Chapter 6 Achievement Rewards
If David remembers correctly, Sally, who looks young and beautiful, actually has her own clothing company. Sally told David on WeChat that she learned how to manage and operate a company from her father and other elders in her family since she was young.
Her family background is very powerful, making her a true "wealthy beauty". Although Sally actively added David on WeChat, he knows that there is a huge gap in their social status and he does not have any unrealistic fantasies about her. Furthermore, David has many things to do right now, so he has no intention to pay attention to Sally.
"Hey, look at that fool, he has been running back and forth several times. I wonder what he is thinking. Is he trying to empty the supermarket?" A man pointed to David's back and whispered.
His voice also reached Sally's ears. Sally was surprised to find out that the man's "fool" was actually referring to David. Another man next to him said, "He must have been brainwashed by the fake news online. He is hoarding goods here, saying that an ancient virus has leaked and the end of the world is coming."
"Hahaha, is he crazy? The experts have already debunked this rumor a long time ago." The conversation between the two men also aroused the interest of the people around them, and everyone began to whisper about it.
An old lady said, "I also noticed this young man. He wanted everything on the shelves and kept putting it in the shopping cart, and he was already crazy. "
Another middle-aged man said, "I saw him in the underground garage just now. This young man even hired a small truck to transport all the things he bought. He is really interesting."
The man laughed and shook his head. "They are just full and have nothing to do. They can believe this kind of rumor about the end of the world. It reminds me of those people who hoarded salt more than ten years ago. I wonder if they have finished using up their salt now."
The man next to him jokingly said, "The lower the IQ, the more they hoard." Everyone teased David with a mocking attitude.
Recently, the rumor of the end of the world has spread widely on the Internet, and many people know about it. At first, these rumors did cause panic among some people. However, as the 'Informants' who spread rumors was caught and experts personally came out to debunk it, the attention of this matter gradually decreased.
Those who were affected by the rumors and hoarded supplies to deal with the end of the world were turned into a laughingstock by netizens online. Some even took out their phones and secretly filmed David. If this video was posted online, it would probably get some views.
David did not care about the strange looks from those around him. He knew that these people would at most see him as a joke and not really care about him. In a day or two, these people will forget about him.
Sally looked at David, who was sweeping various supplies in the supermarket, with a complicated expression. She really wanted to advise David, but she felt that their relationship was not very close, and it seemed inappropriate to speak up.
"Ah, he's a good person. Why would he believe these rumors?" Sally felt a little sorry in her heart. Although she is similar in age to David, she has been in the business world for many years and believes her mentality is more mature than the average person.
Sally shook her head and thought to herself, "Forget it. If he encounters any difficulties later, I'll find a way to help him. It can be considered repaying the favor he did me before."
Judging from the things David bought, he must have spent a lot of money. Sally knew that David was just an ordinary office worker who had only been working for a few years, and he probably didn't have much savings. With this kind of extravagance, he might have spent all his savings accumulated over the years at the supermarket.
David was unaware of Sally's thoughts. After several trips back and forth, he finally filled the rented small truck with all the goods. He sat in the passenger seat of the truck and had the driver take him straight home.
After arriving at the residential complex, David gave the driver a tip and asked him to help move the items into his house. The various miscellaneous items he bought from the supermarket almost filled his entire living room.
After several hours of busyness, the two finally moved all the goods into David's house. After the driver left, David closed the door and put all these items into his storage space.
The system immediately sent several prompts to his mind:
historical
"[Congratulations! You have obtained 100 bottles of Port wine, and the 100,000-fold critical hit is in effect!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 10 million bottles of Port wine!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 100 boxes of toothpaste, and the 100,000-fold critical hit is in effect!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 10 million boxes of toothpaste!]..."
David bought anything and everything he saw in the supermarket. Seeing the continuous prompts from the system, David suddenly suspected that he might have bought too much. 10 million boxes of toothpaste...it would take a long time to use all of them.
Suddenly, the system sent another prompt:
"[Congratulations! You have achieved the achievement: Storing more than 10,000 cubic meters of goods!] [Awarding achievement rewards...]
[Congratulations! You have obtained: one genetic enhancement potion and one alloy combat knife.]"
David was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to get rewards for storing goods. He opened his storage space and found the two rewards that the system had given him. The genetic enhancement potion enhances your genes, giving you combat power far beyond that of an ordinary person and greatly increasing your chances of awakening abilities.
This genetic enhancement potion was a transparent liquid in a simple package, a transparent glass test tube sealed with a wooden stopper. "Genetic enhancement?" David knew that after the end of the world, many lucky people would awaken their own abilities.
Unfortunately, David wasn't one of them. He had never awakened any abilities until his rebirth, which had always been his regret. David could survive alone for many years in the end of the world, of course, he was not an ordinary person. But if he faced an ability user, he would have no chance of winning. And this genetic enhancement potion could actually increase his chances of awakening abilities? This made David somewhat excited.
David looked at the other reward: the alloy combat knife.
"[Alloy Combat Knife: a combat knife made of special alloy material, with self-repair function. The blade will not wear out until the blade is completely damaged, and it will always maintain its sharpest state.]
David retrieved the alloy war sword from the storage space. It was a completely black sword that looked nothing like ordinary steel. The handle was made of a material similar to animal skin, very comfortable to hold, and the blade was about one meter long. When he held the sword in his hand, he found that this seemingly heavy sword was actually very light.
David felt as if he were holding a bamboo sword in his hand, almost weightless. Despite its length, the sword's center of gravity was just right when held in the hand. David swung it a few times and found it very easy to use.
