The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches



"Play one against me." Sierra suddenly interrupted Chris's words, throwing the whole room into pin-drop silence. 

Chris looked at her blankly, this was the first time he had heard her ever since coming into the university… and her first words were 'Play one against me'?! 

At first when Chris had met this icy bit- Sierra, ahem! He had assumed she was the typical arrogant second generation who loves to flaunt their wealth and flex. 

But, in university, she seemed like a completely different person. Yes her icy and cold nature was still present, heck it had gotten worse! However, now she seemed more reclusive. Somewhat secluded, like she was not a part of the world. 

In one word, she was detached. Or maybe lonely. 

Although Chris felt that, he had no intention to play buddy-buddy with her. He already was having trouble acting normal and dumb about the highway crash. 

"Ohh my. The princess wants to play with me. Such graciousness. " Chris looked at her, saying sarcastically, "But… how about no?" 

"..." hearing his answer, Sierra looked at him. Blinking with a tinge of shock and bewilderment in her eyes. 

"I see." however, unlike what Chris expected, she simply nodded and went back to being a porcelain icy doll. 

She neither cursed nor acted haughty as she had done at the time of the road crash… 

Everyone took a deep and silent breath, whenever Sierra spoke, the temperature and mood of the room dropped. No wonder her nickname was kept to be icy bitch. 

With a sigh, cheerful Layla again took on her job to fix the mood and turned towards Sierra. 

"Pfft why do you want to even play, Sierra? Let him be happy about a win hahaha." Layla giggled, patting Chris on his shoulders. 

A little offended by her comment, Chris glared at Layla, who giggled again after seeing the looks he was giving her. 

"Pfft, you don't know how well she plays it? Haha, don't worry. Among all of us, Lucky was the worst player, maybe now you are on Tom's level." Layla giggled. 

"He on my level? Hell nah." Tom- the guy that was glared away by Lucky and Chris- laughed loudly. 

"..." Chris blinked in wonder… why was he feeling more and more pissed after hearing their words? 

And more importantly why the hell were they saying such things with a straight face like they were just stating facts?! 

"Sigh, anyways. Let's watch some movies!" Estea laughed and pulled Chris's hands, leading him towards the sofa and seating him down in the center. 

"Horror!"

"Heh. You? Horror? Sorry, we aren't in the mood to hear your screams right now."

"W-What?! I don't scream! I am not afraid of ghosts! They aren't real!"

… 

"Aaah!" Layla screamed, burying her face in Chris's shoulders as she peeked slightly between her fingers. 

"I-Is the ghost gone yet…?" Layla squealed softly, still peeking at the big TV screen that was showing a scary ghost film.

"Yep. Gone." Chris smiled and patted her head as she opened her eyes again to continue watching the story, her hands still clutching Chris's shirt as she excitedly looked towards the screen. 

However, before she can even look properly at the screen. A loud whoosh echoed in the room, and an ugly ghastly beast nearly jumped out of the TV. 

Its ugly grotesque face filled the ultra HD TV screen, its mouth wide open as it screeched at the MC of the film or rather, at the viewers. 

"AHHH!" Layla shouted and jumped from her seat. Her scared screams filled the room as she hid her face in Chris's shoulders. 

"Hahahahaha!" 

"Layla why aren't you watching the movie, hahaha" Estea giggled playfully, poking Layla's scared face. 

"I HATE YOU ALL BASTARDS!" Layla screamed while swinging her hands wildly in anger. 

"Didn't you want to watch this film the most?" Chris laughed. 

"I do!" adamant about her choice in films, Layla pouted and peeked shyly to see that the ugly ghost was gone. Slowly pulling away from Chris's shirt and looking back at the TV. 

Laughing, the rest also focused back on the TV as Chris also looked at the screen. 

However unlike them who were busy looking at the TV screen, he was looking at his system screen. 

Since defeating Lucky in the match had successfully completed Chris's sudden mission. But now that it was finished and it was time to select the reward… Chris was stumped. 

