Chapter 45 Reasonable Purchase



Chapter 45 Reasonable Purchase

Namdaemun Market

When I reached Namdaemun Market, I was met with a lively and colorful sight. The market was bustling with vendors selling a variety of items under vibrant awnings. There were stalls filled with clothes, accessories, electronics, and delicious street food. People were actively negotiating prices, and the air was filled with the enticing smell of cooking snacks. The market was alive with energy and activity.

Today, I had two objectives in mind. First, I needed to meet someone, and second, I intended to approach a fraudster and obtain some fake IDs.

It suddenly dawned on me that with my Suggestion Skill, I could easily impersonate a police officer, uniformed staff, or even a licensed teacher when needed. Typically, only skilled scammers would attempt such feats, but with the power of my suggestion, these fake IDs would work like a charm by planting seeds of doubt in the minds of my targets.

So, why go through all this trouble? Well, my plan is to infiltrate Alice's school by posing as a teacher. I don't intend to actually teach seriously; the main goal is to have access to the school grounds and perhaps make connections with other staff members.

If I'm going to venture into the world of high school, might as well make the most of it, right? Attractive teachers in their professional attire, lively students in their school outfits, and of course, the vibrant energy that only a school setting can offer. Every iconic high school scene you can think of - I'm there for it all. Hahaha!

Who knows, I might stumble upon a girl who's got a teacher complex so intense that she'll confess her undying love to me during one of my "lectures." I'll just have to be careful not to get too carried away with my pretend role or I might end up with a whole classroom full of admirers!

"Hey there, young man," an old man's voice called out to me.

"Me?" I pointed at myself.

My increased charisma had helped me socialize better, so I wasn't as awkward in communication anymore. But deep inside, I was still a perverted NEET. I had just learned how to control it better.

"Oh, amazing, amazing. Do you know you have a special aura about you?" the old man said.

Impossible. Could this old man really see through my System? I walked closer to the old man, curious about what he planned to say.

But as I got closer, he started touching me as if I were a piece of meat at a market or something. It was like he was checking to see if I were tender enough to cook. This guy better count himself lucky that I'm respectful to my elders.

"Oh, you're still young, but you have the bone structure and the chi flow of a Kung-Fu genius," he declared.

Wait, why did his words sound so familiar? I felt like I had heard them somewhere before. Alright, let's listen some more, maybe I can remember.

"If the Chi flow can be channeled, then you will be invincible. Remember the old saying, 'you can't escape your destiny.' The duty of upholding world peace and punishing evil will be yours," he added.

Wait, now I'm 99% sure of where I've heard these words before. And why would I punish myself .

"Here, the Buddhist palm..."

"Hey, stop! You just stole that line from Kung Fu H*stle!" I berated the old man mentally. I couldn't believe he was trying to sell me a fake book about Kung Fu in modern times. Did he think I was an idiot?

But the moment the old man showed me the tattered book, my inner movie enthusiast couldn't help but be drawn to it. What if this thing was actually true? It felt like discovering a rare collectible in the street

"Alright, give me the book. How much is it?" I sighed in defeat.

"It's priceless, but because this is fate, I can give it to you for only 20,000 won," the old man replied with a big wide grin his face.

What the hell, old man? You're robbing me in broad daylight! If this is your price for a fated individual like me, then I don't dare to imagine the original price.

"Here," I handed him the money. I already had enough money anyway, so I figured I'd just consider it helping out an old man.

"Bye now," I turned away from him with the book in my hand. I'd be annoyed if I later found a price tag like 1000 won on it.

"You've grown, I wish our Mistress can see this" I heard a faint voice behind me, which made me turn my head.

"Did you say something ?"I asked.

However, there was no one there anymore. Even the old man had disappeared into thin air.

"He must have run away, thinking he'd fooled me," I muttered and couldn't help but chuckle. I wasn't fooled by you. It was my choice to give you my money!

"I absolutely did not get scammed!" I insisted, trying to convince myself that I had made a reasonable purchase.

Inside a restaurant .

The place had a unique market-like ambiance, with live seafood tanks on display, showcasing a variety of fresh catches available for sale. The lively atmosphere was filled with the sounds of clinking dishes and the chatter of diners, creating a bustling and vibrant environment.

The tables were adorned with simple yet tasteful decor, and the walls were filled with colorful murals depicting scenes from the ocean. It was a place where seafood lovers could relish the freshest catches prepared to their liking.

"Have you been waiting for me?" I raised my hand and greeted a cute girl sitting at the table. She looked embarrassed after seeing me, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.

"Let's eat first, did you order what I asked for already?" I inquired while I sat on my chair.

"Yes," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of fear. She absentmindedly twirled a strand of her pink hair, perhaps trying to calm her nerves.

That's right, I haven't programmed her that well yet. This cute girl was none other than my first Victim , Sang Hoe . I contacted her after finding out that she knew someone who could forge documents.
