"This upgrade card… wouldn't it be better if I used it on my hybrid bloodline instead?" Aaron asked, twirling the shimmering card between his fingers, a little hopeful as he consulted the ever-sarcastic system.
[Dumbass. You haven't even tapped into half the power of your hybrid bloodline at its current stage, and now you're already thinking of upgrading it to the next stage? You must be dumb.]
Aaron's lips twitched. "Yeah, yeah, I was only joking," he said quickly, raising his hands in surrender. "By the way, thanks for tailoring the rewards to my taste." He flashed a grin, trying to soften the system's constant barbs.
[Me? Don't give me credit I don't deserve. You should be thanking your luck talent. It's all his doing.]
That made Aaron pause. His eyes narrowed as the dots began connecting in his head. "Hold up…" he muttered, suspicion creeping into his tone. "You didn't even know if I would get the benefits you promised me, did you?"
