⏰"Pip-pip-pip"
When his alarm went off at 5:00 a.m., Dylan jumped out of bed and started his day by stretching his muscles for several minutes before his series of exercises...
◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈
This is the tenth day of this type of activity, after receiving the first five missions from an app on his phone...
An app called: Date.
App that would help him get a date, but to get one, he needed to improve his physical, mental, and intellectual condition.
In short, Dylan needs to improve all of his character's stats, and to do so, he needs to earn points from the app called: Gold Coins to purchase these upgrades...
To earn these coins, you must perform certain actions with your Date; these actions will grant a certain amount of experience. Experience increases your level, which in turn improves your physical and intellectual state.
But Dylan is the exception to this simple dynamic, as all of his stats were below average.
Example:
For an average person, his stats are between 5 or 6. Dylan's stats are 0 due to his physical, financial, and employment situation.
According to the app, Dylan is one of the least wanted people in the city, even ranking below the homeless. Therefore, the app assigned five missions a day for 10 days.
These missions are:
1. Complete personal hygiene.
2. Perform 5 daily physical exercises of 20 repetitions each.
3. Run 1 kilometer.
4. Read for one hour.
5. Sleep 8 hours.
The missions are simple, and after 10 days, the app awards: 5 GC, a deep physical cleanse, and a 10% popularity boost, Applicable only to women.
After the app message, Dylan didn't have much to lose, so he resolved to do these five activities every day.
◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈—◈
After finishing his workout, a buzzer sounds, followed by a vibration. Dylan runs, sweating, to check his phone.
I receive a message from the app that says:
[Received: 1GC. ]
A goofy grin spreads across Dylan's face. He puts on some comfy clothes and his old sneakers to go for a 6:00 a.m. run.
Dylan grabs his phone and runs out of the house with the same goofy grin. As he passes through the living room, Dylan's mother, who was in the kitchen, heard the crazy goat's hurried footsteps. She snorted in disgust and began muttering something under her breath, barely audible.
Dylan's life is somewhat complicated, not to say pitiful. His family used to be seven, and after his father left with his secretary, only six remain.
These six members are:
(Mother) Ruth Cooper (42 years old)
(Brother) Robert Gray (26 years old)
(Sister) Valeria Gray (24 years old)
(Sister) Sofia Gray (22 years old)
(Sister) Jade Gray (20 years old)
Last, but not least, Dylan Gray (18 years old)
Dylan has been working part-time since he was 16, but two months ago he lost his job as a waiter when the restaurant closed its doors.
Dylan was careful with his spending, but his siblings' weddings, Rober and Valeria, and his sisters' tuition fees, consumed all his savings, and when these women wanted more money, Dylan was left with nothing, this upset his sisters, and they stopped speaking to him.
While his relationship with his sisters is somewhat complicated, things get worse simply because the boy resembles his father, and worse when Mrs. Ruth comes home drunk.
Dylan has to lock himself in his room to avoid conflict with his mother, who will apologize the next day until the next binge comes.
Out of work and depressed, Dylan's life was beyond miserable, creating a vicious cycle that began to consume him. In less than two months, Dylan had lost 20 kilos of his previous 60 kilos, his skin began to peel due to poor hygiene, and his anxiety flared from not sleeping well.
Thankfully, this vicious cycle was broken with a simple download of the app, which led him to try his luck to see if what they said was true or just a lie...
After running the first 500 meters down the street, Dylan turned around and headed home. Upon entering, he called the second text message and received another gold coin...
This made Dylan smile again, and he went up to his room, grabbed a towel, and went to the bathroom to perform his third mission of the day: personal hygiene...
Upon leaving the room, he went straight to the bathroom. This timing is important, because at 6:50 a.m. her sisters wake up and hog the bathroom.
And if Dylan is occupying the bathroom, the girls will force him to leave no matter how he is or what he is doing. This also applies to the kitchen, living room, patio, pool, or bathroom, for this reason time is very important.
