Ethan looked at his reflection in a side-mirror of a sedan. The grease was still there, but the man beneath is level up completely. His jaw-line was sharper, his eyes were clearer. He felt like a high performance engine that had finally received a well due tune-up.

"What a headache" Ethan muttered under his breath feeling the task issued by the system.
"I can't build a legacy looking like a grease monkey".
He took a Uber to a glitzy, high-end mall.
Where he disappeared inside for two hours, meticulously preparing himself. When he finally emerged from the luxury boutique in the city center, he was completely unrecognizable.
Ethan stood before a full-length mirror, adjusting the cuffs of a midnight-blue Armani suit that fit his 7.5 strength frame of broad shoulder and chiseled chest. On his waist he wore a Balenciaga luxury belt and on his foot, there a pair of Balenciaga leather flat firm shoes. His whole attaire costs 20,000 USD.
He glanced at his wrist, where a Vacherin Constantin Chorona24 time piece ticked with silent, mechanical perfection . A masterpiece of engineering that costs 24,000 USD. Which is more than enough to buy Jack dilapidated garage.
He pulled a new iPhone 17e from his pocket the screen is bright and steek which costs him 600USD.
The start up capital has been put to work. he wasn't just clean but also meticulously upgraded.
He went took a taxi and went to a car dealership and bought a Honda Civic for 25000 USD and made one last stop to his dilapidate apartment complex, where Mr. Edward Henderson the land lord who had spent the last eight weeks threatening to throw him out along with his baggage.
Ethan first straightly entered his apartment, where the smell of cheap detergent and the stench of dampness hit his nose. He took what was usable and threw away the rest. Then he went straight to the office of Mr. Edward pulled a stack of crisp bills from his pocket and let them on his counter, two months rent and said he is moving out. Before Mr. Edward could speak Ethan vanished from the spot.

Ethan nodded an said I understand.
Then Ethan looked at the crowd of people passing by . His eyes of discernment began to flicker, scanning the sea of faces for a spark of gold.
" Three partners" Ethan whispered to himself, for unlocking the system 2.0 and also the " Three pillars for his Benjamin house hold".
The Armani Fabric is rustling as he walked towards his black Honda civic. And got inside the car and drove away. And Mr. Henderson who followed him stared as the car spade away leaving dust and exhaust smoke away.
