Chapter 200 – He wants to meet Haruhime?
Chapter 200 – He wants to meet Haruhime?
The next day, I spent most of my time writing. I wrote until night fell. In the end, I finished Overlord's second volume and wrote part of the fifth volume of Re: Zero.
"But I feel like everything is so boring..." My life had stabilized. Now I had money, women, and strength… There was nothing else for me to do, and that made every day feel repetitive.
As I stared at the ceiling and sighed, something came to mind.
"Wait, didn't I gain a new skill called 'Technology EX'?" Using this skill could be fun.
So, I opened the system and searched for the skill. When I thought about it, a system message explained its function.
[Allows the user to acquire any technology.]
That was the only information the system provided. The skill allowed me to acquire any technology… but how was I supposed to do that? I couldn't just recreate a computer or something.
"System, will you help me build a computer or something like that?" I asked but received no response.
Next, I tried imagining some technology in my mind. First, I pictured something simple like a fan, then a calculator, but nothing appeared.
"Yeah, it wouldn't be that easy..."
If I could create technology by imagining it, that would be too convenient.
"Should I go to my old room and check my computer? Maybe there's something useful there. I could use Amazon or something."
Excited, I left the room. It was already dark outside.
Hestia was sitting in the living room, and she called out to me before I could leave.
"Luan, where are you going?"
"I'm heading to my old room, where my computer is."
"Are you going to use it to write again? Weren't you writing in your room using paper?"
"I'm not going there to write. I want to test something."
"Can I go with you?"
"Huh? Sure." I replied, and Hestia flashed a big smile. Then, we headed to my room together.
As soon as we entered, I looked around to see if anything had changed. But nothing had—it was the same. My computer was still in its usual spot, my bed, my bathroom, nothing had changed.
Hestia sat on the bed while I sat on the chair in front of the computer.
"What's going on? You seem like you're in a hurry."
"I told you I wanted to test something, right?"
"Yeah, you did."
"It's just that I received a new skill. And I want to test it. I think the key is my computer."
"A new skill? What do you mean?"
"This computer came from where I was born. I told you and Lili about it before, right? This new skill might allow me to create other computers and things from my homeworld. But I'm just running a test, unsure if it will work."
"Wait, are you saying you might be able to create more computers like this one?!"
"I'm not sure yet, but I think so."
I turned on the computer and opened the browser. Google was working normally, but I could still only search for things from this world, like dungeon floors, monsters, potions, etc.
Then, suddenly, a new window popped up on the screen, followed by a system message.
[The skill 'Technology EX' has been activated.]
On the newly opened window, there was only one message.
[Spend your points here!]
It looked like a spam ad, flashing in rainbow colors, desperately trying to catch attention.
Aside from that message, the page was completely blank.
The URL read: /TecnoEX"
I almost burst out laughing when I saw it.
"What is it? Is it working?"
"Yeah, I think so."
I scrolled down the page and was surprised to find an extremely simple shop. A shop that used my points. My available points were even displayed in the lower right corner of the page.
[1167]
Next to the points, there was a "Shopping Cart" button.
"This could be fun."
The shop had nothing but technological products. There were no parts to build things—just finished products. Computers, cell phones, fans, air conditioners, and even flashlights were being sold.
As I thought more, I felt this wasn't worth it.
"I don't even have electricity in this world. How am I supposed to power anything outside my room?"
That's when I noticed that the system was selling a power generator.
However, the generator alone cost over 10,000 points.
I immediately closed the page and pretended I hadn't seen anything.
"So?" Hestia asked.
"Forget it. It's not going to work."
I don't miss these things anyway...

*Ishtar's POV*
"You finally woke up?"
When I woke up, Luan was nowhere to be found. The only ones in the room were Aisha and me. I pulled the blanket around my body as memories of what had happened flooded my mind.
Just thinking about it made my body heat up.
"Where's Luan?" I asked.
Aisha stared at me for a few seconds before replying. "He left as soon as you passed out. I didn't talk to him much, but he's probably home by now."
"I see..."
"Are you feeling okay? Did Luan overdo it?" Aisha asked.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. Did Luan say anything before leaving? Did he say when he'd be back?"
"The only thing he mentioned was that he wanted to meet with Haruhime."
The moment I heard Aisha's words, my heart raced.
What do you mean he wants to see Haruhime? I didn't even know he knew her.
Is he interested in her?
Is it because she's beautiful?
"Why does he want to meet her?"
"He didn't tell me. He just said he wanted to get to know Haruhime. He told me to pass that message to you."
"That's impossible."
"..."
"If Luan meets her, he'll want to do that with her. And I don't want her getting in my way!"
"If you don't let Luan meet her, he'll ignore you again. Let him meet her—it'll be fine."
"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue and started biting my nails.
Aisha kept staring at me, so I immediately ordered her out of the room.
Once she left, I started thinking about what I should do next.
What do you think?
