NOVEL NEXT Chapter 51
Chapter 51
-------------------------------------------
After securely storing the Pokeball, Adrian looked around himself to notice the changes in the surroundings.
The thunderclouds had somewhat calmed down, though a few discharges were observable from time to time.
The sky had turned from pitch black to grey in color and the winds blowing had slowed down a lot too.
Adrian shivered as he remembered the tyranny of the legendary Pokemon.
(...oh fuck! Thank God my brain functioned at it's top capacity. Otherwise...I dare not imagine...)
While he contemplated by himself, the system notification rang in his mind.
<Hello~~ User, why are you standing still like this? Are you troubled by something? Can I help?>
Unlike the wall of text before, it was voice prompts now.
Even the tone of the voice was not cold and mechanical, but it was soft and soothing to hear.
Adrian felt like hearing the voice a bit more, so he began to ask some questions.
[No, I am fine. Umm... what happened to the system before? It wasn't like this before, right?]
<Amazing! You noticed?! Ahem.. Yes, User.. The thing is... it's a Secret~~!>
Adrian face palmed himself mentally, as he could somehow decipher that he was dealing with an AI somehow.
He regained his calm and asked again,
[So, I was wondering something. Where are my Grimer and Clefairy? I can't sense them at all.]
<Attention! Both Pokemon have been severely harmed outside of the system space>
<Booting POKEMON CENTER Functionality>
<Yahoo~ Your Pokemon have recovered completely! You can call them back anytime you wish to!>
Adrian stood still in shock!
POKEMON CENTER Function? Does that mean instant healing of his Pokemon from now on?!
(...calm down Adrian!.. hu..breathe...this system seems pretty friendly...doesn't that mean that I can exploit it?...)
Adrian's bad behavior started to kick in, as he tried to test the limits of the system's generosity.
[System, I was thinking that.. I nearly died in the other world. It would be too much if I die like that right?]
<Of course! User must stay alive! No matter what!>
[Yes, Yes. I was thinking the same too, but the items I collected were with my subordinate and I have nothing on me.]
[How I wish I had a means of getting the items when I needed them the most...]
<Awww.. it sucks, doesn't it?..I know!>
<SHOP Functionality Booting~>
<Function Established! User only needs to desire opening the SHOP & the menu shall appear in front of the User!>
<For the meantime, User shall be given this too!>
<You have obtained 5 SHOP COUPONS!>
<With these, you don't have to pay immediately. The funds would be deducted from the future wealth earned by the User.>
<The cost would be in the terms of the Other World's Currency.>
<Earn a lot, User!>
Adrian became very excited at that moment. He had successfully duped the innocent system into believing his craptalk.
(...alright, let's check it out! SHOP!...)
At that moment, a table appeared in front of Adrian, as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
-------------------------------------------
SYSTEM SHOP
* POTION 1000 Gold Coins
* ANTIDOTE 500 Gold Coins
* PARALYZ HEAL 1500 Gold Coins
More Products Coming Soon!
-------------------------------------------
Adrian was having a hard time believing what he was seeing.
(...it's fuckin costly! Who the fuck would pay such insane prices for a simple POTION?!...this system may as well rob a bank while at it!...)
Adrian was feeling very angry, but calmed himself down quickly.
(...it's not worth it to blow up right here...this system seems to be very moody! If it became angry somehow...I don't even want to imagine that!...)
(...I have the Coupons anyway, let's just use them when I need. The Pokemon could be recovered with the POKEMON CENTRE function. I can use those items on myself!...)
(...hmmm...it feels quite not okay yet...oh, I know...)
Adrian made a troubled expression, as he spoke to himself,
[I am so lucky to have such a great system! But... what if I lost those items again.. hah...]
Adrian hoped to milk all benefits out at early stage to avoid suffering later. He patiently awaited what the system would end up deciding.
<That's?!...umm...then, how about this?>
<Congratulations User! You have unlocked the SYTSEM INVENTORY!>
<User can store any item inside & the items shall remain in the same condition for a very long time!>
<CAUTION: Living Creatures cannot be stored inside the SYSTEM INVENTORY!>
Adrian made a guts pose inside his mind, as he cheered on for his future.
(...wuhahahaha! I can store anything I want! Smuggling and Theft would become so much easier! And nobody would be able to take my wealth away~ This fuckin ROCKS!!...)
Adrian tried to mask his happiness as he made a solemn face and spoke,
[Alright, I feel much safer now. Thanks System. Now, let's LOG OUT and go to the other world. It's time for payback!]
<Logging out User~>
<Have a safe trip! And.. remember to call me~!>
Adrian's figure disappeared from the place, as the thunderclouds settled down.
The battle begins now.
