The system wasn’t capping it just made him put in the effort.

All Jordan needs to do is simply find women who like him, spend money on them, and get back double rewards.

Lowkey, it sounds like Jordan is becoming a sugar daddy.

But a sugar daddy who made money by spending money sounded a hell of a lot better than sitting in this musty ass apartment eating lukewarm pizza gooning to Calypso.

Jordan tapped the main screen and looked at the main screen. So he had two slots immediately available but once he chose a woman to fill that slot there were no take-backs. He couldn’t swap them out for someone with better stats even if he wanted to. Wait...

Where are his stats?

In every webnovel Leo had forced him to read, the system always came with some sort of stat screen: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Charisma, Luck. This was so the protagonist should be able to level up by doing pushups or studying or getting into fights or whatever the plot required.

This system has jack shit.

Jordan scrolled throughj the interface. There had to be more to this system than that right?

He found the Gacha button and tapped it.

A new window appeared.

🎰 GACHA SYSTEM

Spend Quest Tickets to unlock rewards!

BRONZE GACHA: 10 tickets

SILVER GACHA: 50 tickets

GOLD GACHA: 100 tickets

PLATINUM GACHA: 250 tickets (milestone rewards only)

[Insufficient Tickets: 0/10]

Jordan backed out and tapped the [Quests] button.

The screen changed again.

QUEST LOG

ACTIVE QUESTS

Two items appeared. One was grayed out with a timer next to it. The other was glowing faintly gold.

Jordan tapped the gold one first.

DAILY QUEST: Path to Becoming Adonis

DAILY QUEST: Path to Becoming Adonis(System Note: Initial parameters adjusted to prevent user mortality.)

OBJECTIVES:

[ ] Physical: Log 90 minutes of physical activity

[ ] Hygiene Level 1: Shower using actual soap.

[ ] Hygiene Level 2: Brush teeth for a full two minutes. Floss.

[ ] Grooming: Apply basic skincare (Wash. Moisturize. Sunscreen.)

[ ] Social: Speak to three different beauties for two minutes each. (Requirement: Maintain eye contact. Do not apologize for existing. Do not offer to buy them anything.)

⚠️ RESTRICTION ACTIVE: Axe Body Spray is permanently banned. Use of this chemical weapon will result in immediate quest failure and a -2% Attraction penalty with all registered targets.

REWARDS:

Full Stamina Recovery

3 Quest Tickets 🎟️

Three tickets per day. Ten tickets for a bronze pull. That meant he could do a gacha every three or four days if he kept up with the daily quest.

So there is the classic grind for this system. All Jordan had to do was do his dailies, save his tickets and finally go gambling.

Jordan wasn’t a total idiot, he knew the real rewards were with the gold and platinum pulls which meant he would be grinding dailies for weeks before he got anything good.

He backed out and looked at the second quest.

TUTORIAL QUEST: Ground Zero

Environmental Purge: Deep clean the apartment. Bag all trash. Remove the biological anomaly under the bed.

Jordan spared a glance at the wasteland of pizza boxes, monster energy cans, and the absorbent amount of clothes thrown all over the bed.

He wouldn’t be surprised if there was some unknown fungus growing under his bed.

Textile Decontamination: Wash all clothes. Wash the bedsheets. (System Note: Three months is a crime against hygiene.)

Damn had it rally been three months?

Damage Control (Physical): Visit a licensed salon. Eradicate the fried CVS box-dye disaster. Revert to natural dirty blonde or acquire a cut suitable for a human male. No flowbee allowed.

Ah, the dye job disaster. He decided to get it after Eliza mentioned how hot some influencer guy looked and he had that hair color. Too bad it made Jordan look like he lost a battle with a bottle of Clairol.

Damage Control (Social): Call David McKnight (Father). Apologize for recent behavior. State your commitment to change. (Requirement: Do not ask him for money. Speak clearly. Mean it.)

Just had to go directly for the jugular, huh? The system was going to make him apologize to his dad and mean it.

Jordan had been dodging his dad’s calls after getting notified of his allowance being cut. The system knew about Jordan spending Christmas pining over some girl instead of spending quality time with family.

We know you’re meant for great things.

Talk is cheap, results is what matters.

Jordan looked at the rewards section.

REWARDS:

10 Quest Tickets 🎟️

$1,500 System Sign-On Bonus (Deposited to secure System Account)

Okay, ten tickets would be enough for a bronze pull and a free $1500 sign on bonus? That would make it so he can get this Cashback started without having to get a part time job to sustain operations.

But the penalty was listed below in red text.

FAILURE PENALTY: Immediate System Uninstallation. Permanent reversion to Tier 4 Simp Status.

Tier 4 Simp Status.

Jordan didn’t need the system to explain what that meant. He was living it. He’d been living it for months.

So the system was making Jordan put his money where his mouth is. Either clean up his life, fix his mistakes and call his dad to apologize, or the system will deem him unworthy and he will just regress to being that same loser that got dumped on Christmas.

TIME LIMIT: 24:00:00

Twenty-four hours.

Jordan took a deep breath and looked at the gargantuan task he needed to complete to start rebuilding his life back from square one.

Ground Zero was the most fitting quest title this could be. He did hit rock bottom and at zero is where you start your climb if you truly want to get out of the hole.

Jordan pressed accept.

The screen flashed gold.

QUEST ACCEPTED: GROUND ZERO

TIMER STARTED: 23:59:58
