A.I.

Chawnga admired people like him. While he was in his little world again, he seem to heard the vendor and his mother exchanging words and his mother was buying the products. He quickly went beside his mother and ask her if he could do the exchanging of notes (money).

Ramtei was rather surprised but was relief to see his son trying to help her. She immediately agreed and hand her purse to him and put the task of exchanging notes to him while she will bargain. haha.

Of course she would keep an eye on him to see if he made any mistake or not. She was delighted to see his son happily helping her. What she didn't know was that Chawnga wasn't using her mother's money that was inside the purse but his own money. He secretly take out his own money while reaching into her purse. He always pay with his money.

He also secretly used the Bronze token he got from his rewards. He wanted to see how it really works. When the expenditure reaches 1000. The interface suddenly appears again.

[First Time Expenditure Exceeds 1000

Rewards : 1 x Gold token,

10,000 points

]

{Gold token : 1000 P = 1 E

Time limit = 1 day

}

[Extra Rewards : A. I. has been installed ]

He was shocked for a moment. He quickly hide it and follow his mother. He was secretly delighted. They continue on shopping and he happily helped her mother and even carry some of them. His wasn't strong enough, so he can't carry all of them. He was happy that he could spend money and get points. He even forgot that it was his birthday.

Ramtei was happy and surpriseed to see his son enjoying shopping with her. He doesn't even show a tantrum. He still doesn't chose anything for his birthday present. She doesn't even know what happen to him but she was happy seeing him like this. Maybe this was for the better. They could used the money for his school fees and uniforms and books.

After shopping, they went to restaurant which was inside the market building to eat. They had finish shopping so Chawnga has already returned her purse. They meal cost about 50 AVS even when they order a lot. But this time his mother pays the bill. Chawnga was frustrated inwardly over the lost of 500 points. But he doesn't show it on the surface.

Chawnga was calculating in his mind how much he gain and how much he would gain if he paid the bill, while eating the meal. They had spent 4050 AVS without including the meal. He still didn't check his Points because he was afraid to be seen spacing out, so he continues to eat while calculating. His mother has finished eating already and plans to buy something more which was not far from their place. She told him to wait as he was still eating and went out.

Ramtei was happy to see the change in his son behavior. So for the happy occasion and for his birthday, she secretly buy sweetbread and some sticky local rice bread while his son was busy eating his meal. She knows he likes this kind of bread. She wasn't aware of the money which wasn't used. Her mind was simple. She just loves her children and husband.

There are no birthday cakes in this time of year. So people used to celebrate with noddles and some meat with tea. Tea is a must. lol

Chawnga family consist of only 4 members. And they hardly celebrate it. So he doesn't have hope much.

After they got home, when his mother brought out his favorite bread, he was so happy that he acts like a really 8 year old kid, he even forgot that he was already 27 in his past life. His mother fried it just the way he liked it and eat happily. He couldn't contain the happiness he felt that even his tears fall. He came back to his senses quickly and secretly wipe his tears.

Even though he don't get any presents, Chawnga was very satisfied with the way it is. He had his parents who loves him very much and he also has many chances to make them proud. What could better presents be rather than his rebirth.

On Sunday, all stores are closed. So the day was well spend at home reviewing his lessons. With the help of photographic memory and understanding ability, he finish it quickly. He had learned all the subjects. He was now in the last year of his Primary School.

He suddenly remembered that he have used a Bronze token yesterday. He hurriedly check and was elated to see so much points. He also remembered the extra reward he got. He decided to check the extra reward first.

[ A. I.

(Helps and guide the host. Includes questions and answers, and manage the store. Just call out A. I. in your mind or real voice.)

]

<Wow! This must be helpful for me.>

<I don't need to look through the store myself anymore. haha >

<This is so convenient >

The store has many things to buy. So it always took him quite some time. He decided to try out the A. I. he got.

<A. I. , how many points do I have? >

[Host, you have 50,630 points ]

Chawnga was surprised to see that it can really answer. Not that it really talks, but it just display the answer.

Chawnga was elated to gain so much points in such a short time of shopping.

<What if I've gone shopping all day and buy big stuff. How much will I got. >

<This is too awesome. >

<I might be able buy something useful with the points I have >

<A. I. What do I lack? >

[ Host, you lack sense. ]

<What! what do you mean by that ?>

Chawnga was slightly angry but come back to his sense. How can he get angry with such trivial things. He had gone past more than that in his previous life. He finally calmed down.

Maybe because he doesn't said the magical word, there was no answer. He was a little relief.

<A. I. do you have any solution? >

[Store (Available Points = 50,630)

Senses = 10,000 Points

(All senses will improve.

Caution : Don't buy it if you haven't bought control)

Control = 10,000 Points

(Ability to control yourself internally and externally.)

]

<Now that's a new one. There's even caution!? >

<Oh! I have to buy control as well>

<My new helper is so thoughtful. It display right away after I asked. >

Chawnga decided to buy sense first. He doesn't buy control yet just to see what the caution thing was.

As soon as he bought it, he could hear the sound of everything within the radius of 1km, smell, and see everything clearly if not block by some object. It was truly awesome except that it was as if he was just beside them that multiple sound and smell are going inside him. He nearly couldn't take it and immediately bought control.

With control, he can manage the range or what he want to hear and smell within 1 km radius. Now he clearly know the reason why he needs to buy control first. He had learned his lesson now. He never want to suffer such things ever again. That was too awful.

The next day when he wake up, his father has already gone to his working place. He usually comes back home after a few months only.

Zawma also thought the same as Ramtei when he saw his wallet filled with so much money even at the end of the month. He was happy that he had a wife who loves him so much. He would surely repay her. He continues on his journey with a smile on his face.

After breakfast, Chawnga went to school. He reach school early.

He went to the Principal Office. Thalmuana has already arrived.

"Sir, may I come in?"

"Come in"

Thlamuana continues to work when he sees it was one of his students. But he look from time to time. He was very busy.

"Sir, let's make a deal"

"What is it?"

Thlamuana still continues to work. He doesn't take Chawnga words seriously as he was only a kid.

"If I become one of the top ten in the coming board exams, you have to fulfill my 3 wishes."

"Okay"

Thlamuana wasn't surprised at all. He thought the kid was just having great ambitions. Being in the top ten...heh.. that's harder than it looks. Even if he doesn't take it seriously, it would be great if the kid could do it. The school reputation will surely rise.

"Will you really do it?"

"Of course"

"Promise?"

<This kid is getting on my nerves. I've to relax myself. He's just a kid. Calm down>

"Okay. I promise"

"Don't you want to know what wishes I have? "

"No need. I already promised you, didn't I? So you don't have to worry. I've never break my promises "

"Thank you, Sir"

"Your Welcome"

<He finally left. What a strange kid. >

<It would be great if he could really get in the top ten. >

<A kid promises are never hard to deal with. There's nothing to worry about it>

Little did the principal know that his life is gonna change.

Chawnga was elated as he could get his first plan work.
