"What! I did!?"
Fred was dumbfounded, he can't remember ever using the points that came from the system so that ain't possible.
Sensing the confusion that came from Fred, the system answered his doubt.
[The host used the points gifted last night to upgrade his Driving Skills Rank F to Driving Skills Rank D.]
This time, when Fred heard that, he was finally enlightened, then he was surprised that the system points can be used to upgrade his skill.
"So system, I can use you to upgrade my skills then?"
[No Host, this is only a time opportunity that the system will give, the host also used the 1 time conversion ticket to convert the 100 system points into 100 Points Madness that gave 10% more additional points for the host.]
Disappointment followed after the voice of the system.
"Well, where did that conversion ticket come from though?"
[Conversion ticket was with the system right from the very start. Conversion tickets convert anything that you can think of.]
Fred was stunned, with sad shaking eyes, he asked the system.
"A-anything that I can think of? Th-then… did I not just waste something very … important?"
When that thought came, his whole body froze and his brain stopped functioning.
A few seconds later a tragic cry sounded from the inside of Fred's house.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
"Stupid, stupid, Fred you're so stupid!"
After a while Fred calmed himself down.
"Sigh… no use crying over spilled milk, since it's gone so be it. I just have to be careful from now on so this won't happen again."
He comforted himself with those words as he relaxed.
Fred look at the upgrade button from the store and said,
"Well, it's fine, I'll just have to earn more points, I won't be able to buy anything even if I have those 100 points at this moment anyway." He shrugs as he closes the store window.
He checked the system a few more times before looking at the time and seeing that it's already 5 PM.
"Dang, why does time gotta flow so fast?"
Fred got up from the sofa and went to his room to choose what to wear.
Then he went out with the McLaren heading to a different mall from the one this afternoon.
Fred still hasn't forgotten that he needs to buy gifts for Alyssa's parents since he was not able to do so with Alyssa feeling 'unwell'.
He first went to a store selling alcohol and bought some popular drinks from the salespersons recommendations.
Next he headed for a store selling cups. He searched for a good tea cup to give Alyssa's mother but he did not find anything that was good.
"Hais… maybe it's because this shop is not a high class one. Maybe the one from there will satisfy me but, sigh… I don't have the budget for that."
Fred shook his head as he thought about that, in the end he just chose the most beautiful one that he found from this store and left.
After exiting the mall it's still early for the party so he decided to walk around aimlessly and he unknowingly arrived at a small street market.
He looked around to see if there's something interesting but did not find anything he liked.
Then he saw a store that looks old and dilapidated but is still open.
Fred wondered why a store like this that looks like it will be demolished by a strong wind is still open and selling things.
He subconsciously entered inside the store and saw no one manning the register.
Looking around he found a lot of curious things from dolls, books, fishing rod, there is even a sword displayed behind the counter.
Fred walked inside and went to the book shelf, there he saw a book that was gathering a lot of dust and looked so old with it's paper already turned brown because of the passage of time.
Fred picked it up and the dust scattered around. He patted some of the remaining dust before he finally saw what the book's title was.
"Noli Me Tángere." Fred read the name of the book as he saw it.
He opened it to see the inside and saw words written by hands decaying along with the paper of the book itself.
"So old? Is this one from the original copy?"
Fred placed it back down to the bookshelf after he browsed it for a little.
Then Fred went to the counter and looked at the machete hanging on the wall.
"What's that? It looks powerful and sharp."
After staring for a while, he felt unsatisfied with just looking at it so he thought of approaching it and feeling it with his own hands.
Fred looked around for a bit and still not seeing anyone in here beside him, he went behind the counter with a light jump.
Slowly stretching his hands towards the machete, he can already feel the sharpness that it exudes.
When Fred's finger touched the blade of the machete, he suddenly felt a sting so he backed his hands away.
Looking at his finger, he saw that there's a line that appeared there with a little blood coming out from it.
Fred looked at it in surprise and exclaimed, "Whoa! My fingers not even for a second but it cut me already, just how sharp is this thing!?"
He questions as he looks at that back to the machete.
As he was wiping the blood on his finger, he felt more curious about the machete.
'Wait, I remember I have an appraisal skill, let me check it for a bit'
When the thought appeared, Fred immediately used the skill.
What he saw then was an even more surprise for him.
[Lapu-Lapu's Machete]
It was only showing the name, it seems like the level of the appraisal skill is not enough to see more details about it.
But just that name is enough to shake Fred's heart.
"Is this for real!?"
