Arthur sat under a tree after a long walk, or more like a jog because he wanted to get away from that side of the city as soon as possible. And he also never wanted to meet that woman ever again. She has become part of his teenage dark history even though he is an adult now!
The embarrassment is too real! He simply cannot comprehend how others Simp like that. They make it look so easy! Like they have no spine or pride!
The more Arthur thought about it, the more heated his face got from embarrassment. The stuff he said was among the cringest stuff he had ever heard and said.
"Your smile is worth more than all the money in the world." "I could stare at your face forever.""I’ll gladly spend everything I have on you." These are some examples of the social abomination he committed which are least damaging to any normal male psyche.
Arthur tried to forget these but his brain betrayed him and kept playing scenes where someone heard him who also understood Spanish and were heavily judging him. Sharing with their friends. At worst, the woman herself understood what Arthur said but was too nice to say anything.
"AAAHHHH FAAAAHHHHHK."
Arthur tousled his hair in frustration. He wanted to do nothing more than to forget everything and go one with his life.
"Fuck. Sigh."
Arthur sighed and tried to distract him by trying to think of a way to spend on women where he would not have to embarrass himself anymore.
Even that didn’t help. He just gazed at his surroundings. He was at a park. The West park near the educational sector.
Basically, there are lots of schools around here. So that is why it was called that. He leaned against the tree. Watching children play without a care in the world. Seeing the happiness, something inside of him calmed down and he could think clearly again.
He knew the system was more or less real. But the real problem is he himself.
’I will probably die of embarrassment before I get to be rich. And even if I do manage to become some spineless bastard, that would not be me... I need to think of another way. This can’t go on...’
Arthur sat in there, lost in thought, slowly losing his sense of time. He snapped out of it when his stomach suddenly churned violently. Reminding him that he hasn’t eaten anything since morning.
Arthur Sigh and go up. He walked towards a nearby cafe where good food is sold. An hour and a half has passed and the park is almost empty because the children have gone back to their school.
Even after thinking for a while, Arthur could not find a definitive way to not embarrass himself. The thing is, he could just walk up to some women and give them the money, but with his pitiful amount of money, they might as well think he is taking them for a bigger or a prostitute.
One of the reasons he simply can’t just walk up to anyone and give money. Simply because they have no reason to expect.
He could also donate to streamers online, but that is also not possible because he for sure can tell that most of them, if all of them use beauty products to increase their beauty.
Arthur had asked what constitutes beauty to the system. Its answer was simple: they were born without artificial enhancement.
And since Arthur saw a woman with a beauty rating of 90, he is even more sure that online streamers won’t cut it.
The only way he could think of is that he finds someone with a beauty score of 90 or above, and their financial situation is rough. There, he could ask them to sponsor them.
But finding someone like that is highly unlikely because beautiful women marry rich people. So naturally their children would never have any problem regarding money.
The only way is expensive shit which he does not have money for. Right now, his situation demands that he simply tries hard to get the most benefits. Simply because he cannot waste a chance of meeting a woman with beauty over 90.
He could only hope in the future that he would not have to after becoming rich enough.
But a root that is already rotten, will the tree truly be strong?
Arthur highly doubts it. If he truly goes that route, he will be known as a Simp who sucked up to women despite being so rich.
"Haaa... Well, I don’t need to get rich tomorrow or anything. Since there is a cashback system by my side, things should work out in the long run... I hope so."
Arthur could not help but murmur to himself. He was feeling headache from all the hateful possibilities of his situation. He really was questioning whether he had to be so prideful about matters like this? He could just throw away every ounce of pride and become rich overnight. But he simply could not.
And he was starting to hate it. He felt like he was stuck in a rock and hard place. He could not move forward because of himself, he could not go back because his back was already hitting the wall.
Arthur was lost in thought when he arrived at the cafe. There were a lot of people here, especially males. A lot of them. Many looked like they just came out of their cave a.k.a room for the first time in years. Arthur found it weird but he was too hungry to think further. Every table was booked. People lined up to enter and grab a seat. But the counter itself was relatively empty because most people were sitting on the tables.
Arthur walked over to the counter when the crowd cleared and immediately understood why there were so many people. Behind the counter, She stood behind the polished espresso machine, a crisp navy cap pulled low over her brow. Cascading from the back of the cap was a thick ponytail of spun-amber blonde, catching the warm ambient glow of the café like liquid honey thread.
Her eyes were a striking pair of gilded Hazel, luminous as molten topazes set behind dark lashes, gleaming with an inviting clarity against her smooth skin. She had a professional smile plastered over her face.
Arthur’s eyes momentarily went wide. She was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. What shocked him even more was her beauty score.
