《Shop and Heroes》 Ch 1 The Descent In a certain room, a young man can be seen sitting on a rather futuristic-looking bed, he fiddle with a phone. This phone looked rather mismatched with its surrounding as it was a rather old-style-looking phone of course if it was compared to his surrounding, as for him? it was a normal-looking phone! The young man sighs... he remembers that just a few minutes ago he was a normal unemployed man in a different place! and he was clearly on a street! at that time the situation was not good, it was so sudden, but many cracks appeared from thin air and spread everywhere! He remembers that he try to run from these cracks but suddenly another crack appeared far ahead of him and swallow many people that ran in that direction! what''s more, this crack was fast and weird, he see one person can turn around and already rather far from this crack but soon he was pulled by an invincible force and gone just like that! what more this crack spread toward him! And he can''t outrun this crack! soon he got swallowed and sucked in¡­ the only thing that he can remember was his body got hurt all over! it was a pain that he can''t describe... and the next thing he know was he is in this room.., remembering the pain make him sweat so much... and he don''t know what happened to his family over there too... this makes him sad but still, he takes a deep breath and calms himself, it was important to know more about his current situation! first, he tries to analyze his surrounding. it was a bedroom, a rather advanced-looking device can be seen here and there, but he think it was not too advanced, maybe a few tens of years more advanced than his place''s technology....when he looked around he found something interesting! it was his phone, his old phone from that other place... not only that he can see his clothing, wallet, and this android phone, all scattered in his surrounding but his own body was changed¡­ if he remember the pain the most logical explanation was his body was already gone..... now he look at his current body, it was a teen around 18 years old, he was handsome, have silver-white hair and red eyes¡­. his body was rather good, he is athletic and looked strong yet not so bulky! His hand has some calluses too! As he was rather knowledgeable just from these calluses he can conclude that this teen learns some kind of martial arts or hard labor, at least it looks like that... but his current appearance does not support this idea at all! as this young man uses rather expensive-looking pajamas and this room looks rather well made.. well he doesn''t know about this place''s standard but at least his surrounding was clean and have an expensive aura! as this information was not enough he blink and thinks about his current memory, in truth he doesn¡¯t remember much¡­ what he means was he doesn''t know much about this body memory.. it was blank... he can only feel something but not recall anything. What he felt was this world not peaceful! As for why? he does not remember even a vague thing... as he feels that he can''t gather more information, the young man collects his old belonging from the previous world, he then looks for a container to place these things. Luckily there are drawers in this room, so he just stores his belonging over there. A few seconds later a knock can be heard. ¡°Young master it was time to have dinner!¡± a female voice can be heard. Hearing this the young man was a bit shocked and scared¡­ he doesn¡¯t know how to act like the former young man at all! Still, he can¡¯t just keep quiet and say ¡°Alright.¡± He then stands up and walks toward the door and opens it, he can see a young woman in a professional suit waiting for him¡­, she nods at him and then quickly guides him to where the dining room. When he followed this young woman, he can see many guards in the surrounding and they use something like futuristic exoskeletons armor and shiny rifle. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. he tries to observe more but he can''t as he already arrives at the dining room, he can see two people already sitting on a wide table. one of these people was a much younger girl than him .. well it can be said a young girl and another one was a rather cold-looking young woman, they look similar to him, have silver-white hair and red eyes. One was immature and one was cold looking but they have some kind of charisma that can''t be explained. soon, he was guided to a chair while this woman in professional attire sit down beside him. seeing all people arrive the older young woman looks at Garen and says ¡°Brother how was your condition?¡± Hearing this the young man can only smile awkwardly and say ¡°I am fine¡­¡± ¡°did you remember something ?¡± the young woman continue to ask. This makes the young man blink and subconsciously say ¡°I just know this world was not peaceful¡­ er¡­ uhum¡­.¡± He doesn¡¯t know why but he answers her question without thinking¡­ and in the end makes some awkward noise¡­. ¡°Good.¡± the young woman only say that. while the younger girl only stares at him... With that, these girls start to eat, and the young man follows suit, he can¡¯t just stare at them eating right? After finishing their dinner these girls just went out directly¡­. but before that, the younger girl come to him and give him a futuristic-looking phone tablet. ¡°Brother here take this, it will help you remember much more things faster.¡± after that, she just left¡­. This makes the young man blink and look at the tablet. soon he can hear a voice, ¡° Young master your condition is still not stable yet, it was suggested that you rest in your room for today.¡± it was the young woman in professional attire that remind him. With that, the young woman leads the young man back to his room, on the way the young woman keeps telling him his schedule for tomorrow¡­. It was mainly rest, taking a walk in the park, learning some common knowledge, and that is it. When he arrives at his room, he sits on a chair and looks at what that little girl gives him. He doesn¡¯t know how to operate it but it seems not hard as when he just makes eye contact with the screen it starts to turn on! And what he saw was some information, like his family member and his name! First, it was his profile [name : Garen White ] [record: Graduate from Antonio junior and elementary Private school, currently attend high school on Brilliant Star Academy] and it shows much more information, from his childhood to recent dates, even an accident that happened just a few days ago! From this, he knew that it was a good thing for him as this young man lost his memory! And the cause of this was a training season¡­ he lose control when gathering mana which cause some abnormal conditions that make him need to be treated at a hospital. Believe it or not, in this world of medicine and technology it was almost rare to see this kind of accident as long as there is a professional that guides them. the problem was this young man did it without any guidance! the source of this reckless attempt was this young man wants to pursue a young girl¡­ but he has a rather unsavory reputation at school¡­. so, she doesn¡¯t want to go out with him and tell him to do something like successfully awakening his power first. And as a young man that is full of hormones, he can easily be goaded by his love rival to awaken his power on his own! Well yes, the girl that attract his eyes was popular and chased by many peoples, and one of them was a powerful student. This student was special as he can awaken his ability naturally! so of course this student doesn''t need guidance. On the other side this young man ''Garen'' was different! even if he has talent he has money to ask for guidance from a professional! this will guarantee his success! But here he is being easily goaded by another hot-tempered young man and in the end got into an accident¡­ The ¡®current¡¯ Garen sighed, he then look at other information, it was about his family situation, even though his parents got into an accident long ago and are no longer with them he still has an older sister who takes care of every business they have and even make it much bigger! And she can achieve this with the help of her younger sister! this younger sister is still young but has some kind of adult tendency, what more she can help her big sister in managing their company¡­. because of this, some people said that she is a genius. As for their personal information, Garen can see them too as it was on the next page, so he click on it, and soon their information can be seen! His older sister was called Rosaline White, she is still 20 years old, while his younger sister is still in junior high school and her name was Cindy. they are the genius of this family¡­ while he, was another genius! this was one of the reasons he is confident to awaken by himself, sadly he was overconfident, and have an accident. in this place, every human can awaken some abilities! just normally they need some resources to do that and it was expensive! Of course, there is another category it was people that awaken naturally as stated before! but this case was rare. there are a few signs to know if they are a natural awakener and that is an energy called mana! if they have this energy when they are young they are certainly a natural awakener! but this need to do a test and Garen as a son of a rich family does this test when he is young! His test result was positive! he has mana! this is what makes him rather arrogant and confident... but to do this checkup one need to have money! and it is not cheap.... any ordinary person will rather use this money to eat than do a check-up. the cause was this natural awakening can be said so rare, another thing was even without this test they will naturally awaken on a certain day! it was different for each people but it was guaranteed to awaken! it was for a few blessed ones that can naturally awaken but there are other methods to awaken! and it was to use an awakening potion made by a human expert! of course, there are some requirements and much more strict regulations, as it was to force the human body to awaken their inner talent, it needs the taker to reach adulthood first to intake this potion as the reaction was harsh. another requirement was it needs money! and there is another one that makes people depressed, it was the fact that even after drinking this potion it is not always successful! or rather the ability that awakened was not as they expected, and some were not good in the eyes of society. Some people believe that each ability has its merit, but some believe it was useless, so even after spending so much money they have a high chance of just wasting money! His big sister was one example of people using an awakening potion, luckily she awaken her ability related to ice so it was a useful one. to make sure privacy is upheld when reporting their ability people can just do it in general description, of course, there is no rule to state it must be general.. it is just safer that way! the young man thinks about all of this and analyzes himself... and he found out that he luckily awaken his ability in that reckless attempt! and that was related to mana regeneration which makes him have a super-fast mana regeneration, but something went wrong and make him almost disappear from this world¡­.. maybe it was already happened as the current him doesn''t think he is the same person! so he can''t say if it was lucky or not... Anyway In this world mana was important, as this mana can be used to do something like attack, defend, or even craft something! Of course, as the world technology advanced some scientists even develop devices that use mana as a power source. From day-to-day appliances to weapons for war¡­ they now all use this energy called mana! So Garen''s ability was really useful! Even if he was useless in a battle, he can be a human generator¡­¡­ and in a mana-driven civilization, he is really useful¡­ to squeeze¡­. As for telling his family about his ability ? he thinks it can be done later... for now, he is rather unsure..... Ch 2 a Surprise Now after Garen arrives in his bedroom he looks at his old belonging from another world¡­ Well in truth he don¡¯t know if currently, he was in another world or if he is in the future, still he felt so different and he just assume it was a different world. He look at his wallet, there are some paper money, a debit card, an id card, and so many membership cards that he just collects and not used¡­ It was the same so he just let it go, then he try to turn on his Android phone, and to his surprise, it can be turned on! But his phone data was already gone and only one app was available, what more it was a game! When he open it he soon feel something happen to his body¡­ it was like something was being sucked by his phone! This makes him almost throw this phone, but after a while, he starts to relax... it is because he feels fine, nothing happened aside from this feeling as if something flows from his body and gathers in his hand and then vanished... when he focuses on this feeling he can feel that something is really gone from his body but quickly replenished! this makes him blink a few times and sigh.... in the end, he starts to do something else... what he do was to see what kind of game was installed inside his phone! he click on it and soon after the app start to load! A picture of a medieval shop can be seen and in Infront of it was a character with a big belly and a long mustache he look happy and don''t have anything to stress about! and Garen can see the title being written there, and it was Shop and Heroes! After that, the backstory unfolded. A paper mannequin starts to dance and mountains and sea made out of paper can be seen. soon a text appeared. ¡°this world was so big¡­.. so big that makes one want to explore and conquer it! But disaster struck and poverty comes¡­¡± The scene changed and now this paper mannequin''s appearance changed from normal looking it was now disheveled and looked thin. What came next was a war! ¡°Monsters and the myriad race of this world start to war! Each race wants to conquer the world while monsters want to end everything!¡± after that a scene appears and many paper mannequins can be seen, some look like humans, some look like pointy-eared elves, the short dwarfs, and much more fantasy races fighting against monsters, and on another side of the screen, Garen can see another small war, this was a rather chaotic as even the same race fighting against their own! this makes fire spread everywhere... ¡°Heroes rise and fall! .... Many countries rise and fall¡­. amid this chaos a young human was forced to take over his uncle''s shop, it was far from this war but soon? who knows! As for what that shop will be? it was up to you! The main character!¡± Soon the scene changed from a paper model to normal 3d animation, a young man with black hair and a medium build can be seen walking on a dirt road and soon arriving at a small village. When he arrived, a bald old man come and greet him ¡°Ohoho! Welcome young Garen to our village! your uncle leaving this village saddens us¡­ now let''s forget about the past, his shop already not operating for a while, let''s come and see it!¡± With that, the old man with the title of [Village Chief] brings the young man into a shop while the real-life Garen was frowning.. why was the name similar to his name!¡­. Maybe it was a coincidence¡­ With that, the scene of an abandoned wooden shop can be seen and it was filled with dust and spider webs. ¡°oh¡­ it is a mess! Come let''s clean this shop!¡± the village chief said. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. With that some arrows pointing to spider webs on the walls and dirty floors can be seen, it looks like he needs to press it to clean this area. Garen press down and hold it until a channeling bar was finished and soon that area become clean as new! And so he did that a few times until the place looks fresh and great! ¡°Now now it looked like a real shop! Just it was rather empty¡­ why don¡¯t you fill the stock first ?" "come let me introduce you to your supplier!¡± the village chief starts to talk and walks somewhere, Garen''s character automatically follows this old man. Soon after they come to a big area where he can see a few buildings, then a text bubble with the village chief image appeared below and start explain something, some arrow pointing to each building appeared too. ¡°This is where you find your supplier! this one on the right was a blacksmith that made any item from normal farming tools to weapons and ore-based equipment!¡± ¡°that one in the middle was where alchemists stay, here you can buy medicine of all kinds! Even health potion for injury and some uh.. weird one¡­¡± ¡°Next, over there we have a tailor shop where you can buy any fabric and leather-based item.¡± ¡°that one was artisan where you can buy any accessory¡± ¡°And did you see that tall circular building on the back? it was where the mysterious Grand Mage reside! He can help you craft any magic-related item for a fee of course, in truth you need money to buy anything from these people¡­ or you can craft on your own!¡± ¡°now while we were here, I will explain to you any other buildings, you see the one over there?" the one that was being pointed to was a two-story building with a huge jar of alcohol as a sign.... "This was an inn where adventurers take a rest! When you have money they will do anything for you! They a bunch of money slaves¡­.. sigh.¡± the village chief shakes his head... ¡°uh.. that last building ¡­. I don¡¯t recommend you to go over there¡­ it looks shabby and dangerous¡­ it was a place where normal people don¡¯t want to come close at all¡­. so be careful of it!¡± this village chief looked rather disgusted with that place... Even though the village chief does not explain it well there is a title of [black market] over that building so Garen knew it is not a good place for normal people¡­. ¡°Now let¡¯s continue!¡± the village chief bring him to another area this one was outside the village and one can see just one thing it was a big portal! ¡°This thing here was a place for you to get your raw material! just little tips you can sell anything in your shop, raw material included, and maybe some people will buy that.¡± This time village chief explains. ¡°back to the topic to gather material it was not safe for us, only adventurers can come there and gather raw resources for us¡­. haa this is where they are useful huh!¡­¡± the village chief shake his head a bit, he seemed did not like anything that has ''dangerous'' vibes. ¡°well you can go on your own to gather material, but it was easy for an accident to meet you there¡­. anyway, I suggest you recruit an adventurer so they can gather material for you, it needs money but is much safer!" "here was a gold coin your uncle left for you, I will keep it for now, and let¡¯s get back and look for an adventurer!¡± the village chief shop him a bag, from his word it was a bag to store gold coins. With that, they come back and walk toward the inn, from his screen Garen can see many people sitting and drinking, male, female, young, and old! It was a mess ¡­ ¡°Let''s go to meet the innkeeper and ask him if there are any adventurers that we can recruit with this little money... you know they are kind of expensive...¡± the Village Chief said. With that they walk inside and talk to the innkeeper, he is around the same age as the village chief just his build was different¡­ he is bulky as a bear! ¡°mighty bear! come and meet this young one! this is Garen ¡®his¡¯ nephew!¡± the village chief introduces Garen. the innkeeper sigh "Come on can''t you call me a bear already? it''s not even my name sigh..." and soon he looks at Garen''s game character, he then starts to laugh and say happily ¡°Puahahaha! Welcome to this village! well, you look like him a lot huh." "Alright, what do you want? did you want to be an adventurer? you can find a party over here if you want, just expect to not get any on your first day¡­¡± But the village chief looks annoyed and explains ¡°Come on! how can he be an adventurer? he will continue the shop! You know the shop! It already abandoned for so long!¡± The innkeeper can¡¯t help but shake his head ¡° yea yea, alright so you want to recruit one of these guys? I am afraid that it needs money for that, so how much was your budget I will help to look for a suitable one for you!¡± With that, a number panel appeared in front of the screen and Garen can choose on his own how much he want so after thinking he choose a number! ¡°hum 999.999.999 Gold coins... I can help you to look for one but I believe you don¡¯t have that many gold coins so tell me the real deal now¡± The innkeeper can¡¯t help but laugh and ask for the real one... Garen doesn¡¯t know what to type now, but soon the Village chief helps him. ¡°Alright alright stop joking! Tell us the cheapest one¡­.¡± the village Chief can¡¯t help but be a bit shy when he says this¡­. And the innkeeper sighs and nod ¡° yea yea so here it is, there are some newcomers this time so you can choose one of them!¡± With that a few people in the inn have an arrow pointing at them, they all look young and lack fierceness, and even their weapons and armor look unreliable. Garen click one of them and some information appeared on the screen. [name : Adventurer 1 ] [Job : Warrior ] [Description : ??? ] it was a male adventurer with leather armor and an iron sword, from his look he is around the same age as the main character of this game. Garen then click another one, it was a woman with a rather long robe she use a long staff as a weapon. [name : Adventurer 2 ] [Job : Mage ] [Description : ??? ] And he looks a few more [name : Adventurer 3 ] [Job : Archer ] [Description : ??? ] [name : Adventurer 4 ] [Job : Barbarian ] [Description : ??? ] When he clicks on this adventurer 4 the innkeeper suddenly talk ¡°It seems you are lucky! this time, a rare adventurer comes as a newcomer, even from his build, you can tell that he is strong! Yup, adventurer 4 was a bulky young man it really stood out among the newcomer¡­ even among people in this inn he still stood out because of his build. But there is still one on the corner that he does not click yet so Garen has not decided to choose no 4 for now. And this last one was rather peculiar as the pointer was small and even almost covered with other people, if not because Garen wanted to see if there were only four adventurers to choose he will miss this one! Soon he click the one on the corner, it was a young and gentle-looking girl¡­ [name : Anne ] [Job : ???? ] [Description : ??? ] When he clicks on this young girl the innkeeper sigh... ¡°Haa.. this young girl¡­ what can I say.. she only tell me her name what more her voice was rather soft.. when I ask her to tell me her job she only mumbles something....¡± the innkeeper shrugged. But as a player in many games, which one do you choose? of course, Garen is more interested in this young girl! After all, different from the others she have a name and her job was a question mark! From this girl''s disposition and character template, she looks like a healer or magic type. Still, even if she was a healer, he can gather money again and pay an additional adventurer to work for him right? As long as he doesn¡¯t need to pay for every time he sends out his adventurer¡­.. even without all of these reasons he wants to choose this one! Ch 3 Gentle Girl Garen then chooses this kind-looking girl he click confirm and soon after Village Chief gives that bulky innkeeper a bag of money¡­ all of it¡­ and now a panel that shows this girl''s information can be seen. [name: Anne ] [Job: ??? ] This girl Anne can be seen walking toward them rather slowly, she did not say anything and it was the innkeeper that say something. ¡°alright you already choose your adventurer, I hope your shop a great success!¡± he said with so much while smacking Garen''s game character''s shoulder.... Soon they come back to Garen''s shop that still empty. The village chief then says something ¡°Oh right my old brain¡­. I forgot to tell you some tools were left behind by your uncle and you can use them to craft some items!¡± With that an arrow appeared it point at a candle holder on a wall, it was rather on the far end. The village chief then explain ¡°It was inside this shop basement so you need to open the stair first!¡± With that, Garen clicked on the candle holder, after a rumbling sound a stair leading downward can be seen! it was on the corner of this shop just right beside that candle holder. This makes Garen sigh as to why this game character''s uncle needs to make this kind of mechanism if other people knew about it. Soon they walk down and Garen can see a much messier place, without the villager chief saying anything his character walks on its own and clean this place! Soon this place look good, and inside were a few items. They are an iron chest, blacksmith forge, tanning table, sewing table, and some kind of alchemy table! ¡°ah, how nostalgic I don¡¯t know why he needs to make this hidden door function for his forge¡­ anyway this is where you can craft your product! After your adventurer gather enough material you can craft it here.¡± the village chief said. He continues to say ¡°Right.. can you see if there is any material left on the chest? It can be useful for you!¡± with that the character walks toward the chest and opens it! After that an image of iron ore was shown with + 10, and an Iron dagger blueprint icon with +1. ¡°let¡¯s try this blueprint! It was what he left behind¡­¡± The village chief looks excited by this! After that, an arrow appeared it pointed to a menu at the bottom of his screen which was crafting! Besides crafting there are menus for shop, village, and exploration. When Garen click on this crafting menu, just one choice appeared. [name: iron dagger ] [Material: 1 iron ore ] [Time: 10 seconds] Because it was only one option he can only click on it, soon a dagger icon can be seen on the top right corner of the screen, it started with gray color and each second it start to have a bit of color until ten seconds passed! An arrow appears and points at that icon which make Garen click on it, this makes him have an iron dagger +1 image! If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. After that, the village chief says ¡°Alright it seems we have something to sell now, let''s place it on the shelf!¡± When they come to the upper floor, they froze....seeing the barren place makes this village chief have a ¡°¡­.¡± bubble and say ¡°Oh right I forgot again! You can add a shelf first to place your item!¡± With that, an arrow pointed to the shop menu appeared! Garen click on it and a row of furniture can be seen, it was furniture to display his item and their cosmetic variation as a choice. Aside from furniture, there are decorations too it was segmented and he can choose which one he wants to look at. An arrow pointed to a small wooden table so he click on it and now he can place it in his shop! He chooses a corner as he doesn¡¯t know what to fill this small shop with later¡­. After that a small table appeared in the corner and an iron dagger was automatically placed there! ¡°Great now you can open this shop on your own! Oh, wait¡­. I forgot to tell you, but it was not hard, you can just send your adventurer to explore the dungeon to gather material!