"Come back in three days. I'll have guidance from the spirits." Minho dismissed her as soon as the quest objective was completed.
[You have initiated Active Quest with Yuna Park]
The prompt flashed his vision.
He noticed she hesitated for a bit, not wanting him to let go of her palm, before she regained her senses and took out the stacks of cash from her bag, dropping them before Minho who tried as much as possible not to drool over the sight of the hard currency.
"Thanks for service, wise one. I'll be returning in three days time," Yuna said as she stood up to take her leave, before an idea crossed her mind.
She shook her hand into her bag once more on the under the watch of Minho who find it hard to stop his lips from twitching in excitement, thinking she Yuna wanted to tip him more, but had his expectations shot down when she pulled out a business card instead and leaned forward holding it out to Minho with her both hands respectfully.
"This is my business card. Please do contact me if anything comes up before our next meeting." She said with her soft voice which Minho found very pleasant to the ear as she handed the card over him, which he unceremoniously accepts from her without a word.
"Thanks once again. I'll take my leave now." She said and slowly back-shuffled with her hands delicately placed over her abdomen and her head hung low, till she got to the entrance of the room, before she turned around and walked away.
It only took Minho the second after the door closed behind her to grab the stacks of cash and was just about the rip its binding away to count them, when a prompt flashed his vision with the numerical value of the stacks of cash:
[₩500,000]
"Woah… 500k?" Minho mused in surprise and disbelief. This was more than he made in months of working part-time around the clock. All in one sitting.
Minho didn't need a career path council now to tell him to pick up the Shaman occupation.
With his grandmother's contacts and the Divinity System, which seemed to be made for each other, the possibilities were boundless and Minho would never return to what if felt like being broke again—as he wasn't his grandmother and wasn't planning on giving everything away to charity. He was charity.
Minho tried to summon the system interface, when he realized he didn't know how to and till now it had popped up just at the right time—except now.
"That wasn't so bad now, was it?" the melodious voice of the Gumiho reached his ears from somewhere in the room and Minho turned around on his butt to face her, standing at the corner. "Status."
"What?" Minho blurted subconsciously, as he didn't quite get the meaning of what she said.
"Status. The action word to summon your system interface." She repeated with more clarity.
"Oh. Status!" Minho called out louder than he'd meant to, but it worked. The translucent blue interface materialized, floating on his vision.

Minho noticed a few things had changed from the status interface screen from last time. Firstly, the essence gauge. It has increased by the essence points he gained from both seducing Yuna and completing the quest towards the nine-thousand plus milestone.
He could remember the Gumiho mentioning she needed the essence to complete her transformation. Minho didn't know what transformation she was talking about, and neither did he plan to ask, because he already had it in mind to find a book about Gumihos and fox spirits—preferably his grandmother's, which should be laying around the property somewhere if he took the time to search—descreetly. He speculated the nine-thousand plus milestone was probably the total essence she needed for that—which was a ticking bomb for him, cause not only would she have no use for him anymore, he'd lose not just the system but his lucrative career plan.
Secondly, were the essence points gained from seducing Yuna and completing the quest objective that found themselves at the essence points (EP) tab just below the rest of his stats. This made him wonder if he could somehow use them to increase his pathetic stat—preferably the Spirit and Charm stat. The most vital for his career path.
Coming down to the skill set, Minho had already familiarized and used up the entire skill set just to hold Yuna's hands—including
It was a real contender in game when coupled with
It might not have the same effects with every woman, as according Yuna's surface memories, her husband has been cold and emotional unavailable for her running his mayoral campaigns to the extent that she had to visit a Shaman's residence for help.
Did he feel bad for her husband? No. Because according to Yuna's memories of her interactions with her husband, he obviously had a mistress—coming back late at night sometimes drunk, late night calls where he left the bedroom to take and spent the rest of the night in the guest room, not eating cooked at home by his beautiful wife who went out of the way to prepare them out of the love of her heart when there were cooks for that.
And unlucky for Junho Park—Minho believed in sexual tension. He would feed his wife—Yuna—with just enough enticement to keep her hooked and longing for more attention after not knowing what that felt like for a while now. Inevitably, she would find every little opportunity to visit him in the name of spiritual guidance—just so she could feel relevant, and seen again. Till she couldn't hold in that bottled emotion any longer and just let it consume her.
Virgin pro talk. Y'know what they say about relationship advice; it's always that one dude that's never been in a relationship that gave the best of advice like a retired coach. In Minho's case, it's always that dude that's never hit—him—that gave the best sex education. Hehe.
