"Hello sir, Welcome to Mira's Jewelry!"
The good looking female saleslady greeted with a smile on her face.
Fred walk in with slow steps. Seemingly, like a calm and confident young man he is.
He knows that in society, your personality, temperament, and the way you act is always in the eyes of the people. They are always judging you and basing there how they will treat you.
For example, try to wear dirty looking clothes and sit down somewhere where people gather.
There will be people who will stay away from you as they might think you are disgusting, dirty, and some will even think that they might catch some virus from you.
There are also those people who will not blatantly move away from you as to not be judge by others, but for certain, they are feeling awkward inside.
But, of course, there's the kind of people who will pity you and give you things.
People have personalities that differs with one another, and those personalities are the one that judge how we react to some situations.
If you are kind, you might help. If you are arrogant, you might shout at a dirty looking person with curses or the likes.
But, alas, nothing is absolute.
Besides personalities, we also have an organ that is called "brain", and this organ have rhe capacity to think, making decisions, solving problems, etc.
So being kind does not mean you will immediately help a poor looking person.
What if that poor looking person is a rapist? a robber? a drug addict? and many more.
You will first think of consequences. That is how life works.
With the way Fred conduct himself, although he is wearing cheap looking clothes that can be bought just anywhere with $1 to $2 people will treat him not as someone who knows things in the world.
Fred approached a saleslady at the counter who greeted him again when he got near.
Without beating around the bushes, Fred made a exquisite looking golden necklace appear out of thin air.
Gasps can be heard coming from the people around, staffs and customers alike.
This simple gestures of Fred might seem like a nothing, but in actuality it's a noteworthy thing!
This is because what Fred did just shows his identity... A Hunter!
In this day and age, Hunters are the most respected people. They have unbelievable powers and defend the humanity from the monster that is running rampant around the world.
Be it a low ranker or high ranker, they are people that the general populace idolize!
Having the ability that seems like from the cartoons and superheroes that they watch, childrens around the world now aspire to become a Hunter no matter what age they are!
The smiling saleslady in front of Fred was startled at first before regaining her composure. And this time, her attitude is much more respectful than before.
She told Fred that there is a separate room where Hunters are served.
She led Fred to a pretty spacious room with sofa and coffee table on it. On the wall, there is also paintings, well, let's just say the conclusion, it looks high class and luxurious.
"Please sit down," said the saleslady,
Fred took a seat and scanned the room,
'This room looks good.'
Seeing that Fred sat down, the saleslady also followed and sat down in teh sofa in front of Fred.
"First, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Julia, the manager of this shop." she smiled, she look pretty and there is this approachable aura coming from her.
Fred did not have much of a reaction to her introduction. He nodded his head to say that he get it, then just stares at her waiting for her to continue.
Then she asked, "So Mr..."
"Fred"
"Mr. Fred, What is your business today here at our shop?" she ask while her eyes are already on the pretty golden necklace on the hands of Fred.
Fred noticed her look since earlier and did not beat around the bushes,
"I want to sell this." he said,
He raised the necklace forward for the manager to have a better look at it.
When she took a closer look, the eyes of Julia started shining, she turn to look at Fred,
"Can I hold it to appraise it?"
"Yes, sure."
He let her hold it and just sat there looking at this pretty girl's reaction to see what she thinks of the necklace, though, it doesn't seem like it's necessary.
The shining eyes of the manager already told him that the necklace is a high-class item, plus, he also use the appraisal skill to it and got an estimate of about how much that item can be sold.
He only learned of this function of appraisal accidentally while fiddling with the necklace and spamming appraisal on it.
But after thinking for a bit, he thought that it make sense that the appraisal skill will have that function cause that's the use of appraising an item from the start anyways.
While Fred is in his own world thinking about things, Julia on the other hand finished appraising the necklace.
"How much would you like to sell this item Mr. Fred?"
"Well, I just want $200, 000!"
Julia made a stunned face as she look at Fred, it's not because the price that Fred quoted is high, she is actually shocked cause Fred quoted an amount that she decided to buy this necklace!
She smiled and both talk about a few things regarding the selling of this item to finalize.
After they finish the deal, they stood up from their seats and shook the hands of each other.
Fred exited the Jewelry store with a smile on his face. Then he directly headed to the mall, he is planning to buy a few clothes, and also maybe a car later.
In just a few minutes, Fred arrived at the mall.
This mall is different from the mall yesterday where a monster suddenly barge in.
Speaking of that mall, the news said that it was already handled well, and the place are already fixed. But the mall announced that they will not be opening for some time to renovate a few things.
Some people said that it was not really necessary to close the mall to renovate something in it, and because of that, conspiracy theorist started throwing random theories that they think explains the reason for the closing.
But, of course, Fred did not because he is busy with his own life.
Anyways, Fred entered the mall with light and confident footsteps. His very demeanor have change from a "normal" young man, to someone that is filled with confidence.
"It's time to shop."
