The location of the gym was not that far away from where Sean wanted to buy the coffee shop. Of course, the condition of the gym was not high end, considering its location.
Winston stepped into the gym, he found that only basic equipment were available. Something like a treadmill, several ways, and a few other essentials of a gym. But of course, advanced equipment was not available.
Additionally, from the looks of it, the equipment was a little old, but they were in a good condition.
Considering the time, there was only a few people inside the gym, together with two instructors of the gym.
The moment that he walked in, one of the instructors approached him. He was a burly guy with a bald head, wearing a vest.
"Hey kid, do you have a membership card or is this your first time here?" The guy asked in a rough voice.
"This is my first time here." Sean responded.
"Oh, if that is the case, then you are welcome. Still, I would like to inquire, are you here just for today, or are you planning on coming here occasionally? If it's just a one-day thing, or you cannot be consistent, you can just make payment for today's session. But if you want to come here consistently, you can take a membership subscription, which is cheaper." The bulky guy introduced.
"I'm not really sure if I'm going to be consistent, but I would like to try things out first. By the end of the session that should last about 30 minutes, I will be able to know if I will be able to come back or not.
The bulky Instructor could not help but frown upon hearing those words. He asked, "Kid, are you implying that you want to see if our gym is good or not? This gym only welcomes those that want to train, not those that are here to cause trouble. If you are not here to exercise, then it's better you leave."
Sean could see a frown on his face, indicating that he was obviously displeased. But what could Sean do? He had yet to decide whether he was going to stay or not.
Instead of responding to what the bulky instructor had said, Sean asked another question, "Do you have anywhere that I can refresh after I'm done with the exercise?"
Despite the frown that was still on his face, the instructor still responded, "While our gym is not that I end, of course it doesn't lack somewhere that you can clean up after some exercise."
"Then that's good." Sean responded, before turning around and leaving the gym. When the instructor saw that, he could not help but frown.
"Hey kid, if you were not serious about what you were doing, then don't come back here again. Otherwise, the next time that I see you, I will definitely take action against you." The instructor had black lines on his face, indicating just how angry he was.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Sean stopped and explained, "I'm going to buy a new pair of clothes, as I will need to change into a new pair of clothes after the exercise, won't I?"
The Instructor's expression is slightly, before he nodded. Then he said, "Just hurry up and come back after this. If not, and you end up disappearing, then the next time that I see you, I will definitely deal with you."
Sean did not doubt the threats given by this instructor. Considering the security problem within the city, this guy can take action against him, and it would be difficult for the police to deal with him.
It was not just about lack of evidence proving that it was this guy who had taken action, as long as the police don't arrive when he was in action, but the police was also corrupted.
As long as this guy had enough money, it would not be impossible for the police to change the case, making him the perpetrator instead of the victim.
Sean simply nodded, not intending to get involved with this instructor after this. He just wanted to try out the idea that he was having first. If it worked, or would he need to come back here? He would just go and look for a high end gym, so that he could workout there.
This area had quite a few businesses, and a boutique was located not far away from where he was. In just a few minutes, he arrived in one of the boutiques, and stepped in.
Boutique was a place that would never lack people, no matter the time. So, when he entered into the boutique, he realized that there was quite a number of people within the boutique already.
But Sean stood out completely, due to the way that he was dressed. A boutique like this, even though it was located in a not so popular area within the city, about it was definitely somewhere that high class people would visit.
This street was way better as compared to where he lived, and so, the condition of the people here was way better as well. From the way that they were dressed, one could easily tell that they had quite substantial wealth.
As he entered into the boutique, he immediately attracted the attention of several people. A few looked at him with frowns on their faces, while others sneered at him.
"Why is this pauper here? Hey, don't you know where they sell second hand clothes? Or you can go to the street stores that sell clothes, this is not where you should casually visit. Who knows, you might end up destroying the clothes here."
"That's right. If you end up ruining any of the clothes here, you might not be able to pay for the clothes, even if you use everything that you have."
"Kid, you better leave. Don't end up in trouble because of something like this."
Several people spoke up, one after the other. Others simply did not like Sean's presence within the shop, while others seemed to have some kind of goodwill, advising him to leave.
Sean simply ignored them, then looked towards the sales ladies. But even after he had stood there for quite a while, none of them seemed to be bothered to attend to him.
Sean simply shook his head, not intending to stay here anymore. He turned around, left the boutique, and went to another one that was located not far from this one.
As he left, he heard several people making sarcastic comments, but he did not bother to respond to them. In any case, it was not as if those comments would affect him. He would just ignore them, as long as they did not affect his life.
Sean had already anticipated such an attitude from different people, considering that not every shop that he went to would have people that had etiquette.
As he entered into another store, this time, at least a sales lady came to attend to him. But even then, from the expression on her face, Sean could easily tell that she was not particularly fond of attending to him.
Regardless, he did not bother, asking her for a set of clothes. Of course, he asked for official clothing, a shirt and a pair of trousers.
He did not need anything expensive, and the sales lady gave him a pair that was quite cheap, maybe the cheapest within the store? But since this was a boutique, even though the clothes that he was given were the cheapest, they were much better as compared to the ones that he was currently wearing.
In the end, he paid $70 for the clothes, and they were packed for him.
[You have spent $70 on clothes. Investment detected. Rebate activated. You have received $700. Additional reward, Toyota Camry Hybrid.]
[The car will be delivered within the next hour.]
With two consecutive prompts from the system, Sean was stunned. He had not anticipated that even buying clothes was actually going to lead to a rebate from the system.
Additionally, he had also received an additional reward, but this time, it was totally different. Previously, he had received skills that were related to where he had spent the money.
But this time, he had received an item, and it was completely not related to the clothes that he had purchased.
Even though he was not sure, it seemed that the additional rewards that he was receiving were random period but he would need to try that again, in order to be sure.
As for that car, Toyota Camry hybrid, he was not sure about the details of that car, but he was sure that it was not cheap. After all, it was a hybrid, right?
Regardless, Sean was excited. With an additional reward, it seemed that he had actually saved himself a means of transportation. It was just that, it seemed that he would not be able to earn from the taxi fare again?
To verify that, he would have to try it out first, and see if, even if he had a car, he could use a taxi and receive a rebate from the system.
In a good mood, Sean stepped out of the boutique, before heading straight to the gym. Now, he was anticipating, was there going to be a return from the system after he made the payment after using the gym, and if there was going to be an additional reward.
If there was any that he was going to receive, he would be excited, as that would increase the areas that he could spend money, and receive something in return.
