Getting A System In A Modern World

Inside President Odetta's office.

"Mr Silas, it's nice to see you. What brings you to my–?" President Odetta had her words stuck in her mouth as her eyes widened in shock when she saw the unknown, yet familiar person that walked into her office.

"Mr Silas?," She asked, trying to confirm that her eyes weren't playing some tricks on her, but the smile and nod she got from Silas told her otherwise.

She couldn't believe it. How long has it been for him to change so much? What type of plastic surgery did he go through to achieve such transcendent appearance? Also, who's the surgeon that's to be credited for this beautiful art of work?

President Odetta remembered the first time she saw Silas and just how below average he looked, one might eveb say repulsive but his appearance improved before their second meeting and again, before their third meeting and their fourth.

Though the changes in his appearance in their three previous meetings gave her a surprise but it wasn't to this level. What's she feeling right as she's looking at Silas is like it's someone entirely that's sitting in front of her.

Actually, when Silas initially walked into her office, she thought that an unknown person barges into her office without her secretary informing her. She was about to get angry at the person but because she received a call from Silas prior to his arrival and the fact that she believes in her secretary's work ethic, she controlled herself properly.

President Odetta was still getting over the shock of the changes in Silas' appearance when she heard another shocking statement from him.

"I will be dropping out," Silas replied.

"M-Mr Silas, what do you mean? Why are you dropping out? Is anything the matter" President Odetta asked, in surprise.

President Odetta was genuinely surprised by what what Silas said. She didn't understand why Silas would suddenly want to drop out of the university, neither could she think of a reason.

Though she was surprised, she expected it as she had thought of the possibilities.

President Odetta also noticed that Silas' appearance wasn't the only thing that changed about him but she also noticed that the aura around him has changed drastically.

Instead of the naive and gullible aura around him, he now has a calm, confident, and an aura of someone who has complete control over everything.

"President Odetta, it's something personal. Though I will be dropping out, I will still make the donations.

Actually, I intend to make it in bulk immediately," Silas said and paused, before continuing, "I have already made the calculations. Due to me choosing engineering courses, a five years course in the institution, which is a total of sixty months.

According to our deal, I will make a total donation of $11 million monthly, which will bring the total of everything to $627 million and that's excluding the previous three months donations that has been made."

President Odetta who had already reverted to her usual self, looked at Silas intently for a brief moment.

Honestly, she felt disappointed when Silas said that he wanted to drop out. She was partially disappointed because she thought that his decision to drop out meant that there will be no more donations for them, but what Silas said afterwards dissipated that part of that feeling of disappointment.

"Mr Silas, are you sure about this," She asked.

She wants to make sure that Silas isn't making a decision that he would regret later, something she actually doubted.

Silas heard what President Odetta said and nodded. He knew that there was no more reason for him to still continue his charade with Stanford University.

The actual reason he did his best to gain admission into the institution was because of the mission he received from the system.

Though the Silas of then actually had dream of furthering his education, but that dream was before he got the system.

After he got the system, he still had that dream but after being thrown around by the system and life, his thoughts on his education weren't as focused as they were before.

The breaking point for him was when he came to his first class after he absorbed all the knowledge and information sent to him by LUNAR, and found it to be extremely easy and pointless.

"Yes, I'm sure," Silas said, and nodded.

"Ok then, but is there anything else you want me to do for you?" President Odetta asked.

"No. I will make the transfer before the end of the day. Should I send it to the regular account?"Silas asked, as he stood up from his seat, with the intention to leave.

"Yes, you can send it there," President Odetta replied, and rested her back on the chair she was sitting on.

Silas nodded and left the office. After he left the office, he told LUNAR to make the transfer and that concludes the end of his deal with Stanford University.

'Now, the next to do is to take a trip to Venezuela but before that, I will har to take care of things at home,' Silas said to himself, as he walked out of the building and to his car.

When he got to his car, Silas immediately got in and drove off.

Back at President Odetta's office, President Odetta looked at the ceiling, with a strange smile on her face.

She didn't know why but she felt like she has lost something very important immediately after Silas walked out of the door.

President Odetta thought of the first time she met the naive-looking and extremely gullible Silas in a hotel's restaurant, for a meeting.

She was surprised and skeptical when he told her of his proposal. She found it very hard to believe that someone so young would be able to fork out a massive amount of $11 million just for the chance to get into the university.

It was just like yesterday but who knew that the boy she called naive and gullible would be able to pay not just the $11 million monthly payment, but an even astronomical amount of $627 million.

Totaling the amount that Silas has donated to the institution in just in his short three months of gaining admission into the institution, it would be $660 million!

President Odetta let out a chuckle when she thought of this.

"I hope we meet again someday in the future," She said with a smile.

*****

After leaving Stanford University, Silas wanted to visit the new house that he got from the system as rebate reward, and check it out but he decided against it due its distance.

The new mansion is located at Bel Air, Los Angeles, and it would take him almost six hours to get there from his current location.

Also, calculating the time to get there and come back home to be twelve hours, Silas knew that he would have to scrap his plan of going there as he has already promised to pick Alex up from school.

With nowhere else to go, Silas made his way back home.

*****

Silas walked into the house and slouched comfortably on the sofa. He didn't want to laze around the house but he didn't have anything he to do at the moment, neither does have anywhere to go.

"Since, I don't have anything to do. I can use the free time to figure out my plans and detail them out," Silas said to himself.

He kicked his brain into fifth gear and started organizing his plans.

Silas' plans at the moment looks very messy and centralized on one place, as everything is planned around using Venezuela as his base.

At the moment, Venezuela is under clean up by LUNAR and Mr Yusmairobis, and Silas is expecting good news from them soon but he felt that he can't wait around any longer.

He decided to take action himself. This is the reason he wants to go to Venezuela immediately after they have moved to the new house.

Also, about his business, Silas only plan to release the gacha game at the end of the month, which is in two weeks time.

About releasing ELLA as an AI chatbot? That plan has been scrapped. The initial reason why Silas wanted to quickly release ELLA then, was because he was in need of system points for his plans, but the need is urgent anymore. Also, Silas' initial plan was made poorly and Sila intends to rectify that soon.

Silas' intial plan for deciding to base all his business in Venezuela was because of paranoia he had about his world, but the reason has changed.

The reason he plans to base all his business in Venezuela is because with him successfully gaining control of the country, he would get a country with a population of almost 29.4 million people. That's 29.4 million potential users and buyers!

After sorting out his plans, Silas spent the rest of the day playing games until it was time to pick up Alex from school.

The rest of the day went by until it was night and time to sleep.

Before going to bed, Silas was told by Kim that she would check out the house during the weekend.

*****

The next day, Silas decided to visit the mansion, La Fin, at Bel Air.

A black Camaro pulled up at the gate of an extremely luxurious-looking mega-mansion, and a young man stepped out of the car.

"Wow!! Like what the fuck got into someone's head to build something as grand as this?!" Silas asked himself in shock.

He has been calling the building a mansion before but now that he has seen with his own eyes, he felt that the word was too much of an insult to it.

"I haven't gone inside and I'm already mesmerized, how much more shock will I receive if I go inside?" Silas asked himself with a smile, and walked to the locked gate of the building.

At the gate, Silas placed his finger on a scanner beside it. The next moment, he heard a clicking sound coming from the it, indicating that it has been unlocked.

With a dazed smile, Silas watched the gate open up by itself, allowing him to drive in.
