You're probably asking what tick() returns, right? Well, tick() is a ROBLOX built-in function that returns the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch (January 1st, 1970), on your computer. What do I mean with on your computer.? This will depend on how your computer's date is set. If you're looking for starting on with stuff like for example a daily reward system, you should check os.time() instead. using tick() will cause unwanted results as people can change their date to receive the reward and going on and on.
