2 Ch 2 : Upgrade System Function

As Rei agreed to the opening of the Newbie Gift Pack, a few new prompts began to appear on his mind.

[ Newbie Gift pack ]

[ Strengthening pill x1]

[ Yukihira Soma Cooking skill ]

[ 150 million belis]

The three items from the newbie gift pack were neither good nor bad. However, they were perfectly what Rei needed right now.

He didn't waste any more time as he quickly engulfed the strengthening pill and activated the Cooking skill.

Now, Rei's status looked like this.

[ Name: Rei ]

[ Strength: Pretty Weak ]

[ Special Skill: Tonguemaster (Lv.1), Yukihira Soma Cooking skill (Lv. Max)]

Rei was satisfied with those changes in his status, but then something caught his mind.

' By the way, just how strong is that "pretty weak" and can you tell me what is the usefulness of my system?'

[ DING!!! Based on the Host's memories, the "weak" here should be almost equal to a pirate with two or three million bounties. And as for the function of the system, it is the upgrade system, so obviously the function is correlated to the Host upgrading the things near the Host.]

" ..... "

[ Jokes aside, this system was created by using the Host's wish of licking the woman in One Piece world. But just like its name, the main function of the system is to upgrade, and the upgrade is not limited to the Host, but also things around the Host.]

[ Of course, to do the upgrade, the Host needed to have upgrade points, and the Host could get the points by completing the mission assigned by the system.]

[ And one more thing, the system would also sometimes issue a special mission. This mission could be either accepted or rejected with no penalties. But please bear in mind, the reward of the mission was usually very good that it would be a waste if the Host decided to reject the mission.]

[ DING!!! A mission has been issued.]

[ Lick a woman for the first time.]

[ Reward: 100x Critical reward for the upgrade points.]

[ Please take your time and use this chance wisely because this will only be one for a lifetime.]

" ??? "

The heck? Rei was confused..

Was his system the perverted system or the Upgrade system, he thought?

After that words, no matter how many times Rei tried to contact his system, his system didn't respond at all. As if saying that everything after this was not her matter.

And after a few minutes of trying, Rei eventually gave up.

Since the system didn't want to talk, then he could only place his hope on himself.

Nonetheless, it was a lie if Rei wasn't excited.

Yup, his system might be a joke system, but this system was a lot better than a trolling system. Furthermore, this system was like one that was perfectly tailored for him.

That day, Rei returned to Barathie full of smiles that even made Sanji and the other chef feel creeped out.

. . . . . . . .

- One month later -

Inside the Barathie, during the break time, the chefs were surrounding something as if they were looking at something interesting.

On the eyed of the storms, two chefs, Sanji and a guy with black hair, were currently having a cooking showdown.

While Sanji was having difficulties handling his dishes, the guy with black hair on the other side looked very calm.

The guy possessed medium-length black hair, which can be considered quite neat and messy at the same time. He possesses sharp green eyes which fall under his thick eyebrows. In normal times, his appearance looked a bit lazy, but for some reason, any time he touched the knife, the air surrounding him began to change.

It was as if he was possessed by some other beings.

As he moved his hand like a demon, the dishes were quickly assembled, and now all that's left was for him to plate the dish.

A few quick seconds and a fully done dish appeared on the table.

" It wasn't much!"

" Damn.. will Rei eventually defeat Sanji??"

" I can't believe my eyes. This guy, how could he have this much growth just in one month?"

" Devil, he is certainly possessed by the devil..."

Among the chef here, Rei's sudden rise had become a very hot topic.

It all started a month ago, when Rei challenged a chef apprentice to a cooking battle, and now here he was, defeating Sanji in a head-on cooking battle.

All the chef couldn't believe their eyes, especially Sanji, who had just been defeated by Rei.

As for the taste test, there's no need to do it anymore. The chefs here saw Zeff nod at Rei's dish, and everyone had already seen that Zeff had already recognized Rei's dish.

" Damn.."

In this place, only Sanji felt miserable. The little kid that he didn't even pay attention to before now had surpassed him, and it was a lie if he didn't feel miserable at all.

Nonetheless, Sanji still congratulated Rei before he left the kitchen with the excuse of wanting to smoke.

Now Rei was left in the kitchen with the chefs congratulating him. But then, a voice that had disappeared for almost a month suddenly appeared again.

[Host, I knew I said that you should take your time carefully, but aren't you a bit too slow? It has been a month, and there is still no progress whatsoever?]

Still, hearing the system complaints, Rei didn't feel annoyed at all as he just smiled mysteriously.

'Don't worry, the target will come soon?'

[ ??? ]

And along with that, a huge noise came from upstairs as somebody was launched toward the Barathie.