¡± With that, an arrow pointed to the exploration menu appeared, and Garen sighed, any game tutorial always takes ages¡­ he still click on that exploration menu... With that two dungeons can be seen, and each dungeon drops different material! The first one was The Mine which drop iron ore, and the Forest of Beginning for Wood, leather, and herb. As he only have an iron dagger blueprint he choose The Mine, but before that the village chief appeared again and explain. ¡°ah, I forgot again. you need to let your adventurer equip some equipment first! If not then it was rather cruel¡­ you can let them equip something that you craft, or bought! Of course, certain adventurer already has their equipment when recruited.¡± With that his new adventurer the gentle girl Anne stats appeared, she did not wear any equipment so the slot was empty and he can only assign an iron dagger for now. He click on the weapon slot and let her have the iron dagger¡­ it did not show any stats information like normal games, like his dagger was only have a name and that was all! but Garen believes equipment has some effect on the battle. So now he has a gentle girl with a dagger.. this setup makes him worried for his adventurer¡­ but as it was the first dungeon in a game, maybe it was easy right? He then clicks on explore button and soon there is an image screen of his adventure the gentle girl walks toward the portal and appeared in a dark cave! After that, she keeps walking and sometimes picks up iron ore¡­. this takes time and Garen has a choice to watch Anne''s adventure or just close this panel and do another thing. He try to do just that but as this panel was highlighted when he press the exit button it did not budge and he need to wait. Soon after the girl finds her very first enemy! It was a green creature that was shorter than she is called [goblin], on the screen she slashes at it and believe it or not the goblin was slashed into two¡­. There are no +exp icon or something like that but after killing a few more goblins a panel appeared and show his adventurer new stats! [name: Anne ] [Job: Destroyer ] It was her job and next to this stats menu there was a skill menu so Garen click on the skills menu as it was highlighted. There is a single-lane skill tree in which each image was grayed out, only the very first one was lit up! And so he looks at this skill, he click on it and it information panel can be seen. [Destroy] [Passive] [use her strength to destroy anything on her path!] As it was the only skill that lit up it mean that Anne his adventurer already learn this skill and it look like a passive one. This time he can close the menu and he sees this girl splitting goblins into half each time she slashes¡­. she is a strong one! After one more minute, it seems she look tired so she go back to the way she come and this exploration ended, she gather 5 iron ore and come back. This time the scene automatically changes to the inn and text can be seen explaining that each time adventurers do exploration they need to rest and heal up! His adventurer Anne have a timer which was 30 minutes to rest. Soon a bubble appeared and explain he can move freely now and explore on his own! But there is something that makes Garen worried, the screen suddenly has a glitch-like error and this makes the screen rather hard to see! Soon after it come back to normal and a message panel appeared! [congratulation on your first top-up! Enjoy the free epic Item Mace of Destroyer!] But this makes him blink and think about how he can top up on this game... And what did he top up with¡­¡­. money or .... ? After calming himself down a bit he start to play with his phone and found out something! What he top-up was something called gems! It was a purple color gem. And what''s more, he found that In this game two currencies were being used, the first was gold coins and the other one was gems. It was the same as usual online games, gold coins were in-game currency while gems were something that pay-to-win players liked the most! It can even be used as a gold coin in case he lacks any later. And now apparently he is one of the whales¡­ as his gems keep increasing each minute! It was one gem each minute and he was still doubtful so he wait and sure enough! With each minute passes his gem was raised! And after sometimes he found the system mall menu which only pays to win players can use, it does not sell heroes and such but a bundle like a material bundle, or perks like additional inventory, additional clerk to take care of the shop, additional adventurer slot, and manager which help operate the shop! But soon there is another glitch! This time it takes a bit longer until it comes back to normal! And something baffling happened! This time the graphics started to rise so high that each place look like a real building! Even each people look like a normal human in real life! And what''s more the time was the same! It was night over there! If one didn¡¯t know that this was a game they will think he watch a movie¡­ as it was so real! He tries to look for other changes and found out that, the menu was still there nothing changed there was still a crafting menu, Shop menu, inventory, village, and exploration plus system shop¡­ Every menu was functional, the village menu will bring him to the village center where he can buy ready-made items. But now there is a grocery shop which he can buy food from¡­ Well, it makes this game more realistic a bit¡­ But when he click on the adventurer menu he was blinking as he can see a summon button! Besides Anne''s character, there is a summon button and this Anne looks exactly like a gentle human girl in real life. He continues to try other menus, on inventory menu he found out that it has the same button as Adventurer menu ''a summon button''! Ch 4 Summoning This makes Garen curious and remembers the mace of the destroyer from his top-up so he clicks inventory and searches for this mace, as his inventory was empty he can see a sole item here and he clicks on it and then press that summon button! Soon a white particle starts to gather right in front of him and they start to condense into a mace! It looks big and deadly¡­. Garen then picks up this mace and play with it for a while¡­ it looks real... he then opens his phone and found out this mace disappeared from his inventory! What more he has some kind of feeling that if he wanted to he can unsummon this mace with just his thought and he can see it again on his game inventory. And sure enough, he try to recall it with just his thought and the mace start to be enveloped with white particles and disappeared! This made him excited as it was true! It will be more convenient for him to do things with this. He calms down a bit, and he then presses summon on Anne''s character! He wants to see what will happen if he summons a living being from a game! What will it be like? This time the white particle was rather huge, it make the shape of a humanoid creature and soon a gentle young woman appeared right in front of him! She look gentle and wore medieval-era coarse clothing and have a small dagger in her hand. But Garen doesn¡¯t think he can underestimate this girl as her job was a Destroyer! The Girl smile at him but did not say anything, this make him a bit confused, and start to talk with her. ¡°hum so how are you feeling ?¡± he doesn¡¯t know what to say and asks this. Soon he can hear her voice it was rather small and soft¡­¡°Umm... I am fine boss, ¡­.. I''m just a bit tired, I can go again in 15 minutes..¡± Anne the girl says, she fidgets all the time¡­. well it seems she is a shy type. This makes Garen nod again and before he unsummon her he can¡¯t help but say ¡° alright rest well first.¡± as he feels it was a good thing to do¡­. With that, she was enveloped by white particles and disappeared! He sighs and then remembers he still has not equipped that new mace for Anne so he wants to do that first. He open his adventurer menu and let Anne equip this mace, just from the name of this mace he can see that this weapon was suitable for Anne! Or maybe it was one set with her, to begin with¡­. this thought happened because other adventurers were fully equipped with weapons and armor, and only this young girl did not even have a weapon, maybe this happened because of a glitch or something like that at first, and made up with this congratulatory gift pack. Suddenly there is a notice that he has a customer! Garen then clicks on his shop to look and sure enough a young man comes inside, he looks at any available items and walks toward his character, he asks a question about the dagger that is displayed on a small table. As these characters look real of course they do not use chat bubbles but talk directly! ¡°Shop owner, how much is that dagger? I need that to hunt goblins today!¡± the young man said. And soon a panel appeared and Garen can type how much that dagger was and he set it for 999.999.999 gold coins¡­. This makes the young man laugh ¡°Shop owner come on! I am serious, don¡¯t worry I already trained so much that I can fight them head-on! today I will prove it!¡± With that another panel appeared and this time he type 100 Gold coins. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. The young man sighs ¡°Really¡­ I know that it is just around 10 Gold coins¡­. just give me a favor this time alright? I guarantee to come back alive!¡± As Garen did not feel anything to lose, he can only type ten gold coins when the panel appeared again so this young man can buy it. This time the young man nodded ¡°Thank you! I will bring some material if I got one later! Of course, pay me for that please!¡± Soon his 0 gold coin started to raise by 10! and the young man come out of the shop looking extremely happy... Garen thinks for a moment and crafts an additional dagger, as he only has one crafting slot he can only craft one each time. And if he wants to increase this crafting slot he can use gold coins or gems to add more slots, but for now, he doesn¡¯t have enough gold coins! As one slot needs 1000 gold coins or gems¡­ His gems were too little so it did not help at all, he try to focus on his current condition now, he craft 14 iron daggers one by one and sell them if any customers come and offer him a price. So soon he have 150 Gold coins! As for gems, he doesn¡¯t understand but after this glitch and graphic update, it rose quite a bit but does so hourly so each hour he get 100 gems! Currently, he only has 100 gems, the one before disappeared! Maybe it was that glitch that reset his gems, he can only sigh for now. Still, he look at his system shop and search for something he can buy with 100 gems¡­ and found out 100 gems was nothing! as the cheapest one for gems was 1.000 and that was a material bundle¡­ after thinking that he needs to gather more to buy something, he suddenly remembers something! He forgets to let Anne explore the cave dungeon¡­. With that he assign Anne to explore, this time the scene was so real and even the monster was looking real this scene was so much better than CGI! Of course, it is still a game as Anne can be seen picking up a raw iron ore right from the ground..... as it just scattered around screaming ''Come collect me!''. But when she fights the goblin this makes Garen rather uncomfortable as the scene was so brutal! Blood and even internal organ can be seen after she smacks a goblin with her mace¡­. this makes him close the panel and try to refill his stock of finished products, so he goes to a blacksmith and orders some items. This time it is still so real and even the blacksmith himself shows him the ware! He is a rather stout middle age man¡­ but his arms were muscular looking and make people don¡¯t dare to mess with him! Garen look around the screen and ask for the Iron dagger price, it was 8 gold coins so he can only profit from 2 gold coins¡­ for other items, he don''t know their market price, in the end, he just decided to try reselling iron dagger first. As Anne still exploring and he doesn¡¯t have anything to do he buys 10 daggers for 80 gold coins and places them in his shop! But now it was so quiet¡­ he forgot that it was nighttime and many people were already asleep.. well it was what he thought as he don¡¯t know if time have some serious effect on this game¡­ And maybe it was true, because there are only two customers until Anne come back¡­ so he only profited from 4 gold coins¡­. Anne brought back 13 Iron ore and she look super tired and bloody¡­ This time her rest time skyrocketed to 8 hours, the reason was simple, there are game notices that explain, as currently it was night time so each adventurer need to sleep hench the rest time increased. But there is another option, there is a button that forces his hired adventurer to work! and there is another button called emergency summon which forces his adventurer to still wake and be summoned into the real world! Still, Garen don''t want to try this button and let her rest as it look so real he think doing that was not a good thing. As it was late at night Garen don¡¯t have any choice and close his shop¡­ or rather close his app, but he found out that he can¡¯t exit the game¡­. With that, he just let his phone lay down on the table and he prepare to sleep! Who knows when his hand just separates from his phone it shut off automatically! This makes him have a heart attack and quickly grab it, only to find out that it automatically turned on again, and he will feel that suction force again! So with his immature theory, it was his mana that become this phone''s source of power, and that is why it keeps sucking something from him! With that he calm down a bit, this time he place it in a safe place and rest for the day! The next morning he was woken up by the same young woman who use professional attire. And so he have a family breakfast, this time their communication was still as short, his older sister ask about his condition, and the sentence was even similar... as before Garen say he is good... hearing his answer she just nods and continues to eat¡­ As his little sister? after eating she gives him another tablet which shows a bit of information about the girl ¡®he¡¯ like and goes with her big sister. Garen still sit on the chair and read, but after reading a bit he can only say that he was tired¡­. this girl was beautiful indeed but the ¡®current¡¯ him was not interested in her at all and no memory was awakened by seeing this girl''s information. What''s more, as they were still in high school he can expect this love just a puppy love¡­ and he don¡¯t think it was really important! Soon he was called by his secretary, the young woman with professional attire. she is someone that assign to him after that reckless incident by his sister, this was to make sure he have a good health condition and hopefully quickly recover. ¡°Young master it was time to walk in the garden, it was good to have fresh air it can refresh the mind and make you recover much more quickly.¡± the young woman said. Garen can only nod and follow her, this house was big indeed or rather it was a mansion. The garden was beautiful and refreshing! He sits on a bench while the morning sun shines on him. He sigh and think that the rich way of life was different indeed... After that, he attends a common knowledge class¡­ ¡°Young master I will try to explain the world around us in general first.¡± the teacher was his secretary and she teach him right in the garden directly¡­ well it was not like Garen have any problem with that. From her words, this world was not normal, aside from the ability user that was popular among humans, there are monsters too! And each monster was powerful on its own, there were even the same goblins from the game world in this real world! These monsters occupy a huge area of this world, and humans can only occupy some small areas and gather together to form a huge human territory which divided into many nations. Each nation has a good term on the surface and even has a law that guarantees every people that can claim land outside of current human territory can make their nation or kingdom or whatever they want to call it! Or they can decide to join the existing nation to seek protection! These rules state that other nations were forbidden to do any kind of attack even from the dark of this new nation for the first ten years after it was established. But after that, it was hard to tell, that why even if someone can occupy a foreign land, most people will just seek protection and merge with other existing nations to become their city lord, it depends on their territory size. Of course, occupying foreign land was hard to do, that is why most new lords can only be city lords, not regional governors or something grander! Even if they can claim many territories, it was a hard task, if they can¡¯t handle it well they will be reduced to one or two cities in just a blink of an eye! even the existing nations don¡¯t dare to expand so bravely! With that human countries'' growth was slow but steady! ¡°alright young master it seems to be enough for today, too much information was not good for your current condition.¡± the secretary said and so Garen can only follow along¡­. Ch 5 Shop After this class Garen can do whatever he wants, so he comes back into his bedroom and opens his old phone! To his surprise, the gems were still the same only 100, while many people line up to buy his dagger! He deal with the current influx of customers first and got 80 gold coins! This means he only got 20 gold coins as profit¡­ He then makes 13 daggers and places them on the shelf! After that, he sends Anne to explore the cave for more iron ore. After doing all of this Garen then look at his gems, it was still 100! this makes him blink, he doesn¡¯t know why it stuck at 100, he believes there is a reason for this! To make sure he can still receive gems regularly, Garen waits for a few hours while attending his shop and continue to send Anne to explore [The Cave] again after she rests enough. After two hours of trial and error, he found out that it really rise up and now he has 300 Gems! This makes him puzzled, it seems that it will be added by 100 gems per hour now! It was surely more than before as it was 60 gems an hour before, now it was 100 gems per hour, it just needs exactly one hour to have these gems added altogether. Now his gold continues to raise as he continuously made new iron daggers and of course, sells them. What''s more, in this period he can confirm that his gems continue to raise for each hour! Soon it was time to have lunch, and his secretary ask him to follow her to dining room, this time he bring his phone in his pocket and start to eat. He did not see any of his sisters as they went somewhere, possibly the older one needed to attend their company while his little sister need to go to school, this was what he thought, and sigh as he is the only one that idles at home... After finishing his lunch he comes back and continues to play with his phone, his gold coin continues to raise and Anne keeps going to explore the cave! And after a while, a unique notice can be seen! [Your adventurer meets a boss!] With that Garen quickly sees Anne''s condition! When he see the scene he can only sigh, her enemy was a human size goblin, it was rather muscular and was called hobgoblin and had a skull icon beside its name! but it still got smacked to a pulp by this kind-looking girl! And what surprised him more was a blueprint suddenly dropped! [Name: iron Sword ] [Material: 2 iron ore ] [Time: one minute ] This makes him nod at least he can sell an iron sword from now on! With that, he tries to craft this iron sword! Like before an icon appeared in the right corner of his screen and he need to wait for one minute to click on it! Anne brings back 14 iron ore before so he can craft 7 swords! With this, he continuously clicked on his phone and made swords. Soon after another hour passed and he sold these 7 swords! Each sword was 30 gold coins! He needs to do that crazy method of giving the price 999.999.999 gold coins first to make sure his customer gives a rather good price. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. with this method, he can find out the market price, this iron sword can be sold for 30 gold coins! What''s more, even though the material was twice as iron dagger its price was triple of one dagger! This made him have so much money! It was 810 Gold coins, this was after totaling multiple daggers and the sword that he sold before. But after exploring so long Anne still does not level up¡­, or rather he doesn¡¯t know how to make her level up¡­ or even if there is any function like that in this game! With his current amount of gems and gold, he can buy additional slots for crafting! Of course, he needs to spend gems to fill the lack of gold coins as gems can be converted into gold, but he does not plan to do that as gems can be converted to gold but gold can¡¯t be converted into gems! And what''s more, he wants to buy a shop manager! if he has a manager they can help him manage this shop much more effectively! And he don¡¯t need to look at his phone the whole time¡­. it was rather tiring. This manager can sell items on their own, send adventurers to explore, and even buy a profitable item and sell it on their own! Of course, he needs to give instructions first. But to have a manager he need to spend 10.000 Gems and with his ability, he need to wait for 100 hours for that.. which was around four days of saving, well not so long, it just a few days. Of course, there is a premise, if these gems continue to raise exactly every hour! He knows for some reason it is not raised at all when he sleeps and eats breakfast before. He thinks that it was related to his mana as it was the one that possibly count as a resource to top up right? When he places the phone in his pocket he can feel the suction force so it means the app still running! To test this conjecture he even stops playing and keeps it in his pocket for one hour more! And sure enough, When he put it in his pocket his current gems raised to 400 ! and when he not touching the phone it was still on that numbers! So now he needs to think of a way to always touch his phone¡­. maybe sleep with this phone in his pocket? It was a great idea but he don¡¯t know if it will be comfortable or not for him to sleep like that¡­. He sighs, he just needs to try it out tonight for a test¡­.. Soon he comes back to manage his shop and keeps sending Anne to explore the cave, he hopes she meets another boss! When he open the explore menu he found something different, maybe it unlocked after Anne defeated the boss but now there are difficulty options! Which was easy and hard, after thinking for a moment he click on the hard option! Soon Anne can be seen exploring the cave but from the start of exploration, Anne''s starting point was already deep inside the cave. She got more ore than before but meet a much more powerful enemy! It was two monsters and each one was them was a boss from before! The hobgoblins! Still, Anne just swing her mace and make them into a pulp! But after some time the enemy number starts to grow and she starts to fight against a group of monsters! Even though she can keep smashing them, she still got hit a few times! And because she not wearing any armor the damage was pretty significant and each time make her groan in pain! In turn, she angrily smashes them more violently... With this high difficulty her journey stops after meeting a few more enemy waves.. she comes back to the village wounded. She wants to rest but first, she gives Garen her loot from this exploration. She got 23 iron ore and still she did not level up¡­. what''s more her resting time was increased from 30 minutes to 1 day¡­.. it was because of her injury¡­. And with this Garen let her rest, and doesn¡¯t know what to do anymore he can¡¯t just force Anne to continue exploring either with her current state. One thing is for sure and this makes him sigh as with this his main source of income was from reselling things¡­. and it was not profitable currently¡­.. First, he crafts 11 iron swords and displays them in his shop, it was the last item he craft on his own, and now he start to look for items to resell! He come to the blacksmith again and look for an iron sword price, it was 24 Gold coins, if he use an iron dagger and iron sword price he can deduct his profit will be 20%! he doesn¡¯t know about other items but if it is true it was something else! if there are later stages in this game, that 20 percent was not a small amount at all! it will be a huge income for him! Of course, as long as someone buys it¡­ Still even with iron sword profit if he can sell 100 a day then he still makes a profit of 600 gold coins! It was big enough¡­ he then think maybe it was the essence of this game¡­. reselling, crafting, and exploring! And as long as there are customers that buy his product it was great! He don¡¯t know if it was like the real world where people will stop buying after all demand was fulfilled. But still, after selling so many weapons some people still come to buy that weapon type¡­ so maybe it was not related in the game world at all. And sure enough, when he displays the iron sword on the table, people still come inside to look at it. Believe it or not, something strange happened, some people start to bargain¡­. and a bubble to [accept], [negotiate] or [reject] appeared! Garen just agrees as long as they reduce the price by 1 or two gold coins, but if it is already 5, he starts to negotiate with them to raise the price if they don¡¯t want to he rejects them firmly! It was fine if it was just one or two people bargaining but there are so many that Garen start to think that he opening a shop in real life¡­ it was tiring! After so long he new realize something, his profit was cut by much! Almost no people want it at 30 gold coins so he can sell it at 28 on average, 11 swords for 28 was only 308! he lose 22 gold coins¡­ It was fine as the price now was low if it was higher this was a big problem¡­ This makes him need that manager¡­. ¡°sigh! I need to be patient¡­ it was only four days..¡± Garen can¡¯t help but console himself. But first, he want to test something he look at his current money which was 1,118 Gold coins he then decided to try his idea. He chooses the village menu and goes to the blacksmith to buy 46 iron swords for 1,104 Gold coins! He only has 14 coins left¡­ which makes him look miserable.. luckily it was only a game¡­, what''s more, even if these swords are not sold out today, he can still gather some money by crafting later or just waiting for a few days to sell his stock. These swords are automatically placed on display and people can look at and buy it, with that he sells every sword until it is nighttime! As it was nighttime in the game it was nighttime in real life too! And this time he firmly rejects every people that try to bargain, this makes some people left disappointed, but some people still buy it at his price. Now he can see that all his swords were sold out and he has a profit of 276 gold coins in one day! which means he doesn''t need to follow their demand to reduce the price.... His current gold coins become 1,394 Gold coins! Still, he can feel how low the profit was compared to crafting on one own¡­. And now that he thinks about it, because he keeps rejecting when people bargain this makes him lose some customers, and it takes time for another customer to come, this consumes so much of his time... He look at his gems, it was raised to 1,100 so it mean six hours already passed, soon a knock can be heard and his secretary call him to have dinner! With that, he arrives at the dining room and meets with his sisters again¡­.. Ch 6 Sister Worry Soon Garen and his sisters start to eat like always and his big sis still asks about his condition the same way. But this time there are some changes! His little sister Cindy starts to talk to his big sister. ¡°Sis, did you need to do that ?