[Your first mission today is to go to a coastal village and help find solutions to improve their economy]

[You have a whole day to complete this mission]

[You only need to find solutions; the implementation can be done tomorrow]

[Your reward is access to several products in the system store, which you are free to buy or resell]

[You will also receive a cash reward of 15 million dollars]

[If you refuse this mission, the system will deduct 20 million dollars from your account]

Riki almost choked when he saw the system's last notification.

How could he let the system deduct that much money from his account?

Of course, Riki won't let that happen.

Then the system screen changed again, showing the location of the coastal village in question.

It turned out to be not far from where Riki was, but it was a fairly remote place. If he wasn't mistaken, it was a place that had once been fought over by conglomerates. But that was when Riki was still a child and his father was still alive.

"Riki, are you awake? What did you have for breakfast?"

Riki turned his head and almost screamed when Anton suddenly appeared behind him. Anton was only wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts, clearly having just woken up.

"I had a very sweet apple for breakfast. Do you want some? Sit down."

Anton obeyed Riki's command and sat down next to him, still looking sleepy.

Riki gave Anton a piece of black apple that he had cut earlier.

"Do you know about the village nearby? The one that was once fought over by conglomerates? I think that village is neglected now," asked Riki.

Anton, who was still not fully awake, tried to stay awake by eating the apple Riki gave him. Then he was surprised because the apple tasted very sweet, but not overly so. The apple was also crunchy but had quite a lot of juice. The skin was black and the flesh was yellowish.

"The village nearby, right? Wasn't it bought by someone who—hmm, wait a minute."

Anton grabbed Riki's smartphone, which was unlocked at the time. He searched for something on the internet.

Then he showed it to Riki.

"This person bought it, and now he's selling it to the government. But the government can't buy it anymore. I don't know what really happened to that village, even though it's very beautiful. Maybe the government can't buy it because the person is asking for a very high price for a village that is difficult to access. In fact, there is also a beautiful beach there, but well... the problem is that it is difficult to access. If we go there, we need to park the car and walk about, um... maybe 500 meters. The village is behind a pine forest."

Anton's limited explanation made Riki even more curious.

"Let's go there, Anton."

Hearing that, Anton was no longer sleepy.

"WHAT?"

Riki nodded, "Let's go there. I'm sure the people in that village are having a hard time right now. The government doesn't care about them, and the landlords there don't care about them either."

Anton, who was still shocked and confused, remained silent at that moment. He was also amazed that suddenly, without any stormy weather, Riki was worried about the villagers who didn't even know him.

"Anton? Why are you silent? We don't have any other plans, right? Twaila and Jake can handle my work, and we also have a day off from college today," said Riki.

"I'm also off from school, so I'm coming!" Sofie suddenly appeared, wearing cute Hello Kitty pajamas and hugging a white rabbit doll.

Riki immediately turned to Sofie, "You don't even know where we're going, Sofie."

"Where are you guys going? I have the next week off work, I need a break!" Sean came up behind Sofie, yawning widely.

Riki sighed deeply and heavily. He forgot that they couldn't leave Riki alone, they would definitely want to come along. Selene would be next.

"You guys are going, I'm coming too!" Selene shouted from inside the mansion.

Riki had expected this.

"Are you sure you want to come with us?" asked Anton.

Without knowing anything, they nodded in agreement.

An hour later, they were stunned when they saw their destination.

"You didn't say we were going to Seashell Beach, Riki!" Sofie, the girl, was jumping up and down with joy, walking ahead of the others.

"Shell Beach? What's that?" asked Selene.

"A few hundred meters ahead of us, there will be a small fishing village, and in front of it is a beautiful beach, where there are usually lots of beautiful shells," replied Anton.

"I'm tired," complained Sean, who was already complaining a lot even though they hadn't even started yet.

Selene dragged Sean's arm, "Don't let Sofie beat you! She's already far ahead of us!"

Riki just chuckled at them.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the coastal village.

There were several people living there. Actually, they were workers employed by the landowner. They worked fishing, then sent the catch to their landlord.

Riki and Anton immediately went to see the village head, who fortunately was not out sailing that day. Meanwhile, Selene, Sean, and Sofie went to play on the beach.

"Actually, we have been neglected by the landowner for two years. He no longer cares about us or the fish we catch. Even though we always bring fresh fish. Because of that, we are forced to sell our fish at the market. Our income is very small, considering the cost of going to the market is also not small," said the village head.

"In your opinion, if I buy this land, what changes should I make here?" asked Riki.

Anton looked at the village head, then at Riki, before he dared to answer.

"Ahem! If I may give my opinion, actually you only need to repair the roads or access to this village. Then, improve the facilities around the beach, and that way there will be many visitors coming. If there are many visitors, then the fishermen won't need to sell their fish far away. They can just sell them here, or they can also sell them in a processed form, for example, selling grilled fish, so the price will also be higher."

[Your first mission has been successful!]

Riki had guessed that Anton would be very useful.

Riki patted Anton on the shoulder, smiling proudly at him.

"You are indeed very useful, Anton. Let's do it," said Riki.

"Uh? Are you serious?" asked Anton.

Riki nodded, "Yes, let's buy this place!"

"You said buy..."

"Yup, buy!"

The village chief laughed upon hearing this, "You two are extraordinary young people!"
