NEKO WEALTH SYSTEM
CHAPTER 5: TIME LIMIT

Arthur then took the elevator to his room. The atmosphere of the Grand Victoria hotel is indeed different from other lodgings in the city. The furniture there looks expensive. Beautiful paintings adorn its walls. The hanging lights with additional ornaments and jars lined up, add a luxurious impression to the hotel.

"This is the room sir" said the delivery officer.

Room 602, located on the 6th floor, makes a view of the city's landscape visible from the hotel's bedroom window, once Arthur enters it.

Spacious rooms, lighting design and attractive layout welcome it. Very large sofa and mattress chairs are available there. Television that has been connected to the internet is ready to spoil anyone who stays in the room.

The first thing Arthur looked for was the bathroom. He went there to take a shower. Clean the body that feels itchy and sticky because of dust and sweat.

Bathing with warm water is very comfortable, the body immediately feels fresh and powerful. Then he wears his new clothes.

He looked in the mirror in the bathroom and saw his face that looked unkempt. Her hair was a mess, with a beard and mustache that was beginning to grow.

For a month, he never cut his hair and rarely shaved. A life that moves like a roller coaster, making him no longer have time to pay attention to appearance.

Cool new clothes with the look of hair and a face like that, really contrasting.

"I have to go to the salon!"

Before going to the salon Arthur checked again his status.

..."You get one quest: make 5 people happy in 3 hours. 50 Million prize"...

"What the hell is this quest," thought Arthur. The missions given more make him in touch with humans. The prize is very interesting to miss, but this time with a time limit.

Don't wanna linger. Arthur exited the hotel room, then got into the elevator to get off. As soon as he got down, he headed straight for the exit. Walk along the sidewalk, looking for the nearest salon.

The current location is the downtown area. There are many salons there. Then, he chose one of them and entered the salon.

Inside, he was immediately greeted by someone. From the name tag on his chest was written the word 'owner'. The man graciously welcomed him.

"Welcome to our salon, sir, will we help you get a haircut or shave?' he said he guessed Arthur's wish

"Both om"

"Do you want shampooing?"

"Can"

"Well, you will be served by our employees" he said, directing Arthur to one of his employees. He was asked to sit in one of the shaving chairs.

As soon as he sat there, he was immediately well served. His hair was cut, then his mustache and beard also did not escape getting treatment.

"Ah is very comfortable..," thought Arthur when he was massaged, after shampooing. His body was tired, as if it had become refreshed. His tense muscles felt more slack.

...----------------...

When he finished, he headed to the cashier to pay. Satisfied with the maximum service, Arthur paid more.

"The tariff is not up to this point" said the salon owner.

"The salon service is very satisfying. This money is a gift to you both"

"Thank you sir, don't come here." The owner and the salon employee shook Arthur's hand, thanking him.

Before leaving, Arthur saw the results of his shave on the glass.

"Hmmm... Just found out that I was handsome too" he muttered to see a cleaner face because he finished shaving.

..."There's only 2 hours left"...

He got out of the salon and walked out. Once outside he met two women who had very nice bodies, their pretty faces looked in rhythm with his blonde hair paint. Along the way, he continued to look at the women, and instead they also looked at Arthur.

Because he paid too much attention to the two of them, Arthur was not aware that he had gone out of the sidewalk in front of the salon.

"Byurrrr"

The man fell into the got. The color of the black got water and the smell of the comberan makes its fondness disappear instantly.

Instead of helping, the women just laughed out loud. One of them even cried because it felt very very funny, seeing Arthur bathed in water got. Embarrassed, Arthur immediately walked away from the place.

He ran all the way, the cars stopped because the riders were watching him. This causes congestion.

Seeing someone running with a body full of water comberan, is not a sight that can be found every day.

"It's incredibly embarrassing. Why am I so squealing girls." Along the way Arthur covered his face.

Arthur went back to the hotel. Employees and visitors looked at him in astonishment. But he did not care and headed straight to the room.

Inside, he took another shower. It took almost an hour, until his body was clean and the smell was completely gone.

"Wahhh, it's 4 people" Arthur muttered as he checked his status after taking a bath. It only takes one more person so that he can get 50 million dollars.

Apparently the tips for the salon and its tragedy that makes two women laugh, is considered a giver of happiness.

He then checked the quest time limit.

..."stay another hour to complete the quest."...

"I'm wasting too much time" said Arthur.

In a hurry he came out of the room and planned to go around to find someone he could make happy, in order to complete the quest.

The road was hot, because it was in the dry season. This caused not too many pedestrians that he encountered.

Arthur walked quickly around the city, for 45 minutes. But he still could not meet anyone to complete his quest. When his body felt exhausted, the man began to despair. His hope of completing the quest seemed to be dashed.

"it's my fault, for wasting too much time"

In desperation. He saw a child crying on the sidewalk. The boy seemed to be shaking something in his hand.

"Why deck?" ask Arthur a little.

"my cat starved om, almost dead. I forgot to eat since yesterday"

"Ohhh so.. All right, wait a minute here"

Arthur ran to the pet store, then found cat food. After that he also took the time to buy two ice creams, one for himself for the boy.

Arthur forgot the time limit that was running out. He only cares about the child and the cat.

Once back, the food purchased is directly given to the cat. At first he was reluctant to eat, but they forced him to. Eventually the animal ate.

Stay one minute

"Ting.ting"

The sound of a notification, the quest has been successfully executed.

Arthur immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As for the child, he looks very happy. Because in addition to getting ice cream, the cat is also back to health.

Then, the two of them chatted while eating ice cream together. Arthur asks why he forgot to feed the cat.

According to the boy, he forgot because his cat was a strange one. Would not eat if not cooked fish. The animal even chose hunger rather than eating other than the ripe fish.

Arthur then remembered Neko. He guessed, maybe the animal also came from the planet Nekone. They spoke at length, until late afternoon. When they separated, the child thanked them many times.

Arthur then moved away from the place and headed back to the hotel. On the way home, his mouth did not stop smiling.

"50 million in hand, the safe passage from the forest is approaching" whispered Arthur in excitement.

The quest to make others happy is over. But Arthur still does not understand what happiness is. Whether about receiving gifts, laughing at others or seeing our beloved back to health.
