Clovis’ expression turned solemn the moment he saw the glitch.
His eyes sparked a red light as the system once again appeared in front of him.
"Seriously… What is going on with this glitch? Now that I’ve discovered it, it has been happening so often."
Clovis couldn’t help but mutter because the system actually showed new information.
The first thing that glitched in his eye was a screen with ’Mission Success’ on it, but it soon glitched multiple times as the green colored screen turned red. The words had changed from ’Success’ to ’Fail,’ which implied he had done something wrong.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see any information about the mission itself.
"Did I fail? Did I succeed?" Clovis frowned. There were a lot of questions in his mind. It was clear that he had managed to protect the city, so he didn’t know what mission he had failed.
’Everyone should be safe, so why would there be a ’mission fail?’ Is it something I don’t know? A hidden mission or something? But this is just a glitch, so I don’t have to trust it blindly…’
Clovis fell silent, contemplating. "No, wait. The light that glitched first was red in color. So, did it fail first and somehow change its status to success?
"But if we follow this logic, it’ll mean that this world is not the first simulation." Clovis gulped down.
If his speculation was correct, it meant that this world had a certain purpose.
It was to correct something wrong and somehow achieve a goal. What was this world trying to achieve?
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous his speculation became.
"I can’t really figure out what this mission is all about. If there is a glitch, shouldn’t whoever created this simulation world try to fix it?"
Clovis scratched the back of his head. "Now that I think about it, there is also a mission…"
Clovis turned around and said to Reolf. "I’m sorry, but don’t panic for whatever you’re going to see next. This is the secret that no one knows yet. I’ll be back soon."
Reolf tilted his head in confusion, but it all changed when Clovis suddenly disappeared into thin air.
"Woof?" Reolf was startled, its jaw dropped to the ground. He waved his paw a few times in Clovis’ position earlier but hit nothing. It was as if Clovis had disappeared completely.
Meanwhile, Clovis had returned to Another World Mall.
"Blue…" Clovis lowered his vision. "There is a mission, right?"
[Yes, Master.]
Blue opened the system and projected it for him.
Mission: Saving Lindel City from the beast wave.
Reward: 1 Special Discount Coupon
"…" Clovis frowned. "Have I gotten it yet?"
[Progress 90%/100%]
"I see. It seems that I have to wait until the beasts are all eliminated." Clovis nodded. He couldn’t help but remember the glitch from earlier.
If this was truly not the first simulation, it meant that something had changed in this simulation.
The difference was that he now had Another World Mall.
If that was the case, Another World Mall had just become even more mysterious to him. It might just be a coincidence, but Another World Mall might not be related to the simulation.
And this mall entered the simulation world and caused a change in me.
This was the only possible explanation Clovis could come up with if everything followed the second scenario.
"Is it really changing the mission from failure to success?" Clovis had to confirm it somehow. "Blue. Is this the first time we meet?"
[Yes, Master.]
"Do you know about this simulation world?"
[According to the database, the world that Master believes to be a simulation is a world that follows the natural order of physics. There are…]
Blue gave him a lot of unnecessary details, like what an AI would do, but it didn’t give him the answer he wanted.
Clovis scratched the back of his head. "Never mind that."
Asking Blue would be useless. He might be able to get the answer as long as the mall keeps growing. To do that, he needed more money.
"As expected, Hana is the only solution right now. I don’t know how much money I can get by relying on her, but it should be quite a lot. Of course, I shouldn’t rely too much on my share of revenue…"
Clovis rubbed his chin as he fell into deep thought.
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
[Master. Are you going to use the discount coupon?]
Clovis was so focused on his thoughts that he didn’t see Blue’s message. His gaze remained blank for several minutes until he finally said, "Blue. I want to change my strategy a little bit.
"From this point on, buy everything to increase my evolution trait. Make sure that I can reach Tier 3 as quickly as possible."
[According to your request, you will need about 2 weeks if you don’t share your resource with others or 4 weeks if you share it with Jay and Kanaria.]
"I’ll get some money soon, so I’ll try upgrading the item limit to 20 if possible. Anyway, that’s my order. We’ll get a lot of resources, so I think I can focus myself a bit more. Make it three weeks."
[I’ve received your request.]
"Also, I need a lot of food for Reolf. Considering the situation, there’s a high chance that he will grow in size. Will it affect how much he needs to eat?"
[The pet food is full of nutrients.]
"So it doesn’t matter since he will feel full after eating a certain amount…" Clovis sighed. It seemed that he couldn’t do anything to speed up Reolf. In addition, the items’ tiers depended on his own tier.
That was why he wanted to focus on reaching Tier 3. This way, Melody and Ragna would also feel the benefit of Another World Mall.
He felt that the opponents would be much stronger once they reached Hana’s place.
"I guess we can solve one problem at a time since we still have two weeks. For the time being, it’s better to focus on those beasts outside the wall." Before he disappeared, Clovis added, "And buy the usual using this visit, Blue."
[Understood, Master.]
