STORY

While I love her very much, I have a demanding wife: she likes to fly to Dubai 6 times per week, and can't stand economy class. For the past year, I've managed to rent a private island for the two of us, but the taxes of the item market have been hitting our family hard, and selling my blood isn't as profitable as it used to be. To make things worse, I've recently developed an extreme Xanax addiction, which has been draining my wallet too. Long story short, our money's running dry, and I can't sustain this lifestyle much longer! PI rentals are getting too expensive!

 

It would break my heart to see her sad, so I spent all my merits on awareness, with hopes of finding some stat enhancers! 

 

After 3 weeks, my findings accumulated to less than $100k - that's under 3 hours of a private island. 

 

10:24:50 - 01/12/25 You found a Bunch of Black Roses in the city

10:27:11 - 01/12/25 You sent a Bunch of Black Roses to Lahuapple with the message: you're the light in my life <3

10:28:02 - 01/12/25 Lahuapple sent a Bunch of Black Roses to you with the message: Cornelius sent me nicer ones

 

My mind raced with worry:

  • How will I tell my wife I'm broke?
  • Will she leave me?
  • If she leaves me, will she marry Cornelius from Cyber Force?
  • I've never liked Cornelius...
  • I can't let this happen!

I searched the city one more time, desperate for anything, and that's when something crazy happened:

09:26:00 - 05/12/25 You found a Brick in the city

 

An idea struck me: what if this Brick was actually what we needed all along? What if it was... a sign? 

 

I've adopted the ambitious plan to trade my way from this brick up to a Private Island. Then my wife will surely stay with me - Cornelius has nothing on a Private Island owner!

 

RULES

  • I can't trade anything other than what I've gained from the trading
  • No money, only items
  • No free donations: everything must be traded
  • Every trade will be posted on this forum

 

Every journey begins with a small step, and I'm ready to hear your offers for this brick!

10:51:01 - 05/12/25 You used 25 energy anonymously attacking Nicio9 and mugged them for $14,966 (chain #1) [view]

 

I'll trade this for 20 bricks.

Can't wait for the unwanted message asking if I'd like to trade a sack of shit for a slightly more valuable sack of shit.

Also your wife deserves better than someone with $1bil NW who can't somehow afford Xanax and PI rent. I've almost never had a good spouse for PI rental and even I was able to afford keeping up with it and taking 3 Xanax a day, even with points for a while!

This thread would have been better if you had actually done it already and could give an entertaining report, as it stands right now it's a lot of nothing hence the hostile nature of the replies.

So torn will still be around in 10 years and finally the 100min format was adopted. I suppose the future isn't as bleak as it always seems
