Another World Mall

Chapter 158 Assistant

The next morning, the first thing they did was go to the bank to get their money before heading to Essence Bank to sell some of the essence. They had shown the list to Jay and Melody, so they knew which ones they could sell.

In total, the group got a little over seven hundred thousand, which made Clovis smile brightly. It was a good amount since he could definitely splurge it in Another World Mall.

After getting all the money, Clovis and Kanaria headed to the hospital to visit Jay and finish the payment for the treatment.

But before that, they visited Jay's room first. Of course, this was Clovis's request.

And after talking for a bit, Clovis finally excused himself. "Sorry, guys. I'm going to the toilet for a bit."

Yes, he ran away with all the money. After locking the door and ensuring that no one was here, Clovis hurriedly entered Another World Mall.

Clovis opened the system.

[Name: Clovis Hacfield.]

[Membership: Level 9 (Better Novice)]

[Money: 793,040 Otherworldly Coins.]

[Item Limit: 8/Visit]

[Visit: 1(2)/Day]

"Yep. I still have five hundred thousand even after paying for the membership. This should be enough for a while since we have to wait for a week until Jay recovers before going on another exploration."

Without hesitation, Clovis opened the membership tab and pressed upgrade.

Membership: Level 10 (Small Elite)

Upgrade Membership: 500,000 Otherworld Coins/Month.

Benefit: An additional branch for a few stores.

The Another World Mall upgraded his status right away.

"Hoh?" Clovis smirked, knowing that this was what he had been waiting for. He noticed that a bluish light started to appear in front of him.

These particles gathered and formed a cylinder before him. At the top of the cylinder was a dome-shaped head.

The bluish light gradually turned into real materials. The body seemed to be made of stainless steel covered in white paint to make it look friendlier to the eye. There was a screen on the dome-shaped head.

There was a pixel face that was made of blue light.

"Mhmm?" Clovis couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, wondering if this was his assistant.

After it fully materialized, he saw the words on the screen, saying, "Please touch the screen."

A bit hesitant, Clovis placed his hand on the dome-shaped head. It seemed to be scanning his palm, especially his fingerprints.

Then, a monotone robotic voice soon echoed from it.

[Confirmation Complete.]

[The data of the new host has been registered.]

[Welcome to Another World Mall, Master.]

"Woah?" Clovis was a bit overwhelmed with this new assistant. "Are you the mall assistant?"

[Yes.]

"What should I call you?"

[You can call me whatever, Master. Or would you like to bestow me a name?]

"A name, huh? Should I go with the typical name like 'little white' or a pet name? Or a normal human name? Nah, I will just call you blue like your face." Clovis sighed.

[Registering the name Blue. Understood. Please call me Blue from now on, Master.]

Clovis nodded. Although he was curious about the next store, he wanted to know what this assistant could offer first.

"So, what can you do, Blue?"

[I can assist you in buying items, Master. I can both bring your luggage and even register it in the cashier.]

"Oh? Can you help me with that task?"

[Yes. The data since you arrived here has been transferred into my database. I believe that helping you in that area will improve a lot of convenience for you.]

"That's quite good. Anything else?"

[If you order me, I can make a purchase for you without the need to go here. For example, you just have to authorize me to use your funds to buy a few things. Of course, the visit and item limit will be used up accordingly.]

"This is rather tempting." Clovis had been buying everything personally, so if he could order him around like that, he might not need to visit the Another World Mall daily. What if the item limit or visit time increased even further? Wouldn't he have to visit the mall again and again? It would definitely become tedious in the future.

If he could authorize the assistant to do all that, he would have time for other things. "Is there more?"

[Yes. I can answer a few questions at your membership level. For example, I can describe the items for you like who made them or what they used. In addition, I could also give you suggestions on what to buy if you allowed me to.]

Normally, people tend to focus on the suggestion since it would look like an ad. However, Clovis thought differently. "Suggestions? Could you actually see my Evolution Progress and suggest which items to buy? Maybe, like… computing which items will be good to consume next?"

[I can't see your Evolution Progress. But I can store all the information you've told me. As long as you provide me with enough information about how you'd like to progress, which traits you want to focus on, and to what level do you want to get first before maxing them, I can give you the suggestion to optimize your purchase.]

"Interesting." Clovis smirked. "Does that include my teammates? What if I ask you to include my teammates?"

[It won't be a problem.]

Clovis thought this was a good feature. Still, it would be a bit hard to ask for their information since it might raise suspicion if they got too fixated on their evolution traits, considering he had been feeding them items from this mall.

"How about this?" Clovis pointed at the membership's reward. "It's said that the next reward will be an additional brand for a few stores. What does it mean?"

Clovis had understood the gist of it, but it was better to ask it for confirmation.

[It means that you will have a few new stores of the same type as what you currently have.]

Clovis smiled wryly, expecting this answer. He believed that the accessory shop and the boutique would get an additional store brand that sold something slightly different from them.

He got a good understanding of what the assistant could do. So, he gave his last question before going to the new store.

"Then… What do you think about this Another World Mall? Why do they have products that don't belong in my world?"
