"That's cute! My money's worth it!"
"The skirt is too short…" Janice murmured as she pulled the skirt down, trying to hide the garters on her thighs.
"Skirts should be short!" Jasper argued.
"W-where'd you even get this?"
Her question was full of animosity.
"What do you mean? Don't every man have a maid outfit so they are prepared for the day they eventually have a servant?"
"No, they don't!"
"Well, get used to it. You have to wear that whenever you're serving me in this room."
"This is humiliating…!"
"Servant, massage my back."
Jasper then lay down on his belly as he closed his eyes. He can navigate the system through his mind alone.
"Grrrr…!"
Janice has the face of a fierce lion, but her body, in contrast, fulfills her master's wishes by gently massaging his back.
Meanwhile, Jasper has gone through the [Mission] section. Three missions are up for him.

Jasper wondered when these missions popped up. He must've missed them when he was tempering his body for two months.
'Body Tempering Qi Stone? Fuck!' Jasper couldn't help but curse.
Qi Stones are used to speed up one's cultivation. The first cultivators who reached the Qi Refinement Realm found out that there is a lot of Qi in the natural environment, especially in minerals. With certain cultivation techniques, they are able to extract this Qi and store it in these pearl-like stones, creating Qi Stones. Qi Stones are expensive, and even middle-class people would have to save up just to buy one Body Tempering Qi Stone.
Yet, he was being given five of them? Insane! How deep is this cheat?
'Let's calm down and not get ahead of ourselves. I'm just used to this suburban area that I'm used to comparing myself to weak cultivators. There are stronger cultivators out there, and Body Tempering Qi Stones meant nothing to them.'
Jasper reminded himself and calmed down- not! He happily claimed the mission reward with a huge grin on his face.
Not getting ahead of ourselves doesn't mean we have to deprive ourselves of the feeling of satisfaction!
'Isn't he enjoying this too much?'
Just as Janice thought this to herself, Jasper gave another order.
"Get off."
Jasper then sat up, while Janice was glad that it was over. It wasn't physically tiring, but mentally exhausting to be another man's servant.
Janice was wondering what this twisted man was about to do next when small objects appeared out of nowhere onto his hand.
'What the…'
"Are those Qi Stones!? Did they just appear out of nowhere!?"
"As a slave, keep your mouth shut."
"Tsk!"
"Master, are those Qi Stones?" Nyx came out of his coat and asked with a surprised expression.
"Yeah, Body Tempering Qi Stones."
Janice immediately lowered her head upon noticing the snake. She felt angered that she was ignored but towards the Golden Core Beast, even if Jasper doesn't order her, she would stay silent.
"Where did they come from?"
Jasper didn't speak much about the system. Even if it's Nyx,whomo he didn't treat much as a slave, he didn't feel like telling her. At the end of the day, these two are his slaves. Anything could happen. If one day, he wasn't careful and one of these two escaped, their knowledge would bite him back.
"Don't ask too many questions when it comes to this stuff. Just know I can do lots of things."
Nyx nodded and didn't argue.
"Understood, Master."
'The snake is subservient to him. Is that just a trick? Maybe it's not at the Golden Core Realm…' Janice began to doubt Nyx.
In this suburban area with little natural energy, it would be hard to find beasts even at the Qi Refinement Realm, let alone at the Golden Core Realm. Maybe it is just a trick. However, Janice kept it to herself and didn't ask.
More importantly, the Qi Stones. Janice couldn't help but salivate as she stared at the stones in Jasper's hands. If she were to gain three of those, she wouldn't have any problem breaking through to the sixth stage of the Body Tempering Realm, putting her at the top of her university!
"Hmm, you want this?" Jasper played with the stones in his hand.
Janice gulped as more stones appeared on Jasper's hand.
'What the hell is with this man!? How many does he have, and where are they coming from?'
Seeing her confused expression, Jasper realized something and ordered Nyx, "Nyx, will you tell her what you know about me?"
"Should I tell her the story you told your friends, Master?"
