Chapter 79: Sex is Power!
Being a Cheat Mode Host is pretty great.
It's a server just for me, modes just for me, and it's packed with things where I'm the only one making a fucking profit.
But there's just one thing.
If I really had to pick just one drawback of being a Host, it would be the Point system.
It's great to just click and raise Mode Levels with Points without putting in any effort.
But why?
Why the hell do I have to click and use Points to raise my stats too?
"Ah, fuck. My Points."
There was indeed a mode like this.
Since it said Mode Level, I fucking assumed I'd only be clicking to raise the Mode Level with Points.
But I should have noticed something was off back then.
Setting aside raising the Mode Level with Points, why doesn't using the mode grant any Experience?
I haven't had sex that much, but I've still done it a decent number of times, yet the Sex Sex Sex Mode Level is still 1.
In the end, doesn't this mean that while this mode lets you solve everything with Points, it conversely blocks you from raising it manually?
"Fuck... what about stats..."
Wouldn't it be nice if they went up through effort as well as Points?
Actually, I don't really have a leg to stand on here.
At the very beginning.
That is, when I was writing the 100,000-Hour Rule review, I definitely included this in my feedback.
I asked them to make it easier to get stats, like just clicking to get them with Points, because raising stats was too damn hard.
They were reflecting that feedback to a T, but...
They could have at least given me a heads-up.
Well, since I hadn't put any special effort into raising my stats, it didn't really matter. Honestly, using Points on low-level base stats is a waste, and while raising them directly isn't that hard, considering this is reality, raising them with Points might actually be more convenient.
In a game, days are short, so it looks like you can raise them in no time, but in reality, you have to live through all 24 hours of the day. In the later stages, you might have to spend months just to raise a single level.
Up until now, I didn't really have to care.
Whether my base stats went up or not.
Because I had been steadily raising my stats through various elements, including Base Invincibility.
Even if my base stats were still 2/1/1/1, my stats inside the Safe Base were at least over 13, so I hadn't even thought about needing to raise them.
But now, I've maxed out Base Invincibility to Level 10.
Even if it can be enhanced, the quest for it hasn't appeared yet. If I want to raise my stats further, it makes sense to turn my attention to my base stats now.
"Hmm."
It still feels like a waste to use Points to raise stats, though.
Because I had already confirmed while leveling up the Safe Base that the correct answer is to prioritize leveling up Cheat Modes with Points.
Even if the 1+1 event—where 1 Point could raise 2 Cheat Mode levels—was over, I still had to raise my Hunting Cheat Mode level to 10 first.
If only my stats could be raised with Normal Mode Points, I wouldn't have to worry about this.
But the problem is, that's not how it works.
In the end, it was a choice between the two.
And that problem was solved by the newly acquired 19+ Cheat Mode.
"Ha, fuck. So you're giving it to me like this, huh?"
Of course, doing it this way slightly diminishes the prestige of the name "Cheat Mode."
Only being able to raise stats with Points felt like a loss, and it was somewhat unfair.
So they twisted it and gave it to me like this.
While giving me exactly what I wanted.
Since I kept singing about sex, sex, sex, they were telling me to either raise my base stats with Points, or fill up the effort-based stat increases through sex instead of working out.
"What a funny bastard."
To be honest, I did feel a bit called out.
I had wanted sex so badly and had spammed nothing but sex-related feedback, but once the update made sex possible on the multi-server, I hadn't actually gone as crazy for it as I thought I would.
In my imagination, I had plenty of fantasies about grabbing any pretty girl walking down the street, raping her, having bondage sex, and pounding her like in a porn video until she fell for me and begged me to fuck her. But once it became reality, it felt a bit awkward to go that far.
It's not because I'm a loser.
Just looking at how I pulled down my pants and had Kim Ji-hee suck my cock in the middle of the street when we first met, I was fully prepared to just go for it without caring about anything.
It wasn't that I was hesitating because it was reality; it was a different issue.
"Right... I should have sex too..."
A more fundamental issue.
Sexual desire, one of the three major human desires, is certainly important, but to me, the desire for the zombie apocalypse is even more important.
You could call it my personal fourth major desire, and since this was my top priority, sex ended up taking a backseat on this incredibly fun server.
Well, even so, from my perspective, I feel like I've still been having sex like a dog in heat.
It's just that I don't spend much time at home. When I see Kim Ji-hee and get hard, I fuck her; if there's something I want to try, I do it; if there's something I want her to wear, I make her wear it and do it.
From now on, I resolved to have sex more diligently in my spare time.
After all, compared to just doing it when I'm horny, having the additional goal of raising my stats would make me try to squeeze in some time for it.
And I was also curious.
"Just how fucking broken will the 19+ Cheat Mode be?"
Any mode with the word "Cheat" in it is already built different from its very inception.
I wonder what kind of features it has.
I'd find out once I invested Points into it, but for now, the Hunting Cheat Mode was waiting for me.
Looking at this, how could I possibly dump Points into sex?
The Hunting Cheat Mode is bound to turn out like this too.
Unless the sex cheat mode suddenly splits my hands into three or four and makes them vibrate like a vibrator, or lets me set my tongue to vibration mode to send a woman over the edge, for now...
All stats +10 levels. Rest bonus giving all stats +6 levels.
Just getting a 16-level stat boost from Base Invincibility alone is already beyond the level of sex dopamine.
Even Adrenaline has a mere 3-day cooldown.
Seeing that the Safe Fortress effect already gives a +50% Coin acquisition rate, I'm starting to look forward to the next option.
The +100% Normal Mode effect was so good it made me let out a curse of pure joy.
"Using 2 Resident modes... hmm... I wonder if that's really necessary."
That is the problem when you become too overpowered.
Even when you're given something good, it's hard to really feel the difference anymore.
Instead, the Level 9 option was so insane it made me gasp.
Farming "Rare" items was already a feature of Hunting Expert, but now it included "Special" and "Transcendent" grades.
Even "Special" was a name users used to call things in the Zombie Apocalypse, but "Transcendent" was a grade I had never heard of before.
What I could infer from this was that even if I raised my Hunting Expert level, this option might come out enhanced.
And the Level 10 option.
The weakening of zombies.
It looked pretty plain, but it was actually mind-blowing.
Since it reduced their stats by a total of 4 levels.
In particular, Level 1 zombies could basically be considered weaker than average humans.
A level where even non-combatants could easily kill them if they just mustered up some courage.
High-level zombies would also be heavily affected, but this was the biggest deal.
"They shouldn't be giving away too much."
That was the very first thought that crossed my mind.
And I immediately came up with a countermeasure for it.
[Membership Notice: Zombies inside the Safe Base have been weakened. As Coin acquisition rates increase, the cost of joining and maintaining a Membership will inevitably rise.]
As if the system itself had done it.
Level 1 Membership is now 15 Coins per week.
Level 2 Membership is now 50 Coins per week.
Instead, when calculating in 5-week increments, I changed it so they could pay the original 10 / 40 rate.
Complaints would burst out, but what the fuck are they going to do about it?
Humming a tune, I arrived home, only to find a bunch of kids gathered in front of my house.
