William waited as the ever-spinning search kept on spinning until fear started to creep into his heart. But it was for naught, as the search bar finally stopped and displayed the items he had been waiting for.
[ Searching ]
[ The Awakening Material that you are searching for is available in the shop ]
[ Light Rock - Awakening Material - Light - Special - Cost (5 Bronze) ]
William looked at the awakening material with happiness as it was the thing he wanted very much. But as he examined it more carefully, he started to think.
'500 dollars for a single rock, are you kidding me?'
'Who the hell will pay so much for a f*cking rock? And if I'm right, then the system only shows the true price, which means in the real world the price is even higher than what is shown right now.'
'That means if something costs 100 dollars in the system shop, then in the real world it might cost 300 or 400 dollars or maybe even more, depending on its ranking.'
'So if the Light Rock costs 500 dollars here, then in the real world it may be somewhere around 900 dollars.'
'Oh! Yes, it also has its specialty that makes it even more valuable and costly, so it may even go far beyond 1500 or even 3000 dollars.'
'That is simply daylight robbery, people.' William started to get angry
'Not like it matters much, but still, so much money for such a simple rock. I can only imagine how much it's going to cost in the future. I might even have to pour in millions just for the real price.'
'Okay, I'll come back to this discussion later on, but for now, let's see if the other items are in here as well or not.' William stopped his thought process as he was eager to learn what would happen next.
William first bought the Light Rock, which suddenly popped up in his hands. It was quite small in size, maybe close to 2 to 3 inches, and it was indeed pure white. The white color was so pure that it gave off a strange feel whenever someone looked at it.
William, done with examining the material, placed it beside him and opened up the system shop again as he typed in the next materials he needed.
After waiting for a little while, all of the materials he needed showed up.
William didn't believe what he said at all, as evidenced by the slight facial interaction from before, but he didn't comment on it and just replied with a small smile of his own.
"But how long will it take for you guys to finish up?"
Gasteria, looking at William's smiley face, couldn't tell whether the teenager was mocking him or actually smiling with him, as his face didn't give away expressions easily.
But he answered with the professionalism he had acquired over many years as a 'Cleaning Service' guy.
"That depends."
"On what?"
"On whether you also want to clean other parts of the house or are you just interested in cleaning this room?"
"Of course I want to clean my other rooms, and not just that, but I want you guys to clean the whole villa completely."
"Then I'm sorry to say, sir, but it will take us a long time to finish the service," Gasteria apologized, with no hint of apology in his tone.
"Wouldn't it be better to split your members and let one group clean the house while the other cleans this room?" William was confused by this guy's meaning.
"It would be in another case, but yours is a delicate one, as it requires not only cleaning this... 'room' but also a very big villa with many rooms and high walls that take time to reach."
"So what do you suggest to make this job a little faster?" William asked with a deadpan face, as he kind of knew what the guy was about to say next.
"If you call in a few more members of our service, it would help us and also help you immensely," Gasteria suggested with a real smile.
"Imhmm," William said thoughtfully before finally agreeing, "Alright, call as many people as you want, but make sure they clean this villa as quickly and efficiently as they can."
Gasteria and his team members had bright faces as they heard this and quickly said, "Of course, anything for a VIP customer."
Gasteria brought out his FPhone and called his known members "Guys come over at the place where I am working right now."
"It's a big one."
