Face-Slapping System

Looking at the neon lights flashing on the phone's brand, Roland could not help but grin in anticipation.

This time, he was not excited about the new phone that he was about to buy, instead, he was excited about the next face-slap event.

Unbeknownst to Roland, he was already hoping to get embarrassed in public so that he could perform a face-slap.

Unfortunately, Roland was bound to get disappointed this time.

The moment they entered the store, the store's employee immediately greeted them with a professional smile as she started introducing the products to the two of them.

Roland felt strange.

'Why is this store so… polite?'

Why can't you be like the watch store? Now, I can't perform any face-slaps here.

Roland could only cry in silence as the female employee who introduced herself as Nora, led them to the nearest display cabinet all the while mentioning the product's details to Roland and Stacey.

"What kind of phone specification do you prefer?" Stacey asked.

She led Roland here not knowing what he really wanted. However, this was the best phone brand available in the market right now so she thought it would be alright to let Roland shop here.

Roland suppressed his disappointment as he thought.

"What's the latest model?" He asked.

Roland's phone that he left in the rental apartment was one of the oldest kinds of phone. It only has 2G internet. Its specifications were even more ordinary and it was very laggy even just opening a low requirement application.

In truth, Roland actually doesn't play with his phone very much. He only used it to text or chat with Anna so there was no reason to buy a new one when it was still working fine.

Well, part of the reason why he did not buy a new one was because he was dirt poor.

"If you're talking about the latest model released in the market, then it should be AY-phone 18. It has lots of good features," Stacey thought for a moment and introduced him to a whole new world.

At the middle of the product introduction, Nora substituted Stacey and described all the details of the latest Ay-phone 18 even further.

Hearing all the specifications made Roland dumbfounded.

'Are you really talking about a phone right now and not a computer? Isn't its specifications a little exaggerated?'

'32GB RAM? 1TB ROM? What the hell is going on?'

What's more mind blogging was that the 1 terabyte of ROM was only the beginning. If he wanted to, he could even buy the one with 2, 4, 6, 8 and even the 12TB ROM version of the phone.

Roland was thinking, what kind of files does one store in their phone to need that kind of ROM?

His previous phone only had 2GB of ROM, and even then, there was actually still a lot of space remaining for him to use… like around 400MB left.

However, what amazed Roland the most was that the Ay-Phone 18 has a very large screen. Estimating its size, he thought that it should be double that of his previous phone. The Ay-Phone 18 was also very thin, but very durable according to Nora.

At this time, Roland has already been captivated by the Ay-Phone 18's specifications. He has the money so he did not hesitate any more as he decided to buy this one.

Regarding the price, it was exactly 1599 GD's. However, Roland did not feel anything after paying it as he thought that it was worth it. And with his recent change of mentality, he no longer felt the need to be stingy with himself, especially when the money came from the System.

After paying the Ay-phone 18 using the black atm card, Stacey and Roland came out of the store.

As Roland could not wait anymore, he decided to take it out from its box to use it for the first time.

The Ay-phone 18 was very light and smooth to the touch. Roland even thought that he was holding a soft cotton instead of a hard phone. He chose the black chromic color as he felt that it was the one with the most 'premium' look out of the bunch that was displayed in the glass cabinet.

Upon using the phone, Stacey and Roland immediately tested its camera and to his delight, it truly did not disappoint. His picture was of a very high quality that he thought he was looking at himself in person.

As he was still camera-shy, it was Stacey who snapped a lot of pictures of himself, as well as a selfie with the both of them. It was only after snapping dozens of pictures that Stacey and Roland were satisfied.

At the latter part of the picture taking session, Roland's confidence on facing the camera was boosted quite a lot due to Stacey's encouragement.

After they were done with the picture taking session, Stacey recommended that he should also buy a new sim card with a plan installed on it so that he wont have any problem regarding his internet.

Roland already has a sim card at home but after thinking that it only has a few contacts with Anna being the most important one, he decided to buy a new one and start anew once and for all.

After browsing for a while, Roland finally settled at a 25 Global Dollar monthly plan. It includes an unlimited internet and unlimited text and calls for all networks. The sim card he bought can also access 5G internet, which was the latest generation of internet at his moment.

About the speed, the seller said that it depends on the location but the minimum speed should be around 5Mb per second which was already fast enough in Roland's opinion. Well, everything above 1Mb per second was already fast enough for Roland considering that he only had access to 2G internet previously.

After inserting the sim, Stacey conveniently added her contact in the phone and even texted herself, to 'test' if the plan was really working.

After that, Roland and Stacey strolled around the mall, buying everything that he fancied.

Stacey recommended a lot of items including new kinds of clothes for him to wear. She helped him choose a lot of items that best suit him.

After a few hours, Roland was already full of smiles while eating ice cream that Stacey treated him to.

During these few hours, he interacted with Stacey quite a lot. He thought that although Stacey had not bought any item aside from the ice cream he was currently eating, her mastery over those she recommended was top-notch. It was like she knew all of them beforehand or that she had specially studied them since birth.

At this time, he could not help but observe Stacey earnestly.
