Chapter 165: I DON’T HAVE BAD BREATH!
Hugo sat on his bed, his legs crossed and his face scrunched up in intense concentration as he stared at his system screen.
His remaining 1000 points gleamed brightly, like they were seducing him. "Alright," he muttered to himself, rubbing his chin.
"The advanced gift box wheel costs 100 points per spin… so I can spin it ten times. Ten chances to get something good. Surely the system can't screw me over that many times, right?"
With the chance of getting a Trash Grade item eliminated, he should be able to get some good spins, right?
He nodded confidently, but as his hand hovered over the "Spin" button, a wave of anxiety hit him like a truck.
The advanced wheel wasn't like the basic one—this thing was expensive. It was double the price of the basic gift box wheel!
Every spin was like throwing a fistful of cash into the wind and praying it landed in his pocket again. His stomach churned.
But what if he managed to get an epic grade item? Just, what if?
"Alright, Hugo," he whispered, cracking his knuckles.
"You've got this. First spin. Just one. Easy. Nothing to worry about." But his finger hesitated, trembling like he was about to press a self-destruct button.
Finally, he slammed the button, and the wheel started spinning.
Bright colours flashed across the hologram screen, and Hugo's heart raced. Sweat dripped down his temples as he clenched his fists.
It was like he was about to see the DNA results of his 28 year old daughter!
"Goddess of Luck!" he cried out, falling to his knees dramatically.
"I don't know where you are, but if you can hear me, please, please, bless this spin! I'll do anything! I'll write poems for you! I'll sacrifice my system coins to you! Heck, I'll even—"
He paused, his face turning red as a devious thought crossed his mind. "—I'll even… date you, no matter how many legs or tentacles you have! But please, at least have a human form! A voluptuous one!"
The wheel slowed down, the bright colours turning into a blur of potential rewards.
Hugo clenched his jaw so hard his teeth squeaked. "Come on, come on, come on… Daddy needs an epic…"
The wheel stopped. Hugo leaned forward, squinting at the result. The reward materialized in his inventory, and his entire body stiffened.
[Ding! Host has received an Uncommon Grade: Super Suppy Mouth Spray!]
Super... Suppy?
Hugo stared at the screen for a good ten seconds before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
He fell back on his bed, clutching his stomach as tears streamed down his face. "Super Suppy Mouth Spray?! What kind of name is that? Who's in charge of naming these items? A drunk intern?!"
The Ultimate Harem System had a frightening naming sense. Hugo almost felt pity for it's offsprings...
Still giggling, he opened the item's description:
[Super Suppy Mouth Spray: Spray once into your mouth 1 hour or less before kissing to make the kiss feel 50% more sensual for both parties. Can be used 7 times.]
Hugo froze, the laughter choking in his throat. "Wait a minute…" he muttered. "This is actually… not bad."
He sat up, imagining scenarios where the spray would come in handy. "Oh man, if Loli agrees to a date, I'm gonna be a kissing god! She won't even know what hit her!"
A 50% more sensual kiss could make a huge difference in hitting a home run or not. It was very useful.
Excited now, he hit the spin button again. The wheel spun, and Hugo's heart rate shot up again.
"Alright, Luck Goddess," he said, pointing a finger at the screen like he was accusing it of a crime. "Don't mess with me this time. Give me something epic. Or rare. I'll even take magical!"
The wheel stopped, and Hugo's eyes darted to the new reward.
[Ding! Host has received Uncommon Grade: Suppy Suppy Gum!]
His jaw dropped. "Another 'Suppy Suppy' item?! Are you kidding me?!" He grabbed his pillow and screamed into it before reluctantly checking the description.
What was wrong with the system today?
[Suppy Suppy Gum: Chew 1 hour or less before kissing to make the kiss feel 50% more sensual.]
Hugo blinked. Then he blinked again. "It's the SAME reward! Just… in gum form!" He stared at the screen in disbelief, then slowly touched his lips.
A frightening thought had just entered his mind.
"Wait… is the system trying to tell me something? Does it think my breath stinks?"
Panic set in as Hugo leapt off the bed and ran to his cluttered desk. He grabbed a spoon, licked it, and held it up to his nose.
He sniffed cautiously, then sighed in relief. "Still fresh. Thank god." He had successfully passed the mouth test. He was beginning to get scared there for a second...
But his paranoia wasn't done with him yet. "What if it's not my breath? What if it's my kissing skills?"
His mind spiralled into chaotic thoughts of exes rolling their eyes after bad dates. "No, no, no," he muttered. "That's impossible. I'm great at kissing… right?"
He wasn't the best, but surely he wasn't that bad, right?
Determined to shake off the panic, he slammed the button for a third spin. The wheel spun faster this time, almost mocking him.
"Alright, system," he growled. "If this reward is mouth related again, I swear I'll… I'll uninstall you!"
The wheel stopped. Hugo's eyes widened as the new reward popped up.
[Ding! Host has received Uncommon Grade: Sappy Suppy Toothbrush]
Hugo screamed. "OH COME ON!" He flung his hands into the air, pacing around the room like a madman.
"What is this?! Are you TRYING to make me paranoid? I DON'T HAVE BAD BREATH! I passed the breath test!"
But curiosity got the better of him, and he clicked the description.
[Suppy Suppy Toothbrush: Permanently whitens teeth by 1% after every use.]
Hugo froze mid rant. "Wait… permanently whitens teeth?" His anger deflated like a popped balloon, replaced with grudging admiration.

"Okay… that's actually kind of awesome. My teeth are already pretty white, but I could literally blind people if I use this enough times."
Imagine using it 1000 times. He wouldn't even need to save up to buy VVS!
He glanced at the screen, his expression now half-annoyed, half-hopeful. "Alright, system," he muttered, shaking his head.
"Enough with the mouth stuff. Give me something actually good next time!"
With a determined glare, Hugo pressed the spin button again. This time, he wasn't praying to the Goddess of Luck. He was demanding her attention.
