Skylar nodded his head.
She deserves a thank you, but still, there is no way my breath... the residual ether thing they call it, will harm me—I can easily dispel them.
Maybe she doesn't know. Nah, let's forget it...
Skylar concluded his thought. He turned to the madame and he saw her flashed him her professional smile that look less charming compared to her genuine smile she has revealed.
However before, he could do or say anything, *Beep* the elevator stopped.
"Lord player, we have reached the fifth floor bridge. This is where we come down." The madame with a professional smile on her face, informed them as the elevator door in front of them opened.
"Okay, lead the way." Skylar gestured and the madame nodded with a professional smile, doing as told, with Skylar and Starboy following her lead out of the elevator, and stepping onto the top of the third bridge among the five evenly spaced skybridges that makes the fifth layer of skybridge inside the store tower, and that leads to the fifth floor of the store building that they are going to.
However, before they continue their journey on the skybridge, Skylar paused and turned to look behind him at the front wall of the store tower where the skybridge other end adjoins it, with the other side—the front side—adjoining and leading to the store building they are going to in front.
How can someone even do all this physically?
He wondered how the skybridges that are made entirely of glass, could seamlessly join with a vertical glass wall, and at the same time be capable of supporting thousands of people's weight simultaneously, not to talk of their enormous scale that matches the super colossal scale of the building.
Setting his thought aside, Skylar turned to face the madame. He made a face, she understand, as she responded to it by continuing to lead him and Starboy towards the fifth floor of the store building in front.
A few seconds later and while they continue thier walk in earnest, Skylar noticed that a group of teenagers far in front of them—who are standing closer to the transparent glass balustrade of the skybridge—have been recording his face his hood couldn't completely hide with drone cameras floating beside them, and have also been talking about it among themselves.
This is one of the reason I put on that mask.
He frowned and looked at the madame in front. Then as his eyes caught her massive swaying rear, his expression relaxed and softened.
I will forgive you because of your abundance.
He smiled and then he turn his face to the side to briefly look at Starboy who unlike usual is no longer staring at the madame massive rear, but is looking beyond the madame with a casual expression.
What's with this brat? Is he playing bro code? Skylar smiled, chuckling inwardly. Does he think I am interested in the madame? And because of that, don't want to interfere...
Skylar chuckled inwardly. He is funny.
Almost chuckling aloud, Skylar concluded his thought, then he returned his focus to thier journey.
A few moments later, the madame slowed down as they reach the parallel skybridge that bisects at the middle and provide passage between the five skybridges that leads seperately to the fifth floor, including the one they are standing on, which altogether makes the fifth layer of skybridges.
"Lord players, let's go this way, my unit is on the second section." She informed them. She pointed at the part of the store building the second skybridge some distance beside them leads to; implying they took a turn, taking the parallel bridge that leads to the second skybridge that will lead right to the front of her store section.
"Okay." Skylar shrugged and Starboy also did the same. Then seeing this, the madame turned and starts walking on the parallel skybridge with Skylar and Starboy following behind her.
A moment later, after concluding an eight hundred meter walk on the parallel skybridge, they reached the second skybridge and took a right turn that leads to the second section of the store building fifth floor.
Hmm, there a lot of people here.
As they continue their journey on the second skybridge, Skylar noticed there are people numbering in the hundreds scattered across the front part of the skybridge where it adjoins the store buildung and the spacious front of the store building fifth floor second section it leads to.
Skylar turned his focus to the madame leading in front.
"How do I address you?" He asked her.
"Lord player, you can call me second madame... no, please call me madame Juli." She replied facing forward. She did not turn to face Skylar, since she didn't stop leading them.
"Madame Juli, why are there many people over there?" Skylar looked once again at the scattered crowd that are now looking thier way, far in front.
"Lord player, they are our customers, and must have been waiting for me to return." The madame replied with a hint of pride in her voice.
"I see." Skylar smiled. "So your store is popular? And it seems we've caused you a major inconvenience?"
"No, lord player. Not at all." Responding, the madame protested.
"They all shouldn't be here by now—my store opens in the next one hour... They are probably here at this time because of a sales event happening today that requires participants to come early." She added.
"I understand, but, should you be treating us differently? Or are we special in some ways we don't know?" Skylar smiled faintly. His eyes were glued to the madame spotless and smooth back he could see through her mesh gown.
To his question, however, the madame did not reply right away. To him as he walk behind her, it felt like she was stumped and didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, with crowds looking at them, they reached the end of the skybridge—the place where it joins a wide space, which is the front of the store building fifth floor second section; the front of where madame Juli said her store is.
"Lord, my store is store number seven." The madame informed them as they left the skybridge and stepped foot on the fifth floor. It seemed she chose not answer Skylar's previous question.
"Second madame, Good morning."
The madame replied a bald man's greeting with a nod and a professional smile.
"Who really is that person?"
"Maybe he is a new model they hired."
"He looks majestic and mysterious to me. Maybe he is a lord from another zone."
"Do you think he is that one-hit lord?"
"Ah! You are right. That cloak and the pants are the same."
"That's not necessary true. Have you forgotten there are people that cosplay as lords, maybe he is one... And look at that face, why will someone on the same level as prime Adam be a player..."
