บท 51: Chapter 51
While Hunter watched over his women's transformation others were still on the move. Mainly Eric finally packed his people up and started to move them to Windsor. He also traded some more promises to Ruby in exchange for he transporting heavier things as well as younger children. This of course was slow going but at least they have a destination and goals instead of simply trying not to die.
His destination was Devonshire Mall, middle of windsor with several places that can be looted around it. Even a scrap yard was nearby for steel that can be repurposed. Windsor also has several machine shops located a few blocks from the mall that can provide all the tools they would need. Of course besides some generators that were fixed there is still next to no power.
While this sounded perfect because it was so of course there was already a group occupying it. Then again Eric figured as much and just doesn't care. His only cares right now was the situation between Cassidy, Jade, and the ongoing battle for control between him and his inner passenger. The last one seems to be his biggest issue so far. The constant back and forth between the two made it hard for him to fully make commands. Wolf of course is just as qualified the only issue is the love triangle or square going on between the four that is probably the only thing that's ever caused the two to fight. They usually get along quite well considering they follow similar values in life, the only major difference is the way they do things. Erik has more consideration for the future while Wolf only focuses on the present with the most direct solution. Balancing each other helps in many aspects of their life.
The both of them sigh as they really didn't want to actually fight each other. The sisters on the other hand are making everything much more complicated than it had to be. That moment they both agreed to vent some frustration out on Hunter the next time they saw him.
Sitting at home feeling chills crawl up his spine Hunter tried to look around for a threat, not finding anything he finally focused on Victor.
"Nice new form, still tiny though."
"Piff. Not for long I'll grow fast like big sis Frost. Then I'll get women of my own."
"Sure you will, on that point you can't sleep in here anymore. I'll get you set up in your own room, I would have done this forever ago if the girls didn't stop me. Not to mention you scratching at the door, I swear your part dog."
"Don't insult this great lizard, now then."
The cute little green boy held out his hand towards Hunter.
"What?"
"Allowance."
Hunter's left brow raised in a questionable gesture.
"What do you need an allowance for?"
"Women."
"That literally explains nothing. You can talk so try explaining."
"New system updated shop. Need allowance to buy women."
Hunter immediately started to pity the little guy from saying he wanted to buy women.
"Wait where did you even here about allowances from? It was Max wasn't it."
Victor flinched a little before looking away. With a sigh.
"How much do you want?"
Immediately perking up.
"Hundred thousand."
"No."
With no hesitation at all he flat out denied the now pouting Victor.
"Why not? You should be loaded by now, are you being stingy?"
Hunter immediately swore to fight it out with Max for teaching others just to mess with him. This thought instantly scared him by making him wonder what Frost was taught.
"Anyways no, who would you have even bought with that kinda money."
Victor made his screen visible to Hunter with the store opened to a new tab that was part of the update. Looking at the reptilian women who seemed to be snake kin or something similar. Her general description was included with a height of five feet, bright red scales with pink undertones, ruby red eyes that had vertical pupils of a snake, and breasts that paid homage to the saying "Got milk". It was obvious why Victor chose this girl.
Her background was actually a chieftain's daughter who had lost her freedom when her tribe was lost a war. She was then sold to the system which can apparently happen. She has some special skills such as natural medical knowledge, herbalism knowledge, and was trained in massage therapy. Her species was a type of snake people different from lizard men, where lizardmen developed as a downgraded version of draconians or a regression in evolution, snakemen were evolved snakes that became humanoid after evolution.
Hunter became curious after seeing all this and opened his own screen and there it was a new tab in the store. The store sold several types of subordinates with the most common one as slaves who were sold to the system. Some sold themselves on the condition that their new master fulfilled a few terms in exchange for their lives. Some were even hired as would a mercenary and in exchange for payment over a determined time they would be loyal. After that time period they would be free and would either go back into the store waiting for new clients, extend their contract, or decide they were done and lived freely on earth or their home planet.
There were even several categories from trainers or teachers, fighters, laborers, skilled trades people, ect. As a rule, slaves were usually less skilled but that's only as a generalization, also the self sold people could have much higher self valuation that what their factually worth. Up to the buyer to determine if they get a deal or not.
