Choosing the First Monster

With every minute, the shopping cart was getting filled with more and more ingredients. In fact, Adam and Leona had already bought everything they needed to make lasagna a few minutes ago.

First, they bought eggs, flour, and milk, then tomato paste and spices. So they picked out everything they needed and could go home, but... Adam realized that their large shopping cart was practically empty.

"Are you sure you want it?" Leona mumbled uncertainly pointing to various jellies, oddly shaped cookies, chips, and so on.

Adam was unstoppable. He threw anything that seemed interesting or unusual into the shopping cart.

Even when they lived in the slums, he saw products in the stores that his family just couldn't spend money on. Yogurt for ten credits? Why not? Ice cream that costs several times the average? Sure.

Was Adam turning into a shopaholic? Well, his situation and some ordinary shopaholic just couldn't be compared.
