Five days passed
After coming back from school and changing his clothes, Christian couldn't resist taking a look at his reflection in the mirror. His body had really changed in just six days. While he hadn't developed a six-pack yet, his physique had become noticeably more toned. Even his constitution had increased by one point.
After feeling some satisfaction from looking at his body, Christian decided not to collect the idle practice slots immediately. Instead, he opted to order some food for delivery, knowing he had a lot to do today.
First, his high school knowledge should be perfected today. Christian had initially thought it would be a bit quicker, but the process actually slowed down once the level reached ten.
But aside from his high school knowledge becoming perfect, something even more important was on his mind: his program hacking skill would advance to the intermediate level today. Christian knew he would need to work really hard, especially since it would be his first time hacking.
He would need to download some courses about trading, books, articles, videos, everything he could find. While he planned to choose sites with lower security, it would still take time.
He also needed to download everything related to fitness and body-building because his skill, Basic Kinetix Body Building, was far more comprehensive than he initially thought.
But the main priority was still finding out more about Olivia's older sister. He needed some information about her because, up until now, he hadn't been able to get anything, not even her name. He needed some lead to start with, after all.
After filling his stomach, Christian decided to collect the Basic Kinetix Body Building skill first. Knowing it would make him sweat, he figured it was best to start with it and then take a bath before moving on to the other tasks.
…
Sitting in his room chair and taking a moment to relax after the bath, Christian collected the remaining Idle Practicing Slots.
[You have received 1000 Experience]
[You have received 110 Experience]
[Your Level has increased]
[You have received 2 unassigned points]
[The first Idle practicing slot has became empty]
[The skill High School Knowledge had become Lv.10(Max)]
[The skill Basic Program Hacking had passed the caped level and become Intermediate Program Hacking Lv.1(1%)]
Not taking much time to digest the information, Christian then read the system messages. Seeing the amount of experience points he received from the High School Knowledge this time, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately attributed it to the skill maxing out, thinking it might be some kind of bonus.
As for the program hacking, it had indeed reached the intermediate level. Wanting to take care of the information regarding Trading and his body training first, Christian opened his computer.
And started his work, while he went just to the very low security sites, wanting to stay safe, he took a lot of time, but despite all of this he felt nervous, doing something illegal for the first, time.
As Christian started his work, he focused on very low-security sites to stay safe. But despite his caution, he felt nervous, knowing he was doing something illegal for the first time.
He didn't know how he would manage to steel his nerves in the future when hacking information from the police sites or similar sources.
After nearly three hours, Christian, sitting in his chair, exhausted both mentally and physically, decided that moving forward, if it was unnecessary, he would just buy these books normally.
It really wasn't worth it for him to strain his mental nerves and risk things just to save some money he could easily earn from trading, especially since he now had nearly $12,000.
And with a higher base amount of money, he would have even more in the future.
Still getting some books and articles for now, he willed his system to resume the idle practice of Trading in the first slot.
[The Idle Practice at the first slot, Trading has started]
Having taken care of everything, it was now time to look into information about Olivia.
But arriving at this point, Christian found himself stuck. Where exactly could he find this kind of information in the first place? He didn't need blackmail material after all, just some general information, so he could meet her older sister.
Thinking a little more, Christian decided to search for her name Olivia Carter on social media, seeing if she had an account, as he hadn't tried this method until now.
"Huh?"
While he hoped to find her profile and gather some general information, Christian was still astonished when he saw her name, photo, with even a public account at that. He wondered why he had waited so long, feeling both stupid and embarrassed.
Trying to bury his shame over not using social media and forgetting about it, he tried to move past it.
He then looked through her posts and actually found a picture of her with her older sister quickly.
He looked at what she had written and got the biggest surprise this time.
"With Mom ♡"
She wrote that it was her mother. But no matter how one looked at it, her mother looked more like an older sister and didn't even seem to be over thirty. It made him even wonder When did she even have time to get pregnant and give birth to her?
Feeling the shock of his life, Christian sat motionless in his chair.
What should he do now? Should he just give up?
As the negative emotions overwhelmed him, he suddenly thought of something that rekindled his hope.
