One week passed.


    Christian could confidently say that the past week had been filled with happenings.


    While the first thing on his mind at the moment was, of course, his rtionship with Eva.


    In truth, nothing significantly progressive could be said to have happened between them. But perhaps he could say he had taken a step forward?


    Although they had only exchanged a few messages over the phone, the more important thing was that he had actually met her once. This meeting wasn''t like thest one, which had been purely coincidental. It happened while they were chatting, though, to be fair, they didn''t chat much since it seemed like neither of them was particrly fond of using phones or social media formunication.


    But due to their shared disinterest in phonemunication, they actually ended up meeting in person. Or so, Christian thought. Readtest chapters at m_v-l''e|-NovelBin


    He had just casually suggested that they could meet up and grab a meal or something after all, but to his surprise, she immediately agreed. It had been a simple suggestion on his part, yet her quick eptance made it feel like a more significant progress than he had originally expected.


    While their meeting also couldn''t be considered anything grand, as it was really just a meal at a prestigious restaurant, but this small yet deliberate encounter felt like a meaningful step forward. The most significant development, however, was that he sensed her previously vague attitude had be much clearer.


    Of course, it was just an intuitive feeling, and nothing is certain, but even so, it was better than nothing.


    Through this date, if it could even be considered one, Christian had confirmed that he truly should have a chance with her. He felt he was on the right path, and that was the most important thing.


    In this context, Christian seriously considered whether he should confide in his sister this time. Of course, he didn''t intendto lie and im he had a girlfriend or anything of the sort; he wouldsimply ask for her opinion and see if she had any advice for him. After all, he felt this was an important moment for his rtionship with Eva.


    In the end, he decided to wait a little longer and see how things unfolded. If he felt that there were really no real problems and that he truly had a chance with Eva, he would eventually tell her.


    Then, moving on from his thoughts of Eva to his now busy older sister, Christian initially thought that she still hadn''t found anything to upy her time. However, he was proved wrong, as soon as he finished school (his exams, to be specific) she seemed to dive into various activities. Whether those activities were fruitful was another story, of course.


    His sister had started to work out a little at home for some time now, but it was nothing too grand, just watching a few videos online and exercising whenever she had some free time. This time, however, she actually went to a ce to practice yoga, in addition to her small workouts at home.


    Then she even subscribed to an online cooking ss, with the reason that since he had started eating a lottely, she wanted to improve her skills in the kitchen and make better meals. As not only could she learn to cook more delicious dishes, but she could also research ways to prepare healthier options for him then.


    However, with his system, he had long since discovered that he didn''t really need to worry about the healthy side.


    Actually, up to this point, there were no problems, but the next thing she did was something he didn''t quite understand: she decided to studyw, and the first thing she did was buy numerous physical books, which he thought were practically obsolete in today''s digital age.


    If she had started studyingw because she was considering continuing her education and going to university, Christian wouldn''t have minded at all. However, the reason behind her new-found interest was that after discovering his trading activities were generating a significant amount of money, she felt he would need assistance with various tax and legal procedures.


    Going forward, these procedures would likely be even moreplex, and they didn''t want to risk being cheated by someone or ending up in an unfavorable situation just because they were uninformed.


    Christian, of course, wasn''t entirely convinced by her reasoning. For now, they could simply consult with specialists in the field, like awyer or someone else. And if things ever became tooplicated, he could always just assign one of his Idle Practicing slots to studyingw and be done with it, after all.


    After what his sister said, Christian even considered whether he should stop waiting and start studyingw right away. However, for various reasons, like not having enough time to dedicate to it, and not wanting to take over something his sister had already begun, he ultimately decided against it. After all, he couldn''t easily find something else for her to do for the time being.


    With all these thingsbined, and seeing how everything his sister was currently doing seemed to revolve around him, Christian felt ufortable. He wanted her to have more freedom to pursue her own interests, rather than bing like his personal assistant in this way. It wasn''t what he wanted for her, nor did he like the idea of her feeling tied down by his affairs.


    Christian wanted to repay his sister more properly but didn''t know what he could actually do. As of now, aside from her workouts, like yoga and other exercises she did inside the house as a hobby, she wasn''t pursuing anything else for herself, after all.


    Ultimately, Christian decided to leave this subject for the future, as his hands were already full with the creation of the AI. Which over the past week, while it had seen some progress, the AI was still far fromplete and would take more time to finish.


    As for his time with Eva? Christian considered it as some break time, which, even then, wasn''t taking that much time, as he had only met her once for a short while and spent very little time chatting on the phone.


    Aside from these matters, there were his high school results, which had alreadye out. He received a score of B, which was quite good considering he hadn''t studied much and was barely above average in his previous assessments. Overall, he was quite satisfied with the oue.


    But his sister was more than just satisfied; she was overjoyed, her smile and happiness lighting up the room when the results came out. The hugs he received that day were countless, and had he not insisted they could celebrate again after graduation, he would have likely spent the day doing nothing, which he deemed uneptable, especially with the challenges thaty ahead.


    Even then, he still spent some time with his sister,as he had worked hard—studying his high school subjects through his Idle System for this very reason, to create moments like this for her.


    It was also impossible for him not to feel happy; he was genuinely quite content with the result. It''s just that he believed taking a whole day to do nothing was no longer appropriate.


    Thenesthe final achievement from the previous days: obtaining his driving license, which, thankfully, went smoothly.


    Having finished recalling all the events from the past week, Christian opened his Idle Practicing slots, knowingthat theimportant moment had finally arrived.


    [First Slot - AI Programming- 23:30:10/24:00:00]


    [Second Slot - Program Hacking- 23:30:10/24:00:00]


    [ThirdSlot - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu- 23:30:10/24:00:00]


    Looking at his current slots and considering the length of time he had allowed them to umte, actually the longest he had ever waited, Christian while filled with hope, was actually also a little nervous.He couldn''t be sure if he would receive a fourth slot when he leveled up this time, after all.


    So, he had let his system umte this much, even though lessthan halfwould have been enough to nudge him to the next level, solely for the reason of obtaining that elusive fourth slot. Which, while he knew it was probably unrted, he still hoped it could make a difference.


    So, now taking a couple of moments to calm himself down, he finally willed his system to absorb all three umted slots.


    [Youhavereceived 650Experience]


    [Youhavereceived 1460Experience]


    [Youhavereceived 330Experience]


    [Your Level has increased]


    [You have received2unassigned points]


    [The Idle practicing slots have became 4]


    [The skill IntermediateAI Creationhad be Lv.1(45%)]


    [The skill AdvancedProgram Hackinghad be Lv.2(46%)]


    [The skill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsuhad be Lv.6(90%)]


    After taking a moment to digest the umted gains, Christian finally opened his eyes and looked at the system messages.


    Seeing that he had actually gained another Idle slot, Christian first sighed in relief and then smiled. He couldn''t be happier; with four Idle Practicing slots, it meant all his ns could be elerated, and his development would be faster from here on out.
