Leo knew from his conversations with the old man that the cold outside was not at a level that would instantly kill a person.
After the old man finished arranging his belongings, Leo remembered that he would probably enter a few houses around the area and loot them.
Since only two customers had come so far, Leo was already starting to get bored. Because he was on a different planet, he could not even pass the time by reading novels on the internet.
And even if he had access to the internet, he remembered that web novels from parallel worlds were always focused on romance. Still, even reading a romance novel was better than sitting idly in the grocery store and waiting for the next customer.
"Hey little dragon, are there books in the system?"
[Millions of varieties of movies, series, books, manga, and anime are now available for purchase, sir. With the latest update, various entertainment products have been added to the product list.]
Leo entered the shop in surprise and began to investigate. First, he searched for the word movie, and an endless list of films whose names started with the letter A appeared in front of him.
Just by looking at the cover images, Leo could tell that most of the films were low quality productions.
With a mix of suspicion and expectation, he decided to randomly search for one of the movies from his previous life.
[Movie(Rush Hour 2): 8 system points]
"What!!! Are you serious?"
Leo immediately bought the movie, and a film cassette fell into his hand from the sky. When he asked the little dragon, he learned that he could receive the movie in different storage devices, but the price increased depending on the technological level of the storage device.
Without caring about that, Leo wanted to buy a CD player for himself, but the shop owner level was still not high enough to sell technology products at that level. In other words, there was no way to watch the movie.
If Leo hadn't used most of his brain to think about which films he could buy from the system, he would have remembered that there was a television in Mrs Saem's room upstairs.
After playing with the CD for a while, Leo tossed it aside. Then he decided to buy the first movie of the Bad Boys series and watch it together with little Hana.
After spending a bit more time to checking the endless list of the system shop out of boredom, another activity came to Leo's mind.
After buying himself a thick coat from the system shop, Leo opened the door of the grocery store and stepped outside.
The expected harsh wave of cold didn't appear. Leo felt as if he was exposed to nothing more than a mild autumn breeze.
In fact, because a player had arrived at the station, the temperature level of the entire station had changed.
After looking around for a while, Leo saw the old man in the distance trying to force open the door of a house by ramming it with his shoulder.
While watching the old man, Leo also walked over to him. Each time the old man slammed his shoulder into it, the door bent inward but did not break.
When the old man noticed Leo approaching, he looked at him in surprise.
Because Leo had been speaking from behind a curtain earlier, the only thing the old man had been able to see were Leo's hands. So the old man didn't realize that Leo was the same merchant from earlier.
The old man did not relax until Leo opened his mouth and greeted him.
Recognizing Leo's voice, the old man relaxed and returned the greeting with a smile.
"Judging by the fact that your hair is even whiter than mine, if I keep increasing my stats, will I end up looking young and white haired like you?"
Leo fell silent for a moment at the unexpected question.
"I can not give a clear answer to that. How about we stop asking questions for now and talk about more ordinary topics?
"Ha ha ha. Of course, an old man like me has plenty of stories to tell. As thanks for coming to keep me company instead of waiting over there, allow me to tell you a few stories from my youth."
Leo did not actually want to listen to an old man talking about his past and constantly giving him advice, but since he did not want the old man to ask him more questions about this world, he agreed to listen to the stories of the old man's past.
At the same time, Leo decided to do his part as a young man and help the old man with the heavy work. After all, he was not a real NPC.
Understanding Leo's intention, the old man stepped aside.
Leo tensed up and slammed his shoulder into the iron door with force, and a scene that surprised both of them occurred.
A cracking sound was heard from Leo's strike, but the thing that broke was not the door, it was Leo's shoulder.
Leo clenched his teeth and smiled at the old man, who was looking at him with suspicion.
"I did not expect you to have raised your stats this much at this stage."
"I didn't expect you to be this weak too."
"Haha, I would not say I am weak. Let's just say I focused more on magic power."
"Well, if you say so... But what if a player comes and manages to kill you? Can that player loot everything you own?"
Seeing that the old man asked such a question without hesitation, Leo immediately wanted to use the Eyes of Fear skill, but then he remembered the moment of embarrassment he had just experienced and decided to try again later.
The system had already started selling healing items for his broken shoulder. He could buy and use a super bandage that would heal him within a day.
Leo smiled at the old man and said that he wanted to try once more.
Although the old man spoke recklessly, he did not show any signs of hostility.
Leo moved to the right side of the door, tensed his intact arm, and used another skill he had obtained from the system, Ottoman Slap Ver.02.
When Leo's slap struck the center of the door, a handprint was left on it, but the door still showed no sign of opening.
While Leo was cursing the system inwardly for scamming him, the little dragon heard this and appeared to explain.
[Master, the slap you delivered dealt real damage to the iron door and reduced its defense to zero. In other words, even though the exterior of the iron door looks intact, the inside of the door has completely turned to dust. I recommend trying to hit it once more.]
At that moment, the old man had completely furrowed his brows and was looking at Leo thoughtfully.
When Leo turned around and saw his expression, he felt sweat run down his back for a moment.
"Old man, open your eyes wide and watch. There was magic energy inside the slap I just delivered."
"I can guess that. Leaving a slap mark on a door and not having your hands turn red because of it is quite abnormal."
"You haven't seen anything yet, old man. Watch this."
Leo turned back toward the door. This time, the old man thought he was about to witness a real display of magic. After all, there was genuine pride in Leo's eyes now.
Then, with a kick, Leo shattered the door from the point of impact like thin glass, and it collapsed.
As the old man looked at the dust coming out from the broken door, he seemed to have guessed something.
"And to answer your previous question, yes. If you manage to kill me, you really can loot the things on me. But remember, if you hit me, I will need to spend coins to fix my bones, but if I hit you, you will die by turning into a water balloon."
The old man ignored Leo's words, smiled, thanked him, and went inside to loot.
