However, that wasn't all since she continued to pull out even more things from her bags, when Bernard saw her pulling more stuff he couldn't help but become a bit worried she had been pulling more stuff from her bags that he felt that she was doing this intentionally for him to spend his credit points however, he soon calm down and didn't think much about it.
In the academy three types of marketplace were popularly known among students and military personnel, the first was the normal convenience stores, which one could easily find just by taking a walk out of your comfort zone, and the second one was the local market which sold things for dirt cheap amount however as much as they sold things for dirt cheap amount it was also the same way a person could get scammed or buy fake items.
It was as simple as that and even if the person was to go back to get a refund from the local market not only would the person not get a refund but the person would also be chased away, to be honest not all vendors were normal people some were even strong symbiote users that choose to live a calm and quiet life.
And thirdly, this one was even more popular than a convenience store. It was just like any local store that could be seen around the world, however, the only difference was an online store could exist anywhere while a local store needed a bustling place to survive. An online store was very expensive, but still easily sold your everyday items such as food, clothes, weapons, and other things that any person would find important.
Another advantage of an online store was the fact your items could be teleported right in front of your door, which was something a convenience and the local store could not do, and not even the speed of the time you purchase an item and the time you receive it was comparable, in a convenience and local store you needed to walk around looking for what you might like and want, which takes time but then with an online store you don't need to pass through all these stress.
However, one of the things that made people to still use convenience and local stores was the fact for an item to be shipped directly to your doorstep you can either rent a teleportation device or buy one, but then none of them were cheap and no one would easily lend you their teleportation device, otherwise, you would have to receive your item through a collection point or an airdrop, however, this was risky considering the item could be damaged.
Although the military academy had a collection point where you could receive your item for students however it do not support an airdrop since it was dangerous, but then other than buying your everyday items, the online store could also be used to swap items such as your girlfriend, beast weapons, utilities and all sort of things that a person would find important.
However, to access an online store to sell any items the seller must be popularly known for selling genuine stuff and must be trustworthy as well, otherwise, the profile would be banned since fake things could also be sold but then compared to a local store it wasn't rampant since trustworthy online vendors had their online profile mark to show they were not only verified and recognize by various popular organizations and the military but trustworthy as well.
The same thing applies to anyone who wants to swap their girlfriends, other goods, or beast weapons since there were particularly vendors that do this for individuals who don't know how to do it, however after each transaction they would have to pay extra fee as well, compared to normal individuals students do not get scammed easily considering every online vendor that sells to a student, understood that they were under the military, with a military ID the chances of getting a fake item or scammed was less down zero, except the online vendor was strong enough to go against the military.
So far no one had ever been known to go against the military and ever got scot-free, they either die mysteriously or go missing by accident it was as simple as that, however, most of these people who die mysteriously or go missing by accident were called explorers.
Explorers were bold people who were cable of exploring planets on their own to find unique exotic and exclusive items from other unexplored planets and put them for sale, they were the type of people who didn't work for the military simply because they despise them for being over strictly so they choose to work for a private organization who then provide learnable skills and let them use their teleportation devices to explore other planets or wormholes.
"So what do you want to buy young man?"The old lady said with a wide smile on her face, and looked at him.
Bernard couldn't help but look at the old lady before he looked at the items she had put out for sale, usually left for him he wouldn't be here considering he didn't need anything, although the students were allowed to wear casual clothes on weekends even though Bernard didn't have any of that he still didn't bother, he was satisfied with the free things that were provided for him by the military so he wasn't going to waste precious credit points, except he was about to graduate from the academy only then would he start thinking of buy clothes for himself.
However, today's case was clearly special, was why he was willing to come to the marketplace, even at that he didn't go to the convenience store for the simple reason their things were too costly, even when sometimes the quality of product they sold was the same thing with the ones from a local store, besides that the reason today's case was special was that the purpose of coming there wasn't to purchase clothes but to purchase something he thought would either reduce the effect of the sun or temporarily stop the sun penalty from being triggered.
What's more, there was no better place to shop for things related to vampires than a local store.
