Lying in the bed alone, Shawn stared up at the ceiling above him. His thoughts were going over everything that had happened today, trying to process it all in his mind.
First off, he got a system that could give daily intelligence, and to be honest, he never expected it to be so accurate to the point of finding money. It was amazing and gave him a lot of hope.
Not only that, but his mother also slept with him. It was unbelievable and unthinkable, but at the same time, it felt incredibly right as he couldn't get that incredible sex they shared earlier off his mind.
What shocked him the most was how aggressive and passionate his mother was. She was even the one who initiated their fuck session and drove it as well, like a dominant beast.
"God... My life changed so much in just a single day. And it's going to change even more the more I use this system, huh... hehe... hehehe..."
There was a wide smile on Shawn's face, and his excitement only continued to build.
"System, tell me how long it will take for me to get the next intelligence."
[ Your daily intelligence will be given at midnight every day.]
"Oh, I see! And what about the types of intelligence I can get?"
After asking, Shawn stared at the panel as his curiosity piqued.
Immediately, another message appeared.
[ Intelligence: Getting Riches and Bitches. ]
Upon reading those words, Shawn blinked blankly for a second in bewilderment. It didn't make sense to him. How did such a phrase come into the picture?
It didn't even connect to anything. He wasn't the type to focus on women too much and was a relatively normal young man with a girlfriend already, so getting rich was more his style.
But the second part? Getting bitches? He already had a girl that he loved dearly. And though he did have a rather insatiable sex with his mother, it wasn't to the point that he was trying to get other girls for himself.
Especially some bitches, as the word could imply that they were gold diggers or the type of girl who slept around with multiple men without a care in the world.
Such girls, he couldn't say he hated, but he wasn't very interested in either. The most he felt for them was sympathy, as they had lost sight of what was truly important and wasted their lives away chasing after temporary pleasures.
"System, how come you gave me something like that? Wasn't my system meant to help me live a better life? How could it possibly involve bitches when I've never cared for them at all? Could it be that there was a mistake made?"
[ No. There is no mistake. The intelligence is determined by analyzing your personality, mental state, memories, and current situation. ]
"Really? But there has to be a mistake, because I've never felt any interest in bitches. Not once. Why would it show up then?" Shawn's mind was muddled by confusion and denial.
The more he thought about it, the stranger his situation felt. How come the System was making such a weird claim, especially after it had performed so well with finding the hidden bag of cash?
[ The system does not make mistakes. The intelligence is determined by the most optimal means for the host to improve, develop, and succeed in the present and future. To ensure happiness through every possible means. ]
"Then explain what kind of intelligence getting bitches is supposed to give me, because I honestly do not get it at all." Shawn furrowed his eyebrows and sighed as he tried to wrap his head around what this strange intelligence could possibly be good for.
[ Getting bitches gives the host a chance to meet beautiful and unique women who can bring positive changes to their lives in numerous ways. They can become potential romantic partners who can offer not only love and support but financial benefits as well. ]
"Huh? Why would bitches have financial benefits?"
It seemed a little too much out of left field, making Shawn scratch his head in bewilderment.
Could it be that those women were super successful or something, to the point that they were swimming in wealth? But the way the System referred to them was so demeaning and unpleasant, as though they were nothing more than common sluts.
That thought caused something to click for Shawn.
"Wait, you mean... They aren't actually women who are gold diggers or sluts? Rather, they're just pretty ladies who would become my bitches and happen to be wealthy or successful?"
The idea was a strange one to process, but as soon as he said it, the young man realized just how stupid he was for not seeing it earlier.
[ Correct. ]
"Well, damn, I think I get it now. This means that I'd be getting lucky in love with both looks and money. Wouldn't that be considered too good to be true? I'm pretty much guaranteed a wonderful future as a successful man with a bunch of beauties!"
A grin suddenly spread across Shawn's lips, and his eyes sparkled with glee. It seemed that things weren't that bad, after all. And he wouldn't have to deal with the real bitches that other men would encounter.
Thinking about it made the young man laugh uncontrollably and pump his fist into the air. This was wonderful! Amazing! Stupendous! Everything that he could have hoped for in a system.
It would be like that cliche situation where a good-looking protagonist meets a pretty woman who has her own struggles but gets help from the man that will become her boyfriend/fiance/husband.
He wouldn't have to do anything aside from the usual stuff and get rich through the woman's connections. What a wonderful future it will be!
Of course, this was just the simple analysis of a single part of the system's intelligence, and thus far, only one word could really be said: Amazing!
"By the way, System, what do I need to do to get intelligence about more money? How will it be determined? Is it dependent on my financial situation right now or something?"
[ It is determined based on the level of the daily intelligence. Currently, you are on the level of Level 1 intelligence. It will give intelligence about money from $100 to $1,000. ]
Shawn felt stunned for a moment after hearing that. "So, the daily intelligence I got was actually the beginner's gift? Damn! But wait, how can I level it up?"
In response, the System soon replied.
[ By spending $10,000, the host can increase the daily intelligence of one day of the week to level 2. Which gives intelligence from $1,000 up to $10,000. Or the host can get intelligence about a woman whose monthly income is greater than $10,000 or more. ]
"What?! It costs me $10,000 for one day? Isn't that too expensive?" Shawn gasped, surprised by the shockingly large number. It was far beyond what he was able to pay with his current situation.
He wouldn't have been able to handle the burden if it weren't for the previous bag of money he got from the system, or in other words, the hidden cash. Otherwise, he would've needed to wait for many daily intels before having the money to level it up.
Even so, Shawn wasn't deterred from the fact that he had to spend such a huge amount of money. Especially considering that he would eventually obtain money in the future anyway.
"Alright, let's upgrade the daily intelligence of tomorrow! I don't care about bitches and stuff. Instead, I'd rather get daily intelligence about money so that I can quickly become rich. Upgrade the daily intelligence for Saturday to level 2!"
At his words, the System immediately obeyed, and soon, another screen showed up in front of him.
[ Daily Intelligence for Saturday has been upgraded to level 2. The cash in the host's bag has been used as payment. ]
Seeing this message, Shawn quickly lifted himself off from the bed and looked into the bag of hidden cash that he left in the corner of his room.
To his surprise, all of the money that he had gotten earlier had disappeared, leaving only an empty plastic bag.
"Wow! So it can be used like that, huh? That's kinda cool. Anyway... Time to get some rest, then~ I wonder what's in store for me tomorrow, hehe."
Laughing softly in anticipation, the young man laid himself back on his bed and closed his eyes in a blissful state.