¡± When her big sis hears this she coldly reprimands her ¡°Not now Cindy.¡± ¡°but¡­.. it''s fine he needs to know about this sooner or later!¡± Cindy keeps insisting... This makes Garen curious, maybe there is some problem? it is not weird for this kind of thing to happen in any story, or even in real life¡­ Seeing Garen''s curiosity his big sister sighs, and Cindy takes this chance to explain more about their situation! ¡°this time there is a new dungeon that appeared near our city! And we bought it with so much money! Now it was a problem of how to explore it¡­¡± Cindy explain. The secretary that sits beside Garen suddenly speaks ¡°Young miss, the young master still not learned about it yet.¡± Hearing this Cindy make an O sound and nodded ¡°Alright I just need to explain it in much more detail¡­ the dungeon was a space that appear out of nowhere¡­ uh what to say, just think of it as the paper theory of the old days.¡± ¡°There are two sides to the paper, and you can think of these two sides as one our world where we stay here, and the other one was some kind of dimension the same as ours but so different from our world!¡± ¡°and now imagine if you use a pencil to tear a hole? can¡¯t each side see the other? or rather with this hole, they can reach the other side!¡± Cindy nods at her statement¡­. she then continues. ¡°it was a weird theory but logical enough as a basis, so here in this world there are a crack of the world that form a dungeon.¡± ¡°and different from the paper theory that I said before, this dungeon was not as big as our world, some was small some was big it depended on their situation! Still, can you imagine the wealth of resource the other side have ?.¡± Cindy continues to explain. ¡°and we happened to buy a good one, it was detected to be medium size! Usually, the monster inside was much stronger than a smaller dungeon and it was risky, but sister Rose want to join this expedition herself!¡± After blinking a few times Cindy suddenly say ¡° Rose was sister Rosaline''s nickname¡­ did I need to explain more..¡± she ask Garen in case he don¡¯t know what her nickname was¡­. Well, it seems he not even asking about that, but this makes Garen understand a bit more about this world, aside from the monster that takes over many territories there is some kind of dungeon in this world too¡­ Garen was interested and asked, ¡°So based on that paper theory that you explain did this monster inside the dungeon can come out to attack us in this world ?¡± This makes Cindy blink and look at him as he sees something weird¡­ this makes Garen think he said the wrong thing¡­. But Cindy nodded after that ¡°Uh yup, that was the main reason our world was like this in the first place¡­ there are old records that long long ago it was humans that take control of everything in this world! But now it was like this.¡± Cindy sigh. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. ¡°btw brother it seems you become much smarter..¡± Cindy suddenly looks at her big sis cold stare, and she stops the word after that. Garen knows what Cindy means ¡°Alright it was fine just think of me as a different person from before..¡± he subconsciously says this and even makes Cindy and even his big sis look at him in some kind of indescribable way¡­ Garen sighed, in some sense not the former Garen, and after reading much information his memory not coming back at all and only some kind of feeling¡­ like closeness with his sisters¡­ But Rose suddenly says ¡°Alright let¡¯s start a new one, you become much more sensible now.¡± Cindy only nods and says ¡°Great!¡± but soon she remembers her purpose and continues ¡°So sister can you not go? I''m really worried!¡± But her big sis sighs ¡° I can¡¯t, I need to go¡± and this makes Cindy sigh too¡­ Garen sees this, he starts to think and then asks ¡°What was the problem? I mean as an ability user sister can do well right ?¡± Hearing this Cindy sigh again ¡° Ability user was not that omnipotent brother¡­ uh what to say It was dangerous and sister can die¡­¡± Hearing this Garen nodded ¡°But if she come in with professional people it was fine right ?¡± Cindy look at him and sigh again ¡°Yes but it needs so much money to hire them.. and it was in premise if they can be hired with money! In truth we not mainly doing dungeon business¡­ so we don¡¯t have many capable people.¡± Hearing this Garen nod and think about Anne she can smash a goblin into a pulp and even the boss so she is a professional right? With that, he say ¡°How about I introduce you to one then ?¡± but after saying this his heart beat wildly ¡­. How can a memory loss person introduce his family to someone¡­.. And this makes the two sisters and even his secretary look at him, Garen quickly explains ¡°Uh It seems I remember people¡­. and ¡­¡± After hearing this the others sigh, Cindy even says ¡°Brother¡­ I believe that it is not a good idea... I mean uh maybe they.. are hard to contact.¡± This makes Garen confused did he really know some people for real? but Cindy continues while opening a tablet, she shows him some recordings inside a group of people that do an interview. They wore armor and used cold weapons, from the look of it, they are a rather popular group. ¡°Brother these people were¡­. from another agency and it will be hard to contact them as.. they are not.. uh like I said before we need so much money to pay for their help and maybe you don¡¯t know¡­.¡± Hearing this Garen suddenly enlighten! it seems she thought about this as maybe he has some memory about these people as they are popular and thought he was friendly with them¡­ But Garen start to think did he need to play along and admit they were the ones he thought or say something else? After thinking for a while he decided to say ¡°It was not them.. it was me! I can help in this exploration¡­.¡± This made Cindy sigh and even place the tablet on the table ¡°Alright brother it was fine, but your condition was not great so just rest for now.¡± Rose look at Garen and suddenly touch a button below the table she then says ¡°Alright it was safe now¡­ don¡¯t worry about Janet she is my trusted aid¡­¡­ hum Janet was someone that sits beside you.¡± It was the first time Garen heard his big sis talk so much and it was just now that he know his secretary''s name was Janet¡­. Cindy looks at her big sis and big brother and keeps quiet! ¡°alright,¡± Garen can only nod. He stands up and summons Anne! He doesn¡¯t touch his phone at all as the first time he summons something, in this case, Anne he already makes some kind of connection with her. with this connection, he can summon and unsummon her freely, and it only effect something or someone that has already been summoned to this world by him before, if it was something that he never summon before he need to click on that summon button! As to why he chooses to directly summon Anne and not just keep quiet and use a roundabout way like meeting her as a friend or something like that It is useless! as it seems her big sister will go on exploration in just a few days or even tomorrow! With that, a white particle starts to gather in front of Garen and this makes the people in the dining room look at it in shock! Soon Anne appeared! Cindy suddenly shout! ¡° Summoning! You awaken your ability! And can even summon a human! No one ever summons another human!¡­¡­ hum sorry¡­.¡± But this time even Rose look at it with interest¡­ and asked ¡°How long she can stay? and how powerful is she ?¡± Anne look at these two girls that look similar to her boss and thought that she is the one that was being asked so she reply in a small voice ¡°Hi I am Anne, umm it up to the boss to make me stay or not right ?¡± Anne looks at Garen, she looks like a kind and shy girl next door¡­. this makes his two sisters worry a bit, maybe they even have a thought in their head like ¡®Is she trust reliable? In terms of the power of course¡­¡¯ Garen can only sigh ¡°Don¡¯t worry she looks like this but she is powerful! Just she needs some armor..¡± This time Rose looks at this young girl in more detail ¡°We have equipment for her so what was your weapon, Anne ?¡± This makes Anne rise her mace¡­ but when they see the mace Cindy''s eyes start to brighten! ¡°It was a good mace! The craftsmanship was great and it material was rare! Can I take a look at it? Oh, I am Cindy by the way and she is my big sister Rosaline just call her Rose!¡± Cindy point at Rose and Garen even don¡¯t know if she is allowed to let other call her big sis nickname¡­ Anne look at the small Cindy and say ¡° Hi¡­¡± and hesitate a bit ¡°Sure but be careful it was heavy..¡± with that she bent down and give her the mace. But surprisingly Cindy can lift it and inspect it like it was a toy¡­. Rose looks at them and says ¡°Let¡¯s have a test first before deciding anything¡± With that they walk out of the dining room. They did not go to do some tests first, they come inside a room and do something, soon her big sis call their private doctor to come inside the room. This made Garen sigh, he remember Anne was resting as she got injured in the dungeon earlier, maybe it was the reason. When they come out Anne Coarse clothing already changed to a modern sports set... Now no one knows she is not part of this world society¡­ Rose then says ¡°Alright let¡¯s go.¡± with that all of them walk toward a special room inside this mansion! Ch 7 Anne the Destroyer Currently, they already walk inside that special room, it was specially built to withstand ability users and was costly... There are a few mannequins to test the ability user''s destructive power, they have a few variations, from white paint, green paint, blue, then red. Janet then starts to explain ¡°This one was to test the ability user''s range of power, there is no accurate measurement for an ability user that has a special ability, but for the common one humanity already has a standard measurement.¡± ¡°this one was to test destructive power, as long as one can make a dent in this white measure device they are eligible to be a novice Adventurer, this adventurer will be allowed to explore easy dungeons but needs to do so in teams, they are forbidden to do that alone as it was the same as suicide.¡± ¡°for this green one, if someone can make a dent in this mannequin, they will become an official adventurer that was allowed to enter medium difficulty dungeon¡± ¡°the blue one was designed for Advanced Adventurers and these people were allowed to enter hard-difficulty dungeons, the red one was for experts that can handle Hell Dungeon, the hardest difficulty for now.¡± ¡°of course, in general, monster power was related to dungeon size, but one must remember that the size of the dungeon can''t always correspond with monster power, sometimes big dungeons only have weak monsters, and sometimes small dungeons were hell on earth! ¡± ¡°The only way to know about each dungeon''s difficulty was to enter inside first as no device can transmit any data to the other side, the current device can only measure the scale of a dungeon by detecting a massive amount of mana being transmitted from dungeon entrance¡± ¡°Now let¡¯s try to test your power!¡± Janet said this to Anne and so Anne start to walk toward a white mannequin. Of course, she does not use her mace, as weapons can be a factor that affects the result, so she uses standard mace that designs to show the most power of each participant! After she walked toward the white mannequin she hesitated a bit and ask ¡°Did I need to pay if I broke this ?¡± Hearing this Janet can¡¯t say much as she doesn¡¯t want to take any risk and look at Rose for approval, seeing this Rose nods at her, then Janet let Anne try! Soon Anne starts to swing her mace! And ¡°Boom!¡± this white mannequin was destroyed to pieces¡­ the girls'' expression was a bit hard to describe¡­ as it left many sizes mannequin parts and debris.... what''s more, It was easy to make a dent but to destroy it like this? it was clear that this device was not for her! So she jumps rank and tries to smack a blue one! And not surprising she did make a large dent in it! This time the one that shocked was not the girls but Anne herself¡­. Maybe it was her first time to meet something that can withstand her blow! This result makes Cindy jump for joy! ¡°Great! Sister you are powerful!! ¡° Cindy can''t help but be excited as Anne was an advanced adventurer! Only a large guild can contract this kind of people! This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. This was the first time Garen see his big sister Rose smile! Rose looks at Anne as she looks at the treasure! Still, Garen say something ¡°Uhum.. her damage was high but¡­ she was not that durable¡­¡± Before he even finished Cindy already cut in ¡°It''s fine! It was called balance¡­ and it was normal! someone that has great destructive power tends to have lower defense and just like that, the one that has great defense usually can¡¯t easily kill a chicken!¡± of course, Cindy did not say that the chicken will run far away already before being attacked by this type of people.... But realizing she exaggerates a bit she fixes her sentence ¡°Uh well not really a chicken but anyway it means they have a weak damage to an enemy.¡± Anne look at her boss and look a bit sad¡­ This may be because his word was harsh¡­ ¡° uhum alright I am at fault here¡­ can you equip her with something that durable?¡± Garen can''t help but change their topic... This time it was Rose who say something ¡°Of course, it seems I need to delay this exploration for a few days more, I need to look for any suitable equipment for Anne.¡± Garen nodded but hearing his sisters assigning a room for Anne made Garen don¡¯t know what to say¡­ he can¡¯t say that he need to let her go inside his phone right? well, she needs to go inside his phone to work! but anyway it is not that important... as it will still be the same, she needs to rest for one day so it is not a loss at all... Garen comes back into his room to rest, this time he looks at his Gems, and he starts to count eating and testing Anne''s power needs for around three hours so his gems are now 1400! It was good to see his gems grow, now his current problem was will he sleep comfortably while holding his phone. maybe he can plaster his phone on his hand¡­ And he does that! Stuffing it in his pocket looks much more uncomfortable than this paster it in his hand... So it was a long night for Garen! as he found out that he can¡¯t sleep! Of course, he doesn¡¯t know how many hours pass as he still closing his eyes trying to sleep... After so long the world turns dark as he falls asleep, but soon there is a knock and a voice ¡°Young master time to have breakfast!¡± This makes him annoyed! But in the end, he sigh and woke up, then he look at his gems and found out it added 900 gems! it seems he needs to touch his phone from now on... whatever he does... He stands up and pockets his phone and relaxes his hand a bit¡­ as it was rather sore after all this time like that... After that he comes out and walks toward the dining room, this time aside from the usual people, Anne is eating with them! And it seems she enjoys her food! ¡°Anne eat slowly it''s not like there is no more food!¡± Cindy talks to Anne as she thought that Anne never eats something as delicious as this! ¡°oh sorry¡­ and thankyou¡­ I had never eaten something like this before, it was so delicious!¡± Hearing this Cindy starts to take pity on her ¡°Don¡¯t worry you can eat as much as you want from now on!¡± Cindy even looks at his brother¡­. Garen sighed and shrugged his shoulder ¡°Alright she will need to go back first¡­¡± Hearing this Cindy says ¡°Oh right I forgot she is a summoned creature¡­. brother you sure have a big mana reserve to make her able to stay here for a night! What''s more, you still look fine after all of this, hum it was suspicious¡­.¡± Cindy squints her big eyes... Garen can only smile and not say anything, luckily as they are with Anne here, Rose is already active that button to make their communication much more secure so it guarantees that at least not all their conversation is being leaked out! After eating he let Anne go back to her own ¡®world¡¯. As for Garen ? he still does his routine to walk in the park and attend common knowledge class. This time it talks about how to claim land¡­ ¡°Young master if by any chance you can conquer a land outside the human territory in the future, what you need to do was to occupy it first by fighting the original owner and standing guard on it until your territory was stable enough and not being attacked again..., if that requirement fulfilled you can claim it as your land by sending a proof by using this item!¡± Janet show him a tablet-like device that was much more sturdy looking, inside was a forum-like website. Many topics were pinned but it was more like a declaration! ¡°I Rodagard conquer this land as my own!¡± the one that was on the top was someone that claim land, and not only a text but a video of the surroundings can be seen and even the map where he is! ¡°Young master just remember that when you proclaim like this there is still danger! ¡°the current rule has some kind of loophole, and it can''t be fixed either.... when you proclaim a land it is not weird if suddenly a monster wave comes and kill you! what more do you need to stand guard for a week it was a long time... and that''s why many people that can claim land try to look for backers as soon as possible!¡± ¡°If some big nations are interested enough in your land and you agree with their condition, they can even send reinforcement! this will ensure your success defending that land!¡± ¡°but there is another problem, if there are small nations near your territory, well it''s not weird if there are accidents and a few days later unknown people try to claim that land¡­¡± ¡°Still someone that can conquer a land was not weak, they usually have their backing from the start or they are really powerful and have their own force¡± ¡°you need to know this because humanity encourages this and this was mandatory in school¡­ now let¡¯s start with the real basic common knowledge and it is related to your family situation.¡± Janet continue to explain what drove this society, and it was the dungeon business, any related business connecting to a dungeon and monster made so much profit! Silver Corporation was his Family corporation, they are the biggest corporation that operates on crafting equipment for the adventurer in this city! It was the main business that was left behind by their parents and only after Rose take care of this business did she slowly develop people and want to conquer the dungeon itself! It can be called expanding as to make adventurer equipment one needs monster material and this material can be found in the dungeon and monsters keep spawning over there so it is almost unlimited, of course with high risk. Many people try to speculate as to why they keep spawning in this so-called dungeon, some say it was because of the mana that start to condense this monster, and some say that it was because they are pulled there by some kind of force. Humanity still doesn¡¯t know any specific reason but it was more important to survive first! Ch 8 Preparation Janet continues to explain more about his family situation, this makes Garen understands why his sis wants to take down a dungeon so soon after buying it. first, it was much more profitable and secure to control all chains of production, which is the raw material, production, and finished product, Garen understand this too by operating his game shop, it was much more profitable by producing items on his own! But the main reason why they needed to do this quickly was that what she bought was the right of conquering a dungeon! As long as they can conquer it within a certain time limit this dungeon was theirs as long as they pay the tax after that. And they were given two-month time as it was the standard for conquering medium size dungeons. Of course, Rose already prepares a team to conquer this dungeon, and even send some scouts to look for the situation inside! Just she needs to make sure it will be successful and as an advanced adventurer, she needs to take the lead of this operation on her own! this dungeon''s difficulty was confirmed by the government as they already send some scouts first to measure this dungeon''s strength, this exploration was done to reduce casualties and set a price, the final result was out already and this medium size dungeon was at medium difficulty, so Rose concludes that she can conquer it within that time limit! And from the government information this dungeon was owned by a sub-race of the minotaur a hard-difficulty monster called Cowman¡­ well it was easy to name it, as it is a cow that walks with its hind legs, they look similar to a minotaur if not because of their skin color... it was white and black like a normal cow! of course, they are not as scary as minotaur! Their weapons were a big club and they do not have any armor but used an unknown animal''s skin as clothing, this Cowman can''t be underestimated tho as they are bigger and stronger than normal humans, and what more scary was they lived in a group! If you ever found one that means there are 6 more so it was a rather high risk among medium-difficulty dungeons. Rose''s strategy was rather simple, as an ice awakener, Rose can do some crowd control skills as long as there was someone that can kill this Cowman as quickly as possible before her spell effect is gone, this makes it easy! That is why when she meet Anne Cindy and Rose were so happy about it, as there are still certain risks in this strategy, there is another problem, in truth Rose was the highest ranking in this group! while the other was only an official adventurer! this makes it a rather hard fight as they need time to deal damage to this group of Cowman even though Rose''s group will certainly have more numbers it still worrying. But now it was easy and repetitive! what they need to do was to let Rose freeze any enemy they meet and Anne smash them, with this it was almost guaranteed to succeed! Of course, in premise if this dungeon is truly a medium difficulty dungeon as sometimes it was only on the surface, and when they reach the deepest part it suddenly skyrockets and becomes hell level difficulty dungeon! As for why the government did not scout it until the end? if they can reach the deepest part then it is just better to conquer it on their own rather than open it to auction! ¡°Young master, with the current history of dungeons it is not always as safe as it seems, sometimes even the one that already conquered and considered an easy dungeon can breed a terrifying monster!¡± Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. ¡°and it was the corporation or guild''s duty to inspect every dungeon that they own each week in case some scary monster spawns there.¡± ¡°alright it was deep enough as of now let''s just stop.¡± with that Janet stopped the lecture and Let Garen rest. As soon as he finished, he start to play with his old phone, Anne was already back after breakfast but he did not dare to show his phone in front of so many people¡­ so he just let it be and pocket it. so now he sends Anne to explore the cave again of course on easy difficulty! But now he was blinking as he can see Anne exploring a dungeon with that sportswear she wore before! She still swings her mace though, but this makes him know that if he can bring something out from that game, of course he can bring something in too! Now he thinks about how to let Anne have some more equipment and bring it back inside the game, and maybe he can sell real live weapons in his shop? what price it will fetch? Without thinking much Garen wants to try it! so he soon looks at his other set of clothes...but now there is a question, how did he send this set of clothes into the game world? The problem was he already sends Anne to explore¡­ and he doesn¡¯t know the consequences of summoning her right now. What if she brought back a monster into real life? it will be a really bad idea... With that Garen can only wait until Anne finished exploring and give him 13 iron ores which he made into 7 swords, this additional one because there are 1 iron ore left in his stock before and bring this 13 iron ore, soon he already sold all these swords! And soon he summons Anne. ¡°Bring this to our shop to display¡± With that Garen stuffed two sets of clothing, it was a rather comfortable wear, it was the less expensive looking one in his closet! Anne did not ask many questions and obediently bring these two set back! what Garen can see was there are two sets of clothing being displayed inside his shop! And these two sets of clothing attract some people to come into Garen''s shop! Soon a young man with coarse clothing and a dagger comes to his shop, he looks at this empty shop, he looks at the corner where two sets of clothing are being displayed, at first he frowns and touches one of this clothing, but after that, he quickly runs toward Garen and starts to ask about its price! ¡°Boss, how much is this ?¡± As the bubble to decide a price suddenly appeared Garen thought for a moment and decided to set it to 999.999.999 gold coins! The young man sighs ¡°Come on boss I know you like to joke around¡­ how about 100 ?¡± This makes Garen almost press accept! He thinks again and this time set it to 1000 gold coins, and as his response, the young man starts to frown. ¡°uhum boss, can you lower it a little? 300 ?¡± Then Garen set it to 800, and the young man sigh ¡° Alright boss it was 550 G and it was my last offer I don¡¯t have any more than that!¡± Seeing this Garen press accept! With that, the young man happily picks up one set and walks away! Soon another person come inside, it was a middle age man. he wore a full set of iron armor and look an experienced adventurer, he look at the only item being displayed and walk to Garen. ¡°Boss it was my son''s birthday tomorrow how much is this set ?¡± the middle age man asked. This time Garen knows the range so he set it to 1000 Gold coins in case this customer start to bargain¡­ And surprisingly he readily agrees! ¡°Alright, boss I will take it!¡± with that the middle-aged man comes to the table and pick one set! This makes Garen baffled¡­ so what was the real price? and soon he feels like he is being cheated on by that young man! But after thinking maybe it was because this middle-aged man was richer than the young man and he bought this for his son''s birthday so he did not think much about the price! to make sure, the next time he sells this item again he will use the 999.999.999 tactic to know the real price first. Garen then starts to focus on his current situation, he did not let Anne go exploring yet so he wants to let her explore but a knock can be heard. ¡°Young master, Anne''s equipment already arrive young miss Rose wants you to let her come and try it first! And if possible, do a dungeon test run today.