Chapter 168: New Place (2/2)

Alex stayed behind and watched TV for quite a while. Since he had nothing else to do, he just switched the channels over and over, until he landed on a news channel with a flashing headline.

Alex read the headline and thought, 'should I set a reminder so that I catch it?'

”Hey, are you ready?” Hannah suddenly appeared.

”Oh yeah, I'm ready to go anytime,” Alex said and got up.

”Okay, let's leave.” They both got out of the house and Hannah locked the doors. ”Oh yeah, keep this.” She handed him a key. ”This is the key to the house. You should keep it for now,” she said.

”Do we have to take a cab?” Alex asked.

”No, the market is right around the corner, we can just walk there,” Hannah replied. ”What do you need exactly other than the bed?” she asked. Alex relayed everything he had thought of buying earlier.

”Oh wow. You really want to buy so much huh? Thankfully, your big sister is rich and she can buy you anything,” Hannah said with a smug face.

”Oh, have Aunt and Uncle been sending you money?” he asked.

”No silly. I'm talking about my own money. I have already told them that I don't need their money anymore since I have a lot of it,” Hannah said.

”You have a job, sister?” he asked. He had never heard of his sister working during the last 2 times they had met.

”No. I am making money from the game.” Hannah seemed quite proud.

Alex was surprised. ”You make money from the game too, sister?” he asked.

Hannah looked towards him with a curious look and asked,” What do you mean 'too'? Do you earn money too?” she asked.

”Yeah, I've been making pills in the game that I later sell to auctions. I have sold it a few times and was able to accumulate quite a bit of money,” he said.

”Not bad. Making money in this game is quite easy, so you shouldn't have a lot of problems with it,” Hannah said. But then she thought about something and said,” Actually, maybe it's just me that got really lucky, and making money isn't that hard. How much money have you even made till now?”

Alex thought for a second as to whether saying it was a good thing or not, but since she was his sister, he decided to say it.

”I have managed to make about 25 thousand dollars by now. I should have some increments from my earning tomorrow,” he said.
