My Idle System

Making a breakthrough, Christian felt quite joyful as he finally arrived at the solution to his problem.

It was the modern world, after all, an era thriving with AI development.

Then, if he respectfully took help from all the AI companies around the world by hacking and stealing their research, studying everything they had developed, and added his perfect model by researching through the Idle System, why couldn't he create a super AI that would assist him in everything?

He would create an amazing AI capable of handling nearly everything for him. one that would surpass the current offerings in the world, managing tasks from trading to program hacking and beyond.

Feeling thrilled by his new findings, Christian was ready to start the Idle Practice of AI programming immediately. However, when he considered which running slot to replace, he hit the brakes and paused.

'There's no need to hurry.'

As soon as his Program Hacking skill became advanced, he would switch the AI Programming with Trading, as he couldn't afford to hamper his leveling speed that easily.

While time seemed to be running slowly now that he had something to look forward to, it still didn't stop.

And finally, his sister had come home from her last day at work.

Having finished eating and now relaxing in the living room together, his sister was silent, seemingly contemplating how she would fill her time from now on.

And seeing her like this, Christian finally decided to take pity on her and said.

"Sis, should we go out tomorrow?"

Of course, Christian didn't mean a picnic when he suggested going out tomorrow. But he was thinking that it was finally time to get a haircut.

His sister had previously nagged him about it a lot after the bag present incident, but he felt it wasn't the right time then and hadn't had a chance to think about it properly until now.

But as he planned to see Eva soon, or, more accurately, to try to, he felt it was important to be in his best shape after all.

So he corrected his sister, who was initially looking at him with a strange gaze filled with anticipation, about the true purpose of the outing.

But her gaze, which he thought would morph into disappointment, didn't. Instead, it became even more twinkling, her anticipation rising rather than diminishing.

He felt like she was having some weird thoughts filled with misunderstanding, but he held himself back from correcting her this time.

"And, Sis, aside from getting my hair cut, we should buy some clothes, and this time for both of us."

"Because, actually, the previous time when I bought you the bag, I also wanted to buy you some clothes but didn't know what to get exactly."

Of course, there was also the embarrassment and shame he felt in the bag shop, which were among the reasons, but he didn't mention them.

He needed to buy expensive brand clothes for himself anyway. While he had some nice clothes his sister had bought for him previously, and Eva didn't seem like the type to care about what he wore, it was still better to present himself as someone wealthy, or at least someone with money, rather than someone poor, barely getting by.

He now had more than $200,000, but until now, aside from the bag he bought for his sister, he hadn't spent much, just some inexpensive books on trading and health and body building, which were trivial compared to his current wealth.

So, the crux of the matter was that he had made a lot of money but hadn't spent much on himself, and it could almost be considered a crime to continue living like this.

While Christian was contemplating that he had finally found something to spend his money on, Annabelle looked at her brother, her eyes twinkling with excitement. Her sixth sense, woman's intuition, was tingling, telling her that the reason for this outing was extraordinary.

Her brother, who had vehemently refused to cut his hair and had never accompanied her to buy his own clothes, was now behaving in a way that was in stark contrast to his usual self.

It was a first for him, and Annabelle found it hard not to associate it with a girl. If it weren't for love, she really couldn't think of any other reason after all.

She felt excited, knowing that the spring of her brother's youth was finally arriving.

And she felt a strong determination to help him change his current style, believing that it would allow all his positive qualities to shine through. She wanted to reveal the best version of him, one that truly reflected his warm personality.

Not knowing what his sister had assumed about him in her mind, Christian chatted a bit more with his enthusiastic sister before finally heading to his room.

…

The next day arrived, and Christian stepped out of the house with his sister, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, while his sister donned something similar but more formal.

They took a taxi instead of the bus like usual, and suddenly, something struck him: why was he relying on public transportation in the first place?

Since his school was nearby and his sister's work wasn't too far, she even sometimes jogged back, they didn't feel the need for any alternatives.

But now that he had more than enough money, why not buy a car?

Christian didn't have a driving license, but his sister did, and he could always get one later.

Now, thinking carefully and glancing at the time, which was still before noon, meaning he had ample time, he deliberated for a moment and finally came to a decision.

He decided he would buy a car today.

As they got out of the taxi, Christian looked at his sister, who was sharing some compliments about the hair salon her friend had introduced her to.

Finally, he opened his mouth and seriously said something that dampened her mood.

"Sis, I changed my mind; I won't cut my hair."
