Chapter 29: 29 - Stats

    For the next few days I just followed my normal routine and watched my skills improve with practice.

    (Haircutting Lv 25 - 26), (Hiking Lv 13 - 14), (Bodybuilding Lv 18 - 19), (Teach Lv 19 - 20), (Negotiator Lv 5), (Sing Lv 24 - 25), (Guitar Lv 27 - 28), (Digital Illustration Lv 31), (Intermediate Mathematics Lv 29 - 30), (Intermediate Biology Lv 25 - 26) (Krav Maga Lv 10 - 13) (Music Editing Lv 4 - 6) (Programming Prowess Lv9 - 13), (Football Mastery Lv1 - 3), (Investigation Lv 3), (Cooking Lv 8 - 11)...

    With these changes in Skills, I was much more confident in several different areas.

    My skills in Teaching, Intermediate Math, Programming Skills, and Cooking crossed the ten mark, and these skills saw a small qualitative improvement.

    Even if some only went up a single point, going from level 9 to 10, 19 to 20, or 29 to 30 made a big difference, to the point that I found it much easier to do these things.

    It''s not that my progress in other things was negligible, but in these specific skills, the progress was much more pronounced.

    Not to mention, not only did those skills go up a level, but I''ve also gained some stat points.

    [+1 STR]

    [+1 DEX]

    [+1 CON]

    [+1 INT]

    [+1 AGL]

    I haven''t trained these things to the extreme, but it''s more like I''ve been accumulating these stats over the last few days and just yesterday while training I gained several points in one go.

    Most noticeable to me was my STR, which finally broke the 2-digit mark, making it my second skill after INT to have 10 or more points.

    [Strength (STR): 9 - 10].

    Just like my skills, when STR went from 9 points to 10 points, it was as if a small qualitative change had occurred.

    Instead of just getting 11% stronger, which is what should happen when you go from 9 to 10 points, I feel like I''ve gotten at least 30% stronger, which I think is because I went up a dozen points.

    When I looked at my Charisma stat, I was confused that I didn''t feel it when it reached 10 points. Y0ur favorite novels at novelhall.coma (CHA): 10 (9 + 1)]

    But when I saw that I only had 10 points because I had the Haircut Buff, it was understandable that I didn''t have that qualitative change.

    It made me wonder when I would get the missing point to get to 10.

    If I needed 10 points to be average for a normal person, then the difference between 9 points and 10 points of charisma is not just 10%, but probably just like STR, it should be around 30%.

    So with the extra point from the buff, I was probably still a little uglier than the average person, but it was pretty unnoticeable.

    With the new clothes I bought and my hair cut short, at least I wasn''t ugly anymore.

    I did 2 drawings a day, so even though I bought a set of clothes for $50, I still had a $350 profit for those two days, bringing the total money in my account to $910.

    I was already halfway to class 2 obesity, with only 8 kilos to lose to reach class 1 obesity, I just had to be patient and dedicated and by next weekend I''d be there.

    Even my arms were starting to show muscle as the large layer of fat I was wearing disappeared and the muscle I was developing underneath began to show.

    It wasn''t a big deal at first, but considering that this was my evolution with System, it was probably the result of a few months of training like a normal person.

    When I finally got really thin, I''d probably have enough muscle to look ripped with it.

    As I walked out on the balcony with my father, he looked at his Toyota Camry and then at me.

    "I guess I haven''t taught you how to drive yet, have I?" He asked, a little insecure and embarrassed.

    Thinking about it for a moment, I realized that he hadn''t really taught me how to drive, and considering that my old fucking father hadn''t taught me either in my previous world, I didn''t know how to drive in either world.

    "Not yet, why? Do you want to drink tonight and have me drive back?" I asked with a laugh.

    "Negative, you haven''t even had your first driving lesson and you''re already thinking about driving for us? You''re far from it, kid!" He replied, feigning a little anger, but then laughed and continued. "But I can teach you how to drive so you can get your license this year."

    Thinking that sounded interesting, I agreed. Having a driver''s license would be very useful, even more so now that I was earning my own money, I could also buy a car for myself to go to school by myself, be able to go to the stores in town without having to take the bus, the practicality was very great.

    "Count me in!" I replied, smiling as I thanked him.

    After that, we spent a few more minutes chatting outside the house, just talking about random things while Olivia and my mom finished getting ready.

    My mom finished tucking Ethan in shortly after we left, and he stayed with us while he played with a toy car he liked.

    Remembering this collection of cars, Ethan seemed to like customized cars, especially Japanese cars, so when I got my license and had enough money, it would be nice to buy him a car he liked to drive around town.

    After another 20 minutes, Olivia and my mom finished getting ready and we got in the car to go to the bar.

    Olivia was very excited because it was her first time going to a bar, with Lauren''s helicopter at home it was impossible for her to go to a place like that, so she was all dressed up.

    Looking at my parents together, you could see that they were wearing clothes in the style of the clothes they were wearing when they went to the bar, which was 90''s rock style clothes.

    Considering that rock style hasn''t changed much since then, it was funny to see that their clothes and mine were more similar than I had imagined.

    The bar was a few minutes away from my house. When we arrived, you could see that the place was quite crowded, but strangely, instead of having a happy atmosphere, people were a bit stressed about something that was going on inside.
