Everything overnight

Malik upon waking up the next morning noticed several changes. The most prominent being he was jacked. Not a complete muscle beach meat head sort of way, but he was now cut in less obvious ways with the right clothing. He could also feel a quiet strength deep in his muscles one that could easily be controlled and accessed as needed. Picking up a tea cup did not destroy the tea cup from his grip strength though he feel he could easily crush the cup in his hand. Picking up 50 pound sack of feed same thing different tone he could toss the bag effortlessly a good distance in the air and catch it with hardly any strain. That being a feat he would normally not try with out the system as the one time he did it he regretted it for days.

Malik also found he could tolerate the Texas heat and Houston humidity far better. It still clung to him like a damp wash cloth of course as did his cloths given enough time, but it did not bother him as much. The daily also changed. It reduced the reward considerably now only awarding 2 free attribute points. The 10 must have been some sort of first time completion bonus or something. Either way unless he got access to more quests he was in for a rough weeks end.

It was at this time that he recalled he had not completed the other quest yet. "Right a weapon well thankfully I am in Texas even in Houston it is easy to get some of those. However I think I should avoid firearms the ammo will be a bitch to get after shit goes south and it will basically rot away." He says as he drives to a well know shop in Tomball that specializes in tactical gear and to boot he is even on good terms with the old man running the operations.

"Sup Tom, I know I know this place is not for looking, but I just had a killer Idea for a side hustle. I am going to start making yotube videos. I figure showing off some of the tactical gear you stock would be a big hit to boot." Malik says a sly smile on his lips at the older black man.

The older man just grins back shacking his head and says, "Only if you buy enough Okafor. I may have known your real father and he was like a brother to me making you like a nephew. However at the end of the this is a business."

"Sure thing Tom lets see I would like one of those tactical plate carriers you know that custom rig you made? The one that you made pants for. I would like plates for them as well the sturdy steel kind not ceramic. A steel Riot control shield. Oh and could you throw in that tactical breaching hammer as well?" Malik lists off his desired purchase as he calculates how much it will set him back after all he was working from his savings at least for now.

Tom did not know what to make of it the order easily came to a reasonable profit and he was not afraid to do a good discount on this sale. "Yeah yeah sure um... lets see $1,200 will be good that is a solid price son. I look forward to see what you do with them." He lets out a dry chuckle as Malik pays in full with a debt card, "Good looks like things are in order any thing else old Tom can do for you son?"

"Yeah I would like you to arrange for 5 more sets of the body armor. Make them adjustable and for a female frame I thinking of making them gifts for my family. Dont worry I am not touching my inheritance, Tom, I know your worried about that this is from my own earnings. Plus I think it would be a great prank to get the twins back given they are going off to college." Malik says with a chuckle tapping his temple.

Tom squints at first when he hears this order, but calms down when he hears that it is for and laughs heartily himself. "They still owe you that favor huh? So your going to make them wear that get up their first day or something? It will certainly make a statement specially since they are looking at those liberal colleges. Want me to touch them up with some obvious fake police tags? nothing illegal mind you, but enough to make get a rise out of the other students?" He suggests as he motions toward the product in question. A popular civilian purchase for faking out friends or playing swat on a paintball course.

"I am not looking to get them killed Tom. Just looking to do a joke. You know those places are no joke when it comes to police." Malik says and Tom nods in agreement, "Any way I have a busy day got to get other things in order for the video." Malik then collects the cases Tom had been preparing that hold the tool, carrier and plates. The shield was its own stand alone thing and would be an overly bulky carrying case. He takes it to his truck and sets it in the back cabin. He then opens the weapons case and pulls out the breaching hammer and holds it.

A second later there is chime in the back of his head and he is notified that he has completed his quest "Arm yo self foo" and that the rewards have been paid out. He checks his stats page again and see a 5 in the available points area. He leaves these unassigned for now as he heads out for the other shop. A local hobby smith that is known for quality work in Tomball. Though the guy was a piece of work at least as far as Malik was concerned.
