Chapter 223 System Upgrade
Nathan left his room and went back to the living room where the kids are studying.
Pak! Pak!
Nathan clapped his hands and called the attention of the two.
"Kids, I have something good to tell you."
He said while smiling.
The two stopped what they were doing and looked at Nathan curiously.
Seeing that he got their attention, Nathan smiled further and said, "Just now, I talked with my friend and talked about sending you guys to school."
"And he told me that, maybe by next week, you two can already start going to school!"
Hearing that, Felicia was the first to react.
She stood up and started jumping joyfully.
"Yey, yey, yey! I can go to school!"
Running to Bruce, she looked up to him and said, "Brother, did you hear that? Brother Nathan said we can go to school!"
Bruce nodded, "Oum, I heard it, I'm also very excited, sister!"
Nathan looked at the pair with gentle eyes.
After that, he told them to continue their studies while he made their lunch.
Heading to the kitchen, Nathan was about to start cooking when an alarm sounded in his head.
[Ding!]
[System upgrade has been completed!]
[Please check the system for the changes.]
Nathan's movement paused for a moment before he hurriedly turned his attention to the system.
Calling the system panel, Nathan inspected it.
[Tap Tycoon]
[Host: Nathan Fernandez]
[Experience: 0/100]
[Token: 0]
[Lottery: 10 Token per spin]
[Missions: Naeco Tracks, Real Earth, Recognition for Kenneth, The Illuminati.]
[Subordinates: Mang Cardo(80)]
[System Buff: Double Profit.]
…
When Nathan saw the familiar but unfamiliar panel, he frowned.
"System, where did my null stones go?" Nathan asked.
[In order to upgrade, the system needed a large amount of energy which would take hundreds of years if the system only absorbed the energy in the air.]
[Thus, the null stones, which contained a bit of pure energy, were all consumed by the system to upgrade immediately.]
Hearing that, Nathan was dumbfounded.
There were hundreds of thousands null stones on the system before but now, not even a bit of it was left!
Null stones were the item needed in creating null fruits which can increase strength immediately.
It was the reason why Nathan's strength grew to such a level in such a short amount of time.
Now, there are no more null stones meaning, no more null fruits!
Thinking of this, Nathan felt a little disheartened to continue looking at the changes in the system.
But gathering himself, he continued.
Then, he immediately saw that a few more options on the system had now disappeared such as [Conversion] which he didn't even use, the [Gold Points], and most importantly, the [Shop]!
Nathan hurriedly asked the system where all them go only to here the system say,
[The functions that the host has mentioned have been deemed redundant by the system and so erased.]
Frowning, Nathan asked, "What do you mean redundant?"
"I understand why [Conversion] was removed, but how could you also remove the shop?!"
Shop was a very important function of the system in Nathan's opinion.
After all, this is where he was able to find items that solved his troubles a few times in the past.
Although it was only for a few times, those times were all considered critical moments!
Noticing that Nathan is starting to get agitated, the system said,
[Host needs to calm down, the shop has been removed because a similar function has been found in the host's soul talent.]
Nathan paused and thought about it for a moment.
Then he remembered the [Market] inside his dimensional space and realization dawned to him.
"Ah, so that's why it was removed."
Inside the [Market] all kinds of items could be found, be it from a fantasy world, sci-fi world, or just the present world, all of it is there!
Nathan crossed his arms and said, "Since that's the case, I guess there's really no problem with the upgrade, huh."
After accepting that, Nathan turned his attention to the [Token].
"System, this token should be the new currency by the system, right?"
[That is correct, host.]
[However, [Token] is not just the system's currency. It is also the currency used within the Milky Way galaxy, where Earth is located, and by a few nearby galaxies.]
"Ooh, so that's the currency in space." Nathan said while nodding in understanding.
Curiously, Nathan took out his phone and opened the tap tycoon app.
Immediately, the familiar opening screen appeared before directly going to the main screen.
This time, it wasn't like the previous interface where a treasure chest was on the screen.
Now, a monster, specifically a goblin, is on the screen.
At the top, there was an instruction.
[Hint: Tap the monster to attack. Kill it to earn Tokens.]
"Oh, even the game has changed."
Nathan said with a raised eyebrow.
Trying it out, Nathan started tapping the screen.
Damage value appeared on the screen as Nathan tapped his phone.
-1!
-1!
-1!
-1!
…
The amount of damage that Nathan input was pitifully low.
But thanks to his incredible hands speed, his damage per seconds was still really high.
Nathan continued tapping for quite some time before finally, the goblin on the screen died and burst into bright bits of lights.
[Hint: You killed a Goblin, +1 Token.]
[Hint: Double Profit Buff has been activated, +1 Token.]
…
Seeing that, a satisfied smile appeared on Nathan's face.
"Phew~ this fame has really become harder than before, huh. It took me almost 5 minutes just to kill that goblin." Nathan said.
But even though his words sound like he's complaining, the smile on his face seems to show his enjoyment.
Then next, Nathan said, "I should start grinding for some more tokens to spin the lottery!"
But then, Nathan's stomach made a rumbling sound.
Growl~
A wry smile appeared on Nathan's face and he said, "But first, I should prepare lunch for me and the kids."
After dismissing the system and turning off the game, Nathan started preparing their food.
