soon, the employee manning the roulette spins the ball not giving me any time to take it back.
Glaring at the employee who has an innocent expression, I was getting ready to leave and kill a few thousand cockroaches until I notice that it looks like it's about to land on the 2. I see the ball perfectly land in the section for the number 2 before it jumps around a bit and instead lands in 0.
(A/N: For all you roulette pro's out there, The MC is playing American roulette right now)
Not paying attention to the employee's gobsmacked face, my heart shatters and I turn to leave until I hear a mechanical voice resound inside my head.
'Ding! Mission 1: Double or Nothing Completed! 2000 EP, 2000 IP, 1000AP and 1000SP Gained! Mission 2: Mansions are Best Unlocked!'
'Ding! Due to not only completing the mission so quickly but also getting more than 4 times the required amount of currency, you have unlocked a special mission!'
'Current Level Unlocked!'
'Ding! Congratulations for levelling up, your current level is lv1!'
'Ding! Congratulations for levelling up, your current level is lv2!'
'Ding! Congratulations for levelling up, your current level is lv3!'
'User can see your current level in the Status menu.'
I freeze as soon as I hear those notifications pop up in my head. Swivelling my head around to look at my $50 chip, I notice that when I threw it at the table it slid over the square for number 2 and landed in on 0. Completely forgetting how rich the people around me are, I quickly gather my earnings from the employee and fast walk outside of the casino with a spring in my step, now understanding the pleasure of earning money.
As I walk out, I quickly glance over the notification that appeared just now and become surprised that I could gain levels through doing missions. That surprise though gets completely overshadowed when I notice that I got something called a 'Special Mission'.
Quickly opening the menu and going to the missions, what I see before me not only blinds me but also breaks my heart at the sheer price required.

"There are so many points right in front of me. Do I really have to go rob a bank as Stan said?" (Harry)
Completely lost as to what to do, I look up at the sky for answers. What I see is a skyscraper that has only a few but inspirational words on it.

With those words, a plan forms inside my brain. Involving both good timing and a lucky piece of bread from a book about a superstar.

JackTwo This chapter was interesting to make.
I've recently been reading both 'I'm Really A Superstar' and 'I have a mansion in the post-apocalyptic world' which have created some ideas in my head for plot.
I like both of the novels quite a bit so if you haven't seen them before you should try them out.
Well anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter. :)
