"What the actual F*ck!"

I said to no one but myself.

Firstly, because the information jolted my brain as if someone gave me a punch in the head. The shock came all of a sudden, however, its effect was gone instantly. I didn't even have the classic 'lost my balance' kind of reaction.

Secondly, because the pieces of information are presented in an RPG-lite kind of system this time. Not only that, they didn't interfere with my vision, but more like another part of my brain can see the 'system screen' separately.

'Did I awaken the system!?'

I couldn't help but wonder, thinking of all the things I have been through today, it is similar to the templates of superpower awakening! Maybe mine is a kind of system.

I'm super excited at this moment, don't get me wrong, although I talk about superpowers and systems all the time, it's more of a joke. That doesn't mean I have the 8th-grade syndrome or some weird delusion.

While being excited I stood still and started looking over the system screen presented to me. I first noticed that the pieces of information given were accurate, at least the name and the dimensions of the truck when comparing them to the real truck seems to be right!

I continued to look downward at the rest of the information's, looking at the tank capacity missing one liter I thought to myself jokingly,

'D*mn! We got cheated! I have to let Laheeb discount it later!'

Of course, I wouldn't do that, it might be that the fuel gauge is a bit inaccurate, won't make any real difference, but if I bring it on, he might even think I'm making trouble and talking nonsense.

However, the last line turned my excitement into anger.

[Tank Content: 12296L Diesel - 2703L Water]

"I... I'm F*ck you up!"

I said with gritted teeth, my eyes widened almost spitting fire.

Water! Water for god sake! With the fuel!!!!

When you put water and fuel, they don't mix! The water will sink to the bottom and cause the tank to rust. This is the least of the problems it can cause.

It lowers the fuel-burning efficiency, affecting the engine lubrication process and in the worst case an engine seizure, where you might have to replace the whole engine!

F*ck! If you want to cheat people, do it subtly at least! Do they think we won't come back when we discover it!

As I focused more on the tank in my anger, more details kept on appearing.

"Laith! Why aren't you coming?"

Adam shouted from afar.

Only then did I come back to my senses. Looking back at my friends, I didn't know how to approach this problem.

One thing is I'm not 100% sure that the information screen is accurate. How could I prove it?

The other thing, I don't know if Laheeb, the friend we just made, knew about it.

I started walking toward my friends while thinking about how to bring things up.

"Why are you absent-minded?"

Adam meet me halfway and asked.

I hesitated for a moment whether to tell him. Meh! If my brothers can't be trusted then who does.

With a determined expression, I told Walid in a low voice.

"I have superpowers!"

He looked surprised at first, then his face changed, and looked at me with a dark face.

"Are you joking with me now? Did the heat f*ck up with your brain?"

I know he won't believe me and I won't waste my time trying to convince him so I just said,

"Believe it or not, I have something like a status appraisal. The fuel tank has 2703L Water! Think of a way to test the fuel."

I grab his shoulder with a serious no-nonsense expression.

Seeing me so serious, even though he didn't believe me, Adam still decided to help.

"You go pay first, I will take Walid to the side and ask him what to do."

Adam said as we walked to the office. Joining back with the group I walked directly to Laheeb and asked him to pay the bill quickly, while Adam took Walid to the side.

Inside another office, Laheeb started clicking on the keyboard, then asked.

"Are you going to pay with the local currency or foreign ones?"

"Local currency."

I replied as I opened my backpack, ready to pull the money.

"Then according to today's exchange rate 10.23 to one dollar. 1.470 times 15000 times 10.23, your total would be 222,571.4LC, let's round it a little bit with a bit of discount to 222,500LC."

Laheeb said with a smile. F*ck! You call 71.4 a discount? Why do I suddenly feel like hitting someone!?

I took a wad of cash and counted the right amount before paying.

*click* *clink* *click*

After Laheeb took the money and put them in the register he stamped the bill and gave it to me.

Right at that moment Adam and Walid came through the door.

Walid was looking at me with an unnatural expression on his face, but quickly changed to normal when I raised my eyebrows twice. This was our signal, meaning to act calm or go with the flow.

He then laughed while asking,

"Are you guys done?"

I replied while gesturing comically at Laheeb,

"Laheeb here gave me a biiiig discount! I was so touched, I almost cried!"

*laugh*

Salem, who was beside me all the time started laughing while Laheeb had a sheepish smile on his face. No need to specifically tell them, looking at the sheepish smile on Laheeb's face, Adam and Walid understood what was going on and issued a laugh.

We went outside the office, then I gave Walid a small gesture which he immediately understood.

"Let's check the fuel tank before going! Ah! Right! Laheeb, do you guys have water testing paste?"

Walid took the lead and asked as if he remembered suddenly, causing Laheeb to look confused.

"We do have the water testing paste. However the truck already has its own water filter, there is no way water will get in."

Walid spread his hand helplessly while shaking his head.

"It's the old man's order, he said the generator is old, if there is even a hint of water, it will go to the generator's heaven!"

Since Walid insisted, Laheeb didn't refuse, going beside the fuel truck he called a random worker from the side.

"Go bring a stick and some water testing paste."

In three minutes the worker came back, holding a long wooden stick, with brown paste painted on its end, about 10 cm.

"Check the water level for me in this truck."

"Yes boss!"

The worker nodded and went to the elevated platform, reached the top of the truck, opened the tank lid, and inserted the stick. After ten seconds, he pulled the stick and looked at the paste color.

"Sh*t!"
