31 Twisted Emotion

Or perhaps, you are unlucky enough to get an empty chest as a random reward.

This mean that the random reward the System gives can also be no reward at all.

If you have known what is inside the chest without opening it, you could sell the chest to a p.a.w.n shop for some quick bucks.

It was made of solid gold, so it should worth something – until they open it.

You might bring unwanted attention to yourself when that happened.

Perhaps it is a good thing that the chest vanishes.

Anyway, seeing that there is no use crying over spill milk, you got out of your car and entered the pizza joint to have dinner as it is getting late.

The restaurant is packed with people – mostly family.

You find a vacant table and then order your favorite pizza.

A teenager takes your order. "It will be 30 minutes wait."

You didn't mind the wait, and you didn't pay attention to him any further.

As you wait for your dinner, you scrutinize the nearby families carefully. Most of them have red strings coming out of their body, connecting to another person.

That just means they love and care for each other a lot.

You did notice some strings have a hint of yellow, partial yellow or fully yellow. This is likely the owner of the string feeling fear or wariness to a person.

This is very evidence in several children. They have these kinds of string, connecting to their father or uncle or older brother.

You know that you can manipulate these strings, by pulling or tugging on them physically. You have accidently tested this on your mother.

Doing so has jolted her affection for you.

It also confuses her emotionally, diffusing l.u.s.t and love. At least, that is what you theorized from what you saw last night.

You want to confirm the theory.

You also wonder if you can rip the string – and you wonder what would happen if you did something like that?

You need some test subjects, hopefully ones that won't cause a lot of troubles down the road.

Before you hunt for your preys in the restaurant, your phone rings.

Mark is calling, so you answer the call as it is likely about Michael Bay. You are very interested in having him on your crew as an explosion expert.

"Hey. So, I call Michael and ask if he could meet up and discuss some business venture together."

Mark pauses for a moment.

"He's somewhat skeptical, but he agrees to meet us… for a movie. It's the newest Terminator movie that just came out. You know, the one with Sylvester Stallone in it. A few of my friends will be coming as well. I'm a.s.suming you want to come, right?"

You reply that you would.

"Great. Oh, bring some girls if you know some. Hot ones."

You a.s.sure Mark that you will try to bring some girls.

After Mark hangs up, you place your phone on the table and have a thought about Terminator movies of this universe.

Its name remained unchanged as well as its director, being James Cameron. However, its lead actor is not Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead, it is Sylvester Stallone.

This mean there is no iconic moments like "I'll be back".

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a prominent actor in this universe. He remains mainly as a professional body builder.

This also mean some of Arnold's movies didn't exists like The Last Action Hero.

In fact, a lot of movies you know from your previous life weren't released when they are supposed to or forever in production h.e.l.l.

Home Alone is an example.

The movie should have been released last year, in November 1990. It is still in production as far as you know, but in fact, the production has stopped just a couple of months into the filming, and the entire project is shelfed afterwards.

Disney has something to do with Hughes Entertainment filing for bankruptcy.

Since you love seeing Arnold as the Terminator, you make a note in your mind to go grab Arnold when you have a chance.

Another reboot with Arnold as the Terminator is in order.

The terminator franchises have been rebooted so many times in your past, including the stupid gender bender version that basically kills the already dying franchise.

You put all that ideas in the back of your mind before picking up the phone again.

You call Howard Hoffman, the marketing executive of Lucasfilm. You want to register Delight Records as in the upcoming days, one or all the radio stations will be playing your songs, propelling Christina to stardom.

You are reasonably sure of this. Having a registered trademark behind the voice is a must.

You also decide to register a few more sh.e.l.l companies. They are sh.e.l.l companies for now.

Howard isn't too pleased to hear your request since it costs money to register a company, even if it is a sh.e.l.l company.

"You want to register Delight Records, Delight Interactive, Delight Communication, Delight Literature as subsidiaries of Delight Entertainment?"

You a.s.sure him that you do, and as for the registration and ongoing cost, you will repay Lucasfilm after your movie is in theater.

You believe you will have all the funding you need by then.

Howard is not happy with that, but considering George Lucas has vouched for you, he will carry what you requested as soon as possible.

Your phone returns to your pocket once you finished chatting with Howard on the legal matters. Even though he is not happy with all your demands, he is very forthcoming and friendly to you.

"Here's your pizza. Please enjoy your meal."

A teenage girl places your pizza before you with a warm smile. She isn't a looker, but she was far easier on the eyes than the last person attended you.

Her name is Ashley. It is on her nameplate.

You thank Ashley before she heads to another table with their order.

You examine her attributes, skillsets as well as her body while enjoying your pizza.

Ashley has several strings connecting to various people in the restaurant, with one vibrant red string connected to a guy sitting in the corner of the room.

He is having a drink and appears to be waiting.

You focus on the guy and found he also have a red string connecting to Ashley.

They like each other, so they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

When Ashley pa.s.ses you again, you reach out your hand to take hold of the red string connecting to her boyfriend. If you didn't use any force, the string stretches to accommodate her movement around the room.

You finish a slice of pizza before tugging the string lightly and playfully. It is an experiment to you.

Ashley stops as you did and heaves her chest heavily. Her cheeks become flush with red.

She then looks at her boyfriend, who is waiting for her to finish her s.h.i.+ft.

The feeling of mingled l.u.s.t, love, affection soon pa.s.ses when you stop tugging the string.

Once Ashley recovers completely and went to get another order, you tug the strings harder and more recklessly than before.

Ashley nearly trips over when you did. She has to use a pole for support. Her face is red as she having trouble breathing. She gasps and moans softly as you twirl the string.

It seems that you have the power to mess with people emotions. After knowing that, you inhale a few more slices of pizza and allowing the poor girl to continue her job.

Ashley shakes her head and forces herself to another table to deliver an order.

"Umm… this isn't what I order?"

"Ah… I'm… so… sorry. Yours will… be out… soon."

Ashley apologizes slowly and takes the pizza to the adjacent table. Throughout the whole time, she is unable to keep an eye off her boyfriend. Her face shows that she is being intoxicated with the emotion of love, l.u.s.t, yearning and so on.

Ashley struggled back to the counter. "I … need a break…"

Without getting an acknowledgement from her boss, Ashley heads to her boyfriend and grab him by the arm. She drags him forcefully off his seat.

"Woah, Ashley? Slow down."

The guy calls out when he was push into the toilet for the disables. She enters after him and locks the door behind her. Thumping and cras.h.i.+ng noises could be heard before shouting and screaming.

Moaning, groanings and grunting soon follows, causing a few people going to the toilet to raise their eyebrows.

You enjoy another slice of pizza while the couple enjoys each other.
