Reborn as a Mechanist with a God-Tier System-Chapter 260: The Tale of a Poor Man [2]

"Good morning sir, have you heard of Cabin D World?"

"..."

...

"Sir, have you heard of Cabin D World?"

"Not interested".

"But sir, it is an international company..."

"..."

The Synth rudely walked off into the distance.

David stared in a daze as the Synth brushed past him and left, then he recovered and scoffed, thinking. ’Unambitious man, I was once like you’.

’That’s why you’re going to live your whole life poor while I’m going to be a billionaire in a few years’.

He patted his blue T-shirt like a boss, adjusting it to look sharp and ironed as he motivated himself. ’Keep the dream alive!’

...

A beautiful blonde Geneform lady with a stunning smile on her face laughed as holding her little daughter on one hand who was also blonde, they walked through the streets while she tried to prevent her from running off.

The girl kept on jumping happily.

Seeing them, David could not help but smile. "Good morning ma, your daughter looks so cute".

The young Geneform could not help it as a bright smile blossomed on her face as a result of the compliment. "She’s my first daughter". She said proudly.

"She looks so much like you," David genuinely complimented, then he asked. "Ma, have you heard of Cabin D World?"

The young woman shook her head. "No, is it a new company? Is anything the matter?"

"Nothing serious," David smiled, knowing he finally caught someone else’s attention. "I just love spreading the secrets of health and wellness".

"Really?"

"Of course!" David’s smile widened. "Cabin D World is a big international company that has roots across all the cities of the world, and I am a business partner with them, an honorable Cabin D World entrepreneur".

Seeing her look at her wristwatch to check the time, David wisely cut down on the many ideas in his head and summarized. "Well, in summary, we at Cabin D World have some of the best minds in the world working with us".

"They’ve created some of the most potent drugs the world has ever seen. We don’t do this for the money but as charity, to spread our miraculous drugs to as much people who need it".

"As you know, we’re not living in the healthiest of eras".

The woman nodded with an apologetic smile. "That’s cool, but I’m really not a big fan of buying drugs outside official channels".

David didn’t show disappointment at all as he smiled. "That’s ok too, our company doesn’t just have one aspect".

"We have the medical aspect and the money aspect too".

"Ma, do you want to hear of an opportunity of a lifetime that can help you become a billionaire in 2 to 3 years?"

"A billionaire?" This woman was stunned.

Seeing her reaction, David grinned. "Of course! Have I told you who the leader of our company is?"

"No".

David’s face turned serious. "The leader of our company is Bill Zefyr, the richest man in the world!"

"Wow, really?"

David nodded. "If you’re interested, here’s a flyer for our business seminar this afternoon. Here, my leader will be addressing all the reasons why people stay poor and the secret to being rich with Cabin D World".

"Please do well to meet up and come if you can, this may be the opportunity of a lifetime that you’re looking for".

The young woman took the flyer and looked at it.

["Preventive Healthcare and Wellness Business Seminar!"]

["Is Bill Zefyr your role model? Do you want to become a billionaire too? Have you ever thought of doing a stress-free business that leverages on people? If so, congratulations! Here’s an opportunity of a lifetime!"]

["It’s happening this afternoon by 3:00pm."]

[Special Guest Speaker: Mr. Zagaban]

[Venue: Room 303, Pat Austin Hotel]

[Flyer No.: 026] 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

David smiled at her. "When you come to the hotel, just tell them your flyer number and you’ll be allowed in".

She nodded seriously, then she promised. "I’ll create time to come".

"Please do ma, I’ll be expecting you".

Watching her walk off, David could not help the excitement bubbling inside of him. ’Yes! Another person!’

He already invited 5 people like her with her making up the 6th person for the business seminar in the afternoon.

He looked at the time.

[09:44am]

’I can still stay for 2 more hours before leaving’. He thought.

...

2 hours later, David’s legs felt tired.

