’I am rich.’ Clovis thought while looking at the money in his account. ’Or not… this is the group’s money. I think I can register them first in Another World Mall before giving them the money the next day.’
However, his thoughts were cut short by the receptionist.
"Are you sure you want to keep this, sir? Do you not wish to sell it?" The receptionist asked while looking at the beast soul.
"Yeah. I will keep it." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. With this, he had two beast souls at the moment.
"This is the information about the beast soul." The receptionist handed a piece of paper to Clovis.
Beast Soul Information.
Name: Venom of Yurlunggur
Tier: 2
Description: Allow the user to release a potent poison from their mouth.
Clovis couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. On the one hand, it looked extremely useful for short-range combat. On the other hand, he didn’t plan to use it and even if he gave it to Jay, the latter wouldn’t accept it.
’I don’t know the reason why Grandfather told me that if I wanted to become an explorer, I shouldn’t merge with a beast soul… but I guess I should follow his instructions. In the end, my grandfather is much more powerful and experienced in this matter.’
"Alright. Thank you very much." Clovis politely nodded to the receptionist.
"Thank you for using our service." The receptionist politely bowed to him.
Without hesitation, Clovis immediately headed back to his inn, preparing to enter the Another World Mall.
"I sold only a little of my portion since I got a lot of money from Jay and Kanaria’s portions. In addition to the cash prize, I think I will have about 85 thousand in my otherworldly balance. This is a big amount of money. Clovis fell silent for a moment. "Now that I think about it, shouldn’t I check the thing in my house?
"No, wait. What if I use this opportunity to reveal the mysterious power of the Hacfield family? I could tell them that my evolution to Tier 1 Explorer is because of this mysterious method, right?
"I could use this as an excuse to slowly introduce them to the items from Another World Mall. Ah, that’s right. I should also find a cook. With this, I can buy a lot of things from the Another World Mall. If I can share the vegetables with the others, we can get stronger together.
"With this amount of money, I think I can increase the purchase limit. And after a while of hunting Tier 1 and Tier 2 beasts after the evolution, I can increase the visit limit.
"Also, I need to balance it with the membership upgrade. Still, should I give them the clothes to protect them?
"For now, I think I will use this to upgrade the purchase limit as well as the membership. Depending on the cost, I might even upgrade it twice."
Clovis pumped his fists. His progress was extremely fast at the moment, but he knew that once he became stronger, it would become much harder to progress. That was why he had to plan his move early.
Clovis continued thinking about his current plan until midnight arrived. Without hesitation, Clovis teleported to the Another World Mall.
As soon as he reached the mall, he opened the screen panel to check his status.
[Name: Clovis Hacfield.]
[Membership: Level 4 (Novice)]
[Money: 87,330 Otherworldly Coins.]
[Item Limit: 6/Visit]
[Visit: 0(1)/Day]
"Oh!" Clovis became excited after seeing the amount of money. He never thought that it would be this easy to get money. Then again, he had endured a lot of life and death battles, especially against the Tier 2 snake.
In fact, the Tier 2 snaketo drop essence alone gave him about forty thousand dollars. Unfortunately, because of the injury, he couldn’t do much afterward, causing the rate of their kills dropped significantly.
If he wasn’t injured that severely, he might even get a hundred twenty if not a hundred thirty thousand dollars after the competition.
Still, Clovis was pretty satisfied with this progress.
"Now that I think about it, the higher the monsters, the more expensive the essence, right? In fact, Essence Bank won’t have them in stock and usually only releases them during an auction. I guess I shouldn’t think much about money right now since there will be a lot to earn in the future."
Clovis let out a sigh. Before upgrading his item limit, there was something much more important.
Clovis opened the membership again to check the cost of the upgrade.
Membership: Level 4 (Better Novice)
Upgrade Membership: 10,000 Otherworld Coins/Month.
Benefit: Boutique Upgrade
"Yeah. The upgrade after this won’t affect the number of items because I can upgrade it myself. This Another World Mall is quite tricky to use, but it has a simple approach." Clovis gulped down and pressed the upgrade button.
In an instant, ten thousand coins instantly disappeared from his pocket.
