Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System! - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: From poverty to wealth
The Resource Department was located in the underground complex of the Association building.

Accompanied by an employee, they took the elevator down to the lower floors.

When the group exited the elevator, they saw two directions at once: a shopping center on the left, and a place for sale on the right.

Since the purpose of their visit was to sell things, they chose the right path.

The department’s territory was spacious, but due to the lack of other customers, it was empty. Only one employee was sitting at the front desk, seemingly lost in thought.

However, when he saw the visitors, he woke up abruptly and got up from his seat.

“Customers?” — he asked the employee, and she nodded in the affirmative.

The receptionist quickly dialed the number, and soon several people approached them.

“These are appraisers,” the employee introduced them, leading the trio to pre—prepared tables on which resources and materials for evaluation could be placed.

The couple was already prepared for such a development, and Arabel, without hesitation, took out of her small purse the bag they had purchased in another world, which had expansion magic.

Opening the bag, Arabel, pretending to take out resources from it, pulled out several resources and the remains of beasts belonging to the “bronze” and “silver” ranks at once. For the couple themselves, these materials were not so valuable, judging by their cost of selling to the System.

However, the staff of the association watched in amazement as the young girl took out high-quality resources from unknown beasts one by one.

They immediately sensed a strange energy coming from these remains.

It was the energy of madness.

Almost all the resources and materials owned by the couple were filled to the brim with this energy, as all the beasts were killed in the Doppelganger Forest.

The staff, who had never dealt with such energy and such beasts before, could not properly evaluate the materials. They were forced to seek help from more experienced colleagues and even from those who were above them in rank.

Because of this, the sale process was delayed for some time.

Since the beasts were new and radiated a new kind of energy in large numbers, their cost was almost twice as high as usual.

In the end, the couple managed to make good money. Idan and Arabel didn’t need any contribution points yet, so they converted everything into credits.

They suddenly turned from poor people into rich people. Now they could afford anything they wanted. The earned loans will be enough for them in the near future to live the way they want, unless, of course, they make expensive purchases such as transportation or a house.

The couple didn’t even have to use Esma’s savings and leave them for another day.

After completing all their business and going up to the first floor to leave the Awakened Association, the trio, accompanied by an employee, suddenly encountered a crowd of strangers, among whom there were several awakened ones.

People noticed them and blocked their way. Idan, Arabel, and Esma were confused.

“Would you like to join the Thunder Guild?” the young man asked, handing them his business card. The others followed his example.

It turned out that all these people and the awakened ones were representatives of various Guilds who, after learning about the new natural awakened ones, came here to try to recruit them into their ranks.

One by one, the representatives offered them their business cards, and the trio began accepting them without hesitation. They all promised to think about it later and report their decision.

Only ten minutes later they were able to squeeze through the crowd and leave the building. However, this time they were followed by several more persistent representatives.

At that moment, they had to use their “awakened” abilities to escape from their pursuers.

Having broken away from the chase and again hiding in one of the alleys, they breathed a sigh of relief.

All of them, even Esma, began to miss Sierra and her skill at disguise and distraction.

After catching their breath and making sure that no one else was following them, they noticed that the sky was already starting to darken. They realized that evening was coming soon, and they needed not only to shop, but also to find a place to stay.

Without delay, the trio got down to business.

“I’m not signing up for this anymore!” exclaimed Idan by the end of the day, lying on the bed in one of the hotel rooms they had rented.

In the next room, Arabel and Esma were happily trying on the clothes and shoes they had just bought. Especially Esma, who was first exposed to the fashion of this world, was very surprised and absorbed in this process.

Although the quality of the materials left much to be desired, the variety of options offered amazed even her.

Idan, catching his breath a little and once again cursing women’s enthusiasm for shopping, finally pulled out the new smartphone they had bought and a new phone number from the storage.

He couldn’t understand how the girls weren’t tired of it all yet. While shopping, they constantly asked his opinion, and even if he said something was wrong, they did not refuse to buy. Idan began to wonder: if the girls don’t listen to his opinion, then why are they asking him at all?

If it hadn’t been for the storage, Idan might have drowned in the pile of things the girls had bought. There were a lot of loans, and they took everything that caught their eye, without thinking about the need. They decided to think about what they really needed later.

Idan managed to buy several changes of clothes, shoes and, of course, a smartphone for himself.

Each of them chose according to his taste. Idan didn’t really follow fashion and novelties, so he bought a smartphone on the advice of a consultant from the store. But the girls decided to buy something that, in their opinion, looked beautiful. Idan just shrugged his shoulders.

Esma chose a smartphone to match the color of her sea—green hair. And when she got hers, she smiled like a fool when she found out that these smartphones have a function to take photos like Coco’s.

Quickly unpacking and turning on his smartphone, Idan began to remember which applications he usually used and started downloading them.

The network seemed to be in order, the Web speed was also good, and soon he completed all his business and for the first time in several months began browsing news sites in search of relevant news.

And the first thing that really caught his eye was an article about the fact that the Heroine of Irene Fein and the Hero of Arslan Morgan are having an affair.

“Huh?” — Idan read the headline of the article incredulously.
