Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 543 System Task

Just as she was expecting that a kiss was going to land on her lips, she heard Jack speaking, "The other benefit that I'm going to help you with is to help you in advancing in whatever it is that you want to learn."

"Huh?" Celine opened her eyes in surprise. She was actually not expecting something like this from Jack. They had been interacting for a long time now, and, she believed that normally, Jack was going to kiss her. But, surprisingly, he did not.

She had already gotten used to him taking advantage of her, but, she really enjoyed a moment like that. So, she felt a little disappointed after realizing that Jack did not have the intention of kissing her.

"I said that the other benefit that I am going to give you is that I'm going to help you in advancing in whatever it is that you want to learn faster." Jack repeated himself, as he continuously closed in between the two of them. The gap between the two of them had already been reduced to mere inches.

At this point, Celine could feel Jack breath on her face. This made her blush even more. But still, she did not move considering that she did not even have anywhere that she could go considering that Jack was blocking her from both sides, with behind her the wall blocking her path of escape.

It did not take long for Celine to be able to think clearly. And after realizing what it was that Jack was trying to imply, she could not help but be a little surprised.

"Are you trying to tell me that my speed of learning things is going to increase once again? Currently, it is already 100 times faster than I could before. How many times is going to increase by this time?" Celine asked a little excitedly.

Jack was left speechless for a moment. Then, he reacted and said, "That's not what I was trying to imply. What I'm trying to say is that, if in case there's anything that you don't understand, there's no need for you to think too much about it. I can simply go ahead and help you with the doubts that you are having."

"Oh." Of course, Celine was a little disappointed at that. But, thinking clearly about it, although it was true that her learning speed had actually been increased by 100 times, that did not imply that she was actually capable of understanding everything clearly.

Without a teacher, she had to think everything clearly by herself. If there was anything that she did not understand, she had to do her own research in order to be able to understand whatever it was that she did have some doubts about.

But what Jack had said was actually something that was going to help her. If she did not understand anything, she did not need to waste time researching on that matter, but she could simply ask him to clear everything for her.

But, she could not help but look at Jack curiously, wondering how it was possible that he was able to understand everything. But, just thinking about all the things that he had been doing, all the skills that he possessed before they came into the stronghold domain, and the structure of his gene that was shown during the time of the testing, she decided not to ask.

In any case, she felt that Jack was keeping a lot from her, but, he was also revealing a lot to her as compared to anybody else. Although she was not that happy about the fact that he was still keeping a lot from her, but, she did not feel that much sad considering that Jack was actually revealing things to her slowly.

Additionally, she felt that Jack was mysterious in some ways. Not only him, but even his mother. After all, during the times that she had interacted with his mother, she had never expected that she was actually a superhuman.

Even the appearance of Jack's mother at that time did not actually match the one that these people here possessed. At that time, Jack's mother was actually just like a normal human, growing old as time went by.

"Okay. We should get going right now. The food has already been brought over, and you have woken up just in time. Right now, it is already at 7:00 in the night, and it is better if we eat dinner right now." Celine stated.

But, she had just finished saying that when suddenly, Jack landed a kiss on her lips. Then, just as she was wondering why Jack had done that, Jack retreated and said with a smile on his face, "I'm sure that you were kind of anticipating that before I spoke about the benefit."

Celine simply snorted after hearing what Jack had said. In her mind however, she could not help but exclaim, 'Just say that you wanted to kiss me. Why is it that you are actually looking for an excuse that you only wanted to kiss me?'

"I'll be there in a moment. But now, I have to deal with something else first." Jack said, looking at Celine who was looking at him with a little grievance in her eyes.

Celine pouted her lips before she decided to leave. She was not sure about what it was that Jack wanted to deal with, but, she trusted him. So, she decided to go ahead and prepare the food for him, so that after he was done, he could just go ahead and eat.

After Celine left, Jack finally focused on the system prompt that had appeared in front of him. Of course, it had appeared some time ago, it was just that, he was not focusing on it at all.

[A task has been generated. The host is given a mission of taking over the entire Stronghold named Devin. The time limit for this will be one month. In case the host fails to complete the mission on time, then, all the abilities that the host has received will be taken away. And other than that, one random ability of the system would also be frozen for an entire year.]

Jack: "…"

Jack was left speechless after reading through the mission that he had been given. He had not expected that the system was going to give him a mission like this.

Of course, it was not going to be difficult for him to be able to conquer a stronghold. It was just that, the stronghold that he had been assigned to conquer was actually a stronghold with a name.

That implied that the level of that stronghold was not low at all. And if that was the case, the power that was present in that stronghold was quite high, unlike the one that could be found in stronghold number 17.

Not to mention the fact that he really did not know the stronghold called Devin, he had actually been given a time limit of only one month. That implied that, one month from this moment, he was actually supposed to be capable of dealing with several superhumans at the same time.

From this, Jack could already tell that the system did not want him to play low, but, it wanted him to go out completely. It was just that, by going all out like that, he was definitely going to create many enemies along the way.

As for the punishment of failing to complete the mission, of course, the first one he could understand considering that that was always something that happened during the emergency missions. But now, he was actually going to have one of the systems abilities frozen.

And, it was actually random. If it just happened that the one that multiplied the income that he received by 100 times, then, he was definitely going to have a difficult time to be able to reach the top inside the stronghold. Moreover, it was going to be frozen for an entire year.

This was definitely something that Jack was not going to agree to. So, no matter what, he decided that he was going to start tomorrow, by starting by taking over the entire Stronghold that he was currently in.

After doing that, he was going to get more resources. And, with those resources, he was going to be able to improve his own strength, together with that of the people around him.

Other than that, he wanted to recruit as many people as possible, and then, using the resources that he would have received, he was going to increase their strength.

So, at this moment, Jack had decided that he was going to have the multiplier effect increase the quality of his income, and not the quantity. In this way, he would have the resources that he could use in order to improve his level as a superhuman.

After making that decision, Jack went ahead and joined the rest of the group in their meal. The meal was somehow lively considering that Samantha was recounting whatever had happened and not long ago.

Jack was a little surprised that not long after he had been unconscious, something like that happened. Had it not been for the fact that Celine was actually a superhuman, then, there was no doubt that Samantha would be in trouble.

At this point, he decided that, he had to make sure that everything was okay before he got himself in something like the one that had happened today. And other than that, Jack decided that tomorrow, the first thing that he was going to do was definitely pay a visit to the Force organization.

Those guys were the reason why he had been assigned a difficult mission. After all, the information that he had received until now was just too much, with the majority of them being completely irrelevant.
