Shop or Drop??

"I cannot wait to check out the shop tomorrow" He said to himself quietly while getting ready for bed. However shortly after going to sleep, he was abruptly awoken with a bag over his head....

'What is going on here?' He thought to himself, while remaining perfectly calm, as he was being carried down stairs. Then decided to use perception to see who his kidnappers were or at least where they were taking him.

'I really do wonder why I am being kidnapped by a gang? I mean I have not family to hostage me to. Well, I may as well look at the shop while I am waiting as fighting back would lead to annoyances.' He thought to himself.

"Shop" he whispered

[Shop]

{Potions} {Weapons} {Armor} {Techniques} {Abilities} {Skills} {Commodities} {Miscellaneous}

[Shop Coin: 100]

[Notification: You may purchase with shop coin, experience, or sell items to acquire shop coin.]

[Notification: Any items purchased will be placed in Yueliang's inventory.]

[Notification: For better understanding of skills, abilities, and techniques. Techniques would be in a field such as fireball in magic, which allows Yueliang to become more proficient with mana or said field. Abilities would cover being able to do something but not yet skill, however with practice and understanding can become a skill. Skills are what you do well and proficiently. Although abilities being more on the passive side sounds good they are less useful or even powerful, skills can be passive or active however are upgraded versions.

You can choose the level you want in the store when purchasing for an increase in price. However this is not recommended for Yueliang, as 1. you would gain less experience, 2. the more you grow and understand something the better you can utilize it to your advantage. For instance I could give you the Holy Sword Excalibur, however would you be able to even use it properly as it is not just a sword?]

[Notification: For first time shop use, you have been credited with 100 Shop Coin]

'I wonder what is for sale in the shop, or at least the prices.' He thought to himself and then whispered. "Skills"

[Skills]

{Magic} {Martial arts} {Blacksmithing} {Alchemy} {Enchanting} {More}

'I feel as though everything will be useful but how should I start? Blacksmithing does not seem feasible until I have my own place, and the same with alchemy. Maybe magic would be the best place to start and it seems fun.' He thought as he considered his options.

"Magic" Yue once again whispered

[Magic]

{Basic guide to magic basics {Intermediate guide to magic basics {Best guide to magic basics

Shop coins: 50} Shop coins: 100} Shop Coins: 200}

{More...}

"Sell" He said quietly, already inside the vehicle on the road.

[Sell]

{Worn Classy Clothes {Yueliang's Cell Phone

Shop coin: 50} Shop coin: 100}

'How do I even get shop coin quickly without quests or something?' He thought to himself

"Master if you would like, the system can offer you what you would like for an exchange. I can give you what you want in exchange for services rendered. Thus once you sign an agreement you will acquire said skill, ability, or whatever you desire. However, in exchange you must pay something of equal value either over a short specified time or something you have on you like trade skills. Although, I do not see that happening anytime soon, thus how about a contract?"

'What are the details of the contract Yang?'

"Well, Yueliang, will acquire blacksmithing, enchanting, and alchemy best basics, level 1 skills. However, at each level of each skill you will have to produce something of System Yang's choosing. Of course I will not make things too difficult for you. Although if you try to break the deal, the system will take all skills and abilities at that time to cover the cost of said skills and as compensation."

'Seems like some harsh punishment, however seems like you get more out of it than me?'

"What the system gets from each level helps you as well, as they will be to level up the system."

'Well in that case, let us add something to the deal. I would like the best of martial arts and magic basics as well.'

"Alright, however in exchange you will also have to hunt beasts once you hit level 2 in martial arts and magic to pay me back, or pay me back double in shop coins later. You may choose when the time comes."

'Sounds good, I agree to it all.' He said to the system through his thoughts.

[Notification: Yueliang Haizi will now have the knowledge of {Best Magic Basics}, {Best Martial Art Basics}, {Best Alchemy Basics}, {Best Enchanting Basics}, and {Best Blacksmithing Basics} all level one loaded into his mind. Please wait 5 seconds for full instant data transfer.]

He then thought to himself. 'At least this way I will be ready for a fight should I need to be. I really do wonder why they kidnapped me and not just kill me. Even if they took into account the amount of money my family has give me an inheritance, it still does not activate until my service in the spatial wars begins. Unless they want something, or are they coming because of my new girlfriend. If that is the case I really need to be careful not to cause her or her family troubles.

'Well either way it will be awesome having all these new Skills. Next I really should get a stealth and teleport ability as those have a myriad of uses that I can only imagine. However will still be insanely useful later. Anyways I look forward to trying out all my new Skills soon.' He thought to himself as he waited.

'Wow these five seconds feel like five years, I am just so excited. I never would have guessed such things exist in this world. Plus if I ended up practicing without the best basics who know if I would end up accidentally killing myself.'

[Notification: Now Transferring ALL Data]

'Wow this feels amazing, and is super interesting. Also it seems I will never forget it as it is sealed in my brain. However it seems, my stats are to low for now to utilize most of these to their fullest. They require roughly 20 in all main stats. It seems I will be able to add it soon I hope. As I have not checked my stats since unlocking all those skills and abilities.' These where his thoughts as he felt his whole body feel lighter, more comfortable, and his brain felt like it was free in and open sunny garden rather and enclosed in the dark skull that it was. It is difficult to describe how wonderful everything felt. And it all happened in an instant.

'Status' He thought to himself as he felt he really needed to be ready for whatever happened. As it has already been 5 minutes since getting in the vehicle yet the normal speed people drive at these days is roughly 321 kilometers per hour. So He figured they must be going to another city.

'Ah, I love the feeling of increasing my stats. Oh shoot, I am going to black out again.'

Ding.. Ding.. Ding.. ....

----8 minutes later----

Slap "Wake up" Punch "Get up already"

Puagh

"Wake up Lord Haizi, there is someone who wants to talk to you" A talk muscular hitman looking person said as he withdrew his fist.

"So we finally arrived it seems..." Yueliang said then spoke once again still very calm. "However it seems I do not recognize you. Would you care to tell me what you want, where we are, and who you are?"

A man in a white classy suit stood up, and his nice black pulled back hair settled as he stood. Then he began to speak as he walked closer to Yueliang with his piercing purple eyes staring into Yue's. "It seems you know you were taken, however you still do not know why? It seems we have a lot to talk about, however first let us get the pleasantries out of the way. You may call me Zuzhang....
