World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 91: Became More Handsome
Chapter 91: Became More Handsome
After almost half an hour, James walked out, feeling refreshed and with a peculiar look on his face.
"Did all that come from my body?" He asked himself, trying his best not to look back at the bathroom.
He couldn’t believe that the black, sticky substance with a foul smell that has enveloped his room, came from him.
"What the hell? Is that always going to happen every time i increase my Charisma?" He thought to himself.
"I hope not."
Buck naked, he walked to the wardrobe, opened it and took out some fresh clothes and quickly put them on.
The clothes he was wearing previously has been ruined by the foul smell of the black, sticky substance. And he has no idea if the smell will come off even with washing.
James remembered that he has read something like this in web novels before, and they call it body cleansing.
According to what he read, it usually only happen once but James was aware that fiction is different from reality.
"I should get out of here and allow the room to air out," he said, as he left his master suite.
He was no longer able to stand the smell and he had to run out of the dream. He felt like he might lose consciousness if he stays too long.
He made his way to the living area of the Vila and he saw Patty walking to the kitchen, as it was almost time for lunch.
Patty noticed James from the corner of her vision and she turned to look at him, but she was slightly stunned by what she saw.
"James?..." Patty called out, as if to confirm something.
"Patty," James replied with the usual smile on his face.
He noticed that Patty was looking at him strangely and he touched his face to make sure that nothing was wrong.
Due to the bathroom being the epicentre of the foul smell, James was unable look at his reflection in the wall mirror in the bathroom, to check for any changes.
"Is there something wrong with my face," he asked curiously.
"N-No... It’s just that you kind of look different in a way. You look more handsome," Patty replied.
"Ohhh, yeah? Thanks." He smiled in appreciation.
"Yeah. If I didn’t know better, I would had said that you applied make up," she said, with a teasing smile.
James smiled and shook his head, at Patty’s tease. But he was happy because Patty has just confirmed what he wanted — that the increase in his stats does actually cause some changes to his physical appearance. Especially for his physical stats like Charisma.
"Are you going out?" Patty asked curiously, when she noticed that James was dressed in a different set of clothes from what he was wearing previously.
"No. Not at all. Was bored in my room, so decided to come out," James replied, as he walked to a couch.
"Ok.. I’m going to make lunch then," Patty said, and walked into the kitchen.
"Leslie! Are you going to come help me out," she called out to Leslie, who was lost in what she was doing and without an idea of what was happening around her.
She was busy giggling, while typing away on her phone, but her mom’s voice snapped her back to reality.
"I’m coming, mom," she said, as she quickly got up from the couch.
She was about to rush to the kitchen to help her mom but paused immediately, caught off guard by the handsome fellow seated on a couch beside her.
"James?..." She called out to him, with a mix of confusion and slight disbelief in her voice.
"Les," James replied with a smile.
"The fuck?! What the hell happened to you?!" She shot a barrage of questions at him.
James couldn’t help but look at Leslie strangely. He knew that she was curious as to the change in his appearance. But why does he have this feeling that she has just wrapped herself up in a misunderstanding.
"Nothing happened to me. What do you mean by what happened to me?" He asked curiously.
Leslie looked at James strangely when she heard his response.
"Nothing happened to you. Then, why did you put on make-up? Or are trying to come out of the closet?" She asked, with a pondering expression.
She quickly turned and started walking to the kitchen, with a mischievous and victorious smile on her face. She finally gained a point after so long.
’But how did be become even more handsome?’ She thought to herself.
James immediately flipped Leslie a middle finger when he heard what she said. It was too late before he realised that she was teasing him, as she had already done the perfect set up with her initial reaction, and he fell for it.
Now alone in the living area, James turned his attention to what he wanted to do before he was forced to rush into the bathroom.
He channeled his concentration into his mind, trying to perform any mental activity that might give him an idea to any changes tag was brought by the increase in his Intelligence stat.
Focusing his attention, James noticed something. He noticed that he was starting to remember and kind of vaguely understand some of the lectures that had previously left him stumped.
"Not bad. The result may not be that that noticeable but with continuous increase in the Intelligence stat, I might just become modern day Albert Einstein," James smiled to himself.
He couldn’t help but think of how much stronger he could become by just increasing his stats. One day, who knows, he might just become able to fly.
Though, this was just theoretical and the off chance of it happening was very impossible, but just the thought alone was enough to make him smile and daydream.
He quickly shook his head, clearing his delusional thoughts. He was curious to see the changes to his Info Screen, and he immediately called it up.

"Nice. Not bad," he smiled to himself when he saw that he saw the system points he now has.
"I have 3,000 system points. Need 7,000 more to unlock the system store and the goodies hidden behind it will be mine," he said, with a wide smile.
James was very eager to unlock the system store. If it wasn’t for the fact that the money he has in his account won’t cover one percent of the remaining system points needed, he would had spent it immediately.
"I wonder when I will get another mission. And I hope it has even richer rewards than this. I don’t mind the difficulty," he muttered to himself.
"James, lunch is ready."
He immediately stood up when he heard taht lunch was ready, but he paused the next moment, as an heaven sent system notification popped up.
