Face-Slapping System-Chapter 4 Face-Slapped
In the BluePink Planet, a Global Dollar has four types of currency.
A Global Penny, which was a silverish coin made of multiple metals layered together to form a single coin. A Global Penny has the whole planet or globe engraved at the center of each side of the coin, the globe signifies the unification of all currency in the world. And at the center of each globe was a '1GP' that stands for 1 Global Penny, depicting the value of the coin.
One hundred Global Pennies was equivalent to 1 Global Dollar which was a red colored banknote.
Just like the Global Penny, the 1 Global Dollar banknote also had the unification globe printed on each side of the banknote along with the encryptions that prevents forging. The text, '1 Global Dollar' was also imprinted in both sides of the note, however, instead of it being printed at the center of the globe, it was instead printed in the two corners in each side of the banknote: one in the upper left corner, and one in the lower right corner.
The third Global Dollar Bill was a violet banknote. It was a 100 Global Dollar Bill with the same design as that of a 1 Global Dollar Bill except for some changes on its text, which was '100' instead of '1'.
The next and last type was a 1000 Global Dollar banknote.
Unlike the other three, the 1000 Global Dollar has a luxurious design that seemingly depicts its value to the crowd.
It has light-blue color and has a premium looking design. The '1000 Global Dollar' was written in clear and golden text. The unification globe imprinted in the middle was very life-like and even has the effect of being a see-through film. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
What was even more reassuring about this banknote was that it has anti-crumple technology. No matter how many times one tried to fold it, it would always go back to its original and untouched appearance.
Aside from that, a 1000 Global Dollar has a high purchasing value. Basic workers treated it as family heirloom while some rich families would even avoid spending such a rare banknote.
Usually, a 1000 Global Dollar Bill in a man's wallet was equivalent to the man being wealthy.
At this moment, seeing Roland waving the light-blue 1000 Global Dollar Bill like it was just a normal piece of paper, forget about the sales lady, even Miss Stacey who has a high salary as a manager also had her mouth open in shock.
"What did you say again?" Roland asked again.
He does not know why but seeing the sales lady's reaction made him very happy.
The sales lady's face was turning red in shame and envy. Jealousy was present on her as she looked at the 1000 GD bill greedily.
At the same time, the system screen actually flashed before his eyes.
Ding!
[You have successfully face-slapped a person: +10 FS Points]
[You have successfully face-slapped a person with two bystanders watching: +10 FS Points]
With the forceful injection of information earlier, Roland already has some inkling about this matter. However, he decided to ignore it for now as he enjoyed the show in front of him.
"That… that must be fake. Yes, that's right, that's right. That must be a fake. Ha, forging money is a very serious offense. Now you're in serious trouble," the sales lady recovered from her shock.
Her face was red in shame, but she did not give up and immediately convinced herself that it was just a fake 1000 Global Dollar Bill.
In her mind, it was not just possible for a dirty guy like Roland to have such a huge bill on him.
Even though she herself only earns around 4.5 Global Dollars a day or an average of 130 Global Dollars per month if she works overtime. Minus her expenses and bills, she would only be left with 50 Global Dollars for the entire month.
Hence, she could not accept that Roland who was wearing dirty clothes has more Global Dollars than her.
And besides, 1000 Global Dollars was already a big amount. It was like just around her annual salary level.
"You… give me that if you don't want any trouble," As she said that with a red face, she actually tried to reach for the 1000 Global Dollar bill in Roland's hands.
Fortunately, the distance between the two of them was around a meter apart. He managed to dodge her shameless action just fine.
Hearing her reasons and slander, as well as seeing her shameless actions, Roland was left speechless.
However, before he could try to answer, Miss Stacey suddenly interjected after recovering from the shock that she felt.
"Enough! Haven't you embarrassed yourself already?" Miss Stacey glared at the sales lady who was now red in shame.
The sales lady's words were stuck in her throat again. However, seeing that Miss Stacey was already angry, she did not dare to utter any more words. Only now did she realize how shameless her actions were. Realizing that, her face became as red as a tomato in shame.
On the other hand, unlike the sales lady, Miss Stacey was not an ignorant woman. She knew that bills on the BluePink Planet could not be forged no matter what. She knew at first glance that the 1000 Global Dollar bill was a real deal.
"I'll deal with you later," she added before she turned her head towards Roland.
This time, she could not help but observe Roland more closely.
At first glance, she could immediately tell that Roland was very ordinary. The only thing that stood out from him was probably just his good looks.
Aside from his good-looking face, he has long and messy hair that almost dropped to his shoulders. His body was also scrawny and even had bad posture.
Her first impression of him? Very ordinary.
However, Miss Stacey did not dare to look down on this man. Although he looked like this, for him to be able to take out a 1000 Global Dollar bill means that he was not as ordinary as he seemed.
And a person who could take such a huge amount of money casually, the connection they had was naturally not small. Even though she had a considerable standing in the store, she was just a manager and thus could be fired with just a word from the powerful people after all.
She recalled a certain novel she read before where a scion of a rich family was undergoing training by pretending to be poor. She could not help but think that maybe the ordinary looking young man in front of her was also undergoing something like that. Miss Stacey could not help but feel excited upon thinking about such an exciting thing.
At the same time, the way she looked at Roland became even more respectful.
"I apologize on behalf of the bad behavior of our employee, dear customer. I hope that you'll be magnanimous and forgive us for this misunderstanding." She said humbly with a bow.
She then took a glance at the sales lady and the guard, and noticing her implying gaze, the two of them did not dare to act haughty anymore as they lowered their heads towards Roland.
Heck, even their manager had to bow her head in apology to Roland, how could they remain standing there in daze?
"Please forgive us for our rudeness," the two of them shouted at the same time.
The sales lady's voice was a little hesitant, however, afraid that she might get reprimanded by the manager, and worse might get fired, she truly did not dare to act like that anymore. She was just a regular employee after all.
As for the guard, his actions were more at ease. After all, he did not offend Roland directly and was just following the orders of the sales lady.
Seeing them bow their heads like that, Roland's excitement also gradually calmed down.
"Forget it. I'm not a petty person. Just assist me on these items. I want to leave this place already," he said with a wave of his hands.
Miss Stacey nodded her head. She then beckoned for the sales lady and the guard to help Roland carry the items he was carrying.
Roland did not refuse and allowed them to carry the things for him as they walked towards the nearest cashier.
In this interaction, Roland learned a valuable lesson. As long as you have the money, you can do anything.
Look at the haughty and confident sales lady earlier, after seeing the 1000 Global Dollar bill, didn't she become flustered? What was even more absurd was how shameless she acted in front of money.
In the end, she could only lower her head while asking for an apology.
However, had he not had any money, he was sure that the end result would be different.
This also made Roland realize that money was like a double-edged sword.
You can cut others with it, but others would also try to cut you for it.
He promised to himself that he should be careful in dealing with the remaining money in his bank account.
At the same time, while walking towards the nearest cashier, Roland ignored the presence of the trio as he secretly summoned the system screen to appear in front of his eyes.
"System, show me the points earned earlier."
