CHAPTER 16: LIFE GOING WELL

In the days which followed, Trinity’s life was literally the same but filled with more energy and hope.

Every morning, she opened the shop to sell her merchandise. While doing so, she would work on her books without failure. And when the daily investments report in at night, she would reinvest them in the hedge fund.

Watching her capital increase each day, Trinity, who had never thought that one day she would be able to hold so much money, was in a greater mood. How could she not when money was falling from the sky like that?

Days passed by quickly, business was going well and before she knew it, it was the 22nd of December.

When Trinity received the Tycoon system, she invested all of her funds, hoping that by this day she would be able to take out interest enough for her to send some back home, and the rest to buy holiday items for herself.

Later that night after all the chores were done, Trinity was lying on the bed with the T 001 in hand in the form of a tablet as she checked the hedge fund app to see how much interest she would be earning by the end of the day. It was that money that she needed to use in the days to come.

Capital invested: B$47,664.37

Available funds: B$0

Daily interest: 8%

Interest earned: B$0

After more than ten days of reinvesting her funds, the B$20,250 finally doubled, which was a huge relief for her. Seeing so much money, her daily interest now was around B$3,000, which was quite a lot for her.

In a month, paying the utilities, rent and groceries if she was generous as she now planned, that amount of money would be enough for her. If it was before, she wouldn’t spend like that, but now things were different. She wasn’t going to make things difficult for herself anymore.

Without taking good care of herself, how could she be alive to spend that kind of money in the future?

When the interest was reported, it would be B$3,813.15, which was more than enough of the amount she budgeted for when this all started.

With the funds confirmed, Trinity began to jot down the list of what she wanted to buy the next day. She was going to close the shop for a day to deal with personal matters, and thinking about her mother, who would be so happy when she received the money, her mood brightened up.

The first thing she did before jotting down the list was to create the money order to send B$2,000 as she planned. Once that was done, she started on the list.

Since she was going to celebrate the holidays, she needed to show her effort and spoil herself a bit. Her food was depleting, too, so she needed to fill that as well.

With so much vigor toward earning a lot of money later, Trinity dedicatedly jotted down the list while taking into account the remaining money she would have after sending her mother.

It didn’t take long before she was done. Once the list was completed, Trinity shifted her focus to the writer-editor who had been her best friend ever since she got the T 001.

In the past days, she had been busy editing the books that she had written previously and since they were short, Trinity managed to finish three books out of the five she had written so far. She only has one ongoing book which she had fortunately scheduled previously, making her a bit free to not write in the previous days.

So, Trinity spent her time uploading the editing chapters of all three books and it was time-consuming, but she believed that her hard work would be worth it.

Before logging off the novel app, she checked her statistics and was pretty much disappointed by the low figures.

However, before logging out, she posted a message on her page to inform all her readers about the edit that had happened. She just hoped that either new or old readers would see her hard work and reward her for it.

With the majority of the hard work completed, it was time for her to rest. So, after a quick wash, she retired to bed with a smile on her face.

The next morning, the alarm woke her up, and she groggily yawned as she stretched her arms while looking around.

After she came to be, Trinity did her morning chores diligently, prepared breakfast, and took a bath. After padding her empty belly, she finally found time to check the system and take a look at the money that she was looking forward to seeing.

When she checked her phone, she wasn’t surprised much when she saw the message from the bank informing her of the money which was reported.

This time, she didn’t plan to reinvest the money, so she wasn’t rash in visiting the hedge fund app for that purpose.

With the money in, Trinity hurriedly changed while humming a happy tune, and ten minutes later, she was locking the doors, ready to leave for the CBD she hadn’t been in ages.

As she left the house, she came across her neighbors whom she exchanged pleasantries with.

“Oh! Are you not going to open the shop today?”

“Hehe, I have to go out. Need to run some errands!”

“He, it’s that time of the year. I understand. Have a safe trip!”

“Thank you!”

Trinity made it out of the yard in one piece and, thankfully, without the neighbors being curious about so many things.

Since she didn’t own a car, Trinity had to walk to the bus stop where, fortunately, she found a kombi as soon as she got there.

An hour or so later, Trinity was walking in the busy CBD, which was full of life and flavor.

It’s been a very long time since she actually walked around, did some window shopping and the like. It felt refreshing and rewarding, considering how well life had been for her lately.
