For the first ti, I went outside without being stared at for the wrong reason. It felt good. Everyone that was looking at was either my face or my rank.
Without any distractions, I arrived at the bakery. Checking out the cake stand, there were various kinds that I was interested in taking.
"Could I take the chocolate cake?"
It was rare for to eat anything that had chocolate in it. I had a sweet tooth, but it was a sha that I fulfilled my needs.
"That would be 55 dollars."
The cashier, who was female in her near twenties, smiled at . I couldn't tell if she was interested in or valued as a custor. It was rare for soone to smile at .
My heart started to hurt, seeing that the cake was expensive. But today was my day. And I'm going to do my best to celebrate it.
Taking out my money, I handed it over to her. I had six thousand dollars in my bank. For soone who was working for three years, that was pitiful.
"You must be strong for soone your age."
The female cashier initiated a conversation. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, seeing how the girl started that as a conversation starter.
Checking the female worker ranking, she was ranked 9B—soone who was higher ranked than average.
"I'm not that strong. I don't know how to fight."
What I said was the truth, and besides. With ranking out, it was genuinely hard for people to fall in love.
Since this society was now talent-based, everyone's goal was to earn the attraction of a higher-ranked person, regardless of gender.
"Is that so? Who are you buying your cake for?"
"I'm buying one for my girlfriend."
What? I'm not going to tell soone I'm buying a cake for myself. And I would rather slap myself in the face than give my parents anything good.
"She must be one lucky person."
I could hear the disappointnt coming from her voice.
"Sorry, but I must go."
Getting the cake, I left. Honestly, if the female worker wanted to throw herself at , I wouldn't mind. But considering my circumstances, I needed to chill out.
First things first, I need to disown my parents. Now that I have the power to do so, I might as well do it. I can't have them leech off of .
Next is financial. Now that I have quit my job, I need so way to earn money. I could use my ability, but it would be hard for soone to hire because of it.
But the chances of soone trying to et were high. After all, the ranking in abilities has changed. If they were smart enough, they would imdiately rope in.
Thinking about what I would do, I arrived at my apartnt on the way to my door. There were three people outside my door.
Just like what I had expected. They were here to recruit . I couldn't help but grin, seeing how my resources flew to . I quickly changed my face before they noticed what I was thinking.
"Could I ask what you three are doing waiting around at the door?"
"Are you Charles Anderson?"
"Yes?"
The three of them were dumbfounded. It was understandable, considering the significant change in my body and face. The body enhancer was stacked.
"Ahem. I'm Karl, a representative from the International Defense Agency. I want to offer you a deal."
Karl, an old man in his fifties here, quickly introduced himself. His hair was neatly trimd and was black with a shade of gray. He was aging, but his body was still as good as an adult male's. He looked like an excellent grandpa-typed character.
"I'm Jasmine, a representative from the Interdinsional Union Committee."
Jasmine, unlike Karl, was soone who looked like she was in her twenties. Nevertheless, her long black hair and brown eyes were attractive.
Coupled with the fact that she was developed nicely, her black suit perfectly defined her features.
"I'm Katie, representative of the Specialized Ranker's Agency."
Katie, like Jasmine, was sowhere in her twenties. Her blond hair and blue eyes made it easy to look at. While she wasn't as stacked as Jasmine, she still had a nice body.
"Why don't you three co in? It would make it easier than to stand here."
The three of them agreed that we would talk for a while. For tis like these, I wished I had more chairs. Luckily I had a clean carpet, and my apartnt was cleaned three days ago.
Sitting down on a carpet, everyone here already knew that I was poor. After all, they should have so information about since they're here to recruit .
"I will be honest with you all. I will be taking the deal that will give the most benefit."
It was better for them to know what I wanted. I don't want any grudges coming off of them just because I rejected them. They could fight each other for all I care.
Karl, the old man, had frowned upon hearing that. Did he not like what I said?
"Is that so? I don't think you fit for our organization if you're filled with greed."
"You should know how my life has been."
Karl didn't seem like soone who wanted to negotiate with . He let out a grunt and left the house.
That was fine. I don't think I will work in a place like the International Defense Agency. I wasn't soone who would help people for the good of it.
The Interdinsional Union Committee and the Specialized Ranker's Agency are ideal organizations for to join.
"Charles Anderson, we from the Specialized Ranker's Agency would like to offer you 500M Yearly, with full-on training expenses, and a bodyguard within the top 1000 in combat power.
Katie, who broke my thought, had offered a large sum. I couldn't help but ntally drool at the price I was being offered.
