Chapter 5: [Chapter:5][Finding a loophole]
'Ella, isn't this technically my second world?'
((…what?))
A thought which might change everything suddenly came to Al's mind, making his heart beat faster in excitement.
'Right, it is my second world! After all, although I didn't have the System back then, I still lived another life before this one didn't I?'
((But as you just said, you didn't have the System back then…))
'I didn't have it, but that doesn't mean the System wasn't there! it was in my previous life that the System, or more precisely you, 'selected' me as your host! So doesn't that mean I and the System were technically in another world prior to coming to this one!?'
The more he thought about it, the more excited Al became. As for the reason for that? Obviously because, in the last four years, the number of times he managed to interact with the protagonist, Tang San, could be counted on one hand!
Perhaps because he was sort of an introvert in his previous life as well, or maybe because he didn't want to interact with little kids even though he looked like one, Tang San basically avoided all contact with other kids his own age. Of course, technically speaking, Al was a year or two older than him, but he didn't know that.
Because of that, his relation had not even reached 20!
Tang San | Loyalty : 18
It was the lowest relation he had even when punting his father! Even the Titled Douluo had a Loyalty of 32 thanks to Al giving him a few bottles every now and then from Grandpa Jack's secret stash.
And if his previous life could indeed be counted…
((…! Got it! It's counted!))
Al almost jumped in excitement! Luckily, his hands were still tied down by two cute weights, making him come back to his senses quickly.
Still, though, looking at the new windows before him, he couldn't help but grin widely.
((You got one more [Max Affection / Loyalty Card], a chance to share a second skill with those who have Max relation with you, and another perk which I already selected…))
[[Acquired Perk [Perfect Memory].]]
'Perfect memory? So like, I have photographic memory now?', Al asked as he blinked in confusion. He didn't feel like he needed such an ability at the moment.
((The perk doesn't just effect your mental memories. Your muscle memory, your soul memory, everything is affected. In short, as long as you learn or experience something, whether it's mental or physical or spiritual or otherwise, you'll never forget it, and you'll never lose proficiency in doing it even if you don't do it for years, centuries, etc… .))
'So basically I never get rusty…nice!'
It wasn't an overly powerful perk, but just like his 'Perfect Literate' perk, it was a fairly useful one. Perhaps not immediately but…
((Oh but it 'is' useful immediately~! Haven't you been wanting to learn the [Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer] or [Chaotic Cloak Hammer] from Tang Hao? This is your chance~! Originally, you can only 'learn' skills when they are written clearly, but with his, as long as you properly observe the skill in usage, you should be able to get the learning prompt.))
'!!!'
Al froze for a brief moment as his eyes widened. Then, his body trembled in excitement as his eyes nearly teared up in joy.
The reason for his dramatic response it obvious because…
'I can finally get rid of this sissy body!'
Yes, although due to his age, he didn't look strange, and although he knew the System would take care of the 'side effects', using the 'Peach Blossom Art' would still make him 'feminine' and 'beautiful'.
But Al didn't want to look like a girl! He liked girls, but he still wanted muscles and eight packs and all that!
He wanted to be handsome! Not beautiful!
And what better way of getting toned muscles and losing his sissy look, than a skill which could very well be the best body building exercise available, when the 'Body Sect' doesn't yet exist?
'Tang Hao, Clear Sky Douluo, thank you! For giving me this chance, I will surely take good care of your wife and son.'
((Uwah~! Pervert~! My host is a pervert aiming for someone's wife~~!))
'Oh shut it. You know what I'm talking about.'
Al rolled his eyes as he continued bickering with Ella, the two little girls Xia Yue and Xia Yan looking at their big brother curiously.
'Why did big brother' 'stop while walking' 'and look like he wanted to jump' 'and looks so excited now?'
Strangely enough, the two girls even had their thoughts in conjunction as they could perfectly 'think' each other's sentence with ease.
