Worrying choices

*Pah

Seeing something abruptly thrown toward my face, I instinctively catch that thing and found that it's a bundled of dirty and worn-out money.

"This is?"

"Y-you catch it quite well, hmph! It's the payment for the vegetable. Just take it and be grateful! If it not because of me, you would have trouble getting money and live up till now!"

He seems flabbergasted for some reason but I didn't pay it any heed because I am quite surprised with my reflex and swift movement from before. The thrown things pictured clearly in my eyes, and my body moves the way my mind wanting to which very a refreshing experience.

But, when I still immersed in that feeling, I suddenly found the young man start to walk closer toward my garden from the corner of my eyes.

"Hm? Wait a minute young Rizal!"

Please don't harvest my vegetables! I have a promise with the system to sell any excess vegetable, and my precious also would coming. If I didn't serve her with anything, I would be too ashamed to meet my grandchild later.

"What? This is mine now that you already take my money!"

Money?

Oh yes, how many again...10 thousand (Not even 1$).

But, there is still a lot of cabbage and water spinach in my garden.

"Young Rizal, I can't take it! Also, the price doesn't seem right. This is too few."

I hope he is mistaken with the amount of money so he won't get swindled by a bad guy later.

"D*mmit b**ch! You already take my money yet now grumble with the price!?? How shameless of you! You already one step to the grave and yet pretend to be senile now!?? If you die later, I won't even help you dig your grave!"

But...

"*Sigh. As much as I don't want to cause trouble. I just hope to live peacefully."

Shaking my head, I then walk slowly inside my home, leaving behind the gleeful young man.

I know that it would be bad for my future. Someone who taken things for granted would ask even more later but there are really not many that I can do.

"I really hope that it's just a misunderstanding between us but..."

It seems very unlikely now.

"System, I want to buy a security service."

System: Your balance is not enough to buy even our outdated security service. Would you like to take a "Pay Later" feature?.

"Yes"

***

Shaking my head and then heave a sigh of fatigue after looking at the empty plot of the garden of mine, I then recall my conversation with my new friend of mine a few days ago.

Pay Later is a credit system with 5% of interest per month with only up to 15% per year. I never intend to use such a wicked and hateful feature.

I am kinda traumatized by it which was why I didn't and never consider such an option in the first place.

But after looking at the greed and anger on the young man from before, it seems that I can't take this matter too lightly.

Before and at first, I found the young man, despite having a problem with his view and way of doing things, he never taken things too far which was why I always sell my products to him.

But, now I found that his way of doing things now is kinda weird.

"It is as if he finally broke all restraint. Is he dealing with something unimaginable? I hope he is fine."

That's why talking with such a person is a bad idea. They tend to never listen and have a tendency to get angry easily. It is better to make a countermeasure rather than dealing with him right after he is knocking right on my door.

System: Installing the security system...Please wait...Current progress 1%

If I wait for the money to be enough, I am afraid my precious will saw something unpleasant so it's better if the service starts as soon as possible.

"By the way, my friend. What is this security system do again?"

While waiting for the progress to finish, I then ask as such to my young friend. I never ask before because I am not interested but now I can't help but get curious.

System: It is a normal steel fence. The difference is, it can display something that the owner wants people outside wanted to see despite peeking from above it. I can set your garden as a plot of empty land all the way to the back.

"...That's very interesting. It is almost the same as how my friend does."

System:...

"But, I am quite worried it's not enough. Oh well, it's better than nothing, I guess"

System: ...Based on my understanding of that young dem---human from before, there is more than 80% chance that he won't bother you anymore. It's because he is someone with low patience so he won't bother to come when he already "know" that there is nothing to take with a peek.

"Hmm, he is not that impatient but more like an expressional person. But, maybe you are right."

System: There is no need to worry, master. The fence also quite high, and the top of it is all being installed with a special brainwave system that would make people who get closer lose their steam and interest except for anyone that already set before.

Is that so?

"Wait? What if my precious go back right after getting that brain thingy?"

