Chapter 5 Face-Slapping Store
Chapter 5 Face-Slapping Store
Ding!
[You have successfully face-slapped a person: +10 FS Points]
[You have successfully face-slapped a person with two bystanders watching: +10 FS Points]
Roland stared at the screen in puzzlement.
When the System mentioned 'face-slapping' earlier, he thought that it was the literal kind of face-slapping where he would need to literally slap someone in their face. Heck, the System even said that he should ready his hands for the face-slapping, so it further solidified his initial thought about the matter.
However, only now did he realize that it was not what he initially thought.
"So, face-slapping just means to embarrass people?" He muttered under his breath.
As if to answer his question, the screen flashed, and new contents were displayed in front of his eyes.
[Face-Slap: The act of embarrassing or insulting someone who looked down on you. Giving them a taste of their own medicine. A sweet revenge that is served immediately.
Source? Trust me bro!
]
Seeing that, Roland was quite surprised. He did not expect for the System to respond to his question.
However, thanks to that, he also understood the functions of the System a little.
At the same time, he also secretly heaves a sigh of relief.
'Fortunately, it was not the literal kind face slapping. Or else, with my scrawny body, wont I die if I the person I slap decides to slap me back?'
And according to the information he was forcefully injected, as long as he does this face-slapping thing to people, he will gain rewards such as the Face-Slapping Points which he can use to buy items in the Face-Slapping Store which sells a variety of items.
After confirming that everything was real, Roland now had the time to think about the System more clearly.
The System only required him to do one thing. To face-slap people.
The requirements it set was that he could not randomly face-slap people. Meddling in others would not earn him Face-Slapping Points, even a little. He must be directly involved with the incident in order for him to receive the rewards.
In other words, he must constantly search for people that look down on him, and then proceed to embarrass them. The more people were present on the scene the better, as he could also earn points from the bystander's reaction.
Earlier, Roland was not thinking about anything when he waved the 1000 Global Dollar bill in front of Miss Stacey and the sales lady. He wanted to prove to them that he had the money to buy the items and was not just randomly picking things on the display cabinet.
In the end, this unintentional act of his ended up earning him his first hard-earned face-slapping points.
Speaking of points, Roland decided to take a look at the Face-Slapping Store where he could spend them.
[Face-Slapping Store: 120 FS Points]
[Physique Enhancement Potion Level 1: 50 FS Points.
-Enhance all of your bodily functions or overall constitution to the peak of a level 1 human.]
[Soul Enhancement Potion Level 1: 50 FS Points.
- Enhances your mental fortitude, memorizing skills and soul related functions to the peak of level 1 human.]
Other products include secret recipes, knowledge, and even skills that could affect his daily life such as driving skills and many others. Their prices started from the 10 Face-Slapping Points mark all the way up to more than 10000 Face-Slapping Points per item.
Although there were a lot of items listed in the Face-Slapping Store, these two products, the Physique and Soul Enhancement piqued Roland's interest the most. They were novel to him and if what their description described about them was true, then they were even more valuable than miraculous items. He thought that he must buy or obtain them at all costs if they were proven to be effective.
At this moment, Roland already has 120 Face-Slapping Points available for himself. The 100 came from the 'sign-up' bonus while the 20 was the recently obtained points he received from face-slapping the sales lady with two people present as a witness. 120 FS Points was more than enough for him to buy for both of these items.
Roland wanted to buy them immediately, but he was not sure what kind of side-effects it would bring to him yet, so he held himself back.
Roland put this matter at the back of his head. It just so happened that they arrived in front of the nearest cashier.
With Miss Stacey assisting beside him, the cashier put up a tense, and respectful expression as she scanned the items he fancied one by one.
"That would be 59.5 Global Dollars, sir!" The cashier said with a smile after she was done scanning the last item, which was also the most expensive one- the shoes that was around 20 GDs.
Hearing that, Roland was quite surprised. He thought that he would be paying over 100 GD for all of the items he picked, who would have thought that it was only 59.5 GDs in total?
He could not help but look at the sales lady again to see her reaction.
Compared to his 1000 GD bill, 59.5 GD was nothing.
When Roland looked at the sales lady, he noticed that her head was lowered probably in shame of what she did earlier. Roland could only shake his head towards her. Although this was a humiliating experience for her, she needed this to learn a valuable lesson to never look down on anyone. This time, she must have already regretted her actions.
Anyways, this thing no longer mattered to Roland.
As it was only 59.5 GD, Roland did not even bother to use the 1000 GD bill anymore and instead took exactly 60 GD from his pocket that he got earlier as a change from the 100 GD bill at the fast-food restaurant before handing it to the cashier.
After he was done paying, he took the change as the cashier smiled and handed him the items packed inside a handbag.
Although he was already quite rich at this moment considering the money in his bank account, his old habits of saving even up to the last penny still popped-up.
He pocketed the 50 Global Pennies without any expression.
And true to his words, Roland indeed wanted to leave the store immediately.
So, he took the handbag and prepared to leave the store.
"Excuse me sir, do you still want to go shopping? I can accompany you and be your guide. I promise you a very satisfactory service," Miss Stacey suddenly suggested with a smile after seeing that he was really about to leave.
Roland looked at the item in his hands again. Although he had already finished spoiling himself, it was alright if he walked around to 'window shop' for real this time, right?
After thinking about it, he decided to stroll around once more to 'broaden' his horizon.
Roland smiled at Miss Stacey before saying, "Alright. But I'm more concerned about you, don't you have any work to do?"
