Clovis pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to act as if he hadn’t seen anything. He reacted a bit too loudly, but he couldn’t help but imagine what would happen after he ate this. No, it might be even more terrifying if Kanaria actually found out about this food.
Clovis coughed a few more times to regain his composure and said, "I guess I can’t really eat anything from the restaurant right now. That’s right. A menu is equal to an item, right?"
[Yes.]
"I see. Is there any limitation? I mean, can I stack them?" It would be great if he could eat a few portions and somehow increase his strength by a hundred percent.
Unfortunately, it seemed that they had seen through such a possibility.
[You’re able to consume all you want, but you will only get the effect of the last thing you eat. If you eat another food while the effect is still active, it will be replaced by the new effect.]
"I see. That’s a shame. I have to raise my tier even further." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. "If that’s the case, I don’t think I can eat anything from here for the time being. Oh, wait… Can I ask for a takeout?"
[It is possible if you desire it. However, you have to bring the container in.]
"Hmm? I can actually bring an item into this mall?"
[Affirmative. Like your clothes, you’re able to bring items into this mall.]
"But… Every time I’m here… I couldn’t bring my wallet… No, wait!" Clovis suddenly fell silent as if noticing something. He reached out for his pocket and noticed that the wallet was actually inside his pocket. "Now that I think about it…"
Clovis gasped. He almost forgot that the first time he entered this mall, he couldn’t bring anything other than his clothes. Whether it was his wallet or his swords, he simply left them behind.
However, he couldn’t remember when he actually forgot about this. He didn’t care anymore about his wallet or swords. In fact, after the last entry to escape from those beasts, he actually entered this place with his swords.
"Don’t tell me… the membership…" Clovis looked at Blue with his jaw wide open.
[As you expected, Master, the more you upgrade the membership, the more privileges you open. They are not included in the reward because it’s not the main reward. However, opening the boutique shop allows you to bring your wallet in. The accessory shop brings in everything attached to your body like weapons or bags.]
[After opening the restaurant, you’re eligible to bring in a small object.]
"So, I can actually bring empty containers or even other items such as watches or computers?" Clovis asked.
[Yes.]
Clovis noticed something important in this answer. "Doesn’t that mean I can actually bring people to this place sometime in the future?"
[You’re not qualified to know the answer.]
Clovis’s expression turned serious. He noticed that there were three types of answers. If Blue could answer it, it would be a normal answer.
On the other hand, if there was no data to make speculations, Blue would reply to him honestly. And the last type would be related to his current membership’s level.
He might be able to know about it once he reaches a certain level. To prove his theory, Clovis asked, "In that case, what is the reward for upgrading my membership to level 13?"
Three more levels should be the opening of a new type of store if everything went according to the patterns the mall had shown the whole time. But as he expected, Blue gave him the third answer.
[You’re not qualified to know the answer.]
This made it easier for Clovis. Now that he knew what to expect from Blue, he could take advantage of this situation.
"In that case, I’m going to tell you about my current situation. This is my stats." Clovis opened the system implanted in his body.
Name: Clovis Hacfield
Tier: 1
Evolution Rate: 15%
Brain: 37.1%
Heart: 40.9%
Blood: 30.1%
Muscle: 36.5%
Bones: 42.2%
"With this information and my current money, what item do I need to purchase from the mall? Take into account that I won’t be able to get any money within the next ten days at the very least and I don’t plan to upgrade the membership soon."
[I suggest that you focus on improving your evolution rate by purchasing the products in grocery stores, depending on what stats you plan to increase. However, you might want to purchase the Dark Gloves.]
"Dark Gloves?"
[Yes. It’s a pair of gloves made by the Dark Elves. They are thin, but very durable. They are suitable for Master, who requires high dexterity on the fingers. This will reduce skin contact and eliminate the potential for blisters. It’ll allow Master to hold your sword longer and more efficiently.]

Clovis raised his eyes, surprised by the assessment. Not only could it accurately know his fighting style, but he also gave him information that he didn’t know.
He obviously had seen these gloves, but the description wasn’t that detailed. In fact, he didn’t notice the gloves were thin and durable.
It seemed that the greatest reward from this membership was not the restaurant but Blue.
Clovis hurriedly went to the store and bought the gloves. Their performance astonished even him. Blue’s assessment was correct and he might be able to rely on him in the future.
Still, this assessment opened up a few possibilities.
If only he had the time, the first thing Clovis did after buying the gloves was to give some information about Jay, Kanaria, and Melody, even though he was just speculating their numbers. Then, he would ask Blue about the items that suited them.
After that, he would continue to look at every single item and want all the detailed explanations from Blue, believing that he might have missed a lot of details from the products they currently had.
Unfortunately, he had to leave the mall for the time being. He had spent more than twenty minutes, so they might be suspicious and started searching for him.
He would definitely continue his exploration tonight.
