The reality of the entire situation (as absurd as it is) begins to seep in. If John manages to complete the Simp Quest by winning the affections of the Target Simp and turning it into his Conquest, he will not only be rewarded with actual money, but he will also gain target-specific abilities as well.
It's really incredible.
Still in a daze, John looked at the woman before him, whom he now knew was Leila Smith. A moment later, a bunch of words and figures began to appear above Leila's head.
Leila Smith: Attraction Factor - 1
Leila Smith: Attraction Factor - 1
Surprised, John checks the panel containing Leila's statistics.
Sure enough, his Attraction Factor is now listed as -52, not -50.
In other words, he was even less interested in her now compared to just a moment ago. Heck, he was pretty sure that the Negative Attraction Factor meant he was fed up with it, not interested in it. But what about Attraction Factor 0? Does that mean the girl's feelings towards him are neutral?.
Leila's cynical tone resuscitated her from the reverie. "What do you see, you're creeping?" he said while looking at John with disdain. "And I can't believe you asked for my number. You know what you should do? You have to look at yourself in the mirror. Maybe then you'll realize that you're way ahead of yourself. " Leila grunts. "People like you ask for my number? You must be kidding me ".
Really Leila did not care about this poorly dressed young man with unkempt hair. His facial features were not bad, but he was too skinny. He looked like one of those people who spent too much time on the internet looking at chicks.
The way Leila saw it, the man didn't even have 200 dollars left. Yet here he was, offering to pay for his drink. Really loser.
And Leila herself...
In terms of beauty, she was ranked third in the entire Lakeside Art Institute. In fact, if he were to queue up all the men he had tried to score a date with recently, the queue would probably extend from the university gate all the way to the back road.
So no. Leila did not care two shouts about this slovenly and penniless man. Not when the richest and most handsome men in the university are among those trying to seduce him.
"Oh, come on" said John, smiling confidently. "All I ask for is your number. It's not like you're going to lose anything by giving me your number, is it? " John smiled brightly. "How about this? Give me your number, and I'll cover all your expenses for today. How about that? "
As the words came out of John's mouth, a whisper broke out among a group of students who were also inside the convenience store.
"Hey... Isn't that the guy who waits outside the girls' dorm every morning to bring Susan Lane breakfast? And now he's asking for Leila's number? Very shameless! "
"Damn it! You're correct. The same guy. But what the hell? Has he gone mad? He offered to cover Leila's expenses all day? That's insane! "
"Yes! I mean, Leila Smith of all people! The woman is a famous gold digger in her lost way ".
"He's a man-stringing expert and toying with their feelings. And he usually targets rich men. Tsk, tsk-s. Well, she and Susan Lane are on two different levels, I have to say. If this poor fellow couldn't even bag Susan Lane, he wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Leila Smith. He's fucked up ".
"Cover up my expenses all day?" Leila Smith let out a mocking laugh. "Are you sure about that?"
"Of course", John replied calmly.
"Okay, then". Leila glanced around the convenience store, a grin pulling her lips. "I would like to treat every student in this shop to snacks and drinks. And you "-Leila accused John-" of paying him ".
Shrugging his shoulders, John launched an e-wallet app on his phone and accessed the payment page. This time, the QR scanner works.
Smiling, John turned his head towards the other students in the shop. "By all means, guys. Get whatever you want. Don't be shy! "
By the time John finished the payment, the skeptical expressions on the students' faces had turned into stunned expressions.
Thousand bucks. John Carlson had just bought a thousand-dollar snack and drink for each student at the convenience store just because Leila Smith challenged him to do it.
If this was done by one of those super rich students, they would not be surprised.
But this is John Carlson, for Pete's sake! The biggest loser at Lakeside University is otherwise known as the "King of Simps!"
And now he actually wasted a thousand dollars just to be exhibited in front of Leila Smith? So she can get Leila's number? Yep. That guy's totally crazy.
More importantly, she failed to understand the key point: even if she threw away that much money, Leila would probably still reject it!
Leila herself was a little surprised by John's willingness to take on the challenge. Not to mention the fact that he casually spent a thousand dollars on people he didn't even know!
But how did this happen? John Carlson doesn't look like the kind of guy with that kind of money.
