Chapter 38 [Bonus ]System's True Purpose!
After coming back home, the siblings went their separate ways as they entered their own respective rooms to rest their exhausted minds.
Nathan lay there, staring at the ceiling, thinking about a lot of stuff.
"Those people are really fearless, they even dared to carry guns in broad daylight!" Nathan angrily said,
He subconsciously touched his shoulder that was shot by the gun.
Even now that it was healed, Nathan felt like he can still remember the pain from the bullet wound.
He doesn't have a superhuman body or mind. Even if he is now a human who awakened his soul talent, his body is still just a normal human's body.
If today he was shot on the head or on the heart instead of his shoulders, then he would be dead by now without doubt!
Just thinking of it made Nathan shiver as cold sweat appeared on his back.
Shaking all the bad thoughts away, Nathan did not let himself fall into trepidation. He calmed himself,
"I should not be thinking about that anymore, I should just focus on how I can make myself stronger!"
Saying that, Nathan turned to the only one who can guide him currently.
The system!
Calling the system from inside his head, Nathan directly asked,
"System, is there any way for me to become stronger?"
Nathan waited for an answer but the response he was waiting for did not come.
Wondering what's happening, Nathan unsurely called the system again.
"System?"
[Yes, host?]
Hearing the system reply, Nathan took a breath of relief. Confirming that the system is in there, he asked with a frown,
"Why were you not answering my question?"
This time, the reply came immediately,
[The system doesn't answer any question that is unrelated to its true purpose or anything that doesn't have any relation to things given or spoken by the system.]
"Huh?"
Nathan stood there stupidly, trying to comprehend the things that the system said.
After a while, he confusedly asked,
"Then, what is the purpose of the system?"
[The purpose of the system has been told the moment it is activated. To make the host the richest being.]
Hearing that, Nathan thought about it and vaguely remembered that the system seems to have said something similar to that before.
Nathan nodded his head in realization.
But another question appeared because of what the system just said.
"Then if the true purpose of the system is to make me rich, then why are there those kinds of things like Body Enhancing Pill, Beauty Pill, Awakener, and even a shop?"
What Nathan was pointing at was the incredibly powerful and miraculous things at the shop that are just really out of this world for him.
From what the system said, it's purpose is to make him rich, not to become a spendthrift!
[Being rich doesn't only mean having a lot of money. Having elegance, attitude, temperament, etc. are necessary to be 'rich']
[The true purpose of the shop is to help the host develop the temperament of the rich that only comes from the 'real' rich people. Having a wide variety of things to choose from starting from a pebble that no one will pick to the treasures that even the most advanced civilization in the universe will start war to get their hands on.]
[By letting the host realize that 'everything' is just within his reach, the temperament will be created in a much faster way.]
The system continuously poured information after information to Nathan to the point that he doesn't even know if he himself is still listening to it properly.
Once the system was done, he became silent again and Nathan was able to relax his head.
After digesting everything inside his head, Nathan concludes that he can't ask the system for a way to become stronger but he can think of a way 'through' the system
Staring in space, Nathan started thinking about some things that happened to him in the past weeks.
Because of what happened earlier, Nathan involuntarily remembered what took place the night he got the Body Enhancing Pill.
He doesn't remember what came to his head for him to meddle with those gangsters back then. He doesn't even remember the name of the girl he saved that night.
Thinking of that, Nathan thought of how he handled those gangsters that day and frowned,
"Hmm… That night, I felt like I was very powerful. As if I can fight the whole world barehanded alone."
"I know that it was just an illusion, but why does it feel like that strength is not the same as the power as I have right now?"
As if hearing the questions running inside his head, the system suddenly appeared to give the answer he has been looking for!
[Since this is a question related to the pill given by the system, an explanation will be given to the host.]
[Body Enhancing Pill has an effect to clear up the waste inside the body of a person and to permanently double the total strength of the user.]
[Besides the main effect, this Pill also gives the user a strength buff for 1 hour.]
Hearing the explanation of the system, Nathan was suddenly enlightened from the doubts he was having!
"So that was it!"
Only now did Nathan realize this.
At that time, after coming home, he immediately fell asleep because of the exhaustion caused by the clearing of his body from waste.
He did not specifically measure how much his strength at that time and did not really have a clear understanding of how strong he was then.
Because of that, Nathan did not realize the sudden change in his strength after he woke up.
Especially since he really did become stronger than before taking the pill, Nathan thought that it was still the same the night before.
In the end, only now did he learn of this because of his ignorance.
Pak!
Slapping his forehead, Nathan realized how inattentive he was with things happening to himself.
"Ah, damn. This must be because I have lots of things going on these days."