After the shower, Dylan brushed his teeth and left the bathroom just at 6:45 and when he entered his bedroom, he heard the door open in his sister's bedroom...
After changing, combing his hair and putting on perfume, I listen to the sound of the third message and take advantage of the moment to look at the time, being 7:00 am...
Dylan grabbed the book he was reading and went downstairs to make himself breakfast before leaving home, he needed to make sure the app isn't lying...
The kitchen was empty, but Dylan only had 20 minutes to grab a quick breakfast before his sisters come down for breakfast...
In the kitchen cabinets Dylan grabs a plate. he helped himself to cereal with a little milk and ate quickly. When he finished he washed the plate and put it to dry in the sink, he left the house through the back door since the voice of his sisters began to be heard on the stairs of the second floor.
With the book in hand, Dylan walked slowly until he reached the park, looked for a good bench and sat down to read quietly.
He was so entertained with his reading that he did not notice the long-awaited fourth bell and when he realized it, two hours of reading had already passed.
Dylan closed the book and checked his cell phone by opening the application and just by opening the application menu two messages were heard...
The first message says: [ You received: 1 GC ]
The second message says ( you have collected four gold coins you can have a bank account linked to your data. With this account you can exchange gold coins for real money. )
1 GC = $100 USD.
[ You want to create your Digital Bank account. ]
Without thinking so much Dylan immediately pressed [ Yes ] several seconds later the following message arrived on the phone...
[ Digital Bank Account created current balance: $0 Dls. ]
[ You want to convert your coins to real money. ]
Dylan pressed [YES] again, immediately converted the 4 gold coins he had into real money, receiving the following message:
[ Your current balance: $400 Dls.]
[To withdraw cash you need to go to any ATM or branch of your choice, at ATMs you just need to scan your QR code and at branches your account number: 21*01745Grey]
When he finished reading the information, Dylan got up and went straight to the nearest ATM, having to leave the park and walk for about 10 minutes...
With his phone in hand, Dylan had to wait until the ATM was empty to avoid embarrassment if the QR code was a scam.
The moment the cashier was left alone, Dylan put the QR code in front of the ATM screen and as if it were magic, the screen went blank and his balance immediately appeared: $400 Dls. and under the balance a message:
( Enter the number of the cash you wish to withdraw )
Dylan immediately keyed in the number 400. The cashier immediately processed the transaction, withdrawing the $400. passing his balance back to $0 Dls.
For many people, this simple translation would be a joke, even sound ridiculous if mentioned in any conversation, but we're talking about Dylan, a young man who did personal activities and received real money for it.
Dylan kept his four hundred dollars in his pocket and went to eat a delicious hamburger to celebrate. It didn't take long to find a fast food place, he ordered two hamburgers along with some fries and a large soda for just $25 Dls. plus the tip of $10 Dls...
He returned home with only some chips and a little soda in his hands. Now the boy just needed to sleep and finish the 5 missions on the app.
Young Dylan spent the whole afternoon in a good mood cleaning his bedroom and with the remaining time in the afternoon he began to read his book.
When he finished reading, he went down to the kitchen for dinner. He found his mother and sisters watching television in the living room, but the three women simply ignored his presence, as they had done these days.
This did not depress, he was already used to this type of treatment from his family, being in the kitchen Dylan just made something light for dinner and returned to his bedroom.
Dylan was so excited that he got ready for bed at just 7:30 pm. the excitement to know what deep cleaning is or what popularity is about and if the application will give new missions.
When Dylan began to close his eyes ready to sleep, a new message arrived on his phone:
[ you want to perform your deep cleaning while you are sleeping. ]
Due to the heavy sleep Dylan just pressed [YES] every time he appeared on the screen, this was without reading or looking at what the messages or deep cleaning is about and at the moment he accepts the last question and body fell into a deep sleep.
