After returning home, Aoo was back in his room. Today was not only a new year for him, but also an important day. It was because in the early morning, the last Palico that was left to sell was sold and he had finally completed the mission of selling the required number of products in order to get to the next upgrade.
The last few months had been eventful for Aoto. He had only only sold all the Windows 98 version but also all the other products. The medical school was finally built and children were chosen for this school quite early. Aoto wanted the children to be much older before they entered the school but Hokage said that they needed to learn the things young and could save lives of many.
"If it was in my world, you would have been put behind bars for child abuse." Aoto thought but let him do whatever he wanted. Anyway the course wasn't as vast as it was supposed to be in any ordinary medical school of his world so it would do for them for now.
But later when the course becomes large, they would have to see at what age the children could start the learning process. Learning about human biology and also all problem related to heart was already a vast course. Adding more would be a torture for them.
But all in all, everything had been good for him and he was finally able to upgrade his system.
"System, I want to upgrade the shop."
[
Upgrade conditions met. Upgrading..
10%.. 20%.. 50%.. 80%.. 100%
]
Aoto sighed in relief as he thought the upgrade would take a lot of time. But thankfully it only too a few seconds.
"What are the advantages of this upgrade?" Aoto asked as he was curious and excited since he was going to get powers for the first time.
[
These are the points that host can enjoy in this upgrade
1. Summons : Another summon will be chosen randomly who will be proficient in a random profession, helping the host in his endeavor and also a bodyguard for the safety of the host. The bodyguard's potential will be calculated according to the host extra sales and service he had provided to the customers and will be chosen from any random world just like the summon.
2. The area of protection will be a bigger radius than the previous 50 meters and it's 150 meters.
3. The host can now get a lottery of arranging his side career on any power system belonging to a random world. Since the host is living in a dangerous world, he needs protection when he goes out for business related matters.
4. Host will get a lottery of 10 items like last time and the new items needs to sold for 200 units at least and this is one of the basic condition to enter to the next upgrade.

"Wait what? I will get a bodyguard?"
[
Yes host, but mind you, the quality of the bodyguard will depend on the extra credits that the host has received from the extra sales and services that the host had provided to the public
]
"What are my current credits?'
[
The current credits of the host 6/100
]
"Even after paying the money for the school, I have so less credits?"
[
It's the system's opinion of assigning credits to the host
]
"I have got one moody system." Aoto mumbled but he was okay with it. A bodyguard and power system. He was more than happy to acknowledge it and launch his so called 'side career'.
"System, I want to start the summoning process first."
[
Acknowledged. Host is taken to the system space
]
After coming into the familiar white space, he felt the same loneliness feeling which he had felt the previous time. Without much expectation he asked.
"System can you bring John, Arya and Hot Pie?"
[
Sure, host
]
Aoto was surprised because he really didn't expect that the system would go along with his request and without any warning he saw John, Arya and Hot Pie standing before him. They were confused of course of what just happened but they did remember the white space.
"Are we going back?" John asked with a hint of sadness in his voice. Though the world was dangerous, he loved his life here. There was no one coming after him and he didn't need to think much about his food and shelter.
"No.. No.. We will be getting new people and I wanted you to be my side while I turn the wheel. You won't leaving this place any time soon. " Aoto said and calmed his friend.
"New people? Like people from Westeros?" Hot Pie asked as he would love to see new people from Westeros.
"It depends on my luck. There are thousands of worlds out there." Aoto replied as he didn't have much hope for people from Westeros as there was very less productivity. Hot Pie was a little disappointed at this but nonetheless still excited to see new people who was a expert in their field.
The wheel was again in front of Aoto.
"Pray for me." Aoto joked as he started turning the wheel. Everyone nearby also looked at the revolving wheel with wide eyes, not blinking at all. Soon the pointer stopped at one of the question mark.
The question mark slowly got erased and revealed a person in front of them. It was a teenage woman about to enter adulthood. Her face was oval-shaped, with soft, rounded cheeks with eyes of bright shade of blue. her nose was petite and well-proportioned. She also had an athletic build with well defined shoulders.
She was wearing a mechanic's cloth adoring a cute top and well fitted jeans. She also seemed to carry a toolbox around her waist. She even wore boots on her feet showing that she was accustomed to working in a mechanic based environment.
Aoto instantly recognized when the face was shown in the lottery. He had really hit the jackpot here.
