"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining 66 points of prestige from Tim."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining 86 points of prestige from Bruce."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining 43 points of prestige from Lisa."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining 17 points of prestige from Nick."
"Ding! Congratulations for gaining from William's..."
The System quickly reported names along with their corresponding prestige points.
At first, Alex Rivers was delighted to hear familiar names, but after a while, the frequent System prompts made her a bit impatient.
"Alright, alright, System, activate silent mode," Alex said.
"Okay, Host. Silent mode has been activated. You can view the historical records of anyone who provided prestige points at any time." The System ceased its audio notifications.
Alex was pleasantly surprised by this new feature. The System could not only display the names of everyone who provided prestige points but also let her check anyone's related historical records.
From now on, it would be clear who was a hater and who was a true fan!
In addition, the System had strengthened many other functions.
In the System Store, if Alex personally defeated an enemy, the prestige points required for that enemy's superpower would be discounted.
The above were the optimized improvements regarding prestige points.
After this upgrade, the System also enhanced and optimized the use and acquisition of points.
First, besides defeating enemies in combat herself, Alex could also gain System points if her loyal subordinates achieved victory in battle.
Second, the Crossing cooldown was now only ten days, and shortening it by one day only cost 1000 points.
"System, which of my subordinates are currently loyal to me and can go out and fight to earn me points?" Alex asked.
"Host, currently Faora, Terminator Amy, and all ordinary Terminators, if they achieve victory in battle, can provide corresponding point rewards based on the strength of the enemies they defeat," the System quickly replied.
"Great! From now on, for weaker enemies, I'll just send my subordinates to deal with them. I can just lie back and enjoy myself." Hearing this reply, Alex was extremely happy inside...
Meanwhile, Tony Stark and his bodyguard Happy were enthusiastically sparring in a boxing match in the ring.
At this moment, Pepper Potts walked over, followed by Tony's legal advisor and notary, Natasha.
"The notary is here, Tony. Can you please come and sign the company transfer documents?" Pepper said directly, finding a seat near the ring and sitting down.
"Happy and I are exercising. Let's talk after we finish," Tony said, seizing the opportunity. While Happy was looking at Natasha and reacted a beat too late, Tony unexpectedly landed a sneak punch on him.
"What kind of move is that? That's a dirty trick!" Happy complained, clearly displeased with Tony's punch, though both were wearing protective gear, so it didn't hurt much.
"This is free combat! Come on, keep training with me!" Tony said excitedly.
However, just as Happy was about to re-engage, Tony also saw Natasha walking in. His gaze was drawn to Natasha's tall and graceful figure, and he couldn't help but steal a few more glances.
Happy seized Tony's moment of distraction and lightly punched Tony in the chest.
"Oh...!"
"First lesson, never get distracted in front of your opponent," Happy said.
At this moment, Pepper, from the side, spoke with a slightly resentful and sarcastic tone: "Tony, I promise you, this is the only chance you'll ever get in your life. Please sign the company over to me."
After saying that, she had Natasha open the notarized document and handed it to Tony: "Please sign your name in each section."
Tony looked at the document, then at the serious-faced Pepper, and only then did he seriously take the pen and begin to sign...
"Beautiful lady, may I know your name?" Tony, captivated by Natasha's stunning appearance, eagerly began to flirt.
"My name is Natalie Rushman," Natasha said with a slight smile, giving a false name.
"Would you be willing to spar with me? Just a friendly match," Tony said, raising his hand in an inviting gesture.
"Tony, don't be like that..." Pepper advised, then turned to Natasha and said, "I'm so sorry, he's just a strange person like that. You really don't have to pay attention to him."
However, after Pepper spoke, Natasha revealed a confident smile, stepped forward, and elegantly walked onto the ring.
"No problem, we'll just have a casual spar," Natasha said softly.
Seeing Natasha decisively accept Tony's challenge, Pepper felt a surge of unhappiness in addition to her worry.
She actually harbored romantic feelings for Tony and was afraid that Tony and Natasha might spark some unnecessary fire.
More importantly, she had seen too much of Tony's playboy behavior.
Who knew what this "friendly spar" between him and Natasha would eventually turn into?
The thought of Tony's past ambiguous relationships and subsequent intimate encounters with numerous women gave Pepper a headache.
She didn't want to clean up Tony's messes anymore, nor did she want to see him being ambiguous with other women.
"Tony, can't you change your philandering ways...?" Pepper sighed internally. She could only silently pray, hoping Tony wouldn't cause any more trouble, lest she have to clean up his messes again.
However, to Pepper's relief, Tony did not get too entangled with Natasha. He quickly tired and got off the ring.
"Happy, you professional boxer, come and spar with this lady. You teach her," Tony said, patting Happy's shoulder.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Happy was delighted at the prospect of sparring with a beauty like Natasha, eager to show off his fighting skills in front of her.
Tony stepped off the ring and sat beside Pepper, crossing his legs and curiously asking, "Pepper, who is this lady named Natalie?"
"She's a new employee in the legal department," Pepper said, also crossing her legs and speaking in a calm tone. "If you keep staring at people like that, you might get sued for sexual harassment."
"I want a new personal assistant," Tony said, his eyes fixed on Natasha in the ring. Although he wasn't speaking in a wheedling tone, Tony still sounded very much like a child asking for a new toy, "My boss."
Tony was no longer in charge; he was just a major shareholder. Pepper had just replaced Tony as CEO.
"Don't worry, I've already found three excellent assistant candidates for you, and they're waiting in line to see you!" Pepper didn't want to entertain Tony's request, ignoring his gaze towards Natasha.
