System Store

System Store.

[Adrea POV],

Since I can move now, I should go out and check my ranking right? Ever since I woke up, I did not see the Epic mission in the mission tab again. All I saw was mission updating, and am too anxious to wait and let the system finish, so I want to find out myself. But first, I have to wait for lily.

After a few minutes of playing with my siblings and waiting for lily to come, I finally heard the door open.

Without the need to turn around and see the person since I can sense the person's presence, I said in a calm voice: "Took you long enough".

Finally having to turn around since I didn't get an answer, I saw lily standing just right in front of the door staring at me wide-eyed with a surprised look on her face, before bursting into tears and jumping on me. Flustered by the sudden mood change, I held onto her body awkwardly. Though she's just 15 and still in her growing phase, lily is gorgeous and has the right sizes in the right places. It's not difficult to tell that her appearance in the future will be able to cause war between multiple Bases.

Having found the 'right' place to put my hands on, I held onto her waist in one hand, stroked her back covered by her long hair with the other hand, and said to her: "Why are you crying?" "Am not crying", she said. "So what is coming out of your eyes?" I asked. Before she could reply to me first, I spoke again: "And don't say that you have traces of dust in your eyes, this room is treated, so tell me the truth". With that one sentence, I had her cornered.

What I did not expect though was that instead of calming down, her wail of cries increased, wetting my shirt the more but I did not mind. It's better if it's my siblings or lily that does it.

As my thoughts were getting sidetracked, lily spoke: "Am just happy you're okay", she said in a calm voice, Though her face was red.

As we stayed in that position for a while, I thought of why lily would be able to disrupt my emotions and make my 'Spirit' come out and misplace her for whosoever this 'Alice' is. 'Ah', I sighed inside. I really don't like thinking of complicated stuff.

Maybe because our position was comfortable, I was still holding lily by her waist without realizing it till someone in a maid outfit came inside. "Miss, it's time for.....", but stopped talking when she saw us, and with a knowing look, she said: "Am sorry for disturbing, please continue", and she left.

Confused by what she meant by 'Continue', I was about to ask lily when I felt someone in my hands and a pair of soft hands on my chest. Speechless, I looked at lily who was also looking at me and tactically separated, while I changed my top to a new one.

With a fake cough to get me out of embarrassment, I asked lily a question. "Since am okay now, and my body is fine to move, I can go out now, right?" She answered back quickly. Guess she wants to change the topic fast to forget about our embarrassing moment just now. "Since you're fine now, of course, you can go out". After saying what she had to say, she made her way to the door but stopped and turned back to ask a question: "Have you prepared your contact details? And if you have, a social media account".

Upon hearing her question, I was stunned.

The owner of this body did not have any interest in the internet, and there was basically no need to get a phone because it was unless in his eyes. If he wants to know the current news of things happening in the world, he has a Tv at home. If he wants to learn something, he just has to take a walk to the library, and if he wants to contact his classmates or the other way round, their houses are close by. So buying a phone in his opinion was just wasting a part of the money he saved for his siblings.

'Agh', I've only transmigrated and lived in this world for less than a month, not counting the time spent in the ancient world since they're different worlds.

Remembering I still haven't answered lily, I replied honestly, saying no. "In that case, let's buy you a phone from the store". She said. "You can buy a phone from there? Don't we need to buy it and register our info from a shop here?" Surprised, I asked. "Nah, you don't. You can though, but it's not necessary". She said and continued. "I don't know how it's done, but after buying a phone, how information is already stored on it. Don't know if it's the work of the system or the world powers manipulating something brought from the system, I just know that you just need to buy a phone from the store and finish, you're good to go". She said while heading out with me and my siblings.

"What about the applications used on the phone? Were they created by the system?" "No, they're not. The apps used on the phone were created by us. I know it's confusing, but I heard from my father, that anything created in the universe is in the store. Imagine this. If I were to create a new type of potion, the system will send a message asking me if I want to put it in the store. If the reply is no, nothing will happen. If yes, the item created will be readily made by the system in the store, and whenever an individual buys your item, a share of the coin is given to you".

"Wow", I exclaimed in admiration. "Does that mean that the phone and the apps in the store were not necessarily created by the system but by someone else who accepted the system offer?" I asked. "Yes, that's roughly it. I don't really understand but father said these things will be taught in school". She replied. "Now, open your store quickly and buy a phone". She urged after noticing I was about to ask another question. "ok, ok ok,", Helpless, I had to do what she said, but before that, I asked a question" "Last question lily. Why was it that the monster we hunted in the exam didn't bust anything, even a coin". "oh, I thought you already knew", she said and continued. "It's like that because they were artificially created. And don't ask me how, you knowledge hungry demon. Wait till we enter college. And be fast, we're almost there".

'Tsk, Tsk. She just cornered me with that answer. And since we're almost at our location, I opened the store for the first time.
