Chapter 220 Computer Mastery



After leaving Angels' Prominence, he immediately went back to his villa. He had to prepare a training schedule for Celine.

Since he himself was already a professional when it came to combat, then it wasn't something hard for him to instruct Celine on the fighting techniques.

Although he had previously been asking Celine about choosing other people to train her, he was obviously joking with her.

There was definitely no way that he was going to lose this chance that he could use to stay with Celine. Furthermore, he could enjoy her company as he trained her.

When he got to the villa in the serenity residential area, he got to work. He started planning the right way that he would start training Celine.

He had to make sure that she was good to go in the least time possible. And although he wanted to speed things up for her training, that was for the basics.

In the other areas, it would need a long period of time. So basically, whatever Jack wanted at the moment was to make sure that Celine was capable of utilizing the strength that came along with the consumption of the body strengthening solution.

After about ten minutes, Jack had come up with a good training schedule. Since Celine would already be physically fit, there was no need for the physical training and so on.

The only that was required was to simply train her skills and reaction to different situations and attacks.

After he was done, Jack decided that it was time for him to deal with other things. With Arthur currently out of the picture, he was going to deal with Collins.

Unlike the lackeys that he had given them a chance that they could use to redeem themselves, he wasn't going to give Collins a single chance at all.

At the end of the day, if his plans had succeeded back then, Celine wouldn't have had another chance. So, he was going to be merciless just like Collins had planned to be like.

Now then, he took out his overly expensive laptop. It was time that he used this thing that he had bought. He had spent a total of $3.5M to acquire it.

eαglesnᴏνel Looking back to his decision to buy the expensive laptop that was present on the online market, Jack shook his head. He wasn't sure if it was just that the wealth that he had recently gained that had gotten over his head or what.

But to think that he had spent so much money to acquire a laptop whose price was higher due to the fact that it had diamonds on it. He had to agree that he truly was idiotic back then.

All the same, he had decided that he was the one that was going to handle Collins' family personally. He had already given Denali a lot of work and he thought that it was time for her to rest.

Furthermore, she too had her life. He was supposed to create some time for her so that she could at least go back home and visit her family.

Placing the laptop in front of him, Jack took a deep breath. He decided that it was finally time for him to use the opportunity that he had received from the system to chose a skill that he wanted.

This was the chance that he had gotten after earning his first buck from playing basketball that was organized by Johnathan.

The first skill that came in his mind was computer mastery. This was the thing that had been disturbing him back in the days that he was still in the university.

Although he knew some of the basics of using the computer, there were a lot of things that he was still missing. And, he wasn't willing to miss the things now.

He had learnt the Automation engineering. This was something that involved technology. And as a result, there were a lot of calculations that couldn't be done by a simple calculator.

Instead, they required a computer for that to happen. This had troubled him back then. And this was the exact reason as to why he didn't want to engage with the numbers as this reminded him of how hectic it had been for him back in campus.

And since that was the first thing that came in his mind, Jack chose it immediately. 'Angel, I would like to acquire the same skill, computer mastery.' Jack stated in his mind.

[Confirm that you want to use the free skill slot for computer mastery?]

'Confirm that.' Jack replied without a hint of hesitation.

[Confirmed. The skill slot is used. Computer mastery acquired….Ingraining the skill into the hosts mind and body….The host will feel slightly uncomfortable.]

The moment that Angel's voice faded, Jack suddenly felt that his brain was being overloaded. This was by far the most uncomfortable feeling that he had gotten since the time that he had gotten the system.

Even when he got the professional combat and professional basketball and driving skills, he didn't feel this way at all.

Had to not been for the fact that his mind had been strengthened further due to the fact that he was a professional combatant with great mental strength and will, he might have passed out.

Jack was now wondering why the system was undermining things. This was definitely not slight discomfort. This was great discomfort!

At the same moment, Jack felt that there was a load of information that was being dumped into his mind at that point. The things that he previously didn't understand were now becoming more clear at the moment.

The codes that Denali had been typing when Jack was observing her, the things that didn't make sense to him, were now as easy as 1+1.

In the end, Jack could only close his eyes as he tried digesting the information that was coming in his mind. At the same time he tried ignoring the discomfort feeling that he was getting.

His hands began twitching and so did his body muscles. Without even he himself noticing it, he had changed his seating posture. Then, the muscle memory was altered by the system as Jack continued digesting the information and making sure that he understood them completely.

This went on for almost an hour. And then, Jack finally opened his eyes that shone with a strange golden glint that vanished in the next second as if it were never there to begin with.

Jack took a deep breath as he finally felt that the burden that was on his mind had finally been lifted. He got to his feet and did a few stretches before sitting back on the coach.

He then thought of something and asked, 'Angel, why is it that I'm the only one that felt uncomfortable during the time that I was receiving the skill while Denali was just fine when the skill was being ingrained into her?'

[You'll have to understand that there is a great difference between the two of you. Denali was receiving an ability, this was akin to something that she had gained naturally.]

[And although it is being referred to as an ability, it's still a skill. The reason as to why it's called an ability is due to the fact that, unlike you who received the memories, Denali could do that naturally.]

[Furthermore, during the time that she was being given the ability, she didn't really know about that at all. At that moment, there was an alteration in her mind. And as a result, she didn't notice that there was something that was added to her mind at all.]

Jack was left speechless for a moment. He then shook his head in the end. He had been wondering why the system had not done the same thing as it did with Denali.

But in the end, just thinking about the alterations in the mind and memories, he gave up on that idea. He had already had his memories messed with.

Although he didn't know how the person that had done it did it, he really didn't wish to forget about the things that he thought important to him.

Jack then shifted his attention to the laptop that was in front of him. But, he was surprised to find that the laptop was different from the way that it was before.

Jack was sure that there was no way that he was hallucinating or something. So, there either had to be a problem with the laptop or there was a problem with his eyes.

Just then, Angel's voice reached him.

[It's not that you are hallucinating or there have been any changes to the laptop in front of you. It's just that there is a change in the way that you can see things that are related to computers.]

[I believe that you have realized that the computer mastery that you have gotten doesn't simply involve the software, it also involves the hardware. Even the procedure of putting together a laptop or computer as long as you have all the required parts is in you right now.]

[As such, different from the other people, as long as the thing that you are looking at is related to a computer, you will enter a condition where your eyes will change.]

[In other words, you can see through anything that is computer related. If it's a problem, a firewall and so on, that is something that you can fix in a matter of seconds.]

Jack was stunned. He had never expected that the skill that he had received from the system would be so overpowered.

It was true that he had received all the information about the computers, both hardware and software.

He could even put together the computer or laptop as long as he got all the parts. It was just that he didn't have the knowledge of how to manufacture these parts.

In other words, he would have to buy the already manufactured parts so that he could put together a laptop or computer. Although he was sad that he didn't get that knowledge and skills to do that, he really didn't feel that bad.

[The longer that you have a free skill slot to select a skill, the better the skill that you would receive in the future. Host, please keep that in mind.]

Jack: "…..F*CK!"
