Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Potential Workers
After a few seconds of standing in front of the Koi pond and admiring it, Silas let out a sigh and walked back to the living room.

He choose a random sofa and took his seat, before taking the document of the second building he got and started reading through it.

Few minutes later, Silas was done reading the document and he couldn’t help but smile.

The apartment building he got which is the 26-Unit building, is a building located in a good area and each apartment’s rent is $175,000.

This means that he would get a total of $4.5 million every month from the building, and a total of $54.6 million every year. To top it all, all the apartment has already been rented.

If this is not enough to make him smile, then what is?

Silas didn’t even need to read the car’s papers to get an idea of how expensive they are, and there’s no need to emphasize on how expensive they are.

Of course, it’s the famous Buggati and Koenigsegg. They are bound to be expensive.

Silas couldn’t believe it. How did he go from someone that was worth literally nothing to someone that now has a luxurious villa, an apartment building that racks in millions and very expensive luxury sportsl cars?

Growing up, he had such dreams. He wanted to be successful, have a peaceful life, travel around the world, see what it has to offer.

Something he shares in common with almost every youth out there. If not all of them, but after graduating from high school, he found out that achieving his dreams was harder than he thought.

Life and society was unforgiving, and being a fresher to it didn’t make it any easier.

He got himself a job and started working with the hope that one day he would be able to achieve his dreams, but life dealt him a hard blow by giving him a reality check.

Silas was unable to cope, losing all hopes and this was in addition to his non-existent confidence. He gave up on everything and turned into a zombie, a person who does nothing but work and work without rest.

All these changed in seventy-four hours after he got the system.

“It feels to good to be true and too real to be a dream. This is definitely happening,” Silas said, looking at the ceiling with a complicated expression on his face, “My dream life is no longer out of reach.”

Silas was still reminiscing about his life when his stomach let out a growl, breaking him out of his reverie.

“I better get myself something to eat,” He said and stood up from the sofa, before picking the car key belonging to the Koenigsegg, and made his way to the garage.

Due to the fact that he was in a hurry to get to the villa, Silas left before anyone woke up and he didn’t eat breakfast before leaving.

Walking into the garage, Silas saw two black cars parked at the far end of the garage. Silas walked towards the two cars that looks extremely beautiful under the garage’s lighting.

Silas took a few seconds to admire the two beauties, before opening the door of the Koenigsegg and got in.

Inside the car, Silas ran his hands on the steering wheel before gripping it tightly and pressing the ignition button.

Immediately, the engine of the car roared to life and Silas nodded his head in satisfaction before steering it out of the garage and into the street of Newport.

….

In front of a restaurant, a black Koenigsegg with gold strips parked in front of it and a young man came down from it.

The sight of the car attracted the attention of people around and the driver attracted even more attention.

Though luxury sport cars are not rare in the USA, but a car such as Agera RS is not something an ordinary person can afford.

In fact, it’s a car that one would not be able to buy even if you have the money, same as the Bugatti La Vouiture Nora and it’s also safe to say that, not everyone knows that there’s a brand called Koenigseg.

Silas didn’t pay attention to crowd slowly gathering around the car, or the girls slowly approaching him as he walked into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, Silas walked towards a table and took his seat before calling for the waitress, who quickly came to attend to him.

“Good afternoon sir.”

“Good afternoon, please get me anything to eat. I’m fine with anything as long as it palatable, and please, make it quick.”

“Yes sir. Please wait for a few minutes, I will get your food ready.”

“Thank you.”

While he waited for his food, Silas turned his attention to outside the restaurant, where a small crowd were now gathering around his car and taking pictures of it.

He could also see some girls stealthy taking pictures of him and smiling. Some were not even discreet about it and were winking at him, while blowing him kisses.

Silas was lucky that he has the skill, [Mental Balance], a passive skill, or else, he didn’t know how he would react to the girls’ actions.

Silas could even guess what some of the girls were thinking and he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He didn’t have to wait long before he saw the waitress walking towards the table with a tray filled with plates in her hand.

She got to his table and placed the plates on it, “Today’s special, sir. Enjoy,” She said and left Silas to eat his food.

“Thank you,” Silas said and started eating. Silas never knew how hungry he was until the first spoonful entered his mouth, and he felt like a person who finally found water in the middle of the desert.

It took him only a few minutes to finish his food and he even ordered for more, which he also finished in a few minutes.

After he was done eating, Silas brought out his phone to check the time.

*2:37 PM*

“I just had the first food of the day by two in the afternoon. No wonder I was so hungry,” Silas said to himself after checking the time.

Silas was about to stand up and go pay his bills when he heard a conversation between a girl and the waitress.

“Ughh… It’s so hard to get a job, and getting a good one that pays well is even harder.”

“I’m guessing the interviews you went for today is a bust.” Silas heard the waitress say.

“Tsk. Don’t mention it. That first one I went to, one old pervy bastard who’s the owner of the store was just leering at me and looking at me in a weird way, with drools dropping from his mouth. I had to run from there.

The second was okay. The owner was a lady but the pay is too low for the amount of hours she wants me to put in. Just like my old job.

The third was the same thing as the first, only more subtle but I couldn’t mistake that burning fire in his eyes,” The girl said, explaining to the waitress how her job hunting went.

The waitress heard this laughed, “I really envy you girl, with your ability to attract men everywhere you go.”

“You want a fight.”

Silas couldn’t help but look towards the girl who was talking, and he saw the reason why men were drooling at her.

Her look and shape, ten over ten. A type of look worthy of the title school or campus belle. The only thing she’s lacking is the temperament.

Hearing the girls conversation made Silas realize something, he needs someone to take care of the villa.

It’s not a place where he can take care of by himself and he also needs someone to do the cooking for him. Not that he doesn’t know how to cook, but he’s too lazy to do so.

“She’s looking for a job. I wonder if she will agree to take the job?.”

With that thought in mind, Silas walked towards the counter where the girls were.
