Looking at the shining pieces of crystals littered on the floor, Gorn quickly turned on his laptop.

"Let's see...The price for energy crystals on the market is..."

After a quick search, Gorn found his answer.

"One hundred grams is worth a thousand dollars."

Glancing again at the crystals, he immediately looked for something to measure the weight.

In but a few minutes everything was solved.

"Each piece weighs exactly half a kilogram. That multiplied by eight is four kilograms. If we convert that to money then..."

Gorn took a step back.

"Forty thousand dollars?!"

That plus the four thousand he got for the dungeon excavation mission, his new wealth amounted to a staggering forty four thousand dollars.

"I'm rich, I'm fucking rich!"

After a couple of moments, he calmed down.

"Rich my ass, more correctly I'm not filthy poor anymore."

For a nobody like him, that amount of money could be earned only by working for years, but it wasn't a fortune if you thought well about it.
Gorn glanced around his apartment. All of a sudden it seemed lackluster and old.

"I...I don't want to stay here anymore."

The next thing to do was to check out a new place. Star city had a multitude of places, ranging from cheap to very expensive, so it wasn't very hard to find what you wanted.

After an entire hour of indulging himself in various possibilities, Gorn finally found something.

"One thousand dollars per month, and a contract of minimum twelve months."

The apartment was situated close to the center of the city and was part of a building recently built. The place was specially constructed for renting or buying homes. The surrounding was carefully selected, and all the details were meticulously taken into consideration.

"What a beautiful place..."

The cost was more than acceptable for the conditions it provided. The reason was simple, the building complex was only recently finished, and the prices were purposefully lowered to attract clients.

"The building is surrounded by walls, and only residents can enter. The inside of the complex is like a park with various places to relax. Hell, it even has weekly activities for their residents such as a night club, a full gym, and other shit."

Taking another look at his room was enough to make a decision.

"Ha, about time I moved."

For a commission, Gorn sold the crystals through a third party. This way he avoided any troubles. It was easier than one would imagine.
The items were carefully wrapped in some fabric to avoid being spotted and handed to a mail office with a specific address on them. Now it was time to wait for the money to arrive.

Feeling tired Gorn went to sleep. After all, he had a very busy day. Soon, the night was replaced by a brand new day. The first thing to do upon waking up was to check his mail.

As expected, he received a wrapped package. Taking a knife Gorn opened the box. Inside were thirty-nine thousand dollars in cash. The commission was one thousand dollars, but it was well worth it.

"The 'Safe' company is truly worthy of its reputation."

Seeing so much money made Gorn feel extremely good.

"This is only the beginning..."

His ambition has skyrocketed. He was now eager to jump and play the game non-stop. But before that, some changes needed to be made. First of all, he wanted to change places.

Taking his normal phone he made a call. With a few words, he arranged for a meeting. Now it was time to pack up, pay for his current rent, and leave.

With a bit of work, Gorn sorted all his stuff in some plastic bags.

"This..."

He carefully looked through them, but there was nothing like the old phone. On second thought he took all his luggage and threw it in the trash bin.

"I don't need these things..."

Depositing all his cash in his inventory as well as his laptop, and the old phone, Gorn left his 'home'. He didn't even look back.
"It's almost noon, I'm starving."

For the first time in a very long time, he decided to go to a decent restaurant. Taking a bus Gorn got closer to the center of the city.

"From this place, I should manage to get to the appointed meeting in half an hour at most."

Humming a song Gorn walked on the streets looking left and right for a restaurant.

"I don't remember being to this area of the city."

Being all the time at work, and having only enough money to survive, it was only natural he didn't have time for city exploration. Seeing something new was a pleasure at this point.

All of a sudden Gorn stopped in the middle of the street. In front of him was none other than Socar, his former work partner.

"You...little shit!" said Socar while running towards him.

Gorn was a little startled by the sudden encounter.

"Why have you stopped coming to work all of a sudden?!" yelled Socar upon arriving in front of him.

He looked very pissed, and annoyed.

"I had my circumstances." The response was simple, for he had no desire to have a long conversation.

"Circumstances?! What kind of circumstances?!"

Looking at his face was rather annoying.

"That's personal stuff. I have some things to do so excuse me." With those words, Gorn proceeded to walk past Socar.

However, he was stopped.

"Since when did you talk to me like that kid?"

Having a firm grip on Gorn's arm, Socar was determined to not let matters go.Gorn tried to endure it, his heart was beating very fast. Even though his face was rather cool, he was scared and angry at the same time. Socar was like a bully to him most of the time, so these feelings were rather natural.

"Since now you fuck!"

In the next moment his right fist connected with Socar's face. The twelve points in strength made for quite the impact, sending the enemy straight to the ground. What followed was a fury of leg hits and punches.

"Eat this trash!"

The attack was very unexpected, not to speak that Socar was just a normal human.

"Stop it!"

One of the passersby's stopped Gorn. The overflowing emotions calmed down. Humming another song Gorn relaxed while departing under the various gazes of the people around.

"Oh, that feels refreshing."

After a short walk, Gorn entered a normal restaurant and enjoyed delicious food and drinks.

"That hit the spot. Now, let's go see my new home, and let the gaming begin!"
