The Buggiest System V1 19 Impecabble Voice

Recalling the day's earlier events, he remembered that System had notified him of a bug. He tried to think of what System had said but to no avail.

Suddenly, System had notified him. It was the name of the bug.

"Fourth system bug: unsaved recently upgraded stats."

Reading the name of the bug, Zhou Lei just became more confused than before.

"What do you mean, "unsaved recently upgraded stats"?"

System responded bluntly, "Upgraded stats just before crashing were not saved."

"Ahh..." It took a little while, but Zhou Lei finally managed to understand the bug. However, he got worried.

"What happened to my upgrade points then?"

"They have been returned to you."

Reading this, Zhou Lei checked his points. They really are here!

And so, without hesitation, Zhou Lei allocated these points to the stats he had upgraded before, Appearance, Stat Retainability, and Voice.

"The upgrades will take effect overnight. Voice will be upgraded immediately."

After System notified him, Zhou Lei felt pretty good. This bug... was not as damaging as the others! In fact, this couldn't even be called a bug.

Even so, recalling the matter with the most recent quest that System had given him, his mood changed immediately. It was as if he had the bipolar disorder.

.....

Nighttime.

The Zhou house was already cleaned up, thanks to Zhou Zhenya's hard work. Zhou Jiahao arrived first from work, followed by his wife, Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Zhenya greeted her parents and started doing her next task, to cook. She walked towards the kitchen with a quick pace, only to be stopped by her mother.

She was planning to carry out their scheme to make money now. The memory of her daughter's teacher calling her when she was at work had been on her mind the whole time!

"Ya Ya, don't do this, I will do it this time." Zhou Xiang said to her daughter rather bluffly.

"OK, mama." Since her mother was telling her that she didn't need to cook anymore, Zhou Zhenya would naturally not put on airs. She didn't like cooking, as she was always forced to do so.

'Geez, not even a single bit of resistance?' Seeing her daughter act like this, Zhou Xiang was a little disappointed. 'Fine, she's going to become famous soon enough, she has the right to be blunt.'

Of course, Zhou Xiang, just having come home from work, would naturally not be able to cook well. Hence, she was thinking of training her no-good son to cook instead, since she would obviously not be able to cook every day.

"Lei, come over!"

At this point, an immaculate voice sounded out from Zhou Lei's room.

"Coming!"

'!!'

All the three family members had the same thoughts. Whose voice was that? That perfect, impeccable, another adjective synonymous to perfect, flawless voice?

Zhou Lei stood up from his bed and exited his room after confirming to his mother the fact that he heard her calling him.

After all, if he didn't do so, she would nag endlessly again, about how one should respond if they were called...

'Anyway...'

As Zhou Lei brushed aside his pessimistic thoughts, he arrived at the kitchen where he heard his mother's voice coming from.

He was greeted by the sight of his family looking at him with wide-eyes, while also putting their hands on their ears to amplify their hearing, listening attentively.

"What's...!"

As Zhou Lei was about to ask what was wrong, he realized something. It was his voice! His seamless, irreproachable, another adjective synonymous to seamless, faultless voice!

'How could I have forgotten?'

As soon as he realized this, he covered his mouth with his left palm and slowly retreated back to his room...

"Wait!"

Zhou Xiang! It was Zhou Xiang that had finally spoken up!

Zhou Lei froze. He hurriedly scrambled in his mind for a reasonable excuse as to why his voice was like that.

He wouldn't be able to handle the pressure that they exerted on his little sister back when they first saw her extraordinarily beautiful face!

'That's it!'

As he already thought of an excuse, Zhou Lei quickly blurted it out.

"It... it's p.u.b.erty!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiang and the others wanted to spurt out blood.

'p.u.b.erty? In your age, p.u.b.erty?! Besides, you've already gone through p.u.b.erty!'

Sure, there were some cases where p.u.b.erty hit on a late age, but it was definitely not the case for their son, who went through p.u.b.erty already when he was 13...

Zhou Lei's train of thought had also gone in the direction that his parents were heading towards, only, he was a small bit smarter than them, and thus arrived faster. He looked for an excuse yet again, and this time, he a.s.sured himself that it was an impeccable excuse.

"Th-the second stage! The second stage of p.u.b.erty!"

The second stage? That... actually makes sense... only a small bit though...

.....

Finally, Zhou Lei had settled this matter, and eventually, his parents accepted the change.

They accepted the change of their daughter's appearance so easily, that is, not to the extent that other parents would have, much less a measly change, although drastic, in their son's voice!

But still, Zhou Lei was confused over a matter.

He only put in 50 upgrade points in his voice, this time, and the last time as well. Why does it sound like this voice stat of his already exceeded 100?

As he investigated, System seemed to have only found out about this bug as well, as a notification popped up in Zhou Lei's mind.

Like usual, the cute voice that came with a bug sounded out in Zhou Lei's mind. "System is a prototype, so he is p.r.o.ne to bugs. I hope this won't affect your experience!"

After this was the robotic voice of System. "Fifth system bug discovered: altered amount of upgrade points allocated."

Seeing this, Zhou Lei couldn't help but be in awe of the alliteration...

'What a good 'altered amount of upgrade points allocated'!'

This was definitely taken from "I'm a Superstar, Really".

It isn't even good alliteration, and you're praising it? Author, how conceited are you?

Ohoh, then how lonely are you for you to talk to yourself?

Well... that is...

Hahaha!

You do know that you're mocking yourself, right?

Well... that is...

Hahaha!

And so ends the futile attempt to make this chapter longer.

Back to the main story...

"Hmm?" Zhou Lei was, like always, confused about the bug.

'These names, although literal, are sure hard to understand!'

System explained to Zhou Lei what the bug was, patiently, at the same time, impatiently. "More or less than intended upgrade points were allocated on the stat: Host's Voice."

Zhou Lei checked on the stat.

Voice: 112

'W-what the heck?!'

He had 100 points prior to him upgrading his voice by 50, but why was it at 112? He could clearly remember that his voice stat was only at 12 before, so, at most, it should have been 62 only...

'Did System use all of my remaining upgrade points?'

To answer Zhou Lei's doubts, System responded quite quickly. "Your upgrade points are not affected."

"Hmm, what?" As Zhou Lei heard this short explanation from System, he was pleasantly surprised. He checked it, and his eyes brightened.

Upgrade points: 50

He had essentially gotten a freebie from System!

His voice stat was upgraded by 100 points, while only using 50. For once, Zhou Lei had benefited from a bug! It's not like he benefited from the very first one, or something...
