It was Sunday night, and Christian was reflecting on the progress he had made over the past week while looking at the status window in front of him.

Actually, it could be considered good, at least from the Idle system perspective. His level was now nine, and in just three more days, he should reach level ten.
But as his level in Program Hacking skill increased, he discovered that, unfortunately, his Idle system practice didn't consider the information he could get by hacking accessible. And before it beco an interdiate skill, he didn't have any plan to use it. So it was useless for a period of ti.
As for his progress in Trading, it was actually going smoothly, especially since the stock market opened on Monday and his skill level continued to rise.
By sticking to his policy of making safe purchases from his point of view, he finally managed to grow his base money to $5,000.
In the grand scale of things, it could be considered nothing, but he got to double the amount of his money with just over a week, and he was only getting started.
If you get to tell so expert at trading about a young novice whom had just started to dabble in Trading, making this much money in just one week, or showed them the staggering percentage increase, they might pass out from sheer disbelief. So, Christian proudly gave himself a top grade for now.
But while everything was going smoothly for him elsewhere, his days at school were another story. He did go to the school early a couple of tis, hoping to catch another glimpse of his future girlfriend (the older sister of Olivia) , but unfortunately, he didn't, and it wasn't until the third day that he sensed sothing was wrong.
Was he simping too much? Was he lowering his dignity with these behaviors? He didn't know about others, but Christian felt that acting like just another fan boy was beneath him. So, he decided to return to his normal schedule and go to school at the usual ti.
Then ca his first link to his future girlfriend, Olivia, the younger sister, and after looking into her more, he didn't like what he saw one bit.
In the cafeteria, which he very rarely visited, Christian sat in a corner, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible while watching Olivia and her two friends at the front as they got their food.
However, a male student walking and talking with a friend next to him, wasn't paying too much attention and accidentally bumped into Olivia with his coffee cup. From the shock of collision nearly half of the cup was spilled, but luckily, nothing spilled on her—or so Christian thought. But when he saw the male student apologizing profusely, he felt sothing was a bit off.
It was at that mont, the male student pulled out a handkerchief and knelt down one the ground, to clean a small stain on her shoes.
But the shocking scene ca next: Olivia looked at the male student with disgust, then stretched out her leg, placed her shoe on his white school shirt, and wiped the stain with it.
Like Christian didn't have any fantasies about her even from before, but at that mont they still shattered nevertheless. His jaw dropped at what he saw. Even the male student was initially frozen in shock, then ran away in embarrassnt, which was the exact opposite of what should have happened, in Christian's opinion.
Returning to his own thoughts, Christian knew this was an extre incident and nothing else like it had happened. But when he rembered her older sister's warm smile, he couldn't imagine her doing anything remotely like what Olivia had done.
Over the past week, from what Christian observed, Olivia seed to be a vain and rude girl who acted as if she were above everyone else, though she hid it well beneath her elegant deanor.
Her school marks were consistently second or third, and she never scored any higher. Moreover, upon closer inspection, the top student was a nerdy male, and Olivia didn't seem to pay him any attention or show any interest at all.
So, he was reconsidering whether he should assign the third slot of his Idle system when got it to high school subjects after all.
Putting these things aside, Christian tried to hold on and not give up hope. He decided to speak with one of her friends. He didn't try to make it seem like he wanted to befriend them; he just wanted to test their attitude, and he discovered it was pure shit—actually worse than Olivia herself—which made him think she might have been influenced by these snobbish friends.
Christian now had lost nearly all his hope with Olivia, so he tried to think of his previous four thods, and he actually arrived at a fifth one. which he rejecting previously.
His appearance! Like his nearly average height of 170 cm, couldn't be changed. His handso face with green eyes and black hair also didn't need alteration, as his face was his strongest point. But what about other aspects, like his body? Although he didn't have fat body by any ans but he still felt like he needed a lot of working to make it more acceptable.
As for his hairstyle, he could consider making a few changes.
So should he really assign the upcoming third slot of Idle Practicing to body fitness, or stick with the original plan of studying?
After much thought but without arriving at an answer, feeling caught in a dilemma, he decided to postpone his decision for now.
And he went back to his bed, deciding it was high ti for sleep
