"for only 500 gold coins you can have a bottle of sacred Elven spring water and if you buy 3 you'll receive a 1 gold discount"
'wait what?!'
"who are you?"
"i'm just a humble shop selling you goods"
Thinking of all the possibilities with this voice.
'OK great now I have something I can use, and about that water isn't that too expensive? I remember a bottle just cost like 2 dollars'
"it's not any kind of water it's the elves secret water that the tree of life uses to grow, the use of a proper container to contain the product is also added to the price per piece. The delivery of items is also added later on after confirming order"
'holy moly! What is this? *m*zon? Eb*y? Don't tell me this is my cheat?'
"Unfortunately, it is likely so, as I am stuck with you till you expire "
'oh okay.. so let me get this straight my cheat is like a shop to buy items but where is the interface or dialogue box or something'
"feature is not unlocked, please spend 1000 points to unlock this feature"
'what the…is this a scam? How many points do I even have'
"currently you have 5000 points"
'how did i-'
"it is free for first time users"
'okay then unlock the interface then'

A window popped in front of me

'wow looks basic, I was expecting something more detailed"
"function not included please spend 1000 to upgrade"
'ugh, never mind'
"how do I even get money I have nothing on me"
"gold can be acquired through top up using any currency, trading in points or refunding"
"well I don't have any gold on me to top up, how much is the conversion of points to gold?"
"Points conversion to currency is currently 1:10"
I checked the interface and see there are only Four options for me right now. The Missions option has a notification on it I quickly selected it.

"where's the description? Shouldn't it be common to describe the thing you're trying to sell?"
"please spend 1000 points to unlock said feature"
….

"how about pictures? Rates and reviews?"
"please spend a total of 3000 points to unlock said feature"
'oh my god this system is capitalist as f*ck I'm going to be drained before I can properly use it'
"how about inventory?"
"please spend 10000 points to install-"
"oh come on isn't that way too expensive"
"no it is not as it is quite cheap for a simple inventory skill with no time dilation and standard 10cubic meter size"
…

'I give up , at least give me the description and pictures'

"2000 Points Deducted"
I tried to select one and it gave a simple detail about it, as there was a lot on the search results, I tried to narrow it down

So, not a lot I can use in this situation. I was hoping for same kind of upgrade for myself but turns out its all or most of it is for the system.
I wanted something for self-defense so the first thing that came to my mind was a gun (A/n:America f*ck yeah!) but then I realized how stupid it was.
Of course, it's really easy to buy and wield one since a handgun since it cost only 300 dollars on earth and when I checked the shop it was just 500 gold, that's 50 points. But can I use it effectively? The answer is nope not a chance. My new body is weak ,I have little no confidence that I can aim and shoot a handgun , I don't have any prior knowledge in shooting, and I might attract more trouble by introducing said technology.
I might manage to fool one of the assassins but there were three in total. I don't think they are stupid enough to stand still while I blow their heads off. My best bet would be to escape or hide for that I either need transportation or camouflage.
I thought of motorcycle and ATVs but they weren't really effective in this situation since I don't know the terrain that much which means I could be stuck in a ditch or fall off, the roads are far away on the opposite direction which also means I have to pass through them(assassins), the sound might attract them or other things and finally because the cheapest ones are at 10000g. That's like 1000 points id rather use that for an upgrade than a machine that I have no way of repairing.
So, I tried camouflage or invisibility. Trying my luck, I entered Invisibility.
