In the room, Mize hurriedly closed the door, leaning his back against it as he had something important to check first before going out to the Millinea house.
'System... check for my points right now'
After all of those events yesterday, and the cuddling this morning... Mize doesn't believe that he won't have enough points to raise his beauty to a whole new level today.
[Current points]: 23000
And looking over this, Mize was excited for a moment. He sprinted to the bathroom, and without waiting much longer, he directly used the 20 thousand points to exchange for 20 appearance points, which would allow him to increase any of the beauty, cute, or even the charm gauge by a large margin through the conversion method.
Mize didn't dwell on which one to choose too long, he had a clear goal in his mind. 'Let's focus on the beauty gauge for now' And without any further dwelling around, he pressed the invisible plus icon over the panel in his mind. It was like a warm rush of heat at first, cruising through his body and also his veins.
It felt so similar to the feeling of taking a hot steaming bath, your body just felt like it wanted to float in this sea of clouds. But really, he couldn't float here or else he would fall in real life. This process didn't take long, as the rush of heat came and went in the split of seconds that his finger pressed over the plus icon on the panel, and eventually, he regained his senses.
His eyes overlook the brand-new changeover in the mirror before him. It was foggy, perhaps due to the heat his body emanated just now, and alongside the new changes that had occurred... he smiled... wiping the mirror with a wave of his hand.
And there it was, the subtle increase in the overall appearance value of his appearance.
"The jawline looks more rounded or a bit sharper now? The eyes became a bit... crescent-like. And the skin became paler and also white in luster" Mize touched his face for a bit, assessing the new changes that had taken place just now.
Pinching his cheeks for a bit with his hands, the skin became a bit more prone to redness if he were to pinch it even a bit tiny harshly than normal. "And also... " He looked down to his waist, his gaze turned to the side. The curve on his body had become a bit more finely sculpted, like a peach hourglass built, it was slowly turning in that direction... but with the fact his little brother was still down there hiding away from the world's knowledge.
"Well... without the little brother being exposed, I am a full-blown-out beauty now huh?"
Mize smiled, an amused grin across his face. Patting his cheeks a little bit more, feeling the plump sensation from the touch of his hand.
Satisfied with the changes that had taken place with the points increased just now, Mize then came out of the bathroom, heading towards the closet as he began to choose the set of clothes he wanted to wear outside for today. And of course, 'Let's grind a little bit more point with Liam today, wearing slightly enticing today won't hurt no'
It took a while for Mize to prepare before going out, he had to make it as believable as possible for this whole thing to work out, but he wouldn't dwell on the time for that long.
His bare face alone is enough and adding some light make-up won't hurt. As for where he had learned to do these things, well... let's just say he got a lot of free time back then during his boring days at the house.
On the outside, Liam was waiting on the couch, his legs crossed over the other as he patiently waited for Mize's emergence from the door of his room. He wore a plain white short-sleeved t-shirt, with simple and long black slack pants but they looked more like outdoor pants for a jog instead.
But overall, he would nail it on the stage of a model if he were to be one. Coupled with his messy black hair, styled in the slick back comb, and the black pair of eyes that were as deep as the ocean, his height had increased substantially since the last time Mize had seen him. He is now worthy enough to bear the title of villain protagonist...
But this so-called villain protagonist would pale in comparison to the person who would soon come out of the door later.
It didn't take long for the suspense to build up, the anticipation was there, he must admit it. After all, this woman was chosen to be his through his golden finger, it was odd, weird even. But Liam must admit that he wasn't one to complain after a day of interaction with her.
He then overlooked the system panel inside his mind momentarily, lost in his thoughts with the obvious main target column etched at the top of the panel, and surprisingly, the name of the target alongside the picture of the target was Mize...
Yes, due to Mize's butterfly effect by adding himself into Liam's storyline, the system had changed and evolved even to the point that it had become a whole new system with a higher potential limit that seemed to reach the concept that goes beyond the scope of this planet. But it was with a tiny twist, the system had bounded itself onto Mize as the main source of points for Liam to gain from.
But from the looks of it, he could gain points through other means, and he wasn't one to focus on one entirely. But teasing Mize was just that fun for him, and it also made him realize that in just one day, he might have fallen for this girl's silly charm.
'To develop the territory together huh' He mused, leaning his back against the couch with his arm crossed over his chest.
It was such a funny twist of the story, that both of them were now relying on each other to grind for points. Both are parasites and also a cuddly lover, oblivious to one's intentions.
And soon enough, under his half-focused gaze and thought, the door to Mize's room opened slowly with a dull creaking sound, marking the end of the waiting, and the results of Liam's anticipation. What came next was a total of what he was hoping for... as Mize slowly walked out from the room with a graceful stride, one step at a time with his head lowered, the red on his cheeks evident from this one's sight.
Liam stood up, striding a little bit closer but somehow, he had to keep his distance away a bit more this time, fearing that he might ruin her image if he were to stand too close, and without much thought, he blurted out, one hand rubbing the top of his head. "You... wearing like this"
He was a bit hesitant about what words to say, one was of excitement that he got to see her in this way, in a way that she had never dressed before after all, they barely knew each other for one day.
But there were also some insecurities, a beauty without strength to back it up is just a meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered...
But after contemplating for a brief moment, Liam conceded to the idea of being this weak, 'I am quite strong now, it shouldn't be a problem to deter most awakeners in this city' He silently thought within.
And there within his view, Mize full bloom in the dress that he had chosen was fully presented in its full glory. Coupled with the smug face on the corner of his mouth, Mize was satisfied with the way how Liam reacted to his current appearance.
To put it in simpler perspective, each ten points is a threshold of a whole new appearance realm for him, he had asked about this before to the system and the explanation was brief, short even. 60 points mark the entry to the model level beauty, 70 points mark the top-level beauty gauge in this world, 80 points have entered a whole new appearance realm, with only the word ethereal that could describe them, and the list goes on.
As for the limit of these points, the system didn't clarify, but from the gist of how the exchange rate is working... and also some subtle hints from the system tone from time to time... Without a doubt, 100 points isn't the limit.
"How... " Mize twirled around in his dress, his hand holding the hem of it. He bought this dress at a high price from a high-end store, so naturally, it was very beautiful to look at. Especially with the hourglass curve that he has now, and the plumpness that was hidden before, the dress was simply tailored for him.
[Ignoring the flat front of the vehicle]
'Shut up or else I will beat you for sure this time!'
It was almost similar to the long black dress that he had worn before, but this one was subtly different in the design which highlighted the curve on the waist, falling beneath layered over the other, and reaching beneath the foot like a black curtain. But that was not it, the color was simply a match made in heaven alongside his long black hair that fell like a waterfall at the back.
Mize purposedly lets the hair fall to the length of his shoes, he doesn't worry about it being dirty. And also, the hair was thick and lush, coupled with the necklace around his neck, more like a collar that added the wild touch of an untamed kitten from the urban world.
And the pair of ruby-like eyes that shone through from the bang of her hair, the oval perfect face, the white pale skin that seemed to glisten even under slight tremor. It was just too beautiful to be looked at...
Liam was stunned momentarily, a wry smile etched on his face as he shook his head. "Yes... very beautiful, I must admit"
Hearing Liam's words, Mize grinned like a fool, as if he was even drunk. The spin within his dress became a bit more cheerful, like a princess in the sea of flowers. Except for that smug on his face that is...
"Let's go... shall we" Mize smiled, striding purposedly to Liam's side as he held Liam's right arm over his chest. "And make sure to pay for anything that I asked for"
