Chapter 94 [Bonus ]Requirements For The System Upgrade
"Hello Mr Jack, I hope you've received the message about the money that I sent over?"
Jack nodded his head. But when he remembered that Calvin couldn't see him, he replied, "Yes I have received it. Have you taken your share?"
Jack wasn't sure how much the buildings, the cars and all the other things were worth. Although he could use the ones that the system had rewarded him with to calculate, he didn't have the time to do something insignificant as that.
"Yes, I have already taken my share according to the agreement. Ten percent, not a single dollar more." Jack nodded and at the same time, he didn't doubt anything that Calvin had said.
But even if his thoughts were wrong, he didn't care if Calvin took a few million dollars from the money that he was supposed to give to Jack. In any case, Jack had already gotten the benefits from the mansions and the villa. So, at this moment, he didn't care about them.
The reason as to why he was selling them was simply because he didn't want to have so many useless assets.
After chatting for a little while longer, Jack finally ended the call. He had received $412,364,700. This was after Calvin took over the three houses, villa, cars and other things like the laptops and so on.
It was also at this moment that Jack remembered that he didn't have a house in venture city. But after thinking for a moment, he thought that it wasn't necessary to have a house here anyway as he won't be staying here for a long time.
He shook his head and walked out of the private box and headed back to the suite. He found that Denali had already left. He assumed that she had gone to do shopping for all that she deemed necessary.
In any case, Jack didn't mind that, as currently, there was something that he wanted to deal with. It was the issue concerning upgrading the system.
He had postponed this issue since the previous day and he thought that this would be a good time for him to look into it. He sat on his bed and asked, 'What's up with this upgrade to level two? Does that mean that the system is only at level one?'
[You got it right. Currently, the system is at level 1. You have to complete some things so that it can be upgraded. The first requirement would be that you must have five hundred billion dollars in your account.]
The first condition was something that Jack believed that he could achieve after some time. Although he could no longer earn that much from betting, he could still make investments. As long as he received five billion, he would be able to get the five hundred billion once the multiplier effect was applied.
[Second, you must have at least five companies that are worth at least five hundred billion each. Furthermore, you'll have to defeat at least five competitors of the five companies and make these five companies monopolies.]
Jack frowned for a moment. For him to take over five companies that had a net worth of at least five hundred billion wasn't something that could easily be dealt with in a short time. But, it wasn't impossible considering that currently, he already had Good Vision Security Limited that was worth at least $300B.
Although it would take a long time, he was sure that he would succeed. As for making them monopolies in the industry in the country, that was something that he could do with the advantage that he was having currently.
Now that this was a condition that had to be fulfilled, he decided that he would simply integrate the companies into Jackson Enterprise after he made them monopolies.
[The final condition is that you must have a girlfriend.]
Jack: "…."
What's up with the system now? What's wrong with its program? Maybe there's a bug that made it say this as a condition for upgrading it? Jack questioned himself doubtfully before finally asking, 'Can you please repeat the last condition that must be fulfilled?'
[The host, Jackson Alfonso must have a girlfriend.]
Jack was left speechless once again. There was not a problem with the previous prompt? What the heck with this absurd condition of him having a girlfriend for the system to be upgraded? Wasn't him not having a girlfriend have no effect to the system? How come it now mentioned this as a condition?
Jack took a deep breath and asked, 'Angel, can the system be a little serious here? We're talking about serious matters but here, the system is joking.'
[The system isn't joking at all. That is a condition that you'll have to fulfill before the system can be upgraded. In other words, unless all the conditions that have been stated are fulfilled, there will be no way that the system will be upgraded.]
Jack took a deep breath as he tried to think of a reason as to why the system would set such a condition. The business and the balance he could understand because the system had its influence in them.
Now, the girlfriend, if he wasn't wrong, she was supposed to be his own, not the system's. Furthermore, He wasn't going to tell anyone about the system.
Or the system wanted to give him a green hat by marrying his girlfriend? This seemed to be the case as otherwise, why would it request for such a thing. But, thinking that the system was just a program, how could it marry a human.
But, it had the power to bring someone from all over wherever Denali was from, maybe, could it be that it would turn his girlfriend into a program and marry her? With the system's power to manipulate other's minds, it won't be hard for it to make his girlfriend believe that she loved the system more than she did him.
Why would there be comparisons? The system would simply erase her memories about him from her mind and the problem would get solved, right?
As Jack's thoughts continued running wild, Angel couldn't stand it anymore. Angel could know what Jack was thinking and as a result, it could get all the strange ideas and thoughts that were running in his mind at that time.
[Can you stop having that kind of imagination? The reason for that being a condition for the upgrade of the system is simply due to the new feature of the system that can affect those close to you. At level 2, it can affect your other half. At level three, it can affect the other members of your family; your parents and siblings.]
'Eh, it seems that I was right. It will affect my girlfriend by changing her memories and making her its. I thought that that was all. It turns out that it will also try having a family of its own by taking my family to its side….'
It wasn't that Jack's IQ was low. It was just that, when the system that came out of the blue planet suddenly brings up the conditions that you need to fulfill and no matter how you think, the condition doesn't seem to be related to the system at all, one had to be cautious.
[….]
Angel was silent for a moment, maybe due to how ridiculous Jack's thoughts became. Perhaps it wondered what happened to Jack who was normal not long ago to suddenly become retarded. It was only after a moment that it spoke.
[You can decide on whether to do that or not. It's your choice at the end of the day. The system will not force you to upgrade it.]
It was only when Jack heard these words that his speculations stopped. He remembered that if the system really wanted, it could have easily made him do whatever it wanted. It had the power to control and manipulate other's memories.
As long as it changed his memories and made him think that it was his mission to serve the system, there was nothing that it couldn't do through him.
After calming down, Jack decided to put this matter aside for now. He would think about that once he'd finished the other two conditions. On the other hand, things concerning a girlfriend was something that reminded him of the envelope that his mother had left him a few years ago.
She had told him to only open it if he wanted to have a family of his own, a girlfriend. He wasn't sure what was inside the envelope but from the weight and size, he could guess that there were a few documents inside. As for what was recorded inside them, he had no idea.
Now that this issue was out of the way, Jack decided to deal with another matter. 'System, can I get the reward I got yesterday?'
[It is inside a drawer of the cabinet that is beside your bed.]
Jack: "…."
Can't you just make it appear in front of me? Jack complained in his heart but still, he went to the drawer of the cabinet that was beside his bed and opened it. He found that there were several A4 papers that were pinned together.
He took them out and observed them. The words and font of the words on the papers looked no different from the ones that were printed from the printing machines that he knew.
He read it and found that indeed just as it was to he expected, there was the procedure of making the pill, the instruments and ingredients. Everything was well described in such a way that Jack could even try imagining how the process would be like.
After reading through it all, he knew that he would have to wait for Brightway Medical Research Centre to be bought over before he could start trying the production of the pill.
Denali will have to use her special skill to identify those that could be trusted in the institute. And only those that were selected by her would have the task of production of the pills handed to them.
As for whether the production would be successful, he had no doubt about what the system had offered. There was no need for him to do so as he had already experienced the power of the system.
Jack was just about to do something else when there was a knock at the door. He could already tell that it wasn't Denali because she didn't need to knock to enter. So, he left the bedroom and headed towards the door.
When he opened it, he found that Wendy was the one that had knocked. He was curious about what she wanted. "Yes?"
