I Breathe Euro

The card in Jack's hand was golden in color; on one said there were only two words written [Golden Skill], and behind there were rows in line.

' This card can be only used by the system host. One of his skills can be maxed out by using this card, or it can be used to learn a skill for the first time.'

Jack seeing the skill was actually shocked. Is this even possible? He was more shocked than when he got Euros for free.

"This system is this amazing?" Jack murmured, looking at the card in his hands. Jack thought it was impossible.

Taking the card in his hand. Jack pressed the card in his temples and thought, 'This will be impossible, hehe. System, I want photographic memory.'

The golden card melted on his temples, and Jack stared at his empty hands in shock.

Jack looked at his remaining balance; it was 300,000€.

Jack then went to his study room to confirm the reality of the situation. After reading a book, he was shocked to discover that he had remembered everything.

Jack didn't realize it only took him about 10 minutes to read a 300-page book, and he remembered every single alphabet.

Bewildered and filled with joy, Jack calmed down first. It took him around two hours to finish every single book of the second semester.

"What a great system. I wonder what I will do with the next Skill Card," Jack said smilingly.

It took 100K€ to buy that card. Jack thought even if he had to sell this apartment again, he would do so to buy such a card.

Photographic memory not only boosted his memory to store everything fast, but his comprehension skill went up too.

"Is it possible for me to purchase this card every day for only 100K€? Ahahaha, "Jack was laughing his ass off.

Then he suddenly stopped laughing, because he just realized his everyday income is doubled; 100K€ + every fucking day was his now income.

Jack can't even believe what he was thinking; so much money is coming to him now every day.

Jack then went to his bedroom again and tried to divert himself by browsing his phone, but whatever he was seeing in the phone, his mind was recording it, unintentionally.

Jack thought, 'This is not good; I don't want to store useless information; maybe tomorrow after the system resets, I'll buy one skill card, but wait, it's a random shop; I can't just wait for a skill card; I've got to practice myself."

Jack decided to practice his new skill, which was 'Photographic Memory.' He wanted to store the information about useful things and discard the useless ones.

Jack tried to focus while browsing his phone; he was so engrossed that he forgot to even eat lunch.

When Emma came to make dinner, she noticed that Jack hadn't eaten his lunch, which worried her.

' This boy, sigh! Working so hard, he should also know health is wealth. Emma, thinking about Jack, sighed.

On the other hand, Jack was on the verge of mastering the ability to turn off this skill. He discovered that his intense focus on studying was the reason he remembered everything. However, when browsing his phone, he didn't remember everything, although he did remember the majority of the content.

Jack used this information to master the skill of using less focus.

After mastering the skill, Jack glanced at his wall clock. It was 8 p.m., and he was hungry.

Jack went to the dining room; Emma was eating alone while watching a video on her phone.

Jack went to the table and pressed the lock button on her phone. Emma was first surprised, then looked at Jack and smiled.

"Jack, don't work this hard; you have to maintain a routine of eating food on time," Emma smilingly said.

"Alright, I will eat on time from now on," Jack said, then smiled mischievously.

Jack frequently used these exact words while studying for the semester, but he finds it challenging to stick to them.

After talking and eating, both of them went to bed, but Jack couldn't sleep due to his overwhelming excitement, leaving him wondering how to maximize his skill.

He fell asleep after 2 am, woke up at 6 am, and went on a long jog. He wanted to clear his head. After two hours of jogging, he saw a small cart selling hotdogs. After consuming two hotdogs on the spot, he proceeded to buy another two for Emma.

After arriving home, Jack decided to take a bath. After freshening up, he waited for the system to refresh.

[Level :3]

[One breath = 4 euros]

[Use 10,000,000 € to upgrade to Level 4]

[Random Shop: Aura of the Emperor = 500,000€ | 23.57.07]

[Balance: 421,000€]

Jack, looking at the random shop, was disappointed a little because he thought maybe today he would get the same skill card, but he got something called Aura of the Emperor, and it's so costly.

Jack decided to check on the random shop at night. If he can earn enough, he'll buy it; if not, he won't.

Jack then continued his day as it was; without bothering about the system, he went to the library near his university, and after reading for 5 hours, he almost finished his total degree worth of studies.

Jack looked at his watch; the diamond shined on his face as the sun was setting down.

Jack went to the nearest cafe and had a simple lunch, then went home driving his car. He went to the university; he wanted to graduate fast.

He was confident that he could now graduate because he had read nearly every book in his course.

Jack directly went to the president. After hearing that Jack wanted to take the entire course, the President initially doubted Jack, but after seeing his results, he became convinced.

"Alright, we can do that. Can you take an appointment next time you barge in here?" President felt sad; the boy in front of him didn't give a shit about his position.

"Sure, President, What's the procedure?" Jack asked.

"It will take time; I'll arrange it in a month or two. Be prepared though; I don't think this is something you should just impulsively do," President Jack warned.

"Yes, sir, trust me on this." Jack was confident about his knowledge.

After leaving the president's office at the university, Jack went home and started streaming. After that incident, Mockimane went quiet.

At 1 am deep in the night, Jack wanted to sleep but also wanted to see his balance again. If it's around €500K, maybe he'll just buy that thing in the system shop.

[Balance: 530,000€]

Jack purchased the card from a random shop; this time, a pale red card was revealed. One side was [Aura of the Emperor]; written on the other side was a description.

' Aura of the Emperor: Only system hosts can use this card. After using this card, the host will gain Aura of the Emperor (passive).'

"That explain's nothing; fuck did I just got scammed?" Jack murmured. Jack found the fantasy element unappealing, especially considering its high cost.

Well, System gave him money, so he shouldn't just complain, so Jack used the card; just like the previous one, it melted on his temples.

Jack didn't feel anything; he just felt the money was lost, but he didn't dwell on it too much as it was system money. Jack fell asleep calmly.

The next day after waking up, Jack went for a jog with a clear mind, but people were kind of looking at him. As Jack was handsome, he was used to the gazes of people, but this gaze was something different.

Just like yesterday, Jack went to the hotdog stand and grabbed a bottle of water from the outside rack.

"Give me two hotdogs, please," Jack said. After gulping down the water, this cart provided an outside rack for water service; you have to pay, but you can just take it. They specifically designed it for joggers.

"Y...Yes." The hotdog seller looked nervous; his hands were shaking.

Jack didn't notice this; he was just gulping down his water, and after finishing the water bottle, he crushed the bottle with his hand. The sound that came out of it made the hotdog seller flinch.

Jack squinted his eyes at the strange hotdog seller, who appeared nervous for an unknown reason.

The more Jack looked at him, the more nervous the guy became. After a while, the hotdog seller gave the hotdog to Jack with a shaking hand.

After eating and taking a parcel for Emma, Jack left the food cart.

As Jack was leaving, the hotdog seller took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat that was constantly forming on his temples.

"It felt like I was standing in front of a president." The hotdog seller looked at Jack's back and murmured.

Jack, oblivious to his changes, returned home and took a shower. Then he sat in front of the mirror. He felt something was different about him but couldn't pinpoint it.

After a while, Jack checked his system; he was looking for Skill Card.

[Random Shop: Iron Man Suit (Level Max) = 200,000,000 € | 23.57.43]

"Well, Shit."
