Chapter 32: Preparations (Part 2)

A few minutes later.

"Hey, what is this?"

Ryuto shouted as he looked at his clothes. Although Ryuto had very little experience in that area, he could tell that something was off about what he was wearing. In the mirror, Ryuto saw that he was dressed as... no, it couldn't even be considered clothes. It was simply a doll costume, to be more precise, a frog doll costume.

Ignoring Ryuto's outcry, the shopkeeper started speaking incessantly.

"Yes, you guessed it right. This is the newest mascot costume in the amusement park, the Gua Dai Battle Suit. Wearing this will significantly increase your basic attributes, and not only that, it also has the ability to resist all abnormalities and revive on the spot. It can be said to be the ultimate armor of legends."

"...,"

The shopkeeper approached Ryuto with two items, urging him with an idiotic expression.

"Take, take... also take this legendary weapon, the Gua Dai Electric Shock Gun. This electric shock gun can ignore the defense of the opponent and give them devastating damage. Lastly, with these Gua Dai God Boots that can enhance your speed to the limit, the Qianyang Amusement Park, no, the world's strongest mascot is about to be born. And I will witness this historical moment. Come on, let's shout together the name of that legendary figure, the Gua Dai War God..."

"What the hell is Gua Dai War God?"

Ryuto couldn't bear it anymore. Despite being hindered by the cumbersome doll costume, he still swung his fist and punched the shopkeeper to the ground.

"Ugh..."

Although the shopkeeper groaned in pain, Ryuto simply ignored him. After a while, he got tired of fighting.

"Huff... huff..."

Ryuto stopped.

"Change me back quickly."

"It's such a pity that you've become the Gua Dai War God. It suits you so well."

"Do you want to get punched again?"

Ryuto raised his fist again, although he seemed extremely unwilling, the shopkeeper still obeyed.

After a few more minutes, Ryuto shouted again.

"What is this now?"

This time, the costume was even more cumbersome than before.

"This guest probably doesn't know, but this is the protagonist Caesar the Great from the latest game in our arcade. Caesar the Great has 72 transformations, each one significantly enhancing his combat prowess. He is hailed as the strongest force in the universe."

The shopkeeper continued to introduce the costume with enthusiasm.

"..."

"Don't be afraid. Put on this helmet and shout 'change' to activate the ultimate transformation. After that, you will be the strongest... um..."

Before he could finish, Ryuto once again knocked the shopkeeper to the ground, followed by another round of beating.

Damn it, transformation again? If there really was something as convenient as that, I would have transformed long ago. Moreover, that crippled Saiyan didn't have so many transformations.

"I got it. I promise it'll work next time, believe me."

The shopkeeper pleaded.

No, this guy has lost his credibility a long time ago. I can't trust him.

"You have to believe me. It will definitely work next time. I swear on my life."

The shopkeeper begged again. Although Ryuto didn't believe him much, he didn't have much time to spare, so he reluctantly agreed for now. But he made up his mind that if there were any problems next time, he wouldn't spare him and would send him off right away.

A few minutes later, Ryuto shouted again. But this time, he didn't hit the shopkeeper because he couldn't find a reason to. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to wear, there was nothing wrong with it, meeting Ryuto's requirements.

At this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly said, "The other side is almost done, right?"

"Huh?"

"Since it took more time over there, we tried different costumes here first."

"So, that's why you caused so much trouble?"

Ryuto seemed to understand, but in the next moment, he realized he was wrong.

The shopkeeper, with his eyes closed, said meaningfully, "But those two costumes were just as I imagined, they fit perfectly."

"After all, is this the main reason we've been going through so much trouble!"

"Well..."

And so, in the cramped room, the sounds of beating and screaming once again echoed.
