Money Management.

Lukas reached his dorm, the first thing he did was eat the food, he was famished after that pitching round, then went to the bathroom and took a shower.

After taking a shower, he came back in a pajama and sat in his bed, then opened the system interface once again, the stack full of cash was floating in front of him, and Lukas decided to collect the cash.

The full stack of ten thousand dollars was nice to hold, he had never actually held a full stack of one hundred before today, now he held it twice in one day.

There was also half more stack in his hand, then a pay stub was given as well, he looked at the $15000 receipt and smiled.

Then he put his money on the clothing rack again with his other ten thousand dollars and hid it with clothes.

So I have two thousand in the bank and twenty-five here in my room, twenty-seven thousand dollars. I need something like a hundred thousand to open up a decent advertising agency, let's work hard.

Lukas, before regressing, was a small officer in an advertisement agency, and that was his peak time, he earned three thousand dollars a month and helped out his family sometimes.

He was an account coordinator in the agency, so he knows how an advertisement agency should work, maybe he knows very little, but he was not going to invest in a business that he knows nothing about.

[Ding!! Mission: Study for one hour. Minimum Reward: $1000]

When Lukas was wasting time while thinking about what he should do next, he suddenly got a popup in front of him. Seeing the popup, Lukas smiled broadly, and then, throwing his towel on the clothing rack, he started studying hard.

Today he learned a lot in the class, so he was thrilled to know more about this subject. He studied for far more than one hour once again.

[Mission Completed. Grade: A, studied for 3 hours and 35 minutes. Reward: $3000]

Fuck, I need a watch too. If I had known earlier, I would have studied for four hours straight.

Lukas, after completing some tasks from the system, can tell a little that the system always rewards him with how much time or effort he has put into completing the task, so he wanted a watch to calculate the time and to know more about the system.

Maybe a phone would solve many issues for me. If this system didn't give me money, I would have to struggle hard.

Lukas, thinking about how he should utilize his current funds, went downstairs to eat his dinner. The dining hall was bustling with people, Lukas didn't care about that, he just took his plate, piled up some food, and left towards his room.

As he was walking back, Sam from earlier came with a smile towards him. Lukas didn't ignore him and listened to what he had to say. Sam gave Lukas some tips on the latest chapter in the book and also congratulated him for performing great in the baseball field.

"You were there as well?" Lukas asked, Why doesn't Sam look like a sporty person at all?"

"No, look at everyone present, they are looking at you. Everyone knows what you did but is afraid of approaching the rising star," Sam said with a little chuckle.

Lukas then looked around, and people were really staring at him weirdly.

"Heh, what rising star? I am going to my room, see you at class tomorrow. Lukas said this left, he was hungry and wanted to sleep as early as possible because sleep is a very important thing in life.

The next day, Lukas woke up and went on to jogging, but this time he did not get any notification pop-ups from his system, so although he was a little disappointed, it didn't demotivate him. He jogged for an hour and a half, and as he was thinking of returning to his room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

[Ding!! Mission: Do twenty squats. Minimum Reward: $4000]

Alright, this is new and came with a fantastic reward. Can I say no to money?

Lukas immediately started doing squats right there, as there were not that many students in the morning. Lukas wakes up at five in the morning, so it's around seven, and class was at nine.

[Mission Completed. Grade: A, You've done fifty-three squats. Reward: $10000]

I clearly did sixty squats, bro!!

Lukas yelled in his mind, he realized the system doesn't count half ones, Then calmly walked towards his dorm room. After reaching the room, he locked it, and the first thing he did after entering the room was to receive the money, and then he added yesterday's cash, and the total amount in his hand now was $38,000, and the bank has $2,000.

"Alright, I can't leave this much money in this room, I guess I'll be a little late today in class." Lukas, saying this, went to the bathroom, and after taking a shower, he put everything like pay stubs and then left towards the bank.

He took a campus shuttle, so he was early, then decided to eat something from the nearby food cart, which was selling hot dogs only for 1 dollar.

At sharp nine the bank opened, and Lukas was the first customer they received, as Lukas was also in a little rush because his class also starts at nine in the morning.

Lukas deposited the whole amount, and they were looking at him with suspicion, but when he showed them the pay stub, they naturally had no qualms about his money.

Then Lukas received his debit card and a cash book. The debit card has a daily limit of $500, and the cash book doesn't have any, and he could withdraw his total funds if he wants to.

Lukas left the bank and went to the nearest building, which has a billboard named Merrill Lynch.

Merrill Lynch is a brokerage firm, and Lukas wanted to invest in some stocks today and miss the first class, although he was interested in studying, but he won't be getting a deal like today in some decades at least, or ever.

Entering the brokerage firm, he was greeted with corporate employees. Then Lukas went down to business and opened an account with them, as the firm was very reputable for handling premium customers.

It took him about one hour to open an account, and Lukas sat there the whole time to invest in a company right then because it might jump up at any moment, he was watching the stock prices on a big LED, and everyone else was not even bothering with it mostly.

Lukas was seated in front of a person who was stamping Lukas's papers, and she was smiling at Lukas from time to time.

Lukas didn't care about that, he just stared at the LED intently with a smile on his face.

"Alright, sir, Your papers are fully verified, and your thirty-five thousand dollar check is confirmed with the bank, so which stock do you want to buy?" The lady in the suit asked politely to Lukas.

"There's a company called Amazon. I want one thousand of its shares, it's $35 each, right?" Lukas asked with a smile. Just today, Amazon's price dropped from $50 to $35 without any reason at all.
