Felix walked rapidly through the crowd while changing his disguise that he used to scam the frauds, into a new one.
Since the mont Felix stepped inside the UVR, he was using a disguise to keep his utmost security while shopping or even offending soone. So he won't get discovered and hunted in real life.
If it was not for this feature, most commoners won't dare enter the UVR, where they can get bullied constantly by people with a higher background than them.
The only ones, who ignore this feature and walk proudly in the UVR, are those who trust their strength to protect themselves or mbers of strong families and Bloodline Clans.
This was why the majority of public markets in the UVR had at least 90% scamrs trying to swindle the shoppers' coins in one way or another.
However, just because those swindlers had disguise on their faces, it doesn't an that authorities can't locate their real living address. After all, the products they used for their scam, need to be delivered to the buyer no matter what.
If so, it will be quite easy for those backgrounds to fish them out of their holes, if they followed such a lead.
Even so, the scamrs were still running rampage within the UVR. After all, they could just bully the commoners who had no one to rely on, earning their coins.
This blatant discard to The SGA authority, finally pushed the alliance into taking things upon their own hands, creating SGA markets, both in public and online.
Those markets promised absolute trust in the truthfulness of their products. Anything bought inside their markets gets verified and authorized by professionals before the seller even advertise it.
So one can have peace of mind while shopping without the constant pressure that what he bought was fake.
But how could those capitalists in the alliance miss such heaven-sent opportunity to earn coins from the commoners effortless?
Thus, they announced a statent that every product purchased in their markets had a 20% increase on its original price, to pay for the experts' assistance during the verification process.
Just this rule alone single-handedly turned off the majority of commoners' expectations towards the promised SGA Market.
Because scamrs in public markets only increase the original price by 10% to 20%. It is up to the buyer to figure it out and negotiate the price down.
As for cases like the scam that the gang did, were rare and few within the UVR. Since not everyone had the smarts and the balls, to pull it off on an heir of an influential family.
anwhile, The SGA Market might have promised them authentic items, but a 20% increase in price was still a scam, just more in the open and upfront.
So most commoners and bloodliners preferred to rather take risks while shopping in the public markets than to give the SGA, the satisfaction of obtaining their hard-earned money that easily.
.....
In the Gambling Den, Felix pressed the bet button on Solid Wall and laid back on the chair in a relaxed manner.
He never expected to et the Five S Gang, who scamd him out of his hard-earned 350,000 SC in his previous life.
He always kept this bitter mory close to his heart; because of the large setback, it inflected him.
He was planning to use those coins to buy a rare rank tier 2 bloodline, but after he got scamd, he got stuck in the purification realm for an extra year.
This is why; he instantly recognized the fat seller voice even within the noisy crowd, as he was the one responsible for cheating him out of his money.
But now all is good, he got his coins back and even with a quite substantial bonus. He was not complaining at all, especially after betting that 8 million he had on Solid Wall.
If he won his bet, he would earn a whopping 80 million SC at once. This capital can last him for quite a long ti if used properly.
This is why gambling on gas was popular, specifically, ones that includes a large number of players.
The winning odds might be almost impossible, but if soone managed to win, he will truly strike a windfall.
And Felix with his mories of the future can earn as much as he desired without worrying about his betting information getting leaked, as the only one who knows about those details is the Queen AI.
She is bound by the rules to keep everyone's privet information to herself.
"The only thing left now is to watch the ga tomorrow and hope that everything goes as planned. Otherwise, my mories are going to fuck over."
He mumbled as he entered a hover cab, planning to head towards the resources market to prepurchase the potions that will ease up the integration process and let him awaken quicker and safer.
He shivered inside the cab as he rembered his previous awakening that lasted for 20 torturous minutes because he didn't manage to use those potions.
.....
7 minutes later...
"Boss, do you have Awakening Pain Relief potions?" Felix asked politely the mont he stepped inside a small cozy shop.
"Let check handso." A middle-aged woman smiled and stood up, heading towards the back of the store.
2 minutes later she returned and shook her head, "Sorry handso, I am out of stock."
She quickly added after seeing his disappointed look, "The next shipnt from the Forsythia Witch Empire will arrive 15 to 20 days later. I could register your na on our waiting list and call you the mont we obtain the items if you would like to wait."
"Alright, I want to pre-purchase 10 bottles. I will pay tomorrow the full amount up front." He nodded in agreent and offered, "Let's sign a contract now."
The lady boss's eyes brightened up and tapped on her AP Bracelet, displaying a holographic contract in front of Felix.
"I have requested the Queen to put conditions and terms, entailing that tomorrow you have to pay 100,000 SC for ten bottles of Pain Relief upfront. 15 days later when I obtain the stock, I will send them to your real address free of charge."
Felix smirked those terms and said composedly, "Change the term 'when I obtain' to, you will guarantee that the bottles arrive at my address safely without problems." He extended a finger and added, "Plus, any problem that happens during the delivery will be counted as you breaking the contract, thus paying a fine of double the amount that I paid for."
The lady boss chuckled while covering her mouth and said, "Fine by . But I want to change the term 'any problem that happens during the delivery' to, 'problems that happen during the delivery will be counted as both of us breaking the contract, thus splitting the fine 50% 50%."
"You have a Deal."
Felix agreed calmly and signed the contract by etching his unique ID code on the empty signing space of the contract.
The mont the signing process finished, the lady boss broke the tense atmosphere by praising him with a smile.
"You are good, lad. To even counter-attack by adding that heavy fine, in case of problems happen during the delivery. Since you can simply claim that the bottles that you received were damaged, thus having pay 200,000 CS for it, while also giving you the bottles. Truly a vicious move."
"Still not as vicious as you, boss." He scoffed, "The mont you added the term 'when I obtain the stock'. You never planned to admit that you received it after I co to check my bottles. You can simply say that the shipnt got robbed by pirates, thus removing yourself from the contract restrain, while also taking my coins."
After saying his piece, he turned around and walked towards the exit.
Signing a contract in the resources market is the sa, assigning one with the devil. The shopper must always keep a lookout for loopholes, and wordplay. Lest he realizes too late that he paid to get screwed over.
The Boss lady observed Felix's retreating back and thought.
'He must have gone through a painful contract experience before, to keep him on his toes like this.'
