Finally, those three stars shot toward the screen, appeared in reality, and landed on Patty's forehead.

For the first summon, he was able to get a minion that would give him the ability to look dashing and proper at all times. Patty was a little bit disappointed with this minion. After all, he was not the kind of guy that cared about style and all that. He always wore simple white shirts and shorts if possible. The best style he had ever worn was a colored shirt with designs printed on the front.
The ability to disguise himself was really good, though. However, he didn't think he would be using it all the time. After all, he didn't care about his reputation or anything at all. Nobody was even paying attention to him anyway. However, this could come in handy if he had to get out of some chore that he didn't want to do.
"How are you feeling today, sir?" A very gentlemanly voice with an English accent suddenly came out of Patty's body.
"Are you Mr. Suave?"
A strange black liquid suddenly came out of Patty's hands and quickly enveloped his whole body like vines clinging to a wall. Soon enough, his entire body was covered in a black shimmering liquid, which soon solidified into a very well-made and impressive suit.
"Mr. Suave, reporting for duty. Worry not, Master. I'll be able to give you some tips to get the hearts of any girl or guy you want."
Patty looked at himself from the television screen and saw that the black suit fit him very well. Even though he hated wearing suits and full-body attires, this one was very comfortable. It felt even better than any custom-fitted suits that he could buy.
However, it didn't feel like his style. He was still more comfortable if he simply wore his trusty white shirt and shorts.
"There's no need to do that. I'm too lazy for romance, Mr. Suave."
"Oh nonsense, sir. With my help, you'll be able to make people swoon with just one look from you."
"There's no need. And can you turn back to my white shirt and shorts?"
Mr. Suave sighed. "As you wish, sir. However, I do think that you'd be able to be more popular with others if you simply put in a little bit of effort. You do have some natural handsomeness in you."
"Eh, too lazy."
After that, Mr. Suave stopped saying anything. Although the minion didn't like his powers being wasted by becoming a plain white shirt, he still did what his Master wanted.
Come on, give me good summons!
The first S-class summon was pretty good, but it was a little bit underwhelming. He wanted something more that would help him become more lazy. The next one was the red star, which Patty guessed was related to the Power route.
[S-class Finger Guns]
[Description]
—This is a biotech minion that lives in the user's pointer fingers. The minion can convert part of a Kore's powers into a high-energy laser beam that could greatly damage enemies. The power of the laser depends on the Kore and how much energy the user wants to consume.
[Level: 0/100]
[Growth Crystal Required for Level Up: 5]
[Ability: Finger gun]
—The user will be able to shoot deadly lasers at the tips of his pointer finger. However, this consumes the energy of a Kore. The user can output (0%) of a Kore's energy.
[Application]
—Power
[Real world immersion successful]
"Cool!"
This power was much more useful for Patty–not because he wanted extra protection for him–but because this power was extremely similar to the power of his favorite character from his favorite TV show, Space Invaders.
In that show, the main character was able to destroy space monsters and admirals with just one laser from his fingers. Patty always thought this was cool, and now, he also had the same power as him!
He immediately wanted to test it out.
"Finger Guns!" Patty made finger guns, but nothing happened.
After a few seconds, a robotic voice suddenly came out of his fingers. "Incorrect keyword. Insufficient power. Unable to execute Master's orders."
Oh, right! The minion needed Kores to use the power.
Patty then took out one of the lowest quality Kores from his Space Ring. This one was 23% pure Kore, which would be extremely valuable to others, but considered trash compared to the high-quality ones Patty had in his Space Ring. he probably had more Kores in the high 50s percent purity rather than those below 50.
"How do I input the Kore?" Patty asked his minion.
"Question assessed…Answer found…Master must reload the Finger Guns like that of a normal gun."
Patty was confused. After all, there was no actual gun. He was just using his hand just like how kids do when they play pretend. Then, he got an idea.
With his one hand folded into the gun shape, Patty took out the Kore from his other hand and inserted it into his folded hands as if it were a magazine being reloaded. And magically, the Kore suddenly disappeared into his hands!
[Source found…Energy levels are at 23%...Finger Guns available for use…]
Patty felt extremely excited as he aimed at the ground. Since this was the first try, he decided to just use the bare minimum energy.
[Order acknowledged…calibrating Finger Guns…single shot with 1% energy ammo loaded]
Even without saying anything, the minion was able to read Patty's mind and automatically adjust the finger guns to his specificity. This was the exact reason why he preferred to have S-class minions; they made his life so much easier.
Patty aimed his right finger on the ground and mentally clicked the gun…but nothing happened.
"Why can't I fire the gun?"
"...Keyword not detected…" the minion answered.
What keyword? Patty wondered if he had to figure out some password so that he'd be able to use the guns.
"...Master must imitate the gun sound…"
"..." Patty was speechless.
"Really? I have to do that?"
"Yes, master…keyword is required…"
"Ugh…" Patty then aimed the finger gun back at the floor and awkwardly said…
"Psshhtoong!"
And as soon as he said that, a laser made out of prismatic colors shot out from his fingers and directly onto his floor. And this was no simple beam. This laser was as wide as Patty's head!
The recoil made Patty fall out of his bed. He was completely unprepared for that amount of power to come out of his hands. It was as if he had the thrust of a rocket ship on the tip of his pointer finger for a second. Even with his enhanced strength, he was still unable to control the recoil.
"Holy crap…" Patty looked from beyond the bed and saw a large gaping hole in the middle of his living room. It was large enough for a person to fall through completely! The ground still had small embers ignited from the blast radius, creating more damage on his newly renovated floor.
When he looked beyond the hole, he was surprised to find out that it was at least 10 meters deep!
That was just 1% power from the finger gun! According to the description of the minion, Patty could also choose to fire one laser with the equivalent of 23% energy from the Kore!
But that wasn't the scariest part. The scariest part was that Patty still hadn't upgraded the level of the minion. This meant that it still had a 0% efficiency in converting the power of the Kore to the laser power!
How much more powerful would his laser beam be if he upgraded his minion to the max level?
What would happen if he used an 80% pure Kore in just one laser?
He couldn't even think of how much destruction his finger guns could cause. Patty then remembered that the Virtual World Kores were twice as powerful as normal Kores. This probably contributed to the strength of the laser. The 1% energy ammo that he used was probably closer to 2% energy.
He wanted so much to try and use a high-quality Kore as ammo just to see how powerful his new minion could be.
[Understood…using 22% energy for one ammo…]
"NO! NO! NO! NO! I was just kidding!"