"Kh." Clovis gritted his teeth, knowing how painful it was to have all this hard-earned money gone.
He noticed that the boutique was shining a bit more brightly before returning to normal. There didn’t seem to be any change in the boutique, but he chose to focus on the membership first.
Membership: Level 5 (Better Novice)
Upgrade Membership: 20,000 Otherworld Coins/Month.
Benefit: Boutique Upgrade
"The benefit is the same. But if I upgrade this, I will only have fifty thousand coins left. Well, this should be enough, right?"
Clovis lowered his head for a moment, pondering carefully. He believed that fifty thousand were enough for the time being, so he pressed the upgrade button one more time.
Like earlier, the boutique shone brightly to show its transformation. Even though he believed he had done enough, he still couldn’t help but look at the membership, which completely defeated him this time.
Membership: Level 6 (Better Novice)
Upgrade Membership: 50,000 Otherworld Coins/Month.
Benefit: Store +1
"Oh?! I guess every three levels, there will be a new store. I wonder what is going to open this time. Don’t tell me, a kid store? A bookstore? Or maybe another clothing store?"
Clovis was kind of curious, but if he upgraded it once more, he wouldn’t have enough money to last him for several days.
Hence, he chose to go to the boutique store this time.
Clovis noticed a few things in the stores. It seemed that the boutique sold things other than the top. He noticed trousers or sweatpants.
Name: Lazy Vampire Sweatpants
Description: The sweatpants made for lazy people. It has a magical effect that makes the user have the urge to train their bodies.
Effect: Energized Effect and Agility +3
Price: 6,500 Otherworldly Coins.
Name: Minotaur Jeans
Description: Jeans made with the minotaur in mind. It can be used by others as the material can stretch so far. It can even hold a lot of things inside as big as the minotaur’s legs.
Effect: Small Storage
Price: 5,800 Otherworldly Coins.
"These two… I don’t think I need the jeans right now. But the sweatpants are quite interesting. Should I get a pair for me and Jay? Nah, let me see the other things first."
Clovis moved to the female section to see if there was another item he could buy for Kanaria.
But what he found couldn’t help but make him bewildered.
Name: Elf Shorts
Description: Perfect for moving around in the forest, tailored for the elves.
Effect: Agility +5 and Camouflage +1
Price: 7,200 Otherworldly Coins.
Name: Magical Skirt
Description: A magical skirt that is imbued with gentle magical energy.
Effect: Charm +3 and Cooling Effect
Price: 5,200 Otherworldly Coins.
"What the hell with this boutique? The shorts for elves? A magical skirt? But both of them barely cover anything. Do they make it sexy but impractical? But the effect is so freaking useful." Clovis clutched his head.
The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
The shorts looked like they would benefit Kanaria, but at the same time, she would definitely think of him as a pervert.
"Kh. Who has this Another World Mall? The guy who creates this mall must be a pervert." Clovis shook his head helplessly. However, his eyes were still glued to the shorts because of how useful they were.
However, he noticed one more thing.
Name: Mysterious Silk Jacket
Description: A jacket made of special thread that is very durable. It can act as a small pillow, reducing the impact.
Effect: Defense +7
Price: 8,800 Otherworldly Coins.
"…" Clovis fell silent for a moment. On the one hand, this jacket was extremely useful for him. If he wore it on top of his shirt, it would definitely improve his defense by a lot. The attack from the Tier 2 snake might not injure him that severely anymore. On the other hand, it didn’t seem that the others would find use of it, even though this jacket was the most normal one.
"Should I?" Clovis thought for a moment. "Maybe I should buy this jacket for me, the sweatpants for Jay, and the shorts for Kanaria. Well, I am going to introduce it sooner or later, so this might be a perfect chance like maybe for a celebration. We don’t have a cook, so I can’t introduce the food right now. These items will be perfect substitutes."
Clovis pondered this matter carefully and decided to buy them, which totaled 22,500 Otherworldly Coins. In addition to the membership upgrade, he had spent more than fifty thousand coins.
He still had about thirty five thousand, which he planned to spend for the item limit upgrade and saved the rest for later.
