## Chapter 41 – Episode 41 – Heroine App Helper, Delia (5)
—————————————————————————–
[ Heroine App – Heroine ]
◆ 1. [ (Not yet released.) ]
◆ 2. General Heroine
◆ 3. Register
—————————————————————————–
Upon entering the Heroine menu, a new ‘Register’ option had appeared, which wasn’t there before.
Come to think of it, Soo-jung had arrived before I could test all the functions after my promotion to 9th grade.
“Delia, do you know much about the Heroine App’s menus?”
“Yes. I am quite familiar with the system.”
That’s good.
If there’s anything I don’t know or am confused about, I can just ask her.
I went into the newly created ‘Register’ menu.
—————————————————————————–
[ Heroine App – Heroine – Register ]
◆ 1. Sub-Heroine
◆ 2. Character Registration
—————————————————————————–
Sub-Heroine and Character Registration.
There were a total of two menus.
Let’s start by going into the Sub-Heroine menu.
[ Welcome to the ‘Sub-Heroine’ submenu for the first time. ]
[ In this menu, the protagonist can set sub-heroines. ]
[ There is no limit to the number of sub-heroines you can select. However, it costs 20,000 coins per sub-heroine to set them. ]
[ Would you like to set a sub-heroine? (Yes / No) ]
A sub-heroine, not a general heroine.
And it costs 20,000 coins to register a sub-heroine.
Why is it so expensive?
I don’t even know the exact difference between a general heroine and a sub-heroine.
“Delia. What’s the difference between a general heroine and a sub-heroine?”
I asked, stroking Delia’s belly.
It would be better to stroke her bare skin, but unfortunately, her clothes are in the way.
“A sub-heroine is a system similar to a spare heroine. It’s for registering heroines who couldn’t be registered as general heroines…”
“Is there no system difference between a general heroine and a sub-heroine?”
“No. There is. When you register a general heroine, you get to choose a ‘capture style’ and gain ‘skills’ that help with it. Also, after the capture is complete, an evaluation is conducted, and you receive a bonus or penalty.”
I nodded.
I had already experienced that while capturing Soo-jung.
“However, sub-heroines don’t have that. You just register them. You can’t choose a capture style, and you can’t gain skills. Events also don’t appear. However, you can modify the heroine’s stats with coins, and when their favorability reaches 100, the heroine’s special shop opens.”
“Ah, I see.”
It really is a sub-heroine in the truest sense.
It was like paying 20,000 coins to open a heroine’s special shop. Well, the heroine’s special shop is good, but you can open it if you capture a general heroine well, and it’s better to register as a general heroine if possible.
I exited the Sub-Heroine menu and this time entered the Character Registration menu.
[ Welcome to the ‘Character Registration’ submenu for the first time. ]
[ In this menu, you can register characters. ]
[ By registering a character, you can view their information and modify their stats. It costs 1,000 coins per character to register them. ]
[ Would you like to register a character? (Yes / No) ]
Character registration, huh.
Let’s ask Delia-mong again.
“What’s the point of character registration?”
“If you register a character, you can always view and modify the registered person’s information, just like when you register a general heroine or a sub-heroine.”
“That’s it?”
“Yes. The only functions are viewing and modifying information.”
I see.
I think I understand a little.
I can currently increase Kang Soo-jung’s stats or favorability. That’s because Soo-jung is registered as a general heroine.
I can increase the stats or modify the favorability, etc., of people registered in the Heroine App. Through coins.
A general heroine is a basic registration function with the ‘capture’ function added, and a sub-heroine has the ‘heroine special shop opens upon reaching 100 favorability’ function added. Character registration only has the registration function without any of that.
‘I should make pretty girls into heroines, capture them, and then increase their stats, and just register other people as characters.’
For example, my parents or Soo-jung’s parents, whom I’m going to see this time.
If I register Soo-jung’s parents as characters, I could modify their stats. If I raise their favorability and trust to a certain level, they might react positively to my relationship with Soo-jung.
‘Good, good.’
This time, I entered the General Heroine menu.
Let’s slowly make Delia a heroine.
[ Welcome to the ‘General Heroine’ submenu. ]
[ As Chun Jin-hyun’s protagonist rank has increased, it is possible to additionally set 2 general heroines. It is now possible to set a total of 3 general heroines. ]
—————————————————————————-
[ Heroine App – Heroine – General Heroine ]
◆ Registered Heroines: 01 / 03
[ 1. Kang Soo-jung ] (View Details)
◆ Would you like to set an additional heroine?
(Yes / No)
—————————————————————————-
Of course, I pressed the ‘Yes’ button.
[ Heroine settings are only possible for people with a ‘Connection Level’ of 3 or higher. ]
[ Loading the list of people with a ‘Connection Level’ of 3 or higher. ]
[ Please wait a moment…… ]
Since I’m an outcast, the time it takes to wait for the list is very short.
