Chapter 169: 169: Shopping

"Oh, 25,000 dollars? Not bad. So, I wasn't alone case like my friends said." Hannah's reaction was nowhere near what Alex would've expected it to be. She seemed to be completely fine with the idea of someone making 25,000 dollars a month after playing a game. 

This made him curious. So much so that he couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, you said you earned money. How much do you earn?" he asked.

"Umm… I don't know. A couple of hundred thousand dollars. But that is just cause I am much higher in cultivation than you. So, if you reach my realm, you will make the same amount as well." Hannah seemed to be completely unphased by what she had just said. Yet, those words were like bombs to Alex. 

'Hundreds of thousands of dollars? Do people make that? How does a company like Deva Corp even survive after giving that much money away to just a single player?' Alex couldn't understand.

"What exactly do you do to earn so much money, sister?" he asked. Hannah seemed to be waiting for this question because when she was asked, she started giggling like a little child. 

"Hehehe. I don't do anything actually. The money just comes flooding in." Hannah was still giggling. 

Alex didn't know what to say. 'Money comes in without doing anything?'. He was surprised to hear that. "How exactly does that work, Sister?" he asked.

"Don't tell anyone the secret okay?" she said while moving in close to whisper, " I got married." 

"What?" Alex instinctively shouted. 

"Keep your voice down," she said while making sure so one heard her. 

Alex hurriedly quieted down. "What do you mean you got married? To whom? Do Uncle and Aunt know?" he asked. 

"In the game, Silly. The game. I got married to someone in the game," Hannah clarified.

"Oh," Alex finally said in understanding. "Who did you marry?" he asked. 

"His name is Long Huan, he is really, really handsome, and he also turned out to be really rich," Hannah said. 

"Turned out to be?" Alex was confused. 

"Yeah, I didn't know at first. He just randomly started talking to me and before we knew it, we were together most of the time. Soon after that, he asked me to marry him, and since it wouldn't hurt trying once before doing the real thing here, I married him." 

Hannah had a little blush on her checks that she tried to desperately get rid of, but it never went away. 

"Do you like him, Sister?" he asked. 

"Yes, of course. He's so sweet. Also, I didn't randomly get married to somebody I didn't think was worthy, okay? It was mutual liking. Either way, let's not talk about this anymore. It's too embarrassing to think about."

Hannah started walking a little fast. "Ok, Ok Sister. Now, wait for me," Alex walked a little faster as well. Within 5 minutes, both of them came upon of rather large building. It was a store for different types of furniture. 

"Let's see. You will need a bed, some small furniture by the bed, a studying desk and a chair. Do you need a bookcase?" she turned to Alex who simply just shook his head. 

Hannah went ahead and chose what she would think would be nice. Alex didn't mind since she seemed to have experience doing this and was choosing some good-looking furniture and other things to go along with them. After selecting all of them, they went ahead to pay for it. 

Hannah decided to pay for it herself and was about to take out money, when Alex said, "What are you doing sister? I will pay for myself. Keep our money." 

"It's okay, I will do it. You just keep your money. Uncle and Aunt will need it." Hannah didn't back down and insisted on paying it herself. 

"No way sister. Don't worry about mom and dad, I will have some money coming my way tomorrow as well." They argued for a bit as to who would pay and in the end, Hannah reluctantly backed down letting Alex pay for it.

Learning that the furniture would be delivered to them later on, they decided to go buy the other stuff. In another store with big glass doors and windows, Alex saw a bunch of phones and laptops. 

"Let's go in," Hannah once again walked in first. They walked in and saw a large number of people inside the store, browsing through the different items in there. 

"Look around and see what you like." 

Alex decided to look at the smartphone section first. "Woah," he was surprised. "I didn't know phones could get this expensive." Most of the phones in there were between $800 to $1500. He who had a $150 phone, couldn't imagine using such an expensive phone. 

"Hmm… isn't that there a new model?" Hannah said as she pointed at one of the phones. 

"I don't know much about phones sister," Alex replied.

"I think it is. You should get that one. It's really good."

Alex decided to do so and chose that phone. He then moved on to laptops. When he saw the laptops, he was floored at the variety. Even a laptop with similar-looking names was completely different on the inside. 

"You know much about laptops? Cause I don't," Hannah said.

"A little. I can tell what's good from my Computer Science classes. However, I can't tell how good they are so we will just have to go off of the numbers they provide," Alex replied. 

They decided to ask the store clerk which laptop was better. The store clerk politely explained the features and differences of the different laptops. At the end of that, Alex chose one of the better ones and bought it. 

"Alright, now that we are done with phone and laptop, let's just buy the remaining item and get it over with." Hannah was starting to get a little hungry by this point. 

Finally, she took Alex deeper into the store, and only then did Alex see what he truly wanted. A VR helmet.
