Chapter 148: Give Me One Of Everything!!!
Inside a very normal shopping mall, a young man was going crazy.
"I'll take one of everything! I want it all! All of it!!! Don't worry. I have the money!!!
" Jack energetically shouted.
"I-isn't that super expensive?!
" The nearby Lilly was shaking from head to toe.
"Don't worry. We came here to splurge!
" Jack heroically thundered.
The shop attendant on the side couldn't help but raise a brow. Wasn't this lover pair exaggerating a bit too much? Right now, he wasn't sure whether to laugh or facepalm.
This wasn't some high-end store.
This was the
"Creamy Goodness,
" a simple ice cream shop.
By the mall's standards, it wasn't even that expensive.
Still, the young man should have avoided this place judging by his clothes. It just wasn't within his financial means.
Yet he had freaking brought a girl here. He was even making it sound like he was a young master on a shopping spree! Was he trying to impress her?
The weird part was that it was seemingly working…WTF?! The beautiful woman at his side was gazing a the full ice cream cups with horror, picturing the rising price.
"I really don't need any more toppings! Just plain ice cream will do! Actually, I'm not that hungry!
" She seemed almost in tears as she tried to save the poor guy's wallet.
Damn! She sure was a good girl!
The attendant began to imagine their story so vividly.
She did not desire for his money, nor did she mind his pitiful appearance. She just loved him! She wanted to forever remain at his side.
He loved her so much that he wanted to give her the world! How many months had he saved just for this moment? It was so goddamn dumb and silly, but he would make her feel like a princess just for this day!
Fuck, he was even forgoing his own wellbeing! His clothes were old and tattered, but he did not mind, and neither did she.
This was so damn touching!
While the attendant was having massive delusions, Jack was having mad fun looking at Lilly's expressions. She was hovering between despair and shock.
"I already told you that I have the money.
" He reassured her.
"Even if you have the money, I'm really not hungry and—
" but the rumbling of her stomach instantly betrayed her.
"Busted.
" He chuckled.
"We could buy cheap supermarket ice cream instead! If we get the half-melted one on sale—
"
"Denied!
" Jack went to pay.
The attendant gave him a look that was so heated it was almost scary. Wait, was he crying?! He freaking was!
"It's free for you, brother. Enjoy your youth!
" The man gave him a thumbs up.
On the side, Lilly was beaming. Had they just escaped debt?! She didn't know why, but did it matter?! They were saved!— or so she thought.
"Here's my card: just swipe it!
" Jack insisted.
"R-really?!
" The attendant uttered, shocked.
"Yes, really….
" What was wrong with him?
Beep!

Two gigantic ice cream cups filled to the brim.
The attendant was now looking his way with incredible admiration while mumbling how admirable he was under his breath.
"….
"
"….

"….

The two sat down and began eating. Lilly was doing her best to show how much she was enjoying the sugary delicacy, but he could sense how distracted she was.
In fact, she was already considering an intervention. Obviously, Jack had managed to get credits from his new job, but it wasn't a reason to squander it!
If he wanted to spend, he should use it to buy food supplements, a more conformable bed, or anything that would improve his quality of life!
But her thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"Follow me,
" Jack ordered, decisively heading toward the nearest bank branch.
He probably had four-digit credits in his account? He'd simply show her. They had lived on a tight budget for too long after all. Everything they ate was bought in bulk and at a discount.
He went toward a terminal.
Welcome to Trust Financial!
What Brings You In Today?
There was an AI tasked with helping him. A few seconds later, he was opening his bank account. He quickly glanced at it: it showed 2,4k something.
"See? Everything's fine in the short term, and I have a plan for the long term.
" Jack moved aside, letting Lilly see the screen.
She glanced at it, double-checking.
That's when her face suddenly twisted. It went from disbelief to shock to disbelief again and finally settled on terror.
Her whole body shook, her grip loosened, her precious ice cream cup fell to the floor. That's when she turned toward Jack.
"What's up?
" He asked, perplexed.
"The ** did you do?! What kind of contract did you sign?! How many years does it last?! Tell me already!
" It was as if she had suddenly lost her mind.
She was freaking hysteric!
"Contract? Oh, nothing of the sort. I just sold random loot to other players. It just happened to be a dungeon only I can solo.
" Jack shrugged.
For most players, the Chicken Trials Palace was impossible to complete on Hard, much less Hellish. This made the demand for earrings and necklaces insane!
"Random loot? Random loot?! Freaking random loot?! How does one make 24 942 Credits in a single day selling random loot?!
"
Jack quickly approached the terminal. She was right. It really was 24k. How?! But as he checked the transaction history, he couldn't help but pause, shocked.
A single one stood out.
20 000 Credits
Message from sender:
What the **.
What the actual **?!
That was coming from the guys worshiping him, right?
Jack couldn't help but grin: he had a SIMP!!! A rich one!!!
"Well, that explains a lot.
" He happily nodded.
"It has to be a mistake! Someone entered 20k instead of 2k… it can only be that, right?!
" Lilly exclaimed in shock.
"I'm not sure, but don't worry. We'll be doing the right thing.
" Jack's reassurance made her sigh in relief.
"You'll give it back then?
" She proposed.
"Close. We're going shopping!
" He excitedly cried out.
Jack then dragged a shellshock Lilly all over the mall. This time he could actually afford one of everything….
