After that he then went through the process of purchasing his custom made computer.
'Buy custom pc, with the latest generation of technology'. He said listing the different hardware form the RAM, GPU, CPU and Hard Drive only choosing the best he possibly can. After a while the computer was place in the shop.
[Shop
Custom Build PC- 28,750LP; 7 days left]
'Tsk' Nan'Ke grimace seeing that the cost of the laptop was far exceeding his current LP. By his calculations it would basically take him more than 7 days to make the required amount of LP to purchase the computer if he only relies on the daily quest which only gives him 800LP (200+150+150+300) a day.
'Shit, didn't think it would be so expensive, but regardless of that I need to gain life points. What can I do now? Dawn said that gaining life points is about doing things or action in your life or make a life achievement right.'
Thinking along those lines he brainstormed a few ideas, which is a little risky considering he was under the impression people were after him. He doesn't have access to a computer right now as he usually does his coding at the police station and the first time he used a computer was at the library. Seeing he had no other choice at the moment and he didn't want to go back to the Attaché hotel he settle for the library.
He called for a car service ride as he didn't want to be notice on the street, thinking he was very careless yesterday by taking the bus. After a while a black Audi arrived at the community for Nan'Ke. After greeting the drive and notifying him that he wants to go to the library the driver nodded and proceeded to the destination.
The library was located two blocks away from the police station so he ask the driver if he could drop him behind the library since being seen by anyone who knows him could be dangerous right now. Unperturbed by his request the driver did as he was told and drop him where he said.
Nan'Ke quickly entered the building and proceeded to show his library card to gain access to one of the computers. After doing that he pulled out a USB which housed his program codes. Today he was think of finishing the 'TradeMoore' program thinking that completing his first real life program would gain him a significant amount of LP.
For the next 5 hours Nan'Ke did nothing but code, with his new found knowledge and skill [Quantum Programming] he went through his code from the beginning eliminating all errors and bugs as well as any exploitative loops in the program. He didn't eat anything as he was so focus on finishing as fast as possible. He was truly satisfied with the results. Now all he had to do was open a Trading account with some money and the tool would do the trading for him.
[Quantum Programming level 3 (750/1,000)
'Oh so it increase, but not by much but I'll take it' he said noticing the increase in the experience bar of the skill.
[Congratulations to the host for gaining Life Points Daily Quests: works 4hrs/day Reward 300LP]
'So anything I do or any task that I perform that better my like in the short or long term would consider work or is it that because the program that I created will be used in my company?' he asked Dawn.
[Work in this instance is not a job but rather a task. It could be anything once you put effort in for 4 hours in that task it would be considered work. This is repeatable throughout the day meaning if you work for 12 hours you would get 900LP (12/4=3*300) However the only limitation to this is that the task must make your life better so watching a movie for 4 hours would not be considered as 'work' same would playing video games]
'I see, thanks Dawn'. [Your welcome]
'Sigh' slightly disappointed that he on only got life points from the daily quest he could not but help let out a breath. But then a smile appeared on his face as the system notify him again
[Congratulations to the host for gaining a life achievement: First project completed; Reward 5,000LP]
"Yes" he shouted out loud only to be met with a resounding "sshhhhh".
*DING*
[Main Quest
Start A Business: Create your first business venture.
Requirement: Must achieve $1,000,000 in profit.
Reward: 50,000LP
Time Limit: none]
After apologizing for his sudden outburst Nan'Ke retrieved his USB and call for another service car for a ride back home. He notice the [Main Quest] notification but decided that he would look at it when he was at home. On his way back he ordered some fast food from a chicken restaurant as he would arrive the same time the food would so he was happy and even more so thinking that by tomorrow he would have his hands on his laptop, seeing his current life point are [27,402]. It was already night time when he reach home so he decided to take a shower after eating and go to sleep.
The Next Day
Nan'Ke work up and did his usual morning bathroom routine. After that he decided to finally complete one of the daily quest [Run 2.5km]. So after getting ready he left his house and started running around the community, with his body construct and attributes that pertain to physicality at the average human level at his age it took him around an hour to complete the required distance.
*DING*
[Quest complete
Run 2.5km/day
Reward 200LP]
On his return home he orders his breakfast from the canteen that is within the community before heading home. After that he did the rest of the daily quest of push ups and sit ups before showering. Today he is planning to go to the library again for the computer usage so he could complete the work quest and generate more life points but this time he decided he would focus on his website job of fixing codes.
So not much happening throughout the day as Nan'Ke went about his business working for 8 hours at the library completing about twenty level 1 task on the website. Today he generated 1,100LP just by doing his daily task but he was still short of the amount required for his computer. Not bothered in the slightest the day came to an end and he went to bed.
Two days later.
The last two days were the same for Nan'Ke, he only did his daily quests and work for 8 hours. He has generated another 2,200LP bringing his current total to [30,702]in these two days as well as increasing his level in the 'fix bugs now' website to level two completing twenty-four level 1 task making it fifty-four level 1 task in total, earning him an income of $7,920(44*180.00) in the last three days alone. He would only focus on task that were quick to solve and a monetary reward of $180.00 after fees.
[Quantum Programming has risen to level 4]
[Quantum Programming: level 4 (1,250/5,000)]
(A/N: He did 10 task at Attaché Hotel before, the 44 is what he completed at the library during his visits)
Now he was in his bedroom readily purchasing his computer 'Buy laptop from the shop'
[Custom Build PC purchased successfully]
Then a sleek all black laptop materialized in-front of him covered with reddish-like light. After it was fully materialize he held it in his had like it was a child, a proud smile was etched onto his face. Admiring the symbol or logo that on the laptop, which was 'ZNK' he nodded seeing this as his key to a successful life where he would not be under any one's control or he not would not end up being a casualty of someone's else's actions.
(A/N: He is no NPC)
Sitting at his desk he powered on his computer ready to take action in his plan, the computer already have the necessary accessories like chargers, cables etc. while he also install the internet a day ago in preparation for his laptops arrival with fast internet speed he could get. He first logged on to the local police station website and exploited a bug in the code before gaining access to the back door he had put into the stations server.
This server housed the various records of criminal arrest and case files, it also posses dossiers on persons of interest. Nan'Ke first goal however, was checking on the case matter of the human trafficking ring and the laptop he had hacked into. He notice that the the files he uploaded were missing as well as anything related to him being the one who uploaded it. He then check the logs and noticed that the it was the chief of police who had access and deleted the evidence.
'Damn, so chasing me out of the station was his way of protecting me, and all this time I thought people were after me it seems I was free thanks to him.' Nan'ke surmised.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Mind_Medicine
Mind_Medicine Chapter 8- So yes I'm not particulary verse on hacking and programming, I did some reaserch but I can't really comprhend the topic so I would just used superfical actions when he hacks to not get the terminology wrong for those that are experts in the field. Also updates may get slower a tad bit as I work out his first direction a bit more- I was recently inspired by the tv show Blacklist, especially Reddington information intelligence empire so I think the Mc woulod start there first.
