The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 8

"What can I do with 10 VIP Points, System?" inquired Arthur.

[You can add new skills with 10 points or upgrade your body or mind.]

[You can do anything as long as your imagination allows it.]

Intrigued, Arthur pondered, "What will happen to me if I add 10 points to the body? It looks like it's worth a try. Alright, let's add 10 VIP points to my body."

[Okay, the system will process immediately.]

Arthur stepped into the stunning bathroom in his room, admiring the grand bathtub made of white marble and gold. He sauntered to the tall mirror, undressing as he went. In that instant, he noticed a remarkable transformation in his physique. A surge of energy ran through his veins, and the fatigue and soreness in his body vanished abruptly.

"I'm curious to see how much progress I have made in my physical transformation," Arthur said thoughtfully. "I think working out could give me some insight."

He then left the room and headed straight to Edna.

"Mr. Gardner," Edna said in awe, "why do I see a change in you? I can't quite put my finger on it, but your face looks brighter and younger, and you have a certain air of handsomeness about you."

Edna was really amazed by Arthur's appearance. He seemed to have been hiding his true good looks beneath a facade of bad appearance. She mused to herself, "He was handsome and cool all along!"

Arthur still wore the same inexpensive white shirt he had on earlier. However, Edna's gaze was drawn to his figure as he walked closer to her, and she felt her heart flutter with admiration.

At that time, Edna was seen changing into a gray executive suit, transforming her look from that of a waitress to a beautiful, professional woman. If one didn't know her identity, one might have mistaken her for the CEO of a big company or the daughter of a wealthy family, as her beauty was extraordinary. She could have been even more stunning with just a few small changes to her look.

"Edna, you look stunning," Arthur said, smiling up at her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gardner," she said apologetically, "these are the most expensive clothes I could afford. Even though I thought they were still very cheap, I'm sure someone would still be able to tell how cheap the clothes I'm wearing this time are."

Arthur then asked for Edna's account number and, without wasting any time, transferred the money he promised her.

"Oh my goodness," Edna exclaimed in amazement, her hands covering her gaping mouth, "Are you really giving me this much money, Mr. Gardner? Even though I haven't done anything for you?"

"Yes, absolutely," Arthur replied reassuringly. "Please use the money to meet your needs. Buy quality things for yourself, treat yourself, buy a new car, and make sure you're always in the best condition to work for me. Is that a deal?"

He looked at Edna with a smile, and she nodded quickly. "I won't let you down," she promised.

Arthur and Edna entered the hotel lobby, ready to depart the luxurious seven-star hotel. Arthur walked confidently with a tall and straight posture, despite his unkempt and inexpensive clothing. His face, however, exuded an air of authority that completely erased any negative impression his clothes may have given.

Meanwhile, Edna followed closely behind with a warm and soft smile, something that was rarely seen by many. She felt a joy she had never experienced before - her life had changed drastically.

Suddenly, Arthur halted as a cleaning service bumped into him, spilling dirty water onto his clothes.

Jacob, the cleaning service manager who had seen the incident, rushed up to Arthur. A middle-aged woman, Lucy, had carelessly spilled dirty water on Arthur's body.

"Lucy, is it too much to ask that you be more careful not to spill this dirty water on the new owner of this hotel?"

Jacob shoved her with his foot, making the 30-year-old woman tumble to the floor.

With a stern look directed at her, Jacob continued, "I have done my best to train you guys but you still embarrass me."