After a few minutes looking through the store Hunter finally looked at the actually subordinate system in place. After a bit of reading he figured it was like a leader system more than anything else. You as the boss can recruit others in exchange for different things depending on the situation. Example A you convince someone you are the better person to follow and they agree so they become you subordinate in exchange for safety. That relationship has no real power over the person and they can stop being your subordinate anytime. Meanwhile example B you beat someone up and force them to sign a full subordinate contract making have to do what you say or else suffer a penalty, most commonly death. Finally example C you higher someone to be your subordinate and they agree in return for evo points. This relationship is the closest to what a worker and boss relationship is. The worker still has to do what the boss says but if he doesn't the worst that happens is he doesn't get paid, the worker is also free at anytime to leave.
In the store it's mostly slave contracts being exchanged and that's exactly what Victor wants. Looking towards Victor Hunter asks.
"Why should I buy her for you? You don't do anything to earn an allowance. Not to mention with how tiny you are, what would you do if you had her."
Puffing up his chest in an insulted fashion.
"What else but sleep with her."
It was cute coming from a boy looking around seven. His voice was still a little higher pitched than normal boys and he was doing his best to look manly. It took everything Hunter had to not start laughing.
"Ok, what's in it for me little guy? What can you do to make it worth me spending my points on her?"
This took Victor by surprise and the little boy stopped trying to look manly and adopted a thinking expression. Hunter had nowhere to be while watching over his girls so he started to browse the different people he could buy. Suddenly he realized he had no idea just how much evo points he had, getting out of the store he opened up his own tab and was shocked. Little over twenty million points, looking back at the info just the goblin chief was worth almost nineteen million so it sorta made sense in a way.
Looking at the information for earning points it seemed lower tier 0 is worth one point, middle tier 0 five points, and finally upper tier 0 twenty. That's generalized and can change based on species and strength. Each tier going up is worth around a hundred times more. So he understood why Artemis was harping on him to use some points.
Finally Victor stopped thinking and in his most serious face.
"I'll do work."
Hunter almost flew over to him and tried to beat some brains back into that muscle head if his. Taking a few deep breaths.
"From now on you'll go hunting with the others and you'll give me half the evo points you earn."
Victor looking like he might start crying at any moment.
"Bubbu…but why?"
"Too pay for her of course, I won't just give you a million evo points. In this case and only this case I'll let you buy her first but you can't sleep with her until you pay me back."
Looking even more distraught than before. He had just one request.
"Ok I won't have sex with her but could I still use her as a pillow? Please Hunter."
Giving his all to not look manly but cute this time Hunter gave up and nodded. Going into his shop and finding the girl Victor wanted he sent a purchase request. Within a minute it was approved and a circle of bright white light expanded on the floor.
Finally after a few seconds the light dispersed and the snake women appeared kneeling towards Hunter.
"Thank you for purchasing this unworthy one master, what shall I do to please you."
Her voice had a slightly hissing aspect to it but gentle at the same time, it was comfortable to listen to. Victor immediately ran towards the girl and hugged her rubbing his head into her chest which was bare, actually at that moment Hunter realized she didn't have a single article of clothing. Close enough that he was able to grab Victor without bothering Frost on his lap, pulling the unwillingly child out of his paradise.
"Firstly put some clothes on, from today onward you will be taking care of this pip squeak until he pays me back for buying you. At that point he will be your master. What is your name?"
At this point she seemed slightly said at Hunter not being her permanent master because her bloodline was telling her how powerful this human was. The little boy was better off than her mostly from getting to drink some of Hunter's blood constantly but wasn't near his level.
"The name is Orithibra Master but most simply call me Ori."
After giving her some clothes he bought from the store Hunter quickly looked towards Victor, who wouldn't turn away from the sight of Ori getting dressed. Smacking him upside the head.
"Remember what I said before and if you don't pay me back in three months she's mine."
That quickly got his attention.
"Fine, put me down imma go hunting right now."
With that he ran out the room with his motto in his heart. "For women I would face any challenges except going against Hunter or big sis." With a nod at in his personal opinion a deep and wide motto.
"Now off to find Max and try to get some easy points."
[LOL I love writing about little Victor. hope you guys enjoyed even if it was a bit of an info dump.
