Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: A Morning Interlude

"Hi, Mia."

Hunter smiled and greeted the mixed-race beauty. "It's been a while. You're as charming as ever."

If a woman takes the initiative to appear before you—

more than once, and has shown considerable interest—

then don't overthink it!

Either she wants to kill you, or she wants to do you.

Hunter didn't think he and Mia had any deep-seated grudge that would make her want to kill him.

So, the result was self-evident!

Watching Mia's expression shift from surprise to shock and then to shyness,

Hunter subconsciously followed her gaze and looked down at his own body.

Only then did he realize that he was a naked sleeper.

Because no one ever visited him in the morning,

coupled with the fact that Los Angeles was currently experiencing its most pleasant weather of the year,

where it might get a bit hot around noon but was very comfortable in the mornings and evenings,

Hunter hadn't processed it. Startled awake by the knocking, he had walked over purely on instinct.

"Uh!"

"Sorry, give me a second!"

In that brief glance down, Hunter hadn't just noticed his increasingly defined muscles.

He also noticed his little brother, who was standing tall and proud in the morning.

It couldn't be helped!

American customs were simple; the streets of Los Angeles were full of poor girls in tattered clothes who needed assistance.

If it weren't for his tight budget—since Hunter spent all his money on grinding skill experience—

he probably wouldn't have been able to resist his charitable impulses to help them out.

While he lacked the money to help poor girls, his predecessor's home contained quite a collection of adult-only magazines and weeklies.

After returning last night, Hunter had read for a bit before resting.

Inevitably, he had some messy dreams during the night.

That was why his dear little brother was standing at attention upon waking.

Quickly closing the door, Hunter rushed to find some clothes to put on.

He didn't rush to reopen the door, taking the opportunity to release the night's accumulated fluids and then quickly washing up.

The entire process took only a few minutes.

Once finished, Hunter took three steps in two and quickly opened the door.

When the door opened, Mia was still standing outside.

The moment their eyes met, a blush quickly rose on the mixed-race beauty's face again.

Her eyes even subconsciously flickered toward the location of Hunter's little brother again.

Clearly, the scene from earlier was a bit too stimulating for a girl in her late adolescence with surging hormones.

Hunter was naturally a bit proud of this.

In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly a month since he transmigrated into the fast & furious world.

Over the past twenty-odd days, Hunter had done nothing but work and grind skills.

Relying on his golden finger, the Proficiency System, he had already triggered over a dozen skills.

He had even raised most of them by one to three levels.

Thanks to this, the free attribute points Hunter had gained during this period already far exceeded those of an average person.

Just look at his current attribute list!

...Hunter had awakened many skills during this time.

Among them, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages were all awakened while he was modifying those three cars.

The Reading and Drawing skills had also leveled up because of it.

During the modification process, in order to complete the work better,

he had to look up and research information, and simultaneously inspect and draw diagrams of various parts and even the entire vehicle structure to reduce the workload.

He hadn't expected to unexpectedly awaken several new skills.

As for Disguise, it happened one morning when Hunter noticed he had dark circles from staying up late and specifically applied some light makeup.

Unexpectedly, he had actually awakened this skill.

The other skills had also leveled up successively over the past period.

Hunter had distributed the total of 16 free attribute points evenly across his five major attributes.

Now, his physical fitness in all areas had greatly exceeded the adult average of 10 points.

Hunter also discovered that as his attributes increased,

his body showed obvious feedback in various aspects.

Most notably, his brain was becoming smarter, and his logical thinking and memory far surpassed what they once were.

His originally scrawny body now had bulging muscles.

Even his already impressive little brother had expanded a bit more.

So much so that Hunter now had to delay a bit every morning to calm its anger!

Therefore, he wasn't surprised by Mia's blushing.
