Chapter 36 The Summon is here
"What are you doing in front of my apartment?" Rick asked Emily, who was sneaking outside his apartment.
"Aaahhh!!!" Emily screamed as she was startled, she almost peed her pants.
After having breakfast with Amanda, Rick left her apartment and made his way back to his own place.
Cheerfully humming to himself, Rick climbed up the stairs for his apartment. Since he was not getting any exercise, he decided to take every opportunity to build up his stamina.
But when he reached his apartment, Rick found Emily snooping in front of his apartment. So he decided to sneak behind her. But how could he have imagined such a big response from her?
Emily was scared shitless of the sudden voice from behind her. She almost jumped up in surprise and let out a shrill as she turned. But when she turned, it was only Rick.
Instant relief enveloped her body, and she sighed in relief. But her legs gave way and she leaned against his door to steady herself.
"Why would you sneak up on me like that?" Emily looked at him angry, "I almost peed myself."
"Oh, that would have been a mess," Rick nodded as he forwarded his hand to help her stand up, "But you sure you didn\'t shit yourself instead? I am smelling something in the air," Rick said with a smirk as he sniffed around her.
"Ha... Ha... Ha... Should I laugh?" Emily held his hand as she hand and stood up.
"Sniff! Sniff! What I am actually smelling..." Emily wanted to retort but she suddenly stopped. She looked at Rick in suspicion as she leaned forward, grabbed his jacket and gave it a long, deep sniff.
"What is this?" Emily looked at Rick with her eyes narrowing, "It\'s not your perfume. It smells a lot like... A woman\'s."
"Huh?" Rick was left surprised by her words. How sharp her nose was to actually smell something like that?
"And where are you coming from?" Emily suddenly realised something and asked.
"Me... I was just..." Rick suddenly felt nervous in her heart, but he soon had a realization struck him. Why should he nervous? He was not the dilly-dallying pushover from two days back. He has been reborn.
"I was with a friend of mine. We had drinks and then I slept over at their place," Rick replied.
"A friend? Their?" Amanda was confused, "So was it a boy or a girl?" She asked further.
"I don\'t know," Rick shrugged, "I wouldn\'t dare assume their gender. Don\'t you know that\'s racist? It might even amount to torture. I didn\'t know you were that type of person," Rick shook his head in disappointment.
"Wha... That type of person?"
"Anyways... I am not going to the college today. I have something important to do," Rick said as he slightly pushed Emily to the side and put his key in the door, "So you can leave without me."
And with that, Rick walked inside his apartment, closing the door behind him.
"Wai..."
Emily, on the other hand, was left standing there, staring at the closed apartment door.

Rick was now sitting on his chair and looking through his system screen. After coming home, he first freshened up, grabbed some nachos and immediately sat to look at his stats.
"I should order a bean bag," Rick thought as he uncomfortably shifted on his chair.
But it was for later, he soon turned his attention back to the system and his lips curved into a pleased smile. He could not wait to check his stats, and especially the money he earned.

Numerous notifications appeared in front of Rick, one by one. It was way much more than what he had expected.
Rick was really overwhelmed. He quickly opened his own information to check how much he had actually progressed.

"Well, it\'s not actually that much," Rick looked a tiny bit disappointed. Looks like it was more of a cash and Ero points reward that he earned today.
Rick then looked at his Ero points. And his face had a smirk on his face. He had a staggering <nullb>64,700 Ero points.
Suddenly he felt so excited. He can shop a lot from the store now. There were just so many possibilities in front of him.
But Rick did not get carried away. He turned to look at the lottery spin. He had 2 lottery spins. He could have spun them and get done with them, but Rick decided to wait for a while this time. Maybe it might come in hand later on.
Rick then checked his inventory.
It was the same as before. The place where he used to have his "Magical Fingers" card was now occupied by his hard earned\' money.
When Rick looked at the total money he had, he almost fell of his chair. He had fucking freaking $448,800 in there.
"What the fuck?" Was the only thing Rick could spit out. He was almost half a million worth. Compared to the measly three thousand odd dollars he had in his bank account, he was practically swimming in money.
Even with average per capita income, he could very easily spend seven - eight years without having to work. In fact, a little more and if he deposited about a million dollars, he could have a decent life without ever working for his life. He could live off the interest.
"Holy Fuck!" Rick was thinking of how cool his life had suddenly turned into.
15:29
But just as he was about to plan more, his attention was suddenly drawn to movement outside the window. He turned his head, his brows furrowing in confusion. There, on the windowsill, sat a white furry rabbit. It was an odd sight, to say the least, considering they were on the seventh floor of an apartment building.
"So cute!"
Rick couldn\'t help but be captivated by the adorable creature. The rabbit\'s fluffy fur seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, and its twitching nose added to its charm.
Rick got up from his chair and approached the window cautiously, wondering how a rabbit had managed to find its way up here.
Just as he opened the window to take a closer look, a chime sounded from inside his brain. It was a notification from the system.
The message read: <nullb>[Your summon has arrived]
His brows furrowed as he looked back at the rabbit. Is that?
But before he could finish his thought, the rabbit hopped off the windowsill and onto the floor of his apartment.
It was then that he confirmed that this rabbit was no ordinary rabbit. It was indeed the summon he got from the system. A manifestation of the summon card he used just the other day.
Rick looked at the notification, and then towards the rabbit. It was a bit odd. He had thought the summon would be a bit more... you can say a bit more intimidating. But the rabbit was like the complete opposite. It was so adorable that even Rick found it cute.
But nothing could be done now. And it was not like he was disappointed or something. It was just not what he expected.
Rick crouched down, his hand extending toward the rabbit. It hopped closer, its large round eyes fixing on him with an almost intelligent curiosity. Its fur was soft and inviting, and he couldn\'t resist reaching out to stroke it.
"Hey there, little guy," he murmured, a mix of wonder and amusement in his voice. "You\'re quite the unexpected visitor."
The rabbit seemed to respond to his words, its ears twitching as if it understood. Rick chuckled, feeling a connection to this mysterious creature that had suddenly appeared in his apartment.
"Let me get you some welcome treat," Rick said, standing up. He then walked towards his mini fridge and looked through it. He remembered that rabbits like to eat carrot. Or at least that is what they show in cartoons. Luckily he had some fresh carrots in his fridge. He grabbed two of them and walked back to the rabbit, who like an obedient student sat where Rick had left it.
"Here you go little thing. I hope you enjoy it," Rick forwarded the carrots towards the rabbit. The rabbit when saw the carrots first sniffed them for a couple of seconds, then slowly and gently took them from Rick.
As the rabbit continued to enjoy its carrot, Rick leaned back on his heels, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips.
As he watched the rabbit, another prompt appeared, this time it had information about the rabbit.
