Chapter 185 Updates and upgrades

After a few seconds of agonizing over the decision, Ben decided to invest in emptying his bladder...

It was worth the short trip to the bathroom to be lighter on his feet, in case w.i.l.l.y fired at him with another cobra-c*ck...

Remembering that possibility as he sat on his bed, Ben realized the experience with w.i.l.l.y might lead to unexpected trauma, and made the decision to take care of any miscellaneous matters before spinning the wheel.

The first item on the agenda was to check his skill progress. Upon opening the page, he saw what he expected.

[Squirtle Hydro Pump(Skill, Set, Fine, Growth) - Entry-level fingering technique to make a woman squirt]

[Exp:80/100]

"That twisted turtle is eating too well…"

Despite complaining, Ben looked forward to this skill evolving, and that day might not be far away, because he only needed to use it on one more woman.

One girl was also what he had left to complete his dreaded monthly challenge, and that was before Olivia, which signified that now—he'd succeeded!

[Congratulations! You've completed the Monthly Challenge: Four-Score and Two Inches Ago - seduce four women within one month]

[Punishment: p.e.n.i.s shortened by 2 inches]

[Completion status: 4/4]

Even though compared to this, the consequence of failing his death challenge was more severe, with the punishment being obliteration, that was only on paper. This one was on d*ck.

...

For that reason, while this challenge was active, Ben always grew tenser with each pa.s.sing day, afraid of cutting it too close…

Now, that was no longer an issue though. What's more is the punishment was only one aspect of the challenge. There was also a reward.

[Reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]

[a.s.signing Stat: Charisma +1]

Seeing which stat was selected, Ben gasped! He hurried to open his stats to check charisma!

[Charisma: (+1)8 - Veteran-level professional]

It was his first 8 in any stat! Not only that, it was the very useful charisma! Even though Ben slept with Olivia not long ago, a sudden celebratory urge came over him! He laid down on his stomach, and started speed-humping the bed!

…

Yet that was only the beginning!

He humped the pillow!

He humped the desk!

He even humped the air! He wanted to s.e.x everything and didn't care! Even though this move ruined Spider-man 3!

…

A short while later, Ben got it all out of his system, whatever it was... A symbiote? Bad writing? He didn't know...

He just sat on his bed grinning, because this was a big deal. He knew how difficult it was to get an 8, so for the random stat point to go to his highest stat was a huge victory. Despite that, he also understood that as useful as charisma was, it was only an amplifier. With his other stats still hanging around 6, his performance in various aspects wasn't too stable. He was getting better than last month when he only made mistakes all the time, but he was far from perfect.

The high charisma would amplify his abilities, but for the most part, it increased the chances of huge successes or huge failures. It wouldn't make him competent in the various stats. Still, that was enough for now.

As Ben read through his stats, he also received another pleasant surprise.

[Seduction skills: (+1)6 - Natural Joe Squirt]

This stat also went up by one, which he felt was reasonable given his recent successes. However, there was one downside—he no longer received a boost from his system cologne item.

[Hot Dog Cologne(Item, Uncommon) x1 - Cologne that increases seduction skills by 1 up to a maximum of 6 if sprayed on]

All in all, there wasn't an immediate change to his seduction abilities, but the higher base stat would prove more useful in the future when he received better items. The more important thing was this, along with the rise in charisma, brought him closer to fulfilling his current death challenge.

[Death Challenge: Become an Elite Alpha - Raise your stats to an average of 8 points within 6 months]

In addition, Ben noticed something interesting about the cologne; Unlike some other items, there was no disclaimer that only he could use it. That carried thoughtful implications…but it wouldn't be very helpful in the present moment, so he put the hot dog spray away.

Having finished going through his stats, Ben checked the next thing. Since he completed the monthly challenge, it meant he should've received a new one, which he soon found in the challenges screen.

[Monthly Challenge: Two and a Half-Some - have a threesome…with two women]

"Wait…who's the half?" Ben knew it was almost certain she was referring to him but maybe she meant a dwarf?

[You]

"F*ck! Screw that! I'm not the half! If anything, I'm Charlie Sheen!" Then, he remembered Charlie Sheen was HIV positive…

Sighing, Ben decided to meet in the middle… 'Fine, I'll be the kid…'

On top of that, something else about the challenge bugged him. 'You didn't need to specify two women…I wouldn't want a threesome with a guy and girl.' For some reason, the system liked to add that qualifier to the descriptions on occasion, but it made Ben aggrieved, because he never planned to play pool with more than one pool stick…

[Can't be two guys either]

"IT WOULD NEVER BE!"

