Tap Tycoon System! - Chapter 8

Then Nathan sat back down, as he thought that he should first finish the first mission.

Nathan looked at the mission and said, “System, is there no progress bar for my mission?”

After Nathan said that, the interface changed. Now only the first mission, which is the mission to accumulate a total of ₱10,000 from tapping.

Then below it he saw his progress on the mission.

[₱6,605/ ₱10,000]

“Hmm… I can finish this in about an hour. After I finish, I’ll go to the nearby 7/11 convenience store.” Nathan nodded as he thought of what to do.

Then he looked at the time and saw that it’s about to turn at 9 PM.

“I should finish this immediately, I don’t want to leave the house after 10 PM. Sigh… really those gangsters.” Nathan shook his head as he sighs.

Nathan learned from his neighbors who live to gossip everyday that some sort of gang is roaming around again in their place.

It was said that a few people got beaten up by the gangsters after accidentally bumping shoulders with them.

Those gangsters were very ruthless in beating those people as one even needed to go to the hospital because the bones on his feet were twisted by the villains.

Because of that, Nathan doesn’t want to go out so late that he even thought of just doing the mission tomorrow. But the excitement still got over his fear and now he will just try his best not to meet those bad guys.

Thinking of those problematic people, Nathan shook his head again before he took out his phone and started tapping on it frantically.

Nathan takes a 5 minutes break every 20 minutes to rest his fingers. He continued tapping for an hour before he finally stopped tapping.

“Phew~ finally done!”

He looked at the mission progress and saw he finished it.

[₱10,000/ ₱10,000.]

Then a line of words appeared after he checked it.

[Mission Complete! Reward is about to be distributed, please raise your hand with your palm facing upwards to your chest level.]

Nathan listened to the instruction and raised his hand.

After doing so, a white ball the size of a bead magically appeared on Nathan’s hand.

[The rewards have been distributed, please have a good night.]

Nathan looks at the bead size white ball on his palm curiously.

“Is this the beauty pill that the system rewards? It doesn’t look anything special, but since it’s from the system it surely is real, right?”

Nathan thought about it for a bit before he decided to shove it down his throat.

*Gulp*

He stayed still for a moment trying to feel any changes that the pill would bring him.

But after waiting for a minute, he did not feel anything.

“Is it a fake?”

Nathan immediately dismissed that thought because the pill is from the system, won’t the system also be fake if the rewards from it are fake then? He doesn’t want to entertain himself with such a question.

Nathan decided to just forget about it.

Then he entered the bathroom to take a piss. As he was washing his hands, he looked at the mirror and suddenly froze.

In the mirror, a man who looks the same as Nathan but just more handsome is staring back at him.

“I-is that… me?”

Nathan touched his face to feel his own face.

Nathan is not a handsome guy, if you rate his looks from before, he will only score 80, plus his skinny physique has become even lower.

But now, the man in the mirror, the reflection of Nathan, is a true handsome guy. If you just rate his looks, he could score a total of 92!

So Nathan can’t believe it, a big change happened.

He can already guess that this is because of the beauty pill that he took. Earlier he thought it was fake or something and was disappointed heavily even though he did not show it, but now, it seems that he is a little hasty in coming to that conclusion!

“I really became handsome…” muttered Nathan while looking at his face.

After he accepted the changes on his looks, Nathan lost the earlier fascination and left the bathroom.

Nathan looked at the time and saw that it’s still not 10 PM so he decided to finish his other mission.

After changing his shirt, he left the house and walked towards the convenience store.

The walk was pretty smooth as he did not meet any bothersome things on the way like those gangsters in the mouth of the gossiping neighbors of his.

*Ding Dong*

The ring sounded and the door of the 7/11 automatically opened.

Since it’s already late at night, there is no one at the convenience store beside the employee manning the cash register and Nathan who just entered.

Nathan looked around inside and thought about what to spend his money on.

He already checked before he left that he only needs to buy items worth ₱6,618 to finish his mission.

Nathan grabbed some canned foods, a lot of chips, cup noodles, soft drinks and other things that he saw looked interesting or seemed delicious.

The basket that Nathan got is now filled to the brim and some contents are even spilling from it.

So he grabbed another basket from the entrance and brought two baskets filled to the brim to the counter.

The employee at the register looks at Nathan with weird eyes.

It is indeed weird to go to a convenience store to shop a lot of things like this instead of just going to the grocery store.

Seeing the look that the employee is giving him, Nathan felt that he was a little impulsive to choose 7/11 for shopping.

But since he’s here now, then so be it.

Nathan pushes the basket for the cashier to compute the total amount of the things he bought.

After 10 minutes, the cashier looks into Nathan and said, “The total is ₱6,950.25”

Nathan then uses his phone to pay for it and puts the receipt in his pocket before he leaves the store.

The cashier looks at Nathan’s back as he left and muttered,

“Weird.”
