The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 64

After saying goodnight to Mrs. Remington, Mika headed upstairs to her room.

It was a modest space, about 130 square feet.

The walls were slightly dated, decorated with old movie posters, likely left behind from when Julian's famous director aunt was younger.

Pink plaid curtains hung by the classic outward-opening glass windows.

Next to a wooden desk and chair, an entire bookcase had been cleared out, which Mika had already filled with her textbooks.

On the white wrought-iron princess bed lay Mika's pale pink bedding, and Leona had thoughtfully placed a fluffy light-brown teddy bear near the pillows.

With these simple touches, the room felt cozy and warm.

Mika lay back on the bed and let out a comfortable sigh.

From now on, this was her own private sanctuary.

She closed her eyes and called out to the system in her mind.

"System, report current parameters."

[Host Mika Miller. Current Level: *Average* 5-Star. System Balance: $47,554.00.]

[Current Parameters: Age: 19. Height: 5'6". Weight: 130 lbs. Skin tone: Cool undertone. Charm Value: 63.]

[Would you like to initiate an upgrade?]

"Yes."

[System is converting Charm Value...]

[Congratulations! Upgraded to Average 6-Star!]

[Congratulations! Upgraded to Average 7-Star!]

[Upgrade complete! Current Level: *Average* 7-Star. Balance: $37,554.00. Congratulations, you have earned a Beauty Reward Voucher—Two tickets! Would you like to redeem them?]

The upgrade sequence abruptly stopped. Mika frowned and opened her eyes. "I still have over $30,000 left. Keep upgrading."

[Apologies, Host. Your current balance does not meet the requirement for the next upgrade. Please keep working hard!]

Hearing this, Mika sat up sharply. "Over thirty thousand isn't enough? How much does the next level cost?"

If she progressed to a 'pretty' girl, using her initial estimate of $10,000 to $30,000 per star, the total cost would only be $70,000 to $210,000.

Comparing that to the lavish lifestyles of beautiful women online, that really would be too easy.

A truly stunning girl could get a single suitor to buy her a car worth over two hundred thousand dollars without breaking a sweat.

Not to mention, she wasn't just targeting one guy; she was targeting seven male leads who possessed immense power, status, and wealth.

Asking for too little would practically be an insult to their net worth.

Looking at it that way, the system's sudden price hike almost made sense...

Like hell it did!

Mika punched her duvet furiously.

A hundred grand just for one star in the Pretty tier? Who knew how absurd the prices would get once she actually reached the Succubus tier!

Mika collapsed back onto the bed, completely drained. Suddenly, she kind of wanted to quit.