He hadn’t eaten all morning!

’It’s just a small sacrifice to becoming a billionaire’. He consoled himself with a smile like that of a man carrying the cross of the entire world.

He didn’t find another customer to patronize his goods that morning but he was able to invite a few more people to the business seminar in the afternoon, he consoled himself with this.

’Who knows? Maybe all of them will register’. He thought. ’How many PV will I get if I can get 10 people to register?’ His brain whirred as he calculated excitedly.

With such thoughts in his head, happily, he finally decided to go home.

Despite the great distance to his home, David didn’t take a cab though. To an ambitious distributor like him, that was a huge waste of resources when he was physically strong and healthy and when nothing was wrong with his legs.

’Lack of exercise is one thing that’s killing our generation’.

’This is an opportunity to exercise my legs!’ He thought with a smile.

Instead of taking a cab, he preferred to use his leg.

’It’s all part of the sacrifice to become a billionaire while staying healthy and fit’. He told himself.

He put his airpods on and strapped his backpack on, then his journey started. Listening to one of the latest metal trending songs, he lost track of time and before he knew it, he already walked a great distance.

But then David started hearing a faint voice calling his name through the beats of the song playing in his ear. The moment he heard the voice, he also noticed a hand waving at him wildly from the side of a street alley.

David paused and removed his airpods.

"Mr. David you f*cking scam!" The man called angrily.

"Your drugs don’t work! You scammed me of my money! You must give me back my money today!"

David immediately frowned as he waited for the man to walk towards him, then he asked in a stern tone. "What are you talking about? Mind the way you talk". He warned.

"Mind the way I talk?" The man laughed. "You actually have the guts to tell me that? Lord, I feel like punching you on the face right now".

"You sold fake products to me and you dare talk to me like this?" The man’s face twisted. "I came here with violence, give me my money now or else..."

"Or else what?" David’s frown deepened. "When did I ever sell fake products to you?"

"You said your drugs can heal my lung disease and foolish me, I believed you, I’ve been taking it for over a month now, spending so much money in the process and still no improvement. If that’s not a scam, then what is?"

"But I told you to be patient about it, healing takes time," David said patiently, then he smiled. "Luckily for you, I have another Zigg-7 here with me. Buy another one, it may be the one that’ll finally heal you completely".

The man’s face twitched. "The nerve of you! Do you take me for a fool?"

Before David could realize what was going on, the man pounced on him but even while caught off-guard, the lean Geneform nimbly evaded.

The man didn’t give up though as cursing, he pulled a knife out of a hidden pocket in his clothes.

"...!"

David was alarmed and shocked at the sight of the knife as he staggered back in terror, staring at his customer incredulously.

He couldn’t understand why the situation escalated so suddenly.

Instantly, the commotion made a few bystanders intervene as they rushed forward to hold the man. In the chaos, David nimbly slipped away.

After that, till David got home, he was paranoid as he no longer walked on the public way, sticking to the shadows instead.

He felt like everyone around him was after his life.

Only when he arrived in front of the building did he stop and take a deep breath, then he thought in a daze. ’My life was just threatened’.

’Why?’ He felt confused.

’I’m doing the world a favor right? Why did he try to kill me?’

David felt like his whole world and beliefs were turning upside down. ’Why does the drugs not work for him? But the leader always say so confidently that they work, and there are so many testimonies too’.

Confused and in a daze, he entered the underground bunker.

David walked through a dirty corridor to the second underground floor that was filled with dirt and mold, then he opened a wooden door.

Behind the door was his room.

The room was dimly illuminated. There was no furniture, just a wooden box at a corner of the room and tarpaulin woven mats that were spread on the cold ground with a few people lying down on them.

These were David’s roommates, and there were 8 of them in total.

The 8 of them were business partners and distributors for Cabin D World, and together, they aspired to become billionaires.

This room was paid for them by their direct leader in Cabin D World.

This was David’s home.
