Chapter 737 - 737 Plans
"Hmmm... This place is not bad at all." Our bored gamer commented once he arrived at his new house. The abode was priced at 10 million diamond blyders and Clark bought it in cash.
He also made an urgent hiring for servants online which he expected to arrive in the following days. After all, he did not like to go out in order to have his meals.
It was more convenient for him to wake up with hot delicious food waiting for him at the table.
Clark used the luxurious amenities of his mansion and swam in his personal swimming pool in leisure.
"DING!"
"DING!"
"DING!" More than 30 minutes later, the first business of the day knocked at the cell phone of our very own protagonist.
"Yes?" Clark answered while free floating in the pool. It was curious to see that his phone has now been levitating over his head with its speakers turned on.
"Is this Mr. Albert Hayes?" A man replied on the other end of the line.
"Yup." Our bored gamer lazily responded.
"Good morning, Mr. Hayes! This is Dennis Gill from New Dawn Records. We would like to ask if you are interested in selling the rights of your song i wish you were mine again to us?"
Dennis said directly. He did his research and knew that our bored gamer was practically broke at this time.
With the age of the internet, it was very easy to find the present status about an actor like Albert Hayes. Thus, he was certain that this would be a simple purchase for him.
Unfortunately, he had thought wrong at this time.
"Sorry. I'm not interested in selling." Clark replied without much thought.
"Mr. Hayes, please don't be hasty in your decision. We're offering 1 million diamond blyders for it. I believe that this would be more than enough to convince you." Dennis Gill countered.
"Nope. I love my own creation. I have no plans in selling it." Clark said and...
"BEEP!" The line went dead thereafter.
"I want you to take my calls from now on, Nancy. Deny those that want to buy the song but entertain those who wish to buy its license. It's free money after all."
Our good gamer instructed. He did not like to be meddled with petty things like this over and over again.
"Affirmative, host." The system Nancy replied. After that, Clark swam some more. Since he just arrived in this world then there was really no rush to work his ass off.
This care free mentality persisted well until dinner time.
"I need to find myself a good farm for my popularity to grow. Now how should I do that?" Our bored gamer muttered while he was driving his new sports car towards the nearest restaurant.
"I could choose to continue writing songs but that would be too easy for me.
And besides, it would be too strange for someone who could not even write and read notes to just instantly be a master song maker all of a sudden. Then movies should be the way to go."
Clark concluded. He did not even plan to record his only original song in a studio.
"But how should I do it? Do I make a deal with a movie producer?" Our bored gamer continued with this line of inquiry.
It would be too easy to give a mortal to support him since he could easily extend their lifetime to a hundred years or more. This was a win-win situation for both of them.
Clark could of course fund his own movie but that would raise a lot of questions on how he suddenly gained millions of diamond blyders in such a short time.
One should know that it was common knowledge that he was penniless since forever.
"Hmmm... I wonder who's the lucky man or woman tonight?" Clark grinned alongside this question. He could already see the smile on the lucky winner's face later on.

Theo Wood. This was a famous name that had rang soundly in the ears of many for almost 100 years in this world.
He was a renowned movie producer and was the owner of the biggest film company in the world. Even in his advanced age of 103 years old, he was still quite active in his life.
He had goals and continued to enjoy the great business competition even at the cage of his own home only. Traveling all over the world in his age was of course not advisable already.
At this time, Theo Wood was sitting in his home cinema while reminiscing about the good old days when his legs still had a kick in them.
"Time is such a cheat, yes?" A voice woke up the old man from his journey down memory lanes.
"Who are you?! How did you get here?!" Theo Wood was surprised to see an unfamiliar man sitting calmly on his left.
He had servants outside and he did not believe that those would just let anyone inside his private cinema without his say so.
The old man blinked again and realized that the man's face was covered by burning fires of magic. He doubted whether he was already senile, crazy or both at this time.
"Who I am is not important. What matters more is what I can do for you." Our bored gamer replied.
He then flicked a finger and time seemed to rewound unto the mortal body of Theo Wood. The lost strength of youth came back but his old wrinkles and aged skin remained the same.
Clark was of course not foolish to provide such an obvious tell to the change.
"WHAT?!" Theo Wood was shocked when the usual aches on his body receded. He tried standing up without his cane and he found out that he could do that quite easily.
He jumped and then wildly ran like a child around the many rows of seats in the cinema. Theo enjoyed this kind of freedom that his body could no longer afford to give him.
"This is not possible!" Theo Wood exclaimed at the end of his experiment. It seemed like he returned again back into his prime.
"Ohhh... Nothing is impossible, boy. Nothing is.." Our bored gamer chuckled and was amused at the happiness of one very old but lucky man.
