Arlan had no choice but to explain the source of the money vaguely. It was still too early to tell his parents about the recent wealth he gained. After all, he was just a construction worker a few days ago and it would be too shocking if they learned that he had earned so much wealth in just less than a week.
After more than ten minutes of explaining, he finally made his mother believe him. He disconnected the call and went to his bedroom. He had a hard time trying to sleep that night because of the recent encounter with Leandro's men.
The next morning, Arlan woke up with a headache. He grabbed his head and massaged his temples in hopes that it could alleviate a bit of the pain. The good thing was that it somehow worked. He got up from his bed and took a cold shower to fully wake up himself. He then brushed his teeth before changing into his training clothes. He planned to do some workout routines this morning to release the lingering tension in his body.
He headed to the gym room and followed the army's military exercise. It was a routine that came along with the 10 years of experience as a super soldier. After an intense workout, he was drenched in sweat. He then grabbed his phone.
[You can now claim your daily reward.]
[Do you want to claim your daily reward?]
[Yes!]
The same prompt appeared on his screen the moment he turned on his phone. He pressed the yes option with a hint of anticipation.
[Congratulations! You claimed 10 red packets!]
[Do you want to open your red packets?]
[Yes]
Arlan's eyes widened when he saw that he got ten red packets. He quickly clicked yes and a series of prompts soon appeared on his screen.
[Congratulations! You claimed a brand new Subaru Forester 2023!]
[Congratulations! You claimed 300,000 pesos!]
[Congratulations! You claimed 2,500,000 pesos!]
[Congratulations! You claimed 50 years of Painting and Calligraphy Experience!]

[Congratulations! You claimed 20 years of Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts Experience!]
[Congratulations! You claimed a brand new Lamborghini Sesto Elemento!]
[Congratulations! You claimed 7% shares of Starbucks!]
Arlan was almost blinded by the things he claimed from the mysterious app. However, the reward that caught his attention was the chance to create an Advanced Artificial Life Form.
Suddenly, foreign memories started appearing in his mind. It played like an old tape, playing repeatedly like a classic movie. The shortest one was the 10 years of cooking experience. All sorts of food recipes and cooking techniques were ingrained in his memory. The next one was the 20 years of Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts experience. Elbow strike, backhand strike, spinning back kick, grappling, and many other fighting techniques were added to his memory. The moment these techniques appeared in his mind, his body also underwent some changes. His shoulders widened, his abs became more prominent, and his biceps and other muscles were now much firmer and filled with strength! The most striking change could be seen in his eyes. He now looked much calmer than before, like a beast who had retracted its fangs and claws! Meanwhile, the 50 years of painting and calligraphy experience soon appeared in his mind. It was the longest experience he claimed from the mysterious app. He was now confident that he could paint a hyper-realistic painting of anything if he had the right materials.
Arlan massaged his temples. The experiences he gained this time were a lot. Though what followed was a bout of dizziness that almost made him fall to the floor.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He turned on his device and stared at the notification. It was from the mysterious app! He quickly clicked it and he was soon directed to a character customization software.
"What is this?" He muttered in surprise. He looked at the top portion of the software and read what was written.
Please create your Advanced Artificial Life Form!
What he saw was like the character customization software in online games. He could change the eyes, nose, and other body parts of the character into any form of his choice!
"So this is the Advanced Artifical Life Form. So it's like a half-human half-robot thing." Arlan was still a bit confused by the concept, but he could understand most of it.
"Should I create a bodyguard with peak body structure?" He muttered as he narrowed his eyes. Although he had gained 20 years of Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts experience, he still felt that it wasn't enough since he was facing a huge drug cartel. If he had a bodyguard who could help him during dangerous situations, his chances of survival would increase.
"Should I create a man or a woman? If I create a muscular and tall man, it would be too conspicuous. If I make a beautiful and sexy woman, it would be too high profile." Arlan was torn between these two.
After ten minutes of racking his brains, he finally decided to create a male bodyguard. Though it was a pity that he couldn't create a beautiful woman, he had to prioritize his safety.
He started customizing the image he had in his mind. The character customization software was so detailed that he was even given the choice to edit the most sensitive parts of the body. After more than forty-five minutes, he finally created a character based on the image he visualized.
[Do you want to create this Advanced Artificial Life Form?]
[Yes!]
Arlan clicked yes.
Suddenly, a metal box that was shaped like a coffin appeared in front of him. When he touched the metal box, he heard a 'clicking' sound and the lid of the metal box slowly opened under his surprised gaze.
Lying inside was a man who was 6'6 ft tall. He had a short army-cut black hair and an ordinary-looking but chiseled face. His figure looked like that of a trained athlete, slightly muscular and built for endurance. He had a slightly tanned skin that was riddled with scars. This man looked like a half-Asian and half-African guy. As for why Arlan added scars to his body, it was to create a strong image that would deter even the bravest of souls.
