'Show status screen.' Though still doubtful, shinobu decided to move forward rather than being stuck on just doubting and asking. The screen flickered infront of her, changing and showing her status.
[Name - Shinobu Kocho
Age - 17
Height - 151 cm
Weight - 37 kg
Abilities/Powers - Insect breathing mastery, Total concentration mastery, Stalking Mastery, Manipulative, Medicinal Mastery, Drug Mastery, Enhanced human, Prodigy intellect, Prodigy talent (It's being suppressed by your lack of physical development)]
'Even the Stalking?' Her gaze hardened on that lack of physical development. Her sore point, her short stature. The reason why she is envious of her fellow hashira's, the reason why she feels jealous of her fellow hashira's.
'No' This wasn't the time to think about her insecurities, she had better things at hand. Like exploring more of this 'System'. She scrolls, tapping on the quest/quest page option.
Nothing. It was just blank screen, like it was mocking her. 'Where are the quests and quest page? I see nothing.'
[Quests are given based on situation, currently there are no quests. I mean there are but they are hidden, will be only unlocked when you complete the quest. As to what is the objective of those hidden quests? They're called hidden for a reason. Find out on your own.]
That's real convenient. Like the type of convenient that earned a eye roll from her. Though she won't admit it but she was bit excited to see the quests, excitement born from curiosity. What could she do besides accepting it but then her gaze went on the next line.
[Quest regarding Kenji give 5 times more reward.]
She wasn't happy, not at all. Regarding Kenji which meant Kenji was special in a way and that was unacceptable. Special meant some destiny bullshit and that meant trouble. She wanted Kenji out of all this trouble, not just the system related but in normal life too.
"Hey, Explain why quests regarding Kenji give 5 times more reward." Her tone wasn't hesitant nor sarcastic, just the tone of a girl who loved a boy more than herself and was debating if his life was in danger. Her smile tightened.
[It's because he is special to you. The quests I will give aren't based on my own way rather they'll be in your favour. Always or if they aren't then that means they are for a greater Good in future to you. You can always reject a quest or accept, if you don't like the objective or don't want to do it.]
Shinobu blinks then blinks again, tilting her head to the side. That was wasn't what she was expecting, she didn't even knew what she was expecting but that definitely wasn't. Though she could work with that, having freedom on her moves was great. Scrolling further on, she reached the system shop.
This time she wasn't met with an blank screen rather boxes like structure appeared on the screen. On it were the images of the object, names of the object and Tap for more information on the below of each box.
It was pretty easy to understand but there was one advantage. Everything was cheap. Normally 1 egg would cost around 1-2 sen depending on where you are buying it but in this she could buy 10 eggs with just 1-2 sen. 100 sen make upto 1 yen and a principal in boys High school make up to 1400 yen annually for comparison.
This was going to be shinobu's new market for shopping. She could easily save a lot of money of the corps, further strengthening it as a lot of money of the corp goes to buy Medicinal products or rare medicine that are costly. But she'll need to do it in such a way that it won't be too suspicious. If she were to go to aoi and say she bought 10 eggs for just 1 sen, aoi might think shinobu is just teasing aoi about her bargaining skills.
So yeah, she couldn't do it as freely as it sounded. Though using an excuse that she have an unknown supplier would be more believable and less suspicious considering her reputation as a hashira. She could also test if this system was really true by buying something. So she did.
She could convert real money into system points.
What did she buy? Those same 3 types of drugs just even stronger and 1/10th of it's original price. Staring at the injection in her hand, she smiled. An cruel smile, devoid of any playfulness. 'So it is real'
[Told you.]
She scrolls down again, landing on the dungeon/Tower. The description was strange in a way
[Dungeon/Tower - It's an place where monsters will spawn, killing them gives system points + Increases your power + Gives you abilities based on the monster you kill + Items]
That was really vague. What kind of monsters? How strong will those monsters be? Will they get stronger as she defeats more monsters? What items? What kind of ability?
[Jeez, you sure have lot's of questions.
So first the monster will be of different races. They are all classified as monsters because i don't know.]
[The strength of those monsters depends on the level you are, in the starting you'll obviously fight weak monsters that'll give less rewards if compared to monsters on higher level.]
[Yes, as you progress through the dungeon/Tower, stronger monsters will appear. Each floor/room is dedicated to one species of monsters.]
[Items depends on the type of monster you defeat like defeating a slime gives you an slimy item that you'll be able to control at will. Getting items dropped is really rare.]
[Ability depends on the type of core monster drops, though not every monster drops core but rarer one's do. Breaking the core gives you the abilities. On higher level, like 98 or 99 almost every monster drops core.]
[You just got an example of system points. They can be earned through quests, dungeon/Tower or converting real money to system points.]
[But there's a thing - Everytime you take Kenji with you, the possibility of getting an core or an item increases by 500% so let's say there are 1,000 monsters, the probability of getting an core or an item is 5 so 500% of it is 25.]
'....i know that much calculation, you don't need to elaborate the simplest things.' But her focus was on that 500%, it would require her to take Kenji with her which might be the stupidest thing. First of all, how would she explain herself? That a screen appeared nowhere and considers him special? She would seem mad. Second of all, what kind of place is it? Would it be safe for Kenji at all? She would first go herself and then decide whether to take him there and reveal this system.
[You do but majority of people here don't.]
'Here?' She was confused by it's words, thinking it was referring to the people in butterfly mansion but why would it need to explain to the people in butterfly mansion..unless other people could see it too?
[No, only you as of now.]
As of now...so there would be people in future who'll be able to see it? More trouble and headache for her but it's life.
[How about entering the dungeon/Tower now?]
Right now...She had work to do regarding the finances for the new supply of the medicine, she could get an mission anytime soon and not to mention it was getting pretty late. She should get as much as sleep she can before she is interrupted by duties again.
She would go their in her free time which is quite possibly never. Whatever time she get's, she spends it with Kenji so being asked to make time for dungeon it didn't seem possible.
[I forgot to tell you this but the time in outside world flows differently, 1 day in dungeon is 10 days in outside world.]
....
...
..
.
"Fuck you."
[Fuck you.]
Her smile twitched, she was here running her mind and consuming energy to do time management and this bitch just said that? She could take a nap of 12 hours there and only 1.2 hours will pass here.
This just solved her lack of sleep and time management.
[Hmph.]
'Don't hmph at me, you should have told me that earlier.'
[You never asked.]
Fair enough. She quiets down before picking her haori, tying up her hair and fixing any wrinkles on her clothes. She didn't immediately enter the dungeon, she first went to her room.
There was Kenji, sleeping, curled up in her futon. Her exhaustion and any mental strain she had vanished, walking upto Kenji and leaning down. She pressed a kiss on his forehead, his palm and his cheeks. All done lovingly and softly. "My butterfly, I will be gone for few minutes or possibly an hour, take care of yourself."
She knew he was asleep and probably didn't hear what she just said but she said what she needed to say. Giving an final kiss on his cheek, she stood up and walks towards her lab.
'Let's go.'
