Showbiz 23-Mission Upgrade?

Gian froze as the old woman in front of him pointed, then held out both hands with a serious face. Erica was also surprised because it was unusual for her grandmother to behave this way.

"You... you're so handsome!" she exclaimed as she held Lux Osiris' handsome face.

"Grandma!" Erica exclaimed in embarrassment. Gian could only chuckle softly. He was wary because the grandmother's gaze was like a thug.

"Your skin is so smooth," added the old lady which made Gian could only surrender when Lux's handsome face was groped by her.

"Grandma, don't embarrass me! He's... he's my boss!" she exclaimed which made the old lady immediately let go of her hands.

"Really? It turns out that your boss is handsome and young. However, as I recall, you used to say that your boss was fierce and had a scary face like a lion," said the grandmother as she recalled.

Gian chuckled softly. He knew who his grandmother was referring to. Yes, that fierce man was Leon from the Emerald Group. Erica panicked and immediately took her grandmother into the house. Gian looked back, to make sure he wasn't followed by someone.

When he closed the door, he was amazed because his grandmother's house was almost similar to one of the villas he had rented for a corporate event. Unfortunately, at that time, Gian did not participate because certain people only attended the event. The memory made Gian upset again. For some reason, the bad things that happened while he lived on Earth, often appear in his memory without his will.

DING!

[Gian Everest. New missions and rewards ready to be given]

Gian gasped instantly.

"Young master Lux, are you alright?" asked Erica which made Lux immediately look at her closely.

"Yes, I... can I go to the bathroom?" Lux asked reluctantly.

"Of course. You can even use our best room. Come on, I'll take you there," said the grandmother, which made Erica very worried after she found out that the grandmother had a crush on handsome men.

"Thank you, Grandma. That's very kind of you. I can go by myself," Lux said, which was returned with a smile from the shoulder-high old woman.

Gian locked the bathroom door and stepped into the tub. He covered himself with the curtain after placing his mobile phone on the sink counter.

"A new mission and a new gift? Okay, I'm ready," Gian replied softly as he leaned back as if he was soaking.

[Third mission. Gather 500 fans of Lux Osiris. Duration : 2 weeks]

Gian paused for a moment. "Why not just 800 people? I mean... Erica managed to gather up to 200 people. I had already told the people at the banquet that Lux Osiris had a fan group with 1000 members."

[Do you want to upgrade the mission?]

"Yes. If I succeed, double my reward. How?" asked Gian negotiating.

[This is the first time this has happened in the system. However, the Showbiz system approved it. But, the time duration cannot be increased]

Gian again paused in thought, but nodded in agreement. "Then, what's the prize?"

[Your sister Rin and your mum, will get health insurance like Justin]

"Yes!" Gian exclaimed happily, but then closed his mouth tightly, worried if Erica and the grandmother were suspicious of his movements while in the bathroom. "Okay, I accept."

[Say it : I'm ready to do the mission 'Gather 800 fans of Lux Osiris' to start]

'I'm ready to do the mission 'Gather 800 fans of Lux Osiris',' Gian replied firmly.

[The mission starts from now. Time remaining, 14 days at 11pm Planet Luna time]

Gian smiled with a nod. As he was about to stand up, he sat back down in the bathtub. "Oh, I found another one about the difference between Planet Luna and Earth."

[Say]

'It's just that, if my answer is correct, can the gift be given tomorrow? It would be strange if my mum received gifts continuously in proximity. It looks like it's intentional. She will definitely get suspicious," Gian said with a furrowed brow.

[The system can do it. If your answer is correct, the gift will be given to your mum three days from now]

Gian's smile grew instantly. "Well, here we go," he said seriously. "The fashion style of the people on Planet Luna is arguably less varied. During the few days I stayed, their clothes were formal. On Earth, there's a lot of diversity. I mean, there are those who wear hats of various shapes, clothes with bright colors and striking patterns, shoes with various types of styles, including the way they dress up. Only a few people I saw had styles like Senia with pink hair, and me with purple. The rest had normal hair colors and standard haircuts," Gian said, recalling the people he met.

[Congratulations, Gian. You found one more difference between Earth and Planet Luna. A reward of $500 USD will be sent to your mother, three days from now. The system will notify you when your mum receives the gift]

Gian let out a long breath. He was happy to be able to give money to his mother, where Camela aspired to buy a shop to restore her cake business. The purple-haired man then got up and got out of the tub. He put his mobile phone back in his trouser pocket, washed his hands and washed his face. Until he remembered that Lux Osiris had a routine ritual before going to bed.

