Second Shot at Life

Chapter 7: The Plan for Wealth



After finally collecting his thoughts, Jay decided he needed to use his new abilities to research all the companies, stocks, and cryptocurrencies that had taken off in recent years. Excitement bubbled within him as he thought about how rich he could become and how his future would change. With his photographic memory, he could remember everything perfectly.

However, a worry clouded his excitement. How would he convince his parents about his findings in the dream world? He would still be a kid, and who believes in a child's words?

As he pondered this dilemma, a thought struck him. He decided to ask the System.

Jay: "System, when I go to sleep, will I wake up where I left off in the dream world, or will the day change?"

The System, ever smug and mysterious, gave a sly smile.

System (smirking): "Who knows, Jay. It can be a different year too."

Jay was left puzzled, but his curiosity pushed him to ask more questions.

Jay: "So, I can go to the dream world as long as I go to sleep anytime, right?"

The System laughed, adding to the mystery.

System (laughing): "Who knows maybe its all a dream?"

Feeling confused but still determined, Jay resolved to change his life. He would start by researching all the critical information about companies and investments, storing it in his perfect memory. Despite the uncertainties, he was committed to finding a way to convince his parents and secure a prosperous future.

Jay (thinking): "I can't let these doubts stop me. I have to make the most of this opportunity."

With a new plan in mind, Jay felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He began to research popular companies and cryptocurrencies, noting down key dates and events that led to their success. He memorized the rise of giants like Appl*, Googl*, and Bitcoi*, storing every detail in his mind.

As he researched, his imagination began to run wild, and he started daydreaming about his future. He pictured himself as a successful entrepreneur, driving luxury cars, living in a lavish mansion, and traveling the world. The possibilities seemed endless.

Jay (daydreaming): "I'll invest in the right stocks and cryptocurrencies, become a millionaire, and my parents won't have to worry about money anymore. I'll take care of everything."

The System, always ready to bring Jay back to reality, interjected with a mocking tone.

System (teasing): "Slow down, Jay. You're acting like you've already made it. Remember, you have a long road ahead."

Jay sighed, knowing the System was right, but he couldn't help but feel excited about the future.

While he was engrossed in his research, his mom quietly approached his room. She peeked inside and was shocked by what she saw. Jay was sitting at his desk, surrounded by books and notes, completely focused on his studies.

Mom (thinking): "Is this really Jay? He's never been this dedicated before."

Surprised and a bit worried, she decided not to disturb him and silently left the room. She couldn't believe the transformation she was witnessing. The Jay she knew never studied or made notes. It felt good to see jay doing something meaningful, even if it was just a start.

Jay's thoughts drifted back to the dream world. He wondered how he would convince his parents in the dream. He knew it would be a challenge, but he had to try.

Jay (thinking): "Maybe I can find a way to prove my knowledge. If I can show them I know what I'm talking about, they might listen."

The System, sensing Jay's determination, decided to add its own twist to the situation.

System (smirking): "Good luck with that, Jay. Convincing adults as a kid? That should be entertaining."

Jay rolled his eyes but stayed focused on his research. He needed to be prepared for whatever came next.

As the hours passed, Jay delved deeper into the history of major companies and groundbreaking technologies. He learned about Ama*on's rise from an online bookstore to a global e-commerce giant, Faceb**k's creation and its impact on social media, and the inception of Bitcoi*, a digital currency that would revolutionize the financial world.

Jay's enthusiasm grew with each discovery. He imagined himself making strategic investments, riding the waves of success, and ultimately transforming his family's financial situation.

Jay (daydreaming): "I'll buy mom and dad a beautiful house, pay off all their debts, and give them the life they deserve. And maybe I'll even start my own tech company."

The System couldn't resist chiming in with another sarcastic remark.

System (teasing): "Don't get ahead of yourself, Jay. Remember, you're still living in your parents' house."

Jay laughed, shaking his head at the System's relentless teasing.

Jay: "Yeah, yeah. But a guy can dream, right?"

As the day turned into evening, Jay continued to absorb information like a sponge. He was determined to learn as much as possible before going to bed. The System watched him with a mix of amusement and curiosity.

System (smirking): "You're really going all out, huh? What's the rush?"

Jay looked up from his notes, his eyes filled with determination.

Jay: "I don't have time to waste. If I can learn everything I need to know now, I'll be ready for whatever comes next."

The System gave a slow, approving nod, though its usual smirk never left its face.

System: "Alright, Jay. Let's see if you can keep up this momentum."

By the time Jay finally closed his books and went to bed, he was exhausted but satisfied. He had absorbed a vast amount of information and felt more prepared than ever to face the challenges ahead.

As he drifted off to sleep, his mind raced with thoughts of the dream world and the possibilities that lay ahead. He wondered if he would wake up where he left off or if time would have moved forward.

Jay (thinking): "I guess I'll find out soon enough."

The moment Jay closed his eyes, he felt the familiar pull of the dream world. When he opened them again, he found himself back in the dream, right where he had left off.

Jay: "So, it really is real."