John smiled at her confidently. "Can I have your number now?"
John's words made Leila wake up from her stupor, and she laughed. "Oh, this is far from over. The day has just begun ". He's marching towards the door. "Come with me!"
Thirty minutes later, John and Leila arrive at Millennium Square, a large commercial district filled with high-end shops.
"Let's go" Leila said. "There's a Gucci bag I've been wanting to get lately". Leila smiled sweetly at him. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind buying it for me, would you?"
Not a person who could resist the chance to earn money, John returned his smile. "Of course not".
The more Simp Credits he spent, the more money he would earn after he completed the Simp Quest.
However, John does not expect to meet Susan in the Gucci store.
Susan was posing in front of a mirror with the latest Gucci handbag in her hand when John and Leila walked in. "Hey, Cody" Susan said as she circled in front of the mirror. "This hand looks good on me, doesn't it?"
"Yes, this looks good. But my father has limited the amount of allowance he gives me from now on. He thought I was too wasteful in spending my money, so he wouldn't give me more than 15 thousand dollars every month ". Wrinkles formed on Cody's face before vanishing. "Why don't we check some other place? Ah, don't worry. I'll buy you a bag next time. I promise ".
Naw. There's no way Cody would buy that bag for him.
Ejek Cody in heart. He is not a fool who is willing to live a frugal lifestyle just to buy an iPhone for a girl.
He would rather spend the money he had to make himself look good.
By dressing well, he could give the impression of being a rich man. When that happened, he might not even need to spend a single cent to have women throw themselves at him. In some cases, the women were even willing to spend their money just to attract her attention.
"But... I really like this bag! " Susan whining.
A dark look formed on Cody's face. "I really hope you're not one of those materialistic types, Susan" she said. "I want my boyfriend to like me for who I am, not for my money. Do you understand? "
Susan pouting. "Fines. I don't want the bag ". Then, he looked at Cody sharply. "And I'm not a materialistic woman".
Reluctantly, Susan removed the handbag from her shoulder and placed it back onto her shelf.
That's when John and Susan met.
Susan's jaw is open. However, seconds later, he clenched his jaw in anger.
"Are you following me, John?" He growls. "God, I honestly haven't met a man like you in my life! Are you not ashamed? How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not interested in you! So go and leave me alone! Ughhhh! You really disgust me! "
Anger rises within John. Followed him? "Excuse me?" his inner. "Who does he think he is?"
For three years, John had given his heart to Susan.
And for three years, Susan treated him like a dog.
What gave him the right to trample all his dignity? Just because he knew he had feelings for her?
Still, it was all over, and John did not want to waste any more time thinking about it.
"I didn't follow you" John said in a harsh tone. "I'm here with Leila to buy her a new handbag". John glared at her. "Everything is over between us, so you no longer have a say in what I do!" From now on, John doesn't want to deal with Susan Lane. He had burned the bridge as he threw it away as if he was nothing.
A loud ringing sound rang out in his head.
"Simp Target detected! Activate Simp Quest! "
Name: Susan Lane
Age: 21
Height: 5.2 feet
Weight: 96 pounds
Appearance: 7.8
Attraction Factor: -10
Simp Connection was founded with Susan Lane! Complete the Simp Quest by raising the Simp Target Attraction Factor to 95 and so on.
Upon completion of the Simp Quest, the Host will be granted Status Upgrades. As such, Host will be rewarded with: 1) 10% of the total Simp Credits he has spent on Target Simp; 2) 20 Points Upgrade, 20, each of which can be used to enhance the attributes of the Host (Vitality, Spirit, Strength, Agility, Intuition, Talent, etc.);
Conquest-specific skills to give to the Host: None.
John did not expect the System to form a Simp Connection between him and Susan.
What does that mean? Deep down she still had feelings left for Susan?
"Damn", inner. "Am I a masochist or something? Hasn't he hurt me enough? "
Then again, the reward for turning Susan into her Conquest seemed to be much higher. He would be rewarded with 20 Enhancement Points once he turned Susan into his Conquest, which was four times more than the amount of Enhancement Points he would earn by doing the same to Leila.
This only means one thing: that Susan Lane has a special place in John Carlson's heart.