"No, I just told them the toned-down story so it would be more believable. Now that Janice has seen so much and doesn't have an option, we can't have her always this ignorant. In the future, she'll handle the orientation of new slaves."
'You have more of those?' Janice became slightly terrified as she thought of the black coins.
"As you wish, Master," Nyx then sligthered out and led Janice to the dining table, "Young girl, let's talk and not bother Master."
"You're free to move and speak," Jasper then removed the previous restraints on Janice as she followed the snake with trembling legs. She glanced at Jasper, not to leave her with this snake alon,e but Jasper ignored her.
Now that they're gone, Jasper returned the Qi Stones to his Dimensional Storage.
The items in his Dimensional Storage are as follows: [Body Tempering Mystery Chest x1], [Enslavement Seal x4], [Body Tempering Qi Stone x300], [Qi Refining Qi Stone x10], [Sovereign's Will Essence x1]
After Jasper claimed the reward for reaching the First Stage Body Tempering Realm, another mission for the second stage popped up, ready to be claimed. Thus, he claimed and claimed the rewards until he reached the mission "Reach Perfected Body Tempering Realm [Optional]" which provided him with 100 Body Tempering Qi Stones, 10 Qi Refining Qi Stones, and one that is called the Sovereign's Will Essence.
It seemed that the
He remembered mobile games like this that have a lot of rewards for newcomers. They made leveling up the easiest at the start so they can pull the players in. Maybe he is at that stage.
Because of this, there is a lot to unpack here.
"Before that, let's give Martin and Justine missions like these first."
He went to their profiles through the system, and there's an option where he can permit them to access the system. Followers have their own rank as well.
"Hehehe, I kind of want to see how they react."
[Mission #1 Completed]
So, that was the last feature Jasper had yet to touch. He then accepted the rewards.
Half an hour later, Nyx returned with Janice behind him. She was in deep thought and glanced at Jasper with both awe and shock.
"You can return now. I'll call you again or text."
Janice silently nodded and returned to her room after changing back to her previous clothing.
Jasper's phone then buzzed, receiving messages one after the other. A new group chat was made.
"Haha, seemed like they noticed they saw the system."
[Martin: Dude, wtf is this? This is cheating!! Run 100km and do 1,000 push-ups to reach Second Stage Body Tempering Realm??? I'll go out RN!]
[Justine: Is this real? 😳]
"Kekekeke"
[Jasper: Test them out if it's real.]
[Martin: U R G]
[Justine: the real G 😭]
Martin then sent a video of himself running in the middle of the day.
[Justine: Where are you 100km is a lot lets run together]
[Martin: I'm bouta go to our middle schoo track.]
[Justine: OTW 🦵]
[Martin: Hmm~ legs]
[Justine: WTF]
[Jasper: WTF]
[Martin: Wat]
[Martin: I wonder if there are girls here.]
Jasper put down his phone and cleared his head. With his ability to change his appearance, how can he infiltrate the high school he's about to enter?
He still wanted to continue his plan with the high school he just enrolled in before he graduated as he's more familiar with school than with anything outside.
First, he needs to assume his new identity. There is less than a week before the break ends and the first day of school comes. He didn't have a lot of time to adjust to a new face, so he had to act fast.
Jasper didn't take long to think. He already had a target in mind.
[Jasper: Guys, can you do me a favor?]
Hours later, Martin and Justine were on the ground and seemed like they were on the verge on dying. They had run 25 kilometers and underestimated the distance, going as fast as they can. Even though they are cultivators, they are just at the first stage of the Body Tempering Realm.
"W-water…"
"... I thought running was easier than this…"
They are currently under the same bridge where Jasper fought with his bullies and almost died.
Right then, a figure appeared from the setting sun's direction.
"Ah, he's here. Can you stand up?"
Martin pulled Justine up. They then fixed and dusted off their clothing.
Soon, the figure was just meters away from them.
"You losers think you can blackmail?"
Liam growled at the two. He came with a heavy and irritated mood. He was just going about his day when Martin texted him, saying that they knew he was Jasper's killer. If he doesn't come to the place, they will report him to the police.
