Chapter 106: Candy Store.
An abandoned city truly was a treasure trove waiting to be opened. The knowledge that most items didn’t have much worth in the Higher Realms had brought Mark’s mood down for a while, but that went away the instant he entered another shop on his "to loot" list.
Candy stores hadn’t existed for a long time now, but as he stepped through the hole his maid cut through the shutters of an abandoned Game Start branch, Mark had the confidence to say that he understood how a kid feels while being inside one.
Stacks of common goods lined the shelves near the entrance, among them the most common brands of keyboards, mice, and headphones. Further inside where the display models of the computer cases. Some were the usual rectangular-shaped towers while others had the most bizarre designs, forgoing the idea of traditional computers.
Monitors with different sizes and resolutions, motherboards in colorful boxes, graphic cards of different specifications, processors, rams, and power supplies. It was all there.
"This is what I’m talking about..."
The end of the world means that the supply of computer components will soon be cut. The Overworld was sure to have a different level of technology, and there is always the chance that there are worlds out there that developed similar or identical technologies. Nevertheless, Mark wasn’t about to take chances.
He planned his path in a matter of seconds and went on the move. The items displayed near the entrance didn’t interest him, seeing as they were the cheapest and thus of the lowest quality.
He stopped at the rows of graphic cards, looked through them, then grabbed only the best available. His budget was unlimited so there was no need to settle for the weak stuff.
He did the same for processors, rams, motherboards, and cooling systems.
