[ 2) Give up, go to the bathroom and slap yourself. (Reward = $10k)]
[ 3) Give up, go to the bathroom and slap yourself until you pass out. (Reward = $100k)] Leo looked at the second and third options. While the third option was close to impossible to do, the reward for the second option was too small. After thinking for a while, Leo was forced himself to return to the first option. Considering Uncle Berk's personality, giving him a surprise slap wasn't too difficult. Leo jumped a few times and, after feeling his own health, was sure that he could easily escape from him, but he would have to face the consequences that followed if he slapped a family friend, after all. After thinking for a while, he remembered that he was a devout person and prepared a plan based on this, but he was still uneasy in his heart about what he was about to do. Was it worth it? Absolutely. If Leo managed to start the car, then slowly approached Uncle Berk, and suddenly slapped him, Uncle Berk would probably first grab him by the collar and then ask for the reason. After all, they weren't strangers, isn't it? Then, Leo, if he managed to start the car this time, would say that he had made a promise to God to slap Uncle Berk. Uncle Berk would probably retaliate with a hard slap first and likely lecture him verbally for a while, but knowing it was a promise made to God, he would drop the matter. Although Leo's family and Uncle Berk did not believe in the same religion, Uncle Berk had advised Leo many times in the past to believe a god and do not became an atheist. So, a god entering the picture could easily save Leo from that quagmire. After Leo paid the price. But what exactly did third-level racing skills mean? Leo tried to call out to the System for a while to find something like a profile screen, but the System clearly did not have such a thing. Furthermore, the System was still not answering any of his questions. Leo sighed, looked at his options one more time, and began to complain. "Can you give me a more ridiculous mission, you fucking System? Also, why are all the missions about physically slapping someone? Shouldn't a Face-Slapping System be asking me to embarrass my next-door neighbor by with driving skills? and than you give me the skill. Why does it have to be a physical slap? Is your creator have a weird fetish or something?" As Leo cursed the System, raising his voice more and more, he noticed a new option appearing among the System choices and immediately turned his attention back to the System with hope. [ 4) Call Sandara on your phone and tell her she needs to come home urgently. When she arrives, punish her by giving her a harsh slap. (Reward = $1M)] "Hey hey hey hey System! When I asked if you could give me a more ridiculous mission, what I was doing was a theoretical explanation and a complaint. IT WASN'T A DAMN CHALLENGE! FUCKKK!" While Leo liked the money prize when he looked at the last option again, the worries he had pushed aside came to his mind. Did Sandara's father truly let out his anger with a kick? Or was he digging a grave beforehand, like villains in movies, to kill and bury him? We are living in a lawful society, after all. Leo sat in the 'thinking man' position in the air for a while and grew silent, then decided to cut contact with Sandara and move out of the city early. In fact, thinking about it, he had a vehicle worth 1 billion won completely belonging to him in his garage. He could probably easily start a new life in another city by selling that car. After leaving tomorrow's work for tomorrow, Leo apologized to Uncle Berk internally and returned to the garage, sitting in the seat of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 to start working. ....... For those who are confused, let me answer a few open-ended questions. After all, I don't want some people to quit reading my novel early because of these open-ended issues. 1 - When will the system change? Answer) The minimum requirement for system restructuring is that the total energy amount in the luck tubes that have become part of the system is enough to completely fill one tube. The maximum requirement is that one of the luck-collecting tubes, either good or bad luck, is completely full. 2 - Why didn't Leo realize he had been unconscious for two days? Is he an idiot? No, he is not an idiot, but he is very unlucky. The last time the system swallowed the energies, it mostly swallowed bad luck, so the system was restructured as a low-quality system, and Leo's luck is very low. Normally, a main character would benefit from guides that appear by chance to figure out the duration of the time they were unconscious. The only calendar Leo saw was the physical calendar on the wall, and it was still showing the exam day. Furthermore, Leo, like many people, ignores the phone's calendar when he opens his phone. 3 - Why didn't anyone see Leo, even though he lay unconscious in front of the open main door for two days? The answer to this question is entirely luck, and this is also one of the reasons why Leo didn't realize he had been unconscious for two days. After all, if he had truly been unconscious for two days, someone would surely have seen him. He completely attributed the hunger he felt when he woke up to the side effect of the maximum health card.Latest Chapter
Chapter 148
Cold air hit his face.Leo stopped.It was the tail end of summer. It shouldn't have been this cold at this hour. The sun was sitting right there in the sky, not a single cloud anywhere, the sky completely clear and open. But the air was cold, an unexplainable cold, the kind that didn't match the season and had no obvious cause.After walking a short distance he turned his head.Nadia was looking forward.Carefully, fixed, not moving. Her gaze was locked onto the library building. The building sat at the center of campus, four stories, stone and glass, wide steps leading up to the entrance, tall thin trees lined up on either side. The windows were large, the inside was normally visible from out here, but now the inside was dark, the glass surfaces showing nothing but the reflection of the sky.Leo looked at Nadia.Had she drifted off again?But no. Nadia's posture was different from before. When she had been standing at the window earlier her body weight had shifted, her shoulders had