"You are right Mr 'Gold bag'. Unless he is stupid..."
"Yeah... just imagine the number and quality of female players he can get with that face and body."
"Ah! That's true, I am fucking envious... He can even joggle between four to five empress if he is smart..."
...
Skylar turned his focus away from the voices drifting from the crowd. He chukled faintly.
This people are hilarious. Why won't I be a player because of my look?
How far can looks alone take someone...
["Big bro, people don't know you are the one-hit lord. Your face was not shown in your video that went viral. That bastard that secretly took it messed up."]
A voice transmission from Starboy interrupted Skylar's thoughts. He chuckled faintly, then sent his own voice transmission, responding:
["Its great it wasn't revealed. I don't like ants and flies buzzing around me."]
Meanwhile, after they cover about two hundred meters from where the skybridge ends and simultaneously where the front of the store building fifth floor begins, they reached the front of a vast chameleon glass wall that a large part of it look like the outline of a giant door, as its has been adjusted to look like a black tinted glass, unlike the other part that is displaying beautiful women in different luxurious-looking apparels repeatedly, flaunting them.
"This is my store unit, lord players." Madame Juli slowed down in front of the chameleon glass wall. Then just a second later, the part adjusted to look like a black tinted glass—fifty meter in both height and length—starts parting like a sliding door from the middle to the sides, opening.
Hmm, not bad.
Skylar nodded after the door fully opened to reveal the awe-inspiring interior behind it. But Immediately, his eyes went to the left; one side just behind the now open entrance reveal, and caught sight of a tall and feminine faceless mannequin with breasts of historical-record size that is dressed in a plain granny dress made of tweed fabric, displaying it.
Who the hell made this?... Skylar left commisure starts to twitch involuntarily; gobsmacked, he was overwhelmed by the mannequin's proportion that seemed ridiculous yet totally natural.
["Big bro, that's colossal. If it was real, it will rival matron Ila in size."]
Starboy transmitted voice reached Skylar while he is still stunned by the ridiculous size of the mannequin bust region that pitched the granny dress like a tent.
If I look at it, I can see the platform where we dropped off from here.
Like a sudden thought in his mind, Skylar turned around, facing the direction of the store tower front wall. With his superior sight, he looked through it and caught sight of one of the several parking platforms located on the wide open space at the middle region of the terminal—the terminal fayor square. But the one he caught was not the one the me-fayor that carried them landed on earlier, so he looked to his left a bit, and the one next to it in the same direction happened to be it.
I see. Its slightly to the left because we turned left two times before we reached here. And strangely this...
"Lord player, is there a problem?" Madame Juli interrupted his thought and observation with her words said in a tone full of concern. On her face for a fleeting moment was an expression of worry and anxiety.
"No, let's go inside." Skylar dismissed her concern. Then seeming not to take the matter seriously, she did as instructed and starts leading the two into the luxurious grand store that recently opened its doors for them.
As they walk past the earlier mannequin, and stepped a second foot into the luxurious grand store made completely of chameleon glass as seen from its interior; everything in it—the chameleon glass floor, walls and ceiling—suddenly lits up and start displaying various otherworldy glowing flowers pictures that respond to their every step on the floor, transitioning from different types to another, or from a single vibrant flower to many that makes a bouquet or a garden.
Inside the luxurious store that is two hundred meters wide and two hundred meters long; a hundred meter above them is an atrium balcony made entirely of chameleon glass that overhangs from the four walls of the store, and another hundred meter above it, is the chameleon glass ceiling of the store; making the floor-to-ceiling height, a total of two hundred meters.
Displayed in the store are numerous display chambers—a chameleon glass box enclosure, three meter by three meter at base and five meter in height—that holds luxuriously dressed up mannequins of different kinds. And the display chambers are arranged in s defined row and columns, therefore creating a grid-like aisle between them that provides easy passage within the store.
Eh! that guy.
Meanwhile, as madame Juli led the way towards one of the four cylindrical floating elevators—elevators without a column or hoist way, that sits at about forty five meter mark each from the four corners of the store; Skylar noticed a familiar creature within one of the colorful glowing shrub trees that grow from a spherical container made of opaque black glass, placed lining the sides of the store four walls.
"Lord players, where we are going is above here." The madame informed them as she tapped her hand on the elevator glass wall.
A second later, the elevator opened, and madame Juli entered with them following her inside, and the elevator chameleon glass door closed behind, after which the elevator starts rising upwards, towards a circular groove that also starts revealing itself on the floor of the atrium balcony above.
While the elevator got closer to the groove, Skylar couldn't help but realize, all the clothes display in the store are women's clothes after a quick scan, so he turned his focus to madame Julie, questioning her:
"Madame Juli, you only sell women clothes?"
Madame Juli turned to him. With a professional smile and a shake of the head, she answered, "Not really, lord player. We also sell unisex apparels like the mask we intend to sell to you..."
Oh! We...
Suprised, Skylar thought with a smile. He almost exclaimed aloud.
However before they can continue, the elevator that has risen through the groove and just above it, reaching the floor of the balcony atrium, paused and beeped, signifying the end of their ride in it.