When I imagine young Rizal going back right after wanting to knock on my door, I ended up wondering as such and ask the system.

System: It is exactly the reason why it's the most outdated version of a security service fence. The update was better.

"Hmmm"

Then, wasn't it better if I bought the newest version instead if I am paying for later anyway?

...No, don't be greedy. It is exactly one small mistake that would lead people to ruin in the past. My past friend even needs to flee all over the country because his debt keeps piling interest before.

"But...can you tell me the new update after that?"

System: Would you like to buy that version? I can give you a discount of 10%.

"Ho ho ho, you are really a great seller. Please do so then."

System: I understand. The previous installment had been canceled. New Security System would be installed. Progress...1...2%...---

"D**mit!! That old geezer really done it! I never expect that his vegetable to be so delicious that those people demand for more. Don't tell me he has been selling me low-quality vegetables all this time? Nonono. It's not that bad. It's true that their demand increase but so was the money. If I can ask that rotten b*stard to work harder, I can then have a good money tree. But, I doubt he will listen. What should I do? Hmm, oh right. I can just blame him for the bad product and make him feel guilty. That pushover would definitely .... agree...eh? Since when there is a fence here?"

The young man who just grumbles all the way as if wanting to vent his anger abruptly stops because of the sight that doesn't adhere to his logic. It's barely only one hour but when he came back, the sight of a fence was now protecting his money source house's all the way to the back as if claiming it's teritory.

Its height even reaches 2 meters, and there is a grand motif on its gate in the front making the before old and historic house to have a futuristic feeling to it.

Flabergasted indeed, but annoyed he feel.

Not only it appears right after he bought the old geezer vegetable, but he also can't barge in like before anymore.

*BAM BAM BAM

"Old grandpa you as*! How dare you sold a defective product to me!"

When his patience almost snapped because of anger and impatience by the reason he was here in the first place, he then suddenly flinched after a certain thought pass by on the mind that makes him go pale.

'Wait, no. I can't make a scene like this. If people heard me saying that and realize the product actually times tastier than normal, they would try to steal my source and offer him a higher price instead. If that were to happen...*shudder'

No, it mustn't go like this, at least that is what the man thinking before then he knocks on the gate politely.

But, as expected. No one opens it, and he knows exactly the reason.

"Sh*t. Now that it came to this, I can just go over the fence instead. Blame yourself for not giving any barbed wire or shattered glass or even pointy steel on top of it.

Trying to jump over the fence and just when his head just over the fence, the sight that greets him was a garden with 15 big dogs, or you can call it a wolf as given how big and fierce-looking they are as they keep looking at him just right below the gate fence as if waiting for the food (Him) to be feasted upon.

"Hiii!?"

Losing his balance in panic, he lost his grip on the fence and fall down abruptly, knocking on the jaw before landing weirdly on the ground, spraining his leg.

"Gahhh! It hurts!"

On the other hand, in the garden, while sitting on the rocking wooden chair, the old geezer just cursed at now turning his sight toward that certain source of scream and wrinkled his eyebrows in worry while looking in the air as if daydreaming.

"My friend, is he going to be fine?"

System: Yes.

"Am I really doing the right thing? *Sigh."

Mutter himself with a hint of tiredness mixed in after reading the transparent text that's currently floating in front of him.

But, after shaking his head as if wanting to get rid of any unnecessary negative thought, he then lowers his head as if in thought before speaking to the air again with eyes filled with determination.

"Now that I had a debt that needs to be paid off, I need to work harder, or else I might die on the notice leaving an unpaid debt. My friend, is there any product that could increase the ripening process, and any know-how information in order to increase my vegetable garden effectiveness?"

System: Your balance is not enough. Would you like to buy using a GD point with a converstion of 1:5? Part that's not enough would be added to your Pay Later balance.

"...Yes. Now then, let's get serious with my work."

System: All of the products will be send shortly, please wait.

"*Sigh. I don't like where this is going. I hope that I can farm in peace before things get rowdy"
