The Buggiest System V1 79 Sudden Interruption

He opened the shop and went into the Athletics category.

"I knew it...!" Zhou Lei saw the dancing book in delight. It was similarly priced as the other books, $500.

Without hesitation, he bought it, not noticing the offer for three free items.

As soon as he got it, he absorbed it, making his dancing skill reach heights unattainable to humankind.

"So, dancing is now solved... what about singing?" Zhou Lei was worried.

He had a great voice now, but he didn't know if that was connected to his singing voice. Most definitely, it was separate.

Zhou Lei checked his upgradable stats and searched for a Singing skill stat.

There it was, amongst the others.

Singing Skill: 45 (Pretty Good)

"Eh...? I got pretty good singing skills, huh?" Zhou Lei was quite surprised by this discovery. He didn't expect himself to have such a high singing skill.

Of course, he had higher standards, given that his looks and dancing skills were both extremely good.

If he had upgrade points, he would've directly upgraded this stat to its maximum. However, he had none at the moment.

"Just how will I increase this one...?" Even though Zhou Lei thought long and hard, he could not think of any sure way to increase this skill, other than completing the quests he currently had.

However, these quests were very hard - he did not want to do any of them.

Seemingly able to read his thoughts, System gave him a quest.

Quest: Go to the arcade

Description: A fort.i.tuous encounter you will get. If you do not go, you will definitely regret.

Reward: 10 upgrade points, 1 lottery ticket

Note: This is a successive-type quest.

Reading the quest's details, Zhou Lei couldn't help but raise his eyebrow. This was... surprisingly easy!

The only mysterious aspect was the note at the very bottom of it. What was a "successive type" quest? Did it mean that after this, System would give him another quest?

'No matter, I want more quests anyway.'

He stood up, getting ready to head to the arcade.

Looking at his clothes, he felt that they did not match his face. However, he could not do anything about this as he did not have that much money on him. Half of the reward from the Piggy Crate had already been spent on a book, while the remaining $500 he intended to keep.

'Wait... dad has clothes, right? Maybe I can wear them!'

.....

Zhou Xiang was currently in the kitchen, cooking her husband's favorite meal. Although she appointed Zhou Lei to cook from then on, seeing her husband's tired and confused face made her want to cook for him.

Zhou Jiahao buried his head under his arms on the table. He was ashamed of himself for even thinking of what he thought about earlier.

Tsss! The sizzling of the oil made Zhou Jiahao feel hungry. However, it also made him feel more embarra.s.sed about his previous actions.

Eventually, Zhou Xiang finished cooking and walked towards the table, bringing the food with her.

It was Chicken Soup. It was normal, ordinary Chicken Soup. However, such a soup made Zhou Jiahao fall in love with her.

In the end, Zhou Jiahao could not keep it in anymore.

"Xiang, I... I am sorry," Zhou Jiahao honestly apologized.

"Hmm? What for?"

"Well, you see, it's like this..." Zhou Jiahao recalled his thought process from before, telling it towards his wife.

Meanwhile, hearing her husband recollecting what he was thinking about made Zhou Xiang change her expression a lot.

Inside, she felt incredibly ashamed as well, since that thought has indeed occupied her mind when she entered her son's room. However, she quickly dismissed it due to the illicit nature it had. Besides, she wouldn't ruin the relationships she had built just for appearance, right?

"Honey, there's nothing to apologize about," Zhou Xiang said as she put her hand on his shoulder.

Zhou Jiahao raised his head slightly, looking at his wife.

She was beautiful... well, not really.

With an average face, it was a wonder how she could marry Zhou Jiahao, someone with a stunning face... scratch that, he had an average face as well.

Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang looked at each other meaningfully.

Bang! The door to the computer room was opened with strength.

They both got startled, with Zhou Jiahao suddenly standing up.

His knees. .h.i.t the table, making the bowl of soup on top of it spill.

"Ouch!" As the hot soup was just served on the bowl, it was still quite hot, making Zhou Xiang utter.

In the end, their conversation ended on a disastrous note. The soup which Zhou Jiahao loved spilled all over his wife, who was then burned due to the heat of the soup.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lei walked out of the computer room.
