The next morning, Bruno woke up and remembered Sarah was returning from the airport. Luckily, her family liked him even though he wasn"t even close to as rich as them. They had asked him to pick them up from the airport even though they could have easily hired a chauffeur. He grabbed his things, got in his Camaro, and drove over to John F. Kennedy International Airport.He arrived at the airport at 10:00 am, and their flight landed at 9:50 am. While waiting for them to come out of the airport, Bruno leaned on the car and continued to explore the functions of the System.
He looked at his own stats.

"System, when did I become level 2?"
[When you finished modifying the Camaro.]
"Can you notify me if I advance a level from now on?"
[Of course host.]
Bruno then looked at the Camaro and examined it.
-------------------------------

Top Speed: 120 mph

- Design
- Modify
(Other Functions are Locked)
-------------------------------
He looked at the Camaro and selected the new Modify option.
-------------------------------
Modify
- Software
- Speed
- Torque
-------------------------------
He chose the software option because no one would notice any immediate changes in the car"s software in a public place like the airport.
The upgrades for software were expensive and went all the way up to $1,000,000 for the most advanced tech. However, Bruno was currently dirt poor with only $1477 so he simply browsed through the options available. In order for him to get a fully self-driving software for this car, it would cost $10000. He decided to save up more money and purchase that software once he had enough money.
-------------------------------
After browsing for some time, Bruno heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw Sarah and her family walking towards him. Sarah came and hugged him while Mr. and Mrs. Rocker watched awkwardly.
Bruno scratched his head embarra.s.singly and said, "h.e.l.lo Mr. and Mrs. Rocker, how was your trip?"
"It was fine, thank you," Mr. Rocker replied. "I heard that you were in a car crash and got sent to the hospital. Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I"m alright now. It was scary though."
Mr. Rocker laughed, "Of course it was scary. You almost died!"
Mrs. Rocker reprimanded her husband. "Are you trying to jinx him!?"
Bruno laughed and brought their luggage to his car. They all looked shocked when they saw it.
"Bruno I thought your car was going to be in terrible shape. How"d you get it fixed and have such a good paint job applied?" asked Sarah.
"The insurance company of the person who crashed into me gave me some money to fix the car" he replied.
Sarah frowned, "It was good that you got your car repaired, but you shouldn"t have gotten such an expensive paint job. You just got kicked out high school and you barely have enough money. That reminds me, what happened at school?"
"George accused me of cheating off of his test even though he was cheating off of mine," Bruno explained.
"I told you that George was bad news!" Sarah was livid. "Why didn"t the school investigate what happened?"
"You know that George comes from a pretty affluent family. I can"t afford to offend him and neither can the school. But don"t worry, I"ve found a job opportunity which can make me a lot of money. What do you think about the paint job, without considering the cost?"
"It"s the best paint job I"ve ever seen. But it must have been extremely expensive."
"Not at all. I painted it myself. A paint job like this only costs around $20 - $30. I could make a business out of this. What do you guys think?"
