[CH.2] The way to upgrade is...

Kate pointed to the second paragraph on the parchment and said, "The contract stipulates that we can only pay your wages at the end of the month. This is a contract forged with our souls, and if we pay your wages in advance, we will incur a contract penalty."

Han Huayang scratched his head and said, "So, you can't lend me some money, boss?"

"No, I am a supernatural spirit. In the spirit world, there is no concept of 'lending.' If you want to take something from me, you must exchange it with an equivalent item. You must show me the item you intend to exchange."

"Boss, I'm not an alchemist. Isn't this equivalent exchange system something demons came up with?"

After listening to Kate's explanation, Han Huayang was quite perplexed. His tone was slightly disrespectful, which provoked Kate to jump up and give him a sharp slap with her tail.

"Don't get it wrong, demons won't engage in equivalent exchanges with humans. They will only deceive humans with smooth talk and exchange your possessions for their short-term benefits. What I do has nothing to do with demons."

Kate waved her claw, and the parchment in the air suddenly burst into flames and turned to ashes.

She licked the short fur on her hand and groomed her whiskers. After the brief movement, her fur was no longer neat.

Taking advantage of this moment, Kate asked Han Huayang, "Do you urgently need money?"

Han Huayang lowered his head and said softly, "My mother has a weak stomach and needs to take medicine regularly. Since my dad disappeared from the mortal world, we've used up the savings we had for medicine."

"When you signed the contract with me, I gave you 3 million. What did you do with all that money?"

"I used that money to pay off debts. My scoundrel of a father left behind a debt of 350 million, ran away with his step-sister, and our family factory was mortgaged, and our house was taken away. Back in my hometown, my sick mother and my little sister who is still in high school are living in a rented room... Currently, both my sister and I are working, but the medicine my mother needs is still too expensive."

After hearing Han Huayang's explanation, Kate hung her head. As a cat, her large eyes were even more expressive of her emotional changes. She wasn't a heartless boss. Although Kate was just a spirit, compared to some people in society, she had more humanity.

"If I refuse you, wouldn't I seem heartless? Although I can't give you money directly, you can sell your Love Points to me. One Love Point for 1000 yuan, what do you think of this deal? Love Points are the source of my power, and I'm willing to buy them from you."

The Magical Girl System was an interface attached to the spirit contract, allowing Han Huayang to purchase skills or upgrade attributes using Love Points.

Currently, Han Huayang only had 9 Love Points. If he converted all of them into money, he would have 9,000 yuan, which would immediately solve his mother's medicine expenses. After buying the medicine, he would still have a substantial amount left, enough to sustain them for a while.

If he could find a way to accumulate Love Points quickly, he wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.

"Boss, can Love Points only be obtained by defeating monsters?"

"What have you been doing all this time? I've already told you. As long as there is love in your heart, you can earn Love Points anytime, anywhere. Helping others, assisting the weak, and even being in love can earn you Love Points. Oh, and if you do that kind of thing with someone you like, your Love Points will skyrocket."

"Just to clarify, what does 'that kind of thing' mean?"

"What else could it mean? It naturally refers to *** (beep sound)."

Kate pronounced the word with her soft, mature voice, a term that only someone who had become a god could understand, causing Han Huayang to turn red.

As a man, Han Huayang had had a few relationships, but he had never crossed that line.

Fundamentally, Han Huayang didn't understand "love" in some aspects. He had the desire but lacked the courage, making him a contradictory combination of purity and hidden desires. In other words, he was a virgin.

"Do you have to be so direct about it?"

"What's wrong with being direct? Is there a problem? Don't want to hear it? But, just playing around with the intention of earning Love Points won't work. You can only earn a large amount of Love Points by genuinely falling in love with someone. Of course, being genuinely loved can also earn you points, but you'll earn fewer."

Kate swayed her tail lazily, continuing, "You can try being a Casanova. Since you're cute, just deceive a few girls, have relationships with them, and you'll earn a ton of points in no time."

