He'd just been boasting shamelessly just now. If Keith wanted payback, he could have
Benny's father fired with just one phone call. Ari was also looking at Keith with shock in
her eyes.
Her intuition told her that the relationship between Keith and Olivia was definitely not
simple. She mustered up her courage and asked, uh, Miss Strauss, may I ask what your
relationship with Keith is? Keith? Yes, Ari replied. You two seem so familiar with each
other.
Olivia looked at Keith and said, Keith is my family. Family? Benny and Mr. Park's faces
turned pale. This kid really was part of the Strauss family.
Ari, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. Olivia had a feeling that something wasn't
right. She looked at Mr. Park and Benny and frowned slightly.
Keith, have you been causing trouble again? What? Keith snapped. Does it look like
there's any trouble here? He looked at Benny and laughed. This kind young man here
offered me a job washing cars at his dad's mall.
He was going to take me down there later to take a look. By this point, Benny's legs
could hardly keep him upright. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and even his lips
were a little pale.
The person in front of him was the CEO of the company that owned his dad's mall. If she
knew what he just said to Keith, his father would be fired in no time. Fortunately, Olivia
was in a hurry and didn't take Keith's words seriously.
She just snorted and said, stop wasting time talking nonsense. Oh, when you're done
with your sister, remember to report to the company. At least show your face.
As she said that, she climbed back into the Rolls-Royce. Vivian had watched the entire
exchange and taken in their expressions. She'd already guessed the situation.
As she passed Keith, she smiled and said softly, you certainly are interesting, Mr.
Sanderberg. The corner of Keith's mouth curled up and just as quietly, he replied, your
tie is crooked, Vivian. Huh? Vivian looked down and found that her tie was indeed a little
crooked.
She laughed lightly and said, oh, we'll talk more soon. Bye for now. She looked at Benny
and waved impatiently, signaling him to move his car out of the road.
A few minutes later, there were only a few people left on the scene. Keith looked at
Benny and said with a cold smile, didn't you say you wanted to go to your dad's mall to see about a job? Why are you still here? Benny's face was pale and he said with a
trembling voice, Mr. Sanderberg, I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. Keith laughed. Actually, I meant, weren't you going to take Mr. Park
there? Benny thought that Keith was being serious and he was so scared that he couldn't
stand still.
If his father was fired, he'd be finished. Seeing the young man so scared, Keith raised his
eyebrows and looked at Mr. Park. Mr. Park, what did you just say about the difference
being clear? You're right.
I suppose there is a bit of difference between this young man and me. I won't disturb you
guys any longer. Goodbye.
Keith turned and walked slowly down the street. You've shattered Benny's wish to mock
you. Attribute point plus one.
You've shattered Ari's father's wish to put you down. Attribute point plus one. Mr. Park
was unable to say a single word as he watched Keith leave.
He hated himself for being so blind. Compared to Keith, this trembling young man beside
him was nothing. Even Benny's father couldn't compare to a single strand of hair on
Keith's leg.
How could he have been so foolish? Ari felt that Keith had been wronged. After glaring at
her father in anger, she ran down the street to chase after him. Under the shade of a
large magnolia tree, she looked at Keith with tears in her eyes and said, Keith, are we
still friends? Keith smiled and said, well, your father doesn't want us to be friends.
I, Ari's eyes turned red. You're still angry. My dad's a snob, but I, I don't want to lose you
as a friend.
Keith looked at her seriously and asked, what if I was still that poor kid? Would you still
chase me? Yes. Ari exclaimed, I don't care if you have money or not. Looking at Ari's red
eyes and earnest expression, Keith knew that she wasn't lying.
He smiled and said, didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal in a movie? I'll wait for your
call. He laughed and walked away. Watching him go, Ari wiped away her tears and her
face finally broke into a smile.
You fulfilled Ari's wish to continue being friends. Wish value plus one. Current progress,
three of 10.
Despite everything that had just happened, Keith was still very happy inside. He'd
obtained another three attribute points, which he immediately added to his stamina,
taking it up to 29 points in total. There was just one more point left before he got another prize.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing, a loud shout came from behind him. Keith turned in
surprise and saw a little boy about to run across the road. Keith lunged forward and
scooped the little boy up before he could run into the road.
Seconds later, a woman hurried over and Keith handed the little boy over to her. The
woman thanked him repeatedly and the voice of the system rang in Keith's mind. You
saved the little boy from running into the road.
Attribute point plus one. Keith laughed and nodded at the woman. He quickly walked
away and added this point to his stamina.
You have an attribute that has reached a whole number, selecting a random reward for
you. Congratulations. Post obtains a reward with a one in a thousand chance.
Post gains one system connection character selecting a candidate. Please wait a
moment. Keith was stunned.
He'd originally thought that he'd be thankful if he could draw a skill, but he didn't expect
to draw a system connection character. If he cultivated a maximum intimacy score with
this connection, he'd be able to draw another treasure chest. He suddenly came back to
his senses and started praying.
Draw my mom. Draw my mom. Draw my mom.
His mother's intimacy level was probably full from the moment Keith had been born.
Congratulations. The selected system connection character is Ari Park.
Current intimacy, 50. Why her? Keith sighed
.
Ari's starting intimacy of fifty was a lot stronger than Olivia's negative seventy. He still
wasn't that close to Ari, and he had fewer opportunities to spend time with her. It would
be more difficult to increase intimacy with Ari than with Olivia.
Fifty intimacy? Is Ari secretly in love with me? Keith smiled to himself as he walked
towards the nearby market. He picked up some ingredients and returned to his
apartment, but when he entered, he was slightly stunned at what greeted him. The
apartment was quiet, except for a slight snoring sound coming from the bedroom.
When he pushed open the door, he saw that his sister and Fran were both still sleeping.
The room smelled like teenagers, and there were clothes scattered randomly across the
floor. Keith rolled his eyes and shook Megan awake before snapping at her.
Hey, it's already ten o'clock. Do you still want tutoring? Megan rolled over in a daze and
mumbled. Hey bro, I stayed up playing with Daria last night.
Let me sleep a while longer. Keith looked at his sister speechlessly. She had actually
spent the whole night gaming with his roommate.
Was she going to sleep for the whole day? And anyway, since when did she and Daria
become so friendly? He looked at Fran instead, and saw that her phone was propped up
on the nightstand, and her headphones were scattered on the pillow beside her. It
looked like she had stayed up watching a television series the whole night. Keith sighed
and covered the two girls with the blanket.
He shook his head and went to cook breakfast. In the next few days, he went to the park
every morning to earn his free attribute points, then went to buy breakfast and
groceries. During the day, he would tutor Megan and Fran and help them with their
homework.
At night, he would sit beside Daria on her livestreams, steadily gaining more fans. His life
was quite fulfilling. During this period, he accumulated 23 wish points.
Although he only needed 10 to make a regular wish, he was saving them up until he
reached 40, as this was the total he needed to upgrade his Power of Thor skill from level
3 to level 4. As for the attribute points he earned, after increasing his stamina to 30, he
went on to accumulate a total of 8 points. He planned to save them for now, in case of
emergencies. And while all this was going on, the videos of his violin performance and
the duet he'd played with Olivia were still bringing a large amount of traffic to his
Mastodon site.
