Chapter 10: Shopping
Chapter 10: Shopping
Marcus walked on the sidewalk. The sun is high up bright in the sky. This isn't something Marcus was used to, he also didn't like it. On the planet where the Asura Empire was situated, they do have a sun but it wasn't as bright. On that planet, the weather gives you a gloomy vibe if you're a tourist since it's dark and cloudy during the day. It's a lot more beautiful during the night though.
Today Marcus made a to-do list in his mind. He has to buy clothes, explore human buildings that he only saw in books, and hopefully know more about the human race first-hand.
Marcus walked around and saw a variety of things. This is only his second day in the mortal realm so his curiosity still needs to be filled.
He saw people passing by, using different kinds of technologies while some conversed with their friends.
'I should also buy those types of technology where I can call people at a distance, similar to the ones used in the heavenly realm.' Marcus thought. He added it to his to-do list.
He continued to walk around and found a building that sells clothes. He looked at the huge sign outside that has a huge 'LV' sign. He went in and saw different types of clothes, bags, and other things that were crafted by humans.
Marcus went to check shirts and long sleeves first. He went to the aisle and started picking things out. But he was having a hard time looking for the things he wanted. Which colors humans think goes with which.
A sales lady went up to him and asked, " Hi sir, how may I help you?"
Marcus paused for a bit when he looked at her. 'There's that feeling again.'
"Uhmm, which colors work well together? I mean which should I pick? or which would look good on me?" Marcus asked, holding a bunch of long sleeve polos with different colors.
The saleslady became puzzled a bit on how to answer but she composed herself and said, "Sir it would be best if you choose something that would fit your taste. But in my opinion, a good combination would be dark blue long-sleeved polo and faded khaki pants. That would look good on you sir, but what would look even better would be black long-sleeved polo and black smart trousers. It also matches perfectly with your hair." The saleslady ended with a professional smile.
She has straight black hair, straight brows, and almond-shaped eyes that are color green. She also has a petite body with huge tits. One could say that she's sexy and her face looked pretty young. Around 21 years old.
Marcus touched his vermillion hair and thought ' Damn, I need to cut my hair again.'
"Thank you, would please you give me 20 of those long sleeves and 20 pants, please". Marcus smiled.
"20 sir? of those dark blue and black long sleeves, khaki and black smart trousers?" The saleslady's eyes went a bit wide. These kinds of orders weren't something you see every day.
"No, just the black long sleeves and pants, thank you". Marcus said, turning his back to look at other stuff.
He stopped and turned his head to the saleslady who was about to walk and said "On second thought, please include the blue long sleeves and khaki pants, and yes, 20 of those too."
The lady went to get the clothes he requested while Marcus looked at different kinds of bags, belts, and shoes.
After a few minutes, the saleslady came back and told Marcus that she placed the things near the counter. Marcus thanked her and proceeded to pick up a couple of belts, black shoes, and brown shoes.
He went to the counter. still looking around if he missed anything that he wanted to buy.
The saleslady saw this and suggested, "Sir, maybe you want to buy a blazer?"
Marcus thought for a while. He remembered that these things were the ones you place over your clothes. He nodded and asked for the color black.
The sales lady suggested other things and Marcus said no to most of them except for a tux and a perfume. He might need it in the future.
Marcus asked how much everything was but the saleslady said that she didn't know and it would be shown at the counter.
In front of the counter, Marcus waited for the woman to finish. A few seconds later, she told him the price and was expecting to be handed a card or for Marcus to use a phone or watch and just scan. Since you can connect it with your bank account. But was instead handed a pile of cash.
"I have yet to buy those kinds of stuff. Would you happen to know where I could get them?" Marcus turned to the saleslady.
"You can buy mobile devices and smartwatches across the street, and you would need a bank account to use your phone or watch to pay."
In this era where a watch has the same function as a phone people now prefer watches since a UI would spring up when you turn on the watch.
"Thank you so much for your help" Marcus bowed his head slightly. He then grabbed the numerous bags that were filled with his new clothes and stuff.
He didn't place them in his pocket dimension since there were a lot of people.
He proceeded to walk away. Before he went out of the entrance, he glanced at the bulletin-like thing at the side and continued.
"He didn't tip you?" The one on the counter asked.
"No, but it's fine" The saleslady smiled and went back to her work. Her mind though was still on the guy she helped. She wanted to grab him and hug him for no apparent reason.
--------------------------------
2 hours later Marcus went out of the bank. He placed tons of money in his bank account which alerted a lot of people.
'That took a while damn.' Marcus thought. He got a bit impatient at the bank for being so slow. It only took him a few minutes to get a watch. Yes, he settled with a watch. He then asked the guy to teach him how to use it and how to send money.
"Now for that thing". Marcus mumbled.
He operated the watch and went to the LV website. After a while of tapping, he smiled and thought 'Why do I feel attracted to her too? Are these just hormones?'
The warm attitude he experienced from her was different from other people which made him look at her a bit differently.
He continued in his way holding a bunch of things from LV.
-------------------------------------
Trina, the saleslady was shocked. She just received a message that said she got tipped a large amount of money. Enough for her to lord around any 2nd state and could make her a rich woman in a 1st rate state.
She checked the bottom of the message and checked the message attached which said 'Thank you for your help, I hope we could see each other again if fate allows it.'
Her legs went shaky. She already knew who tipped her. She just helped him pick a few clothes and got this in return. Her mind is still processing what happened.
In this era, if you want to tip someone, especially people who are working in big companies, their info is on the door and how to tip them. When you tip them the company will not know directly unless they ask the bank and the bank snoops through the records.
She of course kept quiet about this. After her mind calmed a bit, she began to grow excited. Trina though was very happy right now, hoped to see the vermillion-haired teen again.
--------------------------------------
Marcus who was walking around felt hungry. He stopped by at a nearby restaurant and ate a couple of dishes. The bags are starting to be a problem. So after the meal, he looked for a good place to throw them in his pocket dimension.
'I should probably buy a car. Those magazines I've seen have a lot of good looking ones. Plus I don't even need to learn how to drive, It could drive by itself. Hmmm, maybe next time.' Marcus thought while walking. His hands were finally free.
He keeps using his new watch and searching for a lot of stuff. Marcus kept walking and ended with a group of people. They looked the same age as him. The group of teenagers wore the same jacket and the same mark on the left side.
Marcus could guess that these were students.
"Our next stop is a museum, for those who need to go to the bathroom they have on there." A middle-aged man with glasses said.
Marcus heard that and looked at the building that was close to him. He smiled. He wanted to know more about the human race, so museums are actually one of the best ideas.
The group was huddled together and Marcus just situated himself at the back.
The outside part of the museum was white and there were a few large pillars. The tiles outside were grey and the entrance was wide.
Marcus followed them inside while maintaining a short distance.
The inside part had an antique vibe. The floor was brown, some parts of the walls were covered with oak wood. And the space inside was huge. A few paintings, inventions, sculptures could be seen once you go in. But there were holographic signs that point out specific places where the more important designs were situated.
Marcus looked around. This was the history of humans. He heard that people from the heavenly realm went down and interacted with the humans a long time ago.
He wanted to see the records and the marks they left behind.
