Chapter 124: Chapter 124 – Officially Contracted
After Uncle Sam left, Max organized the room to how he fit. The wall near the sliding glass door was nice and had good wallpaper. It was a perfect background for an introduction video. He just needed to set a sofa and a small table next to it as decoration.
Setting the mini camera, he looked at the footage from a hologram screen connected to his smartwatch and nodded, satisfied.
"It looks great. As expected, this place is probably designed for content creators."
Neat decorations and simple interiors could be designed however the owner liked. It was the perfect place for him, a content creator.
'I should look at the roof later. Who knows if it's also the perfect place for parkour?' He was excited. It had been a long time since he did it, and his body was getting better now.
'I wasted my gym membership a little, but it can't be helped. I am still too busy with streaming and stuff.'
The place was set, but that didn't mean he would necessarily record it immediately. It was already 10 AM, and he had another appointment with Mr. Taka. They would meet in the VR world, in Biozone Entertainment's Lobby.
And he currently couldn't do it from his home, as his VR capsule was moved to the new apartment.
"I should go to the gym and use their VR capsule. While at it, I can consult Ava about my current condition to get a new training menu. I hope she's not angry because I skipped so many diet plans and never contacted her…"

Wednesday was a slow day in Galaxy Gym. It was almost empty because it was a working hour. Max was able to secure a VR capsule for himself easily.
Entering the VR world, he was waiting in Biozone Entertainment's Lobby. Mr. Taka had already given him the code to enter, and they had decided to meet in an Amore Café near the spawn point.
The Lobby was massive, complete with the one-on-one replication of the HQ and many other tall buildings, which were Biozone Entertainment's branch. Many people worked in this place from their homes.
A café and a fancy bar were also built for the employees to meet their clients. Virtual reality made everything easier and cheaper, as if they had a free world they could create themselves. Of course, the cost of running a Lobby like this was also massive.
Sitting on the corner, right under an ambient light, Max, who was dressed in a suit, was drinking a hot cocoa. He could taste its sweetness and bitterness, just like he was drinking in the real world. Biozone really put a lot of effort into creating this Lobby.
'I should've done this sooner. I can drink and eat as much as I want here, and it won't affect my real body.' He thought as he put the hot cocoa back on the table. 'Well, after meeting with Mr. Taka, I should get some exercise in the gym again. I shouldn't slack off anymore.'
The soft music accompanying the ambiance light from the live orchestra performance by NPC gave this café a calming atmosphere.
After waiting for a while, as the analog clock near the café's counter showed 11 o'clock, the door was opened, and a man with glasses entered. He was Mr. Taka, and his expression brightened as he spotted Max in the corner.
"Hello, Breeze. Hahaha, it's been 3 days since we last met. How are you?"
"Haha, I've been well, Mr. Taka."
Max stood up and shook hands with Mr. Taka before sitting back again after him. He smiled at his possibly new boss.
"And maybe I am a little bit tired. I am not used to the stares I get after my face is shown on the billboard. I never thought Biozone Entertainment would advertise it that much."
"Oh, has it already aired in your area?" Mr. Taka raised his eyebrows, interested in what Max told him.
"The billboard really helped our promotion, especially since the model is the SR test world record holder this time, and our superiors are satisfied with the result. Thanks to that, I have good news. There was almost no backlash when I brought up the matter of your contract again. Everyone approved."
"Really?!"
Max was worried that there might be a problem with his contractual process because he was a newbie. But apparently, he didn't need to worry about that anymore.
"Yes." Mr. Taka confirmed, "There will be some difference in your contract compared to the others for the first year. We can renew the contract after that after observing the result. It will be a support offer and a guarantee of an ads contract for our newly released game. Please, look at this."
A hologram screen with a contract written in it appeared in front of Max. It was basically the same as Flexy had guessed already, and the benefits and prohibitions were also written.
Max scanned the contract carefully and was satisfied with the clause. He nodded and looked at Mr.Taka.
"We can proceed to the signing, Mr. Taka. I am really satisfied with the terms and conditions."
'Especially since I would be given free games every time Biozone released a new one and can join the beta tester if I want to. Not to mention, I would also get a priority to be invited to any of their program and video segments. Though that priority is the lowest among 24 other streamers.'
However, that means he would always be in the top 25 of the list that Biozone would invite. It gave him more leeway and chances to be invited.
Not to mention that it was only a priority. If there was a program that suited him best, he would definitely be invited first. For example, to test the new games they would release in the summer that Mr. Taka mentioned that night.
"That's great!" Mr. Taka exclaimed excitedly—a big smile formed on his face. "Please wait for a while. I will call the lawyer to finish the contract procedure. He will arrive in a few minutes."
"Please, take your time." Max chuckled in amusement at Mr. Taka's hurried figure. It was as if the marketing team leader didn't want someone else to snatch him.
The lawyer arrived just a few minutes after he was contacted, and they proceeded to sign it. And just right after Max signed the contract and it was official, he was surprised by an announcement in his head.
Ding!
<The streamer has signed a contract with a large company!>
<A congratulatory reward has been sent to the streamer's house. Work hard.>
<A huge achievement! The penalty for the previous failure has been lifted.>
<Greatest Streamer System is Online>
Signing the contract might be the best decision Max had ever made since he got his past memory back.
