Ultimate Trillionaire Simp

Meanwhile.

When Zavian saw Vania's shame and sadness, he merely stared at her with a cold and indifferent gaze, without a shred of pity.

He simply turned around and smiled gently at Zahra.

"Sorry for making you wait. Don't pay any attention to what happened earlier."

As he spoke, Zavian also immediately changed his expression to something softer and friendlier.

"Here, take it."

Zahra fell silent and didn't immediately take his offering. Instead, she stared at him with surprised, tearful eyes. She had never expected that someone who had just been humiliated in front of so many people could actually treat her with such sincerity.

But as Zahra looked into Zavian's eyes and saw his sincere expression, a faint smile suddenly appeared behind her mask.

"Thank you..."

Zahra accepted the iPhone with both hands, then turned and entered the university gate.

"Zavian!"

Meanwhile, Vania, who had witnessed it all, suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice.

"You!!"

"This is all because of you!"

"Just you wait!"

"You'll definitely regret this!"

"Regret?"

Zavian sneered at her, not caring at all or even bothering to think about it.

Because with the system he now possessed, was it even possible that he would regret stopping his pursuit of Vania?

"Ding!"

[Because the Host used his personal funds to flatter the target, the 10% return system does not apply.]

Zavian froze.

No profit return?

His six months of hard work to buy that iPhone had apparently not earned him a single cent of profit.

"Damn!"

"Didn't you say that every transaction would receive a 10% return? Why didn't I get anything?"

[Indeed, when flattering the Goddesses, the Host will receive a 10% return, but because you used personal funds, it doesn't count as true flattery!]

[INSTEAD, A FOOLISH FLATTERER!]

"If that's the case, what's the point of me giving gifts using my personal money?"

For a moment, Zavian immediately regretted his decision.

Unfortunately, there was no reply from the system, only another notification.

"Ding"

[Congratulations!]

[The Host successfully made the target increase her favorability score!]

[Zahra's favorability score toward the Host: 30]

Zavian frowned and clicked his tongue with a sad expression.

"Even if I managed to raise her favorability score to 30 points, so what? I still lost $1,400!"

Zavian felt genuinely sad thinking about it, because to him now, the money he had given Zahra was far more important than the favorability score.

Thinking about how hard he had worked to save that money all this time, Zavian became increasingly frustrated upon suddenly discovering that it had vanished just like that.

"Wait a minute."

Zavian suddenly had an idea.

"Since this was the first time I used my personal money to give a gift to the target, and the system never told me, shouldn't there be some kind of beginner's reward?"

The system didn't answer and remained silent.

Zavian didn't give up and continued in a tone full of complaints.

"Think about it carefully! I already gave a gift worth $1,400 to my first target. Doesn't that show my dedication to carrying out the system's tasks? At the very least, give me some compensation!"

A few moments later, the system's voice was heard again.

"Ding!"

[The system detects that this is the Host's first transaction using personal funds to flatter a target.]

[After evaluation, the system grants a special exception for the first transaction.]

[Given that the transaction met the requirements, the Host will receive a 100% return on the value of the gift given.]

[Refund amount: $1,400.]

[Funds have been returned to the Host's personal account.]

"Umh"

Zavian hurriedly checked his phone to confirm whether the system had really returned his money.

Sure enough!

His account balance had increased by $1,400.

"Hahaha!"

"System, you really are reasonable!"

Zavian laughed with satisfaction.

His mood, which had originally been gloomy, immediately turned bright. But before he could get too carried away with joy, the system provided another explanation.

[Please note: The 100% return exception applies only once, namely for the Host's first transaction using personal funds.]

[For subsequent transactions, spending using personal funds will not receive any refund or 10% cashback.]

[The 10% return applies only to transactions using system funds that meet all requirements.]

Zavian's smile froze slightly.

"So, after this, if I use my personal money to give gifts, I won't get anything except the possibility of an increased favorability score?"

[Correct.]

Zavian let out a long sigh.

"Fine, let's just say I was unlucky this time."

At least his money had been returned in full and Zahra's favorability score had increased to 30.

"Zahra Aurelia... What an interesting woman!"

Zavian also began to feel curious about the girl who was considered ordinary by others yet had received an appearance score of 90 from the system.

"Could it be that she's disguising herself?"

But Zavian had no intention of rushing to find out her secret. For now, Zahra was still a mysterious target he had just met.

Rather than that, Zavian preferred to shift his attention to the women at the prestigious university in Malang.

If his memory served him right, this period was when many female students from his generation were beginning to become known for their beauty. With the system as his support, he was confident his life would be far more interesting if he succeeded in conquering those Goddesses.

"Flatter! Flatter! I will flatter every beautiful woman I meet!"

With renewed spirit, Zavian began exploring the campus.

Unfortunately, despite meeting many beautiful women, none of them met the system's criteria except Zahra and Vania at the beginning.

He also began receiving strange looks from people who passed by him.

"Has the news from this morning already spread?"

Zavian felt uncomfortable. Because in addition to disgusted and amused looks, he even found that female students would immediately move aside when they passed him. As if he were a contagious virus.

With no other choice, Zavian could only give up searching for new targets and hurried to his last class.

"Oh my God!"

Just as he was about to enter the classroom, Zavian was immediately startled when he heard the system notification in his head.

"Ding!"

[Compatible female target detected.]

[Name: Valeria Maheswari]

[Age: 35 years old]

[Height: 175 cm]

[Weight: 60 kg]

[Appearance: 91]

[Favorability score: -10]

Zavian's eyes and mouth went wide.

What truly shocked him wasn't just the woman's appearance score. It was because the system's target this time wasn't a female student, but a social psychology lecturer!

Valeria Maheswari, who stood 175 cm tall with a body featuring an hourglass silhouette. At the age of 35, she radiated the elegance of a mature woman that was hard to ignore.

She was one of the most attention-grabbing lecturers at Brawijaya University in Malang. Many students admired her, and not a few deliberately took the afternoon classes she taught.

But their interest was usually limited to admiring from afar.

Because this Valeria was known for having high academic standards and a habit of dismantling the weaknesses of students' arguments through sharp questions. Anyone who came to class unprepared risked going home with embarrassment.

That was why the students gave her the nickname "The Killer Lecturer."

Not because she was cruel without reason, but because no one wanted to become the target of her sharp questions. Even students who secretly admired her chose to keep their distance.

To flirt with her? Most didn't even dare to imagine it.

But now the system was designating a woman like that as a target?

"Zavian Arkana!"

A cold voice full of emphasis immediately snapped him out of it.

And when Zavian saw who was calling him, he unconsciously began to swallow.

Valeria stared at him with a sharp gaze. Her authoritative demeanor made anyone feel as if they were being evaluated, even without her needing to raise her voice.

"What are you doing standing there? Did you come just to look at me or... to attend my class?"

"Of course to see your beauty— Umh...!"

Zavian, who had blurted it out, hurriedly covered his mouth. But it was too late, because he had already witnessed the cold smile on the mature woman's face.

"Get out!"
