"Let's choose the same car, What do you think? Look at the car, same model but different color." Ann said as she pointed the
"Right? I was thinking the same thing! What about you, Roj?" Yumi asked
"Let's include Nyx. There are 4 so we can all have the same car, what do you think?" Rojean said as she wanted Nyx to have the same with them even though he was the one buying it
"Yeah let's do that Hehe let's inform him after he is done looking," Yumi said with a happy smile as she looked at Nyx who was looking around
—
"So, what kind of car do you guys choose?" Nyx walked toward the girls who were sitting in the longue waiting for him to finish looking
"You done? We don't know much about these things, so we decided to pick the same car. There" Yumi pointed at the cars that were on display and it was a Ferrari "same models but with different colors, that's 4 so buy one also for yourself so we can all have the same car" Yumi continued.
"Oh, okay. Boss, can you arrange the papers for those cars, also that one sitting alone, i want it"
'What the hell?! Are you buying candy?!" the dealer who greeted them earlier thought to himself
"That was a 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider GTS for 370,000 USD and a 2019 Lamborghini Aventador S for 960,000 USD. 1,480,000 for four Ferraris and 960,000 for a Lambo, a total of 2,440,000 sir"
They sign documents before asking the shop to deliver it to their address. After that, they bought clothes, bags, watches, and many more.

"Sir, we have already paid our debt. Now the Philippines is debt-free. The Department of Public Works and Highways has hired many engineers to start fixing and expanding roads. A ghost project is being funded again to begin the work, but the expenses are ten times higher than usual because of the many workers we hire and the rushed work"
"Because of the threat of Null, public workers were doing a great job. Because of it, many processes were being done faster. Those who still accept bribes were being reported immediately"
The president's secretary said with a smile. They have dreamed of this day, and it is happening
"Good good. A few days will be my state of the nation address, be more prepared and we will announce many more changes"
—
"Many police were visible these days huh"
"Not surprising. Things have changed for the better, we are slowly being proud again to be a Filipino" an old man said
"What do you think the next move the government will make?" asked the young man
"Not sure but i think they will strengthen the military power of the Philippines"
"That will be great. Being threatened in our own territory was hard to swallow"
"Let's see, the president still has 3 years to change more things"
—
"Good morning, my fellow Filipino. There have been many changes that have happened over the last 3 months and it's for the better. I will announce what move the government will make for the new year to come"
Firstly, the military personnel, who currently earn 800 monthly will receive a fivefold increase, raising their salary to 4,000. We will initiate mass recruitment within the next few days, those individuals who did not attend college may apply to study for two years, after which they will begin their service to the nation. Rest assured, my fellow Filipinos, that applicants will still receive a monthly salary of 2,000.
Regarding the Philippine police, the same requirements as those for the military apply. However, for existing police officers, we have decided to exclude those who are not physically fit. A three-month period will be granted to attain physical fitness, failure to do so will regrettably result in disqualification. There will also be an investigation to determine whether any misconduct occurred during your service.
Public servants working within the government sector will be strictly monitored. Those who abused their authority or hindered Filipino access to documents will be removed and blacklisted from potential employment in any government capacity.
Secondly, we are commencing the construction of numerous hospitals across various locations to provide free healthcare services to the public. As the world's largest exporter of nurses, I do not intend for us to remain in this position indefinitely. Soon, nurses will be able to return home and enjoy better remuneration here. We request your continued patience.
Thirdly, we will sever all diplomatic ties with other countries and concentrate solely on our own nation. While trade will persist, alliances and other international commitments will be terminated. Starting today, the Philippines will leave its comfort zone, as we have historically relied on foreign assistance during times of disaster."

In a certain island in the Philippines, exactly in the West Philippine Sea, Nyx was standing alone on the shores of the island. It was an isolated island but there were still many families living here until Nyx's request to move them out
The President issued an order that the island is to be evacuated. Of course, the people living there are thoroughly compensated
Once every soul living here was gone, the president said that what he wanted was finished. As soon as he heard it, he immediately focused on it
"Megtron, can you use your power to make this island a military base? Make a hangar for aircraft, and a runway. Make a shore for the battleships. Make it bigger because this will be the base of those new military weapons"
"I can but that will be expensive boss. 10 million SP will be needed. The system needs to use reality manipulation on a large scale. Need to deepen the shore for the naval ship to be allowed to land. This whole island was 205 square kilometers in total. It will be the biggest military base ever built. Include the materials and machines needed to operate"
Nyx thinks for a moment before deciding to do so.
"Megatron, convert 30 million metric tons of gold and 30% of the precious stones then begin the construction of the base"
"30 million metric tons…. success. 67,000,000 SP. 30% of precious stones…. Successful. 60,000,000. Total, 133,597,000! Note: the system sells low-quality gems. Some have higher quality and rarity of tens of millions SP"
(basically, he dumped all those useless gems. 30% of the gems he sold are nothing compared to other gems that a single gem can price at a million SP)
"CONSTRUCTING STARTS…."
Nyx looks at the changes happening in front of his eyes. Sea waves became heavier because the rocks had vanished making it deeper. Airstrips and Hangar Facilities, Naval and Dockyard Infrastructure, Accommodation and Living Facilities, Logistics and Maintenance Hubs, Fuel Storage and Supply Command, Control, and Security, and lastly, Utilities
One after another, the island is transforming non-stop until it is officially a military base.
"Remaining 123,597,000 SP"
Nyx looks at the massive military base, which now looks empty but later it will be filled with many military equipment and vehicles
"Now, let's buy advanced weaponry. We don't need many kinds of those if one can do everything."
"Megatron, give me a suggestion for a fighter jet, escort drone, and rescue aircraft. Let's focus on the Air Force first before we move to the other sector of the military"
With this move, he will fulfill his past wish. Now that he can almost do anything, he is excited for the future. In a span of 4 months, the changes were unreal if you look at it from another perspective

