Chapter 47: Chapter 47
"Tons, tons, tons~" Lip poured a large glass of water.
Replenishing the body with water after exercise always feels great.
At that moment, Lip felt refreshed and invigorated.
He turned around and looked at the panting figure of Mandy. The more he stared, the more satisfied he became. This girl was perfect—the mythical white tiger was indeed well-deserved!
Ever since he discovered he had entered her soul, Lip no longer smoked after workouts.
After all, it wasn't good for the child, and he didn't want to risk having multiple deformed children.
Just as Lip was about to go to bed and cuddle Mandy, the familiar gentle female voice sounded in his mind again.
[Dear host, would you like to conduct the legendary lottery now?]
"Yes."
[Congratulations on receiving the golden legendary special item—"12 Family Expansion Cards."]
["Family Expansion Card": Any designated person can be added to the family as a member. Members who use this card to join the family will provide an additional 10% unity.]
"Haha, I'm simply the emperor of Europe!" Lip was overjoyed.
With the "Family Expansion Card," the tangled problems Lip had been facing were instantly solved.
Fiona, Ian, Carl, Debbie, and Liam could now become part of the family.
Without hesitation, Lip used five "Family Expansion Cards."
In fact, Lip had briefly thought about binding 12 super bosses to his side, but he reconsidered.
It would be like playing a game for the sake of speed, rather than enjoying the experience.
Besides, Lip didn't want to abandon his brothers and sisters. They were his true family.
Lip opened the "Super Family Genealogy" interface.
[Gallagher (South Chicago)]
[Family level: Level 1 (better than nothing)]
[Patriarch: Philip Gallagher]
[Direct line – wives: 2 (Karen Jackson, Mandy Milkovich); children: 3 (Karen's unborn child, twins from Mandy).]
[Collateral – Brothers and sisters: 5 (Fiona, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam).]
Technically, a family should have parents, but with parents like Frank and Monica, it was better off without them.
Lip opened the attribute interfaces for his five siblings.
He wanted to adjust their attributes.
Because if one person cheats and benefits, then everyone cheats and enjoys it!
"Fiona's other attributes are fine, but why is her wisdom only 3?" Lip complained. "No wonder after Jimmy disappeared, her judgment worsened, and her mind became more confused."
"Forget it, this family will still rely on Fiona for a while until I grow up. Let's add some points to her first!"
As Lip added points, Fiona's "Wisdom" increased from 3 to 6.
Next, Lip opened Ian's attribute interface.
"No wonder this kid has bipolar disorder—his mental attributes are so low!" Lip added points without hesitation. Ian's "Spirit" increased from 1 to 6.
Lip then opened Carl's attributes and laughed aloud.
"This is why people say Carl didn't do well in school and looks like a fool!"
Lip added points without saying a word. Carl's "Spirit" rose from 2 to 6, and his "Wisdom" went from 1 to 6.
Next, Lip examined Debbie's attributes.
Each of Debbie's attributes was 5.
To put it nicely, her talents were balanced, but to be blunt, she lacked any real strengths.
Unlike others with six diverse attributes, she was a "hexagonal omnipotent waste," just above average in everything.
"Hey~" Lip muttered, then proceeded to add points to each of Debbie's attributes.
Finally, Lip opened Liam's attribute interface.
Within moments, he was stunned.
Liam, still a baby, had attributes ranging from 6 to 7. It was amazing!
But Lip soon felt reassured, knowing Liam's potential.
Lip decided not to add points for now. When Liam grew up, he would naturally realize his weaknesses. Besides, the background data modifier was in Lip's hands; he could change it anytime.
Suddenly, Lip thought about checking his own attributes.
But after searching for a while, he couldn't find the small triangle next to his name.
"Farke!" Lip cursed aloud. "Damn it, the attributes of family members can be adjusted, but the patriarch's cannot. It makes no sense!"
Lip was furious.
"This damn broken system is targeting me!"
Looking at the remaining 78 attribute points, Lip felt a huge loss.
It felt like having a huge sum of money that anyone could use, but as the owner, he couldn't access it without approval.
The more Lip thought about it, the angrier he became.
Suddenly, the system's familiar prompt sounded again:
[Dear host, would you like to receive the reward of "Good Wife and Mother" now?]
"Needless to say, is this system brain-dead?!" Lip muttered in his mind, embarrassed.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully received US$5,000 per person per month, totaling US$55,000 in living expenses. The student fee has been distributed to your space bracelet.]
"Wow! So much!" The anger in Lip's heart vanished, replaced by a sense of pleasure.
"System, I sincerely apologize for what I just said!" Lip thought to himself. "Could this mean I've turned a corner? It's not because you gave me too much!"
Lip looked at Mandy again. She was still a "little girl," but clearly, a phoenix that could lay golden eggs!
"Lip~" Mandy called softly.
Hearing this, Lip climbed into bed gently, thinking: "Does this girl still want it?"
"I want to sleep with you in my arms!" Mandy said delicately.
Lip gently pulled Mandy into his arms, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.
As the night deepened, dreams gradually descended.
