Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: A Feeling of Excitement

Late at night, accompanied by the rumble of the engine.

Hunter rode the old motorcycle and slowly parked it in the apartment's parking area where his predecessor had rented.

Because his original Driving Skill, which was level 2, had now increased to level 3.

Although Hunter found that when his Driving Skill increased from level 2 to level 3,

he still only gained one free attribute point, and his private space only increased by 1 cubic meter.

However, Hunter was still very satisfied with this.

The newly added 1 free attribute point was added to his strength.

Perhaps it was because Hunter's basic attributes were relatively low at the moment.

So, every free attribute point added brought an immediate and noticeable improvement.

See!

With another free attribute point added to strength,

Hunter felt that his current strength should not be much worse than Vince's.

After all, that guy had been following Dominic for several years, often acting as a biker gang member, plundering trucks all over California.

If Vince didn't have some influence, he wouldn't have become Dominic's right-hand man, his absolute confidant and enforcer.

After the Driving Skill reached level 3, upgrading to level 4 became much more difficult than before.

It required a full 2000 experience points, which was roughly equivalent to Driving a motorcycle on the road for two thousand kilometers.

It might not seem difficult, but for Hunter right now, it was not an easy task.

For no other reason, Hunter was out of money.

He didn't know how his predecessor had managed, but when he transmigrated, Hunter searched his predecessor's home thoroughly and only found over twenty us dollars.

In the past five days, in order to quickly increase the experience of several skills,

especially the Driving Skill, Hunter needed to ride his motorcycle around.

For this, he had to fill the tank with gasoline.

He also spent some time repairing several dangerous issues on the motorcycle.

After all that work, Hunter still had to use a credit card he found at his predecessor's place, swiping over two thousand us dollars to cover the expenses.

However, credit cards are fun to use.

But when it's time to pay the debt, it becomes a huge headache.

In his previous life, Hunter also experienced overspending with a certain app when he first graduated from college, almost unable to pay it back.

Using a credit card now was just a last resort for him.

Making money naturally became Hunter's top priority.

He quickly returned to his residence, turned on the lights, and walked towards the small bathroom.

Throughout the day, besides swimming and running,

Hunter had been Driving his motorcycle everywhere, and now he was covered in sweat.

He felt sticky and uncomfortable without a shower.

He took a quick shower in the narrow bedroom.

Then, changing into clean clothes, Hunter walked towards the small partitioned kitchen, wiping his hair.

"Even showering every day, my body still feels a bit itchy."

"I really don't know how foreigners have managed for thousands of years without bathhouses and scrubbers..."

After taking a shower, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.

Hunter wondered if he should visit Chinatown in Los Angeles tomorrow.

In his previous life, he was a northern Chinese man, and his love for bathhouses was ingrained in his bones.

Not having a master scrub his body properly for three or five days made him feel truly uncomfortable all over.

"Grumble!"

His physical activity had been quite high these past few days, and Hunter's stomach got hungry unusually fast.

His hair wasn't long, and the temperature was high.

Soon, Hunter threw down the towel.

He walked to the refrigerator and took out a one-pound chicken breast.

He also picked out a cucumber, some peanuts, and dried red chilies.

Hunter planned to make kung pao chicken for dinner.

He was familiar with this dish; it was one of his specialty home-cooked meals in his previous life.

These past few days, using the excuse of a slight concussion,

Hunter had taken leave from the repair shop and hadn't gone to work, focusing on leveling up his skills.

In the past few days, he had also taken the opportunity to buy some ingredients and seasonings that were more to the taste of Chinese people.

After steaming a pot of rice, Hunter started stir-frying.

As soon as the dish was on the stove, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

Hunter was startled; this scene gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

He instinctively thought of the day Mia visited five days ago.

So he quickly turned off the heat and placed the pot on an empty burner.

"Coming!"

Hunter quickly walked to the door, opened it a crack, and peered outside.

The next moment, he saw a familiar figure standing outside his apartment.

"Hi, Hunter!"

It was Mia again!

Hunter smiled and quickly opened the door.

Just as he was about to speak, he remembered that after his shower, he had only put on a new pair of boxer briefs.

His upper body was still bare.

In the past five days, Hunter had gained 7 free attribute points.

Of these, 2 were added to intelligence, and the remaining 5 were evenly distributed among the four major attributes related to physical fitness.

Therefore, although his physique didn't show obvious changes compared to five days ago,

if one looked closely, they would find clear muscle definition on his arms, thighs,

as well as his chest and lower abdomen.

As a result, when Mia saw him open the door, she was about to greet him and ask why he hadn't been to the repair shop for the past few days.

But the moment her gaze fell on Hunter,

her eyes, for some reason, couldn't move away.

People of East Asian descent generally have more delicate skin than Caucasians.

Hunter now possessed both the delicate skin and complexion of East Asians, and his physique and muscles had already caught up with most of his Caucasian peers.

Although Mia had grown up surrounded by men, due to Vince's harassment in recent years,

she hadn't had many peers of the opposite sex around her since entering puberty.

Thus, upon seeing Hunter, who was almost her age,

with his captivating physique, Mia instantly felt as if her gaze was drawn to him.

She already felt a bit guilty for Hunter being targeted by Vince because of her.

Plus, he was arguably the peer of the opposite sex she had spent the most time with.

Seeing his bare upper body now, Mia quickly felt her cheeks flush.

There was an unprecedented flutter in her chest, making this mixed-race beauty suddenly feel a little flustered.

"Oh no, it's the feeling of excitement!"