Before, the list appeared in less than 10 seconds, I think.
[ Currently available heroines: 892 people ]
“Oh, what?”
“What is it? Jin-hyun?”
“It’s nothing. Never mind.”
“Is that so.”
When I chose Soo-jung as a heroine, it was definitely in the 700s, but now it has increased to the 800s.
‘Is it because I went on a lot of dates?’
A connection level of 3 might be accumulated just by having a few conversations. If so, the added people must all be people I passed by while dating Soo-jung.
‘With Delia lying next to me, everyone else looks like an octopus.’
As I scrolled through the list, there was no one who caught my eye.
The people I could register as heroines were either men or all octopuses.
If it were before I got the Heroine App, I would have bowed and begged to date these women, but now they all seemed lacking.
‘I wonder if Yoo-jung noona is still working part-time…’
No, when you think about it, it’s not ‘still.’
It hasn’t even been 3 weeks since I broke up with Yoo-jung noona, so it’s natural that she’s still working part-time. Rather, I’m the one who has changed a lot.
[ Name: Yoon Yoo-jung ]
[ Age, Gender: 24 years old, Female ]
[ Tendency: Benevolence, Responsibility, Inferiority Complex ]
[ Occupation: Convenience Store Part-timer, Restaurant Part-timer, University Student on Leave ]
[ Favorability: 30 ] [ Trust: 35 ] [ Connection Level: 19 ]
Among the many octopuses, Yoo-jung noona was one of the few women who didn’t look like an octopus. Maybe it’s because she was the noona I had my first kiss with, but she stood out.
‘But she has an inferiority complex in her tendency?’
When I looked at the list before, the tendency didn’t show up, but after being promoted to 9th grade, the tendency and trust were visible. It’s a tendency that doesn’t suit Yoo-jung noona, who has a laid-back and cool personality.
It was also strange that her favorability had increased while I wasn’t looking, and that her trust was higher than I thought.
‘But I don’t really need to make her a heroine…’
To be honest, there were so many pretty girls like Soo-jung, Delia, and Ye-hwa, so I wasn’t drawn to her.
‘Well, I can actually increase their appearance with my stats.’
If we’re meant to be, we’ll meet again someday.
I scrolled down the list.
“Heh.”
While roughly scrolling through the list, I stopped my finger again.
There was a woman who caught my eye.
[ Name: Jang Ye-hwa ]
[ Age, Gender: 22 years old, Female ]
[ Tendency: Neutral, Opportunist, Hard Worker, Artist ]
[ Occupation: Rental Business Owner, University Student on Leave ]
[ Favorability: 13 ] [ Trust: 10 ] [ Connection Level: 08 ]
She’s really pretty.
Just looking at the face of a smiling beauty makes me admire her.
I looked at Delia’s face, who was lying close to me.
“……”
Delia kept looking at me, perhaps because I told her not to avoid my gaze.
When our eyes met, she blushed slightly and pursed her lips, but she didn’t avoid my gaze at all. I was the one who said it, but she’s going to shoot lasers from her eyes at this rate.
‘Wow. They’re similar.’
I compared Ye-hwa’s profile and Delia’s appearance, looking back and forth. Delia looked prettier because she was right next to me, but the feeling when seeing them in person would be similar.
They were both so pretty that I couldn’t say who was superior.
It was a matter of preference.
If Delia was closer to a Western-style beauty, Ye-hwa was closer to an Eastern-style beauty.
“I wonder if it’ll work now.”
It didn’t work when I was 10th grade, but now I’ve risen to 9th grade.
I touched Ye-hwa’s profile.
[ This character’s rank is too high, and it is currently impossible to set her as a heroine with Chun Jin-hyun’s current rank. ]
[ Please raise your protagonist rank and try again. ]
“Yeah. It doesn’t work~.”
Well, I kind of expected that. As I clicked my tongue, Delia asked.
“What doesn’t work?”
“Ah. There’s a woman I want to register as a heroine, but it’s not working yet.”
“I see. Her rank must be high.”
Come to think of it, Delia might know.
“How are the ranks set?”
“Ranks are set by combining the average of your current stats and your potential.”
“Potential? Can that be measured too?”
“Yes, it can.”
I see.
It’s a shame that I can’t make Ye-hwa a heroine right now, but what can I do if her rank is high?
I continued to scroll down the list.
And finally, I was able to find the name I wanted.
[ Name: Delia ]
[ Age, Gender: Unknown, Female ]
[ Tendency: Neutral, Strong, Loyal ]
[ Occupation: Heroine App Helper ]
[ Favorability: 80 ] [ Trust: 100 ] [ Connection Level: 30 ]
