My Idle System

...

Christian made a discovery.

Some books, or some kind of knowledge he might need could potentially not be in English. Despite most important resources in the world having an English version, there were still some that did not after all.

Some miscellaneous things, which he might initially consider irrelevant or useless, could actually be crucial for sparking ideas or inspiration for him, during his Idle Practice process.

There could also be some books he needed that weren\'t available online but existed somewhere out there.

Christian had actually thought about this topic a bit since his bodybuilding skill had reached the intermediate level. However, when the scale of the knowledge related to his skill started expanding, he stopped using his idle slot for it, after all.

In the end, he discovered two things from this. The first was about language, he\'d need to understand some languages for necessary materials when his Idle System start to study them for him.

To solve this problem, he had considered putting all the languages of the world into one of his Idle Practicing slot, but ultimately rejected the idea, as it wasn\'t cost effective.

After all, there was Iris; if something wasn\'t too important, she could be the one to learn it instead.

In fact, aside from unimportant things, Iris could learn nearly anything simply by having the information inputted, and despite his own comprehension raising, he was still quite far behind her in this regard.

He\'d likely be asking for her help a lot in the future, but he had created her to make his life easier and more convenient, after all. So, if she didn\'t help, who would?

Anyway, aside from the language problem, which he could simply let Iris translate for him, the second thing he discovered the need of was the library!

And he wasn\'t just talking about gaining access to one; he was talking about creating one!

He considered this to be a massive project, as he wanted his library to contain every possible piece of knowledge in the world, organized in text files for easier access.

But, while he could easily obtain the books available online, many others were not accessible on the internet and existed only as printed, inanimate objects like normal books.

Acquiring them was also a problem, as they were not just around him; they could be on the other side of the Earth.

Some of these books could be considered too old to warrant attention, while others were deemed unimportant and had little demand. Additionally, some might be restricted by the government or companies, and there could be many other reasons for their inaccessibility, resulting in their unavailability online.

So, in conclusion, it was a huge project for him.

Of course, he also entertained the idea of buying everything online.

But could everything really be bought online? He didn\'t think so.

Anyway, this discovery opened many avenues for him, as he felt his horizons broaden.

He also found inspiration from it, feeling that all things in the world are somehow interconnected. When he wanted to learn about topic A, he realized he would need knowledge of topic B, along with some ideas of topic C. And as he learned about topic B, he would somehow also gain knowledge of topic D.

It was the most simple example, but in reality, many more complex factors were involved, making him feel that the importance of creating this library had increased significantly.

However, while he knew it was very important, after careful consideration, Christian decided to delay this project for now and start it after he finished working on his parents\' case.

He wanted to start it, with an easy mind, after all.

So, while there were ups and downs here and there, everything related to his Idle System could still be said to be going smoothly. However, his relationship with Eva was actually not.

And no, it wasn\'t because they had gone through some problems or had a fight.

But it was because there had been no new developments at all over the last three weeks.

Well, strictly speaking, it wasn\'t that there was no development, but at this pace, he didn\'t know how many years it would take for his relationship with Eva to solidify, and evolve more.

As for the possibility of being friend-zoned? He couldn\'t deny that either.

Christian would admit that maybe, at first, he didn\'t know or didn\'t realize it himself, but apparently, the word "special" that Eva had said made him too relaxed. He had thought that there could really be something developing on her side. Perhaps because he was so pleased with how things went when she came to his house, he ended up unconsciously waiting longer than he had anticipated.

Okay, actually he still held onto the hope of something developing from her side, but he came to realize that the idea of making some moves to stimulate progress and speed things up, was also important.

And while it could be considered that nothing more happened between them in these three weeks, Christian still discovered something about her, or rather, noticed it, since it was not hidden.

Most of the places they visited when they were outside were always somewhat private, often with very few people around, or sometimes, none at all, making it seem as if she was trying to hide from someone.

And this made him feel very uncomfortable, as he didn\'t want the woman he liked to be in that situation. He was okay with not knowing everything about each other, but important matters like this needed to be addressed by both sides. So, he planned to comfort her tomorrow.

This time, if she really didn\'t say anything, he was even prepared to use his skills to look into things himself.

When he thought that there was no one else in her life, he was still okay with not knowing everything.

But now, he couldn\'t shake the feeling that he needed to know more.

Most importantly, their relationship was different. His attachment to her was different.

\'Still, I hope she will explain it herself.\'

While thinking this to himself, Christian also recalled other aspects of Eva that he had discovered, or perhaps felt? Regardless, he sensed that she was somewhat idealistic, though not about everything. It seemed to pertain specifically to relationships?

In the end, he wasn\'t entirely sure.

And it was really all purely by chance, or not? Anyway, it was when she asked about his sister\'s relationship, as if she were seeing someone, it was then that he inquired about Olivia in return.

But maybe more explicitly? As he directly asked if she had a boyfriend.

And the feeling he got from her reply at that time, when she denied it, was a bit agitated, and something more. Of course, had it been before, he wouldn\'t have noticed, and even now he was still unsure.

Anyway, during these three weeks, at the mention of his sister, he had also taken the opportunity to ask her about her opinion on Eva, especially since he had noticed that she hadn\'t mentioned anything about her yet.

His sister\'s opinion, in the end, was a little vague. She mentioned that she couldn\'t give a definitive judgment, but she was sure something was off. Christian now naturally agrees with her assessment.

It also felt to him like her tone was somewhat rejecting, though not too strong.

Then aside from thing related to Eva, his sister had actually started to feel like she couldn\'t bear staying at home any longer, doing nothing, and she was now really beginning to search for something that wouldn\'t take much time, even if it was just an online job.

It seemed that just hanging out with him and doing what she was currently doing was no longer enough for her.

No, her hanging time had actually increased a little since Eva\'s visit.

But anyway, this time, she was very strict with her requirements, as she was naturally not in a hurry, hoping to find something convenient that she considered best. As a result, she ended up not finding anything.

Or maybe she found some, but they weren\'t suitable enough?

\'Hopefully, it would stay the same.\'

\'Or should I just start something for fun with her?\'

\'..\'

\'For now, given the situation, I can wait a little longer.\'

\'I could even ask for her help with the library project?\'

While considering many possibilities and recalling everything that had happened over the past three weeks, Christian didn\'t find it difficult at all to make his decision; he was already set on what he would do, after all.

Tomorrow, he would finally have a serious talk with Eva. This time, it wouldn\'t be like their conversation by the riverside; now, he was prepared to be even more direct, as they were that much closer.

Then, there was also the government hacking attempt. Hopefully, through it, he would get even closer to getting the extraordinary power.
