204. Ginger 2
When Ginger finally emerged from the bathroom, fresh out of the shower, she stopped dead in her tracks. She stared blankly at the studio, which had been transformed from a literal biohazard dumpster into a dazzling, sparkling sanctuary."Oh my God," she gasped, her tired eyes widening. "You... you cleaned up? You really didn't have to do that! I was totally going to take care of it."Yeah, right. Two weeks from now, maybe."Oh, it was my absolute pleasure," I replied, forcing a polite, charming smile."It's just... I've been so incredibly overwhelmed lately," she mumbled, running a hand through her damp hair. "I haven't actually been home in three days. I’ve just been sleeping here at the office." She let out a soft, hollow chuckle that sounded genuinely depressing. "Not like there's anyone waiting for me at home anyway.""Oh...""Ah! Ignore me. Forget I even said that!" she chirped frantically, waving her hands. "I'm just blabbering now. I don't mean to be annoying. Wait, am I being

"Yes...yes, sir. I believe he is officially ready for his public debut. Oh? Right away, sir. Understood. Goodbye." Xavier lowered his phone, the ecstatic grin he had never leaving his face as he locked his eyes back onto me."Well, Mr. Reynolds... the time has come. We will be shooting a series of promotional test-shots and video clips of you immediately."Hearing that, I couldn't help but let a genuine smile break through my icy persona. A wave of pride washed over me. The best part? I hadn't used a single System skill during my training sessions. This was pure self-improvement. "So, I’ve actually made it, huh? I’m officially a model?"Xavier nodded dramatically, sweeping his arm through the air. "Yes, my boy. My specialized team will handle your wardrobe, your styling, everything. You simply follow their direction, and before the month is out, your face will be plastered on magazine covers across the entire nation. You will be trending everywhere as the Alpha Superstar I always knew

(Mark’s POV)[Ding! A Highly Productive Day, Host!][You successfully manufactured 150 liters of 'Holy Healing Water' and alleviated the suffering of 563 patients.][Reward: +300 EXP | +11 CP][Passive Title Bonus: 'Little Hero' has granted an additional +106 EXP | +5 CP!][Ding! Level Up!][LV 50 → LV 53][Total Currency Points: 23 CP]I stared at the floating holographic system panel, a smug, entirely self-satisfied grin spreading across my face. Talk about a massive return on investment. All I did was dump a single high-grade healing potion into a tank of purified water, pass it off to a crowd of desperate people, and boom—I walked away with three level-ups and a healthy stack of Currency Points. At this rate, I’d hit level 75 in no time. I couldn't help but feel a spark of intense curiosity about what kind of absurd milestone rewards the System was gating behind that tier.With my system currency balance better and my conscience clear, I said goodbye to my team and headed home t

It didn't take long for the police presence outside the hotel to disperse. Mark had walked right up to the perimeter and assured the commanding officers that he was completely fine—he had simply checked into a room to catch up on some desperately needed sleep after pulling an all-nighter."Thanks for worrying about me, though," Mark said, offering a casual smile to the remaining government officials as the cruisers drove off.Helena crossed her arms, tilting her chin up. "Hmph. Who said anyone was worrying about you?"Smith couldn't help but chuckle, leaning against the car door. "Man, it is absolutely hilarious when an old woman acts like a teenage tsundere."*WHACK!*A sharp slap cracked across Smith's cheek before the last syllable could even leave his mouth."Ouch! What the hell was that for?!" Smith complained, rubbing his stinging, reddened cheek."For talking absolute nonsense!" Helena snapped, her eyes glaring daggers."But I was just telling the tr—""Keep flapping your gums,
201. Room 209
[Earlier] At The Divine Pharmacy... Outside, long queues of sick citizens still snaked down the block. Inside, the government officials, Mr. Smith and Helena, were locked in a tense argument over their next move. With the new contract between Mark and the government officially signed and sealed in his briefcase, Smith was eager to vanish. He wanted nothing more than to report back to his superiors and wash his hands of this chaotic block. But Helena couldn't just walk away. Her chest tight with maternal worry, she couldn't pretend everything was normal after seeing a bullet graze Mark's ear. "Let’s just get the hell out of here before the next bullet has our names on it!" Smith urged, glancing nervously at the shattered glass. "The shooter is completely unknown, which means—" "No!" Helena cut him off, shaking her head defiantly. "I am not leaving until I know Mark is safe." "The kid is fine, don't lose your mind over him," Smith said, offering a patronizing pat to her shoulder
