Wish value plus one. Current progress, 25 of 10. You've shattered Dr. Connor's wish to
gain compensation.
Attribute point plus one. At this moment, the traffic police finally arrived and took over.
Keith no longer needed to worry about what to do next.
When the crowd dispersed, Keith smiled and said, Maxine, thank you very much for this.
Maxine smiled and said, my pleasure, Mr. Sanderburg. Yvette and I are good friends, and
we always stand by people who are important to us.
Keith was slightly surprised when he heard that. He looked at Yvette and saw her smiling
and nodding. He smiled back and said, I understand, and I repay loyalty with loyalty.
I'm glad to have you on my team. Maxine nodded and said, thank you, Mr. Sanderburg. I
won't let you down.
You've fulfilled Maxine's wish to rely on you. Wish value plus one. Current progress, 26 of
10.
Yvette looked at the woman who'd been hiding behind Keith and smiled. Mr. Sanderburg,
I don't know who this is. She's a friend.
We had plans to see a movie today. A friend? Yvette giggled and said, this friend is even
more beautiful than the last one I met. But since you have a movie to get to, we won't
trouble you any longer.
Keith laughed and said, well, why don't you guys come too? Oh, Yvette seemed
pleasantly surprised by the invitation. But when she turned to Maxine, she found that the
other woman had looked away awkwardly. Yvette gave a small sigh and said, actually,
Mr. Sanderburg, I think Maxine needs to get home.
Keith immediately sensed that something was wrong. He glanced at Maxine and noticed
the shadow of faint bruises on her arms and legs. Although she hid it well, how could she
hide it from his eyes? Domestic abuse? Keith wondered to himself and frowned slightly,
but he knew this wasn't the time or place to pry.
After a moment of silence, he said to Maxine, Mrs. Hargraves, if you ever have anything
you need to talk about, or if there's anything I can help you with, you can always talk to
me. If I can help, I'll help. Maxine looked at Keith gratefully.
It seemed like she wanted to say something, but all that came out was a small smile.
She shook her head and said, I appreciate it, Mr. Sanderburg, but don't worry about me.
I'm taking care of it.
Keith nodded. OK, well, I'll see you too soon then. Before he left, he said to Yvette, Miss
Sampson, tell Julian to send someone to pick up the helicopter and have a car sent over.
Yvette nodded and agreed. She suddenly leaned into Keith's ear and whispered, Mr.
Sanderburg, Miss Strauss seemed a little strange today. When I went to her office this
morning, it looked like she'd been crying.
Keith frowned and nodded. Thanks for letting me know. After everyone had left, Ari let
out a sigh of relief.
She looked at Keith with admiration and said, Keith, thank you so much. If it weren't for
you, I don't know what would have happened to me. Keith laughed and said, It's nothing.
Do you want to go freshen up? Ari hurriedly wiped her tears and said, Yeah, wait for me.
I'll be right back. Since they'd both arrived early, the movie had just begun.
It was a tragic romance, and Ari cried again and held Keith's hand tightly, as if afraid that
the man next to her would suddenly disappear. After the movie ended, the moon was
already high in the sky. Walking under the swaying string lights in the park, Ari hugged
Keith's arm and sighed over the male and female lead who couldn't be together in the
end.
As they walked, Ari's mood seemed to change. It was as if her entire person had become
nervous. After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath.
She took a few steps forward and turned to look at Keith seriously. She said, Keith, I
don't want to lose you. Keith stopped when he heard her.
He stared at her quietly. A wind blew past, blowing Ari's hair around her face. The lights
swayed and the stars lit up.
Ari was illuminated in front of him like a delicate flower in the darkness, beautiful and
pure. She looked at Keith, her face red but full of hope. What kind of answer would he
give her? After a period of unbearable silence, her courage gave out and she sprang
forward and hugged Keith.
I know, she sniffed, a man like you will be liked by so many people. I don't think I'm
better than all of them. And I can't make you like me.
I just want to be by your side. I'll be happy if I can.
What a pure and beautiful girl, Keith sighed in his heart. He reached out and wrapped his
arms around her, whispering, don't cry, don't worry, I'll protect you forever. It was as if
he said a thousand words in just that sentence.
Ari couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She hugged Keith tightly and sobbed. Whether
you love me or not, whether you choose to be with me or not, I'm yours.
I'll always be yours for the rest of my life. Ari's intimacy has reached the maximum value
of 100. You've obtained a wish treasure chest After activating it, you will immediately
receive a top reward.
Keith chose not to open the treasure chest immediately. Instead, he hugged Ari, letting
her cry in his arms. After a long time, Ari wiped her tears and looked at Keith with some
embarrassment.
Keith laughed and said, it's late, I'll take you home. Home? Ari lowered her head and
held Keith's hand. Her face became even redder.
Keith was a little surprised. Seeing that this idiot didn't understand her, Ari gritted her
teeth and pointed to a building nearby. There's a hotel right here.
Keith's eyebrows shot up. Then his face turned red too. Ari wanted to sleep with him.
