Ignoring the harsh remarks of the system, I asked it of a way to save the thief and also not to die from his hands even when he found out that I was the one who stole his loots.

After contemplating about it for a while, the system replied -

[Well, I can give you a potion that increase favourability for a day]

"What can an increased favourability gonna do if it only lasts for a day".

[It depends on how you handle it, if you left a deep impression(in a good way ) on the said person. So, then even after the effect of the potion wears off, the said person will have a favourable view towards you]

"But how can I impress him".

[By showing off your wealth or you can go on a date wi-]

Before the system can finish his sentence, I interrupted it by saying -

"In your dreams".

[If you don't even wanna do this then you can just wait for the poison to take effect. If the thief die by being poisoned you can just count it as luck taking its effect or you can wait for the poison to weaken the thief so, you can kill it afterwards. Honestly it is the best option that I could have thought of, in this situation]

"No thanks, I will take the first option".

[So, you are going on a date]

"Of course not, I am gonna impress him with my wealth. Well I am preety rich myself, so, I am sure that I can impress him with it".

"Are you giving me the potion for free".

[Ofcourse... not, I would be an idiot to give something like this for free]

Feeling dejected, I asked the system about its price.

"So, for how much will you give me the potion".

[5,000 coins]

And as if the system could read my thoughts. It immediately said -

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

[Nothing less than this will be acceptable]

Shit, I forgot that it can.

"This price is just too much, can't you lower it, maybe a 1000 or so".

[This price is fair]

"Still can't we negotiate".

[The price is not negotiable]

"Still- ".

[No means no]

[Do you even know that with this potion you could even told them to do something, they normally wouldn't even think about doing]

"Ok, I got it".

Seeing that the system wasn't budging even after all my attempts to negotiate with it, I gave up on trying. And asked it a question that has been bugging me for a while-

"How do I earn the system coins and can I exchange real money with the system coins? If yes, then what is the exchange rates?

[For the first question, you can earn coins by killing others or from the mission provided by the system and for the second question, only system coins can be converted into real money not vice versa]

After asking every questions that I could have possibly thought of in this situation, of which the system answered some questions but choose to remain quiet in most of the other questions. Not having anymore questions in mind, I stood silent for a while before trying to initiate the conversation with the system as I was bored from all this waiting.

"Is it tomorrow at mid night that he was poisoned, right ".

[Yes]

"So I should move at half -n- hour before he is poisoned".

[Yeah, I think so. Since, the story hasn't change by much that it will even affect the auction]

Packing my things, I moved towards the portal, after showing the guards my Id I moved inside the portal.

After arriving at Rio city, I made my way towards the heroes garden.

Seeing that nobody was here I breathed a sigh of relief as I don't know characteristics of the thief. So I wouldn't have been

able to identify him.

Well it doesn't matter much as I can just ask system for appraisal.

[You like free things too much, don't you]

"Well who wouldn't and I also have you for free, right".

[Damn, I can't even reject it]

Feeling the frustration evident on system, I couldn't help but show a smile.

[Stop it, your smile is indefinitely close to your ear. If you continue to smile like this then it might just tear your mouth apart and touch your ear]

Ignoring every rude remark thrown on me by the system, I just continue to smile and the more I smiled the more frustrated it became.

Finally after waiting for a few hours, a person clad in black clothings(which spoke of suspicion) with a ragged breathing came into view. And you can tell just from a single glance that he seems suspicious.

To confirm my doubt, I asked the system for appraisal. After checking his status, a frown appeared on face, not knowing what to do I asked the system.

"Is the appraisal working properly"

[How can it even malfunction, atleast think before you speak]

"Then is it for real".

But seeing the system trying hard to control his laughter 'atleast that's what it seems to me'. Don't ask me how but I knew that the moment I saw the status of the one standing in front of me, only one thought was in revolving in my mind and that is-

"I am fucked".

Not knowing what to do I asked or blamed the system.

"You knew about it, right".

[What are you talking about:) ]

"Admitt it, I know that you knew about it".

[What did I knew°•°]

"That-".

[That]
