The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 42

[The system is exchanging Charm Points...]

[Congratulations! Upgraded to Average Girl 4-Stars!]

[Congratulations! Upgraded to Average Girl 5-Stars!]

[Upgrade complete! Current Level: *Average Girl* 5-Stars. Balance: $25.00. Congratulations on receiving Beauty Reward Vouchers: 2!]

Each tier was divided into seven stars.

A 5-Star Average Girl basically meant she was in the upper-middle range of ordinary.

It was the kind of baseline where, with a little makeup, she could easily be considered quite pretty.

Mika stood in front of the mirror in the rehab room, watching the subtle but undeniable shift in her aura. She didn't hesitate.

"Redeem twenty pounds of weight loss."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a faint white glow began to emanate from her body, accompanied by a light, tingling sensation that felt incredibly relieving.

Ten minutes later, the system notification chimed again.

[Congratulations Host. Beauty enhancement successful!]

[Current Parameters: Age: 19. Height: 5'6". Weight: 132 lbs. Complexion: Luminous and fair. Charm Points: 63.]

The moment the system finished speaking, Mika felt a sudden chill against her stomach.

A second later, her gray sweatpants slid right past her hips, dropping unceremoniously to her upper thighs—

She yanked her pants up in a panic, hurriedly tied the drawstring tight, and instinctively looked around.

Thankfully, the rehab room door was shut, and there was no one in sight.

She breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention back to the mirror.

In the past, she had always upgraded while hiding in her dorm bed behind the privacy curtains.

She had usually been wearing a loose nightgown during those times, so the physical sensation of losing weight hadn't been this drastic.

This was the first time she had lost weight while standing up, and she hadn't expected her pants to literally fall off.

Still, the feeling was rather magical.

After all, she had only ever experienced the struggle of not being able to pull her pants *up*. She had never had them be so loose they fell down.

The thick layers of fat that used to resemble a swimming tube were completely flat.

Although Mika unfortunately seemed to have a rather straight waistline with minimal curve, such a drastic transformation in such a short period still filled her heart with an indescribable, bittersweet joy.

It felt so good just to be an average girl.

She sighed inwardly with genuine appreciation. Just as she raised her hand to touch her stomach, suddenly—

"Mika?"

The rehab room door was violently shoved open from the outside.

Even though Mika immediately dropped the hem of her shirt, the person walking in still caught a blinding flash of her pale, flat waist.

Mika turned her head in a panic, ready to curse them out for having zero manners.

But when she met the young man's stunned gaze and took in his completely battered, pathetic state, she froze.

"Jude Jensen?"

"Did you fall off a cliff yesterday or something?"