DING!

Gian gasped when he heard the familiar sound of the system in his ears. His heart was suddenly beating fast as if he sensed a threat.

[Gian Everest. If you fail to take care of your body before going to bed, the system will reduce the luster of Lux Osiris' hair by 5% every day. The remaining time given, one hour. This mission is valid every day and the punishment will change when one of the beauties of Lux Osiris's body is already 0]

"How is this? My grooming kit is at home. Shit!" Gian screeched as he scratched his head.

He panicked and didn't know what to do. Gian came out of the bathroom in a hurry and almost bumped into Erica.

"Are you alright, Young Master Lux? I'm sorry, but please keep your voice down, grandma is asleep," Erica whispered.

"Oh, sorry. I... is there a shop nearby that sells skin care products? I forgot to bring my equipment," Lux asked unable to cover his panic.

"Unfortunately, that shop is quite far away. What do you need? Honestly, I have some skin care products from your advertisements," replied Erica which made Lux's face light up instantly.

"Show me," Lux asked which Erica nodded.

The young woman seemed reluctant to show him her room. However, Gian's eyes were only focused on the beauty products that Erica had. However, the type of product was different.

"This... this is specifically for women. I can't use it. It has to be exactly like mine," he said which made Erica confused. "Borrow your car. I'll look for it at a shop around here. I'll use the app to find the route."

"I'll just drop you off. Grandmother is already asleep, she won't wake up until early in the morning. It's okay, I have tomorrow off," Erica replied which Lux immediately nodded.

Gian didn't even care if he was still wearing those pink fluffy slippers. He was panicking and afraid that his hair would turn dull like Gian Everest. Erica glanced a few times and could see the panic from Lux. It was very different from what she saw during the meeting that time. In fact, the condition during the meeting was more tense than now.

"Apparently, taking care of your body is very important to you, Young Master Lux," said Erica reluctantly.

"Yes, I can't be ugly. Mm, I mean... my fans will definitely be disappointed if they see their idol not looking good. I don't want that to happen. What I'm doing is for them," Lux said which ended with a smile.

Erica smiled back and hurriedly brought her idol to a shop that was open 24 hours. "Well, we're already together-- eh?"

Lux just got out of the car. Leaving Erica behind, he hurried to choose a skin care product. Erica hadn't even turned off the engine. When she tried to catch up with the idol, Lux was already running towards her.

"Only 20 minutes left! It's bad! It's bad! Let's go home, Erica. Hurry up!" Lux begged, which confused Erica, who finally nodded in understanding.

Gian tried to do body care in installments with the items he had bought. Erica was amazed because she had never seen Lux do that before, but she was very curious. Lux, who was sitting in the back seat, seemed to be focused on what he was doing. He brushed his teeth and threw his spittle through the window when Erica was asked to pull over. He used floss to clean the dirt between his teeth using a small mirror he bought.

"Damn, I need to wash my face!" he screeched when he saw that the distance to Erica's house was still quite far.

"I'll speed up," said Erica who swiftly stepped on the accelerator.

The car travelled fast and almost made Lux tumble over. Gian took advantage of that by combing his hair first to make it look neat. When the car had just entered the courtyard, Lux immediately came out running. Erica was really puzzled by the idol's behavior which was very surprising to her. Erica went inside and peeked because Lux didn't close the door of his room.

"Oh!" she said in a stifled voice, surprised to see Lux in nothing but his underwear as he groomed himself.

Erica was mesmerized. She was transfixed by Lux's body which was so athletic with solid muscles all over. Her feet were like cement, so it was hard to move from there. She did not care if Lux caught her. She did not want to miss this beautiful sight for a second.

Erica didn't even blink when she saw Lux washing his face and then wiping it with a towel until it was dry. Lux repeatedly looked at the wall clock as if he was in a hurry to do something. Afterward, he applied lotion to his body. Erica swallowed, her heart beating fast. She was already very sure that her mouth was gaping wide just from seeing the idol.

"Shit... shit!" screeched Gian in a panic as he saw the hands of the clock ready to move to the last minute while he was wearing his newly purchased sleeping pajamas.