Ari's palm felt hot as she held onto Keith's hand. And when she didn't get a response,
she pouted and said in a low voice, I don't want to be too hasty. If you have something to
do tonight, then next time.
Keith felt his heart beat faster. But after hesitating for a moment, he said, I really do
have something I have to do, but next time. He trailed off awkwardly before taking a
breath and saying, I'll take you home.
All right. Ari's voice was soft, but she was unwilling to let go of Keith's hand. You've
shattered Ari's wish to spend the night with you.
Attribute point plus one. A little while later, in a street not far from Westville, the BMW
slowly stopped. Ari sat in the passenger seat and secretly glanced at Keith.
Suddenly, her red lips lightly touched the young man's face and she said softly,
whenever you're free, I'll be around to, you know. She covered her face shyly and ran
into her house as fast as she could. Keith touched his face and felt some regret in his
heart.
But when he thought of the treasure chest he'd obtained, he immediately smiled. He
drove back to White Pine Gardens and went upstairs to find Dario live streaming. Megan
and Fran were already asleep, not wanting to disturb them.
He went back downstairs and headed towards Westville. It was already midnight and the
streets were quiet. After taking a deep breath, Keith said, system, open the treasure
chest for me.
Host has chosen to open the treasure chest. Rewards are currently being drawn for you.
Please wait a moment.
He didn't know what the so-called top reward of the system was. He held his breath and
waited quietly for the result. After a while, the voice of the system sounded in his mind.
Congratulations to Host for obtaining a new skill, spaced control. Description, after
activating the skill, Host is able to control the surrounding air currents to move and grab
objects. Current level, 1. Current weight limit, 2 pounds.
Note, with each increase in level, the weight of the object that can be grabbed increases
by a factor of 10. Each time you use this skill, a certain amount of stamina will be
consumed. Keith was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.
This was the kind of ability that he'd only ever seen in TV shows and movies. He waved
his hand at a brick not far away, sure enough, he felt a stream of air being driven by him.
The brick floated in the air, and in the next moment, it landed snugly in his palm.
Whoa! Keith shouted excitedly. This ability was like a superpower. Without hesitating, he
used the wish value he'd accumulated over the past few days to upgrade his skill.
Spaced control skill leveled up to level 3. Current weight limit, 200 pounds. Keith
immediately activated the skill again. A stream of air rotated slowly before his eyes.
The next moment, he stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist. Explode, he
called out. With a loud thump, a clear fist print appeared in a nearby tree.
200 pounds of strength couldn't be underestimated. If he wanted to, he could strangle
someone using nothing but air. With the power of Thor and spaced control, he'd already
broken away from the realm of mortals.
Suddenly, his heart stopped. If he could control the airflow, could he make the currents
carry him? Could he fly? Keith took a deep breath and activated spaced control again. As
he directed the skill, a stream of air wrapped around his body, and he slowly began to
float upwards.
Holy shit, I can fly! Keith cried out in amazement. He didn't care about being discovered
and concentrated all his strength on the air currents around him. With a whooshing sound, his entire body shot into the sky like a cannonball.
After the initial panic, he quickly regained his composure. By now, he was already in the
sky, above his head were the clouds, and beneath his feet was a tall building. This
feeling of looking down on all living things made him want to scream out loud.
But before he had time to be happy, he suddenly realized that he only had ten stamina
left. He was so frightened by the realization that his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly
descended. Fortunately, he landed safely on the ground.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and then a cold sweat and a sense of emptiness rushed
over him all at once. Stamina and spirit energy were the foundations for unleashing
skills. No matter how high his power was, without the support of stamina, he wouldn't be
able to throw out more than a few punches.
Similarly, no matter how strong the power of Thor was, without the support of spiritual
energy, he wouldn't be able to use it. He roughly calculated that every time he used
space control at full strength, he would consume five stamina. If he continued to fly, he
would only be able to last for three minutes before his stamina was exhausted.
And if he used the power of Thor at level four, it consumed spiritual energy almost twice
as fast as when it was at level three. His twenty-six points of spiritual energy would
disappear after just a few cracks of lightning. If he wanted to continue becoming
stronger, the most important thing right now was to increase all of his attributes.
Currently, he had eleven free attribute points. After thinking for a while, he added five of
them to spiritual energy, two to power and one to stamina. The current changes to his
stats window were as follows.
Power 32, Dexterity 32, Stamina 31, Spiritual Energy 30, Charm 9. Your spiritual energy
has reached a round number. I'm currently drawing a reward for you. Congratulations.
Host obtains a reward of five charm value points. Charm. When Keith heard this, he let
out a sigh.
Although it wasn't a bad reward, and couldn't make him look even more handsome, he
didn't really care about this aspect. No matter how much charm he had, it wasn't as
awesome as a system connection character or a superpower. As the system's voice
faded, Keith felt a warm current surge through his body.
His face was bright and glowing, and his eyes carried a hint of profoundness. His entire
temperament seemed to have been sublimated once again. Keith smiled faintly at the
change.
After confirming his direction, he walked towards Westville. Keith opened the door to the
