ACCESS AND PURCHASE
Buy → Skills → Laptop Desk displayed 18,000 game naira and a 2×2 footprint. Selection did not deduct money; one Place deducted 18,000. The solo tested actions were on the placed desk, distinct from Phone → Hustle's player commission board with Ask and Apply.

MIXED SESSION AND FAILED READBACK
The first IG window showed a 2,500 increase, Hustle 2→3 and a simultaneous wish/star change. There was no itemized cash receipt separating the wish and action, so the amount cannot be called a guaranteed pure IG wage.
Practice Coding was Free. One early action crossed Coding 0→2; initial numeric experience was not measured. Freelance displayed Needs Coding 2 before eligibility and later produced an immediate 5,700 increase with Coding 2→3. A second IG produced an immediate 3,200 increase with Hustle 3→4 and unchanged Goals.
After the controlled restore, 8,900 was missing and Coding 3→0 / Hustle 4→3. The 8,900 equals the Freelance 5,700 plus second IG 3,200, but that arithmetic does not diagnose an internal save mechanism, fee, network cause or repair.
Stars, ordered wishes, the career and the placed laptop remained in that checked comparison. Purchase spending was 18,000; immediate increases totaled 11,400; only the earlier 2,500 increase remained after restore. The retained session net change was therefore −15,500, not the immediate-income net.
Round 02 completion: 2026-10-06T20:13:54Z; the report is dated 7 October. Report date and UTC completion timestamp are separate.

SMALLER CONTROLS
A subsequent Free Coding control retained its checked training after restore; it contained no earning action and did not retest Freelance income.
The later isolated IG window showed a 3,200 increase, Hustle 3→4 and Fun 68→74 while Goals stayed unchanged. A separate restore retained that checked income and the skill readings once.
That success adds narrower evidence beside the mixed-session failure. It does not explain the earlier loss, establish reliable future payouts or prove cross-device persistence. Freelance income had no successful retention retest in these reports.
Round 03 completion: 2026-10-07T01:31:12Z.

COOLDOWNS AND PLANNING LIMITS
Back in 15 min and Back in 8 min were observed remaining cooldown labels, not a measured full cooldown. Action labels such as 14s or 24s were not timed runtimes or a continuous earning cycle.
Scroll Naija Twitter was visible in later menus but not executed in these income checks. A commission listing is not a paid client task. No fixed earnings-by-skill formula or reliable laptop payback period was established.
Use observed retained income only for its named window. Leave uncertain earnings in an optional scenario and do not make the next required bill depend on an unsupported loop.
