Chapter 8: Buying
Balance: 324$
"Wow, I didn't know it was actually this big," Jeff exclaimed in his mind, overwhelmed by the amount.
Just imagine working non-stop for over three hours. A normal person, for example, might only earn around twenty to thirty dollars in that same amount of time, or even less.
But Jeff was different. The reason he earned so much was simple.
It's because of the OP skill, with it he could finish one project in just 5 to 10 minutes. And on top of that, some clients even sent him tips out of pure satisfaction.
He had already lost count of how many works he had finished. His hands trembled since this is the first time he made his own money.
Then he tapped the "Convert to PHP" button, his breath was very much haggard.
Balance: ₱17,658.00
"Seventeen thousand in a span of three hours, this felt like hacking," Jeff muttered with a broken smile.
When Jeff checked again the conversion rate from PayPal to pesos, his eyes blurred. The numbers felt unreal.
Kids his age were dropping out of school to work ten-hour shifts for a fraction of what he had just earned. Even adults, full-time workers grinding under the heat of the sun, often took home less than this after an entire week.
