SSS Awakening: I Can Steal Attributes-Chapter 51: Famous

It was obvious that it was not Desther’s first time coming to this restaurant.

The waiter was a middle-aged auntie with black hair. When Desther arrived in the room provided by the government and first came here in the restaurant, the auntie was already here serving the customers.

Her name was Macey, but Desther prepared to call her auntie out of habit.

Macey was friendly and accommodating. Perhaps because he reminds her of her late child that passed on the first day of the apocalypse, she especially takes care of Desther every time he comes here to dine.

"Yes, Auntie. Give me the usual, but can you increase the servings to six? I am a little too famished today," Desther replied with a smile. As for her initial remark, Desther ignored it, as he knew that she was just being nice.

"Six? Oh my, can you handle that much? You have awakened recently, right? Eating more is good. That way, you’ll grow healthy and strong. Alright, wait up for a bit; I’ll bring you your meal in a jiffy."

"Thanks, Auntie," Desther replied as he sat on the chair to wait.

Macey was good and kind to Desther.

Macey was already alone since her whole family had died during the apocalypse, much like Desther.

Although Desther does not talk much, his ability to gather information was not mediocre.

From bits and pieces of information he heard, he also knew that Macay was already approaching 40 years old.

She had also awakened years ago, but due to her talent being weak for combat and for lifestyle professions, she ended up working an ordinary job like a waiter instead.

In fact, most awakened humans were like this.

Only a portion of the overall population was truly suited to become combat professionals and lifestyle professionals. Some remained as ordinary citizens, living ordinary lives.

After all, not all were courageous enough to face the ferocious monsters, and not all were crafty enough to have their own lifestyle expertise.

Beyond the danger of the world fraught with monsters and slaughter was also a peaceful coexistence of various humans unwillingly swept through the chaotic tides of time.

An apocalypse was truly not something anyone wished for.

While waiting for his food, Desther decides to use his phone and read a few novel Chapters.

However, before he could do it, a notification suddenly popped up at the top of his phone screen.

The notification came from his social media application called Professional Tube.

This was where most of the online traffic was directed nowadays because previous popular social media platforms ceased to exist after the apocalypse.

According to what he knew, the headquarters of those giant social media platforms was destroyed during the initial onslaught of the apocalypse.

There were said to be efforts to restore them, but they ultimately failed, not only due to high cost but also due to risk.

Now, only one social media app or platform circulates on the internet called Professional Tube.

It also has online messaging where everyone can communicate as long as they have the internet.

Forums also exist on the platform, separated only by one tab from the feed.

The notification he got made him curious.

The Professional Tube does not require you to have your name fully plastered on the internet. Most of the time, users use unique usernames to identify themselves.

For Desther, he had never given his username to anyone else.

His account was quite boring and lame. He does not follow anyone, and no one follows him either.

Just like his daily life, he mostly stayed silent on the internet too.

Swiping down the notification bar of his phone, Desther read the notification in detail.

[@CoraEixel began following you! Follow back?]

’Who is this?’

This was the first time he saw this username. He has visited a lot of groups and saw a lot of posts but never saw anyone with such a username before.

Curious as to who followed his boring account, Desther clicked on the notification.

He did not click the follow-back button yet. Instead, he clicked the username @CoraEixel before he was redirected to their profile page.

After a few seconds, the page was fully loaded.

The first thing he noticed was the number of followers this person has.

This person actually has over ten thousand followers on their profile and now only follows 2 accounts, one of which should be him.

Now, his curiosity reached an even higher peak. At the same time, a foreboding sensation filled him to the brim, as if he felt that something bad would happen any moment now.

Desther’s attention was then captured by the person’s profile picture.

It was a picture of a girl wearing sunglasses leaning in a chair leisurely. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, slightly covering her upper chest, leaving only a little cleavage exposed.

She seemed to be wearing a two-piece swimsuit, but the picture was only a shot of her upper body. Her brown bra accentuated her chest, while down below, even not full, one would still be able to see the alluring curves.

A little bit of abdominal muscles was also outlined below her chest.

Even though he liked to pretend he didn’t feel anything, Desther could still not deny the fact that he was stirred the moment he saw the picture.

She looked pretty and sexy, at least to his standard.

Shaking the distracting thoughts, Desther focused on what was truly important.

To know who this person really was and if he recognizes them in real life.

The picture was a little small from the standard page, though, so he could clearly see who it really was. The sunglasses she was wearing also helped conceal her real face.

Without hesitation, Desther clicked on the picture to enlarge it so that he could clearly see it up close... just for research purposes.

The moment he did so, a vague familiarity immediately engulfed his mind.

When he took a closer look and tried to discern the face behind the sunglasses, Desther immediately realized who it really was.
