The system replied adorably, "Okay-dokey, Host! I'll check the affection level for conquest target #4, Liam Linden, right away!"
Faye Vaughn couldn't help but snark internally, 'You get one upgrade and suddenly you're using designated numbers?'
The system hummed in agreement. "Host, I'm the all-new System Seven now. You can call me by my name."
Faye Vaughn urged, "Fine, Seven. Hurry up and check."
The system gasped in surprise. "WOW! Host, Liam Linden's affection level is up to 70%! What did you do?"
Faye Vaughn was surprised, too.
70%?
'How did it rise so quickly?'
She hadn't done anything special—all she'd done was keep him company.
"Host, just a little more effort and you might be able to secure Liam Linden completely!" System Seven declared, sounding as if it had been given a shot of adrenaline. "I can already see the dawn of success!"
