Lukas then went ahead and jogged for 2 hours straight, he was sweating profusely, but there was a smile on his face. He was smiling while walking towards his room, although he was tired, he felt refreshed.
After reaching his room, he locked it properly, then sat down on the bed, and then from his mind, he opened the system. Lukas always believes that even walls have ears, so he doesn't trust those walls.
A cyan-colored panel appeared in front of him, which even now to him felt unreal and magical. Lukas, although, was very confident this thing wouldn't go anywhere, but he didn't want his life to revolve around a magical device, which just as it came magically, would one day disappear magically as well.
[Mission Completed. Grade: S, jogged for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Reward: $10000]
Ten fucking thousand dollars? Am I dreaming or something?
Lukas just looked at the floating cash in front of him, which was wrapped with a paper, which is basically the tax information, and was shocked again, although he was prepared for this, but ten thousand dollars was something else when it floated in front of you.
Lukas grabbed the money, and just like last time, it became real, and this time it was a full stack of hundred-dollar bills.
With this, Father won't have to get a loan from that guy, but how will I explain the situation back home? The bank won't ask questions when I show them this pay stub, but Father and Mother won't be convinced seeing the pay stub.
Lukas, while thinking this, didn't waste time and went to take a shower, after showering he wore something normal as his new pair of clothes were dirt and he needs to take them to laundry.
Lukas then put the money into the clothing rack under lots of clothes, as it was too much money to take it with him, he was also new to the college, so taking this much money is risky.
Lukas then packed his bags, which were some notes and a book that he wanted to study for the semester, and locking the door, left towards the dining hall. As he was walking towards the dining hall, he was still on the second floor when he suddenly saw from the window many people gathered in a corner of the building downstairs. Lukas stopped and looked at them through the window.
"There's a fight between first years and second years, it's about some girl. " A boy nearly Lukas's age stood beside Lukas and said.
"Well, they are kind of immature, " Lukas said, then smiled at the foolishness of youth.
"Well, the girl is just that beautiful, you're a first year? " The boy asked with a smile and stretched out his hand for a shake.
"Lukas Martin. " Lukas didn't shy away and shook the hand, if this was the previous him, he would think about making friends, but now he wants to be polite and diplomatic as much as he can because you never know who is going to be what, like even small job holders have their uses.
"Sam Willsmith " The boy introduced himself too with a smile on his face, and then both of them didn't loiter around much and walked into the dining space. After eating together, they went to the class.
"So you're an economics student as well? Well, let's sit together here." Sam was very friendly with Lukas and was very interested in how Lukas talked about life.
The class started at sharp 9. The first class for Lukas was boring because he had already finished this chapter, and there was nothing for him to understand. Then he looked around and saw many people were just as bored with the class.
Ivy League students are different indeed, they've studied this chapter just like me. No wonder they were all elites back then.
Lukas thought this thought professor would just go away after classes were finished, but he stayed back and removed all the contents from the chalkboard.
"All right, those who have already studied this chapter must feel this class was boring, so how about we take a test on this chapter to see what we are capable of? Those who have already studied this chapter, please be seated, and those who are new to this chapter may leave. " The bald teacher smilingly said.
Lukas, who wanted to correct himself if his self-study was wrong, stayed back with ten other students. His past self could never guess such people exist.
Lukas then took the test, and surprisingly, he got the second best, and Sam, who he thought was just a dumb kid, got the highest score.
"Bro, you're a genius, " Sam laughingly said. Lukas just rolled his eyes, then went to the professor to learn from his mistakes.
Lukas now was focusing more on learning from his mistakes because life gave him another chance, and in this life, the decisions have to be the correct ones.
After classes the first year, he got some time to roam around the college to do club activities, and Lukas didn't want such things, so he wanted to go to his room and study even if the system didn't give him any money for it.
As Lukas was putting down his bag into his room and was about to change into something like pajamas to get comfortable, he heard a notification sound in his head.
[Ding!! Mission: Go to the baseball club and pitch one time. Minimum Reward: $5000]
Damn, minimum reward five thousand? If it was one or two thousand, I would have ignored it, but a minimum of five thousand?
Lukas then locked the room very carefully as it has ten thousand dollars and went towards the Bill Clarke Field, which was their official playground.
Lukas was not very tall, but he was tall enough to play any sport. He was five feet ten inches, which he felt quite average in the college.
It took him ten minutes of walking to get there, and the field was packed because lots of new boys wanted to try out for the baseball team.
"You want to participate in the club entrance exam? " A nerdy-looking boy came in, he looked tired but asked Lukas anyway.