¡± Luckily Garen still does not let Anne explore and can summon her right away! a few minutes later three people can be seen walking toward a training room, it was Garen, Anne, and Janet. Cindy and Rose already waiting there what more Rose was already fully equipped with her mage set and when Garen and the others arrive it was time for Anne to equip her armor set! Rose not only prepares one set but there are also two other sets to choose from! one was a light armor set consisting of leather armor he don¡¯t know what material it was but it was a scale armor. Before he can ask Cindy already start to explain these three sets! ¡°Alright so there are three sets of equipment, all of them were grade 3 armor it was enough to explore a medium-difficulty dungeon, the first one was scale armor made of giant lizard scale, it have a rather good defense but not a good armor for a tanker, you know the one that has a role to be beaten...¡± ¡°Next was heavy armor made of special amberime ore it was heavy yet can sustain damage!¡± ¡°the last one was a feather robe.. well it was made of a screaming bird, you know they are loud but their feather was durable and light, reserved only for speed type tho¡­¡± ¡°Sister Anne, you can try it all one by one and see if any of them can be comfortable enough to use.¡± after explaining Cindy let Anne try this armor one by one! And in the end, she can only use the scale armor as heavy armor was too heavy for her while the robe¡­ no one needs to explain anything. Rose prepare a shield for Anne as Anne''s defense was rather worrying with just a scale armor, so she let Anne equip a medium-type shield which was pretty durable for this dungeon run! Now Anne looks like a real novice adventurer! it means they can do this dungeon run test now! Ch 9 Test Run Now that they are ready it was time to do a test run! It is not a real dungeon exploration and their target for this was only to adapt to this dungeon environment and enemy. Garen, Rose, Cindy, Janet, and Anne walk outside of this mansion, when they arrive there are already two cars waiting and the driver opens the door for them. The driver looks just like a normal driver, they use a suit and black sunglasses... While the car design was futuristic, it still can¡¯t fly so they only use a normal land route to drive. Garen and Janet were in the same car, while the other three use another car that was in front of him. Garen can see Anne''s surprised expression from behind as they start their journey, it was her first time seeing something so different from her world.. well at least when she was inside Garen''s mansion it did not look so different, it only looks like a rather big palace..... in her imagination... Garen look around and it was surely futuristic but he did not place so much importance on that, he then feel bored and falls asleep after a few minutes..... soon he was woken up by his secretary and he look around. they already arrive at a barricaded place and soldiers can be seen everywhere, this soldiers was a mix of futuristic and medieval as some use rifles and some use swords and bows. Janet explain to him that soldiers will equip weapons and armor based on their ability. The one that use rifle was normal soldiers that have an ability that was not good on the currently known job set like a mage, warrior, and such so they can only use a rifle for fighting. And this rifle was only effective against easy monsters like goblins when it was already harder than this kind of monster it was useless, only specially made weapons can handle them, but here the problem it was cheaper to just made swords with that material than bullets and rifles. Their car start to enter inside the barricade and the soldiers not asked them much and only asked for their permit. Soon Garen can see a crack that spread on thin air the world, maybe it was what they call the dungeon portal.... when he sees it he has some feeling that it was similar to what swallows him! When the car stops Garen and the others come out of the car, and there are already many people fully geared waiting for them. Rose then starts to arrange something and these people start to walk toward the crack ¡°Alright, Cindy wait here with Janet we will go exploring soon!¡± Rose tells Cindy to stay outside, there are some makeshift buildings here to rest. As for Garen ? of course, he joins them in! As he was Anne''s summoner! It was weird if he can wait outside while Anne can still enter the dungeon, he remember that he is a ''summoner'' in front of his family... At least it was the norm of summoners from data being sent by his little sister, and they can¡¯t even summon this creature of another world for a long time like him! Garen equip his item on the car as it was only a light armor made of some leather and he use a sword for self-defense just in case, he will not fight there and only watch other people fight monsters. When he walks near Rose''s group of adventurers he can hear some people whispering¡­ and he knows that talk about him! ¡°sigh! will this kid make a mess later? why miss Rosaline let him join in¡­¡± ¡°shh.. let him be it''s not like there will be a problem with Miss Rosaline joining us right ?¡± If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. And so many other things¡­ Garen can only walk and listen, he can''t help but feel uncomfortable but still walk forward! After all members come they walked toward the crack! It was what they called a dungeon entrance, or some people just call it a portal! But before entering the dungeon, Rose tells her member about Anne and their strategy. ¡°This is Anne an Advanced Adventurer, I don¡¯t need to explain in detail as I will freeze that group of Cowman and Anne will kill them one by one, you all will attack another monster that she has not targeted.¡± Rose said while looking at them seriously while Anne give them a greeting shyly, Rose''s seriousness make them not say anything. Seeing Anne''s equipment they knew she is a brute type, it was rare for such a gentle-looking girl to be a frontline, what''s more she exuded a shy appearance.... it make others think that she was unreliable.... but they do not say a thing, Rose will not use a trick for this kind of introduction, which mean this shy looking girl was a much more powerful person than them! and even if it is fake what can they do? After that, they start to come inside the dungeon! Garen was in the back row as he don¡¯t want to stand out too much and he don¡¯t what to fight any monster as he can¡¯t! He can see people in front of him disappear into the portal and can¡¯t be seen again, he is a bit nervous as it was his first time, and what''s more there is that similar ''accident'' before. He doesn¡¯t know if the former ''him'' ever come inside a dungeon with this portal, but the current him has never done that so he walks slowly it takes time to come inside the crack... when he stepped inside he found out there was bright sunlight! It was pretty different from what he thought, when he looked around it was an open field. All in his sight was grassland, the tree was sparse and one can even see a group of Cowman! Without Rose''s command, the others already make battle formations and waiting orders. Soon the Billman see them and ''moo'' loudly then they raise their club and charge forward! Rose starts to raise her hands and a blue wave of energy starts to envelop her, soon when these Cowman come near them she unleashes her power! It was quick as soon as she unleash her power, everything in front of her started to freeze! Seeing this even without Rose''s command Anne already rush forward and smash this frozen enemy! what happened next was this frozen Cowman started to shatter to pieces! blood and flesh can be seen.... but Anne continues to look for another target. The other adventurers are not slow either they start to look for one that was not targeted by Anne and attack it together! But different from Anne''s crushing power, they only injure the Cowman and even help it shatter the ice! this makes them can move some of their body parts. Still being barraged by so much magic and arrow it still dies! This method was slow as Anne already crushes four more Cowman! A few minutes later the fight was finished, no more Cowman can be seen, only blood, melted ice, and corpses¡­ Different from the game this monster not disappeared and drop items, after the battle ended some people with knives and backpacks come forward and dissect the corpse! They can still salvage some material from the one that was killed by the group of adventurers, but the one that Anne killed, they can only sigh in regret as it shattered to pieces! After they gather what can be gathered, Rose then says ¡°Let¡¯s continue! Our goal was to claim this dungeon let''s just take whatever we can!¡± Hearing this the other nodded, it was not too late to gather material after claiming this dungeon! What''s more, after seeing Anne''s power with their own eyes, the other adventurer show much more respect toward her deep down, even though the enemy can¡¯t move it still shows her firepower! they have more hope of conquering this dungeon now! maybe it is even a guarantee! if they do a one-on-one battle with her, it was not hard to imagine being smashed by such a gentle-looking girl into a pulp¡­ Soon their journey continue, as it was a rather open area they can see the Cowman and likewise the Cowman can see them! With that, the battle continues as long as they meet any group of Cowman, like the first one before they are all crushed in a few minutes! Each Battle Rose takes so much toll on Rose and she always looks pale, and after every battle, she drinks a blue potion and this makes her look better and can continue forward! after another two more waves they rest as even Anne starts to look exhausted, while resting they start to eat and rest a bit longer, they need to take every battle seriously and this consumes so much of their stamina and focus. As Garen? eats some snacks on the back¡­. looks like a loner... But still, he was surprised at how powerful his sister is! Rose has a crazy crowd control skill and can even unleash it a few times after a short interval! She indeed needs to consume some potion that Garen expects to restore mana, Still even if she can only unleash her power once she will deal massive damage in a massive war. What''s more with the help of a potion maybe as long as there is stock left she can continue to deal massive damage! Of course, Garen did not know if this potion have something like a side effect or not, so it is not a great idea to do that as it is not even a popular tactic to use. He wants to check his shop but doesn¡¯t dare to show his phone in this crowd¡­ maybe he is overthinking but it was best to take a safe route. And yes he bring his phone this time as it needs to make contact with him to continuously produce gems. And what''s more, he doesn¡¯t know if there is someone that has a wild idea and stole his ¡®antique¡¯ item right? This fight only last for a few more waves and they start to walk back, today''s mission was to scout and not conquer. And maybe his sister wants to show off Anne''s power to make these people more confident with this operation, which looks like a big success. Soon after they come out of this dungeon, Cindy and Janet already waiting for them, it seems they really can¡¯t just relax enough while the other was inside. When stepped outside the dungeon Rose say, ¡°Rest well for today, tomorrow morning we will start to launch an actual operation!¡± Soon after the crowd starts to disperse except for Rose, Anne, and Garen, seeing this Janet and Cindy walk toward them. ¡°Sister Rose, how was it inside?¡± Cindy was the one that start to Conversation. ¡°it went well, we need to thank Anne for this, thank you to come with us!¡± Rose said while smiling at Anne. Hearing this praise Anne can only smile shyly and say ¡°Uhm thank you too¡­ I will try my best!¡± With that the girls start chatting while Garen was left behind, he can only sigh and make some excuses to rest. As the operation will be held tomorrow morning they all rest in this camp, it was not a comfortable place for him but it was good enough. Janet already tells him which one was his room so he walk there and rested, of course, when he come inside, he opens his phone and start to tend his shop! Ch 10 Black Market This whole Journey feel so long but in truth, it was only half a day, it was 2 PM now barely past noon. When Garen see his gems it was already raised by much! It is only six hours so he gets additional 600 gems in total he has 2,900 gems! He wants to save these gems to recruit a manager, so he let it be and focuses more on his gold coins, currently, he has 3,154 Gold coins and he starts to think about how to have additional money while Anne was outside¡­. in the real world. After fondling the game for some time he can only sigh, he remember that he doesn¡¯t have time to bring some modern items inside the game world, as Anne was outside now so no one can bring that..., still after looking he remember the village chief words In truth, he can explore the dungeon! But he was unarmed and well he don¡¯t know if his character can handle it, what more? what happened if his character died for real¡­. he start to think a bit, and decided he doesn¡¯t have any choice aside from buying an iron sword from that blacksmith to resell¡­ in real live reseller was a profitable business but here it sure profitable but not as satisfying as crafting items on one own! it was a game after all, nothing to lose and nothing urge him to do his best! he is not the type that crazy about achievement in a game or something like that. In the end, he buys 131 iron swords! If it was all sold out today he can have a profit of 786 gold coins! Soon he place it all on the table, the excess one was stored in the chest and automatically displayed if one iron sword was sold. Customers come and go, some was happy while some was annoyed! It was because Garen firmly reject any customer that bargained below 30 gold coins! As he was only a reseller his profit was low and he don¡¯t want to lose money anymore by following their demand... Anyway, 30 gold coins were the market price, well at least for him as the majority of customers still buy it at that price. This makes the item flow slowly and sure 131 iron sward was so excessive to begin with, but it was a game and well he doesn''t know if it was excessive or not! but in real life selling 131 iron swords in a day for a small village was almost impossible! But still, it was a game even though the flow was slow he still finish selling these 131 swords after he have dinner! After dinner Anne came with him as her room was just beside him, this was to make it look plausible that they come out together from the same building or Anne come out from the same direction as him! Well in truth all of the Garen Family and even Janet plus Anne was in the same building, it was to make a good enough excuse if some people sneak in and see their room layout, they can see Anne and Garen were near, just in case... who knows right? And to make it more real Cindy will sleep with Garen in case Anne suddenly goes out of Garen''s room it will still look suspicious... right? But what if Cindy accompanies Anne? then at least it looks like Anne accompanying Cindy to meet her brother. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. As for the reason? kids can have so many excuses and leeway to use, even though she is already in middle school well she is still a kid here.... Cindy herself still playing with Anne in her room, Garen doesn¡¯t know what they talk about and he doesn¡¯t care. Soon after Garen was tired of selling all these 131 iron swords, so he left his phone and try to rest, seeing his sister and Anne combine power it looks like a smooth journey tomorrow! But then he sigh, he doesn¡¯t think that it will be just like that. if not, this kind of dungeon can easily be conquered by others with a limited number of people, and they will not let other groups take it... Soon he thought about his city''s power structure, maybe advanced adventurer was rare in this City but he doesn¡¯t believe that no group doesn''t have any power to have at least some advanced adventurer, maybe they even have a special team on this level. He remembers Janet saying that White Corporation was not originally run this kind of business... so it can affect many other factors, he can¡¯t tell if others just feel this newbie can¡¯t conquer that dungeon and just waste money, or because there are too few groups that can pay more than two advanced adventurers, and there is another factor, that was his sister and Anne''s power was so strong and compatible to conquer this dungeon¡­ In the end, he lacks common knowledge about his surrounding¡­. Garen can only sigh and not think much about it but he still wants to prepare some item in case of emergency but he doesn¡¯t know what it will be¡­ With that he looks at the village on his phone, there are blacksmiths and other buildings.. he looks around and his eyes land on the black market! The one that was feared by the village chief! ¡°Maybe there is something good there? I never even go to other buildings¡­.¡± Garen can¡¯t help but think like this. He clicks on this black market and he can see a rather scary-looking adventurer with scars everywhere open the door. ¡°Welcome! You look new huh! Come and see maybe you can get something good.¡± This Adventurer welcomes him and lets him in, soon he can see what was inside this building, it is not as scary and shabby as he thinks! It was rather normal, just like a normal shop! There are counter, many shelves with weapons and potions, there are even scrolls being displayed! The adventurer closes the door and does not say anything again, but soon an old man with rather expensive-looking clothing comes from somewhere and walks toward the counter. ¡°Welcome young man! I assume you are our new friend as I have never seen you before! So what do you need? We can give you anything you want! As long as you can pay of course.¡± the man said. Soon a text bubble appeared and Garen can write what he look for, this make him think as he doesn¡¯t know what to look for! In the end, he just writes ¡°Anything for a dangerous situation.¡± then press ok. Soon the old man says ¡°Hum for dangerous situation huh, it depends on one situation, but let''s see¡± With that he walks out from his counter to a shelf and starts to introduce his item! He pick out a bottle of potion, it was dark green in color and he start to explain ¡°This is a highly corrosive liquid, it can be used to critically damage your enemy.¡± He places it back and continues to explain another item, this time he takes out a dark red potion and says ¡°If you have other people on your team let them drink this! With this he starts to turn berserk and not afraid of death! Just make sure to play dead after giving them this.¡± He continues to explain more items, poison daggers, or just lethal poison liquid, hidden weapons, and even¡­. ¡°alright, this one has a wide range of prices depending on your choice, if you just want a meat shield then I can recommend a few that are cheap!¡± the old man said proudly. Yes, it was the slaves¡­ a human being! Well, it is not just humans... there are many other fantasy races! ¡°if you just want to use some sacrifice then they are good enough.¡± what Garen saw was a thin-looking people. ¡°They are slaves that sold themself here for many reasons, you can use them to do anything you want.¡± The old man tells him some tips ¡°Alright let''s continue, look over here! If you want to have some muscle to use, this can be your choice! they are barbarians! no, it was not a job, they are a race!¡± ¡°They look like humans but not really, they have a great body, and can even lift heavy weapons but rather have a bird of a brain, still they are big so they can be a distraction sometimes.¡± ¡°My suggestion was to use them as your uh, meat shield or just labors, still it was a waste to use them as labors they are born warriors so you don¡¯t need to worry about their combat ability!¡± the old man said proudly. ¡°If you want someone agile then I can recommend you a few more.¡± With that, the old man shows him a few more ¡®goods¡¯ such as elves, dwarves¡­ well he has many collections! This makes Garen blink, it was his first time seeing a real scene of slavery¡­ It was a game but somehow it feel too real¡­ In the end, when he passes by a cage he can hear a voice! ¡°mister! mister! choose me!¡± A young voice can be heard, Garen looks at the scene and it was a young boy in a cage, he has green hair and eyes, and look at him excitedly... Seeing this the old man sigh ¡° uhum young man don¡¯t think too much, even though he looks like a kid he is not! He can be even older than you by many decades! well, They were known as Ashtari the forest spirits¡­¡± ¡°uh well this spirit was not like elves, in truth Ashtari was the race name and the forest spirit was his title, or rather he was born from the forest. ¡°to make it simple Ashtari was what they called in their race language and our in terms it was spirits! Let me show you some other spirits.¡± the old man then pointed at another cage. Soon he can see many children¡­. well now that Garen looks at them more clearly he can even understand that they are not normal human kids. They have a wide range of hair and eye colors, green, blue, red, silver, black, and so on¡­¡­ Alright, it is not rare for humans to have weird hair color as his hair in real life was silver, and have red eyes. But what if their hair and eyes glow? Yes, their hair color was glowing brightly! Like some kind of aura being seen with the naked eye¡­ it was spectacular to see this! Ch 11 Daughter The boy that call him before was a forest spirit, it was apparent as his hair and eyes color was green and it was glowing with a light green color! He look at the other kids, they were all glowing and even the black hair was glowing with a tinge of red! Each of these kids has a different personality, the one that calls him looks like the most active one. He keeps saying something like he is useful and cheap.. and so on¡­. Garen can only sigh, in real life, he has never seen slavery.... of course, workers that being underpaid were common in his place....and he is curious how these spirits got captured and even have a wide range of colors¡­ well maybe it is called elements? so it was not an easy job to capture all of them! And don¡¯t usually forest elements related to calm and soothing? the active one was the red right ? he look at the red one. It was a young girl, she sure look fiery and pout already¡­ But after observing these ¡®kids¡¯ he then realizes that they act like real kids¡­¡­ even though they are old he doesn¡¯t think that they are reliable! But still, he asked the price... well he can¡¯t as there are no bubbles so he click on a cage, it was a young girl with light blue color and eyes. Soon after the old man''s eyes shine and say ¡°Young man good choice! This one was an ice spirit! She has a powerful crowd-control spell! If it was a large-scale battle she will shine!¡± With that, the old man continues ¡°As for the price 10.000.000 Gold coins will be enough! Hearing this Garen in real live curse! Don¡¯t that green boy say he is cheap¡­ well maybe it was just him? With that, he clicks on that green boy, the old man sigh and says ¡°he is 8.000.000 Gold coins!¡± Garen shake his head in real life but the green boy was shouting enthusiastically! ¡°see! I am cheap! come just pay already!¡± he even shakes the cage¡­.. Garen sighed and press the door so he goes to another place, seeing this the boy sigh ¡°haa not again¡­ maybe next time I need to act like a cute kid? hum....¡± He doesn¡¯t have a choice as he doesn¡¯t even have 10.000 gold coins.. what more than 10.000.000 gold coins? it was crazy... When seeing he left the old man sighed and follow suit. But Garen is still curious about the price of these ''slaves'' so he presses some cage every time he walks, and the old man keeps explaining excitedly! Now he can draw some conclusion that the deeper he went the higher the price! Barbarians was 10.000 Gold coins as for the thin slaves? they were cheap only 100 Gold coins! But Garen doesn¡¯t think much about this as these people will be useless and just become a burden for now.... he doesn¡¯t even know if it was good to have slaves¡­. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Maybe it was better to recruit adventurers on the inn¡­ This made him realize something why doesn¡¯t he just recruit an additional adventurer? if they have one more person as strong as Anne then don¡¯t it will be great? But he doesn¡¯t know if he will be lucky as he knew that Anne was special but not the others... Well, maybe there are some, it will surely be hard to look for someone at the same level as Anne, or maybe they are just expensive to recruit! He just walks straight out of the black market and goes to the inn to recruit one, but first, he needs to know if there is any price to pay to have an additional adventurer! With that he looks around and found a slot for an additional adventurer, it cost 1000 gold coins! As he has the money he adds it straight away! Soon his gold coins were deducted by 1000 gold coins and become 2940 Gold coins! With this, he can recruit one additional adventurer! The next slot needs 10.000 gold coins but it seems not needed now. Garen then confidently walked toward the inn and tap on the innkeeper! This buffy old man then asks him ¡°Oh you come here! Did you need an additional adventurer so soon? just tell me the budget!¡± With that a text bubble appeared and he can put some numbers, with that he just choose all of his current gold coins as these numbers. 2.940 gold coins! Then he chooses to confirm. Soon the old man start to think. ¡°well-seasoned adventurers will not be interested in this but many newbies will go crazy, still I will choose some that was the best for you!¡± With that, a few panels appeared and he can choose one of them! [name: Adventurer 1 ] [Job: Mage ] [price: 2.500 ] [name: Adventurer 2 ] [Job: Warrior ] [price: 2.500 ] [name: Adventurer 3 ] [Job: Archer ] [price: 2.500 ] [name: Adventurer 4 ] [Job: Thief ] [price: 2.500 ] Well they were all were standard jobs so Garen not interested, seeing that Garen does not choose for so long suddenly the innkeeper say something ¡°Oh right, I forgot! If you have gems you can participate in this event!¡± With that, the panel disappeared and a box appeared, inn keeper continue to explain, ¡°Well it was for fun but I must say young man don¡¯t get addicted to this! It can ruin your lives! Gems were precious and many cried after losing them all!¡± ¡°oh right I forgot to explain.. uhum so this box has cards inside, it was created with high-level magic so it will randomly spew out cards five times! you can pick one of these cards and someone that has its information inside will be recruited by you! ¡°only gems were accepted! It was 1.000 gems for each draw, kid remember my advice!