Status Update

After filling himself up and chatting with his sister, Christian was now back in his room.

He decided to open his status window, as it had been some time since he last checked it.

[Idle System]

Host: Christian White

Level: 14 (EXP: 2.000/9.000)

Comprehension: 42

Unassigned Points: 0

Skills: Intermediate Trading Lv.9(52%) , Passion Reader Lv.- , Intermediate Program Hacking Lv.5(87%) , Basic Kinetix Body Building Lv.4(66%) , High School Knowledge Lv.10(Max) , Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Lv.3(70%)

Idle practicing slots:(0/3)

Looking at his status, Christian felt like there were noticeable changes, but at the same time, they didn't seem significant enough to really make a difference.

His level had increased to fourteen two days ago, and while he now gained nearly a thousand experience points daily, he still felt it was a slow progress.

The thought of studying to raise his skills faster had crossed his mind once, but Christian dismissed it in the end. Last week, when he had to juggle gathering information through hacking and working on trading, had been exhausting enough.

He didn't want to repeat that experience, especially since he didn't feel like studying alone without gaining experience was particularly efficient either.

So that would leave him with his previous idea, advancing his skills to get more experience, and the highest level skill currently is Intermediate Trading at nine, which could advance by five day or maybe a little shorter by his calculations.

That left Christian with his original plan: advancing his skills to gain more experience.

His highest-level skill at the moment was Intermediate Trading, currently sitting at level nine, and based on his calculations, it could reach the next level in about five days, maybe even a little sooner.

However, due to the recent events at school, Christian had paused his progress in Intermediate Trading and was now using his first Idle Practicing slot for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instead.

After thinking it over for a bit, Christian decided to go ahead and focus on Trading again.

He decided to place it in the first slot, replacing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as it was currently last in his priority skill ranking after all.

Although he was more eager to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to see if the higher levels would take the same time to learn, Christian reasoned that he could focus on that later since he was not in a hurry anyway.

Maybe when his Program Hacking skill advances, he would change them again, as he felt he didn't need the Trading skill to be that high level, and he was already making plenty of money.

Or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu could wait until he got the fourth slot. Which one would be faster, he wasn't sure.

Anyway, his highest priority now was leveling up.

His level and skills aside, there was also his constitution, which had not been raised again till now.

While he felt that he had become stronger and his constitution should improve by nearly a week again, he was still not entirely satisfied with the speed of its progression.

Had he focused on raising his constitution instead of comprehension, he would have gained nearly supernatural power by now. The difference between a constitution level of forty and eight was that significant.

But he still hadn't found a solution for it, as he still felt it was a waste to use the unassigned points on constitution.

So after staring at the word "constitution" and number beside it for a long time, Christian decided to wait. He didn't have another choice and thought that maybe his body-building skill would undergo a transformation after advancing.

Filled with hope, Christian closed his status window.

He was now thinking about his previous problem again—he needed someone to handle the work for him, as he really didn't want to repeat the exhausting tasks he had last week.

He had previously set a schedule for himself, but he hadn't stayed committed to it at all.

Facing a situation where he might be forced to work could happen at any time again, and it wasn't a solution to always rely on the same approach.

After struggling with the problem for some time without finding a solution, he also decided to leave it to time for now.

Starting tomorrow, with the holiday ahead, Christian figured he wouldn't have much to do. He planned to return to his previous schedule, allowing himself plenty of rest, and indulging in games and anime.

After checking his status and making up his mind, Christian summoned his first idle slot and changed it to Trading.

[First Slot - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - 14:40:01/24:00:00]

[You have received 160 Experience]

[The skill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu had become Lv.3(87%)] 

[The Idle Practice at the first slot, Trading has started]

Closing his eyes, Christian felt the changes taking place in most of the muscles in his body as he also processed the small amount of information he received.

He needed a bit more time to adapt to the changes happening, unlike when he was just receiving information.

And after finishing, he proceeded to set up the other idle practicing slots, spending also a bit more time on his body building skill.

Thankfully, because of the large amount of food he had eaten earlier, he didn't feel hungry again.

After everything was done, Christian went to take a bath again, this time taking his time and relaxing unlike before.

Now lying in bed as usual, Christian began to ponder all kind of things again. His most pressing curiosity was why the math teacher had gone to a different location today instead of heading home.

He recalled from his previous searches that there was no one related to him or of particular interest in that area.

Christian felt an intense curiosity, almost overwhelming, and the idea of heading to his computer to hack and search for answers crossed his mind.

But he didn't want to make a habit of it; if he started hacking every time curiosity struck, there would be no end to it after all.

So while battling with his curiosity, Christian finally fell asleep.
