Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

"Crowley, come to my office tomorrow morning, I shall give you your reward for your exemplary performance. That's all from me, you're dismissed."

Nodding with a smile at Corvus, Shye bid everyone in the preparation room farewell. He then met up with Seira outside the arena.

"Boss! You're amazing as always! Even I didn't expect that you would simply toy with Arthur Vermicelli like that!"

"Hahahaha! I told you, didn't I? Your boss is invincible!"

The two of them chatted casually as they walked towards the betting station to claim their winnings. Naturally, upon arriving, the now iconic duo easily captured everyone's attention.

"H-Hey, look! Isn't that Shye Crowley and his underling?"

"Yeah, no doubt about it."

"I heard he bet on himself big time!"

"Now that's true confidence!"

This time, all that came his way were curious gasps and words of admiration, bringing a smile to the duo's face.

After waiting for around twenty minutes, the two of them successfully claimed their winnings as the betting station didn't dare make things difficult for Balkrow City's rookie representative.

If they were to attempt it, City Lord Felix would undoubtedly send men to raid their betting station and give Shye his winnings.

It was simply futile.

Luckily, the majority bet their fortunes on Arthur Vermillion and John Oni's victory, hence, although Shye's payouts stung, they were still able to make a bit of profit.

…Leaving the betting station with delightful smiles on their faces, the iconic duo counted their winnings.

Shye received a whopping payout of 5,100 gold coins (510,000 silver coins).

On the other hand, Seira almost cried in utter ecstasy upon seeing the contents of the payout sack bag.

There were a total of 1,445 gold coins inside.

Naturally, since this was her first time having such a huge amount of money in her possession, Seira couldn't help but daydream.

She would spoil her family tonight!

Following approximately ten minutes of walking, they went their separate paths.

Seira joyfully skipped back to the house she rented inside the city, while Shye made his way back to his room at a nearby inn.

'System.'

After making sure that the door was locked, Shye opened the system. It was finally time for him to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

'Hehehe…first of all, let's max out my attributes!'

With a current savings of 441,477 points, there was no doubt it would suffice to maximize his attributes up to the limit of the Flashy Adventurer System Level 3…right?

For the next hour, all Shye did was press the + button beside each attribute, maxing them out at 300 each due to the limits of the system.

Of course, the wisdom attribute remained the same as it was still locked for upgrade and he could not upgrade it manually even if he wanted to.

'F-F*ck…I thought my points wouldn't be enough…' Shye inwardly cursed in slight anxiety.

Well, maxing out his attributes used up 383,940 points out of his 441,477 points so his mild panic was understandable.

He also wanted to purchase a few rare and unique-tier skills, however, since he only had 57,537 points remaining, it would be hard for him to purchase high-tier skills.

Thus, he chose to acquire several common yet beneficial ones instead, postponing the purchase of the higher-tiered ones for now.

He planned to wait until he had saved up a hundred thousand points at least.

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Strength Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Intelligence Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Agility Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Dexterity Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Stamina Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Vitality Lv.1] for 500 points!]

[Congratulations! You've learned [Enhance Wisdom Lv.1] for 500 points!]

'That should be it…' Shye thought inwardly with a satisfied smile.

Lately, he came to the realization that upgrading his attributes offered the most significant benefit for utilizing his points, enabling him to swiftly climb the ranks.

Hence, he resolved to consistently prioritize maximizing them as swiftly as he could.

'Hmmm…let's see how many points are needed to upgrade the system to level four.' Shye mused as his fingers continued tapping away, navigating to the system upgrade button.

[Insufficient system points! 1,000,000 points are needed to upgrade the system to level 4]

'F*ck…one million points? Where the hell would I obtain that large amount?! Sigh…I guess I'll be stuck at 300 points per attribute for quite a while…'

If anyone heard his inner thoughts, they would be mobbing him to death in utter fury.

300 points per attribute at 21 years old? And he's still complaining?

Greedy!

…Anyway, his current attributes were already enough for his current circumstances.

'Ahh…it's already nighttime? I should sleep and show up to the guild early tomorrow…'

The guild master would reward him, after all. He shouldn't be late, and he didn't want to be late.

…

The following morning, Shye made some light preparations, bathed, and grabbed a quick meal at the inn's canteen.

Then, in high spirits, he headed directly to the guild, wondering what reward Corvus had in store for him.

What he didn't expect was…that he was already a huge celebrity.

Entering the headquarters, heads inevitably turned his way.

"Oh?! It's Crowley!"

"Crowley!! Congratulations on becoming the city's rookie representative!"

Since he was also in a good mood, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the vast lobby where most of his guildsmen were eating their meals.

Known for his notorious arrogance and short temper as a rookie, the guild members visibly flinched upon realizing that Shye had turned his gaze toward them.

However, they soon realized how wrong their impressions were as Shye raised his right arm triumphantly and flashed a wide smile at them as he continued walking towards Corvus' office, prompting the guildsmen to cheer even louder.

"CROWLEY!!"

"CROWLEY!!"

"CROWLEY!!"
