Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 29 28. The Starter’s Package

Shane didn't say another word after that. He immediately clicked on the shopping button and scanned through the weapons section. He filtered and chose his attribute-based weapons and searched again.

No results were found.

Shane stared at that screen as veins popped on his forehead, "What the heck?!"

"What happened?" Noah also exclaimed as he walked down the dark corridor, slightly shivering from cold and darkness.

Shane took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Nothing. You should continue doing your work. I'm just reading something here."

"You have the audacity to read useless things when I'm busy working my a** off?!" Noah glared at the floor as he crossed his arms on his chest, "Take control of the body right now and you do it in my stead!"

"Shut up!" Shane rubbed his forehead as he continued to buy some low-grade weapons of different attributes, "I'm doing something I cannot tell you about. It's confidential!"

"Ah, okay," Noah didn't ask any more about this as he continued to walk through the never-ending corridor filled with darkness. He rubbed his frozen arms and asked, "System, do you have a torch?"

"You can buy it in the shop."

"Damn it! I don't have Crana!"

"Wait, let me check something," Shane had forgotten that similar to himself, the livestream viewers were also entitled to send Crana to the hosts too! Several moments had passed, and he believed that the viewers would have given a decent amount to his host until now.

Thinking like this, he opened the job section instantly and looked at the host's stats only to be shocked. His host had a thousand Crana in his account!

His eyes widened as he stared at that number. It seemed that he would have to go through the livestream notification soon. He opened his mouth and said, "You've got a thousand Crana through the livestream service."

"Wait, what?" Noah's steps paused as he frowned. "What's the livestream service? Wait, you don't have to tell me about it. Let me guess, it's where other people watch me act like a complete idiot and send me money?"

"That's exactly it."

"You get something out of it too, don't you?"

"Eh, only ten percent commission," Shane spoke as he rubbed his nose. He would never admit that aside from this, the viewers would also send him money if they wanted. He already had close to six thousand Crana now even after buying some stuff.

"That's a shame. You're poorer than I thought."

Shane glanced at his dashboard and said nothing. He had six times more money as compared to his host, but this was still enough. The weapons he ended up buying were all useless. He sighed and asked, "Do you want my help buying you weapons?" f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"Yes, recommend me the best weapon at this rate."

"Host, I'd recommend you to buy both the weapons and the healing potions," Shane spoke generously as he opened the shop section on the job window. Here, he could see the host's shop and select the items the host could buy. Not only that, he could also choose what the host might see in his shop window.

He selected a few items and said, "This is the Starter's Pack. It comes with both the weapons of different classes, but of a lower grade and potions to heal your wounds. The total amount would be a thousand Crana."𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Of course, there was no such thing as a starter's pack. Shane was just bluffing because he didn't want to explain too much.

Noah's eyes widened as he rubbed his hands together, "Is there a torch?"

Shane looked at the weapons section and silently deleted one of the useless weapons and chose a torch that ran on a battery made out of divine energy. It could be used for a few days depending on the user.

Then he said, "Yes."

"Cool!" Noah's eyes practically glowed at the moment. "Show it to me!"

"Just open your menu and see."

"Menu!" Noah almost screamed out his guts due to his excitement. Shane rubbed his ears and sighed.

He never liked the protagonists who would scream all the time for small issues, but those animes were still so good because of the plot and other aspects. So he could only ignore the unpleasant screams of the main characters and watch them.

But, this wasn't an anime anymore. It was a brutal reality, and the host, even though fictional, was real enough for Shane. He didn't want to fail at this stage. So he immediately said in an irritated voice, "If you continue screaming, I'll take back the Starter's Pack and even grab all your money!"

"You can do that?!" Noah was genuinely afraid at this point.

Of course not, but…. "Yes," Shane said shamelessly as he nodded with a righteous expression on his face, "So don't you dare offend me in the future."

Just as Noah was about to speak, Shane's notification rang as he silenced Noah, "Shh. I need to work. I've sent the Starter's Pack to your inbox. Check it out."

Only then did the host go silent. Shane sighed and opened the text notification only to find a message from Dirt. He remembered he had asked the robot about the 'luck' thing in the stats.

Now that he thought about it, he could have messaged his friends too, but it was a rule that he couldn't contact anyone other than the ones available at the help desk outside the portal.

He opened the message and read it out loud:

"Luck is the result of your karma. For instance, if you were a demon, had killed millions of people and tortured them to death, your luck factor would be a million in the negatives. If you have it positive, you might have done something good."

"Just see your own luck factor. You must have done something good to obtain twenty luck in the positives. It means you won't face any difficulty in this current life, and you'll also face good situations in the future. It is also true for the negatives. Their lives will be filled with thorns. If you do more good things in this life, your luck percentage will increase in the next."

Shane read the explanation and nodded as he turned off the window without replying. Since the host's luck factor was in the negatives, it meant the difficulty level might end up getting higher and they would face hazardous situations.

But he was a system, not a host. He couldn't just grab control of the body at all times. Was there anything he could use to increase the luck factor? He immediately opened the job section and went directly to the shopping area of the host.

The result made the corners of his mouth twitch.
