While Kanaria was busy with her work, Clovis was fixated on his Another World Mall.
That was right. He had just become a Tier 1 human, so he was kind of wondering what kind of change Another World Mall would have.
As soon as Clovis reached Another World Mall, his eyes were fixated on the two stores that had been opened.
"So, which one should I check first?" Clovis thought that since the grocery store was bigger, he should check the items in the boutique store first.
However, the boutique didn’t seem to offer something new. "The effect is the same even though I am a Tier 1 human now. Does that mean the grocery store is the same? But unlike the boutique, I have seen the items’ names marked as Tier 0."
Clovis slowly approached the grocery store to see if there was anything new. On the one hand, he wanted the items to become Tier 1. On the other hand, he wanted these Tier 1 items to be placed in a different place.
"Hmm…" Clovis looked at the usual basket where he would find the Tier 0 vegetables. But to his surprise, the vegetables remained the same.
"It’s still Tier 0. Then, is there any change?" Clovis looked around, feeling a bit weird. He checked on the upgrade to see if he needed to spend more money to upgrade the item to Tier 1.
But there was nothing he could find.
"What should I do? Is the Another World Mall not updating?"
While thinking, Clovis walked around to see if there was any change or not. However, he abruptly stopped when he saw that a new section had been opened. This new section was located on the back of the left aisle, so his vision was blocked earlier.
When he approached this place, he noticed that the items had been updated. In fact, there was a long open refrigerator where they usually stored all the frozen food.
Without hesitation, Clovis checked on the items.
Name: Tier 1 Nuggets
Description: Nuggets made of cockatrice meat.
Effect: Muscle +3.5%
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Price: 799 Otherworldly Coins/Package (10 Pieces)
"Cockatrice? Is that the magical chicken? The one with a snake tail?" Clovis sucked a cold breath. From the looks of it, it didn’t seem that the outer appearance was any different from the nuggets he could find in the real world.
He couldn’t help but take a look at other items.
Name: Minotaur Ice
Description: Ice Cream made of Minotaur’s milk.
Effect: Blood +3.5%
Price: 1,200 Otherworldly Coins
"It seems that the higher the tier, the more ridiculous these fantasy monsters will become. What’s next? Centaur? Maybe when I reach Tier 9, I will find something like a kraken takoyaki." Clovis shook his head helplessly, not being able to imagine it.
It seemed that the effect was reduced as well.
"Hmm. This is quite interesting. In the first place, I’m glad that the Tier 0 items are not being replaced. It seems that the other aisles that can’t be opened right now are for the higher tier. There are aquariums over there, probably for a fresh fish section. There must be other sections as well.
"And with the fact that Tier 0 items won’t be erased, it means that I can also increase people’s strength from the very bottom. If there is someone with a lower Tier than me, I can simply allow them to evolve to the next Tier by using this method.
"Of course, I’m going to calculate how much I can spend to avoid a lot of suspicion. If the people know that I have this kind of ability, they will raise me to Tier 9 and provide the money so that they can reach Tier 10… a tier that no one has ever seen before."
Clovis thought for a moment. "Still, the effect has been reduced. I can somehow understand this. If I have the same speed as a Tier 1 or even a Tier 7, I can easily reach the next tier.
"I believe the higher the tier, the lower its effect. At the same time, won’t it be good to utilize the fresh ingredients and share them with others? And at that stage, my item limit should have increased by a lot to the point that I can hold a banquet with all these items."
Clovis thought for a moment.
"The nuggets and the ice cream… Can’t I buy them and make it look like it comes from a convenience store?"
Clovis couldn’t help but smirk, thinking this was a possibility. They rarely checked their status since most people waited until they injected the essence into their bodies. So, there was no way the two would realize it.
This way, he could grow stronger together with his friends.
This would probably be the best scenario.
"Alright. I’m not sure about the taste, but this is a perfect opportunity to test my theory. Let me buy three ice creams and the race will be… nuggets? We need other things so that Kanaria doesn’t complain. Well, I will find other items in the real convenient store I guess."
"Unfortunately, I can’t upgrade the item limit right now. The item is extremely expensive. I might have to worry about my spending in the next few days or I might not have any coins left to buy these items."
Clovis let out a long sigh. To think that even after earning a lot of money, he still felt so poor that he had to think a lot about money.
"I’m really going to become the best explorer in the world, where I don’t have to worry about money anymo..." Clovis abruptly fell silent, almost forgetting about the fact that the items would become more and more expensive as he raised his tier. In the end, he would definitely become poor again.
In fact, there would be a lot of other stores to the point that keeping his money would be impossible.
"Oh shit. Do I want to start a company instead? No, how about a sponsorship? Maybe I should just find a sugar mommy?" Clovis shook his head helplessly. "Finding a good partner who is adept in business is probably the best option."