"President, we should get going now. The last ship had already departed"
A lady with glasses holds a list in her arms. It was a checklist of the ship that left. She was puzzled because of the moves they were making
"Let's go then. He must be waiting for us" the president turned his gaze at the army generals he was bringing with him. There are 5 of them, the highest authority in the military except for him
"Yes sir. The helicopter was already ready" one of the generals said as he led the president to the chopper. After he got in with his secretary, the general move to another helicopter where his colleague was waiting for him
He hopped in and the helicopter flew following the presidential helicopter
"Santos, do you know where we're going?" asked another general.
Santos was the one who sent off the president and one of the trusted generals he had.
"Military equipment. That's the only thing the president informed me" Santos replied. Even he was in the dark about where they were going
"35,000 military personnel. 8,000 air force, 12,000 navy, 10,000 army, and 5,000 coast guard." one of the navy generals said
"Not only that, all of them were selected and are among the best in their fields. By the way Cruz, what's going on with your navy these days? China has kept entering our territory ever since the president cut ties with our alliance" an army general named Flores asked the navy general
"Not only China, but even other countries such as Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Brunei are doing the same. We can't even prevent them because our equipment is outdated. Even our ships were getting rusty because of old age" Cruz didn't answer but the head of the coast guard did who is named Garcia, did. They were always in coordination with the Navy because of the security at sea
"One step at a time, Garcia. Now we are getting and getting better. Give the president time to stabilize the country first" Santos said. He was also a general in the army like
"Lucky for us, we got new equipment. But still lacking compared to other countries. The US has sold 2nd-hand aircraft but most of them were not in good condition. Luckily this corrupt is either dead or in prison" Reyes, an air force general said as he slightly complained
"Since the announcement of the president, how is our recruitment going?" Army General Flores asked
"Previously, when the president hadn't announced the mass recruitment, we only had 155,000 active duty and 400.000 reserve personnel. But when the president announced the salary increase and the benefits the family would receive, they overwhelmed us with applicants.
On the day it was announced, 3.5 million applications were received: 35% were undergraduates willing to take schooling, 40% were reserve personnel, 15% were OFWs, and the rest were from various other job sectors wanting to join.
And it was still increasing after it was announced 4 months ago. I don't know where the president recruited those 195 teachers but they are demons. They drill the new blood until they can't move anymore" Santos was the one who handled the recruitment
That's right, Null became the teacher of those recruits. After their mission was complete, Nyx informed the president about it and readily agreed.
He knew that Null was the doing of Nyx and also knew that he was a powerful person. Not wealth-based power but truly power.
To be truthful, he was scared at first but still trusted his instinct. He observed his movement but eventually trusted him completely.
He reasoned that if he were powerful enough to do all that and turn evil, he couldn't prevent it at all that's why he just trusted the kid and treated him like his
They may not see each other often but he always talks to Nyx about the plans he will do next. But Nyx only said what he will do and the president still thinks of his ways to improve it
"2020 will be the surge of military personnel. Many will graduate and begin their duties." General Cruz said with excitement in his voice
"Alas, if only our lack of equipment were also eliminated, we could begin to protect ourselves against other countries. Being bullied for a long time, our people accept it without fighting because we are a poor country and can't lift our head high because of it" Reyes said, with slightly teary eyes
They serve their country despite the hardship they experience. When they were young soldier and doing fieldwork, they often encountered terrorists. The hardest part was that the terrorists had a position on the government that let them off even though they killed people
It's like playing games but your enemy uses cheats. They can't attack because of human rights, they can because they are terrorists. Even the famous university that the government funded every year, it became a breeding ground for terrorists pretending to be fighting for their people but in reality, they were protecting the terrorists under human rights and getting paid to rally
"The day will come. That group is already at the top of the mountain hiding with the rest of the terrorists thanks to Null. They abandon their political power, afraid that they will also die but also afraid of being in prison" Coast Guard head Garcia commented
"But i have a question. I was puzzled about where the president got all the budgets to do all this. Paid the country debt, funded the Department of Public Works and Highways 10x to finish those ghost projects and fix all the roads across the land. No he even increased the salary of the police and military. Not only that, but he was building a hospital in every town. That alone was hundreds of billions" Navy General Cruz asked
He's not the only one in fact even the senator and vice president or even his citizens, didn't know where it was coming from. It was doing well, that's why no one bothered to ask, but they didn't forget it either
They all look at Santos. They thought he knew something but to their disappointment, he didn't know it either
"Don't ask me, like you, I'm also in the shadow. Only the president knows. Maybe in the near future, we will know but for now, let it be" Army General Santos said while shrugging his shoulder
"Generals, look!" The pilot who was controlling the helicopter was utterly shocked by what he was seeing
The General looked at the window of the helicopter and was also shocked. The whole island became a military base. No, the island was the weapon itself
Fighter jets lining up on the runway, even the thousands of hangars can't fit them. Not only a jet, but also a helicopter, a rescue helicopter, and an escort drone
"What the hell?! Thousands of jet fighters are there! What base is this? Us base?" Airforce general reyes shouted
"Those are aircraft carriers, and there are many of them! Is that a submarine?! But why is it so much bigger? Battleship damn! I don't know what kind of ship they are. They look more advanced than anything I've ever seen." Navy General Cruz almost choked when he was speaking with astonishment
"Tanks, medical vehicle, multiple missile launcher, Armored scout Car, infantry fighting vehicle, military transport truck, reconnaissance vehicle! How many are they?!" Army General Flores was like the two, shock, excitement, and puzzlement
