Chapter 3: Bigger Plans ~ Episode 10: The Tour

---

"And that ends out tour. Thank you so much for signing up for Stuff Em'z and we hope you come back in often!"

Both Connor and Lucas got a good tour around Stuff Em'z after signing up for a Stuff Em'z ID for free. Their cards said the following:

| Lucas Myers | AGE: 22 | #00541735 ~ Newbie ~ 0 / 50 | | [SEP] 000,001,000 | Original Membership | Last Updated: November 12th, 2023 |

| Connor Crook | AGE: 23 | #00541736 ~ Newbie ~ 0 / 50 | | [SEP] 000,001,000 | Original Membership | Last Updated: November 12th, 2023 |

At Stuff Em'z, you can earn these things called Stuff Em Points (SEP). You earn them by visiting often and trying new things, meeting new people, as your progress is checked and followed by a coach you are assigned in the beginning. He'll either eat with you or watch you eat and watch your progression to becoming a new rank or more.

This place actually has a much more complex system then it seems. ID cards are actually simply slips of paper that can fit in your wallet, and can easily be printed out again if you lose it or damage it using your Password Recovery Code, which is not printed on the card and is kept a secret to yourself.

Mine was Pizzeria Station Nation , and I don't know why.

Lucas' was I love to make delicious pies , and this is true.

[SEP] can earn you free food or rewards and opportunities. You start with 1,000 points, as a gift for joining the community. I was told with that much points I could earn a free Large Stuffing Meal. The title means that you can have your food made in different sizes or quantities (Large) and it can also be made to be very filling (Stuffing). Of course, this will be a bit more expensive, but with this, I can get one for free! Points are never easy to earn, as you always gain them in small-ish portions.

Again, you earn them by doing service or trying new stuff, or simply hanging out with friends. There is a Daily Reward system, where every day I can come back to a new reward of Points or XP. If I come back daily, I'll get a bigger one everyday. But if I miss a single day, it resets to Day 1's reward.

Not only is there points, but also XP so I can rank up. Currently on my card it says I'm a Newbie, which is true, after all. To earn more, I must do the same things I do to earn points. Service, food, eat, talk, etc. Earning new titles/ranks can get me discounts on certain things. The next rank is Citizen, and I believe after that is Big Eater. After that, I'm not sure. I'll have to find out for myself!

The different kinds of memberships are an Original Membership which I currently have. It's a normal account, with basically nothing special to it. After that are different memberships that cost money or even points or ranking up to earn them, these new memberships give access to special hotel rooms (which yes, this place is also a hotel, I know right?) and clubs (also bars and clubs!). Even new foods and discounts! The final membership is Godly Membership, which is a bit of an overpowered one. Everything free, everything unlocked, everything available.

I guess that's mainly everything I need to discuss about the system at Stuff Em'z. It's a magical place, a great opportunity to meet other fellow gainers and become a true gainer myself. To become renown as something I want to be known as.

The squirrel who had given us the tour, Mark, started walking away after giving us a thumbs up and a "Good luck." and I walked over to him,

"Hey!" I said, resting a paw on his shoulder.

He looked back at me, "What's up?"

I wrote down on a slip of paper, "Call me sometime. I need to do you a favor." I said, handing him the note.

He chuckled with a blush, taking it and putting it in his pocket, "...Well, thank you, Mr. Handsome!" he rubbed and pat his gut once more, "Wanna rub my belly one more time?"

Connor nodded his head, rubbing, playing with his belly, and giving it a pat and a poke, "Soft and warm. I like it. But don't get the wrong idea. I'm giving you my number to simply help you."

He shrugged, "What do you mean? Why? And how?"

"You'll see for yourself." I told him, giving him one more rub.

He giggled, gasping at something he thought about, "You know what? I forgot to assign you guys a coach! Gosh!" he pulled out a clipboard, "Who is open... who... hmm... Ah! Perfect!" Mark smiled, checking something off a list after flipping a couple pages ahead, a list of names, "Let me go get your coach, he'll meet you at the main entrance." Mark nodded, walking away, "Have a nice day, you two!"

We both waved, "Thanks, you too!"

Lucas looked at me funny, "What on Earth was that about?" he said with a chuckle afterwards.

Connor shrugged, "I've heard of him. I'm gonna-" but before he could finish, someone tapped their shoulders. They turned to find their coach. It was a big,

fat,

bear,

named Fred.

Both looked at each other for a moment and hugged. "Such a small world we live in..." they both thought awkwardly.
