But just as he was about to start tapping, a sound from the system caught his attention.
Nathan called out the system interface and saw something at the mission section of the screen.
[Mission: Reach level 5 by tomorrow.
Deadline: 24 hours
Reward: Shop Unlocked, Appraisal(Skill)]
Seeing the new mission and the reward, Nathan felt ecstatic!
"Looks like I can finally see what's in this shop section after I finish this mission!"
Nathan has been curious of what the shop on the system would be selling, that is why, he can't help but be happy after seeing it will finally be unlocked.
There is also that appraisal (skill) which will just make you more and more expectant.
"I did not expect that the system also gives skills. I just don't know how good this appraisal skill is though."
Because of that, Nathan, who was already motivated before, started getting more and more excited!
"I should stop wasting time now, every minute hundreds of money is getting wasted!"
Immediately, Nathan started tapping on his phone like a madman.
But after tapping for a minute, Nathan noticed something that shocked him.
He was actually tapping more than twice as fast as he previously did.
Now he can actually tap 5 times per second. That is 300 taps per minute.
Then that means he can now earn ₱1,200 per minute!
"How did this happen!?" Nathan exclaimed in shock.
Nathan immediately stops tapping to think about it for a second.
"Hmm… what could have been the cause of this…"
This is not a small thing for Nathan, that is why he really started thinking about it seriously.
As he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lighted up!
"Could this be because of the pill that I took last night!?"
The more Nathan thought about it, the more he was sure that his thoughts were correct.
"When I took that pill last night, I did not expect for it to have this kind of effect on me."
At this moment, Nathan was glad that he did finish his quest last night.
Even though he encountered something unpleasant along the way, at least now he knows he really benefited a lot!
The body pill from last night has improved Nathan's overall capabilities overnight!
"With this, my goal of half a million pesos will be achieved faster!"
Earlier, Nathan had set half a million as his goal for today, so that he will know when to stop tapping.
"Now, I should seriously start making money now. But before that, first, I should check out the reward from last night."
Last night, while confronting the two thugs, Nathan got a sudden choice mission which he completed.
But because he was too tired last night, he did not have the energy to even stay up when he got home from the convenience store.
Now that he remembered it, he wants to take a look at it before anything else.
Nathan opened the system and tapped on the completed mission section.
There he saw the mission from last night, and clicked on the 'Use Reward' button below it.
Nathan immediately noticed the sudden change that occurred on the Tap Per Profit on the system.
It doubled his tap per profit, that means more money!
Nathan's eyes widened in surprise. But after another careful look, he calmed down.
Because, on the Tap Per Profit section, he also saw (×2 1:00:00).
Seeing that, Nathan said, "So this item has a duration, huh."
The timer shows that he has ×2 of multiplied profit for a duration on an hour.
But after thinking about it, he thought it was reasonable so he just stopped thinking of it.
"Well, this is not bad actually."
Then as he looked at the ticking counter of that duration, Nathan hurriedly started tapping on his phone like crazy.
+₱8
+₱8
+₱8
+₱8
+₱8
….
5 PM
Just like that, the day passed by without any surprises.
Since it's already 5 PM, the orange glow from the setting sun blanketed the city in it's warm light.
At the same time, Nathan watches the sunset with a smile on his face.
"It's been a while since I got the time to go out and take a walk like this…"
The wind brush passes him, messing his hair up.
Right now, Nathan is at a park near his house to relax his head.
Nathan took a look at the screen of his phone, and his smile can't help but become wider.
That is because Nathan is looking at the number on his bank account.
₱504,000
That means half a million pesos.
Nathan achieved his goal of 500,000 earlier this afternoon.
It took quite a bit of time for him to get it because he took a lot of rest in between since his arms became numb after continuous tapping without pause.
Once he finished tapping earlier, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the ₱500,000 and was excited for a while.
It might not seem like a big amount to some people, but at least for him, it is something to be grateful for.
In this lifetime, or even in his previous one, Nathan was never able to save up this amount of money.
Because all of his money is usually used to pay the bills, the food, school tuition of both of him and Natalie. So in the end, it was all spent after he got it on his pay day.
But now, he can finally have this balance in his bank. And all of it was just in the span of 1 day.
"This is just the beginning!"
Nathan clenched his fist as his face showed a bit of ambition.
"I will be able to get the life that people can only dream about in no time."
"Tomorrow will be the time we will leave the rotten house that we're living in. We will finally be living in a better condition." Said Nathan with glowing eyes.
Nathan remained at the park for a bit of time, before deciding to leave when the time became 5:30 PM.
