บท 47: Quadruple Harvesting
In the hazy evening light, the rumble of Mike's car echoed through the garage as he returned to his apartment.
An air of anticipation hung in the air, accompanied by the presence of a sleek and cool motorcycle that silently glided into a neighboring parking space.
As Mike stepped out of his vehicle, a graceful figure followed suit, one long leg gracefully touching the ground before removing a sleek motorcycle helmet.
It was Giselle, her striking presence adding an air of intrigue to the scene.
Curiosity tinged Mike's voice as he spoke in disbelief, "You actually live here too?" His eyes searched Giselle's face for confirmation.
Giselle's lips curled into a knowing smile as she replied, "Yes, right next door to you."
In a fortunate twist of fate, the building where Mike resided had only four apartments on his floor.
One apartment belonged to Mia, another to Mike, and the remaining one was occupied by Giselle.
Pondering their next steps, Mike inquired, "What are your plans now?"
A mischievous glimmer danced in Giselle's eyes as she responded, "Nothing pressing at the moment."
A flicker of excitement crossed Mike's features as he proposed, "Well then, it seems like the perfect opportunity for us to spend some time together!"
Agreeing with a nod, Giselle's expression hinted at her own intrigue.
Little did she know that Mike had an interesting group of friends waiting to meet her, individuals who had left an indelible mark on his life.
The prospect of their encounter filled Mike with a sense of anticipation and excitement.
Just as the two were engrossed in conversation, Mia emerged from her apartment, her presence akin to a long-awaited reunion.
Having learned of Mike's recent triumph over the Jigsaw, Mia had returned to the apartment, eagerly awaiting his return.
With joy radiating from her, Mia greeted Mike with open arms, "Welcome back, Mike!"
Embracing her warmly, Mike reciprocated her enthusiasm, "It's good to see you!"
The bond between them had deepened over time, forged through shared experiences and the protection Mike had provided in the face of danger. [E/N: they just smashed]
Observing the scene before her, Giselle's eyes trailed over Mia, subtly taking in her stature.
A quiet internal appraisal unfolded, comparing herself to the woman beside Mike.
Though lacking more bond with Mike, Giselle's confidence remained intact as she contemplated how to improve her own relationship with Mike.
Seizing the moment, Mike inquired, "Do you know where Giselle lives?"
Curiosity piqued, Mia regarded Mike with intrigue, her curiosity getting the better of her. "I don't know," she admitted, her eyes fixed on him.
A mischievous grin appeared on Mike's face as he revealed, "You'd never guess—Giselle lives right next door to me!"
A sense of wonder tinged his words, their proximity in the apartment complex adding another layer of intrigue to their snowballing relationship.
Mia's smile widened as she responded, "That's fantastic! We've hit the neighbor jackpot with just four apartments on our floor. No noisy neighbors or crowded hallways to deal with!"
Giselle chuckled and added, "And we can always rely on each other for some emergency baking supplies. It's like having our own mini pantry next door!"
They both burst into laughter, their joyful spirits contagious.
As they walked towards Mia's apartment, Mia nudged Giselle playfully and said, "You know, we should mess with Mike a bit. Let's tell him we throw legendary parties here every weekend!"
Giselle grinned mischievously. "Oh, yes! And let's come up with tales of mythical creatures lurking in the building at night. Poor Mike won't know what he's missing!"
Their laughter echoed through the hallway. With their playful nature and a shared sense of humor, Mia and Giselle continued their lively conversation, leaving Mike behind all alone.
"Uhm.. Hello girls? I'm still right here you know… You don't want me coming?... Alright, I'll excuse myself to my apartment then.." Mike calls out to them but seems like nobody was paying attention to him.
Meanwhile, Mike retreated to his apartment, collapsing onto the sofa with a sigh of relief.
The recent encounter with Jigsaw had left him on edge, but now, with the ordeal behind him, a wave of relaxation washed over him.
It was time to unwind and reflect on his newfound skills and abilities.
Turning his attention to the system, Mike observed his gains from the recent trials.
His eyes perused the character profile, a comprehensive summary of his strengths, skills, and favorability ratings with various individuals. It was a testament to his growth and the bonds he had formed along the way.

Mike skimmed through the profile, his eyes widening with excitement as he saw the array of skills that could be extracted.
He found himself faced with a delightful predicament: having four individuals from whom he could learn valuable abilities.
The possibilities were seemingly endless, and his mind buzzed with anticipation.
Suddenly, unable to contain his enthusiasm, Mike leaped up from the sofa, shouting, "Eureka!"
However, his sudden burst of energy caught him off guard, causing him to trip over a stray cushion and stumble forward.
With a resounding crash, he accidentally collided with his coffee table, sending a jumble of books and a half-filled mug of coffee flying through the air.
Rubbing his slightly bruised ego and surveying the mess he had unintentionally created, Mike couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation.
"Well, that's one way to make an entrance," he mused, shaking his head in both amusement and disbelief.
Gathering himself, he proceeded to clean up the scattered books and shards of broken ceramic, muttering, "Note to self: less exuberant jumping in the future."
After restoring order to his living room, Mike returned to the task at hand, determined to make a well-informed decision about which skills to extract.
The mishap may have momentarily disrupted his composure, but it hadn't dampened his excitement.
With a renewed sense of focus, he carefully evaluated each skill, weighing the potential benefits they could bring to his already impressive repertoire.
As he considered Amanda's unwavering favorability for him, Mike realized it stemmed from their shared experience of captivity and the subsequent journey to seek revenge.
It turned out that Amanda had a Stockholm syndrome effect on Jigsaw before.
Amanda had suffered at the hands of Jigsaw and Hoffman, and Mike had been her guiding light, helping her rediscover her emotions.
So when Amanda finally recovered from Stockholm syndrome and finally sober, there was only eternal hatred for the two of them!
That's why in the end, Amanda chose to die with Jigsaw and Hoffman.
Regarding the nails used during their confrontation, Mike speculated that they were remnants of Amanda's expertise in mechanism techniques, prepared for various situations.
As for Jigsaw's favorability, Mike attributed it to his ability to navigate the games and find loopholes. Jigsaw respected Mike's talent for survival and deduction.
Reflecting on the impact of the TV series on Amanda's healing process, Mike recognized their ability to inspire hope and foster emotional growth.
After finalizing his skill choices, Mike felt a headache looming.
Then BOOM his mind exploded with a lot of mechanism learning skills.
After all, Amanda's [Top-Level Mechanism Designer] has been upgraded to the[God-Level Mechanism Designer].
Then Jigsaw's [Unique Mechanism Master], so Mike's influx of knowledge for making trap machines continues to emerge, the skill also has some sort of comprehensive use fighting skills and some ways to use a gun.
Gordon's [Advanced-Level Medical Skills] is next and finally Rajesh's knowledge of [Top-level Astrophysics], Mike felt like his head is filled with UrAnus, its exploding.
Summing up the rewards of his journey, Mike concluded that carrying a pistol at all times would be imperative in the future.
With a firm grip on his firearm, he contemplated the countless problems that had been resolved with a single shot—power cut, lock, broken.
The pistol served as his master key, capable of unlocking a myriad of obstinate challenges and traps.
Just then, Mia and Giselle, who appeared to have developed a bond over time, entered Mike's apartment.
Grinning with satisfaction, Mike exclaimed, "Let's go shopping. We're throwing a party tonight, and we'll invite John and Dom. They truly deserve our thanks, especially John, who stood by me as a steadfast guardian for an entire month."
Anticipation filled the night as Mike, Mia, and Giselle embarked on their shopping excursion, their hearts brimming with joy and gratitude.