¡± The innkeeper was excitedly explaining this and still give him advice, but Garen sigh as it was a gacha system! He is not good with this¡­ But this make him hesitate, one thousand gems was not expensive for him as he can get that much by waiting for ten hours! Still, it will delay his time to get a manager¡­.. he sigh and thinks about this offer¡­. But soon he decided to just try, a manager was not as important as one life right? who knows what will happen tomorrow? So he relaxes his body, closes his eyes a moment, and pressed draw! Soon the box starts to shake and even rotate a few times at high speed! A few seconds later it stop rotating and spew five cards on the table! And five ??? mark card appeared on his screen. Garen looks at these five cards and sigh, he just randomly presses one of these cards! Soon that card turns over and he can see a photo and some description! It was a middle age man wearing adventurer leather armor with a sword and shield, his description was [name: Adventurer ] [Job: Warrior ] This makes Garen sigh and think luck was really bad¡­.. but this makes him look at his current gems 2600 gems, he sighs and can draw two more times! He decided to try one more time! With that the box starts to rotate again and stop, it spews five cards and Garen chooses again! This time it was a young man with leather armor he draw a bow, and his description was: [name: Adventurer ] [Job: Archer ] Garen sighed¡­ he look at his gems and he can draw one more time, the last one¡­ if this was another failure he waste so many Gems! Indeed, he only needs time to recover this amount of gems¡­ still, it hurt a bit right? it''s like he wastes so many gems on gambling.... He start to think and sigh in the end he decided to try one more time! Gambling was really bad... if not because of his power to keep getting gems he will not do this¡­ The box rotating and spewing this time Garen looks at each card for a moment to feel if there is any luck today! Soon he chooses a card on the most right! When it turn over Garen can see an image, it was another young girl or rather a kid¡­.. she have dark red hair and eyes, and she wore matching dark red clothing plus a dark red robe, her description was : [name: Lila ] [Job: Lava Spirit ] This makes Garen look at her description a few more times, he don¡¯t know if it was a high-grade job or not, but the job name was something else¡­. Did she the same as that ¡®spirits¡¯ race? if she is the same he suddenly got 10.000.000 gold coins worth of recruit! But seeing her hair and eyes makes him calm down a bit, it glows but not as brightly as the one he sees before. The old innkeeper was shocked when he see his card! ¡°oh! Kid, you''re lucky huh!? With just three tries you got a good one!¡± ¡°Lila come here your dad is waiting!¡± the innkeeper shouts. But what he shouts makes Garen have a confused expression, whose dad? Where is he? Soon a little girl in red comes from a door¡­. she walks toward them and looks at Garen with a pout ¡°Dad you took so long to pick me up! hum!¡± This makes Garen even more confused! When he has a daughter? wait he is still barely an adult in this world! Ch 12 Dungeon Run But soon Garen can hear a burst of wild laughter ¡°Bwahahaha! Don¡¯t worry kid, how can you have a daughter as big as her at this age? it was her requirement when she got chosen... well, she did not get chosen at all for so long!¡± Lila still pouting but doesn¡¯t know what to do next¡­. ¡°uhum alright let me introduce you, this is Lila, a newborn lava spirit! I don¡¯t know if you know about these spirits but the newborn was not that strong compared to an adult.. err it applies to any race right?¡± the old man explained. ¡°well spirits were born from elements of the world so they usually don''t really go far from their birthplace, sometimes one or two spirits become an oddball and wander around the world! I don''t know about her past but as she is here now we can say that she is that rare oddball! and maybe she wanders into society too much and wants to have a ¡®normal family¡¯ like them¡± The old man shrugs his shoulder. Garen can only nod in real life, he is almost shocked by this ¡®daughter¡¯ of him..... Still, the old man continues to say ¡°Well anyway you can recruit her to be your adventurer, even though she is a newborn she is still strong in dealing damage!¡± With that a skill tree can be seen, the first one already unlocked and when he sees it he can¡¯t help but nod. [Lava balls] [Throwing lava balls toward enemies, have high damage!] this description was short but imagine being thrown with a ball made out of lava.. even if one was just scratched by this lava ball, it will be hurt a lot! A normal human was guaranteed to have a miserable life! In some sense, it was much more powerful than fireballs¡­. All of this was what Garen thinks as he still doesn¡¯t know the real ability yet, he then looks at this little girl on his screen. after that dialog, this little girl and the old innkeeper did not talk anymore. After thinking for a moment he decided to test this girl''s power! First, he needs to gear her up a bit right? he doesn''t need to look at his inventory and blueprint as he doesn''t have any that are related to magic equipment! well even if there is one he doesn''t have the materials... So he walked toward another building, it was the black market! That black market old man still greets him excitedly as if nothing happened¡­. maybe window shopper was a normal thing or it was just a game... And just like that, he asks ¡°What do you need young man ?¡± This time Garen specifies ¡°Magic weapons for a fire mage, price around 2940 Gold coins¡± Well he doesn''t know any specific about magic weapons so he just hopes there is one here! The old man brings him to a shelf, there are a few wands and the old man picks up a small red wand and explains. ¡°This is the beginner fire mage wand for the price, well it was 3000 gold coins but as it was your first purchase I will let you have it with your number 2940 gold coins! Do you want to take it ?¡± the old man said. On Garen''s screen, a panel appeared and he can choose to accept or reject this offer, still, he think that it was fine. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. this will consume all his money but he can gather some more by sending Lila to explore and craft one on his own right? Soon he accept this offer and his gold coins were gone and become zero! When he opens his inventory there is a small wand on it, he quickly chooses to open the adventurer menu and assigns this wand to Lila. Her equipment was gone and only her clothing was there, even her robe was gone. after Garen assigns that small wand to Lila, at least she has a weapon to fight! soon after Garen click on the exploration menu and let Lila explore the cave! The screen changed and he can see Lila exploring the cave, she pick a random ore laying around and after a few times, she found her first opponent! Of course, it was the goblin, and when she see this monster she quickly throw a lava ball! It was rather different from the fireball, it have a dark red color and look rather solid! When she threw this lava ball it hit the goblin in the head¡­ What happened next was something else, Garen expect this goblin to die, but its screaming and rolling on the ground! Its scream was really something! it screams out with all its power!... this makes Garen pity that monster... after a few more rolls it stops moving and dies... Soon after a new goblin was found by Lila smacked it with a lava ball! Garen can only watch these goblins scream in agony the whole time¡­.. What''s more, it reminds him of Anne, from this fight Anne and Lila''s level can be said not too far but Anne can end these goblins painlessly and quickly, while Lila? She is just a bit weaker, but sure enough, the pain was something else! Even if she struck a goblin on its leg, it can only scream in agony and roll around touching its leg... they did not even have any idea to fight back! In the end, the goblins still die full of agony, So it can be said a rather easy fight! maybe in another game, there is a pain debuff or something like that! After some time Lila come back from her exploration and bring back 12 iron ore, with this Garen can craft 6 iron sword! And with that, Garen display 6 iron swords in his small shop, it was rather fast to sell these 6 iron swords and his gold coins were added by 180 Gold coins! Next Garen can only rest for the day, it was night already and he keep playing with his phone there was a problem that he need to think about. if by any chance Cindy comes inside and sees him playing on this kind of phone he doesn''t know what to say, so he can¡¯t take the risks. But now he blinks and thinks ¡°How can I hide the phone when Cindy sleep in the same room as me?¡± of course there is two bed here in his room. He doesn¡¯t have a choice but put his phone in his pocket¡­. he hopes nothing goes wrong¡­ Soon after Cindy comes inside the room with Anne, as Cindy thought Garen needs to reserve some mana for tomorrow''s battle so she brings Anne here to be sent back by Garen, and she knows that to summon Anne Garen needs to spend mana! With that, Anne was summoned back into ¡®her world¡¯ while Cindy sleep on another bed, as she said she want to rest. Today Garen tries to sleep with his phone in his pocket for the first time! This makes him a bit more uncomfortable¡­. Still, in the end he falls asleep and soon he feels something shaking him up! it was Cindy that woke him up... ¡°wake up! It was time!¡± Cindy keeps shaking Garen and Garen can¡¯t help but rub her head! ¡°Alright, I am awake. I will summon Anne first..¡± still on his bed Garen summons Anne! After that Anne and Cindy just walk out of the room and Cindy seems excited to see Anne again¡­ While Garen still lazily wakes up and does his morning activity¡­. he needs to take a shower and other things. After feeling refreshed Garen walks outside to see that the others already waiting for him! They not grumbling as Rose and Anne were there but some looked annoyed! Garen sighed he was not even being told the time to gather right? With that Garen walked toward them and stay at the very back, this time not only the number of people was much more than before, but some also even look like weak people that only lightly equipped and brought more than two bags. As the dungeon was wide it need time to kill their way in! So food and daily necessity were needed. Garen can even see some cars ready to follow them from behind! Different from the car that they use before this one was a bit old-fashioned and more durable looking like a military vehicle in Garen''s original world. Well, as to why not these people place their bags into the car? it was better to place your eggs into different baskets, right? if the enemy destroys the cars they still have some with them to last a few more days, this was because a car was not as flexible as people and they are big so can be easily targeted by monsters! With that, the real expedition started! They come slowly toward the crack and disappeared one by one, Garen soon disappeared too followed by the cars. Soon Garen can see Rose and the others start to fight! This time a group of Cowman coincidentally appeared near them and start to charge forward! Rose still freeze them and Anne smash them one by one! Other adventurers start to fight while logistic units just stay where they are or move a bit farther from this battlefield. It was another easy fight, Anne and Rose''s combination were too strong in this dungeon! Well maybe because they are a high-level player doing lower-level player dungeons if this was a game. in truth, these two girls are the ones that carry these noobs to conquer a dungeon! This time they walk toward a certain direction, they walk straight so they will come toward the core sooner or later. This battle is still the same as before not really interesting and rather boring, this makes some adventurers start to enjoy this exploration! It can be considered easy money for them, still as a professional, some people are as focused as ever, they only have a thought that danger can come anytime! Each people have a different personality so Rose herself can''t control this, still as adventurer they know that this was only the beginning and will be serious later. With that wave after wave of Cowman being eliminated by Rose and Anne, while they play important roles, this makes them tired easily. They will rest after a few waves of monster attack and continue to walk forward! Still only depending on two people was a huge burden for these two! So after a few more times of rest, they still look tired and decided to rest a bit longer. Garen knows that this was not an optimal way of conquering a dungeon! Ch 13 Forest of beginning Garen can see the expressions on these adventurers'' faces; they thought this dungeon run would be a quick way to make money, which it was, but it harmed their pride as adventurers because they couldn''t contribute much! They Rely on just two people while they are merely a support, as for Garen? they do not think he is here to help at all¡­ If they had a good team with a fairly balanced level of adventurers, they could easily conquer this dungeon, but in Rose''s party, there were only two high-level adventurers with a large number of lower-level adventurers, so these official adventurers can only help a little. In the end, they rest for the day and set up a camp at this point! Rose and Anne can''t fight anymore or their performance may drop tomorrow, so they decided to just stop. Garen couldn''t use his phone because he was in a tent with Rose and Anne... or maybe he can just do that? Not everyone will associate his summoning powers with his phone! But because this phone''s design was so eye-catching as it was like an antique for people here.., so he must find a way to modify this phone''s outer appearance so that it would blend in with this world''s norm. He sighs as to why he did not think about this before! As a result, he is currently unable to even touch his phone..... He looks at Rose, who appears to be exhausted, and wonders if he can sneakily play with his phone while she sleeps later! Sure enough Rose already fall asleep a few minutes later! Garen quickly opens his phone and sends Lila to explore the cave first as he needs the ore to make money. He expects that no enemies will attack them so soon after they fight the last battle, so he is at ease when he sends Lila away, now he looks at his current gems! It was only four hours so his gems were added by 400 gems. this was also proof that this dungeon raid was rather hard with just two people, it was only four hours and they were already this exhausted. What Garen can do was just follow along, what''s more, there are still two months until the time limit so there is no need to rush things right? Of course, it was for Garen, for his sister only two months was not enough! She needs to plan here and there, execute her strategy, gather money and personnel to do exploration, and so on. What''s more, a dungeon will re-spawn some monster every midnight so tomorrow a few groups that they killed will come alive again and so they need to kill them once again! that''s why conquering a dungeon is hard¡­ they need manpower, money, and time! Sometimes later Lila comes back from exploring and brings 14 iron ore for Garen, which he crafted into 7 iron swords and display it in his shop! With this, he received 210 gold coins, bringing his total gold coins to 390. Garen then wonders when he can obtain another blueprint... it was so profitable! It seems that only fighting the boss can give him blueprints! But it was not possible for him, Anne can¡¯t even fight well against a group of hobgoblins she got wounded by them and need to rest for a whole day. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. Maybe if he sends Anne and Lila together, they''ll make something different! Furthermore, doesn''t Anne have equipment from his sister? That Hard difficulty cave must be easier to conquer with that! But he overlooks something... isn''t there another dungeon called the Forest of the Beginning? Perhaps he can get some new blueprints there! He needs to wait for Lila to rest for an hour, after she rests enough Garen sends her to the Forest! Soon a panel appeared and he can see what was inside this forest! It appears to be a typical forest that can be found everywhere, after walking a bit Lila found and gathers wood that was on the ground. Sometimes later she meets a deer that is typical deer, not a monster, and she kills it easily! Different from a monster, this deer suddenly turn bright after being killed and one cleanly processed leather was what was left behind! after a few minutes, he found another deer and kill it, a few seconds later she found a red plant that look like herbs in games and pick it up, what appeared on the panel was herb +1! With that, this journey continues but finally, she meets a monster! Different from the cave that has goblins, this dungeon has a log that can bite¡­ it looks like treant from games but is small and more like a log that jumps and bites here and there...... Its height was just as big as goblins which means the same height as Lila! And maybe because Lila''s lava element has a restraint effect on this kind of monster this made Lila fight much easier! With just a few one hit of lava ball that treant already screaming and look starts to burn! In the end what last was only ashes¡­.. Lila''s journey went so smoothly that no problem appeared at all! In the end, she brought back 6 wood, 4 herbs, and 3 leather, it was rather diverse not like the cave which only have iron ore. it was diverse but made the material he gathered for each type low, but Garen did not think much as he can¡¯t even craft anything with this material! Maybe he can sell it later or just stock it in case he got a blueprint that needs this material to use, after thinking for some time Garen decided to just stock up for now, it is not too late to sell it in case of emergency! After Lila rests at the inn he continues to let Lila explore the forest! This happened two more times and got him another 14 Wood, 7 Herb, and 5 leather! When he send Lila on another expedition he was shocked to find something! It''s not a boss but Lila starts to grumble¡­ While pouting she sigh and say ¡°Dad was so cruel to let a small girl like me do a hard labor¡­ alone at that¡­.. I must ask for a full pack of candy from him later!¡± She raises her small fist and pouts again. Still, she continues to explore and gather material while killing monsters, but this makes Garen sweat so much in real life! ¡°Did I overwork her ¡­.. uhum maybe it was true.. err alright it''s true let''s give her some candy later¡­¡± Garen shakes his head but now he found out that inside the game they still have some kind of morale so if he does something that makes them upset they will surely be upset. He doesn¡¯t know what will happen if he makes them angry, at most they just left right? right? Soon Lila comes back from exploring and this time Garen does not let her go again¡­. Lila gives her material to Garen and he just let it stock up again. Garen then let Lila rest for real this time! But something makes him have a headache now¡­. Lila asks him for a pack of candy! A panel appeared and told him about Lila''s words ¡°Dad I want to eat candy! I am a good girl for today so give me one full pack!¡± Even though it is just a text he can imagine Lila saying this while pouting! He shakes his head as he doesn¡¯t have candy here¡­ There is a small panel that he can use to write the text so he tells Lila "uhum, I don''t have any candy now, but I promise you two packs later!" What Lila respond was something else ¡°Hum! Then let''s go sightseeing! I did not see any customers today in the shop¡­ so can we ?¡± Garen can Imagine Lila pouting and then asking him with her big and watery eyes¡­ this makes him sigh. it''s not like he doesn''t want as maybe it is true that there is no customer today. but the problem is he doesn''t know how to go with Lila in that world! It was not until a panel appeared that he can¡¯t help but blink as it was the first time a creature from his game asked personally to be summoned! [Lila the lava spirit wants to be summoned] [Accept] [Reject] Garen thinks for a while and doesn¡¯t know what to do! If he rejects will Lila get angry? If he Accept what will happen as his big sister was here and Anne was in a daze in her sleeping bag¡­ he doesn''t know what to say if they found another person suddenly appearing! In the end, he just sighs and will say his power was upgraded or maybe just say he can summon additional creatures if a certain requirement is successfully fulfilled. In the end, he still presses Accept! Soon a bright light appeared and a small girl can be seen, her hair was glowing dark red and her eyes too¡­. This makes Garen now think about how to conceal it¡­. as she does not look like a human at all! well, at least it was rather hard to do that... When Lila fully materialized she quickly comes to him and hugs him! ¡°Dad! Where is this? I thought we were in the shop¡­¡± Lila looks at her surrounding in confusion! Luckily there are only Anne and Rose here¡­ Anne was attracted by the sudden light and voice so she already walked toward him and as her big sister? She stares at him now¡­ ¡°uh¡­ well we are at the dungeon now¡­¡± Hearing this Lila pouted ¡°Hum! In the end we got back to do that again!¡± but still she look around curiously as there are now two young women coming toward her. Seeing this she can¡¯t help but say while blinking ¡°Dad, which one was my mom? or it was two moms?¡± Garen can¡¯t help but twitch¡­¡­ ¡°Uhh no they are not.. this one was my big sister and the other one was the same as you, an adventurer!¡± Hearing this Lila can¡¯t help but sigh in disappointment, ¡°So when did you get me a mom ?¡± This makes Garen sigh as now her sister already staring at him in some new light¡­¡­ Well yes, she is staring at him¡­¡­ Ch 14 Lila the Lava Spirit Garen can¡¯t help but explain ¡°Uh this is not like what you think¡­¡± but her sister only nods. Lila looks at Rose and says ¡°Oh hello Aunt! I am Lila!¡± she smiles widely when she introduces herself. Rose blink a few times and nod ¡°Alright come here Aunty have a gift.¡± with that Rose take out a candy¡­. Seeing it Lila''s eyes start to shine ¡°Wow thank you, aunt¡­¡± .... ¡°Rose.. just call me Rose¡± Rose introduce herself to Lila. Anne is still quiet in the back but it seems she still comes forward and introduces herself ¡°Hi Lila... I am Anne¡­ boss Garen first Adventurer!¡± Anne doesn¡¯t know what to say so she can only do this. Lila was not a bad girl so she respond excitedly ¡°So you are my senior, it¡¯s great!¡± Anne doesn¡¯t have any gift so she can only open her arms wide¡­¡­ but soon Lila moves toward her and hug her tightly! This makes Garen don¡¯t know what to say¡­. Soon after they start to chat and Garen was left behind, he does not even have enough time to explain something¡­ Garen can only sigh and hide his phone in his pocket, hopefully, his sister is not noticing this junk of a phone¡­ After some time it was time to eat so some logistic unit come and distribute their food! Rose and Anne come outside to bring four packs of food. Of course, Rose did not just eat them straight, she used a needle-like item to poke each food and then nodded toward the others. Garen doesn''t know much about this world but he can understand that she is checking if there was any poison in their food. As a big corporation of course they have some enemies, even if they never provoke them before some people will still have an interest in something that maybe they possess and they don¡¯t know, so just in case right? With that, they start to eat, as Lila and Anne eat their eyes were shining! ¡°Oh wow, it''s delicious! Aunty, what was this ?¡± Lila can¡¯t help but look at Rose, even though they are in the middle of exploration their food was not bad as a dry ration, it was warm food that can be warmed up and taste good! for Garen this event was different, and this make him have another thought, if this dungeon exploration was done later he will just focus on his shop! many items in real life can be used as items to sell in his shop, and with Lila and Anne maybe he can ask them about the price range and sell some more profitable items! And one of them was food.. he doesn¡¯t know how to do that maybe he needs to prepare a kitchen first and warm them up later inside his shop. but to have a kitchen maybe there are menus where he can construct one.....this makes Garen remember that he did not explore much about his shop menu aside from that small table that he got from the tutorial! It was all because of this dungeon problem¡­ well in truth he just forget about it ¡­.. and more like he does not feel the need to expand his shop more than now as it was hard to gather raw material with Anne and Lila summoned in real life! This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. But seeing he can sell items from this world then many things can be done later! For now, he can only join the group to conquer this dungeon and make sure his sister was fine¡­ After all, she is still the family head and his family member¡­. With that, they continue to rest and it seems Lila and Anne are compatible and play around so much. But soon Rose gets up as it seems she already recovers, ¡°Alright let¡¯s continue we don¡¯t have much time if we want to conquer this dungeon faster.¡± Anne nodded and Garen too as it was too long to take two months of expedition, they expect it to take at least a month to conquer this dungeon! Soon they continue and Lila follows them¡­¡­ at first Rose doesn¡¯t want to ¡°No it was dangerous!¡± she is firm on this. But Lila looks at her with her big eyes and says ¡°Aunty come on! I already burn goblins and treant to ashes¡­ ask Dad for confirmation!¡± Lila point at Garen that still thinking about the future... Rose looked at him and this time it was his chance to explain more detail¡­ ¡°uhumm sis this girl was not normal¡­. humans¡­ uh well she can use spells and is just a bit weaker than Anne!¡± Garen doesn¡¯t know what to explain and can only let Lila show her the lava ball¡­.. But then Garen remember that they are inside a tent! It was rather late as Lila already spawn ten lava balls that suspend mid-air! Luckily Lila has a rather strong control as lava spirits and does not burn anything¡­.. Seeing this Rose looks at Lila much more seriously and in the end nods, giving her approval! Seeing this Lila can¡¯t help but cheer! ¡°yey! You are the best aunty!¡± and when she says this she cancels her spell and the lava balls was dispersed into thin air¡­ ¡°alright but now you use this and this.¡± Rose give approval but still give her some items, it was a hat that can cover her glowing hair¡­. and a pair of glasses that reduce her glowing eyes.... What more she even gives her a mask.... a half face mask to cover her face! ¡°it was dangerous if some people know there are kids that already awaken¡± Rose tried to explain this and Lila was a sensible kid she still wore all of this and did not complain. Even though she doesn¡¯t know what awaken means¡­. well she has already been like this since she was born. In the end, Garen and the others come out of this tent, of course, Lila''s appearance makes other people curious. ¡°don¡¯t worry she is my friend and will help us from now on!