"meow~"
"Hush! Go away you thieving cat!"
Looking at one of the traders who sell fish again is chasing away a dirty white furry cat. Linc saw the cat hiss ferociously, and quickly got out of there.
Linc suddenly remembered Miss Kitty who was in the mansion.
"Miss Kitty isn't eating much these days. It seems she can only eat fish."
Linc had never looked after a cat before. But he knows that cats really like to eat fish.
"Sometimes I ask whether cat breeds are royalty or not. They are too picky eaters."
Shaking his head helplessly. Linc walked over to the fish merchant, and saw the large tuna being sold there.
"How many?"
"It costs 120 AMR, weighs about 20kg. This is fresh tiger tooth tuna freshly caught from the sea!" The merchant promoted it eagerly.
"I'll buy it for 80 AMR. Along with the bonus of one plastic sardines. The total is 100 AMR."
"No kid, I could lose if I sell it like that!"
Linc, who had just pulled out his wallet, stopped his movement.
"Can not?"
Saw Linc who seemed to be about to cancel he purchase. The fishmonger just looked at him in annoyance.
"Shit, just take it!"
"Good."
Merchants, they won't show the original price of their item if it's still not purchased.
5 AMR can be used to buy a sizeable loaf of bread. 120 AMR to buy tuna is almost unreasonable.
The ocean is also not far from this place. Make the price of fish not soar expensively.
However, Linc's trust for a group of merchants was decreasing day by day. They really are terrible profiteers.
Linc has 3K AMR in his bag at the moment. However, that didn't mean he could spend it as he pleased.
If possible, Linc didn't want to sell Hore crystals anymore.
He was afraid that they would track him down using it, and that a bunch of people from global governments and perverted organizations would come to him with great fanfare.
When that time came, he would most likely have to run away from this place again.
"A summer premium even edition Platrina card set for sale! It's only 1,200 AMR!"
"I buy!"
Linc took out the money without any hesitation.
He didn't even haggle a price for this one.
"For sale Canon EOS-250D! The price is only 900 AMR! Anyone want to buy it?"
"I BUY!!!"
Linc screamed hysterically.
The market, is a very terrible place.
______
Exit the village market bazaar gate. Linc holding the camera him had just bought, and two plastic bags filled with fresh fish, didn't dare to look back at all.
He was afraid that his money wallet would be sucked dry by this group of bloodthirsty vampires.
"Meow~"
Looking to the right suddenly. Linc saw the shape of a filthy cat, flashing through the shadows of the building.
In his mouth at this time, her had a small fish that was very badly contaminated with the soil.
Linc suddenly stopped walking.
He followed the cat slowly.
Entering the narrow area of the building, Linc saw the cat again hanging out with other cats.
All the kittens here numbered about 5, each with a very thin body.
The white cat seemed to be their own mother.
"SYAH~!!!"
Aware of the existence of humans who follow him. A white cat with dirty fur, hissed at Linc furiously.
As if warning him, not to come near here.
"It's ok."
Linc crouched in front of them, and took a sardine in the plastic in his right hand.
Seeing the sardines that were suddenly given by this unknown human. The white cat approached Linc with a hiss, and took the fish quickly.
"Meow~"
""Nya~"
....
Seeing this group of kittens happy with the fish he gave them. Linc brought out another sardine.
"It's hard isn't it, to live."
Ignoring the white cat's bite when he wanted to pet his head. Linc stroked her gently.
Realizing that neither scratch nor bite worked on Linc's hand. The cat just hissed, and ate the fish a little more.
"Hey..."
The cat raised its head to look at Linc.
"...Will you be my friend?"
A demon mask, reflected very clearly in the cat's yellow eyes.
Weister Mansion...---
"So, what's that creature hanging from your clothes?"
Saw Linc who came home a bit late from the village market bazaar. Raina asked confused.
"A group of friends."
Linc answered without any hesitation at all.

Mission: "Having friends."
Task: "Complete."

Mansion, night.
It was now night, and the entire mansion was pitch black.
There was no source of light in this dark mansion except for the moonlight shining on the lonely night.
In the basement of the mansion which was pitch black. A wrinkled hand, very pale, held a white candle fearlessly with hot wax spilling over his hand.
"Just a little more... Done!"
Repaired a broken generator engine, and charged it with a 32-CA, 300 Watt hydraulic battery. Linc turned on the generator, and the lights throughout the mansion instantly came back on.
"Fyuh~"
Linc sighed in gratitude from inside his demon mask, and looked to the side.
"You know, fixing a broken generator accompanied by a zombie holding a candle in that dark basement feels really scary? Don't do that again."
Seeing the zombie who had green spots on his body ignored his words, and started slowly climbing back up. Linc shook he head helplessly.

Points: 100,000,000.

Linc wouldn't have guessed that the points him had saved up to buy combat abilities were directly used to purchase this kind of skill.
However, Linc didn't really regret it.
Thanks to this skill, electricity can again be channeled inside this mansion. Which means, the refrigerator can also be used.
Now, Linc no longer had to worry about the shelf life of the fish meat him bought this afternoon.
Stretching his body lazily. Linc returned to he room, and began to open her backpack.
"Now, my collection is growing. Soon it will be a full set of album cards."
Puts a set of Platrina premium summer events edition cards into his photo album. Linc smiled gently.
