YM778.TV Chapter 98: System Reward
[You have received one technology upgrade card.]
After reading the two prompts that appeared in front of him, Jaden could not help but blink his eyes continuously. At the same time, he could not help but wonder what a technology upgrade card was.
This time, he was anticipating that perhaps there was something that was going to be given to him, that was going to directly enable him to get better abilities. For example, it would have been better if he had received something that would enable him to be able to get stronger, so that he could exhibit the skills that he possessed.
But it seemed that the system had plans of its own. Jaden looked at Scarlet who was currently still unconscious. Currently, her head was on his shoulder, as he had to support her, to make sure that she did knock her head on the dashboard of the car.
Even though she was currently wearing a seat belt, Jaden thought that it was not enough. He could not help but want this lady to fall into trouble again, so that he could try out another mission, and see if the system was going to grant him a good reward that he wanted.
But when he thought much about it, he decided against it. After all, it was better for everything to naturally happen. It was better for him not to hope that trouble would come. Otherwise, if Scarlet really got into trouble that involved hot weapons, he would definitely be in great trouble himself.
Jaden was thinking about the card. Ever since he received the reward, he had not yet received the card itself. Where the heck was it? And how was he supposed to get it?
Just as he thought about the card, a light suddenly appeared on the dashboard of the Ferrari. Then in the next moment, as the light disappeared, Jaden saw that there was a golden card that was lying on the dashboard.
Jaden could swear that that card was not there. After all, despite the fact that he was not the one who had been driving the car when they were coming over to the club, still, he had observed the car quite well.
Could it be that the system had made this item appear together with the light? After all, it was impossible for the light to suddenly erupt on the dashboard just like that, right?
Curiously, not caring about if the traffic lights had gone green, Jaden stretched his hand and picked up the card. He could feel that it was extremely smooth, and it seemed that the craftsmanship of the card was extremely magnificent.
He looked at it, and it was completely plain. There was nothing written on it, apart from the card being gold in color. Additionally, it was the size of a credit card.
Jaden scrutinized the card for a while, wondering how he was supposed to use it. It was at this point that another prompt appeared in front of him.
[The host can utilize the technology upgrade card by simply placing it on the item that the host wish it to be upgraded. Of course, the host\'s consent is required for the item to be upgraded.]
Even though the system\'s explanation was helpful, it definitely was not enough to enable Jaden to understand the abilities of the card. Perhaps the system knowing what Jaden was thinking, another prompt appeared in front of him.
[This upgrade card can be utilized on any item within this world to enhance it by a single level. The technological level of the item would be improved by at least 50 years, and a maximum of 100 years, ahead of the current technology.]
Jaden was completely stunned after hearing what the system had said. The card was that overpowered? Upgrading something by at least 50 years was something that could be considered as overpowered.
For example, the Ferrari f8 spider that he was currently driving, if it was upgraded by at least 50 years, could it be that the Ferrari would gain the ability to fly? He was not sure about it, but that was just contemplation.
Jaden immediately began thinking about any item that he possessed that required a boost. But no matter how much he thought about it, he realized that there was nothing that he could upgrade for the time being.
Of course, he could even go ahead and upgrade the clothes that he was currently wearing. But that was outright stupid. After all, why would he upgrade the clothes just like that? It was better for him to look for a better item to upgrade.
Of course, the item that he was going to upgrade had to be something that was going to help him gain even more rewards from the system by completing the missions successfully. That implied that it had to be something that would enable him to get stronger, or give him a special or unique ability.
Honk! Honk! Honk!
Suddenly, Jaden was brought back to his senses by hooting from behind him. Looking through the side mirror, he could see that there was a car behind him. Turning his gaze to look at the traffic lights, Jaden immediately realized that it had already turned green.
It seemed that the other party behind him was kind of infuriated. But Jaden could not help but be a little speechless. After all, the road was quite wide, possessing two lanes. The other lane was currently empty, making it possible for the other party to use it to overtake him.
But it seemed that the other party was so intent on using this particular lane, or perhaps he was not happy about Jaden stopping there. Nevertheless, not wanting any unnecessary trouble, Jaden immediately began driving.
He ignored the driver of the car that was following behind him, who was continuously hooting, despite Jaden leaving. Even though he was slightly irritated, Jaden did not act on this matter.
Currently, he had to go back to the Johnson\'s residence, before making sure that Scarlet was secure. And other than that, he also had to make sure that he got free time where nobody would disturb him, so that he could go through the reward once again, while thinking about what he could use the card on.
As he was driving, he suddenly felt the phone that was in his pocket vibrating. Using his left hand to take it out, he looked at it and saw that there was a new message.
After unlocking the phone, he realized that it was a message from the bank. Even without opening it, he could see part of the message. And from it, he could see that he had received $20,000.
Jaden could not help but raise his brows a little. He had not expected something like this. He could immediately tell where the $20,000 were coming from. After all, it was not long ago that he had told the manager of the Dynamic nightclub to pay his salary.
Still, Jaden had not expected that the guy was going to be so scared that he decided to pay him $20,000. Jaden simply shrugged his shoulder at that. Currently, he was considered broke, even though he still remained with a little over $7,000 from the $10,000 that he had received from Clifford, and the $500 that he had received from Scarlet, together with the $10,000 that he received from Sylvia.
Well, he called himself broke not because he did not have money. Instead, the money that he had was nothing in comparison to the Johnsons, or the Williams, or even the background that Lucas belonged to.
In any case, in order to deal with them, he would need not just his own physical strength, but instead, he would need even more money. Money could at least buy connections and many more other things, that would make it easier for him as a bodyguard.
While Jaden was thinking about many more other things, he continued driving back to the Johnsons. And in about 20 minutes, he finally arrived. When he got back, he immediately called a few maids over.
He instructed them to take Scarlet to her room. He was not even sure where her room was, so, it was better for the maids to go there, considering that it was definitely not right for him to go into the lady\'s room.
The three maids that were called over could not help but panic slightly when they saw that Scarlet was unconscious. Jaden could not help but feel that they were kind of exaggerating things.
With a sigh, he said, "You don\'t have to worry much about her. She is just unconscious, but she will wake up soon. Just take her to her room so that she can rest."
Even though the maids felt that there was something that Jaden was not revealing to them, still, they decided to do as he had told them. They immediately struggled and picked up Scarlet, before taking her to her room.
Jaden wanted to communicate with Clifford, and inform him about what had happened. But he was informed that Clifford had not yet come back home. The only one that was present at the moment was none other than Steven. Implying that Lynette and Anthony were both away.
Shrugging his shoulder, Jaden simply gave Steven an explanation of what had happened, before he decided to go back to his residence.
