Arthur thought about streaming while keeping his class hidden and knew that there was only one way to make that possible.
"A Spatial Storage item… only if I have that would all this be possible," Arthur said with determination.
Obtaining a Spatial Storage item this early on would be a herculean task.
'I'll have to use some shortcuts perhaps.' Arthur thought of some methods.
Arthur would still have to wait till he would be able to do them though.
'It's not like it's running away. I got plenty of time before I stream.' Arthur let go of his worries for now.
While thinking about disguises and equipment though, another idea appeared in Arthur's mind.
"I've got my in-game equipment and appearance sorted, but still need to get my real world messed up." Arthur looked at his clothes that probably needed to be changed.
While they were mostly fine, they were a bit faded and worn out.
"Winter will be here soon, may as well buy some new clothes." Arthur decided.
With that in mind, he finally got up from the bed and went down. He looked up a few clothing stores on his phone and picked one that was near him. He didn't want to walk too far or take a bus, thus the closest one was the best for him.
"Just five minutes away." Arthur looked in the distance.
He followed the directions and soon reached the clothing store. It was a multi brand clothing store and was located on the third floor of a commercial building. Though one could see it from the street as well, since it had a glass wall facing the street.
Arthur went up to the store and started his search for clothes.
He spent about an hour and picked two hoodies, a few shirts, some pants and jeans and finally three thick sweaters to wear underneath his hoodie. Having picked them, Arthur went to the check out counter.
"Will this be all?" The store clerk asked.
"Yes," Arthur replied.
~click~
The clerk scanned all the items and showed Arthur the amount.
"It'll be a total of 750 UC."
"Sure." Arthur scanned his phone on the payment screen, finalizing the transaction.
>750 UC have been debited from your account<
With the payment done, the clerk packed up the clothes and handed Arthur two large bags.
"Please come again!" The clerk said as Arthur left the store.
On the way down though, Arthur noticed that the floor right below the clothing store was a gym.
'I'll have to get started on the workouts soon too.' Arthur reckoned he would wait to buy the equipment after he had more union credits. 'The amount I have won't be enough to buy it. And I don't want to go to a gym to train either.' He thought.
With that momentary thought gone, he continued on and reached the ground floor.
"Hmm… may as well get groceries. Won't have to do a second trip." Arthur remembered.
He had finished all the groceries in the old apartment and still needed more food for the new one.
Thankfully, there were a couple of supermarkets on the way back so he didn't have to change the route at all. Arthur was happy that he had picked this neighborhood to move into.
Everything was nearby and it was quite convenient.
He spent half an hour buying all that he needed and ended up spending 200 UC on buying the groceries.
This time he wanted to buy a lot more variety as well as needed to get tons of basic items, thus he had to spend more. After all, he didn't even have something as basic as salt and pepper in his kitchen right now.
Stocking the essentials was absolutely needed.
By the time Arthur finished buying everything, he was struggling to carry them all.
"Second… Trips… are… for… the… weak…" But Arthur didn't falter and forcefully carried them back to the Wisteria apartments.
He just took it as the start of some workout, and by the time he reached the lobby, he was out of breath.
~THUD~
"Haaah!" Arthur directly slumped into the couch in the lobby, dropping the bag's on the floor to rest.
"Are you okay?" The concierge asked, seeing the sweaty faced Arthur.
"Yeah… just… tired." Arthur said between breaths.
"Do you need help in bringing them up Mister Grey?" The concierge asked.
"No, it's fine… I just need to catch my breath." Arthur replied, wanting to do it himself. 'I certainly need to start working out more.' His determination rose even more.
While he rested on the couch though, a car pulled up on the road. Arthur heard it but didn't pay any attention to it.
~clack~clack~clack~
That was until he heard a pair of footsteps.
"Mm?" opening his eyes a smidgen, he saw a young woman walking in through the entrance.
Her dark brown hair flowed behind her, while her black eyes scanned the scene in front of her.
She was wearing a pair of slim jeans, along with a crop top and a slick leather jacket.
The jacket was open at the front, revealing the pendant that hung from her neck as well as her bare navel.
It was quite clear that she was a stunner and would catch attention wherever she would go. The same happened to Arthur, and his eyes were wide open now.
But he wasn't the only one looking.
The young woman also seemed to be looking at him with a mix of intrigue and confusion.
It was hard to miss Arthur, who stuck out like a sore thumb in the elegant lobby. He had a mess of bags laying in front of him, while he looked to be sweaty.
"Who are you?" The young woman questioned directly.
Arthur almost couldn't find words to answer her though, as he was stunned.
For Arthur it wasn't because of the woman's looks though, but rather the identity of the woman.
"F-Felicia… Felicia Martel." Arthur uttered the name unconsciously.
