My Pick Up Artist System

A treasure chest had to be among the better prospects of things that could fall out of a woman's v.a.g.i.n.a…

That's why Ben was looking forward to opening it. Touching its cold slick metallic surface, he admired how the small light blue chest gleamed, its shininess making it look more valuable...

[Booty Chest(Consumable, Fine) x1 - Guaranteed to drop one object of the associated quality]

The system explained a chest like this would drop from every woman the first time Ben had s.e.x with her. The tier depended on the girl, but the system wouldn't give any information on how it evaluated that.

'So, Penelope was only fine quality… If someone asked me to rate her, I'd give her an 8.5, but it seems the system's standards are higher than mine… I'm curious how it appraises girls, but I doubt I'll learn that any time soon. The tier evaluation should be a hidden function…'

He remembered that the reboot only unlocked primary functions. Although he didn't know what those included yet, the word primary hinted at the existence of more advanced ones. 'I'm guessing there'll be a rating system later…yea, that'll definitely be one of the tropes…'

Despite having already seen rares and epics, Ben was still eager to open the chest. "Fine can still produce many great things. The lucky cloves were fine tier and they saved my life. There's also the positive that I won't have to worry about the large chance of getting uncommons or worse..." After he finished comforting himself because the system didn't judge the first girl he slept with as legendary...Ben pulled back the lid of the chest…

Like the mystery boxes, a light blue radiance filled the room…

A few seconds later, he was gazing down at a rectangular yellow paper with esoteric writing…

[Talisman of Opportunity(Consumable, Fine) x1 - Use to create a high chance of encountering one opportunity to increase stats. Lasts 24 hours. If used while a Stat Growth Multiplier is active, the opportunity will associate with the Multiplier's targeted stat]

'A good thing!' Ben's eyes lit up. This would be very helpful if he used a Stat Growth Multiplier, and even more so if the targeted stat wasn't a simple one to develop. He stored the talisman away and continued to the next thing—challenges.

First, he observed that he received another netori challenge.

[Special Challenge: Booty Burglar- Steal a woman from another male, ending their relationship. Target: Penelope]

[Reward: Mid Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Rare, Random) x1]

[Punishment: None]

He already had an active one for Lia, but since Lia wasn't answering his calls or texts, there wasn't anything he could do about it at the moment. Penelope, however, now she had potential…

The other thing Ben noticed was the lack of a new weekly challenge. The system explained that those were a perk of the Tutorial stage and would no longer exist. In their place, Ben would now receive monthly challenges, except they wouldn't be as v.i.r.g.i.n-friendly. She summarized the current challenge to show him what she meant.

[You have one month to seduce four women or you will shorten]

"…Shorten? That's not good, I'm already so short. It would be awful if I lost even more height." Ben frowned as he opened his challenges screen to see the exact description.

[Monthly Challenge: Four-Score and Two Inches Ago - Seduce four women within one month]

'Weird name…'

[Reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]

Ben smiled. 'Although the challenge is much harder, at least I have a way to continue earning stat points.'

[Remaining time: 30/30 days]

[Punishment: P.e.n.i.s shortened by 2 inches]

…

His smile evaporated once he understood what she meant by shorten…

When Ben realized the sinister nature of this punishment, he believed it was much worse than reducing his height…

In defiance to the oppression of the system, he shot up off the bed. "Not my little brother! Don't you dare threaten my family! I volunteer as tribute!"

…

Ben continued to yell but the punishment didn't change. She didn't care if his random weekend hunting archery could become comparable to a top-level Mongolian horseman after only 3 days of training…

She preferred fresh meat...and didn't mind ridiculous plot holes as long as people only noticed them after spending their money...

When Ben understood he couldn't change it, he sighed. Then he became determined to complete this challenge no matter what. He wasn't willing to take such a loss. He worked too hard to get to this point, getting a random lucky drop of a pill that increased p.e.n.i.s size…

It would be a shame if Ben wasted so much of his blood, sweat, and tip…

He was not at all interested in donating to the system's tip jar…

The last thing on the screen was the Novice Welcome challenge that almost killed him. He only managed to complete it at the last second and was now looking forward to seeing what reward he would get for such an arduous task.

[Congratulations! You've completed the Novice Welcome Challenge - Seduce a woman within one month or die]

[Reward: Unlocking of primary functions(Store authorizations, Flag System). Granting of store purchase authorization for Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier]

[Completion status: 1/1]

[Activating reward]

[System reboot initiated]

[System reboot completed]

[Reward active]

Ben read through the notifications he received when the system shut down for a day. When he reached the reward description, he grinned like a fool. 'This is great!'

He knew what Stat Growth Multipliers were capable of! These were items that would help him skyrocket in stat growth! If he was only 30% certain to complete the death challenge before, he was now at least 35% certain!

The problem with the multipliers before was that besides a few challenges, getting them depended on the luck of the mystery boxes. Now, it seemed he'd be able to buy them!

Ben hurried to open the store page. There, he discovered two new items.

Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Random): 2000 points

Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Choose Stat): 5000 points

Although the prices were high, Ben knew how powerful these items were. They were worth it. 'Looks like I can choose the stat but it'll cost more than double…'

Seeing this, he generated some initial plans, but first, there was one last thing to check. 'Before I make any decision, I should try to understand everything about how the system changed.' There was still another unlocked primary function that Ben hadn't explored—Flag System…

He had no idea what that referred to, but he was about to find out.
