BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27 Mall
With the sun high up in the sky, burning with heat as usual, the temperature today is very hot.
Sweat seems to evaporate just as it comes out of your pores.
At the entrance of SM Mall.
The siblings, Nathan and Natalie just got inside the mall.
Both were covered in sweat because of the hot weather.
"Ahh~ it\'s so hot."
Fanning herself with her hand, Natalie complained at the side, looking drained.
"Hais~ I didn\'t expect that it would be so hot today." Said Nathan.
The two went out to buy some furniture for the new house since that place is still very empty like a hollow body… eh, maybe not.
But the weather is unexpectedly scorching.
Feeling dry on her throat, Natalie wants to buy something to drink, she looks at Nathan but hesitated to ask.
Nathan noticed her small movements.
Just a look at her and he understood what she wanted.
Looking around, he saw a milk tea shop,
"Tal, let\'s go buy something to drink!"
Calling her, Nathan already walked towards the milktea shop.
"Ah! Brother, wait!"
Hurriedly, she followed Nathan inside the store.
Inside the store, there\'s a lot of people queuing.
The store seems very popular, so it took quite a while before their turn to order.
"Hello, what would be your order?"
Nathan turns to Natalie, "What would you like?"
Fidgeting, Natalie looks at the menu then whispers to Nathan.
"Uhm… brother, I don\'t know what to order."
"Eh? Just pick anything."
"But…"
Scratching his head, Nathan doesn\'t know what to do.
It\'s his first time ordering milk tea so he also doesn\'t know what to order.
Looking at the staff, Nathan said,
"Uhm… it\'s our first time buying milk tea so we don\'t know what to take. Can you recommend something to us?"
"Oh, is that so, sir? Then would you like to try…"
The staff recommended some of the most popular in their store, then the siblings picked the same flavor.
…
"Please come again next time!"
With milktea on their hands, and the voice of the staff behind them, the two left the store while sipping on their drinks.
"Mmm! This is good!" Exclaimed Natalie.
"Yeah, it\'s really good!"
Nathan seconded, looking thoughtfully at the milktea.
\'Will I be able to finish the mission by making a milk tea shop?\'
Shaking his head, Nathan stopped those thoughts.
In his opinion, he doesn\'t have the capability to handle business right now.
Another thing is that he doesn\'t know how to make milk tea.
After getting rid of those thoughts, Nathan looks at Natalie,
"Tal,"
"Hmmm?" Natalie tilted her head while drinking.
"Next time, you don\'t have to worry about anything, okay? If you like something, just tell me, don\'t hesitate. We have money now."
He gently smiled at her.
Earlier, he noticed that Natalie seemed very thirsty from the movements of her throat.
But she hesitated to ask him to buy something since in the past they needed to be thrifty as much as possible. That\'s why expenses like that are avoided every time.
Now, their situation is different. But it seems like she still hasn\'t adapted yet.
Hearing that, Natalie paused, then she nodded her head.
Seeing her nod, Nathan was satisfied, "That\'s good."
"So, is there anything else that you\'d like to buy?"
Natalie looked around for a while before locking her eyes on a pizza shop.
Her eyes lit up, drool seems to start coming out of her mouth.
Seeing that reaction, Nathan laughed, "You want some pizza?"
Natalie nodded immediately.
"Then let\'s go!"
Nathan plans to spoil Natalie as much as he can.
This girl who suffered hardship as much as him. She was too young back then. Now she should enjoy as much as she wants… with limitations, of course.
Sitting inside the pizza shop, they wait for their pepperoni pizza to arrive.
While waiting, Nathan opened the system.

Level: LV 5
Profit per Tap: 5 PHP (Philippine Peso)
Experience: 45,500 / 100,000
Mission: 1 Mission
Shop: Open
Gold Points: 0]
Looking at the experience points, Nathan saw that it went up a little.
From ordering Jollibee yesterday to the milktea and pizza that he just paid for, everything is counted on the experience points.
Last time he got more than two hundred thousand experience by paying a small amount for the house as a downpayment.
\'Hmm… If I pay the full amount for the house I will have less than 6 million experience points, which is around… almost 60 gold points.\'
When he thought of that, Nathan couldn\'t help but dream of it a little.
"Here\'s your pizza, enjoy!"
Nathan\'s dream bubble pop when he heard the voice of the staff.
Shaking his head, he immediately smelled the mouth watering smell of the pizza.
*Sniff*
"Hmm… this smell is making me hungry!" muttered Nathan,
Then he saw Natalie already had a piece on her hand and bit it.
A look of full enjoyment surfaced on her face from the first bite before she went back to munching those pizza slices.
Nathan also took a slice and bit into it.
His eyes lit up!
It\'s really been years since the last time he and Natalie ate pizza.
It was still when their parents were alive.
That is more than 3 years ago now!
That\'s why, tasting pizza now feels foreign to him. It\'s like he\'s been reunited with his long lost friend!
The two did not care about anything anymore and just went on and on with the pizza, eating it to the last slice.
Relaxing on their seats, they both have a satisfied smile on their face.
"I don\'t remember pizza tasting this good." Said Nathan,
Natalie agreed with that, just from the look on her face, it\'s very obvious.
Just as the two are taking their time, a group of 3 teenage girls enter the pizza shop, laughing and giggling.
"Have you guys seen the dress from Nita?"
"Yes! You also saw it?"
"I did, isn\'t it pretty!"
...
Their voice is not really that low, which caught the people\'s attention.
Natalie is also one of those people.
But when she saw those girls, Natalie seemed surprised.
