Chapter 33 - All Limited Purchases
Arthur was ustomed to running in the morning; more specifically, he was forced to run since his
home and workce were too far apart, and he oftencked the money to take public transportation,
so he had no choice but to travel on foot.
That habit proved difficult to break for him, even though he hadpletely transformed into a wealthy
person. Despite it being winter, he still continued with his regr routine, and due to his improved
physical condition, he felt that running in the morning was effortless. It doesn''t make him sweat a bit.
Arthur currently resides in the bustling city center, where a plethora of malls and luxury shops line the
streets. Recalling hecked the tech gadgets he was sporting, Arthur decided to stop at a celebrated
gadget product store that sells a vast selection of gadgets, ranging from smartphones andptops to
smartwatches and earphones. "Let''s check it out," he said.
Arthur stepped into the store, eliciting suspicious gazes from the onlookers. He surveyed the array of
smartphones spread across the desk, a wide selection of thetest models and features, and the
realization dawned on him that he could purchase anything he desired. "Perhaps I ought to acquire
every item there is?" he muttered to himself.
"Hey, look," the saleswoman said to her friend, gesturing towards Arthur as he stepped into the shop,
"there''s a handsome man."
Her colleague replied, "He''s just a guy who went out for a morning jog and happened to take a look at
the goods in this shop; he doesn''t really intend to purchase anything, so just ignore him."
Another one observed, "He''s checking out the priciest items here; it''s probably just a show of bravado,
trying to make it look like he can afford something, but I think it''s likely he''ll leave without buying
anything."
"Sure, sure, I agree; it''s still early, so just let him have a look and don''t mind him," the other said.
Arthur nced over at the salesmen who were gathered to one side, wondering why they were just
standing there and not offering their assistance. "Do I need to call them over?" he asked, his curiosity
piqued as he wondered about the various products on disy in the store. He was looking for some
help in selecting a suitable new smartphone or even a smartwatch that he could use for activities and
sports.
"Hey, look!" one person eximed, "He''s checking us out. Should we offer to help him?"
"Nah, just ignore him," the other replied dismissively. "He''s ogling a limited edition phone that''s priced
at an astonishing ten grand. Do you think he''ll actually buy it?"
"No chance," the other scoffed. "He''s just daydreaming. There''s no way he could ever afford it."
"Sure, if you''re keen on wasting your time on customers who don''t stand a chance of buying, then be
my guest," the first person said sarcastically.
"Yeah, I mean, someone who can afford that kind of item wouldn''te here wearing nothing but
running clothes," the second person added.
Even though the salesmen were speaking in hushed tones from afar, Arthur, with his enhanced
hearing, was able to make out their conversation, particrly when they were in a confined space.
Arthur approached them with determined steps and asked, "Could you help me choose the most
expensive items from all these gadgets? I would like to get every limited edition one if possible."

"Sir, excuse me?" The salesman sounded surprised by Arthur''s words, and he was instantly annoyed
that the man in front of him appeared to be mocking his temper. "Are you serious? You want to
purchase all the limited edition items in this store that cost at least 10 thousand dors?"
"Yes," Arthur nodded affirmatively, "I''m searching for the most durable items that I can use for an
extended period of time; this includes smartphones,ptops, smartwatches, earphones, headphones,
and any other type of electronic device."
The salesman trembled upon hearing Arthur''s words, "Is he serious?" he thought. He nervously walked
over to the ss shelf, where the store''s limited edition items were disyed, and showed them to
Arthur.
"You can buy all of this stuff, for a total of about 200 thousand dors," he said, smiling faintly. He was
certain Arthur would leave after being so shocked to hear the total price he had to pay, despite his
earlier bravado.
"Alright," Arthur nodded. "I''ll pay for everything and I''ll need your help to open all these boxes so I can
carry them away easily." He then walked over to a corner, where a variety of essories were
disyed. "I''d also like to purchase that backpack too," he said. "Please put all the items I bought in it."
Arthur then strolled over to the cashier and promptly paid for all of his purchases, generating a stir
among the salespeople, who were curious to discover the mystery shopper''s identity.
"Sir, are you sure you want to discard all these boxes and warranty cards?" the salesman asked.
"Yes," Arthur replied casually, "I''m sure; I don''t need that warranty card. After all, as long as you are still
selling simr items, I can simply buy the same one again, should my current one be damaged."
Arthur was delighted to finally have his ownptop, equipped with thetest technology, to eventually
use for managing the business he was about to start. Even though he had the funds, he was not about
to waste his money; he was determined to create a venture that he could run himself.
Apart from that, Arthur''s dream of owning a new smartphone had be a reality; in his hands was a
limited edition phone decorated with diamonds in several parts. "Ch, what a weird way to bump up the
price of a product," he thought.
He also purchased a smartwatch and earphones that he could use during his morning jog and
workouts. Additionally, the store had a variety of other gadgets to choose from.
Arthur carefully inspected his new smartwatch, admiring its sturdy and sophisticated construction as
well as its smooth appearance and user interface. He was particrly impressed with its ability to
measure his running speed and heart rate. "Interesting," he muttered to himself.
"Alright," Arthur said, slinging his new backpack onto his back. He gave the salesmen a satisfied smirk
and strode out of the shop, leaving them wide-eyed in surprise.
"I guess he must be really wealthy," the salesperson mused. "I really should stop judging people just by
their appearances."
"Not only that," they continued, "but I''ve already managed to hit my daily sales goal before the morning
is even over, thanks to the first customer!"
"I wonder who that person was?" they wondered aloud.
When Arthur started running back towards the hotel he was staying at, at the corner, he abruptly halted
when he noticed five people blocking his way. Unnerved, he was soon surrounded by them and forced
toe to a standstill.
