Ning went into a shop that sold clothing accessories. There were a few people that were also shopping there, but surprisingly, there were no shopkeepers.
Actually, when Ning did look around, there were no clothes either. Instead, everyone was simply standing in front of a mirror, looking at themselves, and the clothes were being overlaid on their image to show what they looked like.
Ning approached one of the empty mirrors and stood in front of it. Suddenly, a blue light was fired off from behind the mirror.
Ning's perception suddenly sped up to see if he was in so sort of danger. However, when he realized it was just scanning him, his perception returned to normal speed and he continued on.
"Welco, Rattrap Barnacles," the program inside the mirror spoke. Ning panicked a little, thinking people had heard his horrible na, but sighed in relief when he realized he was the only one who could hear it.
"What would you like to look for?" the program asked as various different categories appeared.
Shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, shorts, and various other categories were shown, and Ning looked at the T-shirt section first.
Nurous T-shirts of nurous designs were shown on the mirror and one by one they started appearing on Ning himself.
His torn clothes changed to new, fantastic-looking ones as Ning checked himself out in the mirror.
The white shirt with a cool triangular design at the center was quite amazing to look at. However, it was way too white for him.
"Next," he said and the shirt shifted.
This ti he was in a red t-shirt that was quite plain by design but looked not bad.
"No, too much red," Saphandra said from the side. "You look good in blue. Get that one."
Ning pointed to the T-shirt he was about to pick and it changed itself. "Woah, this technology is quite amazing," he said.
"Is it?" Saphandra asked. "I thought the ship that flew through the galaxy would be sothing you call amazing, not this."
"Well, I an… yeah," he said. There was no retort to that.
The shirts filtered through and he ended up on a blue shirt that was of a lighter shade with a design in the center, the reference of which he could not understand.
He then moved on to so pants and bought one of them too. After buying a pair of shoes, Ning stopped.
"Wait, how do I pay?" Ning looked around the place. "Is that electronic too?"
"Are you only going to buy 1 of each? What if they tear up?" Saphandra asked.
"Well, I'll just ask the system to fix it or make a new one," Ning said. "Did you forget that I ca here only to see how it all worked in this place?"
"Ah right," she said. "Well, you should pay so we can leave. Speaking of which, how do you pay?"
Ning was about to ask the system when the program itself spoke on its own. "Would you like to buy these items?" it asked.
"Yes," Ning said.
"Voice signature, verified. 920 Credits have been used from your account. Your items have been successfully bought and are being brought out. Thank you for using our store."
"Oh, poor old Rattrap had so money with him it seems. Credits huh? I wonder how many credits I have in total," Ning said.
"Huh?" Ning was surprised when he heard that. "Are you saying I just bought sothing that was half of the young man's savings?"
