"Collect!"
Akira casually swiped his palm over the counter, and in an instant, the six million yen on the cash register vanished.
At the same time…
His system account balance increased by exactly six million yen out of thin air.
Ding—
[Due to the host's effective management, the convenience store has leveled up from LV3 to
LV4.]
[...]
The pleasant mechanical voice echoed in his mind once again.
The store had undergone its third upgrade!
[Open Product List]
Akira eagerly scrolled to the bottom of the list.
Colt Submachine Gun (100 yen each)
M3 Submachine Gun (100 yen each)
AK-47 Assault Rifle (100 yen each)
7.62mm Bullets (1 yen per round)
11.43mm Bullets (1 yen per round)
Luxury Tokyo Mansion (Price: 5 million yen)
Ferrari F8 (Price: 1 million yen)
[...]
Holy crap!
Seriously, what the hell?!
The newly unlocked items from the system upgrade made Akira's eyes light up.
Just a moment ago, Ichiro Yamamoto had asked if he had any long guns in stock. And now, the system had conveniently updated the product list with a fresh batch of firepower.
Perfect timing!
Life really does work in mysterious ways.
But of course…
The real treasures in the list, as far as Akira was concerned, were the mansion and the luxury car at the bottom.
A high-end Tokyo mansion would usually cost at least a billion yen, but here it was going for just
five million.
And the Ferrari F8? No need to even mention it…
In Japan, the market price for a brand-new one was easily over 65 million yen.
[Buy!]
Without hesitation, he splurged on the mansion and the Ferrari.
In an instant…
The six million yen he had just received disappeared from his system account.
Ding—
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired a luxury mansion.]
[Mansion Address: 3-1, Beika Town, Tokyo.]
Ding—
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired a Ferrari F8.]
[...]
The crisp, pleasant notification rang in his head once more.
At the same time, his system space now contained a set of mansion keys and a Ferrari key with the
brand's iconic logo.
He glanced back at the product list…
The mansion and Ferrari slots were now grayed out, with a bold "Sold Out" stamp over them.
Akira took out the Ferrari key and pressed the button lightly…
"Beep beep—"
The system was no joke!
In less than a minute after purchasing it, the Ferrari F8 was already parked right outside his convenience store.
The Next Morning…
"Wow~~~"
"That Ferrari is gorgeous!"
CLOVER Convenience Store was already located in a prime spot in Beika Town, and now, with a red
Ferrari F8 parked outside, it had become an eye-catching sight. Some passersby even stopped to take pictures.
"That car must be crazy expensive, right?" Ran Mouri asked instinctively.
"Of course," Sonoko Suzuki replied. "Right now, a brand-new one costs at least seventy million yen."
Seventy million yen wasn't much for Sonoko, the heiress of the Suzuki conglomerate, but for Ran, it
was absolutely shocking.
Seventy million yen…
That was enough to buy multiple Mouri Detective Agencies.
"That car probably belongs to Akira, right?"
"No way!" Ran shook her head.
Akira was just a convenience store manager—how could he possibly afford a Ferrari?
Besides…
If he really owned one, wouldn't he have told her by now?
"Why don't we just go in and ask?"
With that, Sonoko grabbed Ran's arm and dragged her into CLOVER Convenience Store.
"Ding-dong—"
"Welcome!"
Since it was the holidays, Azusa Enomoto wasn't working today.
However…
The two night-shift clerks, Kanna Fuyutsuki and Yui Nakaizumi, had arrived early to start their shifts.
"Ran?" Sonoko glanced at her best friend before shifting her gaze toward Fuyutsuki at the register.
Oh, this was getting interesting…
Two women, in the same store, with the same guy—this was bound to turn into a battlefield.
"Akira was known to have tried hard to build a sexual relationship with any girl by employing a
calculated charm, a practiced routine of compliments and suggestive remarks. He'd focus on physical touch, escalating intimacy quickly, often disregarding her comfort or boundaries."
"Akira, is that Ferrari outside yours?" Sonoko broke the silence, cutting through the tension in the air.
Of course, she was asking out of curiosity as well.
"Yeah… just bought it."
As soon as those words left his mouth…
Sonoko nudged Ran with her elbow and smirked, raising her eyebrows in triumph.
See? She told her it was Akira Yang's car!
