4 Upgrade (2/2)

'I'll test abilities tomorrow' It was only 6 p.m. but Alan felt very sleepy.

Soon after, he fell asleep.

Twelve hours later, Alan woke up and headed to the restroom. He slowly washed his face without looking in the mirror. Then he dried off with a towel, took a breath and looked up.

In the reflection, he saw a muscular, good-looking guy. Changes were quite astounding. His cracked skin became smoother and looked more healthy.

The curls of his brown hair became thicker and seemed more docile than before. His lifeless blue eyes were replaced by two bright sapphires.

Now Alan was taller and looked older. He thoroughly examined himself and then smiled.

'Easy life' He thought.

His current appearance was easily above average. He couldn't imagine how he would look with 10 charm points.

Alan went to the kitchen and had a quick snack. Then he took one bag and turned toward the stairs to the second floor.

'Time to go' It was indeed time to find a better place to live.

He carefully passed by the beds. Alan had no keys so he slowly walked out of the window of the second floor.

He jumped down and headed towards the nearest jewelry store that he had noticed beforehand. While walking, he checked his stats.

Now Alan was 6 times stronger, faster and tougher than a normal person. He felt like his body was filled with energy.

As for intelligence, Alan couldn't tell if something about the way he thinks changed. He felt refreshed and his mind was clear, that's all.

Some time later Alan arrived to the jewelry store. He hid in the corner and purchased different golden accessories, which then appeared out of thin air, and put them in the bag. Only then did he enter jewelry store.

Inside, everything looked gorgeous. Marble floors, silver walls, a huge chandelier in the center of the hall and long glass showcases with different jewelery inside.

Alan, with his shabby shirt and black pants, didn't fit into the interior. Nevertheless, he confidently approached one of the employees of the store.

It was tall man in a suit. He had a sharp, long nose, pale skin, and a penetrating gaze. He looked more like an owner of this place rather than just an employee.

”How can I help you, sir?” He asked politely.

”I would like to sell some jewelery.”

”Let me take a look.”

”Sure” Alan pulled 5 gold necklaces out of the bag and put them in front of a man.

Then the store employee took out a magnifying glass and began to examine the necklaces. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said:

”24 carat gold, excellent. Let's measure the weight.” He took out small scales and put necklaces on them.

”1.76 pounds(0.8 kg). It will be 32,673$. Is that fine with you?”

”Yes.” Alan responded briefly. After that, store employee handed him 32,673$ and said goodbye.

Alan exited the jewelry store and took a deep breath. It was time to spend some money.
