[Congratulations, Host, you received 0.05% shares of
[You received a skill: Universal Linguistics]
[You received Geneva Crest]
[Note: The Crest is in the inventory.]
Another 0.05% again... Not that I wasn’t expecting it. That’s another $1.7b added to my net worth.Thank you, system.
With the addition of today’s 0.05% Applē shares reward, Liam’s net worth has gone up from its value of $29b yesterday to $30.7b!
And the best thing about this was that the he would probably continue to receive the 0.05% shares for the next few days until probably his third weekly sign-in.
This means that his net worth will grow by a guaranteed $1.7b daily throughout the week.
Now, tell me who wouldn’t be happy with something ? Even those that say money doesn’t buy happiness will definitely have a bright smile on his face if they find themselves in such a situation.
Liam couldn’t help smiling from ear to ear, imagining seeing the 0.05% everyday for the rest of the week.
But he didn’t allow himself to get lost in his own thoughts, as he turned to the remaining rewards.
Universal Linguistics...
The name of the skill already made it self-explanatory but when he thought about it, information about it flooded into his mind.
[Universal Linguistics: This skill grants the Host immediate and flawless comprehension of all spoken, written, and symbolic languages in all universes. This includes ancient, extinct, coded, and artificial tongues. It enables instant understanding of meaning, tone, and context, ability to speak any language with native-level fluency, accent, and cultural nuance and automatic interpretation of idioms, proverbs, and connotations without error. Written and symbolic languages are processed as naturally as breathing.
[Note: Host also perceives intent behind words, minimizing risk of deception through linguistic trickery.]
"Wow! What an amazing skill! As expected, the system always knows how to outdo itself," Liam muttered to himself softly.
His initial thoughts and impression about the skill was that it would enable him to understand and fluently speak any type of language. But its description had made him understand that the skill goes beyond that.
He doesn’t even need to do a lot of thinking before guessing the reason why the system gave him the skill. And he was really grateful.
Now that he has the skill, he finally understood what the driver had said to him.
Bienvenue à Genève, Monsieur Scott. Welcome to Geneva, Mr. Scott.
Due to the skill, the man’s words were simply just translated to English, but with its full weight.
The man’s words was a polite, formal greeting layered with Swiss hospitality and professional respect, genuine and free of hidden intent.
Wow! What an envious skill. With it, I can finally do what some people dream of.
And what is this dream? Being able to watch anime in Japanese without subtitle and fully understand everything they are saying. Also being able to watch any movie in its original language and listen to any song sang in any language, and fully understanding what they are saying!
The skill was practical and godly. With it, if he travel to any non-English speaking country, he will be able to interact without any problem.
And I won’t get with that phrase, "You speak English because it’s the only language you understand, and I respond in English because it’s the only language you understand."
Liam smiled to himself as he imagined possible funny scenarios of shocking people by fluently speaking their language and in their own dialect.
Now, the last reward. Geneva Crest.
He immediately took the item out of the inventory and a slim platinum card materialised in his hand.
He observed the card and the intertwined crests of the Rothschild banking dynasty and the Swiss cross engraved on it immediately caught his attention.
Also, information about the card flowed into his mind.
"Wow!" Liam muttered slowly, after absorbing the information about the card.
Just as one would already guess, the card wasn’t a simple card. In fact, its name and the two crests engraved on it was already more than enough for one to know.
The card is issued by the family to only the clients of the private vault and it signals the client’s verified lineage and financial standing.
It’s to be presented disceetly upon arrival and the staffs would immediately shift to ultra-deferential treatment the moment it’s shown.
In public elite circles (political dinners, global finance forums, etc.), flashing it - even casually - is enough to silence doubts and open doors. It’s not just access; it’s also a symbol of belonging to the 0.0001%.
Yeah, in other words; it’s the ultimate black card that anyone can have.
"Nice!" Liam muttered slowly, as he studied the card more.
He turned it over to the back and slowly ran his fingers on the surface, and he noticed something that he had missed before.
"Hmmm... It seems to be micro-engraved," he said to himself, as he felt the invisible engravings on the card’s surface.
Immediately, more information flowed into his head.
I see... So, it means the 17th lineage batch, Geneva Crest client #11.
Liam smiled to himself in satisfaction of today’s sign-in rewards as he placed the Crest back into the inventory. The rewards today were wonderful. The shares and the skill were the highlight, and the card was the cherry on top.
He will be going to the private vault tomorrow and he will finally get to know what’s really inside the safe deposit box.
He didn’t want to guess about its possible content. He wants to see it for himself. But one thing he knew was that he won’t be disappointed.
The system is very good at pulling surprises and tomorrow won’t be any different.
Now while he wait for tomorrow, Liam has to think of what to do with the whole day.
Actually there was no need thinking about it as he already has an idea of what to do.
He will order himself breakfast first. The meal prepared by the kitchen of a 5-star hotel in one of the most upscale places in the world should definitely taste heavenly.
After the meal, he will take a lakeside stroll and go on a little sightseeing. His plan for coming to Geneva wasn’t just for the private vault, he also want to use the opportunity to experience new things. But he won’t be able to do that if he locks himself up in the penthouse suite.
Beside the lakeside stroll, he has no idea but he felt that as he walk around, he would see things that interest him.
But before all that, breakfast first. He turned to the nightstand and picked up the in-room control tab, and started browsing through the establishment’s exclusive breakfast menu.
It took him a minute to make his selection. And now, he will wait.
