35 Trolling Celine (1/2)
By the time you finish composing 25 songs, you realize that the next reward is probably for composing 100 songs.
After that reward, the next reward will be at 1000 songs.
The reward milestone for composing new songs is going up by a factor of 10.
It is impossible for you to write a hundred songs tonight, let alone a thousand songs.
Even if you have all day, composing 100 songs is hard.
This is due to your limited knowledge.
30 songs are probably the limit of what you can remember.
After that, you can only recall a sentence or two β not enough to compose a new song even with the helps from the System.
You struggle to finish 5 more songs to make it a full stack of 30.
It takes longer than the first 25 since you have exhausted your memory, but now you have 30 wonder hits that can launch your recording company to prominent.
You will create more songs with Mark helping you out.
Once you have the songs filed into a nice stack on the desk, you look out your window at Celine.
She is in her room across the walkways that separates the two rooms.
Unfortunately, she is not paying attention to you anymore. Probably becoming long bored of watching you typing on the typewriter and singing to yourself endlessly.
Rather, Celine is watching late night television and having a snack. She is laughing loudly at the joke on the television.
Seeing that is the case, you immediate put the stack of written songs on the desk into your Inventory with a touch.
The moment you did, she snaps towards you and narrows her brown eyes suspiciously.
She obviously didn't see what you did, since it was instant.
Celine picks up a notebook and looks through the sketches before scanning your room.
Honestly, did she just record down where everything is in your room to compare later?
Maybe she is planning on breaking in later and she must know where everything is once she is done.
Or maybe she just sketches down what is on your desk.
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
You go for the simplest explanation.
Nobody is that crazy.
Honestly, just because of a hunch and from what happened in the restaurant, Celine will go to extreme length to prove that she is right β or wrong.
Maybe you should have ear-drop on the Ashley and her boyfriend like other people when they were fucking in the toilet instead of smiling proudly and enjoy your pizza like a culprit.
But then again, it does take some imagination skills to think you are the culprit.
You roll your eyes at her scrutinization and pick up another stash of paper from the ground and place it on the table where the original pile was.
That shuts her up.
You need to take a shower and then some sleep. It is 2 in the morning.
You have been at it for more than 6 hours.
Celine didn't remove her eyes as she watches you undress right in front of her.
She even chuckles here and there, finding your attempt to make her blush amusing.
As you stand butt-naked, you mouth and point at her that it is her turn to undress.
βIn your dream, idiot!β
Celine sticks up her middle finger. She then returns to watching television.
You shrug and head to the bathroom.
Once you inside the bathroom, you check if there is indeed a backdoor like the lady-owner had said.
There is a door on the opposite side of the bathroom.
You head there and open the door to peek outside, finding that it leads to the back of the motel and around to the carpark.
You nod and lock the door again. If you need to use it, you are glad that it is there.
After checking there are no more prying eyes anywhere in the room, you quickly take out the golden chest from your Inventory.
You place the chest over the bathroom sink.
Wishing upon a star that it is not empty, you open it slowly.
Your heart cheers as you take in the glimpse of an apple, shining magnificently in whatever little light of the bathroom.
It is an ability!
You have just earned yourself a new ability!