¡± Rose looks at them and says this. The others don¡¯t know what to say but still nod as if nothing can be done right? And even though she looks like a kid, it was not weird if she awaken some ability to make her look young¡­.. So all these people start to pack up, the logistic team stores all these tents on the cars, while the battle team already moving forward to look for any enemy! They do not think much about logistic unit safety as some people were assigned to protect them and they move faster with the car so they can catch up to them in maybe a few minutes. If not because it was dangerous and it was inflexible to use a car even the battle units will use a car to look for monsters! who knows if there is any trap inside a dungeon right? it looks flat but maybe there is something there.... as the battle unit already explore the way the logistic unit that uses cars can move more safely as long as they follow the path. So soon the battle unit meets another wave of Cowman, but it is still the same tactic, Rose will freeze them while Anne smashes them to pieces. But now with the help of Lila, it was much faster! Even though ice and lava were not a good combination and even melt the ice that freeze this Cowman. ten lava ball was thrown at the same time and hit that cowman all over...can it still move after that? What other people saw was a melting Cowman rolling on the ground, smelling a strong burn beef, and a miserable cow sound....! Seeing this some people even shudder a bit as this was much more scary than being smashed by Anne¡­. Their journey was much smoother with Lila as another main attacker, and they even rested less than before! But soon they found something else, it was a forest far ahead! This make them stop and rest for a moment as the forest was different from this plain grassland, it was like a stark contrast with this dungeon theme... inside a forest, their view will be obstructed by trees and so it was much more dangerous! And Garen doesn¡¯t know why he can feel that their enemy will not be a Cowman over there¡­ Rose was thinking like this so she gather her people ¡°We will send a scout ahead, if they meet a Cowman then we can continue forward, if they meet another monster we will test the water first.¡± The others nod except for the scout, who has a rather glum expression... But it was still their job, so they eventually gathered in a group and marched toward the forest! Soon they come inside and look around cautiously! But after walking inside for so long they do not meet any monster! After a while the one in front stopped, it was a middle age man ¡°Wait! Stop for now.. focus your hearing and try to hear something, I feel something was so wrong¡­¡± With that, the others keep quiet and focus on their surroundings! And after some time they can¡¯t help but gulp down, as there was no sound aside from them! Only leaves fluttering and wind sound can be heard but no insects or other monsters¡­ Usually in this kind of terrain at least there will be insect sound as monsters still need to eat so there is a food chain too inside a dungeon¡­ This makes them look around more cautiously. ¡°leader what do we need to do ?¡± a young man can¡¯t help but say. The middle age man can¡¯t help but shake his head ¡°Let¡¯s get back and report first it was better to be cautious!¡± With that, they slowly walk back, but soon they found out something weird! They left some marking on the tree when they come in but now it was gone¡­.. This makes them sweat so much! Ch 15 Mysterious Forest Soon the scouts look around, some even start to walk forward to see their other markings but their leader says ¡° Don¡¯t disperse, and don¡¯t move too far from each other!¡± The leader already brandishing his sword and this makes the others ready to fight! But what he do next was rather surprising, the leader cut a branch on the tree and it was easily cut like a normal branch. ¡°Don¡¯t move too far from each other, it''s better to stick as close as possible! Come with me!¡± And next, he gather some dried branches and leaves while passing them toward his people after all people at leave have some branches and leaves he gathered them into one and start to make fire! The smoke starts to rise and he hopes that people outside can see them! He can see the smoke rise toward the sky from here but he believes that if it was what he thinks this smoke will be just a futile attempt! .... From the outside, Rose already furrow her brow! She just send them to scout a bit but until now they have not even come back! Not even any signal can be seen¡­ Yes from outside there is no smoke at all! This makes Rose want to send people to explore but then decided to stop this thinking. She sighs and waits for a few more times. And sure enough, they wait for a long time and nothing happened, even a normal adventurer can tell something wrong! This time Rose can¡¯t help but need to decide! In the end, she wants to send people to search for them! But it was rather hard to do¡­. No people want to take that much risk but if Rose doesn¡¯t send someone out they will think that ''What if it was them that lost over there?'' they indeed got paid and it was their job just feeling was still some part of humanity so it is not weird if they feel sad if they are just being abandoned, for any reason¡­ And for every company a reputation was important! It was fine if they die on the battlefield as it was their job, but if they lost when they do scouting¡­ and their higher-up just let them be without any effort¡­ they will not want to sign a contract with said company! so this thing was a really big burden for Rose... But Garen thinks about something else, he can¡¯t help but come to his sister, ¡°Let Anne and Lila test the water first.¡± This made Rose a bit burdened as it was their high-ranked adventurer that will come inside and maybe lose... But soon she remembers something and just nods. It was that summoned creature can be unsummoned! So if there is any dangerous thing then they will just retreat, right? The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. But Garen doesn¡¯t know if this is possible or not! It is true that as long as they are summoned into this world once he can unsummon and summon them with just his will but he doesn¡¯t sure if there is something that can make this impossible to do. So he let them walk slowly, seeing their high-ranked adventurer was the one that was being sent out, the normal adventurer was a bit worried about this but still something inside them feel relief¡­. Soon Lila and Anne were walking inside that forest, Garen can still feel their connection and they continue forward slowly¡­ And after some time he can still feel this connection so he sighs in relief and nods toward Rose. Seeing this Rose sighs too and just waits for them to come back¡­ Lila and Anne walk slowly, when they come inside the forest Anne took the front while Lila is in the back. Anne walk carefully and look around cautiously, this feeling make her remember something¡­ ¡°this feeling familiar..¡± Anne can¡¯t help but say. ¡°yes yes, it is so similar when we explore the dungeon!¡± Lila can¡¯t help but said this, what''s more she feels that there will be a treant that will pop out soon! And who knows it is not treant but herbs! This time Lila sees the herb, the red plant that usually she picks up in the forest! ¡°look! it was herb!¡± subconsciously Lila come there and pick one! Anne looks at it too and nods, they have at least this common knowledge as a game character, right? Soon after their journey was smooth and like in the forest of the beginning they pluck herbs, harvest leather from deer, and kill treant! Yes, that log-like monster was killed by them.. or rather burned to ashes by Lila¡­. Soon after they do some rounds of exploration, pick herbs, and continue their routine! But it was a coincidence that Lila was plucking some herb when she heard a voice! Soon what she found was a group of people¡­.. It was their scout! The young scout even starts to sweat ¡°Did I get so nervous that I see our high-ranked adventurer plucking some herbs¡­. we already walk so long but have not found anything!¡± The middle age leader soon smack his back ¡°Now did they still there ?¡± The young man was in a daze and nodded. This makes the middle age man sigh Lila and Anne look at them and Lila even cheerfully says ¡°We found them!¡± Hearing this sound the scout team sighs in relief¡­ But soon the young scout blink ¡°Wait! Doesn¡¯t it mean we are all trapped here !?¡± Hearing this Lila only says ¡°What do you mean trapped? we just need to walk that way!¡± Lila point in some direction. But seeing where she point the young man was in despair as it was where they come from! ¡°What! You don¡¯t believe me ?¡± Lila can¡¯t help but displeased¡­ The young man quickly changes his expression into a smile ¡° uhum no no! You are an expert so of course you can find the way¡­. ¡° Lila can¡¯t help but pout ¡°Hum!¡± of course as she uses a mask no body sees her pout and only make a hum sound¡­ The young man can only sigh in his heart, ¡®This expert act like a kid..'' but considering their strange ability with their strange side effect maybe this was not bad¡­ Soon the whole scout group can only follow these two girls as they are much stronger than them and they have this tiny hope, what if they really come out? So with that, they start their journey back which makes them baffled a bit¡­ They see these two girls pick up weird plants, wood laying around¡­ and even a deer? did their eyes play any tricks on them? Furthermore, these girls pick so many things but their appearance remains the same... they don''t know where this girl stores these things, but seeing that even a wood can''t leave any trace on this girl baffles them! When these girls pick up something all they see is them pushing it somewhere and it''s gone.... The middle age man can only sigh ¡°What do you look at? it not weird for an expert like them to have a storage bag, it was expensive¡­.¡± Hearing this they can only nod, still, they can¡¯t describe how the deer that was being killed by them suddenly turn into leather with a flash... Seeing these girl''s expressions like it was a normal thing maybe it was them that had never seen the world... With that they keep walking and what happened next was they came out! Rose can see this group of people being led by two girls, she can¡¯t help but sigh in relief¡­. The other adventurer was amazed by this, it seems these two girls are super experts, they not only know how to fight but rescue too! The scout group was so glad that some of them were in tears! Only they know how hard they try to look for a way back¡­.. Soon the middle age scout comes toward Rose and says ¡°Thank you for sending them to help¡­. I don¡¯t know why but it seems we fall into something similar with ¡®that¡¯ forbidden place¡­¡± Hearing this Rose frown her brow and tell him ¡°Alright it was only similar but to be safe we will pass this forest and try to look for another direction!¡± The middle-aged man nods, and they rest for a moment so they can be fit to fight any monsters before they begin to move! after some time they start to continue forward! they pass the forest area and look for another direction and keep moving straight. But Garen hadn''t realized that a panel had appeared on his phone, reporting that Anne and Lila had finished exploring a dungeon and discovered 7 wood, 4 herbs, and 2 leather! Garen continues with the other adventurers and walks much further from this forest area, strangely there are a few monsters near this forest. They did not meet any Cowman here and only occasionally meet one or two, and yes it was not one or two groups but one or two Cowman! Rose does not even need to freeze them, Lila and Anne already kill them! Still the farther they went from this forest they start to meet group after group of this Cowman! Ch 16 Easy... Rose and the others continue to walk forward, they meet a Cowman like always, and wipe them out. After a few waves, they start to rest! It looks as easy as ever¡­ But today was already enough, after fighting a few more waves they rest for the day! Garen is still in the same tent as Rose, Anne, and Lila; after dinner, they begin to sleep, while Lila and Anne return to their world the game world. Garen checked his phone after Rose went to sleep! And what he discovered was a panel stating that Anne and Lila had finished exploring! This makes him think about what happened..... he can''t help but want to ask them about that location, but not right now. For the time being, he allows them to rest for real because they will continue to explore this dungeon tomorrow. This makes Garen doesn¡¯t have anything to do¡­ In the end, he sigh and look at the time, it was already 9 PM it was a good time to rest, but Garen looked at his gems in total he have 3.100! if he has another slot for adventurer he can draw that card game again¡­ who knows if he can recruit another good adventurer right? As for recruiting manager, he really wants them too! receiving passive income was great and it was a dream of all adults¡­. But what does he sell if there are no raw materials or blueprints? Furthermore, he is still inside the dungeon, so stuffing some real-world item into his phone is impossible, right? Even if he became a reseller, the profit would be not that satisfying... maybe¡­ well alright it is true that a small profit will become big if they are in big quantity. But for now, he can slowly accumulate gems for the manager later and need more gems as even if he wants to he still lacks gems to do many things! what more on recruiting a manager... Now he doesn''t have any choice and open the shop menu and look around.. this time he looks at it in more detail, there are many furniture and decoration like before, but how to expand this shop? This makes him confused as there are no upgrade or level-up options at all! In the end, he can only close this menu and try to look around the shop building, in games like this if he clicks the area near his shop he can buy them right? So soon he try it out and who know that it was true! that land start to get highlighted and a panel appeared. It states the requirements to purchase this additional land¡­ first, of course money, he must have 10.000 gold coins or gems to purchase this land, of course, he can use a combination of gems and gold, it was a standard for the game company to do this¡­ After that requirement was fulfilled there are still additional things to look for, it was he need to have at least 5 pieces of furniture inside his current shop! And this make him look back at that shop menu, each piece of furniture have a different price but the cheapest was one thousand¡­ The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. He don¡¯t know how furniture was more expensive than weapons¡­. well maybe because the one that he sell was only starter equipment and of course it was cheap¡­ This makes him think about how strong the other weapons will be. But until now he can only craft daggers and iron swords so he doesn¡¯t know, but then he thinks about blacksmith and sighs. It seems he can just become a real reseller for now¡­. but he can¡¯t observe his shop freely because of this dungeon... still after that experience, he knows that people will still line up as long as he does not reject or accept their offer! With that, he decided to try at least he can still make money a bit each time he check his phone right? He look at his current gold coins, it was 390 gold coins.. he look at the blacksmiths in case there are any item that was around this price! Yup as he thinks that 20 % profit, the more expensive item that he sold was the more profit he get with that 20 % right? even though he does not know if it is real or not as he only knows about the dagger and iron sword price for now¡­ there is an additional thing to look too, it was if there are people that want to buy his items. In the end, he try it and look for a pike, it was a 360 gold coin if he sell it with that 20 percent profit formula it will be 450 gold coins for the one pike! with this, he can get 90 gold coins for profit! If he can sell this pike much more frequently then he can make money much faster! of course it''s just his thought¡­ as he doesn¡¯t know the real market yet¡­. will they really buy it from him? Did he really get 20 percent profit? In the end, his money was gone just like that to buy this iron pike, he display it on the small table and wait for any customer to come! Soon after a customer comes in and looks at that pike, but different from a usual customer he only looks at it, and when he sees that no other item was being displayed he left¡­. This makes Garen wonder if the pike was too bad to sell, or maybe it''s just this one customer who doesn''t have any money... or maybe people that use pike were few! But still, as he already bought it he just hopes some people at least ask for the price¡­. With that, a few more customers come in and look around but mostly left, only one person come to him! ¡°boss, how much is this pike? don¡¯t trick me ok ?¡± it was a young girl with iron armor, she seems to be a rather high-level adventurer. Garen hesitated before writing "450 Gold Coins." "Good, it was the same as the market price!" says the girl. Thank you very much, sir!" Soon after, she happily purchased it and left Garen with a gold coins + 450 icon Soon this makes him excited! He quickly buys another pike and displays it, and so a few customers come and another people buy it! With that Garen still excited he buy another pike¡­ And he sell it another two times, after that as his money was already 750 he buys two of these pikes! But then the customer only look at it and left¡­.. This caused him to blink his eyes... soon after, even the customers stopped coming.... he looked at the time and sighed... it was already midnight..... that''s why no customers came anymore... With that, he stops looking at his phone and starts to sleep¡­. He doesn¡¯t know how long he sleep but he can feel somebody shake him, soon a voice can be heard ¡°Garen wake up!¡± Soon Garen wakes up and subconsciously summons Anne and Lila so he can sleep again¡­. But the voice can still be heard ¡°Wake up we need to move soon!¡± With that Garen open his eyes and sigh¡­ he is inside a dungeon and needs to work¡­.. Soon after he prepares himself equipping his armor and moves forward! Of course, he needs to eat first¡­ after eating he walks out and Garen can see the other adventurers already preparing themselves and getting ready to move while the logistic team cleans up and pack all essential things into the cars. Soon they start to move forward! It was still these three girls who mostly dealt with monsters, and they began to work together more smoothly. This dungeon was big even after walking this long they still meet many monsters and never found the end! This makes Garen curious as to how to conquer the dungeon. did they need to clear all monsters inside that dungeon or do something else¡­ When it was time to rest he can¡¯t help but ask his sister, and soon he found out the answer! ¡°to conquer a dungeon one must prove that they come near the core!¡± Rose start to explain. She take out the tablet that Garen knew, it was the one for conquering lands¡­.. ¡°aside from conquering lands, this table can be used to conquer a dungeon too, you just need to change the setting from land mode to dungeon mode.¡± With that Rose show how to do that, it was pretty simple there are setting menu on the corner and he can choose either land or dungeon! It then changes to dungeon settings, here there are many posts about people conquering dungeons! the rule was a bit different from conquering lands, dungeons need the approval of the government first, which is the right to explore and claim. After that, in two months the one that buys this right must give proof which is a video of them touching the core! Of course in this era how come one can¡¯t just fabricate that video? sadly here comes another requirement. It was a video of them fighting the boss of this dungeon! And the material left behind by this boss. They need to give this proof and material to a government agent and wait for a few days as the government team will verify this video and material, so it was almost impossible to fabricate proof of conquering the dungeon as material for proof was hard to get and it was not worth it to fabricate and they need to pay experts and so on. The price to fabricate the proof will be much more expensive than directly conquering this dungeon¡­.. With that, it was rare for someone to fabricate a video for conquering a dungeon¡­ Garen knew the procedure now but it was still a headache to conquer this dungeon as it was already two days right? but they still do not meet the dungeon core or even see any sign of it... Ch 17 Dungeon Core They keep moving forward, fighting wave after wave of this Cowman... It remained the same.... as before freeze and smack!. But they soon discovered something strange, the number of Cowman inside one group was increasing! Eventually, they discovered 20 Cowman in one group! This makes Rose have a cold sweat as she uses most of her power to freeze this Cowman! Anne and Lila can¡¯t help much too and the other adventurer even starts to get tired and there are many Cowman that still freezing! Garen count on it and there are still 12 Cowman that are not being taken care of by them¡­. Rose''s mana start to dwindle and she even chug two mana potions this time! This was the longest fight they ever fought! When they finished this group of Cowman Rose let them rest! Or rather it was her that can¡¯t handle this fight anymore¡­ ¡°let¡¯s rest for now, it seems we will find the core soon!¡± Rose was excited about this! As it was what they say in the textbook¡­. the more enemy number the closest they were to the core! even though she feels a bit weird... it is not supposed to be this fast but what can she do? each dungeon was different and unique. The others of course knew about this too so they quickly look for a place to safely rest and even fill their stomach first. But Garen was not optimistic about this fight! Fighting against 20 Cowman already makes his sister panting like that what if they fight 30? 40? 50? what''s more there is the boss too! And it seems Rose understands this too, this time she rests much longer and even prepares all of her mana potions! Garen can only say ¡° Sis did you believe we can do this ?¡± Rose shakes her head ¡°We can try first.. at most we just run!¡± Garen let out a sigh. It appears that his sister was also pessimistic, so it was a dead end.... maybe, but it was only a few days of exploring so given a little time to recruit more members and preparation, they might be able to conquer this dungeon in another month! But first, they must figure out whether they have a chance to conquer this dungeon, as this is just one of the rather difficult groups they have faced so far! Soon they continue their journey and meet another group of Cowman! This time the number makes them shudder a bit and there is even a Cowman that is much more muscular and looks savage as it wears leather armor and a big iron sword! The adventurer''s expression was grim because it was impossible that this muscular cowman was the boss, the boss usually guards a core but they don''t see any core as it was big and easy to find, so in the end, this guy was probably just an elite monster. As Rose''s group found this group of Cowman of course they found out about her group too! The leader-looking Cowman starts to roar and followed by another Cowman, they charge straight toward them! The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. When the leader Cow arrives at Rose''s magical range, she immediately tries to freeze it! However, it appears that the effect was not very good! It does slow it down, but it does not stop or freeze at all! Lila soon starts throwing ten lava balls at this Cow! But not like before, this one brandished its massive sword and slapped a few lava balls away! The sword was slightly melted, but the ball was still thrown away! A few lava balls hit this Cow, causing it to roar in pain! But it was much more difficult to handle as it continued to charge forward! Fortunately, Lila can still hurl lava balls at it so she throws a few lava balls again. It deflected some but was hit by other lava balls, eventually when it was so close Anne move to confront it! The Cow see an opponent that come close so it even roar angrily and swung its big sword! Anne try to dodge it but who know that it was so fast that she can¡¯t dodge it at all! In the end, she swung her mace at the sword! As to use her shield to defend¡­ Anne never tries it before so she is much more confident with her mace¡­ ¡®clang!¡¯ a ringing sound can be heard and Anne was suppressed! This makes this gentle-looking girl shocked! This Cow''s weapons have a small dent but it does not budge much¡­ while her mace wavering a bit because of this Cow''s raw power¡­ Rose and Lila do everything they can to keep the other normal Cow at bay! Because there were so many other cowmen! Even Rose missed some and they kept charging! Anne was still entangled with this leader Cow, and whenever it swung the big sword, Anne could only swing her mace! This makes them stuck at a balance... still, Anne''s physique was smaller and her stamina not as strong as a cow''s... so this leader cow will have an advantage sooner! still, her raw power was great so each time Anne deflect the iron sword it make the cow have a small opening! Lila took this opportunity to throw a few lava balls toward the leader Cow and it don¡¯t have a choice but defend itself! the Cow sees this, he knows Anne will fall sooner or later and it knows how hurt being burned by this ball-like thing, so he chooses to deflect this ball upward! but this make Anne a chance to attack! What she do was swing her mace toward this Cow''s waist! And soon a roar of pain can be heard and one even sees a huge figure fly a few meters after being struck by Anne''s attack! This makes Rose start to direct her power to this leader Cow! She can only slow it a bit more for Lila to throw ten lava balls! this time Rose has already emptied her fourth mana potion¡­.. She doesn¡¯t know why Lila doesn¡¯t need any of this potion even after she gives her one. In the end, she can only drink it all herself! This combination of Rose and Lila makes the leader Cow roar in pain! And Anne is already close in and smashing her mace toward this Cow Head! This concludes the battle with this Cow leader, but its underling still lingers here and some already rush toward Anne. Still, it got frozen in the end and this make the battle much easier, it take some time and Rose already throw her tenth mana potion¡­ And this makes her face pale¡­ Garen sigh it seems this was the limit! And after all this, he can only watch from the side¡­.. Soon the battle finished but this time some people got injured as Rose''s power diminished, some cowmen got out of their freezing state and hurt a few people of course they were killed in the end by Lila or drowned by a ranged attack from the other adventurer. They know that this will be the end of this exploration, as they are not strong enough to continue! Some of them even sit down on the ground as keep firing arrows or magic almost depleting all their energy and potions¡­. Even constantly drinking potions does not mean they have infinite mana, Rose is already so Pale and even lay down on the Ground. Lila that sees this even screams ¡°Aunt Rose!