BRAGR) Stocking Up Part 2
🕑 Added 2024-06-07 04:04:12 +0000 UTC“Understood, Master.” Hilde gave a perfect maid bow, but the sharp glint in her eyes also did not go unnoticed. I could only shake my head as Angel clung to my arm, and we walked out the door.
Our first destination was to the supermarket. We had to gather as much food as possible. Things that could last a long time would go in the cart, while perishables would go into Angel and my’s inventory. We would have to borrow the cart, but there was nothing we could do about that.
We had just stepped outside when Hilde said something that made me glad I summoned her. “Master, You may not know this but Silvie and I both had our own inventories as well. So, if you put the items in your inventory, we can take them. We have quite a large inventory space as well. We can fit at least 1000 stacked items. Each stack can go up to 999.”
“Hilde, please mention these things earlier!” I complained, only to see Hilde show a proud smirk. This maid! She was trying to get even with me for something!
“I am not.” Hilde’s voice entered my mind. I once more had my thoughts peeked at!
I could only sigh it seemed Hilde looked to listen into my thoughts. I guess I am already used to it since they never listen to me. As I thought this I could swear I heard a muffled snicker enter my mind. “Since that is the case we will be emptying the store of everything we need!”
“Yeah!” Angel pumped her fist in the air at my declaration. I was quite happy to know we could store so much. This would make things much easier. We had four inventories, two of which could hold one thousand items each.
We made our way down the street, heading towards the supermarket. We got about three blocks away when we saw a line of police cars and military trucks. Sounds of fighting could also be heard. “Geh.” I couldn’t help but frown. “I was hoping it was some kind of outdoor performance, but…”
“We have to go this way unless you want to walk all the way back around.” Angel was right. If we turned around we would have to walk all the way around since the alleys were blocked off in this area.
With a long sigh, I said: “let’s just sneak through. As long as they do not see us, we should be fin… fuck…”
“Excuse me!” I had a reason for swearing. A reporter had turned and saw us, which resulted in her quickly running towards us with her mic and cameraman. “You are on the news before. You were the ones who killed the first monster to appear here in New York. Can I ask why you are not helping kill this monster?”
“Why should I?” I asked, tilting my head to the side and crossing my arms in front of my chest. “The last time I helped, the military tried to capture my girlfriend and me. Why should I care about monsters when the people in charge don’t care about me and only see me as a tool?”
“This…” The reporter seemed to be surprised by my answer, but it was true. That Davis guy tried not only once but twice to capture us. I was not about to deal with such a thing again.
“If you would please excus… Why!?” I cried out as I saw more and more reporters swarming us.
“Shall I kill them?” Hilde, who had a sword tucked in her cloth belt, drew it out and readied herself for combat, causing everyone to take a step back.
“No. They are just doing what they do best. Annoy people and then lie about them. This is what media is all about.” I replied, stretching my hand out to block Hilde’s way. I did not plan to harm anyone who had not done anything to me, but that did not mean I would go out of my way to protect them, either. “I suggest, instead of sitting here reporting on monsters and bothering players, that you worry more about yourselves. Shouldn’t you be at home trying to level up? None of you seem to be players yet.”
“Like we got time to be fooling around in a game.” Someone scoffed.
I sighed and shook my head. “If you got time to sleep then you got time to play. If you are not sleeping, then I must say you will have a short life. Anyway, not our problem. If you want someone to play hero, go find Spiderman or Superman.”
With that, I ignored the other questions and began walking away with Hilde making a path for us. While the reporters did make way, the men in green uniforms did not. A familiar idiot had once more blocked my path. “Davis, are we going to go through all this shit again!?”
“You are needed to help solve the situation. By orders passed down by the president himself, I hereby enlist you into the military. All players are now military personnel and will follow orders.” Davis had a shit-eating grin on his face, one that I really wanted to punch. Actually, I should just punch it. So I did.
I tapped my foot off the ground, and to the people who were not players, I probably disappeared or moved at a very fast speed, but all I did was add a small boost of wind at my back to launch me forward.
[Skill: Wind Blast…]
[Wind Blast: Blast a powerful gust of wind to either launch yourself in a specific direction or to push back an enemy. If Wind Blast Hits an enemy, it has a 50% chance to deal 1-50 damage. Based on the target’s level and elemental resistance.]
I am sure the last thing Davis ever expected was for me to attack him, but a good punch to the face was probably what he needed. They say the best education is taught through pain. That is how they do it in the military. Since this was the case maybe he will remember my words after I hit him a few times. Did I only say I would hit once? If I hit once, I might as well hit a few times, right?
“Master, let me hit him too… with my sword.”

I love the maids

Then after the real world goes to crap they can then start selling off the excess supplies for things they actually need.

Thank you for the chapter! Just a thought after hearing about the inventories but, couldn't they endlessly dump the non perishables into Zoe's only for Silvie to take them out in the game world? Thus, they can fill their inventories to the brim with perishables while the game world becomes an endless warehouse for non perishables and construction supplies.
