Chapter 1234 System Shop

Chapter 1234 System Shop

"What the hell just happened?" Rey stared at the exit unblinking as if he was scared of Gary popping up in front of their face again.

"Fuck. Whatever that was. Good riddance. I hope we don't see that bastard again." Madan swore.

"That guy is definitely not upto anything good." Lan Deming agreed.

Liam only smiled a little. "Unfortunately... we will see him again. I am willing to bet everything we have on that."

"Ah? Bro? Why are you saying that?" Rey rubbed his temples.

Liam's smile faded as he turned to face his companions. "Because, Rey, characters like Gary don't just appear out of nowhere and make offers like that." "He's clearly connected and knows things about this place that we don't. Moreover, he has marked us. Ignoring him will probably be useless. He will come after us no matter what."

"Shall we just use the teleportation token then?" Rey suggested with worry.

Liam shook his head. "If we do that, then we will be the ones losing out. Let's first pay a visit to the system shop and see what we can get from there."

Everyone nodded and the group quickly left the restaurant after ordering and swallowing one of the cheapest available delicacies.

The system shop was located in the heart of the island that was much more grander and opulent than most of the streets they had seen so far. The crowd on the streets thinned out and very few people were walking by.

Liam's gaze shifted as he looked up at the staircase that was winding toward the first floor. Perhaps there was better stuff there. He began to walk towards the staircase when a fairy quickly flitted over to stop him.

"Excuse me, do you have the medallion of the shop? You cannot access the higher floors without the medallion."

Liam paused, looking at the fairy with a raised eyebrow. "Medallion?"

The fairy fluttered in place, her wings casting a slight shimmer in the air. "The medallion is a proof of membership, sir. Only those with enough status and wealth can access the upper floors." "It's where we keep our most valuable and rare items. You must have a medallion or be accompanied by a member to proceed."

"Alright, how does one obtain this medallion?" Liam asked, his voice calm and measured.

The fairy explained that the medallion was typically awarded to individuals who had spent a significant amount of mana cores in the shop or those who came from prominent backgrounds and had their status verified. Alternatively, Liam could be nominated by an existing member and would also qualify if his reputation in the shop was high enough.

"Thank you for the information," Liam said, nodding to the fairy. He almost forgot that reputation was a thing in these shops and it looked like his reputation from back on earth did not carry over.

He then remembered something else. "Would being a grandmaster help?"

"No, I am sorry, sir. That-" The fairy began to respond, annoyance flickering on her face but she suddenly stopped talking. "What did you say? Grandmaster?"

Liam nodded, maintaining a calm facade. "Yes, I'm a Grandmaster Alchemist. Would that qualify me for the medallion or at least some access?"

The fairy's demeanor shifted almost instantly, her annoyance giving way to a mix of surprise and respect. She gulped hoping that she did not inadvertently offend some big shot.This material is derived from n0v£lbin•
