Chapter 176 175. The Menu

Shane was forced to face reality as soon as he stepped off the bus. Even though Hope had prepared enough, she hadn't been able to prepare enough money to even eat something.

He got off the truck with the girl on his back and thanked the driver before staring at the street filled with people. He wondered if he would have to steal some money again. His eyes narrowed as he started walking.

Perhaps he should resort to begging. But when he thought about Hope's condition, he sighed as his heart turned even more frustrated.

How troublesome!

He didn't want to deal with it at the moment. Should he just go ahead and destroy this world instead? Didn't Hope say that was his mission in this world?

Since he didn't have any other idea about why he was here, he could only trust her words. He placed Hope's body in a dark alley and surrounded it with garbage so that others couldn't find her even if they tried.

Since she wasn't going to wake up anytime soon, he might as well just go ahead with the mission and destroy this world. In any case, the system world had ended already, and he didn't think he would go back there again. If possible, he would like to be reborn as Shane Cooper in his previous life.

He only wanted to be an ordinary college student. Nothing else.

He hummed a tune as he walked around the street in a normal shirt and trousers. He looked like a normal man who had been heading to work at this time. So no one glanced at him.

Girls only turned their heads toward his body because he was particularly handsome. But other than that, nothing was different.

This was a particularly normal society. So to destroy this world, he would have to force the government to start a war. Now, how should he do that without the menu?

Shane paused his steps as he narrowed his eyes. He had tried to open his menu after entering this world several times in the prison already, but he failed. But he wouldn't believe that the system menu had disappeared just like that.

Even if the entire company ended up getting destroyed, the programs and software it had developed in the past would still remain in the database because they were saved on the server, not in the company itself.

If only he could retrieve the files, he would be able to open the menu. The thing is, how could he do it?

The first thing that came to mind was a computer. He could search for the server first.

Fortunately, he had spent enough time with Hope to be able to understand the basics of the server that worked to maintain all the menus in the system world. He dashed into an internet cafe and launched a program. He typed a few words in a different coding language that wasn't known to anyone else. Soon enough, the entire computer fell into a glitch before it turned off.

Shane waited for a moment as he saw the screen turn on again.

A familiar menu appeared on the screen. Seeing that, the corners of his lips curled up to form a smile.

Finally. He got what he wanted. He immediately launched the shopping section. Even though the system world wasn't there anymore, the menu came from the higher planes. He wanted to see whether he could still get a product from the higher realm now that he wasn't in the system world anymore.

He hacked into the server again, this time throuu this time. After half an hour, he finally got what he wanted. The shop he opened was that of the heavenly realm for people with levels 1,000 and above.

So it would take a man a thousand levels to reach heaven, huh?

He glanced at his level, which still showed question marks for some reason. Could it be that his level was actually higher than those in heaven? Wouldn't he be called a god if that were the case?

He ignored this information and proceeded to buy some high-level stuff.

Nuclear bombs, five million Crana each.

Rejected.

Thunderbolt lasers. Ten million Crana each

Rejected.

Fire spells. One billion Crana each.

Rejected again.

Shane sighed as he continued to read the list. Even though he was interested in buying them all, he didn't want to waste his time here.

His mission was to destroy this world and finally rest in a normal world. He would himself choose a modern world without any spiritual fluctuations, with good enough people without bad deeds on their heads. He didn't want togo through the trouble of destroying worlds again.

He immediately set up the program according to his wishes. At the end of the program, the system asked him whether he wanted to bring someone along.

A lonely figure flashed in his mind, and he instantly put down Hope's system number.

The menu acknowledged it and shut down, showing him the positive result.

They could have gone to such a world and rested earlier as well. But Hope didn't do that.

Shane knew why. After destroying the system world, she wanted them to stay away from the eyes of the heavens. Even though it was a task approved by the heavenly officials, they didn't have high expectations that anyone could finish it. If someone did, they would be granted the best of all seats in the heavens.

But Shane knew that it wouldn't be of any benefit. It would mostly be like a highly luxurious prison with no freedom whatsoever.

Shane wanted to be free, and he knew that Hope was like that too. That was possibly why she chose another task to destroy the world in order to avoid the heavens' radars.

At this time, the systems on missions while he was destroying the system world were rather lucky. They would not only be saved from brutal deaths, but they could also get a chance to choose the world they wanted to go to and rest for the rest of their lives without doing any other missions.

Shane became bored after a while of scrolling down the shop.

Even though it was a risky job to hack into the server, he didn't have a choice. He had long since created a VPN to hide his traces from the expert's eyes.

That was why he wasn't very worried about it anymore.

Just as he was about to refresh his search and type in a few random keywords, he saw a very interesting thing.

Mind-controlling spell (unlimited use): Ten billion Crana.

Shane looked at the cost and finally bit his tongue to buy this amazing spell.

He could control minds. What would be better than this? It was the best of both worlds. He didn't have to be the main villain and kill people. He could easily make others do his work.

He smiled and firmly clicked the buy button. He still had enough Crana in his account to let him spend his entire life without a hitch. As soon as he bought it, he decided to use it. He memorized the spell and closed the system menu.

He looked around to find his first target.

A man was sitting at the counter, yawning as he looked bored.

Then he looked at a beautiful lady who had just entered. The young man's eyes stuck to her body, especially the chest area.

Shane immediately muttered a spell and directed his flow of energy toward the young man. He inserted some thoughts into the man's head through his head.

He almost felt like he had become a whispering ghost who could control thoughts.

In a sense, he really was.

The young man was overcome with desire. He instantly jumped on the counter and grabbed the girl. Then he tore off her clothes, making her stand in front of everyone in her bra and panties.

Shane was satisfied with the result. The mind-controlling thing worked better than he thought. When the girl yelled at the top of her lungs, the young man proceeded to take off the remaining pieces of clothing before he could react. She slapped the man senselessly across his cheeks.

A few people approached and smacked the young man on the stomach. Some people helped the girl and handed her a coat as she ran out of the cafe.

The entire situation turned into havoc as everyone started hitting the young man. Some people even stood by and watched the show.

The young man cried as he hugged his head. He was probably thinking, 'Why did he even do it according to his thoughts? What was he thinking doing something like this in public?'

Shane was embarrassed to be using such a random girl. He wasn't that much interested in lusting after a girl's body. But after seeing Hope's thighs and panties that day, he suddenly felt a hint of desire in his body that didn't go away no matter what. He just wanted to see if other girls could make him feel that way, but he was wrong.

Only Hope made him feel that way.

Why?

Because he hated her?

Shane frowned as he continued to think about it.
