Reincarnated as the Elder's son: My Infinite Shop Points System-Chapter 50: Six Star Rank
Chapter 50: Six Star Rank
Sitting upright on the bed, Jared couldn’t help but scan Lucy.
Anyone in his position would do the same thing.
Waking up from a coma, just to see a beautiful woman wearing a maid outfit has to be one of a male’s top fantasy scenarios.
Questions like, why the hell is she wearing a maid outfit? And did she get even more attractive? began to flood Jared’s mind.
Not a single word left his mouth, yet his gaze lingered on her.
Lucy, on the other hand, tried to act as if she couldn’t tell he was looking at her, sweating profusely while looking anywhere but where Jared was.
She was sexy, there was no denying that. Her blue eyes seemed more captivating, her hair silky and long like magical strings under the glowing moon. Words could barely describe how pretty she was.
"Brother, do you feel better now?" Ria asked, climbing onto the bed to calmly sit on his thighs with her chest facing him.
Kiara and Lucy didn’t even react; they were already used to Ria clinging to Jared every chance she got.
Sigh!
"I still have a splitting headache, but I should be fine. So, how long was I asleep for?" he asked.
"A day. The other workers are still working at the site."
"I see."
Once again, Jared caught a glimpse of Lucy’s maid outfit.
"Why did you make her wear that?" Those words spewed from his mouth.
"Hyaaa~ you think I did that? Oh brother, you have such little faith in me." Ria dramatically placed her hand over her mouth while making the most suspicious expression ever.
Arguing with her would get him nowhere; if she wanted to tell him, she would have already. Ria can be quite talkative when she wants to be.
Thus, he changed his focus to another person.
"Kiara, it seems these two are down for the day. Mind telling me why we have Lucy wearing a maid’s outfit?"
Kiara, her back resting on the wall, didn’t seem as excited and lively as the rest.
Of course, Jared knew why; he just chose to ignore it.
"Lucy’s usual clothes couldn’t fit her anymore, so Lady Ria had her wear this instead for the time being," she replied. "It’s still uncertain how she managed to add weight in one night."
[The god of loyalty reveals the character Lucy underwent an evolution.]
’Evolution? She evolved?’
[You are currently using the Lord of Information blessing.]
[Character profile:

Current mood: Shy and happy.]
His eyes widened.
[Rank: 6 stars.]
’The Lord of Information never gave me the ability to view people’s ranks. Wait, is this because her loyalty grew? No, wait, even more, when the hell did she attain the Six rank? Every single stat here looks so different.’
[The god of combat is amazed with the strength of the female.]
[The god of loyalty offers an explanation.]
[Explanation: With the blessing of the god of loyalty, the more understanding or bond you build with a certain person who has reached a Loyalty of 100, the more they grow. Lucy had already attained the Five star rank; after her bond crossed 100, she was blessed with an upgrade to Six rank.]
’Bond? Our bond increased after we had sex, and she got the six rank class?’
Jared suddenly jerked up from the bed and grabbed Lucy by the arm.
"Gehh~"
It was sudden, hence it was only natural that Lucy would feel a bit frightened.
Her heart raced; his face was so close to hers.
Ria, whom he had pushed off, lay on the bed halfway, a smug smile on her face, the kind of expression you’d make when you see your close friend finally make a move on that one girl.
"I have never been more proud of you," Jared went direct.
"I...I don’t un-"
"Do you know what this means, Lucy?!"
"N-no, not..."
"You are now a Six star rank. Do you understand? Haha, you see, a Six star!"
Ria and Kiara were both shocked to hear that.
The six star rank.
Not many people could boast of having this rank, as people were usually born with it from birth.
Those who had inherited the stars and made them theirs, the select few chosen by mana itself. It was a rank everyone yearned for.
If the Five star rank gave its user the ability to manipulate elements, the Six star gave the ability to manipulate mana itself.
Meaning, not only will you be far superior in terms of controlling every element, you also have the choice of having the rarest of abilities.
Most people who got the six star upon birth usually served in the royal army for the kingdom. Alas, the same can’t be said for those from the northern region.
Unlike the big kingdoms, where they had churches to check their ranks, the north didn’t have any of those; as such, most people could not tell their rank. Instead, they judged based on what they saw.
Forgetting that in order to understand your abilities, you need to know you have them first.
"I am a Six star?"
"For the most part, yeah." Jared leaned back on the bed. "I didn’t expect it to happen this early though. But if you already have the six star, that’s enough proof that anyone in the village can get the same thing."
"Wow, that’s impressive. Lucy really did get a Six star rank, eh...? That makes her the strongest in Sikone right now... Doesn’t it?" Ria hinted.
’That is true; by definition, she is already the strongest in most of the villages already. My whole reason for wanting her to be a Six rank in the first place was so we could ward off the invaders at our watering hole. Now that she is strong, she should be a match for them. Then there’s her-’
Jared took a quick glance at Kiara; the somewhat jealous look on her face was so obvious that it became awkward.
’Kiara. In truth, my reasons for not upgrading her are petty, but not unreasonable. Of everyone I have laid my eyes upon, she is the one with the most potential. I fear if I upgrade her, she will surpass the Six rank star easily. It would be a win, having two Six star ranks under my control, except Kiara isn’t fully under my control yet.’
[Loyalty- 85%]
’It might look high on paper, but I refuse to give my ability to anyone who isn’t fully devoted to me. Not until I am sure she has my best interest at heart. Don’t get me wrong, she most likely cares for this village very much; the same can’t be said about me. One kiss can’t change everything she felt in a snap.’
Jared now stood up from the bed.
"Kiara, I need you to do something for me."
"Yes, my lord."
"Towards the Watering hole, where the sun can’t meet and the water doesn’t reach, there is a cave there, a dungeon if you will. I want you to pick anyone from the village that you feel is strong enough and subdue the monsters there."
Kiara was a bit surprised, though she knew who he was talking about. Her confusion came from the fact he was asking her to do something like that.
"Lord Jared? The Cat people mean no harm, they just-"
"The cat people are growing every day. Did you forget? They took half of our water; even if they didn’t use force, they still didn’t ask. We could not beat them in a battle, so we let them be. Not anymore. As I said, subdue them; you don’t have to resort to killing."
Kiara lowered her head, "As you wish."
Suddenly -
"If that’s the case, then can I have Lucy come with me?"
"If that’s what you want," Jared replied almost instantly.
Lucy quickly stood to her feet. Helping Kiara out wasn’t a big deal for her; in fact, she was grateful for it.
To Jared, on the other hand, he expected one of two things to happen.
...
*Building site.
"Everyone, look! The young Lord is awake!"
Not even a second after Jared and his sister stepped foot at the site, many of the workers surrounded him, joy and excitement dancing on their faces.
Of course, Jared loved being praised by them; one thing just didn’t sit right.
’Why the hell do these people look like they underwent a massive glow-up? The hell is even happening around here?’ Jared gestured in his mind.
He wasn’t lying.
Every worker that surrounded him looked like they would kill the modeling industry if they were back in his former world.
It almost made him wish he used the character upgrade hack on himself.
But what caught his eyes even more was something else-
"Lord Jared, look, we finished the main building."
