His first batch of upgrade points was only enough to boost his right-hand grip strength. He crushed a drink can and hurled it into a shelf, knocking it over as he charged out, scooping up a chubby guy clutching instant noodles and a demobilized female soldier in camouflage along the way. The System’s prompt was as cold as the inside of a refrigerator: Energy points insufficient. With half a spicy strip dangling from his mouth, he replied, “Then why not let me buy on credit?” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
