Idle Money System

As they finished watching the whole scene, Anya was having fun, and even Aeloria couldn't help but be fascinated.

This was the first time she had seen a human in a suit transform into a giant, shooting laser beams.

Seeing their faces, Alexander was very much enjoying it as well. He then explained, "What you are watching is just a kids' show. It's not real," he uttered as the show finished and another scene started, showing the Red Ranger outside in space.

"Not real? Big brother Alex, I don't believe you. Anya can literally see that it's a real person," Anya argued, her cheeks puffed up in disagreement.

Alexander chuckled at her reaction, "I know it looks real, but it's all special effects and acting. That's the magic of TV and movies," he said, trying to put some sense.

Anya still seemed skeptical, but she continued to watch the screen with wide-eyed wonder.

Aeloria also didn't believe him and sided with the little child. Alexander continued to explain, "Look, if you want to believe it, you two will look like fools in my hometown. On the TV, you can see that it's a show made for kids. What they are using is called special effects. They are not real but edited," Alexander said.

The two stared at him with blank faces, having no idea what he meant, "What's special effects and edited, big brother Alex?" Anya asked, looking at him in confusion.

Alexander stopped and thought for a while, finally sighing. He realized he would have to explain it in the simplest terms they could understand.

After a while of explaining the functions of the TV and the variety of shows available, the two gradually understood what Alexander meant, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

It took him about half an hour of explaining, during which he showed them other shows like cartoons and anime.

"So that means I can watch anything I want on this TV, big brother Alex?" Anya asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes, you can. You can watch any cartoons or even some action and romantic films," he responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Anya was thrilled, shaking with excitement on the couch. Alexander, seeing this, handed her the remote and began teaching her how to use it.

Thanks to his unique passive from his title 'Traveller' that was shared with the two, understanding written words and language was not a problem. Anya listened carefully to his explanation on how to use the remote.

As she took it and clicked some buttons, she selected a show. The screen lit up with an intro featuring a melon spinning, capturing her attention immediately.

"Cocomelon" the sound system sounded.

Anya got off the couch and moved closer to the TV hanging on the wall, watching the cartoon kid singing songs while playing with a toy in the night.

Aeloria was also captivated by the show, humming along to the tune, "Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above..."

Alexander looked at Anya, who was now sitting on the floor, legs crossed, completely engrossed in the TV. He then glanced at Aeloria.

"Aeloria, I have something to talk about," he said softly.

Aeloria, who had been enjoying the moment, paused and shifted her gaze towards Alexander, curiosity filling her eyes as she wondered what he wanted to discuss.

Now that he had her attention, Alexander said, "I want to enroll Anya in a school. Would that be okay with you? She's still young and needs to learn the principles of my hometown, and it would also give her the chance to make friends close to her age," he said, locking his gaze with hers.

Hearing this, Aeloria didn't agree immediately. She looked down and thought about it for a while.

Memories of Anya's childhood came flooding back, like how she hadn't had the chance to play with other kids due to their hard life. She knew that sending Anya to school could offer her the opportunities and experiences she had missed out on.

Rather than playing, Anya always followed her to gather food, wasting her youth along the way. Aeloria knew what school was, but back in her hometown, it was located hundreds of kilometers away.

The transportation costs were high, and that didn't even include the tuition. Moreover, the journey was fraught with dangers like wild beasts and bandits, which she feared the most.

Even if the cost was high, Aeloria would work three times harder to afford it. But the danger was too great; she couldn't bear the thought of sending Anya off on such a perilous journey.

She was traumatized by bandits, terrified that Anya might be abducted and suffer the same fate as her mother.

Bandits didn't care about age, and Aeloria had heard many stories and news about such horrors, making her afraid to leave Anya alone.

"Is the journey safe? Are there going to be beasts or bandits and bad people if she goes to school?" Aeloria asked with concern.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Alexander gently held her hands, which were squeezing the foam of the couch. She calmed down and waited for his response.

"You don't have to worry about that. My hometown is governed by law. Even though there are bad people, they are not active because they don't want to get arrested," he replied reassuringly.

"Also, I could hire a chauffeur, or you could say a driver, to take Anya to school and bring her home. If you're really worried, we can visit the school together so you can see how safe and lively it is," he finished.

