Chapter 47: In the configuration options screen 02,
Little Joe was anxious and, at the same time, felt a bit of fear. After all, any changes made to that system would reflect directly on him, and since he had already suffered several unfair demotions, he certainly wouldn't withstand others if they happened.
Meanwhile, Ylsean kept her eyes firmly on the screen, reading and rereading repeatedly:
>>> Configuration options for administrator <<< 02 >>>
Access code required, exclusive area for dominant or administrator.
In case of a password error, the system will restart, and any progress will be lost.
_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/
Ylsean counted several times the number of spaces in that access requirement: there were nine. Now, without any doubt, she typed while recapping some of her thoughts.
'According to my analysis, these 18 systems in particular are the most important, probably used by all the nobles, such as baron, viscount, count, duke, princes, and certainly by the king and queen as well. As my father told me, in our country, there are 11 barons, 2 viscounts, 1 count, 1 duke, 2 princes, and 1 king and queen. So, the access code might be:'
1️⃣ - 8️⃣ - 1️⃣ - 1️⃣ - 2️⃣ - 1️⃣ - 1️⃣ - 2️⃣ - 2️⃣
{'User Joe, you have accessed >> > Configuration options for administrator <<< 02 >>>}
O(^_^)O _Uhhuu! We did it!_
The three of them shouted, forgetting that it was still early morning and they might disturb someone on the farm.
{As a reward for your daring and skill, you've unlocked the option to enable one of the first two skills up to the extremely useless and below levels.}
"Hey, brother-in-law, what the crap is this about 'up to useless level'? Is there really something below that? I can't believe it."_ — Dimmy complained, implying that he would be the one at a disadvantage.
}Alert in configuration options for administrator{
'Is there a risk of this blowing up, bro-in-law? If not, then why the alert?'
Seeing the fear in little Joe's frightened eyes, Ylsean didn't hesitate and slapped her brother on the back:
'If you're going to make stupid comments, please leave, Dimmy. And as for you, Joe, don't worry, I can sense if there's any danger behind these messages.'
Joe smiled, and before he could hide it, Ylsean noticed her brother staring at her, admiring the cute face of her small but very precious friend Joe.
'Ugh! Look at the screen, not at me, you silly brother.'
<<<Any enabled option remains undetectable until level 3.01>>>
'Do you know what that means, little Joe?'
'Yes, Ylsean, that there are powerful and dangerous people looking for anyone who has a skill above that value. But why haven't they come after me?'
'It might be because you acquired your skills through your own efforts and not through a system.' — Dimmy replied wisely.
'Yeah, that makes sense. Congratulations, my brother, you're finally not being dumb.' — Ylsean teased, while Dimmy stuck out his tongue, teasing her back.
'You're just jealous.'
{...Enable Dialogue Skill <<<system enabled>>> level 0.50 Conversation with system.}
'Look at this, Joe, you already gained a skill just by talking to the system.'
" Lightning and thunder! What a pathetic skill this is. I'm not even going to say anything. What on earth is a conversation skill? You just open your mouth and talk."
'There you go, Dimmy, back to being the dumb one as usual.'
Little Joe just laughed; he didn't understand as much as Ylsean, but it really did seem like a somewhat useless skill.
'Why are you laughing, bro-in-law? Do you think I'm wrong?'
Afraid to upset Ylsean, Joe went next to Dimmy and whispered:
'I could be wrong, but I agree with you, Dimmy.'
So, the two started laughing, leaving Ylsean clueless about the two of them.
[...Screen Creation Y/N...Tyrant... Difficult... Normal... Easy... Extremely Easy... Micro... Utterly Useless and Extremely Easy Subsystem.]
'This one looks cool!' — the three said until they read the end.
'Well, that's what we see up there, at the start of the screen:'
['As a reward for your daring and skill, you've unlocked the option to enable one of the first two skills up to the extremely useless and below levels.']
'Let's analyze this, guys. If you could choose from all of them, Dimmy, which level would you choose?'
'The tyrant level, of course. Best score, more XP, more skills, everything better...'
'And you, my little Joe?' — Ylsean asked, realizing that she had inadvertently started exerting some control over Joe.
'I would choose the... Utterly Useless and Extremely Easy Subsystem.'
'Bro-in-law, don't be dumber than me,' — Dimmy warned. 'And you, sis, what would you choose?'
'If it were available, I'd choose the easy one, but since it's not, I'll make the same choice as Joe.'
'Oh! So you're really dating this short boy?' I thought it was just a joke. But how can you choose the most useless title of all?_
'Hey, Dimmy, it's the only one described as utterly useless and extremely easy. With such an exaggerated title, how bad can it be? And if it's for me, the easier, the better. If it turns out to be as utterly useless as it claims, I just won't use it. Don't forget that you're leaving, and I'll be here alone. If I pick something described as normal, difficult, or tyrant, with my current abilities, how useless will I be? But something that at least has the word "easy" might help me a little.'
O(⊙_⊙)O 'A shorty like you can express yourself like that?'
'Seeing it from that angle, I completely agree with him, Dimmy. The easier, the lower the risk. Even if it takes him a while to recover his combat skills, it's still a good thing.'
'If it's that way, Joe, I think you're right. Let's go to the next one.'
[...Skill Creation Y/N...Only for work... Cleaning... Transport... Construction, etc.]
'Sorry to say this, Joe, but what a trash system, man. There's no combat skill, no weapons, no defense. What the...'
'Calm down, Dimmy. You're going to end up offending our Joe.'
'Our Joe?' — Dimmy asked.
'Yes, our Joe. Or are you no longer his friend because you didn't find something you could take advantage of? He's a good boy, and now he only has us. Soon we'll be on our way home, and he'll be alone, fighting to survive. Would you give up your place as the baron's son to stay here and face the difficulties he has to face just to survive?'
'No, sis! You know I don't have that much courage.'
'Then, Dimmy, don't pave this boy's dreams with more thorns and stones than he already has in his path. He's strong because he needs to be strong. He didn't choose to lose his father and mother, nor did he choose this crazy system that came from who knows where to interfere in his life. But since it happened, the choices he has to make from now on belong only to him. We are here just to support him, not to point out the path he should take.'
'Alright, alright, sis! I get it, now let him make his choice.'
Little Joe went with his chubby finger and, without hesitation, chose:
[...Screen Creation Y...xxxxxx... xxxxxxx...xxxxxx...xxxxx...xxxxxxxxxxxxxx...xxxxx...Subsystem.]
Done, his choice was made. Now it was just a matter of waiting to see what would happen."
