Chapter 5 The Investment
'Hmm, seems like crypto investment is a nice but risky method.' Chris thought while surfing the internet, he knew that crypto-trading was a double edged sword, but still, it was one of the fastest methods out there.
The risk was huge, but so was the return. With WealthTap System at his disposal, Chris decided to take the leap of faith and invest in Crypto.
Of course he is not going to Eeny-meeny-miny-moe and invest in a random crypto, he was going to learn atleast a little bit basics about investing.
He finished his breakfast and laid on the couch, still watching the videos and making mental notes about every important piece of info he came across. He learnt about the most famous cryptos, found some good investing sites, figured out to read the graph...and many more.
He went at it for a few more hours and then took a short break. Now feeling a bit more alive, He decided to open the WealthTap App.
Opening the Auto-clicker alongside, he inserted the same old settings of 5 seconds duration. This time with no apparent hesitation in his mind, he relaxed his body and hit START.
The waves of exhaustion washed over him again. However, this time unfazed, He extended his hand and picked a chilled lemonade he prepared beforehand. He enjoyed its contents in a few small sips and sighed in pleasure as the sweet and sour flavor of it assaulted his taste buds.
Feeling refreshed after a satisfying drink, He then began to eat some fruits left in the refrigerator. After successfully emptying the stocks and filing his stomach to the brim, He checked the hologram floating in front of him.

'Should I upgrade again..?' Chris thought, confused.
Why was he confused, why not just level up? Well, that was due to his 10,000$ debt and its deadline being the night of today! Chris was thinking that maybe he should save the EM instead of using it to level up.
'Screw it! I am gonna level up! It will give me 300EM more profit every 5 seconds I start my auto-clicker.' Chris scratched his head and finally decided, clicking on the bright <Upgrade?> button.
[ EM- 595/4000 Level-4: 2.5 EM/Tap ]
'Sigh...It's just 1 PM right now, I still have time...' Seeing the amount left, Chris sighed and tried to motivate himself.
"Well, anyways. Time to invest." Chris chuckled softly while cracking his fingers and flashing a cool pose.
... Few Moments Later
On a mobile screen laden with small scratches and cracks, an app was opened, it showed a graph that updated ever so often erratically.
Figuring out its next location was like a toss of a coin, either going up or down, Exactly figuring out its next move was nigh impossible.
Chris sat with the smartphone in his hand, staring blankly at the mischievous graph. He blinked and the graph that was rising steadily suddenly began falling sharply! But as soon as the young man could get used to the fall, it became rising yet again!
'F*ck...' Chris cursed in his mind, sighing at his past few hours ago Chris who thought Crypto was a good idea.
No, it wasn't! The real deal wasn't as easy as it seemed in the videos!
After learning that crypto known as 'Bitnote' was the most trendy and famous right now, Chris innocently began to follow its graph to figure out when he should invest. But the outcome of that was obvious, He figured out sh*t.
Lying on the couch and lazing around the whole day, Chris began feeling that being a Shut-in he frowned upon wasn't actually that bad. He doesn't need to go out, listen to his grumpy shop owner, no need to work. Just rest and relax all day long...Feels awesome...
But of course, how could it be a shut-in life without taunts?
"Brother, you took a leave to laze around the whole day?" Cassie stared at the lying Chris and asked "If you have nothing to do then help me with homework."
"Who said I have nothing to do? I am working, Shoo." Chris kept looking at his phone and gestured for her to get lost, unimpressed by her proposition.
"Hmm, How about I ask sister if she deems you working or not?"
"How about I ask her if she deems you absent from school or not?" Chris imitated her threat, looking at her with a smirk.
"..." Cassie kept staring at him with no replies until "Truce. I will do my HW myself, hmph." She said with a humph and strolled back into her room.
"Hahaha..." Chris laughed heartedly at his sister's cute behavior.
Everyone in the house knew that unless when Chris was serious, Cathy was The Scariest member of the family. That's why Cassie also had to keep her holiday secret from Cathy.
'Ohh, It's going down steadily!' Chris noticed the graph which was suddenly falling steeply. This time he kept a tab on the amount intently as it fell and fell until it became steady at nearly 23,000$. Checking the average price of Bitnote, Chris found it's usually stagnant at nearly 29-30k $.
Taking it as a good opportunity, Chris invested his 7,400$ balance into the Bitnote.
'Now we wait.' Chris smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment over his investment. And to celebrate it more, he opened the WealthTap App yet again and turned on the Auto-Clicker.

'Hungry again.' Chris grinned seeing the new EM balance and opened the refrigerator, only to get shocked to find nothing in it!
There was no canned food, drinks, fruits, or anything left in it! Except for the small bottles of various cooking ingredients, Nothing was left in the kitchen either!
Well, what did he expect? Chris and Cathy, due to their financial position, couldn't afford to stockpile too much food at once and thus bought it on a daily basis instead of a monthly basis. Also, Chris was naturally eating much more food than usual due to his body requesting refuels every time he drains his energy with the TapEarn App.
Chris checked out the time and it was currently 3:30 PM. Thinking it wasn't a bad idea to go for a stroll, He withdrew all his current EM into his Bank balance and called, "Cass, I am going out for a bit."
