Chapter 30: The world is mine
When they returned, Mizuto stayed in his room and finally had time to check his system.
His "Merchant" had already reached the maximum level, and he could choose the second job, which surprised him.
[Please choose your 2nd job.]
So, if he could choose a 2nd job, could he choose the 3rd job?
Nevertheless, he wasn't in a hurry to choose his 2nd job as he wanted to check all his "Merchant" skills, considering all of them had reached a maximum level. Previously, three of the skills of the "Merchant" impressed him, especially the "Identify," "Overcharge," and "Discount."
By using the "Identify" skill, he could tell all the information about anything, which saved him from many dangers and gave him as much profit as he could find important antiques in the trash.
Meanwhile, by using the "Overcharge" skill, he could get more money when he sold something. That was the case when he sold a precious antique to the shop, which gave him an extra 10% of the total selling price of the antique. Still, as this skill had reached a maximum level, he would gain 100% extra profit from all the profit he gained from his commercial activity. In other words, with this skill, no matter what he did, he would gain a double income.
Lastly, the "Discount" skill made him able to buy anything without paying anything. When he bought the groceries before, all the money was returned to his inventory, and if he wished to, he could transfer that money to his bank account in the name of an offshore company.
So what about the "Brainwash" and "Store" skills, the two remaining skills of the "Merchant"? Since he had reached the maximum level, which was Level 50, he maxed out those two skills, making him realize how frightening the abilities of the "Merchant" were.
The maximum level of the "Brainwash" was quite simple, but because it was simple, it was frightening. Using this skill, he could control anyone's mind, making them have absolute loyalty toward him. If he wished to, he could do the famous hypnosis genre that was popular among the people in this country.
Still, it wasn't fun to use such an ability, at least for now, but probably, in the future, when he encountered unpleasant things, there was no doubt this skill was definitely more useful, and someone needed to pray that they shouldn't mess around with him, or else, their endings definitely wouldn't be well.
"Let's see what's so special about the "Store" skill."
No doubt, this skill was amazing since when it was a Level 3, he was able to buy various foods from various restaurants in the world instantly without waiting.
Then, what if this skill reached a maximum level?
He could buy anything.
Yes, anything.
Whether it was talent, appearance, companies, people, loyalties, organs, extinct animals, certificates, antics, or anything that one could think of.
As long as he wished to, he could buy any of them!
This was simply mindblowing!
Still, the price was also mindblowing.
His assets were just below 20 million yen. While this amount of money might not be bad or even amazing for a young man in his first high school, this amount was nothing in the eyes of a truly powerful person.
Mizuto was in a daze and wondered what he should do for a while since there were many things that he could do to get more money. Still, he thought for a moment and checked the "Store," then found out that he could buy an account for FX trade, so there was no need to hesitate.
As expected, he instantly got an FX trading account on his laptop and its software.
While he was speechless, he was also amazed.
Frankly, if it was before, he wouldn't dare to touch the FX trade as it was basically gambling. While some said that it was an investment or something, he knew that the FX trade was nothing but a gigantic casino. It definitely wasn't a place to make money, and he should have just focused on stock trading as it was more secure.
Yet, the problem was that trade trading had a limited time as it opened at nine in the morning and then closed at three in the afternoon.
As a high school student who spent his time studying from morning to evening, how could he buy stock when the market was only open for a limited time?
While he could buy stock by using the app on his smartphone, it was definitely troublesome when he was asked by others as he didn't want others to know what he was doing.
However, the FX trade was different as it was open 24 hours, except for the weekends.
In other words, when he went home, he could use that time to make money from the FX trade.
However, could he really make money on the volatile market of the FX trade where the ups and downs couldn't be predicted?
If it were others, that might be the case, but he had the "Identify" skill, so he could predict the fluctuation of the rate, so there was no need for him to fear that he would lose money. Nevertheless, he needed to watch every movement of the rates from up to down since, in just one second, the rate might change, so he needed to put all of his focus on the screen of his laptop.
Yet, he had to say, his speed at making money was faster than robbing a bank.
During this process, he poured all of his 10 million yen into his account and then used the special feature of the FX trade, which was leveraged to make a transaction beyond his capital.
Since his account is a personal account, he can only do 25 times of leverage.
This meant he could use 250 million yen (2.5 million dollars; if 100 yen is 1 dollar) whenever he wished to make a transaction on the FX trade.
If it was someone else, they might hesitate and limit the leverage to five or ten times, but he was sure that he wouldn't lose his money, so why should he hesitate?
By then, he was like a fish on the water.
He was swimming as he wished, spending his time, making as much money as he could, and before long, his 10 million yen had become 100 million yen, but as he had the "Overcharge" skill, that amount of money became double.
He gained the amount of money that one could only get after decades of working in just a few moments.
Mizuto realized that if he wanted to retire, he could do it now.
Still, 200 million yen might be a lot for others, and for him, it should be a lot, but when he had already gotten it, he felt like his ambition grew. Before he was just satisfied if he could retire before he was 25 years old, spending his time enjoying life, but suddenly, he felt that this wasn't enough.
At least, he should control half of the world before he retires.
If it was before, someone might think that he was delusional, but now, he has that power.
He had the power to control this world, so unless he became the number one under heaven and made this world his, he wouldn't stop!
"This world is mine."
"What are you talking about?"
"...."
Mizuto glanced to his side and saw Yume poking out her head from the gap in the door.
Being stared at by him in silence, Yume felt embarrassed, and the thought of making fun of him due to his "Chuunibyou Play" stopped, but she made up her mind and said, "I-I want to borrow a book!"
"....."
Mizuto knew that he might have said this sentence many times, but his stepsister was too horny.
