Chapter 17 First Time Settlement Reward
The sudden System prompt startled Roland. His drowsy eyes became lively all of a sudden as he anticipated what kind of rewards he would get.
[Calculating the first time Settlement Rewards. First time Settlement Rewards Bonus is applied.]
According to the explanation given by the System, every three days, it would calculate his performance and reward him randomly based on it. As this was his first day, the Settlement Rewards was triggered.
Ding!
[Face-Slapped a total of 3 people in the span of six hours during the first day.
Rating: A menace. Working hard, aren't you?
Rewards+Bonus: Pure Dew Villa in Sea Anemone District (The property deed is in your crappy drawer, please take a look)
Note: Property maintenance will be handled by the System.
]
The reward this time was a villa. It was only a few moments ago that he was thinking about moving, but the next moment, the Face-Slapping System actually rewarded him with a villa? How convenient.
Roland was not familiar with villa's prices and the like. However, the Sea Anemone District was a very luxurious location. Only celebrities and rich people in Fore City reside there.
Although Fore City was just an H-Grade City according to this world's standards, this city was still fairly big and wide.

Roland took his Ay-phone 18 and searched the details of the Pure Dew Villa in the browser.
The next moment, Roland abruptly stood up when he saw the selling price of the villa.
"What the hell? 1250000 Global Dollars? The System is insane," Roland exclaimed in both surprise and delight seeing the price of the property.
The 500000 Global Dollars deposited on the VIP bank account earlier was already enough to turn his worldview upside down, how much more this million dollar worth of villa that he just obtained?
(A/N: For reference, the Global Dollar to USD conversion rate is 2$. And although 2500000 for a villa seemed cheap, please take note that the city that Roland based on at this moment is only an H-Grade City. But welp, this is how I perceived it, and if you think there's something wrong about it, feel free to comment and suggest. I am very open to suggestions. Thank you!)
Roland could not help but be concerned for the System. 'Are you sure you won't go bankrupt this way?'
However, that was only his mere thoughts. He also actually does not believe that the System would go bankrupt.
Roland saw that the Pure Dew Villa was now marked as 'sold' in the website he just visited. It seems that the website was being updated real time and the moment the System bought it, someone updated the website right away.
'Ih right, the property deed,' Roland thought as he eagerly opened the small drawer under his shabby study table.
The property deed was sealed properly including all of the paperworlds. Roland took the deed out and saw his name being the 'owner' of the house.
Roland was elated and wanted to rush there as soon as possible.
However, it was already late at night and he knew that it would be inconvenient to go there at this time.
Well, there was also another reason. He doesn't know where the Sea Anemone District was exactly located.
Anyways, Roland kept the property deed as he calmed his heated emotion. He was so excited at the thought of owning a villa that he no longer felt sleepy. He laid down on the bed, imagining lots of things that he will do once inside this villa.
In the end… morning came with Roland's eyes still wide awake. He was not able to sleep at all.
Strangely enough, he only felt a little tired and nothing else. This was probably the effect of having a stronger body after being enhanced by the Physique Enhancement Potion.
The next moment, Roland suddenly heard his Ay-phone 18 letting a notification sound. Roland curiously looked at his phone and noticed that it was Stacey.
"Good morning! ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ"
Stacey used the Dissbook messaging app this time as it was more convenient and practical than texting with his number.
Roland felt strange receiving a message early in the morning. In his two years of relationship with Anna, he had never received such a morning greeting, because apparently, Anna said that he should not bother about it as they would meet in school anyway.
"Good morning!" Roland replied with a strange smile on his face.
Roland thought for a moment before saying, "Are you available right now?"
"Yeah, I don't have work during weekends and I usually just stay at home to read novels or watch anime and dramas," She replied almost instantly.
Roland then recalled that it was now saturday. He felt fortunate as he can spare himself to see Anna and Bryan's face.
There were also two long weeks of Christmas break, so it means that he would be free from seeing their faces for two whole weeks. Roland felt relieved for some reason.
"Alright. It's like this, I wanted to visit a place but I'm not familiar with the area. Can you come with me there? I'll treat you to a meal along the way, how about it?" Roland finally decided to ask after some hesitation.
Stacey has a car so it would be convenient to bring her along. She was also knowledgeable about a lot of things so he was thinking that she might be able to help him later.
"Sure, sure, don't worry about it. Time and place?"
"8 AM. And can you pick me up where you dropped me off yesterday?" Roland thickened his face and asked.
"No problem (~_^)b," Stacey replied a moment later.
Seeing that, Roland felt relieved. Fortunately, Stacey was kind. She was even willing to accompany him to the villa.
It was only 5 AM at this moment and there was still 3 hours before the schedule. Roland stood up from the bed and drank a cup of water.
All of a sudden, Roland suddenly felt that he was missing something important.
His body felt uncomfortable as if it wanted to do something. Roland thought hard for a moment before he suddenly had an idea.
He took off his shirt as he proceeded to exercise on the wooden floor.
After 100 Push-ups and 100 Sit-ups, Roland finally felt a little satisfied. However, he felt that there was still something missing. He only thought for a moment before arriving at a conclusion. He went outside and proceeded to run 5 kilometers before returning.
His body was full of sweat as he opened the door to his room.
However, Roland felt vaguely satisfied for some reason.
Roland thought of the strange feeling earlier. He did not experience this kind of feeling before. After some thought, he associated it with the recent enhancement of his body.
His body was strengthened from the potion. However, in order to maintain it in tip-top condition, he must also watch out for his old bad habits and must continuously cultivate good habits.
He must eat healthy foods and should exercise daily to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
At least, this was how Roland perceived it. He would only be able to confirm this guess tomorrow.
Anyways, Roland has already planned to change his lifestyle anyways. Daily exercise was included on his list of goals, he just did not expect that he would be able to do it right on the first day.
After this small incident, Roland took a shower from the bathroom after seeing that no one seemed to be using it yet.
However, right after he finished taking a shower and was about to go back to his room, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from his right.
Ahhh!