¡± with that she checks Rose''s condition, Garen can only come forward to see too. In the end, he says ¡° Alright let¡¯s get back from this dungeon first we need time to rest, it wise to retreat while we have low casualty!¡± Garen shakes his head. Other adventurers that hear this don¡¯t know what to say, some were stubborn and don¡¯t want to follow his command, but seeing their situation is not good they can''t say much as retreat was what they can do! Even if they wait for Rose to reach her peak and continue to explore in the next battle, they cannot guarantee that there will be low casualties like this one, perhaps many of them will die! So they can only pack their thing and slowly move back to the dungeon entrance! Of course, they rest first as they need to recover some energy and Rose can¡¯t walk properly by overdosing on mana potion¡­ what''s more along the way, there will be another group of normal Cowman so it is not wise to just walk back in this state. After Rose''s condition was much more stable she lead the way and froze any Cowman group that they meet. They need two days to go here but it was only one day to go back¡­ at least it was midnight when they arrive at the entrance! Cindy that almost asleep was awake when she heard Janet run toward her! They then go to the dungeon entrance... Seeing people coming back from the dungeon wounded made these two ladies look at these people anxiously¡­. as Rose, Anne, and Garen were not coming with them! Well, in the end, they sigh in relief when they see them in the logistics car... Rose''s complexion was better but still so pale this made Cindy''s heart almost stop! ¡°Big sist!" She quickly comes toward the car where Rose and the others get out. Seeing Cindy worry Rose can only sigh ¡°It''s fine I just use too much mana and my body can¡¯t take it anymore¡­.¡± Hearing this Cindy sighed but still comment on it ¡°Good good I already say that it was not a good idea¡­ even with Anne we can¡¯t conquer it¡­.¡± Soon she found another kid¡­. Lila looks at Cindy too and blinks her eyes.. she looks at Garen and asks ¡°Who is she ?¡± Garen can only say ¡°My sister¡­¡± Lila makes an OOOO sound and says ¡° Aunt nice to meet you!¡± This makes Cindy who almost burst into tears stop for a moment when she hears that comment, she turns around and looks at Lila! And at Garen¡­. Rose comes to help this time ¡°It''s not time to discuss this, let¡¯s come back first..¡± soon they come back to the temporary building where they stay. Rose was the one who wanted to explain this time, but she suddenly remembered Garen not saying anything about his excuses... With that, all of them look at Garen, and he can only sigh¡­. Ch 18 Rest Period Garen can only explain "Uhm she was summoned by me and... I just become his dad... adopted dad.. erm...." Garen was hard to explain this.... he don''t know what to say! and only shrug his shoulder.... and maybe it was true that he is the one that was adopted by Lila... right? the other can understand Lila being adopted by him even as she is already so big when he is just this young... though he said it weirdly... but the excuse to summon another one was hard to believe..... Janet, this professional secretary, can only draw logical conclusions from these illogical excuses... "Let''s just say he found something while exploring the dungeon and ''suddenly'' can do multiple'' summoning'' that can last all day... for both of them..." Janet said. Garen can only nod, as he can¡¯t say that it was his phone that allow him to summon them right? And what''s more, it was true that he can maintain this because he have a big mana reserve. Soon after, Janet says, "All right, let''s rest for now, and we''ll think about anything else tomorrow..." So they start to go into their bedroom and rest for the night! Garen was in his room and he can¡¯t play on his phone at all today, and looking at the time there will be no customer at all. Still, he looks at the shop just in case, which makes him a bit baffled. Two customers are waiting there¡­. He quickly looked at their conversation.... it was time to bargain, and in the end, he rejected the offer because this first guy doesn''t want it at the market price! Soon the second one comes forward and starts to bargain, this time he only firmly says the market price and the man agrees! Garen nods as the second customer takes his iron pike, leaving him with only one in stock! well, he goes to the blacksmith and purchases another one! This building was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so he could buy the finished product even at midnight! it was very convenient! Garen can only wait for a moment longer because no customer arrives, so he quickly puts his phone into his pocket and rests for the day. At the very least, he can feel the softness of his bed... even if it is only a temporary resting place, at least there is a bed and not a sleeping bag.... This time he just fall asleep and even forget to let Anne and Lila back! With that, Cindy can only let them sleep in another room, Anne was not difficult because she has her own room, but Lila? Cindy allowed her to sleep in Cindy''s room, as Cindy herself will still sleep here in Garen''s bedroom, of course on another bed¡­ The next day Cindy wakes Garen up as usual, he quickly summons Anne and Lila but feels something weird as they are already summoned! so he blinks and just lets it go... Stolen novel; please report. Soon he can see them talking on another bed while Cindy keeps shaking him! ¡°Brother, are you alright? You know what I mean¡­..¡± as it was a rather open place she does not ask him if his mana was empty or something like that¡­. Garen can only groan and want to sleep again¡­ but soon Cindy pulls him! ¡°alright, it seems you are fine, let¡¯s go! we will go back first! Sister Rose still needs time to manage another expedition!¡± Garen can only follow along while sleepy, and he can''t help but think that these days aren''t as good as they used to be... and what''s more this world was not as peaceful as before where he can sleep and wake up whenever he wants even though he is not wealthy!.. before the crack of course... Uh, now that he thinks about it maybe that was the reason he is not rich¡­. he just lazes around all day... back to topic.... soon they ride their car and go back into their mansion! Lila and Cindy seem quite compatible¡­ well maybe because they do not have a big age gap.. maybe¡­ he never asks Lila''s age¡­ In the end, they arrive and Garen was dragged by Cindy to have a family meeting¡­. with Anne and Lila too¡­ Janet was somewhere else at the moment. It was a safe place that was hard for others to eavesdrop, Rose was the first one that says something. ¡°Alright, so what do you want to learn? you have a big mana reserve even after all of this, mage will be a good choice for you!¡± Rose looks at Garen and says seriously. But Cindy rejects it ¡° Sis, he is so lazy like this¡­ will he ever learn a spell? diligence was a key point of a mage! I don''t think he can do much....¡± This made Rose nod, unlike the ability gained through awakening, learning to chant spells was difficult and time-consuming... Usually, it was only if their ability is compatible with this job they choose to learn as a mage. But the personality was important too! Even though Garen was already so different from the previous one, after a few interactions, he is still as lazy.... perhaps it was already ingrained in his bones that after losing his memory, he still acts like this! In the end, Rose herself can¡¯t force this and ask his opinion. Garen now thinks about this he doesn¡¯t know anything so he just says ¡°What was the easiest method for someone like me that has a big mana capacity and can fight in the shortest amount of time ?¡± This make them baffled and deep down a bit relieved.. well it was still their brother¡­. But before they can say anything Lila was the one that say ¡± Of course, it was to make contact with me!¡± Lila looks proud and even raises her chin a bit¡­. Seeing the others look at her, this makes Lila blink and ask ¡°What? Did you never know that making a contract with a spirit can grant you a bit of their power ?¡± This time Lila still blinking her eyes in confusion! Garen sighed and forgot to say that Lila was a newborn spirit, not a normal kid.....still, he don¡¯t know that he can make a contract with her! Soon Lilan can only explain ¡°By making a contract with spirits one must first fulfill that spirit''s wish, as my wish was already fulfilled it was easy to form a contract with me!¡± Lila then continues ¡°After making the contract we can share some skills and with that, you can throw lava balls like me Dad!¡± Lila look excited to think about this. Hearing this even Rose was interested as Lila Lava ball was useful! Garen can only nod, if he can do that can''t he launch a volley of lava balls at his enemy? He can transform himself into a lava ball-spewing machine gun thanks to his quick mana regeneration! Well, it was what was going through his mind.... he didn''t know if it was possible or not... Still, it was a good thing to make a contract with her now! But Garen can only ask something else ¡°So Lila what was the disadvantage of forming a contract ?¡± Hearing this Lila blink and think for a moment¡­ ¡°fulfill my wish!¡± Lila said to him... soon Garen ask again ¡°Anything else?¡± ¡­. ¡°just fulfill my wish!¡± Lila can only think about this¡­. Hearing this Garen can only sigh well maybe it is not so bad to form a contract with her right? But to make sure he asks again..¡± so is there anything else like I can only form one contract in my lifetimes?¡± This time Lila think hard and say ¡°Oh I remember¡­ if you make a contract with me, you can only make an additional contract with someone that much stronger than me, if it was weaker than me it was impossible¡­.¡± with this Lila then nodded in approval¡­. It appears that it was the spirit''s pride that prevented their contractor from signing another contract with a weaker spirit than them..... Garen nodded, if it was just this it was still acceptable, but he still asked the most important one ¡°So what was your wish ?¡± This time Lila answer it without thinking ¡°To have a dad! And family! Well, maybe a mom but it was fine now¡­. you can give me one later!¡± Garen sighs... He''ll have a child officially after signing a contract with her.... well, nothing will be changed anyway... In the end Garen nod ¡°Alright I will accept it, let¡¯s make a contract!¡± Soon Garen and Lila move forward and Lila say something in unknown language! This makes the other people that watch in awe! It looks really like something mysterious now¡­. Soon a crest with an active volcano appeared on the ground covering Lila and Garen, Lila then say ¡°Did you accept to be my father ?¡± Garen nodded¡­ but Lila say ¡°Dad you need to say yes to make it work¡­. let¡¯s try again¡­¡± The crest disappeared as Garen was not responsive but soon as Lila said something it reappeared again! Soon the crest appeared again and cover both of them again, Lila say the same thing again ¡°Did you accept to be my father ?¡± Garen can only say ¡° Yes¡± after that amazing thing happened! The crest that was on the ground starts to shine brightly! it was dark red like active lava! Soon after many dots of dark red fly from the ground and envelop these two people! After that, all of this disappeared like nothing happened before! Garen did not feel much and looked confused, Lila smile widely and come back to sit on the couch¡­. As Garen does not know what to do he just sit down¡­. The other was curious as to what was different after signing a contract so Cindy said ¡°Brother try to use the skill! I saw what lava ball looks like!¡± Ch 19 Lava Ball Garen himself wants to try this magical power too! But he doesn¡¯t know how¡­ This makes him look at Lila, which later looks back at him. ¡°Dad you only need to feel and think about making lava balls! It was like this feeling will rush up and boom! Many lava ball will appeared! If you want to disperse it just let it all go and it will disappear!¡± Lila tells him this excitedly! But he can only understand the words not the meaning¡­. he sighs¡­ He can only try it on his own! Garen, try to imagine making a lava ball with that... It was difficult at first because he couldn''t imagine that lava ball shape... But soon, he''ll be able to feel something... It was weird but he can feel something moving from his body! Soon it tries to come out of his body but was blocked by something¡­. he can¡¯t make that thing come out! This makes him sigh and lose focus¡­. But later he try to concentrate more and soon the same feeling happened again and this time it was smooth¡­ after relaxing his body and mind and just letting it flow, it successfully flow out of his body and form a lava ball that levitated in the air! This makes Garen nod while Lila nods ¡°Yes yes it was that easy!¡± Garen can only sigh hearing this¡­ he feel it was not smooth at first¡­ soon he try to disperse this lava ball and it was much more easier than condensing it! he only needs to just let the feeling go... The others look at this and act normally¡­. only Anne looks at Garen happily! It was because Rose was already doing this all the time so she does not feel it was special¡­. Cindy only sighs¡­. Garen doesn¡¯t know what she thinks¡­.. ¡°Alright now that you have something to do try to familiarize yourself with that new power and we can arrange for another raid sometime later.¡± Rose still does not give up on that dungeon at all¡­. Garen nod, while Cindy and the other can only follow along, in the end, they start to disperse¡­. Anne and Lila were sent into their own ¡®world¡¯ while Cindy was gone somewhere¡­ it was still morning so maybe she goes to school¡­ Soon Garen sends Anne and Lila to explore a hard difficult dungeon! It was because Anne was still fully equipped! Rose had not asked Anne about her equipment after that expedition, so she was still wearing it... Maybe Rose intend to give it to Anne from the beginning, but now this can help Garen try this Hard difficulty Cave! Anne can at least defend herself with a shield, right? ¡­. Garen suddenly recalls how she only uses her mace when fighting.... perhaps he should explain what a shield can be used for... Anyway, it is already too late, Anne and Lila walk into a dark cave, and this time they fight against hobgoblins! You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Anne was alone before and couldn''t withstand much from this group, but now she''s still getting a beating...While Anne smashes one to pieces and Lila burns one to ashes, the remaining three hobgoblins can attack her! Of course, Lila already burns another one while Anne quickly deflects this hobgoblins attack. This group was ultimately defeated... Anne was only tired because she had to dodge so many times, still all in all it was a good improvement! With that, they continue to move forward! Defeating group after group of these hobgoblins! They don''t forget to collect raw iron too. While Anne and Lila exploring Garen was not idle, it was morning so he look at his shop, there are already two customers waiting for him! Of course, they want to buy his iron pike! And as always he doesn¡¯t want to reduce his price and keep it at market price! In truth, bargaining was a bit of a hassle for him¡­ if he can just apply modern supermarket system¡­. Well if it was so he need to know the general price first not like now that he can just randomly say numbers and the customer was the one that state the price¡­. He can only sigh and start bargaining with his customer again... One of these customers buys his pike but the other¡­ as always just goes out as Garen rejects his price¡­ In the end, Garen buys another pike again and displays it on his small table, selling this pike was not like a normal sword or dagger customer was scarce but some will come but not so fast. Even after Anne and Lila come back there is no customer! So he can only sigh and look at Anne and Lila''s harvest. Doing this hard difficulty was much more rewarding than an easy one! It is more than double the harvest! Usually, it was only around 14 or 13 but now it was 32! With this much, he can craft 16 iron swords! But of course, Anne and Lila''s resting time was much longer, it was not double the easy difficulty so this was much more profitable! He places one sword to display on a small table and waits for the customer to come! Different from just selling iron pike, soon customers come and asked for the iron swords! And with that, he can sell his iron swords and get 480 Gold coins! Sometimes some customers look at his pike and asked for the price but after hearing it they just more focus on bargaining for his swords¡­. Still, he rejects all people that try to lower the price for him¡­ he firmly sells his iron sword for 30 gold coins just exactly like the market price, he did not even raise it! He eventually sold all of the iron swords and one pike! As a result, he made a profit of 570 gold coins. He goes out and buys another pike! And now he was unsure if he needed to restock his iron sword as well as the pike took a long time to sell, but once it did, it was 15 times more profitable than Sword! He soon thinks, "Why not just do both?" He can stock two iron pikes and purchase the remaining iron sword, the iron sword was not profitable but if he sell it every time then it was a big sum of gold coins! of course, he need to think about priority as his gold coins were limited, he need to buy the pike first and use the remaining for iron swords. With that, he use his remaining money to buy an iron sword! He got 26 iron swords and expected to profit 156 gold coins. And his balance was 0 ¡­. not long after it got filled up again! While selling iron swords and sometimes pike, he sends Lila and Anne when they are available again! With that, before he eat for dinner he already sold 32 iron swords that he made himself, 76 iron swords as a reseller, and 7 Pike as resellers! As to why it was only 32 iron swords that he craft himself¡­ he don¡¯t want to push Lila and Anne to their limit.. so in the end he let them take a long rest after going into the dungeon two more times¡­. He remembers that Lila grumbled when he send her too many times¡­. in the end, he did not dare to just let them go like a real NPC in a game! But still, his harvest was great! he got 2,046 Gold coins just this one day. Of course, it was because he is free and could accompany every customer to bargain¡­. this makes him want a manager sooner... while he bargaining and tending his shop all day he found out that customers will come as long as there are items on his shelf! Of course except at midnight as he tries that a few days before right? Now what he did was use these gold coins and buy an iron pike! Who knows when he woke up tomorrow morning he found some people already waiting? it was worth trying. But this time he wants to add another table! Who knows if he add it to many more people that come as the item being displayed was more than before? A small table can only hold three items at the same time, so he looks at the furniture shop and found one, it cost him 500 gold coins! He place it just right beside the one before and now he can display six items at the same time! But with that 500 gold coins reduction he can only buy 4 iron pikes this makes him blink¡­. ¡°Haa it seems I still have to think before doing anything¡­..¡± Garen sighed as he does not calculate everything¡­. In the end, it is still a good choice, if 4 people are waiting to buy an iron pike, at least one will buy the pike right? So he still buys four iron pike and displays them on the table, hoping that some people will be interested in his pike and buy it before he sleeps! With that Garen was called to eat and go to the dining room. ¡°Where is Anne and Lila ?¡± Cindy asked Garen when he walk alone, in the end, Garen summon them and let them eat with his family! After that, they will sleep with Cindy¡­.. as she knows that Garen will not run out of mana with just one day of summoning! Of course, it seems Cindy is already planning this as Janet already bring two pajamas that fit these two guests¡­. Ch 20 Failure After coming back to his room, he looks at his phone and many people are waiting for him so he starts to ¡®talk¡¯ with them. Well, it seems it worked, from these 4 iron Pike that he display three were being sold! This was the first time he can sell three at the same time¡­.. well even two Pike was difficult! He quickly refill his stock and wait again¡­ but it was not as he expected¡­ at least until midnight no customer buy his iron pike! Sure many asked him for this iron pike and start to haggle with him.. but they all don¡¯t want to accept his price so they all went out just like that¡­. Garen sighed it seems his luck was already drained with that three people buying his pike continuously! But this he seems to forget something¡­ ¡°Right, I forgot to stuff some modern items inside!¡± Garen sighed again¡­ ¡°Tomorrow I will ask Janet if there are some items to sell like clothing or¡­¡­ wait it will be suspicious¡­. let asked for candy then!¡± Garen thought that Candy was still reasonable as he have Lila with him and he himself can eat some candy if he was bored¡­. it was not weird at all! With that, he intends to realize it for real tomorrow! As of now, it was time to sleep¡­ The next day as usual he was called by Janet to eat breakfast.. And while they walk Garen talks to her about this idea of him ¡° uhum so Janet did I have some allowance ?¡± Hearing this Janet nod ¡°Yes young master every day you have money allocated to your card you can use it for your own.¡± Hearing this Garen blink, he doesn¡¯t know that he has a bank card! But soon after he realized the reason, his card was still on Janet because he had an accident that day and Janet would secure his valuables in case he did something unthinkable.... Janet presents him with an elegant black card... He appears to be wealthy for real now! As for breakfast, he can see Anne and Lila there and already eating! Soon he joins in, Cindy asks him a few questions ¡°So brother how long will they exist here ?¡± Garen can only shake his head as he doesn¡¯t know. Cindy considers this and says to him, "Then why not try first?" Janet will monitor your condition and assist you if you are in danger!" Garen can only sigh because Cindy seems to be fond of Lila and Anne... ¡°Alright, but I don¡¯t need to be observed at all, as long as they went back at night it was fine I think.¡± Hearing this Cindy nod happily at him! Soon he can hear Rose''s voice ¡°So how was your progress?¡± This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. This question makes him puzzled¡­ Seeing this Cindy was the one that sigh ¡° Sister I already told you he is lazy¡­ how come he knows it if you do not tell him ?¡± This makes Rose nod, but In the end, Cindy was the one that says ¡°It was about your skill¡­ lava ball did you make any progress in it?¡± Garen can only sigh ¡°It was fine I think¡­¡± hearing this Rose knew that he really did not learn or experiment on it again¡­ She nod ¡°Alright it''s fine, it''s not like we need it sooner¡­¡± but soon she sigh ¡°Let¡¯s forget about the dungeon for now, it was already taken back by the guild!¡± Hearing this Garen scratches his head¡­ ¡°What Guild?¡± Garen can only ask. Soon after, he discovered that the awakener has an association to record, maintain, and control, in order to ensure that there is no chaos in this place! And, as long as there are people, it''s not surprising if some of them report the accident to their true ''employer''... and Rose herself did not hide this accident, she still report it to the association! This association called Adventurer Guild take back that dungeon as it was considered hard difficulty! And they already know that Rose only has three advanced adventurers, it was rather hard to conquer this dungeon. What''s more even with White corporation wealth it was impossible to recruit so many advanced adventurers in a short two-month time! The main point was these adventurers usually already have their group and were forbidden to help another group¡­ Only low-level adventurers can be recruited but they are useless¡­.. The Guild returned the money that White Corporation had used to purchase the right to explore this dungeon, but Rose still lost money! As she still requires funds to gather adventurers, pay their expenses, equipment, or items, and even medical bills for the injured! But Rose can only sigh because it was what happened according to the law.... because it was outside their group''s power and would delay the other group to conquer this dungeon. It was too dangerous to leave it alone for too long! That is why two months was already the maximum time to conquer. The next time it is offered, it will be to a more powerful corporation or group, as it was outside the power of a similar group to the one that failed before. Even though White Corporation was big it was just a baby in this dungeon expedition business so of course it was one of the lowers groups¡­ Rose can only sigh as many other companies and groups already experience this and it can be considered bad luck. What more White corporation was not lacking money! But it is still not enough to gather powerful loyal people. They can only contract them at a high price! And it was not profitable if they still failed¡­ From previous experience, it is possible that the closer they get to the core, the more they will find that leader Cow maybe even two or three inside the same group.... and of course, the boss was much more powerful! With additional normal Cowman, it was unknown what will happen next¡­ Hearing about the right to explore was cut off Garen could only sigh, it was a failure for the White corporation and make them bleed a little bit, but he only nodded as he was never interested in it! Well except that forest¡­.So he asked Rose to tell him about that mysterious forest if there are any more information. "alright we can try again later... and what about that mysterious forest ?" Garen doesn''t know how to console his sister so he just says this. Rose nod at him and gives him general knowledge about a similar dungeon to that forest ¡°There are many places like that, it was a place that can be entered but not exited! And many people fall victim to that¡­ even some real expert can¡¯t come back from there!