《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 108: The Second Job 3
Advertisement
[In many sports just having the stats as you will be in the future you could win a gold medal in the Olympics, it is not that these sports do not require different talent or techniques, but rather that you would be far above the others.]
[A good example of this would be weightlifting or other tests that require strength in the Olympics, even though all these sports also require training and techniques if you have two or three times the strength of an opponent you would win.]
[So although I say that you can have all the jobs you wanted and could do whatever you wanted, there are some things that I hope you do not do for your conscience, after all, you should not do things when you know you have an advantage unfair.]
[But you can still participate in another sport besides basketball, I just hope you do not overdo it, but by taking the sports you have no problem to have other jobs, and having a job can also help you to better accomplish the things that you do have to do.]
[Depending on the job you choose you may even gain new skills or reveal and train some of your hidden stats, luck, for example, was a hidden statistic that is only shown now because it is at its maximum.]
[So I recommend that you do this from what you want to do a job, so you can have some help since this system exists only for the purpose of helping you to be happy.]
After the system said this he realized that he was thinking too much, really if he got new skills to invest it would mean that he could have more success and less risk in that.
Jake also understood what the system was worried about if he used his knowledge of the future to become rich and did not interfere in the development of the companies the most that would happen is that people become less rich in the future.
But the system already warned some things that Jake could not do as try to bet on the lottery and now use his statistics to be the best in several sports, if he bet the lottery with his luck that was at most would have a great chance of him winning and this would make all lottery raffles after that give different results.
So he would be directly affecting the future with that, and as the system said, if he had a dream of winning a medal at the Olympiad he could just pick a sport, it would be unfair if he won in several sports just because he can.

"So I'll choose as my second job Businessman."
[Okay, so this is decided, your second job will be Businessman, I already made your new statistics window you want to see?]
"Yes, show me, please."
[Here it is]
--------------------------------
[Name: Jake Smith]
[Age: 13 years]
[Job: Businessman]
[Intelligence 54]
[Luck 99]
[Charm 24]
[Leadership 18]
[Policy 4]
[Eloquence 27]
--------------------------------
Active Techniques
[See Through]
[Business Vision]
---------------------------------
So he can see that it really was different from his basketball player statistics window, several of his other stats were hidden, now he understood what the system meant by hidden statistics.
The system only shows the statistics that are necessary for the job he will do, such as to be a businessman he did not need physical statistics the system took out all, just as for a basketball player it is not essential to know politics or have charm.
But he would like to have static leadership as a basketball player too, even so, he understood what the system meant, he also had far fewer skills than as a basketball player.
[Now I'm going to explain a few things about your statistics, charm, politics, leadership, and eloquence, all these statistics are needed for your second job, politics is a statistic you might not need to use if you only work with investments, but as an entrepreneur, you might need.]
[The other statistics are present in several other jobs as well, charm is a statistic that shows a characteristic of attracting people, can help both your posture, your face, your voice and even your look, your appearance counts a lot for its charm too, is a statistic that can make people trust you more too.]
[Leadership is a statistic that works very well with the charm, shows how you have control of the situation and your confidence too, can help in basketball too even though it does not show up in your first job statistics window, I already said about it all has these statistics only that is not shown in numbers.]
[Eloquence also works well with charm and leadership, is the statistic that allows you to better express what you think and can also convince people or even deceive people.]
[And these statistics, as well as intelligence, do not have a person-to-person pattern, they've had people with 80 of charm or leadership in history, it's hard to compare, but it might help a lot in your work.]
[Skills, as you've seen, are active, that means just that you have to think about the skill and focus on them to activate, unlike those in basketball these skills do not have ranks, and they're just to help you.]
Advertisement
[See Through is a skill that lets you know if a person is speaking the truth or lying, can be used at any time, but you have to concentrate before the person speaks to know if it is true or false.]
[Business Vision is a skill that lets you know if a business is going to work or not, this skill has a limitation, you have to have enough information about the company and that skill can only say it within 3 years after you have to use the ability again.]
[In addition, this ability also can not tell why the company is going to work or why it will fail, a company can have a lot of profit and even though its actions fall for some reason, so the skill is not perfect.]
Even with the system saying this would already be a great help to have these skills, he would have to be careful with the first skill, or after a while, he would become suspicious of all people, this should only be used with yes or no, so there would not be much room for error.
Jake was very happy with this ability, he can also understand that with the system even if he chose to do something other than basketball he could have succeeded, even so, this job was only to secure his future, then he would still try to play basketball even if he has problems like those of now.
After all, he promised before he died that one day he would be an NBA champion, and as Jake got a second chance he wanted to do everything he could, as well as form a family, if he found a woman who loved him, he would marry her even if he had then to fight for this love.
So Jake went to bed happy to have gotten help from the system on what he would have to do now.
The other day in the morning Eva saw that Jake was very happy, she was happy with that too since Jake decided she would leave the basketball team although he sometimes smiles as mother Eva knew that Jake was not really well, he was sad because he could not do what he liked.
"What happened, Jake, you look really happy today."
"It's nothing, Mother, today after school, I'm going to have to go to Joseph's house all right?"
"Of course it's okay, I'm glad you're with your friend long after you've left the team."
Jake just smiled, he and Joseph were close friends, after that they were like brothers, but Joseph was very fond of studying and so they did not go out together because of this when Joseph was not studying Jake he was busy with other things.
But even so, they were as friends as others who went out together all the time, today Jake would go to Joseph's house to talk to Oliver about the things he asked for, as Jake was trying to keep his mother's investments secret, as Oliver calls his house to talk about it.
Jake was eager to start investing, after all, what he remembered in the future the company's stock appreciated very quickly, from 1990 until the bubble burst, so Jake did not want to waste months when his money could be increasing.
As Jake said, he would not invest all the money, but it was not because he was afraid that it would not work, but because he had to save money for an emergency that could happen, after all, it would be a waste to sell valuable stocks in a hurry just because he needed money.
Jake also did not think about becoming a billionaire and joining Forbes, he just wanted to make money so he would never have to worry about running out of work again, and that would not be difficult, if he just left his money there for a few years he would be a millionaire with the gain of the shares.
In addition, Jake needed to show that he knew what he was doing with investments, so when he talked to Matthew about changing his company business he could be treated as an equal and not a child, that would be the only way to save the company from Matthew of Bankruptcy.
Jake had also thought for months about what he would do with his money, and if it worked out he would be a millionaire even if he did not want to, but that would take several years at least, so Jake wanted to get it all done now.
So he could only worry about basketball in the future.
