Meeting Sugar Mommy(1)

"Have a good day, son!" the taxi driver waved once before driving off.

Lex found himself standing in front of a Wacdonalds outlet with a confused expression. 

It turned out that all of the world now worked on the same currency called Earth coins, E-coins, or coins for short.

All of the currency had been turned digital and paper money no longer existed. 

'I have been transmigrated to the future! Perhaps flying cars are no longer a mere dream now.' Lex thought positively.

Unfortunately, he was in student debt right now which would keep increasing by fifty percent every month. 

F*ck banks!

"So the owner of the house is a widow," Lex muttered. "That still doesn't explain why the old man looked so tense."

Lex currently couldn't make any payments due to his debt. He simply decided to sit on the bench outside the restaurant and plan out his future.

'Elfie, repeat the same thing you told me in the taxi.'

[ By spending some time with the old man, you managed to unlock just a small amount of your ability. Physical contact, especially that with women, will hasten the process of unlocking your ability. ]

'Is there any specific condition added there?'

[ No, but if the women are beautiful, that's a plus point. I have to live up to my name of being a harem system. ]

'Didn't you say you were not a system…'

[ Priorities change. Just go and get that damn job. ]

Lex didn't ask any other questions. He stared at the sky with a lost expression. In the past twenty-four hours, his life took a complete turn.

'I can still go back or go meet my soon-to-be sugar momma…'

Both options had their own pros and cons. Choosing one currently could potentially mean that the other option would vanish.

'Ah f*ck it! If I can't even unlock some cool powers, what is the point of coming here? I'll basically be living the same life except in a worse society.'

Lex decided to take his chances with the sugar mommy plan. He started heading north at a steady speed while blocking any doubts arising in his mind.

The further he traveled, the less populated the area got. 

Lex soon found himself gazing at luxurious mansions that screamed "I am rich and I am not afraid to show it!"

Traversing further down the street, Lex arrived at the address that was saved on his phone.

Compared to the other mansions in the area, the one in front of him seemed a bit dull. A few cracks were present here and there and the material looked worn out.

Regardless, it was still a mansion which meant that the person living inside it was rich.

'You got this. Go in there and talk to her normally. If that doesn't work, get on her feet and beg her to take you in. Not only will that make her feel pity towards me, but I will also come in physical contact with a person.'

Steeling his nerves, Lex decided to enter the mansion. It was then that he ran into a problem.

The gates were closed and no human was present in the area.

'Unless these are some high level technology.' Narrowing his eyes, Lex touched the huge black doors blocking him from getting a sugar mommy.

The metal felt cool yet it didn't bulge. Lex tried pulling on the doors, pushing on them, shaking on them and was even tempted to lick on them to see whether they had any security mechanism.

Fortunately, he managed to hold himself back, meaning that the gates were still shut closed.

Lex was about to climb the gates and trespass to the other side when all of a sudden, the gates started moving.

They opened on the inside, producing a strange sound. It felt like the gates had not opened up for quite some time.

'Why does it feel like I am moving into a horror movie shooting?' Lex frowned but having no backup plan, he moved inside.

The doors immediately closed up, that too with a loud bang. Perhaps he was now the side character in Conjuring four…

'If I don't pick up any phone calls, don't explore too much, and run at the first strange sound I hear, I should be safe.'

After confirming his plan, Lex walked up to the main door of the entrance and rang the bell. The sound produced felt as if someone struck two pieces of metal together.

'Am I being filmed?' Lex questioned, clutching at his heart as he thought about it.

He stood on the porch for a few minutes yet nothing happened.

'One more minute and I get the hell out of here.' 

Lex started counting the seconds in his mind but he didn't need to do so. The doors creaked open, replicating the style of those in old movies.

Lex stepped inside nervously, his eyes scanning the interior of the mansion. The insides were even more dull and many objects had gathered a ton of dust.

A rug mat was spread on the entire floor while a chandelier hung from the top. Lex was surprised to see someone using a chandelier after the invention of ceiling and wall lights.

'Wait, it can be a modern chandelier.' 

Since he was debating on something completely unrelated, Lex didn't notice the pair of eyes looking at him from the second floor.

But in his defense, Lex hadn't even seen the stairs and the second floor.

"Hmm, why are you here?"

A sweet and soothing voice came from the above. Lex lifted his head and located the source of voice at the top of the second floor.

Someone was leaning against the railing, someone who was clearly a female. Unfortunately, the mansion didn't have enough natural light to clearly show her figure. The poorly lit surroundings also added to the problem.

"I am here for the job offer." Lex replied calmly, or at least he thought so. His body was suddenly shivering so some of the words might have sounded a bit weird…

"You mean the job offer I posted a year ago?" the voice asked in an amused tone.

…

Lex immediately opened his phone and took notice of the date for the first time. It was dated back almost a year ago.

"Is the job position still open?" Lex asked hopefully.

'I never knew I was such a good actor. Maybe entering the p*rn industry wasn't that bad of an idea. Well, too late for that.'

"The position never got filled so I guess its still open." The woman sighed. "Sit on the sofa. I will come and take your interview."

Lex eagerly sat on the comfortable sofa and waited for the woman to get down.

Perhaps with some convincing, he would get his sugar mommy in a few minutes…