…

As he tried to lower his blood pressure, Ben read the remainder of the challenge info.

[Reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]

[Remaining time: 30/30 days]

[Punishment: Stat Point(Random) -1]

[Completion status: 0/1]

Looking at the punishment, it wasn't as bad this time, at least in his opinion. Ben supposed that was due to the higher difficulty of a threesome. While sleeping with four women in a month was difficult, since he'd already set up leads beforehand, it wasn't impossible. As far as a threesome though, he didn't have any confidence.

Although he was dating a few girls now, they were all virgins before they slept with him. Even if they each possessed different value standards, none of them were s.l.u.ts, and he'd need to find not one, but two willing women. It wasn't like any of his girls were his girlfriend or wife, and Ben's birthday wasn't coming up either… Convincing them would be difficult and could backfire big-time…

Not having a good grasp of the difficulty, he could only play it one day at a time. Ben didn't want to push this on one of his girls and lose them. If he failed the challenge, he'd lose a stat point, and while it would hurt, it wouldn't be a death sentence.

However, it would bring him a bit closer to a death sentence. So while he wouldn't be staying up at night from anxiety like he did during his first death challenge, and also the p.e.n.i.s shortening one…he'd still do his best to complete it.

Having finished reviewing everything new in his system, all that remained was the wheel spin, the booty chest he acquired from Olivia, and his points. 'I don't know what's going to happen with that wheel. Since the chest is likely to drop a potion, I should use that first. The physical boost might help me in case of danger.' He knew the agility potion would be helpful while d*ck dodging…

Having decided, Ben sat up on his bed and took out the booty chest. Like all his recent ones, this one was silver as well, indicating rare quality. Since he'd been through the opening process a number of times, Ben wasn't too excited though, a fact that made him sigh. 'Is this lifestyle making me jaded?' Then, he realized something and smiled. 'Jaded is a good thing, if this world has xianxia cultivators...then I'll become more handsome!'

His references were limited…

He believed that as an MC, if he couldn't compare something to jade, phoenixes, or dragons, there wouldn't be much use for it…

Since Ben could compare the silver chest to a glossy jade, there was no problem! So he opened it, and soon, was holding a tube of yellow liquid. 'A stamina potion again?'

[Stamina Potion(Consumable, Rare) x1 - Physique is important in bed. Drink this to permanently increase your stamina a bit. Brewed by the Perverted Divine Alchemist]

He didn't mind receiving this. Perhaps stamina wasn't as flashy as strength and agility, but it made the biggest difference in bed. Of course, Ben hoped to get something special like a mana potion, but he didn't know if they existed and he wasn't the one who packed the school lunch…

As Ben gazed at the gla.s.s tube in his hand though, he furrowed his brows, because he knew that after drinking this, there was a high chance he'd experience h.e.l.lish pain. He'd already consumed a stamina potion once. If taking a second one was a similar process to the time with the strength potion, then there was no doubt he'd suffer agony.

Nevertheless, Ben didn't have much hesitation. 'I need to keep moving forward or the system will kill me.' It was like having the world's most motivational personal trainer, because when you missed a rep, she cut your c*ck off.

…

Popping off the cork and holding the potion in front of him, Ben gritted his teeth as he thought of the incoming torment. 'You can do this. Just imagine the pain as weakness leaving your body…' He visualized himself sweating out the ghosts of j.a.panese MCs...

And for Ben, that was enough! He swallowed it!

With the bitter taste lingering on his tongue, he lied down right after drinking it. Staring at the ceiling, he clenched his teeth and squeezed his fists, waiting, knowing the pain would soon arrive…

5 seconds later…he winced. 'It's coming…'

10 seconds later…he panted. 'It's brewing its power…'

20 seconds later…he was lonely. 'Where the f*ck you at bruh?'

…

For whatever reason, the expected pain didn't arrive. 'I must've set too many flags...'

Ben wasn't sure if that was the reason it turned out this way, but he was thankful nonetheless, since that last session with the second strength potion was absolutely brutal.

Loosening his tense muscles, he released a sigh of relief. 'I don't know why, but I guess I got lucky this ti—' That's when he started shaking!

...

Every inch of him felt like it was being stabbed by thumbtacks! Then needles! Then knives!

It was the side-effect of the potion! 'd.a.m.n! Was it the flag for setting too many flags?!?'

He wasn't sure of the reason but the effect arrived late! His body tricked him!

Realizing this as the pain overwhelmed him, Ben only managed to get out one curse at his own flesh, which due to his chattering teeth, came out as a slur in an Estonian accent. "FACK YOU BADY!"
