[Please draw one reward.]
[1. Your strength in the simulated world]
[2. White Talent: Genius]
[3. Knowledge of the Ultra Fantasy World]
He took a slow breath and whispered with resolve.
"System, I choose 2."
[Congratulations on choosing the White Talent: Genius.]
Adam glanced at the line of words. At the same time, he could feel a slight change in his consciousness.
It was as though his ability to comprehend things was being drastically enhanced.
"This…" Adam gasped in disbelief upon sensing the feeling.
"This is basically cheating! This can be considered a second ability. If that's the case, then what if I draw a higher talent? According to what I can guess, the green and red talents should be of higher grades, hence their rarity. If I draw them…"
Adam's thoughts trailed off as he drew in a sharp breath.
His smile widened as he raised his head. However, a frown soon settled on his face.
"Now I have to wait for one week before simulating again. Perhaps I can try the paid simulation…"
Having such thoughts, Adam was stumped on how to go about it.
Thankfully, the system seemed to understand his thoughts.
[To conduct a paid simulation, one low-grade mana stone is required.]
Adam drew in a sharp breath. With the descent of mana into the surroundings, there were places where the saturation of mana was great, and the mana had condensed, causing the stones there to undergo evolution.
Depending on the density of mana within such stones, the grade differed, and the mana stones ranged from low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, supreme-grade, transcendent, and so on.
"There's no need to think of the higher-grade ones, just one low-grade mana stone costs 10,000 dollars!" Adam was filled with disbelief. In his account, he had only roughly a thousand dollars. Where could he get $10,000 from?
After a while of contemplation, Adam shrugged off the thought.
"With my status as an Awakened, it's only a matter of time before I gain the corresponding wealth…"
With that thought, he smiled, pulled out his phone, and decided to inform his parents about the good news.
Ring Ring… Ring Ring… Ring Ring…
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. A light, cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This is your mother speaking, state what complaints you have. Do you need money? A job? A new… girlfriend?"
The voice on the other end sounded youthful.
Adam couldn't help but laugh hearing his sister's cheerful voice.
"Sister, give mother the phone. Besides, don't let Aurora hear you; she might not take it lightly…"
"Eh? I thought sister-in-law said she was okay with you having a harem?" his sister sounded surprised.
Over the years, the predecessor had already introduced Aurora to his family as the lady he would marry in the future. Although his parents knew that their path in the future might differ, they still allowed the relationship as long as it made their son happy.
Aurora had also gotten close to his parents and sister, occasionally visiting them and bringing them gifts.
"Who's that?" At that moment, a mature voice came faintly from the phone.
"It's brother…" the light voice of his sister echoed once more. There was a brief silence before his mother's voice came through the phone.
"Son, it's been a while. How has school been?" Her voice was filled with concern, however, Adam could still feel a faint hint of tiredness in her voice.
He sighed lightly. Due to the situation of this world and with neither of his family members being an Awakened, the stress over the years was gradually taking a toll on them.
Adam sighed once more, then, recalling the news he wanted to share, entered into a cheerful mood.
"Mother, school just ended."
Hearing his words, the phone fell silent. His mother seemed to be pondering a few things.
After a while, she sighed lightly and said, "I understand, son. You don't have to feel too disappointed. Life actually isn't a bed of roses, and with time, things will definitely get better for us. I will send you $5,000 to take care of yourself while you find a job over there…"
Her words trailed off. Adam just listened tentatively, chuckling to himself…
His mother's voice gradually decreased in tone as she heard the lighthearted laughter of her son echoing from the other end of the speaker.
Just as she was stupefied, she heard her son's words that caused her to fall into a daze.
"Mother, I awakened. You and father no longer have anything to worry about."
"Huh?" His mother was first stunned, as though she couldn't understand what he was saying.
It was only after a few seconds that she finally widened her eyes in shock.
"You—you awakened?? What?"
Already expecting her loud scream tearing through the air, Adam had brought the phone far away from his ear. Still, it sounded so loud that Adam feared the neighbors might overhear it.
"Mother, what's wrong? Did brother get into an accident?"
The vibrant voice of his sister, laced with curiosity, echoed from the phone.
Amanda took a moment to calm down before pointing at the phone with trembling hands, "You—your brother awakened! Your brother awakened!!!"
"I have to call your father, I have to share him the good news…"
Ding!
Before Adam could react, she hung up the call. He was stupefied, however, he could understand their excitement.
"At least they don't have to suffer anymore…" Adam was truly grateful to his parents for everything they did. Even when things were tough, they tried to support him and his sister as best as they could.
Like previously, when his mother mentioned sending him $5,000, one had to note that her job only paid her $7,000 monthly, while his father's was slightly higher, only reaching $10,000.
Just as Adam was feeling slightly melancholic, a slight knock echoed on his door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Adam turned towards the door. Standing up, he walked towards it and twisted the doorknob.
"Hi, boyfriend…" A lady with a sweet smile was standing outside.
She looked like a flawless beauty with golden hair and eyes that seemed no different from Alexandrite.
Her figure was light, and her thin waist couldn't be hidden as she wore a tight-fitting thigh-length miniskirt.
On her enormous chest was a blue crop-top shirt. Her hands were behind her back as she looked at Adam with wild curiosity.
Her eyes looked up at him with expectation.
Adam didn't disappoint her; after all, this wasn't the first time they had been intimate.
Immediately, he moved towards her, their tongues intertwined, like one who had been starved for a long time.
Aurora jumped lightly and crossed her leg around his waist, embracing him snugly in a tight hug as they kissed passionately.
Thankfully, his predecessor was muscular. With great strength, he picked her up as they kissed passionately, taking her to the bed.
In his ecstasy, Adam didn't completely forget that the door was wide open, the cool breeze cooling the tension between them.
Soon, gasps and moans filled the room as the sound of two people engaged in a passionate encounter resounded…
