Chapter 60: Updated SystemAfter his mother left the room, Adrian also prepared to leave the room, a familiar ding echoed in his mind, followed by the system's voice:
"Congratulations, Host, on completing your mission. Rewards: 100,000 Seduction Points, a unique item voucher, and special access to buy any item of 2nd class."
The sudden notification caught him off guard. He had been so engrossed in his conversation with Isabella that he hadn't even considered the system's next move.
A small smile tugged at his lips as he reflected on how the system always seemed to show up at the most unexpected times.
He quickly checked his system panel, seeing the new rewards added to his inventory. The Seduction Points were always useful, and the unique item voucher was intriguing.
However, what piqued his interest the most was the special access to 2nd class items—something that could provide him with a significant advantage.
As he mentally swiped through the available items, another thought crept into his mind—his only active remaining mission which was to seduce Eve. Unlike Isabella, Sophia, or Chris, Eve was a little different.
Her situation was a bit difficult for now. She was currently a slave under the control of Baron Mortimer, with her mother as hostage. He had to free her before making his moves on her.
Adrian sighed, closing the system panel for now. He knew that dealing with Eve would require more than just his usual glib tongue. He'd have to approach her differently, carefully, and with a plan.
But for now, he pushed those thoughts aside. It was only evening, and there was still time before dinner. He decided to head to his room to wash up. As he made his way down the hall, he encountered Christine, his new personal maid and Chris's younger sister.
Christine's face lit up when she saw him. "Brother Adrian!" she greeted him cheerfully, a bright smile on her face as she approached him. "Do you require anything?"
Adrian chuckled and patted her head gently, appreciating her enthusiasm. "I'm just heading to the bath, so nothing for now. How are you, Christine?"
Christine beamed at his attention, clearly happy to chat. "I'm doing well, Big Brother Adrian! It's just… sometimes I still can't believe how much my life has changed.
You and Lady Isabella have done so much for us. My sister is even going to marry you soon! It makes me so happy to have such a kind big brother and to be part of such a wonderful household."
Adrian smiled warmly at her words, feeling a sense of responsibility towards Christine and her family.
He knew how difficult their lives had been before luck would have Isabella intervened. Christine had grown up facing hardships—her mother's illness, their poor circumstances, and their abusive father. But now, things were different, and she seemed genuinely content.
"I'm glad you're happy here, Christine. You're part of our family now, and we'll always look out for you," Adrian said sincerely.
Christine's eyes sparkled with gratitude. "Thank you, Big Brother Adrian. Everyone here has been so kind to me, treating me like their little sister. It means the world to me."
After a few more minutes of light conversation, Adrian bid Christine farewell and continued on his way to the bath.
As he walked, the system's recent notification and his final mission with Eve lingered in the back of his mind. But for now, he focused on the moment, letting the anticipation of what was to come settle in his thoughts.
As Adrian settled into the warm bath, the soothing water easing the tension from his muscles, he decided to call upon the system once again. He had rewards to claim, and the allure of new items and skills intrigued him.
"System, open the shop," he commanded, ready to see what his special access to 2nd class items would reveal.
A moment passed before the system's familiar voice echoed in his mind. "The shop has been updated. You now have access to a broader range of items."
Adrian raised an eyebrow at this revelation. "Updated? Why didn't you mention that earlier?"
The system's response came in a tone dripping with sarcasm. "Because you didn't ask, Host."
Adrian couldn't help but grind his teeth in mild annoyance at the system's cheeky reply. He had grown accustomed to the system's quirks, but it didn't make moments like these any less frustrating.
"Alright, then," he muttered, trying to keep his cool. "What new items have been added?"
The system began listing the new options, and Adrian couldn't help but be taken aback. "You can now buy clothes from your previous world, such as bunny outfits, sailor outfits, office lady attire, and more.
Additionally, you can purchase devices like phones, holographic TVs, and PCs to allow your women to learn about the sexual culture of your previous world."
Adrian blinked, processing this unexpected twist. The idea of introducing these modern, somewhat risqué elements into his current life was both intriguing and amusing.
He could already imagine the reactions of Isabella, Sophia, Chris, and even the more stoic Eve.
As Adrian listened to the system describe the new items available from Earth, a flood of ideas raced through his mind.
The thought of introducing these modern outfits into this fantasy world made his pulse quicken. He could already picture the scenarios: his mother in a sleek office lady outfit, Sophia in a teasing sailor uniform, and Chris in a provocative bunny costume—all of them wearing those outfits while he had his way with them.
The vivid imagery made him drool a little, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the possibilities. The idea of mixing the familiar with the unfamiliar, blending his previous world's culture with his new life, seemed both thrilling and enticing.
But then another thought occurred to him, and he quickly asked the system, "Can I view the internet through these devices?"
The system responded with its usual bluntness. "Host needs to get stronger and have the system undergo series of update."
Adrian frowned. "And how do I update the system?"
The system's response was almost too fitting for his situation. "By collecting Yin energy, Host. This means you need to seduce woman and have sex—a lot of it."
Adrian couldn't help but chuckle at the system's straightforwardness, though it didn't come as a complete surprise. Everything seemed to revolve around sex with this system. But then the system continued with something new.
"Speaking of Yin energy, Host can now gain Seduction Points after having sex with your partners. The amount depends on their satisfaction." Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Adrian's eyes widened at this revelation. "Wait, what? Why the hell didn't you tell me this sooner?"
The system replied in its usual sarcastic tone, "Host is a pervert with nothing but sex on his mind. I thought you wouldn't care about such minor details."
Adrian clenched his fists in mild irritation. "Minor details? This is important!"
"Host, you've been collecting Seduction Points through other means, so I assumed you wouldn't be too concerned," the system replied nonchalantly.
Adrian shook his head, trying to suppress his frustration. "Fine, but tell me this—how is it possible to gain Seduction Points with just sex now, but not before?"
The system explained, "Now that Host has obtained a 1st class, the system has also updated alongside you. With the advancement, the system can now better absorb Yin energy released during sex. The Yin energy is converted into Seduction Points."
Adrian listened carefully as the system continued, "The system absorbs a certain amount of Yin energy and rewards Host with a portion as an investment. The stronger Host becomes, the more Yin energy the system can collect. This, in turn, allows the system to unlock more functionalities, making Host stronger as well."
Adrian then leaned back in the bath, realizing he won't be getting answers and letting the information sink in. It made sense, in a way—a symbiotic relationship between himself and the system.
As he considered his options, his thoughts drifted back to the potential rewards. If he could keep satisfying his partners, he'd not only grow stronger but also have access to even more powerful skills and items.
