As it turned out, after the jog and lunch, Lena's sex drive and desire levels rocketed to the roof. After she showered, she began to pleasure herself once more.
"Oooh you want to make babies again?" She said to herself, seemingly drowning in some kind of self-fantasy. "We already have four!" She pushed the toy into her lower parts. "Oh darling. Come, make me pregnant again."
Jon smirked. "Oh dear. Why was she so perverted. Was this intentional, System?"
[Yes. The first target is usually a practice case, so we try to identify those that have overwhelming desire and are not far from the tipping point. As the system, we will also aid you in your first target by helping you with relevant skills. As you gain power, you'll find that the other targets are not so easy, and require more elaborate schemes. But we, the system, believe you will solve these challenges. ]
"I see." It made perfect sense for the first target to be easy. "There will be others who are just as easy?"
[Yes.]
"Why can't I just uh... harvest their energies first before challenging stronger targets?'
[You could.]
Jon smirked. He paid attention to Lena again, and she thrust the toy into her, moaning to his name.
[Lena Laven's corruption level - 9/10]
[You've gained a Level. NTR System Level 8!]
[Pocket Money (passive) - Level 1]
[You'll generate $30 dollars a day.]
"Nice." Jon smirked. "Actually, system, what happens when corruption maxes out?'
[It's not maxed out yet. It's currently at Level 0. After reaching 10/10, it'll increase to level 1].
"Oh. So it's 9/10 at level 0."
[Yes.]
"Ah. What's the max level?"
[Depends on individual and the path you took with the target.]
"I see."
He checked his bank account, and it worked. He suddenly had $210 cash in his account, instead of $180. With this, he roughly had an idea.
He immediately went to his phone, bought a cheap set of badminton rackets and shuttlecocks for a total of $65, but he paid an extra $5 to get same-day delivery,
He got them that night itself.
He was left with $110.

The next day, Jon waited for Lena to join him, and she did. She wore a black T-shirt, black shorts and striped running shoes.
"Sorry I'm late." Lena said.
"No issues." Jon said. "Let's go?"
They jogged quietly, and for a moment, it almost seemed like they were comfortable around each other. Because Lena was a trusting person, despite her initial disgust. They jogged a little longer, for about one hour.
[Vigor increased to 11]
"Ah." Jon stretched after they were done. He was super sweaty, and his body odor was overwhelming. "That felt good."
Yet Lena sat on the next seat, with just a small distance between them. She nodded. "Yeah."
Her eyes kept looking at his pants. His running shorts were loose, so it wasn't very clear when it wasn't erect.
Jon offered lunch again. "Let's have lunch?"
Lena thought for a moment, and nodded. "I'll pay this time. You know any place where it's less than $20 per person?"
Jon shrugged. "Alright. I know one."

They settled for a small pasta joint around the corner. It's slightly more expensive at $18 per person, but they served fairly good carbonara. Fairly good, because they still used milk, instead of eggs, but Jon didn't really care.
He wasn't there for the food. He was there to win over Lena Laven. He decided to focus on getting information about her husband. If the system selected Lena Laven, there had to be a reason. It's likely that the husband is also up to no good.
"Food's pretty good." Lena said as she slurped down the last carbonara. "I can't cook these sort of food."
"It's alright." Jon smiled. "By the way, tell me more about your husband."
Lena described her husband as a workaholic, but her childhood sweetheart. She loved how sweet he was during their high school and college years, and she was loyal to her since. But after he started work, he really, really focused on work.
Work drove him, and even on weekends, her husband would go out and work. They'd have projects after projects, and somehow, he kept taking them on.
She didn't talk about how she tried to seduce him to no avail. Lena thought about how her husband said he loved her, he said, but every time, he seemed too tired to participate in anything.
For Jon, he watched and Lena explained, and he kept looking at her husband's photo, and then memorized her name. It also wasn't difficult to find out which company her husband worked for. He took out his phone and recorded the details.
"Also. Would you be free to play badminton with me? Tomorrow?"
Lena looked at Jon, a bit curious. "Eh?"
"I've got the equipment, and the cock."
Lena blushed at the innuendo, but then took out her phone. "What- what time? It's a weekend tomorrow, my husband might be home."
Jon smiled. "I've got a slot at 10am."
Lena nodded. "Let me ask my husband."
The housewife then texted her husband, wondering whether her husband would be home. Strangely, it made her feel conflicted. A part of her really wanted to play badminton.
"Hubby, are you working tomorrow?"
Her husband didn't reply. Lena churned, inwardly, she wondered whether she shouldn't have texted him, and wait for him to get home. But he got home so late every night, and usually he was so tired that he barely has the energy to talk to her.
"You alright?" Jon asked. It was easy to spot when she was worried.
"Ah. Yes. I'm- I'm just waiting for my husband to reply."
"I see." Jon said, and then asked. "Do you like coffee? Want a latte or a cappuccino? Since you're buying the food, I'll pay for drinks."
Lena paused, and let out a long sigh. She decided to stop thinking about what her husband would think for a moment.
"Coffee?" Jon asked with the casual, confident friendliness.
She nodded. "Yeah. Sure."
A latte and a cappuccino came soon after. The pasta place wasn't cheap, the coffee cost a total of $24 for two cups. Jon figured this was an investment.
Her mood improved after the first sip of her cappuccino.
"You're such a beauty, it's not good to frown and look so worried."
"-I was?" Lena paused. "I- I didn't realize."
Jon laughed. "Yes. Look at me. I lost my job, but I'm still happy. What I realize, of course, is I should focus on my own happiness first. If I keep trying to make others happy, I'll be left with nothing. So, live in the moment. Enjoy your coffee."
The housewife sipped her coffee again, and she smiled.
Jon naturally smiled back. He wasn't handsome. In fact, some would say he's even ugly. But not everyone cared about appearances. Lena might've mind appearances, but now she looked past that. "See, you're so much prettier when you smile."
Jon took his phone.
"Smile!" He snapped a photo, and then showed it to her. Lena looked at her own photo. She really was smiling. "You look happy."
Lena then felt her phone vibrate. Her husband replied.
"Yes. I'll be working tomorrow till late again."
Lena thought she would sigh, but strangely, she wasn't. Instead, she happily looked up at Jon. "Alright. I can join you for badminton."
"Fantastic. Can't wait to see you tomorrow."
