I returned the $3,700 back into my pocket, then I resumed picking up nice clothes. I noticed that some people beside me were glancing at me from time to time.
I didn't need to glance directly at them to notice it...
They must be wondering, 'Has money but chose to dress like this, what is the problem?'.
..To them, I was a mysterious kind of person.
I didn't care whatever was running through their minds though, what I knew was that I'd done another face slap in another supermarket.
I'd completed the quest to do it in two supermarkets before the passing of 3 hours. What I was waiting for now was to get the notification that I'd completed the quest and earned the rewards as well.
..I can't wait to see that a good $200,000 has been credited into my bank account.
I kept picking up clothes until I was satisfied, I didn't take much though 'cause I was doing so slowly. Then I began moving my shopping cart toward one of the counters where I'd pay up for everything I took.
Everything was calculated, and it rounded up to $1,000. I had $3,700 cash with me, so I just took out of it and paid...so I had $2,700 left with me. That was still a lot of money to an extent.
Then all the clothes were packaged in two nylons before they were handed to me. I began walking out of the supermarket with the two nylons in my hands along with some other customers.
..As I was walking out, people still got their gazes fixed to me.
Some were still thinking about the fact that I was able to pay for all the things I took though I was looking like this. Some didn't even take as much as I took.
A book shouldn't be judged by its cover...that was fucking true, this they'd discerned.
But they didn't know I was doing all these for one reason, to accomplish a quest. I wasn't mad, I was completely alright upstairs, so I knew what I was wearing wasn't nice to wear outside at all.
..But as known, I did all these just to accomplish a quest.
I was already walking on the road by now heading toward that corner where I dropped all the things I bought from the other supermarket and where I changed into these tattered clothes.
The aim was to reach there, change into my normal clothes since I can't wear tattered clothes back to the hotel. Then I'd carry everything I bought and most likely board a cab that would drive me back to the hotel.
..Yes, these were the plans.
As I was journeying toward the corner, I began hoping again that I wouldn't meet anyone in the corner when I get there. I was still journeying when I got the system's notification,
______
<2,000 Wealth points>
<$200,000 has been credited into your bank account>
_______
And I've gotten the notification, I fucking accomplished the quest. My heart was so glad as I was still journeying toward that corner.
And a good fucking $200,000 has been credited into my bank account...something I'd never come close to saving up when I was still working from one mere job to the other.
An amount some people had never saved up since their years of toiling...
And I just earned it from accomplishing a quest? This was just so nice. The system can truly change my life, in a matter of years to come, I was already imagining how wealthy I'd be.
..But the quest wasn't easy to accomplish though, a lot of work was involved to accomplish it.
Nothing good comes easily though. At least, the rewards I'd be receiving after putting in a lot of work to accomplish the quests given to me were so satisfying.
The amount of money received would make you forget the work you put into accomplishing something. That's what makes it worthwhile.
A good amount of money would bring good motivation to do something...
I was still walking when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I quickly brought it out and saw the credit alert on my phone. A smile couldn't help but to appear on my face the moment I saw the credit alert.
So I have more than $200,000 in my bank account currently. Yesterday, I had just $300 in my bank account, and it reduced to $150 after I withdrew $150 from it.
..Fast-forward to today, I had more than $200,000 in my bank account, this is life changing.
Trust me, I was so happy while walking on the road, my joy knew no bounds. Reflecting on everything I'd gone through and how the system was going to change my life, I see no reason not to be happy.
I kept my phone back into my pocket as I was still journeying toward the corner with a smile plastered to my face.
Now, was the usual happening? Yes, people kept staring at me as I was walking due to my tattered clothes and scattered hair.
Simply put, I was looking wretched...
But did these people staring at me know that I had more than $200,000 in my bank account currently? Did they know that I was looking tattered and poor but had money to an extent?
..I might even be richer than some of them.
Their gazes weren't new to me, so I was simply doing like I didn't notice them until I arrived at the corner. Thank goodness once again, I didn't meet a single soul there.
'I better do fast'. I thought to myself after reaching the corner and entering it.
I opened the container where I kept everything I bought and the clothes I wore out of the hotel, and they were still there. I didn't waste time taking them out of it.
And the next thing I did was to walk deep into the corner before I began changing up. In a few minutes, I'd already changed up into the normal clothes as the tattered clothes were now the ones in the nylon.
Now, did I plan on throwing them away? No. They were tattered, but I was still going to carry them back to my hotel room...
Why? 'Cause I wanted to use them as a remembrance of when I accomplished my first quest wearing tattered clothes. And again, who knows what might come up in the future.
Maybe I'd get another quest from the system that would require me to wear tattered clothes again...who knows?
Now that I'd changed up, I managed to fix my hair a little as they weren't looking as scattered as before. They weren't looking as good as they were when I first left the hotel, but they weren't as bad as before anymore.
..And now that everything has been done, it was about time for me to leave this corner.
Carrying all the nylons in my hands, which wasn't easy at all, I began walking out of the corner until I walked out of it completely. Then I walked to a certain spot where there was a high chance of boarding a cab there.
I can't carry these nylons in my hands like this all the way to the hotel...it wouldn't work. I'd get exhausted at a certain point and might even collapse if I'm not careful.
So I just stood there patiently, waiting to see if I'd sight a cab as different cars were driving past. After a few minutes of standing there, I saw a cab coming. And I was like,
'Thank goodness'.
..I shouldn't thank goodness yet, what I should hope for was that the driver would agree to drive me to my location.
I stopped the cab, then I told the cab man where I was heading to, I just mentioned the name of the hotel to him. He knew where it was located, and he agreed to drive me there.
We agreed on a price, and I didn't waste time entering the backseat of the cab with the nylons in my hands, then the driver put the cab in motion.
He drove until we arrived in front of the hotel, then I came down from it, paid him, and he drove off. Then I walked into the hotel with the nylons in my hands and headed straight to the receptionist.
Thank goodness, I didn't meet any queue there, so she was able to attend to me immediately...
She handed the key to my hotel room back to me, and as I was about to walk away, she said,
"Wow! Look at how many nylons you're holding in your hands. You went outside to spend money".
..A smile only appeared on my face without a single word flowing out of my mouth.
