I Make Money Every Second(IMMES)

Combat Power

Pinterest Inc. headquarters, San Francisco, California

Jeremy King, the current CTO (Chief Technical Officer) was going through some of the files in his office when his assistant burst into the room. Jeremy frowned at this immature-ish behavior.

"What's the hurry? You should be more calm and knock before you enter."

"Sir, you should check this out.", Ashley replied while hurriedly passing him an iPad.

Jeremy frowned but still held the iPad and started reading the email displayed on the screen. The more he read, the more his face paled.

Being the Chief Technical Officer of Pinterest Inc., he wasn't some nobody. He very well knew what this email meant.

"Have you guys found who sent the email?"

"It's a guy named Bishal Joshi. We tried to crack his device to check what the mentioned bugs are but the device is inaccessible. We do have his information. We can't crack it. Should we contact Mr. Silbermann?"

Ben Silbermann is the co-founder and current CEO of Pinterest.

"No. Don't disturb him for this small thing. Reply back to Bishal. Say that we are willing to pay the money. He didn't ask for too much anyway, just 25,000 dollars. He obviously doesn't want to do anything messy with this."

"Okay, sir." Ashely nodded while taking the iPad and walking out of the office.

"Ashley?"

"Yes, sir."

"Send him an offer letter too. 200k annual salary plus bonus. Where is this guy from?"

"Sir, it seems he is from Nepal. He doesn't seem that old. Still in college."

"Hmm. Tell we will take care of all the procedures and such if he wishes to come work for."

Ashley then walked out while Jeremy kept looking at the mail that had been forwarded to him. It had 6 high-level bugs along with it's patch while also saying that 2 critical-level bugs had also been found in the Pinterest system and requesting for a total of 25,000 dollars.

If Jeremy hadn't seen the six high-level bugs along with their patches, he would surely think this was a joke because if there were indeed such problems here, it would cost way more than just 25,000 dollars.

While Jeremy was thinking about all this and Bishal was sleeping on his bed, the same scene was being repeated in the other three companies of Facebook, Google and Dropbox.

They had all sent replies and various job offers to Bishal and were patiently waiting for Bishal while Bishal was sleeping.

The next day, 7 AM,

Bishal slowly opened his eyes. He could clearly feel that his eyesight, sense of smell and hearing had improved. Bishal stared at the ceiling for a few moments, thinking back to what had happened yesterday and got up from the bed. Bishal felt his thinking power had increased. It was as if you were using this old ancient PC and then suddenly switched to the modern day super computer.

Bishal could feel a sense of clearness. The scene before his eyes seemed clearer than before. It was as if you were watching a video in 720p before and just switched to 4k display. Bishal noticed that his height had increased. Bishal was originally 5' 8", which was fairly normal among boys in Nepal. After using the serum, his height had increased by 3" in just one night.

His skin had become clearer. The pimples on his face were gone. His face had become more defined and chiseled. Bishal realized something and took off his shirt while standing in front of the mirror.

Bishal was originally a slim fellow. His body didn't seem to have changed much when wearing clothes but there were some serious changes that had happened.

There was no extra fat on his belly. The fat had been replaced with shredded abs. The muscles on the biceps and legs had become more toned while the slightly saggy chest had also become toned and wiry. To explain his body his one sentence, it would be 'Slim while wearing clothes, perfect male body when out of those clothes.'

'Wow, I've become handsome. I've become awesome.'

Bishal went ahead and punched the air a few times. His fists flashed like lightning as he completed at least 10 punches per second. Bishal felt as if he could punch down a wall if he wanted to. It was indeed true. He could indeed do it, if he wanted to.

'System, how strong have I become?'

[Ding.. System Panel updating.. Update complete...]

[Ding.. Host can check his combat power using the system panel.]

'System Panel.'

-----------------System Panel End--------------

'Can I increase my combat power again?'

[Ding.. Host can increase it by learning various close combat skills and martial arts.]

'The human body limit, what does that mean? I have broken the limiter?'

[Ding.. Indeed. The combat power limit of pure human body force is 50. For normal humans, they can only increase their combat power further though learning combat skills and not through physical training. Host has broken the limiter. You can train your body till you reach the next limiter.]

'I have 9 times the physique of normal people. Maybe I should use that identity package.', Bishal though to himself as he squeezed his fists.

Bishal didn't use the identity package just then. He was almost already. 'Let's just wait till some money rolls in.'

Bishal checked his phone and saw the emails that he had gotten from the four companies. Bishal gave a cynical smile as he looked at the job offer letters in his email account. The best offer had surprisingly been provided by Dropbox. They had offered a house, car and a 350k+ annual salary.

It had a lot to do with the fact that Dropbox had the most number of critical-level bugs i.e. seven. Bishal rejected their offers and reported his account number while promising that they would not regret their choices.

Bishal didn't have to wait long. A reply came from the companies saying how the money had been sent. Bishal had already gotten a message that notified him of the transfer. Bishal didn't wait more and sent the patches and bug details to the respective companies along with a message at the end, 'P.S. Don't try and hack me. Your attitude is kind of sickening.'
