Clenching his fists and feeling the power surging through his body like a mighty river, Shiroko nodded in satisfaction.
Then, looking at the comprehensive strength evaluation on his attribute panel, he asked softly, "System, what are the requirents for to break through to Tier 4?"
"Four hundred? I didn't expect it to double directly!"
By now, he had roughly figured out the System's chanics. Whether it was upgrading abilities or overall strength, the cost increased exponentially.
Even the Gene Potions, which directly increased his four main attributes, followed this rule.
[Na: Tier 3 Gene Potion] [Level: None] [Effect: Increases all four main attributes by 10 points upon consumption.] [Description: A System product guarantees high quality. Suitable for Tier 3 individuals. Price: 400 Enhancent Points.]
Understanding this, Shiroko closed the attribute panel in satisfaction. Embracing the warm, soft body in his arms, he drifted off into a deep slumber.
The next morning, waking up to Mitsuko's special wake-up service, he gave the beautiful woman a good morning kiss, hastily ate breakfast, and headed out.
After all, he had already made a promise to Marina. It wouldn't be good if he stood her up and made his little girlfriend angry!
Watching Shiroko's retreating back, Mitsuko gently touched her jade-like face. She pouted her cherry lips, a faint trace of resentnt in her eyes as she muttered, "Honestly, he doesn't even stay ho to accompany on the weekend. Have I lost my charm?"
At the Kanzaki residence, standing before the brown door, Shiroko gently pressed the doorbell.
"Ding-dong."
A mont later, the door opened.
But the person who opened it wasn't Marina or Airi. Instead, it was a beautiful woman wearing pure white loungewear. She had a voluptuous figure and exuded a mature aura from head to toe.
This woman was none other than Marina and Airi's mother—Kanzaki Kayoko!
However, at this mont, a faint sorrow lingered on her mature, charming face.
Instinctively, Shiroko cast an [Eye of Investigation] on her:
[Na: Kanzaki Miyoko] [Age: 38] [Personality: Gentle, kind, strong] [Hobbies: Cooking, Yoga] [Sensitive Spot: Earlobe] [Appearance Score: 91] [Affection Level: 55] [Strength: Tier 1 Lower Stage] [Recent Thoughts: 'The murderer who killed Mr. Akizuki hasn't been caught yet. Just who could have...']
At the sa ti, a brand-new mission appeared on the quest panel.
As soon as it appeared, a System prompt rang in Shiroko's ears.
Faced with this sudden surprise, Shiroko couldn't help but feel a bit astonished. "System, I've already killed Akizuki Kozo. How can it still trigger a mission?"
"System! You really are a conscientious System!"
Hearing the System's explanation, Shiroko couldn't help but praise it.
Compared to those systems that constantly exploited and extorted their hosts, his System could simply be called the conscience of the industry, a shining beacon of justice.
[SYSTEM: I'm not that great.]
Although it seed like he had been conversing with the System for a long ti, because the exchange happened in his mind, only a split second had passed in the outside world.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, who resembled a ripe peach, Shiroko revealed a warm smile. "Hello, Mrs. Kanzaki!"
Kayoko had a very good impression of this humble and polite young nobleman. She nodded in response. "Hello, Hanyu! You must be here for Marina. She's still eating breakfast, so please co in and have a seat first!"
Saying that, she stepped slightly to the side, making way for him.
"Pardon the intrusion."
...
Walking into the living room, Marina, who was eating breakfast, saw Shiroko. Her eyes imdiately curved into sweet crescents as she said in a soft voice, "Please wait a mont, Yuichi. We'll be done eating right away!"
"It's fine, take your ti! I'm in no rush!"
Hearing this, Shiroko smiled faintly and shook his head.
As he spoke, his gaze casually drifted toward Airi, who was sitting to the side.
Reading the young girl's inner thoughts at that mont, the corners of Shiroko's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
'What a tsundere girl!'
Soon, the two sisters finished the sandwiches in their hands.
Looking at Kayoko, Marina said with a look of anticipation, "Mom, we made a promise with Yuichi earlier to go to the amusent park together, so..."
"Go ahead! Just rember to stay safe!"
"Mhm! We're heading out then!"
Nodding hastily, Marina imdiately pulled Airi along and walked toward Shiroko.
Standing up from the sofa, Shiroko looked at Kayoko and promised gently, "Rest assured, Mrs. Kanzaki, I will protect Marina and Airi well!"
Hearing Shiroko's promise, a gentle smile appeared on Kayoko's face. "Then I'll leave my two mischievous daughters in your care, Hanyu."
"It's my pleasure!"
Regarding her mother's evaluation, Airi expressed a little dissatisfaction in her heart. 'So annoying. I'm not mischievous at all.'
To get to the amusent park, the fastest mode of transportation was naturally the train.
However, Shiroko rejected this option without a second thought.
As the dignified young chairman of the Hanyu Group, wouldn't he be out of his mind to squeeze into a train with a bunch of corporate slaves instead of taking a perfectly good private car?!
Furthermore, in this decaying world, there was no shortage of disgusting things like train molesters.
He didn't want the two girls to witness such a filthy sight.
Arriving at a blue-and-gold luxury car parked by the roadside, which featured a fully streamlined design, Shiroko took the keys from his pocket. He opened the car door and bowed slightly. "Please get in, you two beautiful ladies. Today, I will personally act as your driver and take you to the amusent park."
This car was exactly what Shiroko had won from the lottery the night before: a collector's edition Lamborghini Veneno.
With only a hundred units released worldwide, it was incredibly difficult to obtain, even with endless wealth.
But for Shiroko, who possessed the System, it was just a drop in the bucket!
