Chapter 140 I'd Be A God!
Hugo stood frozen in front of the mirror, staring into his own reflection like a man who'd just discovered superpowers.
His eyes—once ordinary—now held a magnetic pull so intense he felt like he could hypnotise himself just by looking too long.
They shimmered with a mix of confidence and mystery, as if they were whispering secrets no one else could hear.
He leaned in closer, squinting. "This is nuts... just 10 points did this?" His mind was already spinning with possibilities.
The temptation was real. He wanted to dump every last Mastery Point into Mesmerizing Gaze right now.
Who needed restraint when the results were this good? His finger hovered over the "Add Points" button.
But then, a flicker of self-control kicked in. "Wait, wait, wait," he muttered, stepping away from the screen like it was cursed. "This is how you go broke, Hugo! Think smart!"
He began pacing again, muttering ridiculous chants under his breath. "Impulse is the enemy... patience is a virtue... my points are precious..."
He slapped his cheeks lightly, trying to snap himself out of it. "Calm down, man! You're not a kid in a candy store!"
His pacing slowed, and he took a deep breath. "Okay, okay. Calm down. Let's think this through."
As he paced, Hugo's thoughts began to clear. "Alright, so the Mastery Tab is like... passive skills," he said, nodding to himself.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"They're always on. You don't have to activate them, don't have to think about them. They're just... there, working in the background. Like having a permanent upgrade to life."
He tapped his chin, his mind racing. "Now, the Auras? Those are different. They're active. You turn them on, they do their thing, and then they run out. They're flashy, sure, but they're temporary."
He paused, a grin spreading across his face. "But Masteries? Oh man, they're the real deal. They're always there, always working. It's like getting buff without going to the gym."
Hugo nodded to himself, feeling like he'd cracked some great cosmic secret. "I finally get it. Mastery is lowkey OP."
With his newfound understanding, Hugo scrolled back to the Kissing Mastery slot. His face flushed as he hovered over the button.
"This is so embarrassing," he muttered, glancing around his empty room. "But hey, the system doesn't judge, right?"
Hugo leaned back in his chair, staring at the Mastery Tab with a mix of awe and greed. His gaze flicked between the three slots:
Mesmerizing Gaze, Kissing Mastery, and Speed Reader. Each one only had 10 points, but the effects were already blowing his mind.
"What if I maxed them all out?" he wondered aloud, his imagination running wild.
He pictured himself walking into a room, his gaze so intense that people would stop mid-sentence just to stare.
He'd kiss like a movie star, speak like a legend, and ace every test without breaking a sweat.
"I'd be unstoppable," he whispered, his grin widening. "No, I'd be a god!"
"I need a million credits!" he shouted, throwing his arms in the air. "No, a billion! I'll max out everything! I'll be a god among men!"
But when he glanced at his remaining credits, reality came crashing down. "Okay, Hugo, slow your roll," he muttered, slumping back onto his bed.
"You've got, what, 2,000 credits left? Baby steps. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."
Hugo sat straight, his excitement bubbling again. There was still one thing he hadn't checked yet: the Level-Up Token.
He clicked on it, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Alright, let's see what you've got," he said, his voice tinged with mischief. "Don't let me down, Token. Show me something amazing!"
