4 Chapter 4 New Features? (1/2)
As if she could read his mind, the corner of her lips lift up a little as she smirks at him. She then introduces herself as Dr. Angelina Garland. After doing so, she proceeds to inform him that the incident that he was involved in is being swept under the rug by several powerful organizations and that anyone in the United States that was injured in what the media has dubbed, The Fall. Jake laughs in his head at the thought of several specific gamers who probably got excited over nothing until he realized what happened to him may have happened to others too.
That thought caused him to panic a little that maybe the government might try to experiment on him but that thought was immediately squashed. Especially when he thought of the ”powerful organizations” that were behind the massive cover up that was going on at the moment of the people directly effected by the meteorites.
”System, is there anyway that you know if there is anyone like me? Someone who also has a system?” Jake asked tentatively in his head while Dr. Garland checks his vitals.

Jake's change of facial expressions doesn't go unnoticed by Dr. Garland. She didn't say anything but she did notice that he looked pretty masculine with that concentrated look on her face. She scolded herself internally, ”How can you think of something like that, Angelina? He is your patient and more than 10 years younger than you.”
Jake unfortunately didn't see the blush on her face because the system responded to him.
[Intelligence +1]
It took Jake only a second to realize that the reason as to why his intelligence increased by a point was because he accurately processed something. The system realized this and in response to his thoughts, it said,