Leo turned around."Whatever, forget it.""No."Leo stopped. Nadia's voice was quiet but clear, and Leo knew well enough by now what that particular tone meant."I'm not forgetting it." Nadia stepped forward. "What just happened... I don't know exactly how to describe it but I know what it felt like."She paused, searching for the right words. "It was like a kind of seduction spell. Like my will was taken from me. I thought I wanted it myself but the wanting wasn't coming from me."Her voice dropped slightly. "Maybe it's another sorcerer. A field spell, or something that affects the soul.""This isn't a magical world, Nadia. Maybe you haven't realized that yet."She clearly had realized it already.After a brief pause she continued."Your world might not be magical but trust me." Nadia raised an eyebrow, not defensively, just correcting. "Mine was. And I recognize this feeling. I know what it feels like to be affected by a spell because I've experienced it before."Leo said nothing. H

Leo was about to thank him and close the door.He stopped.The delivery guy had taken a few steps but his pace had slowed. He had drifted off again just like before, walking like a zombie with no particular destination in mind.He had nearly come to a complete stop in the middle of the corridor, head slightly drooping forward.Leo thought to himself.An ordinary world. That was how he had seen it in the webcomic he had read, at least. People here could zone out, could be tired, could have their minds somewhere else entirely. That didn't require any special explanation.He turned back inside with the food bag in hand.Nadia was standing in front of the window.Right in front of it, completely still, her hands hanging loose at her sides. Her head was turned toward the glass and her gaze was locked on a single point. Leo calculated the angle of the window to work out what that point was.The library.Something tightened inside Leo.He didn't lower the food bag, just kept holding it, and t

Leo closed his eyes.The delivery guy was still in the corridor. The footsteps were steady, slightly heavy, the rhythm of someone carrying something. Just by listening, Leo could map out exactly where in the corridor the guy was. He had started from the far end, was now approaching the middle, and would be at the door in a few seconds.Leo noticed this and stopped.Just by listening.He could hear Nadia's heartbeat through the wall on the other side. He could track the delivery guy's exact position in the corridor. He could potentially distinguish sounds coming from other floors of the building.But strangely, there were no other sounds in the building at all. Apart from the hum of a few machines like refrigerators, that is.Leo furrowed his brow.Normally the campus was noisy at this hour. Students moved through corridors, the elevator ran, music seeped in from somewhere distant, someone's laughter could be heard. But now there was only Nadia's heartbeat, the delivery guy's footsteps
Chapter 144: ARC foundation IV
When the screen came into focus, everyone froze.Over the campus of Seoul National University, in the hyperspectral camera feed, there was an enormous light. Square-shaped, with clean edges, it occupied roughly one city block between the buildings. Everything around it was dark. It was dense enough to nearly fill the screen.Nobody spoke.Everyone thought the same thing.Anomaly 0004...The anomaly cells were producing a massive response to 34 kHz. There was no other explanation for a flare this intense. Leo was there, and the sound frequency had done this to him.Layla looked at the screen and an image formed in her mind without her permission.A figure in the middle of a crowd, face contorted against this invisible sound coming from every direction, mouth open, a scream coming from somewhere inside but nobody able to hear it.Layla blinked and pushed the image out.Rafael had furrowed his brow."One second."He moved to the keyboard, fingers moving quickly. The camera zoomed in, the
Chapter 143: ARC Foundation III
The countdown was still running.Everyone around Layla was watching the large screen. Eyes waiting to see what the radars would show, fingers trembling over hands. Some of the researchers were standing, some were seated, but every single gaze was locked in the same direction.Everyone was asking themselves the same question. How many more anomalies were out there in the world beyond what they had already found.Perhaps the world was very different from what any of them had imagined.Nobody was looking at Layla.Layla stood in front of the central glass enclosure, watching the iron fragment inside it. Distracted, but not empty. Quite the opposite, her eyes were very active, very curious, just pointed somewhere else.When the 34 kHz had been projected, that fragment had moved.It was a small thing, a matter of a few millimeters, more like a vibration than anything else. And it had made a sound, close to a creak, like metal against metal. Some of the researchers in the laboratory had hea
