Gifts

Late August, 2013

Brian had finally managed to earn $1000. It took almost 3 weeks while working multiple hours. In these days, he had still attended some classes so as to not worry his parents at home.

Andrea had confessed that the site was for her when they were talking about the designs. She wanted it as a personal blog and post some sketches and stuff. Brian felt bad taking her $200 but anything for unlocking the level one.

"System Upgrade."

<Conditions met>

<Rebooting>

<System Store Unlocked>

<Newbie Reward - 

- Random Product Production Line Blueprints

- One 1st Level Robot

- Good Luck Potion

"Hello, system?"

System is still muted. Not sure if I like it this way. What is the product. How do I redeem it. 

Brian was inside his dorm room. 

He thought about it and could feel a space in air in 3 black balls. 

I should not redeem the production line here. It will probably be bigger than the room. Let's check the blueprints.

The black ball suddenly materialised and transformed into a little workbook with words and figures which couldn't be understood.

Another scam. This Blue Print is useless without the robot.

Brian unlocked the robot and a man in worker clothes appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Master."

"What's your name. Aren't you a robot but why do you look completely normal."

"I am Alchemy life product from a higher civilization. We are exactly like humans except for the fact that we can work non stop and just need food to recharge. I was called #T366620"

Brian passed the notebook to the Robot.

"Can you read this? I got it from the system just like you."

"Are you entering the textile industry, Boss? This is a pillows blueprint."

Wasn't it supposed to be something magical. How will I get rich with pillows.

"Is it a normal pillow?"

"It a very common product of our times. It is a sleeping pillow. Anyone using this pillow can fall asleep in 5 minutes. It uses psychic waves to make the person using it fall asleep quicker."

"Psychic waves? What's that. Do you know about where you are."

"Yes, master. I have gotten the basic information of this world from your memories which were injected into me. Psychic waves use mental energy. It is not possible for people without a magic heart to use them."

"Can you make these pillows from the blueprints"

"No. I can't make the last piece of the blueprint which requires advanced physics. I was just an ordinary worker boss." 

"I have a production line, can you control that or we will both be starving soon."

"I can operate the production line, master. You don't have to worry about it."

"What about your identity here?"

"It's all been sorted by the system, boss." Robot handed him a set of documents. 

Brian was shocked to see the licenses. Heavy machinery, US passport, driving licencse, gun licencse.

"Are you strong? You don't look very strong."

"Boss, you don't have to worry about my safety. Conventional weapons can't even damage my outer shell."

"I am worried about myself, not you."

"Oh, Boss you should buy the elementary gene potion when you have the money. You can faster than the faster human being after that."

"I already had one."

"That was a gene repair potion boss. Gene repair removes possibilities of diseases. It the gene potion which awakens the genes to evolve."

"Alright."

System Store. 

Bruce said in his mind after closing his eyes.

Sex dolls, Super Condoms, GreenHatDetector Jewellery, What are all these degenerate items. There aren't that expensive though. Where is the elementary gene potion. It's 100k. This will be for later then.

"That is for later. What all do you need to make sleeping pillows. You have an identity here right. Rob onn, this name is convenient. "

"I need a large open space to put that production line, about 4 times the size of this room. The materials required are steel, rubber and cotton or any other outer coating material."

"Do we have to make our own pillows? We can't afford so much. Can't we just add the technology to existing pillows."

"That can be done. I wouldn't recommend it though. It wouldn't be sturdy enough and only half of the production line will be used."

"Can we pack the production line if we want to move later?"

"System rewards can be easily collected back to he system space. Even I can come back inside you if you want."

Come inside me. Convenient. Noooo. Teased by a bot.

"I don't have any money. Do you have any ideas."

"Can't we just grab it? I am pretty strong according to your memories."

Brian was scared asking this guy anymore.

"What are your skills?" 

"I can assemble products, maintain machines and protect the machinery."

I am not even 18 yet. I can't even get a loan sanctioned. Doesn't this guy have an identity.

"I will call you One from now on. One, don't you have an identity, you can get a loan sanctioned from the bank. We can start with it."

"But I have nothing to mortgage."

This is a headache. Should I ask mom and dad. 

This bot is a liability at this point. Why didn't I get a bot which could code. It seems I can only do that. Roulette at Vegas. With the bot, I should be safe as well and with the good luck potion, I can win.

Still doesn't solve the problem of initial investment. I still something big enough to bet make it worth it. 

I can sell this laptop on Craigslist. It was bought for 900$. It should be able to sell for above 500. 

I can start working off-campus and get multiple jobs for this bot as well. 

Never would the bot imagine that he would be flipping burgers in the future.
