Chapter 130 - 130. Checking Out The New Me...Err...System (1/2)
”Trish... Is that you?” I asked and I knew its a bloody wrong question as I felt a pillow suddenly stuck my face. ”What do you think? Ceres is it?” *BADABOOK* the pillow that struck my face was not of goose down feathers but was of a straw-filled one. Who puts the old pillow back there?
”Trish, sorry... Look at me. I've just upgraded the system. I'm sorry, Trish... I thought that I had landed into someone's body again.” I explained because she was the only one that knew of my 'secrets'.
”You were calling out to your mum, and then to other people and then to your mum again and to other people with weird sounding names. You really missed your mum, is it?” she leaned on one side and used her elbow to support herself.
”Yes, I missed her too damn much... By the way, I think I did talk in my dream and in my sleep as well, do I? Hope it doesn't wake you too much.” I innocently replied to her because I got nothing to hide from her at all. ”It's alright, I had to use this hard pillow to absorb your punches in your sleep at one part. Lucky you didn't give me a black eye at all.”
She replied as she threw the heavy straw-filled old pillow away and snuggled close to me. ”What time is it? I've got to prepare breakfast.”
”Almost 5 dear. What are you going to cook today for breakfast and the menus?” Patricia asked as she stood up on the bed and huddled her feet.
”I'm planning rice for breakfast today. I'm going to make a basic plain garlic butter fried rice from the Polynesian menu. With a sunny side up egg and also 2 large sausages.” I replied since lunch and dinner would be rice again.
”I'm planning to make Cheesy Ground Pork Tacos, Braised Beef and Brocolli, Cilantro Lime Chicken and Tempura Prawns. We are going to have a parade of pork, beef, chicken and prawn. Hah hah... It is going to be fun.”
”I'm off to shower now. I would go check on my system once everything is ready.” I said as I bounded for the shower and filled the bathtub with water. Since it's going to be cold water, I imbued it with black fire and it danced on the surface of the water and I dropped 2 Psi energy healing spheres inside it before I poured a bit of body shampoo and make a bubble bath.
After my shower, I changed and head down to the kitchen where I saw that we still have more than half of the rice and that would be great to make some light carbo breakfast for us. After settling the piles of sausages and runny sunny side up eggs, the rice was cooked simply with some fat, butter, salt, pepper and garlic. That's it... A simple fried rice paradise kind of meal for breakfast.
I sat down in the kitchen and called up Ceres and checked my interface. It was fresh and clean and there's an option to hide and visible on the top left-hand corner and I chose to hide. The paper doll was not there but it showed a digital remake of me. There's attributes, traits, profession, skills, map and option.
I checked options and found there a checkbox for all notifications, some notifications and important only notifications. There is a checkbox whether it's silent or buzz on silent and I chose buzz on silent.
Next, I checked the map and found the places that I had visited existed and there is an option to share links with known others. ”That's great, I could get headings for directions with people I knew like the merchants.” I thought to myself as I saw a minimap that shows the current location as Castle Keating-Macleod.
Skills and profession remained unchanged. But the levels in the professions was too scary to mention.

Next is my traits which I knew would a mess since it is not even arranged properly according to my attributes at the moment. It showed a lot of traits in each attribute listing and I have no idea some of them meant. I was born as a warrior or Adventurer in the first place... Huu Huu Huu...

I looked at my traits and there are some things I do not realise and I don't find it useful such as Thievery, History, Religion, Intimidate and Bluff. Can I remove all this because I don't see any 'i' that denotes as information or a question where I could find out more?
