My Idle System

Thinking that he might finally be introducing the girl he liked, Annabelle immediately shifted her attention away from the drama she was watching. After all, this was a lot more important.

She even rose from her lying position and sat properly, motioning for him and patting the spot next to her on the sofa for him to come and sit.

Christian, now facing his sister sitting next to him, who was looking at him with a weird gaze, started to wonder how he should bring up the subject.

In the end, he decided to go in a roundabout way.

"Sis, you know how much I like my current lifestyle, and because of that, I didn\'t want to go to university. Instead, I started learning trading and now became somewhat successful."

"So, now there\'s another thing I need to make a choice about. It\'s also for my comfort, but it will require a lot of effort when I start. I\'ll have to work all day long, for who knows how long, until it\'s done and I can be free, with even more comfort at that time."

"So, should I choose to do it? Or not?"

Annabelle, hearing the riddle-like question, couldn\'t help but wonder what all this was about. Her mind raced with possibilities, trying to decipher the meaning behind his words and what decision he was grappling with.

Then she was suddenly struck by inspiration.

\'Could it be that he wants to skip the girlfriend phase and go directly to the married state?\'

\'That\'s why he needs a lot of time to develop their relationship until she gives her consent?\'

\'And after they marry, he will feel freer since he won\'t need to woo her anymore, and with a wife by his side, he will be more comfortable?\'

Annabelle, misunderstanding the situation, made many conjectures and constructed an entire story in her mind. Even feeling troubled about the names of their future children.

With mixed feelings about how her presence alone wasn\'t enough for her younger brother, she finally said cautiously.

"Well, I don\'t know the whole story since you didn\'t provide the details, but do you really need to spend all your time working on what you are talking about?"

\'Like, is there really a need to work that hard? You can just take things slowly as you get to know each other.\'

"You can just do what you\'re thinking about when you feel comfortable, using the time you think is suitable."

\'That vixen should be the one who is more eager and willing to spend more time to get your attention; after all, she can\'t find someone like you anywhere.\'

Annabelle felt her brother really had a long way to go. Troubled, she wasn\'t sure if she should give him lessons on interacting with girls, suggesting that a more reserved nature, rather than being too eager, was nearly always better with women.

Christian, hearing what his sister said and unaware of all the misunderstandings she had conjured, was suddenly reminded of something.

\'Why do I need to work that hard, anyway?\'

Christian felt a little stupid for not thinking to take his time while creating the AI.

There was no need to hurry after all; he could just set aside some time daily for it, and over time, he could even gradually reduce that time.

Feeling as if a burden had finally been lifted from him, Christian was quite happy. So this time, without his sister\'s initiation, he unconsciously hugged her tightly while expressing his gratitude.

"Sis, you\'re really genius."

Being hugged by her brother for what felt like a long time and feeling moved, Annabelle immediately returned the hug, wrapping her arms around his back. However, she wasn\'t sure whether to feel happy about this action or sad that it was prompted by another woman.

So filled with mixed feelings, she hugged him even more tightly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

After hugging his sister for a short time, Christian finally released his arms from around her awkwardly and excused himself, heading back to his room.

Leaving Annabelle feeling lost and experiencing a sense of emptiness, all alone in the moment.

…

Christian who now had finally made his decision, needed to make a proper plan for the action of his coming days.

He thought things through again, and what he actually needed to do was apparently simple: he could start the tasks in the order of priority he had in mind.

He would proceed with AI programming as scheduled in the Idle Practicing.

Tomorrow, he would begin by preparing the room, as its current state was not suitable for setting up the equipment. And as soon as the room was ready, he would buy the equipment and set it up.

He would also buy every book he could find about AI programming for the Idle Practicing, and buy some for software, and security programs, which he would study on his own this time.

As for how he would work, he would first start with the software, followed by the security program, and finally begin the AI creation.

Then came the hacking of police site, their data base, or hacking in general.

After thinking things through, Christian concluded that hacking itself couldn\'t be detected if he was overly cautious. However, if there were any data left on his device, that could pose a problem if something happened later.

So, if he wanted to use hacking to obtain some information, it would be fine; after all, his hacking skills were still improving and would soon become advanced. Christian actually felt that even now, his hacking program skill was overpowered, as he even sensed that his current knowledge material was starting to run out.

However, since he hadn\'t used his hacking skill nor had any examples to compare it to, he didn\'t know exactly how it measured up against the professionals around him. That instinct he thought could apply to all skills seemed to work only for trading skills, or perhaps it was only for the advanced skills.

As for the thought that it only applied to skills with limited materials, that idea had already been dismissed.

Anyway, as long as he didn\'t take unnecessary risks or think too highly of himself, leading to amateur mistakes, he would never get caught with his hacking.

So, his plans to hack the police site had never changed. It was just that for other things, like obtaining the data needed for AI creation, some programming knowledge that certain companies would monopolize and not publish, he would need to wait until he finished the security program.

Now that Christian had sorted out his plan, he was suddenly reminded of Eva.

He didn\'t know why, but every time he said it would be soon, something would come up and cause delays in the end.

It had been a little over a month since then, and he thought he would have at least tried to talk to her once by now, but in reality, nothing had happened at all.

And now, with all these things happening, he had actually decided to delay it even further, as he wanted to at least have a relaxed mind when he saw her, if that was even possible in the first place.

While he understood there was no real need to feel urgent, and when it came down to it, he also realized, after talking with his sister, that he wasn\'t pressed for time or anything in the end.

It was just that Christian had previously held the mindset that he needed to complete all his work as quickly as possible before allowing himself to rest. However, he realized there was no need to rush after all, he could take a step back and approach things at his own pace

But, it was simply his nature; he felt more comfortable with at least some tasks completed. As even his attitude would be different then, becoming more relaxed, nothing more than that.

Then there was his attraction to Eva, which, after not seeing her for such a long time, was actually no longer enough for him to step out of his comfort zone.

Maybe his personality was somewhat fickle, but he was initially attracted to her appearance and the vibe she gave off. He hadn\'t really gotten to know her or her personality at all.

So, he plans to see how things unfold with his current tasks, like at least complete setting up the equipment in the next few days, and after that, he will reassess the situation and consider what steps to take regarding his plans with her.

Christian, now feeling much more at ease, concluded that all the problems that had frustrated him at first were, in fact, not that complex. So, after talking with his sister and realizing he could take his time with them, he quickly came to terms with everything.
