READ NOVEL FREE Chapter 3: System 2
With the trading points, Abel immediately opened the system mall.
[Mall] (Beginner): Refresh three random items every seven days, and a limited-time discounted item will be launched at the beginning of the month.

. . . . . .
Abel couldn't help but feel excited!
The [Red Heart] special product was a game-changer: 99 hearts translated to 99 years of life!
In other words, as long as he had sufficient trading points, he wouldn't need to worry about his limited lifespan for the foreseeable future.
And the system's surprises didn't stop there.
The [Talent Alienation Ray], originally priced at 2,000 trading points, was now available for a limited-time flash sale price of 100 trading points, a truly incredible deal!
(Note: Commodity values generally increase in rarity: White, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red. Special commodities have a separate classification.)
As for the remaining three ordinary commodities, each had its own utility, and it was difficult to resist the urge to purchase them.
However, while 1,000 trading points seemed like a substantial amount, it was not an insurmountable sum.
After careful consideration, he spent 150 trading points to acquire the [Light Body Armor] (White) and [I am a Passerby] (Blue).
Both items were crucial for his immediate survival.
He would defer the purchase of other items until he reached a safer location.
After completing his purchases, the two items were immediately added to his system's [Package].
The system's [Package] offered unlimited storage space, but it could only be used to store items acquired within the system.
Abel immediately donned the [Light Body Armor] (White).
The black bulletproof vest felt surprisingly light, weighing only about a pound. He wondered what special material it was made of.
He then put on his blood-stained uniform jacket over the armor.
Having done this, he returned to the [Order] tab.
[Do you wish to begin searching for prayer orders?]
[Current Search Times: 1 (Free)]
Abel pondered for a moment before selecting "OK."
He had a simple strategy for this initial search: use it as a trial run to gather information.
Therefore, it was best to initiate the search as soon as possible.
The system immediately began its search.
[Searching for prayer orders... Search Complete!]
[Received a Primary Prayer Order]
[Order Description: A young man known as the "Reaper Elementary School Student" was accidentally apprehended while tracking down a murderer. He urgently requires a sharp knife to cut the rope.]
[Order Content: A sharp weapon capable of cutting rope]
[Order Basic Reward: A pair of foot-strengthening shoes, 100 Trading Points]
[Remaining Order Time: 4 minutes and 59 seconds]
. . . . . .
"There's a time limit?"
While surprised by the 5-minute countdown, Abel remained calm.
Instead, he began to analyze the situation and gather information.
"It seems that strict adherence to the principle of 'equivalent exchange' isn't necessary to complete the order."
"Otherwise, the value of an ordinary knife wouldn't justify the reward of a pair of foot-strengthening shoes..."
"Of course, this assumption is based on the premise that the 'Reaper Elementary School Student' mentioned in the order description is the one I know."
