Chapter 125 The Man Behind The Camera
Chapter 125 The Man Behind The Camera
?
After Alex ate his breakfast, he just sat down on the sofa and scrolled through social media on his phone.
A few minutes later, Alex put down his phone while sighing.
"Hais, just like I thought, the video is so widespread now. What's more, my face was even clearly seen in that video."
"What am I supposed to do now?"
Alex laid his back on the sofa without energy.
But just a few seconds later, Alex sat up straight with a frown on his face.
Thoughtfully, Alex said, "In the first place, who the hell was the person that took this video anyway?"
…
In a subdivision in Pearl City.
A fat man wearing a white t-shirt is staring at his computer screen inside a dark room.
A wide smile is plastered on the fatty's face as he said, "Hehe, people really liked the video that I uploaded."
"It feels unbelievable that it even got shown on the news!
That's right, this man is not anyone else but the reason for Alex's dilemma today.
The man that took the video of Alex when he was fighting the Devouring Clown!
His name is Bert, a common courier driver.
On the day that Alex and Kris went to the amusement park, Bert was coincidentally also there for a blind date.
Unfortunately, his blind date immediately left after she saw him.
Honestly, Bert is really not a good looking man.
He can even be called directly as ugly.
Anyway, saddened by his blind date leaving, Bert was also planning to go home that time.
But it was then that the tragedy happened.
Screams from the people echoed throughout the whole amusement park.
The people started running in panic, trying to leave the place as fast as they could.
Bert was confused as to what was happening and wasn't able to react immediately.
Because of that, he got left alone by everyone inside the second floor of one of the store buildings inside the amusement park.
By the time that he realized that there was danger outside, there was already no one else around him.
Afraid of being noticed by the monster, Bert stayed still, not daring to make any movements that might attract the monster's attention to him.
But even though he was trying to be careful, Bert still made a mistake and caused a moderately loud sound.
He leaned too much on the wall, not knowing that it wasn't actually a wall but a plywood, causing it to fall down.
Boom!
Bert instantly lost all the blood on his face, causing it to turn pale from fright.
Bert immediately ducked down and started praying piously.
"Lord, please don't let me die like this. I didn't do anything bad in this life… maybe a little. But that isn't enough to make me die, right?!"
Luckily, as if his prayers got heard, the monster really didn't come to him.
It was then that Bert gathered his courage and peeked at a window to see the situation outside.
At the same time, he took out his phone to take a video.
This is probably a habit that most people nowadays have developed.
To take a video or picture of whatever events are happening around them.
That was when Bert accidentally filmed Alex.
Then after Alex defeated the monster, Bert managed to sneak out safely and come back to his house.
With the thought that he wanted to tell more people about the crazy thing that just happened in the amusement park.
But Bert didn't expect it.
The video that he posted would actually spark a great discussion on the internet and it didn't take long before it went viral.
And now, here in his room, Bert is looking at the views of his post increasing more and more.
Bert clicked on the video he posted and started watching it for the nth time.
Bert looked at the figure of Alex fighting the devouring clown with shining eyes.
"I want to become as strong as this man. I wonder where I can find him…"
…
Alex suddenly feels cold on his back while he's in a thoughtful mood.
With a strange look, he looked around and muttered, "What was that? I suddenly felt a chill for some reason."
Rubbing his hands together, Alex stood up from the sofa.
"Anyway, since I can't go outside at the moment, I better off just go to Alter Dimension to do some things."
Thinking of Alter Dimension, Alex remembered the [Shop] that he didn't check last night.
"Well, should I check it first before I go?"
Alex sat back down and opened the dungeon menu.
There, he saw the [Shop] included in the skills column.
Without delay, Alex opened the [Shop].
A new system screen appeared in front of Alex that was divided into a lot of categories such as [Armour], [Weapon], [Accessories], [Consumables], etc.
However, at the moment, only the [Consumables] category is the one that's lit up.
As for the other categories, they have a dull gray color.
Alex immediately knows that currently, only the [Consumables] is open.
"I guess I have to level up the dungeon more to increase the [Shop]'s level and unlock the categories, huh."
With that in mind, Alex decided to take at what the [Consumables] has to offer.
Then a wide variety of consumable items presented themselves to Alex on the screen.
[Health Potion]
[Mana Potion]
[Antidote]
[Air Bomb]
[Thunder Summon Scroll]
[Great Teleportation Scroll]
…
From basic items such as health potions to advanced ones like those one-time use scrolls, the [Shop] has a lot of items to offer!
Alex looked at the items in [Shop] and said, "Hoo~ looks like this [Shop] will be a very useful skill, huh."
Alex is satisfied with the [Shop] greatly.
In his head, he's already taking note of some items that he could buy on another day.
Of course, all those items are things that could affect his life.
Anyway, after browsing for a while, Alex finally closed the [Shop].
"Now that I'm done with that, I can go back to Alter Dimension now."
