Chapter 41: System Can You Just Shut Up.
With his photographic memory and his free, accelerated brain boost, Jack studied online before heading to the Bavarian State Library.
The library was huge, with a 10 million-book collection. Jack, with a thirst for knowledge, excitedly learned about his topic of degree first.
After completing this degree, he intended to pursue a master\'s degree and a PhD.
His thirst for knowledge was limitless, and he felt as though he was only scratching the surface.
Jack was so engrossed in his studies that, despite having such a beautiful watch, he didn\'t check the time.
"Excuse me, sir, we have to close the library for today." A clerk came in beside Jack. He was standing there for about half an hour, looking at Jack; he wasn\'t able to muster up the courage to talk with Jack.
Jack glanced at the clerk, who abruptly entered. The clerk stepped back and lowered his head.
Jack checked his watch and was shocked to see it was 8.10 pm, as the library closes at 7.30 PM.
"Why didn\'t you come earlier?" Jack asked while getting up.
"I am sorry, sir," the clerk replied with his head down.
"You don\'t have to be sorry." Saying this, Jack patted the clerk\'s shoulder and then left the library.
He ate at a restaurant. Jack, as an intelligent person, knew that after consuming that card, Aura of the Emperor, there was something wrong with him; he was scaring people.
Jack decided to check the use of it; the power he has, he wanted to utilize it fully. After going home, Jack met with Emma; she looked normal around Jack.
Jack squinted his eyes while resting on the couch. Emma was also on the other couch; they were chilling in the living room.
After Jack squinted his eyes, Emma frowned a little, then looked at him. Before she could utter a word, her entire body straightened.
Then she looked like someone was pushing her down on her knees; the more Jack focused, the more Emma felt pressure.
Jack closed his eyes, not wanting to inflict pain on his friend, as he was truly horrified by his power.
Emma, who was now kneeling, was taking deep breaths and looking at Jack. Jack opened his eyes; his eyes were like a god was sitting there, Unquestionable Eyes.
Emma didn\'t ask anything; she just sat back up and was scared to ask any questions about what just happened.
"I\'ll just go back to sleep," Emma said, heading back to her room.
Jack also stood up, having nearly grasped the essence of this power after experimenting on Emma.
This power can bend people\'s will. Jack looked at himself in his room; this time he knew what he was looking at. The reflection on the mirror was his, but he looked like the god of the world was standing there.
"Well, this is addictive." Jack then went to sleep, his eagerness to know what tomorrow\'s random shop was lessened.
After waking up, Jack went for his usual jog without bothering the poor hotdog seller.
Jack went to an open-air restaurant; this was becoming his habit of eating breakfast after jogging.
As usual, he was making even the owner of the place uncomfortable. The owner came personally to serve him the food; he was still nervous and waited for Jack to take his first bite. After Jack nodded, the owner of the restaurant sighed with relief.
Normally, people would be observing Jack and the owner for their unusual behavior, but they strategically chose not to do so, maintaining silence around Jack to avoid disturbing him.
Jack enjoyed this VIP treatment; walking back home, he was all smiley.
After taking the bath, Jack was looking at the system panel; the random shop was about to be reset.
[Random Shop: Time Stopper (stops the time of the whole universe by 5 seconds) = 10,000,000,000€ | 23.57.45]
Jack\'s mouth twitched; the price tag was out of this world; the item was also out of this world; then Jack went to the library to read again.
The next day, again after bathing, Jack looked at the panel in anticipation; his balance was 700K€; if there was any item close to the price, he\'d buy it.
[Random Shop: Divine Body = 1 Trillion € | 23.56.42]
The next day, Jack\'s anticipation was even less because the item\'s system was showing was out of his league.
It was not like he\'s fighting an outer space monster; Jack, as usual, went to the library and studied.
The following day, Jack, devoid of enthusiasm, once again checked the system randomly.
[Random Shop: Time Capsule (past) = 30,000,000,000 € | 23.56.21]
Jack cried without tears, "System, can you just shut up?" The items were so great that Jack wanted them all, but the sky-high price tag left him frustrated.
The next day, as Jack was returning from his jog, he passed through an alleyway that was eerie and shadowy, even in the daytime.
"Jack," a sound came from the alleyway as Jack was just passing it. Jack glanced into the alleyway and noticed a hooded figure standing there.
The situation appeared extremely sketchy, but upon realizing that it was only one person and that the silhouette in the darkness looked familiar, Jack smiled and slowly approached the person.
Jack was looking around to see if there were more people by that person, and he found none; even if there was one, Jack didn\'t fear them any more.
"Ryan, I know that\'s you," Jack said, walking up to the person.
Ryan slowly revealed his face, which looked worse; he looked like he was taking drugs all night.
"Hehe, you took the bait? You\'ve ruined my life; I can\'t be a father anymore. Just because of you, this alleyway is a nice place, don\'t you think? No camera, no eyes, hehe." Ryan\'s creepy, drug-addictive voice came, then he pulled out a knife from his hood.
" So? What\'s your intention?" Jack asked calmly.
"My intention? There\'s none, actually. My intentions were to fuck Emma in the ass, but my dick is not listening to me," Ryan said. His voice was in the middle of crying and complaining.
"Well, I am sorry. How about I give you 100K€? Let\'s say we\'re equal." Jack offered a deal to Ryan very calmly.
"Do you think I lack money? You pathetic begger." Saying this, Ryan went for a knife attack on Jack.
Jack just looked at him with a shocked expression because he didn\'t think Ryan had balls for it. In reality, his balls were actually not working.
Jack immediately squinted his eyes. Ryan, who was coming towards Jack with a jump, slammed down on the ground immediately and kneeled down; his temples were even touching the ground; he was bleeding from his ears and eyes.
Jack then gave Ryan a small but powerful kick to the chest, knocking him out.
Seeing Ryan not moving anymore, Jack sighed, then called Ambulance; he didn\'t want to be the murderer of a pathetic man.
Then Jack went home. After this incident, Jack was even more depressed to check the system\'s random shop.
After taking a bath, he sat down on his couch to look at the shop, hoping to find something to buy.
[Random Shop: Makita 10,000 sft Luxurious Bungalow = 250,000€ | 23.56.34]
Looking at the item that was for sale, Jack was confused. \'What is this?, but it\'s in my budget. Systems items are excellent in value.\' Jack decided to buy it anyway.
Jack received a paper in a different language; he didn\'t understand the words, but he was certain to recognize his name, Which was there.
Jack\'s name was already signed; on the paper, Jack saw some English words, which said \'Registration.".
Jack understood this was the registration paper for the new bungalow he just bought.
Jack then put both of his property deeds in his bedroom cabinet. After that, he looked for information about where Makita was. Jack has very little knowledge about world geography.
He just typed Makita; there was already a suggestion in his search box, Manila.
Jack was shocked. It was in Asia? That\'s far. Too far. Actually, Jack has never thought about flying to Asia; now he has a house in a faraway country called the Philippines.
A country so far, Jack\'s eyes shined with excitement; he wanted to visit this country, which was so far. Jack dialed Luxaviation; he wanted to go there as soon as possible.
"Hello, this is Luxaviation, Mr. Jack."
" Oh? You remember me?"
"Yes, sir, we remember every client, as each of them is precious to us."
"Alright, I want a private jet from Munich to Manila." Jack asked for a private jet.
Jack muttered in his mind \'Sytem\' to see his balance.
[Balance: 1,230,000 €]
