Chapter 3 System upgrade, get 1 school district room!
After swiping the card again, a beep sounded in Alex's mind.
[Ding! System upgrade, LV3!]
[LV3 reward: $0.70 for every breath; $0.70 for every second of sleep; $0.70 for every step. Rewards arrive at 24:00 every day.]
[Upgrade consumption amount: $37,800/$140,000 (Giving to others, gambling, etc. are not included. In addition, all items obtained from the system are prohibited from trading).]
This time the system upgraded, and the money obtained was 5 times more than that of LV1!
In other words, Alex can now earn $42,000 to $56,000 every day!
At the same time, a red envelope appeared on Alex's phone screen.
[Ding! Spend $32,200 and get 23 red envelopes. Do you want to open all of them?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Congratulations, you got $28.00.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you got $2,642.32.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you got the skill "Violence Aesthetics." Greatly enhances your physique, reflexes, agility, fighting skills, and more. It gives you the combat power of one against a hundred, powerful and violent, showcasing the true nature of men. Even fights are fun to watch.]
...
[Ding! Congratulations, you got the skill "Drinking Gentleman." When drinking, a thousand cups do not spill; gentlemanly, elegant, and knowledgeable about all things wine. Even in drinking, you possess endless charm.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you got $466.62.]
From the 23 red envelopes, a total of $26,951.90 was obtained.
Regarding money, Alex had no interest in it.
He focused on the skills "Aesthetics of Violence" and "Drinking Gentleman."
One against one hundred?
Not spilling a thousand cups?
Alex felt invigorated.
In a good mood, he drove back to his rental house.
That night, early in the morning, a text message alerted Alex's phone.
"China Merchants Bank reminds you to deposit $29,890.00 at 00:00."
At 12:00 noon the next day, another red envelope popped up on Alex's phone.
"Ding! Congratulations, you got $2.66."
"Ding! Congratulations, you got $419.86."
...
"Ding! Congratulations, you got $2,799.86."
"Ding! Congratulations, you got the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile watch."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a house in Wanjia Washington."
When Alex opened the red envelope and arrived at this point, he was slightly stunned.
Washington?
Isn't that the best and most expensive school district housing in New York?
I heard... the price is already $7,140 per flat.
One house?
This moment of daze made the time hit 12:01.
The red envelope just disappeared.
Alex slowly raised his head, doubts filling his mind.
When he did, he was stunned again.
Because there were numerous real estate certificates and two sets of keys in front of him.
Alex opened the first real estate license.
It was written on it: Building A, 101, with an area of 103 square meters, owned by Alex.
Then, he opened the second book: Building A, 102, with an area of 104 square meters, owned by Alex.
Then, he hurriedly opened the third book: Building A, 103, with an area of 89 square meters, owned by Alex.
...
There are 33 floors in a building with 4 houses on each floor!
There are 132 suites, all of which belong to Alex!
The total value of these houses has reached hundreds of millions of dollars!
Alex couldn't help but put his hands in his pockets, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but he accidentally pulled out a stylish Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile watch.
He looked at the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile in his hand and then at the real estate certificates in front of him; the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Then, Alex found a bag, put all the property certificates and keys inside, and strode downstairs.
At that moment, the landlady, Sophie Wang, happened to be downstairs, holding her mobile phone and seeming to want to make a call.
When she saw Alex, a smile appeared on her face as she said, "Xiao Alex, did you not go to work today?"
While speaking, Sophie couldn't help but glance at Alex quietly.
For some reason, she felt that Alex seemed a little different today.
Especially the clothes he was wearing; she felt she had seen them somewhere.
"Yes." Alex replied plainly.
He hated this landlord very much, especially her tendency to add water and electricity bills indiscriminately. Moreover, she often cut off the water and electricity.
Before Alex got the system, he had already planned to move out when the contract expired.
If not for some of his personal belongings in the rental house, he would have left.
Last night, Alex was ready to stop coming.
Seeing that he was leaving, Sophie ignored his differences and said hurriedly, "It's great that you don't go to work today! My toilet is clogged, and I can't fix it. Go and clear it up for me."
Her tone was not a request at all but an order.
Alex raised his brows and said, "I won't do it."
After speaking, he walked straight ahead.
Sophie didn't expect Alex to reject her and was stunned for a moment.
After that, her heart filled with anger, and she grabbed Alex's arm, saying, "What do you mean you can't do it? Don't you guys who didn't go to college do this kind of thing?"
Alex's face sank as he said, "Let go!"
However, Sophie did not let go at all.
Alex's face turned slightly cold, and he threw her off hard.
"Crash!"
This action was too forceful, causing him to accidentally drop the real estate certificates and keys from his bag.
Sophie looked at him with contempt, "You haven't even gone to university, and you still think you're a real estate agent? Can you even introduce a house?"
Sophie didn't think these houses belonged to Alex at all.
Every month, because of charging dozens of extra water and electricity bills, she had to ask the poor, penniless tenants for money. How many houses could they possibly own?
How could it be!?
The only explanation was that Alex worked in a real estate agency, and these real estate certificates and keys belonged to the agency.
Alex didn't bother to talk to Sophie at all. After picking up the property deed and keys, he strode toward the Lamborghini parked in front of him.
He opened the door and sat down, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
At that moment, Jack, dragging his fat body, walked downstairs slowly, complaining, "Mom, when will the person who unclogs the toilet arrive? I'm about to be smoked to death!"
The next moment, Jack squinted his eyes, and his eyes widened in excitement as he exclaimed, "Fuck! A Lamborghini! Someone in our community actually drives a Lamborghini! That's awesome!"
While talking, Jack hurriedly took out his mobile phone and snapped several pictures of the Lamborghini that was about to disappear from sight.
Seeing Jack so excited, Sophie said, "Jack, do you like that car? When you find a job, Mom will buy you one!"
In her opinion, a car that even Alex could afford was definitely not a good car.
Jack replied, "Buy that car? Mom, do you know how much it costs?"
"How much is a car? $28,000?" Sophie said.
A few years ago, Sophie's family had an old house demolished and received nearly $420,000 from it.
Taking out $28,000 for her son didn't make her feel too distressed.
"$28,000? No, it's not even close! That's a Lamborghini, a supercar! It costs almost $1.4 million in China!" Jack said.
"What?" Sophie yelled, her mouth forming an "O" shape.
$1.4 million?
Even if she sold everything she owned, she wouldn't be able to gather that much money.
At that moment, Sophie suddenly remembered why Alex's clothes looked so familiar.
A few days ago, when shopping at KM mall, Jack liked that suit very much.
However, Sophie had seen the suit cost tens of thousands of yuan and dragged her son out of the store.
Suddenly, Sophie had a terrible thought.
Could those houses actually belong to him?
Thinking of this, Sophie couldn't help but take a breath.
...
At this time, Alex had already arrived at Wanjia Washington.
He took out the key and opened several suites, finding that each house was completely furnished and equipped with all appliances, ready for immediate occupancy.
Then, Alex took the bag again and went to a nearby real estate agency.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" said the salesman wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Alex replied, "I have a house in Washington, and I want you to help me rent it out. By the way, is your manager here? I think it's better for your manager to come out and assist me with my business."
"I have always been in charge of the rental and sale of Washington. You can just give me the house."