Absorbing the information, Aeloria felt reluctant but knew that this was for Anya's growth. Who was she to stop her from having such opportunities?

"Alright then, I'll agree, but let us check the school first. Is it also possible to stay with her for the day? I think she will not feel comfortable since your hometown is so different," Aeloria said with a condition.

"Sure, that's not a problem. It's late at night, so you should rest now. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the library, or you can find it since it's not far from here. Also, you can watch more TV shows related to my hometown to understand more about my place," Alexander said, glancing at the time on his phone.

Seeing the object in his hand, Aeloria was puzzled. Noticing her curious expression, Alexander explained, "This is called a smartphone. It's like a miniature TV, but it's a bit different. You can watch videos, play games, or even call and text someone," he said, passing her the phone.

Aeloria took the phone, her eyes wide with wonder. She slowly explored its features, intrigued by the item in her hand.

Alexander just watched her actions with a smile, glad to see her interest and excitement.

She took it and was a little confused about how to use it. Alexander taught her step by step, showing her how to tap and swipe. After some time, she began to understand it a little.

"I will buy you one tomorrow. With a phone, you can call me if any problem happens," he said as he watched her playing a tap money game.

Observing that it appeared to be a game to outsiders, and the generated money was not being deposited into his account. If it did then it will be the greatest life hack if that were the case.

"Let's take a nap for now. Tomorrow, I have to go to work and will come back in the afternoon," he said. Aeloria then handed the phone back to him.

Anya, who was called to sleep for the night, was reluctant since she loved watching the bald baby singing on TV. However, she didn't want to anger her big sister, so she followed unwillingly.

Alexander then turned off the TV and guided the two back to their rooms. He turned on the air conditioning, setting it to a comfortable coolness, and closed the window to ensure they wouldn't leak out.

"If you need anything, I will be in my room," Alexander said to Aeloria, who stood at the door while Anya was already lying in bed, covering her upper body with the quilt, enjoying its texture.

Aeloria nodded as Alexander walked over to Anya, leaned down, and kissed her forehead, gently patting her head.

"Alright then, Anya. Go to sleep now. You watch TV tomorrow since it was night, you have to know that looking at the screen for too long will hurt your eyes. Aeloria, don't forget, if there are any problems, just find me in my room," Alexander said, standing up straight.

With that, he left the room and went towards his own.

Alexander then left the room, leaving Aeloria and Anya alone. He turned off the light and had already instructed Aeloria on how to turn it on and off.

He headed to his own room, deciding to take a nap. Even though he didn't need it at the moment, he wanted to relax, appreciating being back in his world.

In a distant place, in a mansion, a middle-aged man stood in a wide and luxurious room, close to the window, gazing into the distance.

His expression was unreadable, hinting at deep thoughts and perhaps a plan forming in his mind.

The night was calm, but his mind was undoubtedly active, filled with ideas and intentions yet to be revealed.

"Yuno, I want you to take a flight to watch and protect my son. If there are troubles that he cannot handle, I want you to deal with them. Now that he has already experienced the life of a normal person, his training has come to an end," the man said.

It was none other than Alexander's father, Max Ashbourne. behind him stood an elderly man, around 60-70 years old.

"Your words are my command, master. I also cannot wait to see the growth of the young master after being exposed to the harsh realities of society," he said, bowing his head.

This was Alexander's personal butler from his childhood. Alexander referred to him as Uncle Yuno rather than a servant.

However, due to certain circumstances, Yuno had been prohibited from interfering in his young master's life.

Now, with the master's order, Yuno was once again ready to serve and protect Alexander, eager to witness his growth and support him in any way possible.

"Since my son is currently living as a normal person, he still needs protection. That's why I'm sending you. With you by his side, he will be safe, even if the whole world becomes his enemy," Alexander's father, Max Ashbourne, said, his face remaining stoic as he continued to gaze at the scenery outside.

Yuno kept bowing his head in approval, "That is the reason why I called you. You can go tomorrow morning, but remember, do not expose yourself. He harbors great resentment towards us after all," Max said, his voice unwavering.

Yuno straightened up and replied, "Understood, master. I will ensure the young master's safety without revealing my presence."

...

That is, if he is still a normal person after all that.
