I got 2 more customers, a few more aunties from the same floor, asking me to either fix their phones or laptops that had been getting slow or shutting off on their own after some time.
While I charged a dollar for smartphone problems given they were solved in less than a minute, I charged $10 for the laptop one. It wasn't complex either, just that since laptop repairs are often on the higher side than smartphone repairs, it was easy to ask for that much money.
Something like this can earn me around $300 in a bad week. It's not much, but this should cover any transportation costs in the near future. I thought before moving to the website that I had created from scratch just now.
Since there are many hidden costs related to IP domains and such, I didn't publish that website online and just kept the program intact, enough to publish it online in case someone asked to see it.
The rest of the 9 websites, featuring different text formats and such, were also done in the next 3 hours, allowing me to have a break for myself. Since Mom wasn't there, I had to drink a cup of milk, eat the leftover sandwiches that Mom made in the morning, and a few snacks that were still left from my birthday party.
Eating that, I then went on the latest social media applications and created a new handle with the name
A_Nonymous_Creator
Then, after publishing a video of how the website works and its less detailed functions, I finished the website works for now. I even added a few special details to leave a trademark of sorts. This would help people identify my website compared to other websites, making them more curious about me, in turn, hopefully getting even more customers.
Perhaps I can get at least a single response within a week? I hoped for a bit.
A single website costs between $50 and $500 depending on how complex it is. And honestly, it was way cheaper than what the others sold starting at $1000, so in a way it had the potential to attract customers. Though how well it will do is something more or less Algorithm based at this point.
I should just create 3 or 4 similar designs to these 10 and keep on publishing them every day. I thought before closing the handles, and the website before stretching a bit.
-Ding! Dong!
Moving towards the door, I peeked through the keyhole and found that the neighbouring aunty had brought 3 more customers, looking at the door, perhaps the banner that I placed, with a curious gaze.
-Click!
And then, opening the door, I smiled at them before greeting,
"Afternoon, Auntie."
"Afternoon, Mikael. Sorry to disturb you, but can you help my niece with her mobile problem too? Her younger brother put the wrong password too many times, and now it's completely locked."

Location: ??? (Somewhere in the Underworld)
As Raven finished leveling up, she decided to log off early because of her training schedule in the real world. Much to Trisha's dismay, who also decided to log off at that time, saying she had something to do as well.
Taking off the headset, Raven saw the face of her sister, waiting for her to return. Understanding that Castellina wouldn't have come here at this time if it wasn't important, made Raven observe her with a serious look while wondering what exactly was the reason.
"You have a mission," Castellina spoke.
A mission?!! Hearing that, Raven's ears perked. The elders never gave her a chance to go to the outside world and only kept her confined in training and other mundane tasks. It was done to make sure that Castellina behaved properly and to restrict her pathway to run away from their organisation.
"It's an observation mission. I will be going with you, along with one more member, whom the elders will select. Probably from the top 5 assassins to keep us both in check," Castellina explained, to which Raven nodded.
It was expected.
But still, it was already great news that she was allowed to get out of this suffocating den. Something she had yearned for ages.
"Our task is to observe and collect as much information as possible. We won't be participating in any combat tasks unless the situation demands. Here is the invitation card that we forged for the party. Keep it safe. You will also be getting a dress with a hidden weapon in it later. And lastly, though we are the only ones doing the mission, there will be more assassins, most probably from the other organizations there. So be observant of them as well," Castellina informed Raven.
Castellina then put the invitation card on the table before leaving. Raven looked at the card with slight interest.

Location: Vincent Mansion
Logging off of the game, Trisha stretched with a beautiful smile on her face. The afternoon sunrays reflected off the leaves of her garden tree, making them shine as flickering lights, creating a serene atmosphere.
Since today was an off day, Trisha had decided to use all the time she could to get to Inara Settlement, hoping to meet Raven and the rest of the party members. Hence, the first thing she did was she started walking in the early morning in the game, not stopping even during the nights as she avoided the monsters and finally reached the settlement 48 hours walk later.
"It was worth it!" With excitement visible on her face, she smiled like an idiot for a moment before she heard a knock on the door.
-Knock! Knock
"Miss Trisha, Mr. Vincent is calling you," a feminine voice came from the other side of her maid, Annie.
"Coming, Annie," Trisha responded before getting ready as she changed into a formal dress, combed her hair before tying it up properly and then applied slight makeup to make herself more presentable.
While she could have called the maids to do the same, Trisha liked doing smaller tasks by herself. It helps her body move and somewhat relaxes her brain from any tension she might have built up. Sometimes, she even hums her favourite songs while doing so.
Opening the door, she then gracefully walked down to the dining area where lunch was being served.
Currently, only her elder brother and father were present there, having lunch together. They looked at Trisha, who appeared from the doorway, and silently sat on the chair after giving a slight bow.
"Next week, there is a major function at the Charles Academy. I will need you to attend it. You will be going there as a guest and will be representing the Vincents," Trisha's father gave a command before getting back to finish his lunch.
Trisha simply nodded in silence, her eyes carefully looking at the invitation present on the table in front of her father and brother.

So, father and brother will be attending this ball while I'll be going to the Charles academy event as a guest, huh? Guess I need to work a bit to clear my schedule. She review before continuing to eat as well.
