Leo closed the open window in the living room and let himself fall into a chair.
Since he'd been woken up in the middle of his sleep, his eyes kept trying to close on their own.
Leo stopped resisting his instincts and shut his eyes, but the whole room was still bright.
[Congratulations, host, during the time you possessed the Godly face slapper's selection system, you displayed perfect performance and earned the following final evaluation rewards]
[1-right to open one beginner gift packet in your next system 1*]
[2-skill card - Ottoman Slap VER.02]
As Leo read the words floating before his eyes, he sometimes smiled and sometimes made a face that said I knew it.
Naturally, he had now completely lost the last remaining bits of sleepiness.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the white cat sitting on the opposite chair, getting ready to fall asleep.
Just like Leo had expected, the cat didn't try to run away the moment it finished its food; instead, it curled up in the soft, warm corner of the chair and lay there.
Leo stopped paying attention to his new pet and opened the system inventory, trying to take out the new skill card inside, but he realized he couldn't feel the inventory at all.
[All functions of the previous system have been disabled. The items carried in your system inventory will be delivered within three seconds]
When Leo heard that, his mind filled with fear for a moment, but he quickly relaxed after remembering that there were no cameras anywhere in his house.
A gap opened in the air before Leo, and a pile of items spilled onto the table in front of the couch.
The first things to fall onto the table were 12–13 straps made up of 50,000 won bills.
According to Leo's knowledge, one strap consisted of 100 paper bills.
Based on that, he quickly counted them and confirmed that the total was exactly 63 million won.
After the piles of won fell out, a strap of dollars landed as well. That one was worth 10,000 dollars.
Then Leo's eyes focused on the two cards resting on top of the money bundle.
One of the cards was the level 2 mechanic specialization card he'd earned from his last mission. The other was the Ottoman slap skill card he'd just received.
Since this card was the very first skill card Leo had ever obtained, he felt a bit excited.
For him, this was the second step toward the dream of becoming a superman living a salted-fish life in the city.
Leo flipped the card and was surprised, because unlike his previous specialization cards, this one had a description written on it.
Ottoman slap VER.02: The Ottoman Empire would take male children from the countries under its rule as a form of tax and train them as janissaries. When janissaries reached the age of twenty, they would slap hard objects such as marble or wood every day until their hands were covered in calluses, allowing them to knock out their enemies with a single slap strike. This slap technique has been improved by the system; from now on, your hands will be as soft as a woman's hands, but your slaps will carry true damage that breaks through all defenses.
"True damage! Is this the same true damage? The true damage we know from games? So even if someone is wearing a bulletproof vest, as long as I hit them with my palm, they'll still get hurt? Ha ha, I like it. I'm glad we finally started speaking the same language, system."
Unfortunately, this was the last time Leo ever saw the "Godly face slapper's selection system."
Without even realizing it, Leo had seen fragments of thousands of different system novels, and everything he witnessed had also been seen by the cube on his chest.
[Congratulations, host, with the use of your 100 percent good luck and 15 percent bad luck, you have earned the right to possess a new system. The plans for the new system are listed below. Please choose the system you wish to possess.]
Even before looking at the options, Leo could already guess that each of them would be better than his previous system.
Even though his previous system had a grand, exalted name, in reality, the only thing it did was make life harder for him.
At first, when Leo saw the name of that system, a lot of things came to mind.
For example, he imagined bumping into a martial artist on the street and the system descending from the sky like a god to grant him martial arts far beyond his opponent's. Then Leo would roam the city, crushing everyone with his abilities and enjoying the life of an arrogant young master.
But reality wasn't like that at all.
The system always appeared at the worst possible timing and asked him to slap people he had no chance of beating.
Leo stopped complaining because even if the system had caused him to be sent to the police station, he was fully aware that the same system had also saved him, thanks to his weak physique.
That was why, no matter how much he complained, he didn't dig too deeply into the matter.
All he could do was sigh and look toward his bright future.
[ 1- The all-knowing advisor system]
[ 2- The intelligence system]
[ 3- The planet-level shelter system]
[ 4- invincible market owner system]
[ 5- The prosperity with every breath system]
Leo smiled in surprise at the variety of options presented by the system.
This time, there were many different systems he could choose from.
Not wanting to waste time, Leo immediately began eliminating options so he could secure a good system.
First of all, the name of the first system already revealed its general function.
It was probably a system where he would earn rewards by providing guidance to people.
If he chose this one, Leo was sure that he would become an expert in many professions before long.
But the problem was: would this system give him attribute points?
Leo was someone who didn't struggle financially and wasn't suffering from the vicious schemes of relatives like other MCs.
Even without the money he earned in the past few days, he had a home where he could live comfortably, and he could receive enough money from his family to eat at good restaurants every day.
Therefore, Leo's expectations from a system were listed like this:
Special powers > stat points > magical treasures > specialization cards > things normally hard to buy even with money > cash
Leo wondered whether he should add women to that priority list, but he forcefully removed the thought.
After all, no system would give women to its host as a reward, right?
"Hey system! Is there any system type that gives women as a reward?"
...
"Staying silent means admitting it, just so you know."
Leo ignored the system and was about to think about the other options when he suddenly remembered a novel he'd read in his previous life.
The harem girl summoning system...
Before continuing, Leo furrowed his brows, went through a brief inner conflict, and with his mind filled with cat-girl figures, he added women as the third item on his list.
After staring at the list for a while, he erased the word women and replaced it with reliable subordinates, feeling proud of himself.
