Another World Mall

"So…" Christina pinched her chin. "Basically, Another World Mall is all about money. If you have money, you will have the goods?"

Clovis nodded. "To put it simply, yes. First, I need to use money to upgrade my membership and save enough money to maintain that membership. Then, I can expand the limit of my purchase with money. Last but not least, I will use the remaining money to purchase items.

"From the time being, I should unlock one more store first before having a big upgrade. After this upgrade, there will be a store that provides service. And that's also when I can actually take people from this world to Another World Mall.

"I have tested it as well. When I was being pushed from the trucks and surrounded by beasts, I escaped to Another World Mall. Apparently, it allowed me to completely disappear from this world.

"I'm not entirely sure how it works, but this is my trump card in saving myself."

"Still…" Christina crossed her arms. "Just look at all these items. You can actually provide them as much as you want, right?"

"Yes. Although there's a limit for the purchase, I can bring them out as much as I want," confirmed Clovis.

"I understand why Hana will suck you dry." Christina smiled wryly. "If she learns about this, the only thing on her mind is how to make you take as many items out as possible. Even if it bankrupts her, it will mean she can fork out all those items from you."

"Yes. Although I trust Hana, I don't plan to let her control me. That much is clear." Clovis waved his hand. "So, you don't have to worry about it."

Kanaria asked, "In that case, there's no change in our method? I mean, we can just continue to hunt and get stronger while getting some money, right? And because we know how your unique ability works, we just gather the money for you and circulate it back to us without telling anyone about it. Is that right?"

"Yes. But try to make it not as obvious. After all, the bank still tracks our information. Although there is some security, we can't fully trust them. It will be hard if people see through this method before the time for me to reveal it comes." Clovis nodded.

"Fair enough." Kanaria agreed.

Jay frowned. "Does that mean you are going to be more proactive in using your unique ability? While I don't really want to rely on that food, I can't see any way to defeat the Tier 7 beast without them… even if we reach the next stage."

"That's my concern as well." Clovis raised one finger. "I don't want to rely on the food either. After all, like a wise man once said, if there's a first time, it means there will be a second or third time.

"Even if we say we don't want to rely on it, we will end up eating them quite often. At the very least, we won't be able to resist much if we want to eat them again.

"The previous one was forced by the situation, but when we thought that way, in the future, we might end up thinking the same thing." Clovis let out a long sigh. "Sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Jay shook his head. "It's not a problem with how many times we're going to rely on it. What we need right now is a clear conscience.

"We can rely on it because it's a unique ability, just like we're using our tools, weapons, and so on. However, we shouldn't be dependent on it.

"As long as you don't use them to make a certain situation manageable, I don't really mind. We're trapped right now, so let's use this incident as a lesson.

"However, in the future, if you think that you're able to challenge a person just because you have this food, I'll be the first one to punch you… Well, maybe not. At least, if it's just you alone. After all, you can bring out food anytime you want.

"But it's not the same for the others. If we become dependent on your food, we will die sooner or later. So, if you feed us forcefully again, I'm going to punch you. Yeah, it should be like this."

Clovis smiled wryly. Still, thanks to Jay, he didn't have to worry much about the Libation Fiesta.

Clovis nodded. "I guess that's all I can say about my unique ability right now. That's all I know currently. If you want to know more, you have to wait until I understand it. Maybe you can help me figure it out as well, especially once I'm able to take someone inside.

"Maybe Jay will be interested in the movie theater and learn it by experiencing the training directly to grasp a couple of new techniques."

Jay smiled. "Of course, I'm going to take advantage of it. Anyway, don't say anything about this, Christina, even to your family. I don't think it's appropriate."

"I know that." Christina sighed. "I know I'm not that trustworthy, but I know which one I should share and which one I shouldn't. I will only share this information with my family once Clovis formally shows it to the world.

"But for now, I will keep quiet… even though I'm sure my grandfather can offer some advice regarding a unique ability since he's more experienced than me. But I guess telling Sir Michael directly will be a much better option."

Clovis agreed. "For now, the discussion ends here. Anyone have something to say?"

No one raised their hands.

Clovis then clapped his hands. "Alright. With the unique ability topic coming to a close, let's talk about what we should do next. Since we're inside the vault, we can only go out once Reolf, Ragna, Melody, and Christina reach the next tier.

"Although my unique ability can help to a certain extent for all of them except for Christina, I want to use essence as the big part of it. Hence, let's gather around the essences and try to use them. It's fine if we don't use it as a part of the super injection. At this point, I can't care less about the super injection. What do you think?"
