Chapter 151: Purchases
I finished in the warehouse and took the two slaves with me. I had them dressed again in black burlap but with no chains. These two were not being delivered to anyone as they were my own. When I brought them back to the shop, I would change the way they looked. I had plans for these two, and hopefully, I can make Zee into a proper manager that can adequately manage these two. I brought them through the streets as I watched all around while I moved. Only a few eyes glanced as I walked back to the store.
I ignored the feeling crawling under my skin as I moved through that same area as everyone else around me traveled leisurely. Many of these people had no idea the city was about to change. How it was going to change, I had no idea in the end, but it would. My plans would be moving soon, and if I succeeded and with whatever the necromancer guild was planning, I could solidify control in a way no one expected.
I knew there were way too many unknown factors in play, including the Necromancers guild. I moved through the city with the two slaves that I would keep. I would give the two male slaves that I purchased to Jackie and get paid by her father. I couldn't help but grin, thinking about what Jackie would do with her father after 'learning' from me. Jackie enjoyed her ballbusting and sitting on her slaves. I probably did not help with that either, as I couldn't care less if he was into what Jackie liked or not.
I grinned as I walked with my two slaves behind me and made it back to my apartment as I came to a decision on something I had been contemplating in the back of my head the last couple of days. My decision was about what I wanted to purchase from the system. There were so many mysteries with the System, and all I knew about were basic things. I knew what I could do with it and more or less where it came from.
Some gods made it as a game to see what happened. Apparently, the system points increased based on my personality trait, and it was seemingly rolled at random. This also meant that there must be others in this world that also had this system. The problems were that leveling up reset the shop, and you lose all the options that the system previously made available. But there was something I noticed last time I spent my points on the lottery. The system shop wasn't that useful other than the points shop. Or it wasn't useless as the Sadistic whip was something that I liked a lot and was a powerful weapon. But nothing changed me more than what the lottery gave me.
I opened the door while in my thoughts and noticed Zee at the front counter. "Ah, Zee, I meet these two slaves," I said as I saw her, and I turned to look at the two female slaves behind me. "These two will be the two that you will manage in the future after some training. I will have them trained in things you will need around the shop and take over when Freya, Stacy, and I go. You will need trained personnel, and I plan on gathering some more." I told her, and Zee's eyes were wide.
Zee smiled, and I knew that she was nervous. "Oh," Zee said, surprised, and twiddled with her hands for a second. It looked like she did not know what to do with them before she gathered herself. "Thank you, Mistress," Zee began with the surprise no longer prevalent, "You two, I will need to talk to you about what you are good at and what you know. I do not know what Mistress has done with you before, but now your task is this shop. First, I need to clean these ladies up. No noble will purchase anything from them." Zee said, and I smiled, "Mistress, may I use fabric to dress them up better so that they are more presentable?" Zee said, turning to me.
I could see her trying her best, and I nodded, "Zee, you will clean them up, and when the shop closes for the day, make a bed for them here. They will sleep in the store until we find proper accommodations for them. Now do what you need to do and report it to Freya when you can. If you do a good job, I will reward you." I finished, and I turned to the two slaves, "As of now, she is your boss. Unless I have told you something that supersedes them, her orders are my orders." I turned back, "I will be upstairs, send Stacy upstairs when the shop closes. I am sure that she has had a good day." I said with a large grin.
Zee looked at me funny, and I knew that today must have been torture to the young woman. "I will, Mistress," Zee said after a second, and I didn't wait any longer, taking myself up the stairs. I opened the apartment doors, heard the faint sound of moans and groans, and smiled again.
I was, along with my cute Tigers laying in wait. I could see their alert but happy expressions as I saw them, but I turned my attention to something important that I put on wait for much longer than I should have.

I opened the system, and I smiled at the slight increase from training the mother and son. I knew that I would have to pick up more unique slaves in the future to train them as the point increase was not ignorable. I quickly opened up the shop and picked up the knife that was available. I watched my points halve and grimaced, but the last weapon I picked up was great, and I wasn't about to ignore a knife.

Sophia's Knife
Sophia's Knife was a knife famed in the Arcane Era for the knife that killed and pleasured alike. Its victims died without knowing with screams that made the listeners tremble in different ways. This mysterious knife disappeared at the end of the era, never to be seen again until now.

I frowned, looking at the abstract description of the knife. I believe I will have to experiment to find out what this knife does. I turned to pick up the Luck Candy next, seeing even more of my points disappear, and I looked at the Agility candy longingly. Instead, I stopped shopping for things from the shop. The only other thing than the Luck candy and the knife I wanted was the agility candy. The Hedonists book looked interesting, but I would never live that type of lifestyle, and none of the talents looked interesting other than Flow Talent. It was too risky to purchase, though, so I decided against it.

I sighed, looking at these points, and I knew that I might level up before I could purchase the agility candy. I didn't regret my choices as I felt like the shop might just be a trap to keep you at the lower levels and that the gods expected you to either slaughter your way up or that the shop was to slow that slaughtering down.
I shook my head, knowing that everything I condition on the gods was speculation at best. Instead, I put the luck candy in my mouth and tasted oranges in my mouth before swallowing.
The wheel showed up in my vision, and I quickly watched it begin to spin. The wheel was the same as usual, and I hoped for the tiny sliver of twenty to be landed on. I watched, though, as, in the end, it landed on the ten. I was happy that it landed on a large number compared to some of the previous times and grinned, looking at the updated system status.

I sighed, and I leaned back, looking at the little progress I had made. I was happy about the luck, but I was not happy about the lack of progress that I had made. I pulled out the knife from my inventory and saw the six-inch knife. It was a one-sided knife that curved up to a point slightly higher than the spine of the blade. It was a simple knife with a black grip made with a soft yet durable grip that wouldn't slip easily in your hand with dark glowing enchantment lines hidden along the blade. The enchantments were easy to miss, and I looked at them with a small smile.
I wanted to study these enchantments and find out what they did. As of this moment, I did not have the time or the energy to do so as I heard a pleasured scream come from the training room. I heard Freya chuckling on the other side before I heard the apartment door open.
Stacy came in looking haggard from the day. When she saw me, though, everything changed. I could see that haggard look that I saw only seconds before turned to excitement. "Go to the training room and tell Freya to clean up the training room. I will play with you after dinner. The sooner those two things are done the faster you can scream in painful pleasure," I incentivized her.
"YES MISTRESS!" Stacy exclaimed and she moved across the room quickly and I smiled.
I leaned back studying the surface enchantments on Sophia's Knife and wondered who Sophia was.
