Life Dealer System

Chapter 16 - Grinding

After a few minutes of pacing around the apartment, I finally calmed down. Thinking logically it was as the tug said if they wanted me dead they could have done so. The only thing that kept me alive was the attitude I made up in the presentation with their boss.

It seems that the part of me playing as a god is helping me out a little bit.

A good thing that calmed me down is checking my [Stats]. After my status effect is gone It was thrilling to see all the possibilities that I could do with this insane system.

************************************

It seems that I gained 1 point of CHR a while ago and didn't even noticed it. Maybe when I was talking to the tug after the successful negotiation. I was so agitated that I didn't even saw the blue screen while I was running.

I have a couple of goals now, overall I can grow a couple of stats. It would be a couple of months of efforts it seems to make them reach the maximum capacity to grow.

After that, I need to complete the mission of using <Lachesis Eyes> to gain more information about my future targets.

The other mission was the gold coins one, one gold coin is equal to 100 years it seems. So I needed 800 excess of lifespan just to reach LVL2. Not even having in an account the 210 lifespan years I need to max out my stats. So it was 1k years of lifespan. Shit, that would take a while.

Also, I need to think a way to launder money to make them legit so I can use it over here without persecution. I was thinking about opening nightclubs, but most of them are from the mafia. I could also buy cheap bulk trinkets from a 3rd country and open an antique store and sell to the store for 1000% profit.

But I think I would do what most people do, make "abstract art" and sell them for a ridiculous amount of money to have my foreign account buy them.

I decided to began slowly my laundry money business. 500k each artwork or something like that. While I was doing that I hired the best personal trainer available and began my training. On the mornings I would train with him solely focusing on the STR aspect, after that I would go to a private reserved Olympic pool while being coached by the best Olympic trainer available to train my STA. If I hit hard and keep hitting eventually I could win, I didn't have a plan to fight anytime soon, but better be safe than sorry.

On the nights I would go to my apartment and read books about foreign languages, It was the perfect combination for learning a new thing, training my stat and then I can finally say I know a lot of languages!

I called my family and send them money saying that I took a good job and I was doing well. Send a little pocket money to my little brother so he can spend on stuff he likes but that couldn't buy before. Like new first brand tennis shoes, or a new phone that was not used, etc. He was very happy but I remember him that this was a gift because I saw how much effort he was making at the school. If he stopped doing that what he's supposed to do the gift will stop too.

He was very pleased to know that his efforts were not unnoticed by his big brother and even praised him a little. Most of the time his brother had a face full of worry all the time while he was looking at him. He was happy to know that his brother was doing better.

I didn't forget about Emily, tomorrow was the date. So I had to be ready for that. On the way to my date, I was constantly using <Lachesis Eyes> to the people I was passing by, it became a habit for me. To slowly leveling up to LVL 3.

I arrived at our dinner date, it was a good review restaurant but not so expensive. It was a good moderate restaurant. Their specialty was pasta so it was difficult for them to screw that up. While I was thinking that Emily arrived, she was wearing a cute dress with a bag that matched her outfit and platform shoes that were in fashion this month it seems.

I approach and said "I hope you don't usually get dresses as good today every time you go to work! You would have a lot of men making a line just to get your phone number!"

She surprised asked "Oh? You are saying that I dress badly when I go to work? They are guys asking for my number every day, so I don't think so!"

I began to panic and said "Nono! You dress really well better than your coworkers, I mean I don't judge a book for a cover and ... " while I was quickly panicked and babbling Emily hid her mouth with her hand and laughed "Haha you are very easy to tease, come here you rascal and let's enjoy a good dinner!"

After saying that she locked her arms with me and we went to the restaurant together.

It was a really nice dinner, I got to know her more. She was Emily Derlum, she was in NY studying for being an E.R medic. She decided to follow that career when one of those doctors saved her mother life. She was from a little town very far away. She was 24 this year, her birthday was on the 15th of December. And her favorite color was violet.

I accompanied her home with a taxi while thinking about the need to buy a new car now that I have money to spare, and said bye to her on the front of her home.

I continued with my routine for increasing those 3 skills and after a month of working out, I finally incremented 1 of each skill. It seems is a lot more work if you are not in stressful situations.
