[You have 1020 SP.] The System answered.
"Over a thousand, huh. Not bad. Not bad at all." Allen said to himself.
"Well, I wish to upgrade the Super Market System to the next level, Level 3." He said.
[As you command.] The System said.
[Ding!
Congratulations!
The Super Market System has leveled up!]
[Reward: Title 'Seller' has been unlocked! You can now sell items to The Super Market System!]
Allen was about to burst in happiness after hearing that when another notification popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations!
For upgrading The Super Market System twice within a day, you've been given a hidden reward!]
Allen's heart started to pound faster as he read about the hidden reward. He decided to open the hidden reward notification to see what it was with his own eyes.
[Hidden Reward: 'Merchant' Title has been unlocked!]
[Title: Merchant
Effect: Sell items for twice their value to The Super Market System.]
As Allen finished reading the effects of the title, a blank look covered his face that slowly turned into a smile before he burst into maniacal laughter.
"Kuhuhuhu… Kuhahahahahaha~!" He laughed like a madman with one hand covering half his face and the other holding his stomach.
He laughed his heart out for a minute before regaining his bearings and asked the System.
"System, does this mean that if I sell an item worth 10 SP, I will be given 20 SP instead?"
[That is correct, Host Allen Cross.]
A smirk covered Allen's face as he realized he was right.
"Enough laughing for now. Show me the new available items." He ordered.
[31. Chicken- 75 SP/Kg
Beef- 150 SP/Kg Mutton- 200 SP/Kg Sheep- 120 SP/Kg Pigeon- 70 SP/Kg Duck- 100 SP/Kg Venison- 220 SP/Kg Camel- 250 SP/Kg Military Grade Combat Knife- 280 SP/unit Smoke Grenade- 300 SP/unit
SP: 820]
"Hmm, this is good. I can now buy various kinds of meat. That reminds me, I'm a bit hungry and I'm sure the girls are too. Well, let's buy some. I am going to go with… chicken. 2 kilos of it." He said, spending 150 SP on chicken.
Wheesh
A black-blue light appeared over his hands before taking the shape of chicken wrapped in plastic.
Allen went to the kitchen and unwrapped the chicken.
"Hoh, it really is chicken. Nice." He nodded.
He then turned on the electric stove at low heat and put a vessel on top.
He was pleasantly surprised to find items like oil, salt, rice, sugar, and various spices among others already available in the kitchen.
'That saves a lot of SP. Although I need to spend an additional 10 SP for onions.' He thought.
Not long after, he had finished preparing dinner.
It was simple steamed rice and chicken curry. But he was quite confident that it was going to taste good.
After all, one of the rewards he received from the System was Cooking Mastery which basically gave him the culinary skills of a master chef.
He set the table and waited for the girls to come.
After the girls came out of the shower, they went directly to Allen's room. Unable to find him there, they went downstairs, only to find him inside the dining hall.
Florence was about to say something when a fragrant aroma hit her nose and automatically activated her taste buds. She then noticed the food on the table and looked at Allen who had a pleasant look on his face before she opened her mouth.
"You made this?" She asked.
"I did. For all of us. Take a seat and let's eat." He replied.
"Where did you get chicken? Was it in the freezer?" Lily asked as she pulled a chair.
"Nope. I bought it from that Mart I told you guys about."
"Ohh…" The girls had an expression of understanding.
"Must be pretty convenient." Clara said as she sat down.
"Well, if you're willing to risk your life in exchange for supplies, I guess you could say that." Allen said with a teasing smile.
"..." The girls didn't know what to say as they remained quiet.
They had thought it wasn't that difficult but it seems they were wrong.
Instantly, the gratefulness they felt towards Allen increased as they realized he had actually risked his life for this food they were about to eat.
They looked at him with even more devotion.
"Don't look at me like that, girls. You all have done so much for me when I was at the end of my rope. It is only fair that I reciprocate now that I finally have the opportunity to do so. Either way, taste the food and let me know if it is to your liking or not." Allen said, not wanting them to feel pressured because of this.
Beautiful smiles blossomed on the girls' faces as they found Allen's actions of trying to make them relax cute and romantic as it showed them he cared about their feelings. Not only that, he actually risked his life to come to their rescue when they thought they would be killed. All of this contributed to their fondness and love for Allen increasing significantly. Only, Allen didn't know that… yet. He'd find that out in bed.
The girls didn't stand on ceremony either as they tasted the food.
"Umh! It's delicious!" Florence praised as she relished the taste of the food in her mouth.
"This is really good…!" Clara complimented.
"Nom Nom Nom." Lily didn't say anything and just kept eating as much as she could without stopping, which told Allen how much she enjoyed the food.
Seeing all three of them enjoy the food he made put a smile on his face as he also started to eat.
Soon after, they were done eating. The girls cleaned up the rest as Allen went to his room and lied down on the bed and scrolled through his phone.
The situation was worse than he thought. Multiple neighboring countries had fallen to the zombies and his was on the brink of it.
However, he wasn't sad. Rather, there was excitement in his heart as he waited for tomorrow, when he would actively start going after zombies.
Creak
"Hmm?"
Allen's train of thoughts were disrupted as he heard the door to his room opening. He raised his head and saw that it was his three wives. He gazed at them and saw that they all wore skimpy lingerie that matched their hair color as they looked at him with an expectant gaze.
"Keh~"
An evil-sounding laugh escaped his lips as he stood up from the bed and walked towards them.
Tonight, he was going to be busy and he didn't mind it one bit.
