Chapter 107: Limited Time Shopping Mall Coupon
Chapter 107: Limited Time Shopping Mall Coupon
Outside the door, Alexander paced restlessly, wanting to barge in and see what was happening. A fight was unlikely, but the atmosphere within couldn’t be good.
Finally, with a squeak, the door opened, and out came Sophia, dressed in a light blue casual outfit and jeans.
She even had the mind to change clothes? Things must not be too bad then!
In Alexander’s mind, he began to speak:
"Sophia... uh... your brother just..."
"Just what? Just changing clothes in my house?" Sophia lifted her head, her gaze fixed on Alexander.
This was too awkward!
Alexander’s scalp tingled and he was somewhat at a loss.
"Pff..."
Sophia suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, taking Alexander’s arm and saying,"Brother Alexander, accompany me to go shopping and watch a movie!"
"Don’t you need to go back to school? I’ll take you there, actually I don’t even know which school you attend." Alexander asked, surprised.
"What’s the point in knowing that!" Sophia shook her head, "Just accompany me to go shopping and watch a movie first, or else I won’t forgive you. The school isn’t far from here, I can go by myself later!"
In truth, Alexander didn’t like shopping or watching movies, but he had no choice, who made him and Isabella... get caught by her?
Alexander could only agree reluctantly.
"Great! Let’s go! Let’s go!"
Not long after the two left, the door opened again. Isabella appeared in the doorway, a complex expression on her face, murmuring as she looked at the closing elevator doors:
"Indeed, he’s started asking about the command school! It’s beginning, this time, it may be the last chance!"
...
"Eat slower!"
At a roadside barbecue stall, Alexander watched Sophia wolfing down grilled squid, finding it both funny and somewhat distressing.
"No... must... movie... late..."
Sophia had her cheeks full, her mouth smeared with sauce, her words muffled.
Her puffed cheeks, rosy as if stuffed with nuts like a squirrel, prompted Alexander to reach out. Sophia thought Alexander was going to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth, she sweetly tilted her face upward.
However, Alexander lightly poked her chubby cheeks and ran off.
"Ah! I’m going to get you!"
Sophia waved her grilled squid in agitation and charged at Alexander.
In the end, Alexander bought Sophia a milk tea to calm her down.
They watched a romance film together. Alexander had forgotten the plot after watching it and the beginning almost made him fall asleep.
But, it was a good movie!
Why?
Well, it definitely wasn’t because of the adorable Sophia asleep on his shoulder!
Mainly because the plot was... philosophical, discussing the distortion of human nature.
What exactly was distorted, Alexander didn’t notice, his attention was all on Sophia.
Leaving the cinema, Alexander planned to send Sophia back to school, but she stubbornly refused, needing to go back to get something and chat with Isabella.
Faced with the awkwardness of seeing both of them, Alexander immediately backed down.
However, this reminded Alexander of his identity as a student and the many inconveniences that came with it. He couldn’t keep taking leaves, could he?
Currently, Alexander’s stage name "Charles" was completely famous.
Of course, some people linked 44011 and Charles together, believing they were the same person.
But that made it easier to divert attention, and Alexander didn’t need to worry about exposure for a short period of time.
Going to school, finding an opportunity to reveal that he was the chosen one, this would allow him not to have to take leaves every day, the identity of the chosen one could provide quite a few conveniences.
The next morning, Alexander went to school.
The seat next to him was empty, Alexander initially didn’t pay any mind, until the morning class started, and Lucy still hadn’t come, only then did he ask the student behind him:
"Matthew, where’s Lucy? Why isn’t she here today?"
"She took a leave!" Matthew replied, then a teasing expression appeared on his face:
"Are you two having a lovers’ spat? She was here when you weren’t, and now that you’re here, she’s taken a day off!"
Lucy and Alexander were rumored to be a couple, a story that seemed to come from nowhere. That’s just how it was in school. If a boy and a girl were seen spending a lot of time together, people would assume they were dating.
Alexander quickly shook his head: "Stop joking around. Lucy and I are just friends! Do you know why she took the day off?"
"She seems to be sick!" Matthew replied, a teasing smile on his face: "Who says friends can’t become lovers? I know which neighborhood she lives in, want the address?"
Alexander rolled his eyes and decided to ignore him. But just then, a figure swayed into the room, drawing envious glances from the students.
It was Paul, also known as a Chosen One!
The school had a rule that every student must arrive half an hour early for self-study. Only a Chosen One like Paul could show up at any time.
Being a Chosen One was dangerous, but those who survived enjoyed many privileges that everyone envied.
With his nose in the air and hands behind his back, Paul walked past Alexander and gave him a cold snort.
Alexander frowned slightly. Matthew, sitting behind him, poked his back and whispered: "You better not mess with him these days!"
"Why? What’s he going to do? Just because he’s a Chosen One, can he do whatever he wants at school?" Alexander asked, puzzled.
"You don’t know? This guy got lucky a few days ago, got an A grade in a instance, and received a limited-time shopping coupon! It allows him to go on a three-hour shopping spree in a department store replica, without spending any ghost coins." Matthew said mysteriously.
"So what?"
"What do you mean, so what? Don’t you realize how serious this is?" Matthew looked worried: "For Paul, it’s a reward because he’s already a Chosen One. But if it were used on you, you’d become a Chosen One too, and you’d have to go through scenarios every month without any transitional period for newbies. Get it?"
Alexander got it.
While everyone was envying Paul, they didn’t realize the risk he took.
If there was a blank notification that could make anyone a Chosen One, even if the scenario it led to was completely safe, there wouldn’t be many brave enough to touch it in the whole school!
Once you touch it, you become a Chosen One, and you have to face life and death every month.
Many people envied the high income of mercenaries, but that money wasn’t easy to earn. It required fighting on the battlefield with weapons. How many people would willingly go to war if they weren’t forced to?
Therefore, Matthew warned Alexander not to offend Paul. The law restricted Chosen Ones from attacking ordinary people randomly.
But presenting a shopping coupon could be very intimidating, because once ordinary people became Chosen Ones, there was a high chance they would die in the horror world.
Of course, except for Alexander!
His eyes were practically glowing,
Damn, are there really such good things out there? Three hours! I have ghost pearls, do you believe I can empty the whole mall?
Alexander looked towards the figure by the window, the embodiment of arrogance.
How could he provoke Paul? After all, not only could he purchase an entire mall’s goods for free, but also solve the problem of being seen as a Chosen One by others.
With Paul’s shopping coupon as cover, nobody would suspect his identity for a while.
After the contest for power, well, Ghost Street would be completely under his control, would it matter whether his identity was revealed or not?
"Alexander..." As Alexander was considering, a tall classmate came over. His face was somewhat pale, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying, beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, and his voice trembled: "There... there’s someone looking for you outside!"
"Who?" Alexander was somewhat puzzled by his classmate’s terrified look, and casually handed him a packet of tissues: "Who could scare you like this?"
"Do... Doll..." The classmate gritted his teeth and managed to get out, "Dolly!"
Thud!
The tissues fell to the floor, and sweat quickly beaded on Alexander’s forehead.
Dolly!
That was the person Alexander had seen in the ghost pearl!
