World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 23: Hidden Mission Objectives

The next morning, James woke up and came downstairs, to see Patty ready for work.

She was dressed in her usual office lady's attire that accentuated her curves, and brought out her beautiful figure.

"Work?" James asked curiously, as he took his seat at the dinner table.

"Yes, honey," she replied.

She saw the look on James' face and she smiled.

"I know that the company is about to close down soon but I can't just leave it yet. The company was the one that helped me when I was going through a tough time during my divorce.

They are a part of me and everyone there are like family to me. No one I'm close to have left yet, so I intend to stay," Patty said, explaining.

James nodded when he heard this. He was never planning on stopping her. He was only curious as to why she was still going to work, if the company is already closing down, and hearing what she said, made him to understand why.

'She really love her job, her colleagues and the company. I wonder if it's possible for me to buy it and stop it from going bankrupt,' James thought to himself.

'Oh, wait... I can actually do that. If I have enough money, I can acquire the company and even turn it around. Might...,' James thought to himself, again.

"Hey, why are you smiling like a creep so early in the morning,"

James' thought was broken by Leslie's voice. He raised his head to look at her and he saw that she was also dressed, ready for work.

"Who are you calling a creep? You want me to crack your skull open for you?" James asked, with a menacing, not so menacing voice and face.

"Ah! I'm so scared!" Leslie said with a mischievous smile, as she faked a shiver.

James shook his head when he saw this. He looked at Patty and saw that she was also smiling at their antics.

With a smile on their faces and a light atmosphere at the dinner table, they had their breakfast.

As they ate, James observed Patty and he noticed that her face looked brighter than it used to and her shoulder that was always looking tensed and slumped, looked relaxed. Overall, she looks comfortable, confident and very happy.

'It seems like her letting everything and pouring out her heart yesterday, relieved her greatly.' James said, with a soft smile on hie face.

***

After they were done eating breakfast and the table has been cleared of the dirty dishes, Patty stood up ready to leave. Bfore leaving, she walked to James and gave him a light peck on the cheek,band ruffled his hair.

She saw that James was very confused by her action but she only smiled, before leaving the house.

Watching Patty leave, James had no idea that his lips had already spread into wide smile.

"And there you go again, smiling like a creep," Leslie said with a mischievous smile, and bolted out of the house, before James could react.

James laughed when he saw this but he made a mental note to get back at Leslie later.

"Now, it's time to focus on even more important things," James said, as he decided to check his Info Screen.

[Mission(s): Stable Source of Income (Ongoing)*]

[System Store]

.....

James nodded in satisfaction when he saw the $70,000 sitting in the rebate-eligible funds section of his account balance.

He smiled when he saw his overall account balance for the second time, and his smile widened when he saw his new networth.

"$153,557.59. That's a lot of money." James nodded to himself.

James' eyes continued downward and when he saw his system points value at zero, he was a little disheartened. But his face brightened when he remembered the amount of system points he would be getting as reward from completing the mission.

Though the mission would take a while for him to complete, he was excited with the prospect of receiving that 2,000 System Points.

His eyes countinued downward and when it got to the mission section, he couldn't help but notice something strange. There was a asterisk symbol behind it.

"Strange," James said to himself.

He decided to view the mission details again, while focusing his attention on the asterisk symbol.

[Mission(s): Stable Source of Income.]

[Description: Have a source of income that earns you a minimum of $100,000 monthly. Increase networth to $1M. Reward(s): 2,000 SP, +5 Charisma.]

[Hidden Objective: Complete the mission within the next 90 days by earning $100,000 for two months. (Remaining: 89 Days)]

[Bonus Reward(s): 1,000 SP, +2 Intelligence.]

.....

"What?!" James exclaimed in shock, when he saw the information hidden behind the asterisk symbol.

"Earn $100,000 for two months? 90 days limit? Even more rewards?"

James couldn't believe what he just read. As if the 2,000 SP and +3 Charisma reward wasn't enough, the system would reward him 1,000 SP and +2 Intelligence in bonus rewards if he completes the mission within two months!

Naturally, this was something to be very happy about as the bonus rewards will help him greatly.

But there was a problem: the difficulty of actually completing the mission within that time period.

To get the bonus rewards, he has to earn $100,000 for two months. Not in two months but for two months. Which means that each month, he has to earn $100,000.

Ninety days. Two months of consistent six-figure income. One slip-up, and those precious rewards — a substantial amount towards the 10,000 SP he needs to unlock the system store — would vanish.

"It seems like the system doesn't want me to slack." James sighed.

But a smile bloomed on his face the following moment. Yes, the mission difficult and the hidden objective was even more difficult, but that doesn't mean he can't complete it.

If he really puts his mind to it and puts in the effort, completing the mission wouldn't be too difficult.

Besides, he was sure that the system won't give him something he can't handle.

With his mind made up, James started thinking on how he's going to complete the mission.

Naturally, there's no way that betting would be able to help him to complete the mission. The system said to have a stable source of income and betting isn't something that can be considered a source of income.

He thought of the memecoin project that will go live by the weekend. And as things stands right now, it was the only he knew that would be able to help him complete the mission.

All he wants is for it to go viral. But memecoins are unpredictable, volatile flames that burned bright and often died fast.

Could he really stake his future on that? He doesn't know what the future holds but he has to start thinking of contingencies upon contingencies.

As James continued to think of potential source of income, he remembered the smile on Patty's face when she was talking about her place of work.

James had previously thought of acquiring the company because of Patty. If saving that company would continue to keep that light in her eyes, he would find a way. No matter what the cost.

James has no idea when the company would actually close down, but he felt that it would still take a while.

"Let's check up the information on the company and also check to know why it's closing down," James said to himself.

He opened his phone's browser, typed in the URL address of the company website and clicked on the arrow button.

The company's website loaded and James started going through every information on it.
