The Guy Who Tamed Chickens

Inside the bus, Frey is staring out the window while feeling nostalgic.

Seeing the streets that have been changed in the future looking as they were before, Frey can't help but feel a little emotional.

"Hais… it feels good to be back." He muttered silently.

After looking for a while, Frey took out his phone and looked at the time.

11:36 am.

"It is still early, maybe I should grab something to eat first after I arrive at the city center."

Since he only ate hard bread earlier, Frey is actually still feeling hungry at this time.

The time agreed with the landlord for the house is still at 3pm anyway.

That's to say, Frey still has lots of free time in hand.

Thinking of that, Frey decided to follow his thoughts.

The reason for Frey's ecstasy is none other than the reward money.

Right now, money is what Frey needed the most.

Since every basic human need consumes money, it is really a necessity in life.

For Frey who is really deep into poverty, this is a big hell that could alleviate some of his greatest worries at the moment.

"Even though there's only ₱100,000, this will help me focus on livestreaming for a while."

After saying that, Frey looked at the other rewards on the screen.

"Hmm, 'Transcendent Workout Manual'? What is this?"

At his question, another small transparent screen appeared beside the 'Transcendent Workout Manual'.

[Transcendent Workout Manual]

[Details: A workout routine that could transform a mortal into a transcendent being.]

…

Reading the description, Frey frowned,

"Hmm… What does it mean to turn a mortal into a transcendent?"

"Does it mean like those superheroes in movies? Or a transcendent being as a God?"

Pondering for a while, Frey didn't really get an answer and just stopped thinking about it.

Lastly, on the reward list is the 'Luck +100'.

To be honest, Frey doesn't know what to feel about this one.

Out of the three rewards, this one feels the most illusory.

As we all know, luck is an attribute that some would believe in while some would not.

A formless attribute that could neither be proven by anyone.

And right now the 'Book of Achievement' is directly giving him a certain amount of this luck.

Staring at it for a while, Frey said, "Even though I'm not sure how this will affect me, but since it's luck, I think it will be beneficial to me at least."

With that said, Frey didn't dragged it any further and claimed the reward from the 'Book of Achievements'.

The next second, a set or exercise routine appeared in Frey's mind.

Along with it, some accompanying set of information about the body came into his mind.

For a while, Frey digested the sudden influx of information on his mind, making him pause for a moment.

After that, the phone that's been placed on the table suddenly rang and a message flashed on the screen.

[You have received ₱100,000 on your bank account ending in 0099. Your total balance is 100,250.]

Frey, who has recovered from the information rushed just a few seconds ago saw that and smiled.

He picked up the phone and smiled, "It's here. With this, I will be able to manage for a while as I build up my livestream channel."

Saying that, Frey already started allocating the money in his mind.

While doing so, Frey's eyes inevitably started scanning the house he's living in.

Pausing for a moment, he said, "I guess I should also start looking for a new place now, huh. Living in this place will be pretty inconvenient."

Since this is the slums, it is far from the city center, making it an inconvenience when he has to go and buy certain things.

Anyway, he has money now and can afford a better place, there's no reason for him to continue staying in this moldy place.

With that in mind, Frey didn't want to delay changing houses any longer.

Opening his phone, Frey started browsing a well-known real estate website for a suitable house to rent near the city center.

After looking for a while, Frey finally found an apartment that was to his liking.

"Hmm, this one will do."

The place that Frey found is a small loft type apartment unit that is located just a few minutes away from the city center.

In terms of size, the loft unit could be said to be small.

But since only Frey will be living in it, it is more than enough.

The unit has a kitchen and bathroom with both of them looking really neat and clean.

Most importantly, the reason why Frey chose this place is because of its price.

It only costs 5 thousand pesos monthly!

In this day and age where prices of all things are at an all time high, ₱5,000 is really considered cheap for such an apartment unit.

Especially in this area.

Anyway, now that he found a new place, Frey didn't want to waste anymore time.

He contacted the owner of the apartment through the contact number left on the website and immediately scheduled the time for viewing.

The owner sounded amiable and everything was done within just a few minutes before Frey hung up the call.

Putting down the phone, Frey muttered, "The matter of my new home will be settled later in the afternoon once I meet the owner."

"With that done, I should turn my focus on to other more serious matters."

Saying that, Frey stood up and went to the kitchen.

However, there's only hard bread and water in the kitchen.

Thinking for a second, Frey sat down on an old rotten chair.

Looking at the hard bread in front of him, a smile appeared on Frey's lips.

"Haha, It's been such a long time since I ate food like this."

Muttering such words, Frey started eating his food silently.

Once Frey was done, he took a quick shower and dressed up himself with the most decent pair of clothes that he has.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Frey smiled, "I look a lot better compared to the future me."

After he's done with all preparations, Frey left the house and headed to the nearest bus stop.

Since the place where he lives is a slum, Frey saw a lot of houses that are made up of patched up wood just to have a place to shield them from the rain.

There are also a lot of young kids with dirty faces running around without any slippers.

You can really see that the community around here is a poor one from all of this.

Despite that, you can still see that the smile on the people's faces are real as they live out their lives.

…

Frey exited the slums and stopped at the nearest bus stop.

Not long after, the bus arrived and he rode silently.

After that, he remained silent for the whole ride until the bus stopped at the city center.

(Arrival! We are now at the City Center.)

Hearing that, Frey stood up and stepped off the bus.

After getting off the bus, Frey looked at the bustling city center in front of him.

"This place is still as lively as ever." He said with a smile on his face.

Looking at the various stores here and there, Frey felt relaxed.

In his previous life, a lot of people didn't like him or even hate him because of the things he did and said.

Of course all of those were because of the woman whom Frey trusted.

He was too naive which resulted in that.

Thinking about it now just makes Frey sigh.

Anyway, after walking around, Frey got tired and decided to go to a restaurant to grab something to eat.

Not knowing what to eat, Frey found a restaurant at random and went inside.

Chiling~

"Welcome!"

As he entered, a female staff greeted him with a smile causing him to look at her and smile back.

However, when he did so, surprise flashed past the female staff's face and said,

"Ah! Frey!"

Now it was Frey's turn to be surprised with his name suddenly being called.

He looked at the female staff with uncertainty and asked, "Uhm, do you know me?"

"Huh?"

Hearing that question, the female staff paused for a moment.

Then with a confused face, she said, "What do you mean by that? This is me, Jane, your classmate!"

Frey scratched his head and thought for a moment.

Since it's been a while for him, Frey can't really remember some of the people that he knows around this point in time.

After thinking for a bit, Frey finally recalls who Jane is.

"Ah, right, Jane!"

Jane is Frey's classmate in senior high school.

Jane is from an ordinary family and there's really nothing noteworthy in her.

She is also one of the few people that could be considered as Frey's friend in school.
