The courier arrived two days later, the shipping box he delivered giving no hint of the N1.85 million device nestled inside. Daniel signed for it, took it straight to his room, and locked the door before even opening the outer packaging.
Unboxing was a sacred art and one shouldn't be disturbed while doing it.
Lifting the lid off the sleek phone box revealed the 15 Pro Max, its natural titanium finish catching the light with a subtle sheen. It felt lighter yet more solid than his previous phone, the contoured edges more comfortable in his hand.
He spent the better part of the evening meticulously setting it up. Powering it on, seeing the familiar Apple logo illuminate the larger, brighter Super Retina XDR display felt like a significant moment. He transferred his data seamlessly from the iPhone 13 Pro using the quick start feature. The first app he installed, before even logging into his Apple ID, was Money Hack, downloaded securely via a private browser tab using the original source file he kept backed up. He logged in with his complex password, the dark interface appearing instantly, looking even sharper on the new screen. He then proceeded to set up his primary email, WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps, and other essentials.
The speed difference was noticeable; apps opened instantly, scrolling was smoother, everything felt more responsive thanks to the A17 Pro chip. His iPhone 13 Pro was relegated to a new role: monitoring the RF fee account, handling burner communications if needed, and serving as a general backup.
The upgrade wasn't limited to his phone. Daniel felt his workspace needed to match his growing operational needs and, frankly, his growing wealth. He browsed Apple's website, configuring a top-of-the-line 16-inch MacBook Pro. He maxed out the specs: M3 Max chip, 128GB of unified memory, and a massive 8TB SSD. The price tag was astronomical, well over N6 million, but he ordered it without hesitation, paying via an international wire transfer routed through one of his layered PeDan nominee accounts, funded by a precisely calculated MH withdrawal.
He also ordered components for a completely new, custom-built Windows PC powerhouse. Latest generation Intel Core i9 processor, an Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card 128GB of fast DDR5 RAM, multiple terabytes of NVMe SSD storage, all housed in a minimalist case with a high-end liquid cooling system. This would be his workhorse for heavy data analysis (if he ever needed MH to output raw data), running virtual machines, research, and blowing off steam with graphically demanding games at max settings. The components alone cost nearly N4 million.
The peripherals received similar treatment. He replaced his existing dual monitors with two large, high-resolution 4K displays, one of them a high-refresh-rate OLED gaming monitor. He bought a professional-grade microphone for clearer communication if needed, noise-canceling AirPods Max to complement his Pros, a premium mechanical keyboard (a Keychron Q1 Pro), and a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse for productivity. His desk, previously functional, now looked like a high-tech cockpit. He even upgraded his internet plan to the fastest fibre optic connection available in the area.
The deliveries arrived over the next week. Setting up the MacBook Pro was seamless. The Windows PC build took him a full afternoon, carefully seating the components, managing cables for optimal airflow – a task he genuinely enjoyed, a throwback to his pre-MH tinkering days, only now with unlimited budget. Booting up both machines, seeing the displays, and feeling the instant responsiveness was deeply satisfying.
He was finally able to proudly show off his PC setup.
Later on, Daniel used his new setup and started tracking the cumulative profit generated specifically through the RF network within the MH app – a feature he found buried in the admin analytics. He watched the number climb rapidly day by day.
A week or two after launch, it blew past the NGN 3 million milestone, alog with up to a hundred users. Three million Naira skimmed directly into his MH account from the trades generated by his RF users, on top of his own direct MH trading profits. The passive income aspect was truly kicking in. His total MH balance soared, pushing towards N15 million, even after the recent tech splurge. The dual streams were creating exponential growth.
Right now he was leveraging Money Hack, building a system on top of its power.
