Common Sense Hijack System-Chapter 89

In the cold and quiet cube room, Karl stood tense, his mind spinning as he tried to piece together the bits of information he’d just heard. An unfamiliar feeling had settled over him ever since he arrived in the Republic of Neosia — everything seemed too advanced, too futuristic. Even now, he still felt like an outsider lost in a world that wasn’t his. Vincent had told him to wait for a moment.

"Glowsphere... Homo Obscura... what do they really want?" Karl muttered quietly, letting out a long sigh. The System suddenly popped into his mind, its mechanical voice monotonous yet familiar.

---

[ Quest progress made. Time without dirty thoughts significantly extended to 12 hours. New record. ]

Karl snorted, no pride in the achievement at all. Everything like Daily Quests, XP, or even Hijack Points, which once made him feel special, now felt nothing more than painful reminders of a life that used to be so much simpler.

---

[ Weekly Spin available in 24 hours. Don’t miss out on special rewards! ]

"Shut up," he whispered, trying to ignore the notification.

But before he could truly lose himself in thought, the System spoke up again.

---

[ Upon reaching Level 10 and becoming an Intermediate Hijacker, you’ll gain the ability to hijack Common Sense of Homo Obscura. This is a crucial step toward complete mastery. ]

"Great," Karl muttered, a small smile breaking across his face. Hope flared up again — the ability to hack the Common Sense of Homo Obscura could be the key to fighting Glowsphere. But he knew the road ahead wouldn’t be easy.

The System responded.

---

[ System adaptation to routine changes successfully completed. Please note updates to Daily Quest mechanisms and abilities. ]

Karl frowned. "Updates? What do you mean? Explain."

The System answered without pause, as always.

---

[ Since being kidnapped by John, your routine has undergone significant disruption. As a result, Daily Quests were temporarily suspended to align with your irregular lifestyle. However, after the current active quest is completed, Daily Quests will be resumed daily to support your progress. ]

[ The designed quests will be more flexible, but will still be oriented toward enhancing your abilities as a Hijacker. ]

Karl took a deep breath, trying to make sense of this change. "So... Daily Quests will be back to normal? After this quest is done?"

---

[ Correct. The system has adapted. This evolution is aimed at keeping you focused on reaching Level 10. Additionally, updates also apply to your active skills. ]

"Active skills? You mean SpankSome?" Karl asked, a mix of curiosity and worry in his voice.

---

[ Correct. The SpankSome skill will evolve into RadiantSpank when you reach Level 10. This evolution will drastically improve the efficiency of your ability. ]

Karl squinted. "How drastic are we talking here?"

---

[ RadiantSpank allows you to activate and control your ability with just your thoughts, without needing manual input like typing. This speeds up reactions and gives you more control over your target. Also, Hijack Points consumption will be more efficient, and effects can be adjusted for more precise results. This evolution will give you a significant advantage in combat or infiltration. Hijacked Common Sense will only affect a circular area around the Host, with ranges from a few meters to dozens of meters, even hundreds. ]

Karl fell silent for a moment, processing it all. A skill that doesn’t need typing? Just thinking it, and it’s done? That sounded almost too good, even for him.

"So, no more typing like an idiot? Just think, and it’s done?" he asked, half skeptical.

---

[ Correct. Maximum efficiency is the system’s priority. However, please note: this evolution will only occur when you reach Level 10. Staying focused on leveling up is crucial to unlock this full potential. ]

Karl snorted, but there was a flicker of relief in his expression. At least the System was finally moving in a more sensible direction.

"Alright, I’ll focus. But tell me one thing, System," he said, staring blankly at the cube’s wall. "Why am I getting this power?"

The System didn’t respond right away. Its monotonous voice finally came after a few seconds of silence.

---

[ Access denied, information cannot be provided. ]

Karl let out a long sigh. "Of course. There’s always a reason to keep something secret," he muttered. "Alright, I’ll work toward Level 10. But remember this, System. Don’t try to play me."

The System remained silent, only offering one final notification before going quiet again.

---

[ Your commitment has been noted. Good luck, Host. ]

Karl stood there, surrounded by the silence of the cube room. Even with lingering doubts, for the first time in a long while, he felt like he had a clear direction — even if that direction led him deeper into the mysteries of Glowsphere and Homo Obscura.

Karl glanced around the room. The cube was cold, almost sterile, with metal walls reflecting his restless shadow. But in the stillness, his mind started working. Level 10 was now his goal — a target that felt more real compared to the endless puzzle of Glowsphere and Homo Obscura.

"RadiantSpank, huh..." he muttered quietly, almost speaking to himself. He stepped into one corner of the room, trying to steady his breathing and focus. free𝑤ebnovel.com

But his mind wouldn’t settle. He kept thinking about Homo Obscura, the Uncommon beings somehow tied to Glowsphere. So far, the information he had was minimal, just pieces given by the System.

"If I can hijack their Common Sense," he said, speaking to the empty air, "does that mean they’ll be just like normal humans?"

Almost as if in response, the System spoke again.

---

[ Of course. However, success depends on available Hijack Points as well as the Host’s mental strength. ]

Karl listened closely. This was new, and important information.

"So, I’ll need a lot of Hijack Points?" he asked.

---

[ Correct. However, it should be noted that Homo Obscura have natural resistance to low-level manipulation. For stronger targets, besides needing more Hijack Points or ability enhancements, you’ll also need mental resilience. ]

Karl nodded slightly. "Means I’ll need more power and... strategy," he said, half to himself.

He started thinking about the possibilities that would open up with his new ability. If he could manipulate the perception of Homo Obscura, he might be able to shift the odds against Glowsphere. But there was one question that kept gnawing at him.

"System, why are the Homo Obscura working with Glowsphere? They don’t seem like the type to bow down to anyone."

---

[ Limited information. However, based on available data, not all Homo Obscura work with Glowsphere. Some are allies, but many are a threat to both. Their motivations vary depending on the individual or group. ]