"I would never deceive girls like that! Although I... Anyway, I won't do that kind of thing!"

"Then, become an Alice and find a few men. It's the same."

Han Huayang blushed and exclaimed, "That's even more impossible!"

Perhaps finding Han Huayang too noisy, Kate covered her ears with her cat paws.

"Lower your voice. I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you don't want to become a Casanova, then fall in love with someone. It doesn't matter if they're male or female; as long as there's love, you can earn a ton of Love Points from them. In any case, I'm just telling you about this method. Whether you do it or how you do it is up to you."

Kate narrowed her cat eyes, curled up into a ball on the trash can, and wagged her tail.

"By the way, kid, I have to warn you about one thing. You've already sold seventy percent of your soul to me. If you want to regain your freedom, you must redeem your soul. Either pay 3,000 Love Points or cough up 3 million. If the connection isn't severed before you die, you'll—"

Han Huayang interrupted Kate, saying, "I understand that my soul will be held captive by you, and I won't have the chance to reincarnate. But, are you really not a demon from hell?"

"How many times do I have to say it? I am a spirit! A graduate of a reputable academy!"

Kate roared and transformed into a giant one-eyed monster. She grabbed Han Huayang and stared at him with an eye the size of a basketball.

"Don't underestimate me!"

"I wouldn't dare, how could I underestimate the boss?"

Han Huayang quickly pleaded, and Kate transformed back into a spotted cat. Spirits didn't have a fixed form, but they preferred to appear in the form of a cat, at least Kate always did.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. I've just added the function to exchange Love Points for money in the system. You can convert your Love Points into human currency within the system, and the amount will be added directly to your account."

Without waiting for Han Huayang to speak further, Kate turned into a streak of light and flew away, disappearing into the glass.

Regardless, Han Huayang's mother indeed needed money urgently. Han Huayang's consciousness entered the system and opened the system interface.

【Love Points: 9】

The monthly medication cost was approximately 3,000 yuan, and there were some additional expenses for daily living. Transferring 5,000 yuan to his mother should be sufficient.

After exchanging 5 Love Points, Han Huayang's phone immediately displayed a notification of 5,000 yuan being transferred into his bank account. Kate wouldn't deceive him; anything she said was reliable and true.

However, the exchange process felt too casual, and Han Huayang couldn't shake the feeling that he had been tricked by Kate somehow.

He had 4 Love Points left. Han Huayang casually browsed the skill page. Magical girls had numerous skills, but each magical girl could only learn magic skills related to their own attributes.

Although there were many skills, even the cheapest ones required over 100 Love Points. Han Huayang couldn't afford anything.

Compared to the expensive skills, upgrading his own attributes only cost 1 point. It sounded reasonable, but let's take a look at the four attributes Han Huayang currently possessed.

Love and Justice: 1

Sailor Uniform: 5

Knee-High Socks: 6

Idol: 3

Physical Strength: 5

Apart from the fourth attribute, Physical Strength, which had a significant boost for Han Huayang, what were the other attributes used for? According to the descriptions from the agency seniors (senior girls), magical girl attributes were like equipment and could be changed in the later stages to change their own abilities.

However, magical girls could only possess a limited number of attributes, and currently, Han Huayang could have a maximum of 6 attributes, with one attribute slot remaining empty.

Additionally, the senior girl said that each attribute could be increased to a maximum of 7 points, but Han Huayang didn't want to spend his valuable 1,000 yuan worth of points on these strange attributes.

Love and Justice? Sailor Uniform? Knee-High Socks? Idol? No matter which one he looked at, they all seemed incredibly baffling.

Would increasing the points in Idol make him more of an idol? Would increasing the points in Sailor Uniform make him more suited to wearing a sailor uniform? What exactly would increasing Love and Justice do? Would it make him a better justice-oriented partner? Would it affect his sense of values after leveling up?

He really couldn't understand this strange system. He decided to leave the detailed research for later.

Han Huayang didn't want to waste his points, so he exited the system like this.
