8 [Shop]

Calling out the [Shop] interface in his mind, Ben got dizzy from the large amount of data that suddenly appeared. If he were to compare, he was like an outdated game console, trying to run a high quality graphics game, very slow, he almost lost his consciousness. Thanks to the increase in his Fortitude stat, his mind overcame the onslaught of the system in his brain.

After what seem like hours, but is actually just a couple of minutes, Ben was finally able to see the items offered by the [Shop]. He was overwhelmed with how many the system has to offer, it was categorized with different major occupations, like [Agriculture and Natural Resources], [Architecture and Construction], [Health Sciences], [Arts and Media], [Culinary], [Science and Technology], [Transportation], [Education]. There were even jobs that made Ben think twice if he was in RPG, [Warrior], [Acolyte] and [Hunter] were some of them.

Every category offers raw materials to actual products, skills and other miscellaneous things, for Agriculture where farming is included. It offers seeds, fruits, trees, fish, animals and even insects! The System also offers "Special Promotions" like the "cheap" Cleaning Service and other things.

/Master, it's time to take your 2nd Enhancement Pill, you can check the others later./ Yue reminded.

"Oh! I was so focused I didn't notice the time. Hmmm, should I just sit under the shower or relax on the tub?" Ben contemplated but ultimately decided to relax on the bathtub for 30 minutes and then showering to take off all the filth in his body.

Ben passed the day, taking the pill, showering the impurities in his body and then checking the [Shop]'s products and services for sale. By the time he's done with the 5 Enhancement Pill Capsules, it was already 12 midnight. He faced the mirror and smiled. "At last! My body's back to normal! It's just sad that even my looks went back to being an average looking guy."

/Master, if you're so handsome when you step to school tomorrow, you'll be drowned by girls./ Yue laughed.

"You're right Yue, I don't want trouble, so better stay low-key." He then moved to his bedroom to sleep.

He woke up at 4 in the morning to do his exercise routine. "Yue, how come I don't get SP from exercising now?" Ben asks.

/Master, you'll be so overpowered if you would be getting a Status Point every day! Having twice the points of an average adult at your age is already very powerful. Add to you being in a slightly peaceful country, your stats are already considered overpowered./

"How will I get Stat Points from now on?"

/You will be awarded Status Points when doing Quests and also when you level up Master./

"Oh well, at least I can sleep in from now on." Ben said. While making his breakfast, he was also thinking on what might be a good product from the system will be good to sell, not too high tech but also not very common that you can see outside.

He first bought the customized AI Cleaning Robot from the system to keep his house clean and tidy.

He also added a cooking and gardening feature, leaving the 2 skill slots free for future use. Ben wanted to cry, he just bought the system's special promo Cleaning Service yesterday and with its cost, he can buy another 4 more AI Cleaning Robot for it. Putting his purchases yesterday at the back of his mind, he set the image of his AI Cleaning Robot to be like a girl, with black hair and brown eyes, pretty much every cute anime you'll find on the web and named it "Cheska". And then, he proceeded to guide Cheska around the house, inside and outside. After confirming that it already recorded the whole house's data, he left it to do its work.

"Yue, I'm done, please deduct the pay from my savings account." Ben said. /Ok Master!/ said Yue. Then he received a message notification on his phone, telling him of the deduction from the bank. "Yue, when I buy your products or services, where does the money you earn go?" Ben asks.

/Some of the money goes to charity from different parallel worlds. Some were used to purchase the items the system is offering you from different worlds. And you don't have to worry Master, before other people suspect anything fishy, they can't trace where the money went anymore. If ever they ask you, just tell them you bought it online. The internet is very vast and domains come and go, so they won't be able to do anything to you./

Ben relaxed after hearing Yue's response, as much as possible he was avoiding trouble. He is still "weak" in a sense, as he hasn't started his dream yet and doesn't have a lot of connections yet.

Knowing these things Ben decided to make a deal with his Dad, his company is currently more on mobile phones and mobile gaming, centering on these two, they were able to be successfully integrated in society and having quality mobiles, most consumers locally have the most trust in their products. So he bought from the [Shop] a blueprint of a more advanced phone which will be better than any other phone in the span of three to five years, together with all of its components and also the final product before he called his father. He was able to buy all of these for only $50, much cheaper than any he'd bought so far.

On the way to school, Ben called his father, "Hello Dad, are you free this weekend?"

"Good morning son, I think I'll be free on Sunday, why?" his Dad asks. "Can you meet me on Sunday at home Dad? I want to talk to you about business and also my future plans. Oh, never mind Dad, I will just come home this weekend, we can talk at home, see you this weekend!" Ben said, changing his mind midway and deciding to visit home instead. He can explain his plans to his family and see their reactions and also hear their opinions. Then he can move on to business and then catching up with his siblings.