The rewards this time were really important and kind of a necessity. All of the examples were must-haves for Chris. 

But alas… he can select just one. There were many more options like Engineering, doctors, medical knowledge, and even rocket science. 

However, Chris felt they were unnecessary. He who wanted to be a businessman and had the support of money making system, had no apparent use of these specialization. 

In the end, he filtered the skills he felt were must-haves. 

Driving. 

Martial Arts.

Business Management. 

Noble behavior. 

Sexual Education… 

And… Royal Butler. 

The last one was more of based on a hunch and insider feelings. 

Chris had once read a book where the butler- a royal butler, used to serve a very rich but lazy master. 

The master was very lazy, always handing the tasks to his servants and just lazing around in his room or playing with his many concubines. 

His butler, however, was a very handsome, young, and talented man. He was widely respected all around the house and treated with much more devotion than the master. 

Jealous, the master began to throw every task on the young butler. 

He fired the chauffeur and made him drive. 

He gave nearly impossible contracts and deals to the butler for him to take care of.

He had the butler fight for life against the seasoned fighters. 

And many more impossible challenges. 

However. The butler never gave up. He always managed to get out of the challenges victorious. 

His respect was fearsome. His talent was simply godly. His handsome body was as if personally sculpted by a god. 

He was what can be labeled as a perfect man. 

However… he had one, just one weakness. He was loyal. A little too loyal. 

He felt indebted for life to the master's family who had taken him in and made him into such a talented being. 

Therefore… even when asked to take the death penalty for a heinous crime on his own head, the butler didn't reject the master. 

And sacrificed his own life for his master's crimes… 

Shaking his own head and throwing away the depressingly stupid story away from his mind, Chris looked back at one of the options… the Royal Butler… 

Although the story he just remembered had the name of Royal Butler, Chris felt it was simply dumb to base his theory on that little similarity. 

Royal Butlers can also mean the butlers who used to exist in the ancient and royal era. 

Chris sighed… there were a lot of fucking risks. He can simply choose Driving or Business for the short-term goals. 

But… what if the royal butler was The Royal Butler? Chris can not only gain one but many important and perfected skills at once! 

'Tsk. What a shame that bastard was a pussy.' Chris sighed deeply, regretting the fact that The Royal Butler wasn't interested in indulging in the otherwordly pleasures of a woman. 

That idiot just had intercourse with a woman once, that too when his master had given him a maid as a reward for completing a nearly impossible task. 

'So… risk or no risk…' Chris squinted his eyebrows with a sigh. Focusing back on the system window. 

"Oh my~ Look at our Chris, so serious at such a scene~" suddenly, Chris was pulled out of the dreamland and he blinked looking at the TV first. 

'Uh oh…' Chris's eyebrows twitched after seeing that currently, the movie was playing a passionate R-18 scene! 

Now the teasing words of Estea made much more sense to him… 

"..." Chris sighed, no longer can whatever he says to save him from getting mocked so… "Indeed. I was just learning." he winked playfully, smiling at her with a faint smirk. 

"Pfft, I expected better, handsome guy." Tom slapped his own knees and laughed loudly. 

"Well… sorry to disappoint?" Chris looked at him with a blink and then tilted his head slightly, answering sarcastically. 

"Bwahahahahhaa!" Layla laughed, pointing and poking her empty wine bottle at Tom as she laughed uncontrollably.

"Jeez just play it." Chris acted like he was really interested in the scene, however, currently he just wanted to dive back into his system and choose his reward already. 

"Heh. Let this poor guy learn~" a random girl giggled. 

"Hm~ Should I teach him a little better?" another girl giggled playfully, giving a good look at Chris's focused face. 

"Geez you are thirsty." 

"I am not! I just want to teach him!"

"Ah, the sexy teacher roleplay, sounds hot."

"Just shut up."

However, while the rest were bickering and making jokes, no one noticed one cold piercing gaze on Chris's wide back…
