<h4>Chapter 10: Learning New Skills</h4>
Ss finished his food and went to his room to take his bath, in preparation to learn the new skills.
....
In his room
"System, initiate the skill transfer," Ss said as hey on his bed.
[Skill Transfer Initiated.]
Ss was at a loss when he saw the system message. He remembered the system saying that he will fall unconscious during the skill learning process, but he feels nothing and is very much awake.
''Did it make a mista-,'' Ss said to himself but stopped midway, as a very sharp piercing pain coursed through his head, making him open his eyes wide.
''Arrrghhh!... F*ck!... it said fall unconscious not experience this type of pain!,'' Ss screams internally. He felt a sharp piercing pain in his head like a thousand knives, and daggers stabbing and cutting through his brain.
The pain continued to increase and Ss had to bite down on his duvet so that he wouldn''t scream out, as he didn''t want to cause a scene.
Ss was unable tost another second as he passed out from the immense searing pain.
...
[Sill Transfer Completed.]
...
An unknown amount of time passed before Ss finally woke up. He opened his eyes and tried to get up from the bed, but he was feeling too disoriented and tired to do so.
He was finally able to get himself together after a few seconds. He pushed himself out of bed and slowly walked towards the bathroom to take his bath.
His body and bed were drenched in his sweat when he woke up and it was already starting to give off an odor, something he doesn''t like.
After taking his bath, he brushed his teeth and came out of the bathroom, took out the bedspread and duvet that were soaking wet from his sweat.
After he was done with that, he decided to check his progress and see if hepleted the mission.
"Status screen."

''Yes!... It worked... and It also increased my stats. My Intelligence and Charisma went up... Not bad," Ss said to himself in satisfaction when he saw he was able toplete the mission, and the increase in some of his stats.
''Now, I just have to meet the system''s level up requirement so that I can increase its level,'' He thought to himself.
"I guess it''s time for another round of shopping..... spending...," He said and walked to his closet to get himself some clothes.
When Ss got to the closet, he saw that the clothes that he asked thedy at the clothing store to deliver for him had already been delivered, and had been arranged neatly.
"Kim....," He said with a smile. He randomly selected some clothes that he thinks looks good on him and wore them. After wearing his clothes, he picked up his phone and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw Kim setting up the dining table for breakfast.
"Good morning," He greeted and took his seat.
"Good morning, Ss. You slept very early yesterday, I came to call for dinner but you were deep asleep," Kim said as she continued what she was doing.
"Yeah... I was burned outpletely yesterday."
"I thought as much...," Kim said as she finished setting up the table, and went to call Alex toe down for breakfast.
After Alex came down, the three of them sat down and started eating.
"Alex.... Do you want to go shopping with me? I''ll buy you anything you want," Ss asked Alex as he ate his food.
"Mm-hmm," Alex nodded and continued eating his food.
"Okay. We will go after you finish eating, okay?."
"Mm-hmm."
Kim, who was seated across from them, was surprised to hear what Ss said. She understood the family''s condition more than Alex and she knows how hard things are for them, so she found it hard to understand what Ss is saying.
No, it''s not that she does not understand but she doesn''t know how and where Ss got the confidence to say what he just said. She couldn''t help but be suspicious.
''Where did he get the money from? Did he get himself involved in any shady stuff or did he win a lottery ticket? No... it must be because he won a lottery ticket. But how much did he win? Or is it rted to the message he said he was expecting?''
Kim quickly dismissed the thoughts of Ss doing shady things and attributed the source of the money to him winning a lottery ticket.
Though she and Ss did not have much interactions, just like Alex, she understands his character as he was properly raised up by his father. Even though the current behavior of his father is not what one would expect of a father, he was the best one could ask for during his good days.
Kim had questions but she didn''t want to ask them as it might make Ss feel like she''s intruding on his privacy, and this might ruin the little progress they''ve made.
While Kim was burning her brain cells over his new behavior, Ss was busy eating his food.
...
Few minutester, Ss and Alex were done eating their food and were ready to leave.
Before leaving, Ss asked him if there''s anything he would like him to get her but she said she doesn''t want anything.
Ss took Alex and left after that. When they got outside, an Uber was already waiting.
Ss called for it while they were still eating as he wanted it to take him to the condo so that he can pick up his car.
Ss and Alex got into the car, and the driver drove off after Ss gave him the address.
...
In the condo''s garage, Ss opened the door of the Corvette and got in with Alex, before starting the car and driving off to the biggest mall in Oand city.
