12 The System Didn't Seem Right

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Aurelia's favorability +10, current 100 (till death do us part)]

Alvin saw the system notification flash before his eyes.

Before he could react, he saw Aurelia get up from the bed in a flash. She didn't even change her pajamas and ran into the kitchen.

"You actually prepared breakfast? Oh my God, I have almost forgotten about this. After we dated for half a year, you didn't bother to do this anymore!"

Aurelia looked very happy. At the same time, she lowered the temperature of the induction cooker. She was much better at cooking and knew more about the heat than Alvin.

"Hiss."

Alvin smiled bitterly, "So I'm actually such a lazy person."

According to Aurelia, he had the patience to prepare breakfast for the two of them at the beginning. However, as their relationship grew and developed, he became lazy to do this anymore and left everything to Aurelia.

However, compared to this, Alvin was more concerned about the system's reminder just now.

By making breakfast, Aurelia's favorability had increased by 10 points.

However, the total amount still stopped at 100 points.

In other words, this favorability system actually had an upper limit. It was probably capped at 100 points and could no longer break through.

The system's rule was that one would receive a reward when the favorability increased.

Now that the favorability had reached the upper limit, there was no more room for advancement.

Therefore, Alvin did not receive the reward this time.

This indeed caused Alvin a headache.

He had thought that the system had great potential, and he could have unlimited advancement.

He did not expect that it only increased his strength by 200 points and nothing else.

"Sigh."

Alvin let out a sigh.

However, this was not unacceptable as he was satisfied with the 200 points of strength.

Having this thought, Alvin walked into the kitchen and prepared the breakfast together with Aurelia.

When the food was served on the table, Aurelia didn't start eating.

Instead, she took out her phone, found a good angle, and took a photo.

It was obvious that Aurelia was very excited that she never stopped smiling.

Alvin shook his head and leaned back cooperatively. Before Aurelia felt satisfied, he would not touch the food.

Taking a photo before a meal was probably a common problem for girls?

Alvin thought so.

Alvin could not help but suddenly think of his ex-girlfriend.

They were still schooling then. His ex-girlfriend did the same. No matter what kind of meal they had, they had to pose for half an hour before eating.

Many times, when they were ready to eat, the food had become cold...

Of course, this didn't affect their relationship.

When they were still schooling, they were still relatively simple-minded, or rather they had not seen the world.

They also rarely compared the living conditions and the like, and they did not necessarily have a clear plan for the future.

But when they entered society, everything changed.

Working to earn a living was no longer a decent job in their eyes. Feeling lost about the future had made many fail to adapt to the change.

At the same time, life from different classes of society suddenly appeared in front of their eyes like a movie.

They were in their early twenties when they graduated. For guys, it was the time when they were the poorest. As for girls, they were at their most beautiful age.

As expected, the argument between Alvin and his ex-girlfriend became more and more serious.

His ex-girlfriend complained that he did not have much savings and his job had no future.

Alvin was wholeheartedly devoted to his work then. He was unable to pay attention to their emotional connection.

As expected, his ex-girlfriend finally found a 40-year-old rich man and lived the life she wanted.

Alvin was sad for a weekend. He then decided that after he accumulated a certain amount of wealth at the age of 40, he would find a girl who had just left school. 

When he started to work again, his sad mood was gradually washed away by his work. Since then, Alvin didn't even try to recall it. He had even almost forgotten about it.

...

"Hey! Hey! Alvin, what are you thinking about?"

Alvin didn't realize that he had been in a daze for a long time until Aurelia waived her palm in front of his eyes.

"Nothing," Alvin picked up a piece of soft bread and answered casually. "I just remembered my ex-girlfriend. She was eating breakfast with me at that time."

Pa!

The fork in Aurelia's hand fell on the table. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was half-open. It was as if she wanted to say something but she did not for a long time.

The dining room fell into silence.

[Warning: Aurelia's favorability-10, current 90 (loyal)]

A line of virtual bullet comments floated past Alvin, only then did he realize that he had caused trouble.

When he mentioned his ex-girlfriend, he did not think too much about it. He had just said whatever came to his mind. But now, it was obvious that it had made Aurelia a little angry.

Aurelia put down her cutlery and crossed her arms. "What did you say just now? Can you repeat it?"

"Ahem."

Alvin wanted to cover up his awkwardness with a cough, at the same time, stall for time so that he could come up with a suitable excuse.

Fortunately, Alvin had been dealing with different people all year round, so he could quickly think of a way.

He said, "What I mean is, compared to my ex-girlfriend, you are too perfect. I was really blind to fall for her in the past..."

"How perfect am I?"

"Well... take the photography skill as an example. The food she took wouldn't make people have an appetite at all. But your work can make me eat rice alone for a night just by looking at the photos."

"What else?"

"Um... if we really have to discuss this, I think we can make a list of the size of a football field. It's because no matter from what angle, you are far superior to her."

"Hehe..."

Alvin successfully amused Aurelia. She picked up the cutlery again and no longer bothered about this matter.

Seeing this, Alvin heaved a sigh of relief.

This was probably the most critical moment he had in recent years. If he was not careful and angered Aurelia, then he would be able to conceptualize the power of nine billion strength points today.

At this moment, Alvin saw another virtual bullet screen floating in front of him.

[Aurelia's favorability +10, current 100 (till death do us part)]

[Due to the increased favorability, the host's strength attribute is rewarded with 100 points.]

...

[Host: Alvin]

[Strength: 340(↑100)]

[Speed: 6.25]

[Reaction time: 0.4]

[Firearm proficiency: 10]

...

"Ah?"

Alvin was stunned.

"Does the system work this way?"
