"No, I was passing by. However, I stopped to see Jason here. Can you imagine when he came in he was bleeding? Now look at him. Completely fine and walking around," said Isabella, her face turning into a smile that did not reach her eyes when she turned to the Nurse.
Jason watched this scene with interest internally building inside him. After all, this kind of situation was only going to be good for him.
This was the power of Social Proof.
Since both women were attracted to him, they also knew that they were attracted and this made them want Jason that much more since it was clear now just how attractive he was. After all, attractive men were rare, and rare things are fine to have.
Jason did not even have to try anything now. Whoever he chose would be happy with being chosen. After a bit more conversation between the two women, Isabella turned to Jason again, and said meaningfully, "I'll see you later then, Jason."
He gave Isabella a knowing smile, one he hoped she'd understand. Hush-hush, just between us, he was trying to say. And judging by the smile on her face, it seemed she received the message loud and clear before waving to the brunette and leaving.
The brunette nurse handed the papers to Jason, instructing him on where to sign and what to do, After Jason completed everything, he felt a strange surge of pride and satisfaction as he handed the papers back to her.
"Am I free to go now?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. But he already knew the answer.
The nurse nodded, a little too eagerly for someone with a boyfriend. She took the papers, but before Jason could retract his arm, she grabbed it, and then with a pen, she wrote down her phone number.
Leaning forward, and showing Jason the arch of her back, she then said, softly, "Yes, of course, Mr Cross. And… do call me if you have any issues with your body. I'll be sure to come over and give you my assistance."
Yeah… Umm, no thank you. Jason did not say that though, instead giving her a bright smile as he stepped backwards, closing his fist as if he was taking the numbers very happily. "I'll think about it…"
With a polite nod and a turn, Jason took his leave, strolling out of the sterile halls and into the main lobby. His papers, at least his version of them were tucked under his arms, and he had a smile on his face.
That was incredible… And even more incredibly it seemed he had gotten a reward for it too!

Jason stared at this page in wonder. Health Potions, Energy Potions? Where was the Body Moulding Pill?! Where are the Data Blocks he had used before? Why was there nothing? Or maybe his Level was too low? That must be it, right?

Yeah, well… he did not need something like this right now. He did not need to spend his MC. Saving up his MC and increasing his level until it was time for him to spend it sounded like a good idea.
As he stepped outside into the evening light, Jason felt a rush of freedom. It was a fresh beginning, a clean slate. But it was also a moment in which he had infinite possibility. He felt like the world was stretching out before him, beckoning to him with its ripe potential.
He felt healthier than ever, stronger, sharper like he could take on anything. And that was probably because he was. In the stillness, he caught his reflection in the hospital window and took a moment to study it. His frame was taller, leaner, and more agile. His eyes were bright with a spark he had only seen a long time ago.
A pulse of excitement coursed through him and before he knew it, Jason started running. His feet were pounding the floor and the pavement, faster and faster and his body felt like it was light as air. He felt like he was in the air, flying.
He was already calculating the time, and distance he was covering and he became certain that he was breaking some national records. How insane...
The thrill this action gave him was almost childlike. It was something that made him extremely excited. As he neared his apartment complex, which was quite far from the hospital, Jason started slowing down.
How amazing was the System? Its power was going to affect him more and more from then on. It was obvious that he was going to unlock more abilities, and with these abilities, he was going to be able to do more with his life.
Who would he influence, persuade, and affect? If he kept honing these skills, testing the boundaries, how far would he go? Tonight he would review everything, checking his progress, but for now, he was going to just enjoy this.
It was time to build his own world. And he would do so one encounter at a time. With a faint grin on his face, Jason continued down the street, heading off in the direction of his apartment. It was time to finally live his new life.