¡± Rose continues ¡°In this city there is another place, it was a graveyard, and it was in a dungeon managed by another group, you can look it up later on the internet as it was a rather common topic, every adventurer at least heard of these kinds of place. This was the first time Rose explain things to Garen, he can only nod and say ¡°Thank you¡± But this word make Cindy almost fainted¡­.. it was the first time she heard Garen say it! Rose nod too as it felt weird but still, she remember Garen asked them to treat him like a new person so she can only do this much. They soon parted ways, and Cindy went shopping with Lila and Anne! What about Garen? He follows along as he wants to buy a lot of things! Garen now has a black card, this can be used to buy so many things right? ¡­.. still, he plans to buy so many boxes of candy first! it was his target for making gold coins! Garen then follow them, They only use one car this time because it was large enough to carry two adults and two children. Of course, there is the driver so Cindy, Anne, and Lila must squeeze into the back row¡­ Along the way, he can hear Cindy talking with the other girls¡­ they talk about many things and Garen can''t catch up with what they talked about..... Garen only look at his surrounding, it was not really that different from his old world, the building was still as high as before, just the architecture was so much sci-fi now, it have neon-like things and was rather bright and full of colors. The cars and bikes still use a land route, they just have different fashion tastes¡­ and well the only one that was similar to sci-fi movies was a levitating board! It can only be described as levitating because it only flies a few centimeters above the ground. And it was teen toys, similar to skateboards from his previous world. Garen only looked at it for a moment because it was uninteresting to him, he looked around and saw that nature was still present, there were trees everywhere and it was still as green as forever. They soon arrive at a massive structure, which is, of course, a mall that Cindy enjoys visiting. When he walked down, he followed them for a while but became bored as they went straight to clothing stores... buying so many sets that their driver''s hands were already full of bags... Yes of course their driver come along as a bodyguard and a bag man.. er well it was a weird term¡­. Garen sighed and say ¡°I will look around on my own.¡± Cindy nodded and was soon absorbed in what she do¡­ Only their driver cares about him¡­ ¡°Young master use this phone, if you need anything just call me, or when you want to meet up later.¡± The driver respectfully said. Garen nodded and want to thank him but maybe it was weird as even Cindy was almost shocked to death¡­ so he just keep quiet and nod and walk away. Ch 21 Shopping Garen walks around and soon finds out that using money to buy an item at this place was not profitable¡­as it was a shopping mall the price was expensive! alright, he doesn''t know about this world market price but who doesn''t know that in a mall the price will be much higher than outside? Well for ''current'' him maybe money was nothing but he still thinks that it was a waste¡­ and who knows how much money is inside his card? is it enough to buy many things in this mall? In the end, he did something that maybe even Cindy did not believe, he walk out of the mall and look around in his surrounding! But first, he goes to ATM and takes a bit of cash¡­ he is already being told by Janet the code as he was ''amnesia'' and forgets everything. This world''s currency was the same as Garen''s previous world, it was still a combination of cash and e-money, and right he forgot to bring his phone¡­ a phone from this world... so he can¡¯t use his e-money but he brings his card so he can take some money. Why is cash still in use even though the world appears to be so advanced? That was cash being more secure for doing something that can¡¯t be recorded¡­ And many of those people want this money to remain available! What more not all people have the privilege to use e-money as sometimes when they lost their phone it means they lose all their money... Technology was more advanced, and security was much higher as well, but this means that bad people will be much more advanced and knowledgeable than anyone realizes! It did not reduce the number of bad people because stealing a phone does not require a lot of knowledge, right? it was much easier to do that than to hack a server of a certain bank¡­ Of course, this victim will sometimes react quickly and freeze their account, but many people do not even realize their phone has gone missing for a few minutes! In just a few minutes, the brain of this bad guy group can hack into their account and legally transfer money! The next thing was it was to divide the money into multiple accounts and make sure it was untraceable¡­ Sure, many bad people will be apprehended, but there are other groups, right? And what about the victims? It''s not like their money will ever be returned.... Of course, this still has the societal grading of rich people having much more secure accounts that are difficult for normal bad guys to steal from, but that does not mean a more powerful and clever bad guy does not target them, right? it can even make a very dangerous individual target them! With that, cash was still valuable for people so it is still here and being used as usual! Garen looks around him as he doesn¡¯t even know where to go¡­. He wants to look for a place that sells candy¡­. he remembers seeing many of these kinds of shops near the streets so he just walks along this street! And soon he found one, it was not as elegant as the shopping mall and look rather usual with its unique sci-fi taste¡­ He came in and saw a lot of parents and kids buying candy, so he looked around and found some that piqued his interest... Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Well, it was just normal round candy¡­ The flavors were varied, including apple, strawberry, chocolate, milk, and many more. The food in this world is still similar, and even the fruits and meat were nearly identical, so Garen was not too confused. He look at the price and found it was dirt cheap! Well, at least one candy in that shopping mall can buy a whole pack here¡­. ¡°Sir please give me one hundred packs of this candy, I want the strawberry one.¡± hearing this the middle-aged owner was stunned but soon pack exactly one hundred and twenty¡­. well it was a bonus from this owner¡­ He even gives him his business card ¡°Young man if you need any candy just contact me I will prepare it for you!¡± Garen nodded and say his thanks ¡°Thank you I will surely call you later.¡± well he really will call him again later¡­ But now he found a problem¡­ he can¡¯t sneak this candy inside his phone! With that he can only bring it along the way¡­ one hundred strawberry candies¡­ luckily the owner gives him a paper bag.. still, it makes him look like a man after going on a shopping spree! Just the paper bag logo was a cute girl eating candy and many more candy shapes around the bag¡­.. This does not make him embarrassed enough as it is not weird for an adult man like him to buy many candies right? maybe he will give it to some children later, yeah... This makes him think about orphanages¡­ if he donate many children''s toys then it is not weird if some items were mysteriously gone right? And along the way, he can pick some for these children''s guardians, giving him excuses to take adult clothing as well! With that, his strategy is already more or less flawless... and here is a problem... he just doesn''t know where he is now! ¡°haa I lost¡­. as an adult¡­.¡± Garen sighed it was a big problem as he don¡¯t know his way back¡­ He did even not know what that shopping mall was called! But soon he heard a ringtone coming from his pocket and remember his driver give him a phone before, he pick up and swipe it¡­ This phone''s function and display were still similar to what he was used to, just the outer appearance was different from what he know¡­ With that, the call connected, and a sound can be heard ¡°Young master, young Miss already done shopping so she asked me to contact you.¡± Hearing this Garen sighs ¡°Yes I am done shopping, pick me up on the road.¡± Hearing this his driver was stunned ¡°Which road¡­ I mean what nearest place from there ?¡± Garen looked around and discovered a few shops, so he simply told his driver the name of the shop...In reality, his driver doesn''t need to ask because he already knows where he is!.... but it''s better to pretend you''re unaware of this, right? As to how does he know where Garen was? Imagine how simple it was for a small device that .. yeah that one. Soon after a car can be seen driving toward him and stopping right near him, a cool-looking driver comes out and opens the door for him¡­ take all his shopping bag, and store them in the trunk. As for Garen ? he already come inside¡­ This scene makes many people shocked ¡°Wow it was a luxury car! Who is that young man ? he just walk right beside me before!¡± a young girl can¡¯t help but exclaim¡­ A more knowledgeable person said with confidence ¡°Don¡¯t you know him? I hesitate before as maybe he just look similar but now I am sure! It was the young master of the White corporation!¡± Soon many discussions can be heard¡­. Garen can¡¯t help but sigh, he now feels like reading some young master story¡­... soon the driver stores all his candy inside the car and start to drive away! This scene became a major highlight on some internet news in the blink of an eye... ¡°White Corporation young master caught on camera buying tons of candy!¡± With that, an image of a handsome young man with silver-white hair and red eyes can be seen¡­. Soon the driver and car picture was captured, and with that, he become some kind of news for the day! Of course, Garen doesn¡¯t know about this¡­.. as he doesn¡¯t even know how to operate the internet.. or rather he does not even think about it yet¡­ When he is inside the car Cindy looks at him weirdly but decided not to ask anything¡­ But Garen of course knew about this so he asked his driver ¡°Was there any orphanage near this place? give them some of that bag, left some for me to eat¡­¡± This makes his driver blink¡­. of course, he still nods ¡°Yes young master, there is one around here but young miss¡­¡± Soon Cindy''s voice can be heard ¡°It was fine just go..¡± With Cindy''s approval, he can only drive toward the orphanage and directly give some paper bags filled with candy to them! Garen can see many kids run toward his driver and ask for candy! His driver patiently gives them one by one¡­ Garen that looks at this scene feels something weird¡­. in his heart of course¡­ Cindy does not say anything as she still feels something was wrong with his brother but it was still a good thing so she just lets it slide¡­ Lila was the one that spoke ¡° Dad, did you have my candy too ?¡± hearing this Garen was stunned he remember to promise something¡­. ¡°uhum yes yes it was why I left some¡­¡± hearing this Lila was excited ¡° Yey! Thank you Dad!¡± she want to hug him but the car was not wide enough to do that now as Lila sit on the back while Garen on the front..... Lila blink and then she just hug Cindy the one beside her ¡­¡­ as it was already an awkward situation and Lila don''t know what to do... Well as another kid Cindy hugs Lila back¡­. Garen can only nod, expecting all of his candy to be gone by now..... But, for the time being, he has a perfect excuse! It''s not like taking candy to his game world couldn''t be postponed for a day or two! His family was rich so it was not like he need to urgently expand his shop to make money¡­ as dangerous situation or people like an assassin? his family surely has many enemies but from the look of it, they not reach a live and dead state yet¡­. Even with Rose''s abilities, they would not be wealthy now! They are already so down on earth if that happened¡­. maybe even mysteriously ''gone''. This also this proves that Rose was a capable woman¡­. Ch 22 Selling Things Garen soon sees his driver return, and they drive back to their mansion! When they returned, Lila and Anne were being dragged by Cindy, preventing him from stuffing the candy into his phone.... This was troublesome¡­ Garen notices his driver assisting other employees who are carrying numerous bags out of the car, He then takes one bag of candy and returns to his room to play with his old phone! He discovered that his gems were already 8.100! It only takes one full day to reach 10.000! It is still a hassle to bargain with each customer... And it was troublesome to restock every time! So a manager was definitely required! In reality, there is a staff that can be hired for 5000 gems, but they can only haggle over the price and cannot restock... But now that his gems were nearly 10.000, it was better to wait another day. Of course, Garen take care of his customer first when he looked at his phone, with four pikes on display and four people in line, he start to talk to them one by one and sold two pikes at the end! He replenishes the pike and even purchases eight iron swords to pass the time.... Well, bargaining takes up his time and makes time seem fleeting.... With that, he starts to tend his shop¡­ Not long after it was time to eat, he specifically asked Anne to accompany him for a moment because he wanted to smuggle some candy! Anne come and bring in two packs of candy inside his shop and then she was summoned back to the real world, soon after Anne come out of his room with a paper bag full of candy! It was for Lila¡­ After meeting Cindy, she became very fond of playing with her, and Garen was too lazy to send it on his own... As a result, Anne was his choice. After Anne is gone, he displays two packs of candy in his shop¡­ as for the price? he let his customer decide! Soon a young man comes in and looks at the iron sword and pike, but he suddenly looks at this pink small ball-like object he can¡¯t help but ask the shopkeeper. ¡°Boss, what kind of weapon is this? it looks like candy.. is it poisonous candy ?¡± the young man can¡¯t help but ask like this¡­. ¡°And what is this wrapping thing? it can be see-through!¡± The young man noticed something unusual about this pack of candy... There''s even one of each in this candy-like substance. With that a bubble pop out and Garen can write a text, he just say that it was a candy¡­. ¡°.. so you sell candy? how much is this ?¡± the young man asked, soon another bubble appeared on Garen''s screen and he can write how much it is. As usual, he writes 999.999.999 gold coins! Of course, the young man found it as a joke ¡°Well boss I know it''s not that expensive.. so how about 500 gold coins ?¡± Garen think for a moment¡­ it was almost the same as the iron pike price! But he shakes his head and writes 10.000 gold coins! The young man sighs ¡°Come on boss it''s not how to haggle.. how about 1000 Gold coins ?¡± Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. Hearing this Garen was stunned¡­. this price was rather expensive¡­. it was comparable with clothing that he sold last time! But maybe there was a reason for this, remembering the word from this young man he can decide that it was the wrappings that make him want to pay more¡­. And he observe this young man in more detail, he use a leather armor set but it did not look like a normal one! It was not rare to use leather armor or rather most of his customer was an adventurer that use various armor and even bring weapons too, but this young man''s leather armor looks much more sturdy than others and has some more subtle differences from normal ones. He can conclude that this young man was rather rich! With that, he still lowers the price but not so much to ¡°9.000 gold coins¡± Hearing this makes the young man sighed. ¡°alright boss I am a bit tired of this thing so 5.000 gold coins that were my last offer!¡± the young man state his last price. Garen nodded and click Accept! he was satisfied with this price! soon 5.000 gold coins were added to his account! while the young boy was happily going out of his shop¡­. And soon after other people come by, but they only buy ordinary iron swords and take a peek at his candy¡­ Soon he sold out all his sword and no other people buy his candy¡­. they only asked for the price and after that choose another thing. But soon something else happened, it was a young man with modern clothing! Well, it was the set that he had previously sold... well, despite wearing modern clothing, he wears a sword around his waist. He takes a peek at Garen''s candy but he can only sigh¡­ the price was super expensive for him! He already tries to lower the price to 500 Gold coins but Garen does not budge at all! The young man can only go out as Garen forgot to restock his swords¡­. so the cheapest in his shop was an iron Pike that cost 450 Gold coins¡­. In the end, another customer come in, it was a young girl, Garen now tries to look at his customer in much more detail.. it can reflect their wealth! This young girl was a bit different from the normal customers, usually, they use coarse clothing or a full set of armor, but this young girl was not only use a dress she look beautiful too! She has blonde hair and golden eyes, she looks like a kind lady. But still, she have a long staff with her, it seems she was a mage or something like that. Soon her eyes were locked into strawberry candy on a table, she does not even walk close to that table and walked straight to Garen''s character! ¡°Sir how much was that candy?¡± the girl asked him politely, hearing this Garen start to think! Soon he states the same price as that young man ¡°5.000 Gold coins!¡± the girl nods and directly accepts it! ¡°thankyou sir for giving me a fair price!¡± with that she picks up this candy pack and pays 5.000 Gold coins straight to Garen. This makes him a bit speechless¡­. he knows she will be rich but this is something else! Well maybe for him 5000 gold coins were many but for some people, even 10.000 gold coins were only tips¡­. With that in mind, he starts to think about how to smuggle some more candy! Wait maybe he can smuggle some luxurious-looking item, with this he can attract rich customers! But then he remembers something else.... in this game, there was only a village! And he is now in that village¡­. So who is this rich and noble-looking girl? where does she come from? or just maybe there are town or something near here? Garen can only shake his head¡­ the graphic seems real but in essence it was only a game¡­. maybe.. or it was the real world somewhere¡­. he doesn¡¯t know¡­. Anyway, it appears that the more luxurious items he sells the more richer his customer will be! it is logical, if he thinks about what he sold so far like an iron sword, the one that comes will always be a pauper¡­ when he display an iron pike his customer was more like a seasoned adventurer, as for the clothing set he sold before they were much richer... except the young man... it seems he still needs to be aware of lowering his price... he still not forget about that young man... Alright, it was him that give in too soon so he let that young man get it dirt cheap¡­ while the middle age man was rather fair as he want it for his son''s birthday. Err well he now feels that selling his candy on 5.000 Gold coins was a little lacking.. but then he remembers the girl''s statement that he sell it at a fair price! Well, he will not buy a pack of candy for 5.000 gold coins if he was an NPC¡­. as he is poor¡­ he doesn¡¯t know about rich people, even in real life they can do anything that looks Un logical or excessive for normal people¡­ like a golden toilet from real gold¡­. anyway it was what he remembers on the internet in his previous world, what more this rumor may be fake too, who knows? Soon he tends to another customer but forgets to restock his iron sword¡­ again.... In the end, he starts to restock and sell it again! He sells and restocks until late at night.... After dinner, he sends Anne and Lila back into their world, and when they part, Cindy can only part with a sad expression.... it seems they are so close now. Soon he starts to rest too, but before that, he wants to look for something to spend on! Or rather he has 11.684 Gold coins so he can buy an item in that range and sell it again! Soon he walked toward the blacksmith again and look for items that on the 10.000 price range, he only found out that Iron Pike was the best in this blacksmith! He then remember that he just play this game for a few days so it was still on the beginner map¡­ maybe. As there is no map here but he believes that if he was a game developer he will set restrictions like this so people can focus on doing something like leveling up. He can only sigh and try to think about something else¡­ Ch 23 Candy And now what he thought was how to expand his shop, he can recruit a manager tomorrow so he can at least try to renovate his shop and make it much more viewable... as he only has two tables to display items and that was all! it''s not really an appropriate shop, right? Soon he looks around on the furniture menu and buys one medium table and places it near the small table, it takes him 1.500 Gold coins for this medium table and it can hold 8 items! So even though it was called medium it was rather long¡­. He then looked around and eventually purchased a decoration, which was a shop sign! As for the name of his shop ? he just call it Myriad World Shop and soon it was placed near his door and written in an unknown language! as for his logo, he simply used two circles overlapping each other with Lion''s head in the center. this sign cost him 2.000 gold coins¡­. this makes his money drained fast! but at least he has a rather good-looking sign outside. what''s more, he bought a counter.. how come a shop does not even have a counter! It does not look like a shop when there is no counter right? This counter was expensive it cost him 3.000 Gold coins for a small one, this make his money down to 5,184 Gold coins after buying iron pike it was even lower than this! But, in the end, he can purchase 14 pikes and display them all! It was entirely coincidental that his money was just enough to buy 14 pikes! because he did not think anything while doing all of this... Soon he want to sleep as he was a bit tired after going shopping and moving around so much so he walked toward his bed and starts to sleep. The next day he was called up and started to eat! Of course, Anne and Lila come out and join them too. While Lila and Anne play with Cindy he alone goes out! Of course with the help of his driver. ¡°Young master where will you go today ?¡± the driver asks him politely, soon Garen tells him his mission! ¡°let¡¯s go to a candy shop! and maybe children shop too.¡± Garen thinks that today he will not only bring some more candy, but he will also sell some children''s clothing in his shop! Of course, he has no idea if it can be sold because his customers are all adults or teenagers! He never sees any children.... Even his candy was bought by two teens. Still, it is worth trying! Because the driver knows what this will be used for, he does not look for a store that sells branded items, but rather ordinary ones it was a shop near the street! Garen walked out of his car, as his car and appearance were rather eye-catching he drew some attention, and this make him a bit dazed but he continue walking inside the shop...His driver, of course, came along to accompany him! If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Garen looks around and even attracts this shop employee to come and serve him. This employee has no idea who he is, but she recognizes him as an important figure because there is a man that wears black sunglasses and stands behind Garen! ¡°Welcome to our Happy Children Shop! What will you look for sir? I will prepare them for you!¡± Hearing this Garen nodded and say some words ¡°Bring me fifty children''s clothing of each gender, and did you sell candy here ?¡± The employee was beam with joy when she hear this but still, she act calmly and say ¡°Yes sir, of course, did you have a size in mind? As for candy we are sorry sir it is still not available here for now.¡± Hearing this Garen only nod and tell ¡°Alright prepare many sizes for children¡­ uh how old are they ?¡± Garen can¡¯t help but talk with his driver¡­ Soon his driver was the one that take control! The shop employee starts to talk with his driver for a bit longer, he can only blink as he looks around¡­. He don¡¯t know that his picture was being taken secretly again! And news of the ¡®young master of White Corporation was found in children''s shop!¡± was spread like wildfire¡­. He bring back many clothing for kids and even the back row of his car was filled with paper bags¡­. as for payment? it seems his driver already settle it¡­. Soon he think about that candy shop, the owner was kind enough to give him many bonuses so he remember that place and ask his driver to drive there. He goes there and buys a large quantity of candy again! As a result, the owner of this shop treats him like a king... And after that, they drive to that orphanage and Garen let his diver handle it, but this time his driver appears overwhelmed and subconsciously says, "Young master, how about you come with me?" I''m sure these kids will like you!"... uhum... I''ll go now." He shook his head and ran back... as he see Garen only stare at him... However, it appears that he is unable to handle it well because there are so many bags; even with the assistance of the orphanage guardian, They circle the driver while receiving clothes and candy, but some of the children were already so close to the car! In the end, he can¡¯t help but see a face stuck outside his window...... separated only by that thin glass.. a boy''s face can be seen! he looks at him blankly and Garen looks at the boy blankly...... Garen can only sigh...... Soon the driver notices something and cold sweat cover his back! He walks quickly toward the kid and lifts him up. ¡°erm, kid don''t do that it''s not a good thing to do¡­¡± still a kid was a kid, he nod but then ask ¡°Who is that uncle ?¡± Hearing this the other kid''s interest was piqued! Many kids look at the car and even some of their guardians look at the car¡­ but as an adult, they have more experience and quickly divert these kids'' attention. ¡°alright kids let¡¯s try these clothes first!¡± a young woman said and they work like a charm! These curious kids run happily toward her and bring back their clothes! Even so, some adults apologize to the driver, who can only nod. As they talk not so loud Garen can¡¯t hear it from inside, he only hears that young woman shouting about clothes¡­ Soon the driver comes to him and says ¡°Young master this orphanage director wants to say his thanks to you personally!¡± Garen thinks for a moment, it seems he will do this quite often so he finally comes out of the car on his own! Seeing a young man come out, the director and others approach him! ¡°Young sir thank you for your support! And I must apologize for this kid''s behavior¡­¡± The director was an old man, he look like a kind old man. Garen only nods ¡°It''s fine I will come to visit again when I have time.¡± Hearing this the director can only smile and thank him again. Garen nod and come inside the car again, seeing this the driver can only sigh and say something to the orphanage director and come inside to drive. His driver gives all the clothes and candy inside this car, as it was what Garen told him to do he only left four packs of Candy on his seat so this time Garen can bring back four packs of candy! When they arrive at his mansion, Garen rushes inside his room, but Anne, Cindy, and Lila see him first, and seeing the candy picture in a paper bag, Lila is the first one to run toward him! ¡°Dad! You bought me some more candy ?¡± Lila runs and looks at him with eager eyes¡­. Garen then gives her a pack of candy! Cindy come too and he give her one¡­ as for Anne she is an adult but it seems she is interested in candy too¡­ Garen sighed in his heart and give her one too¡­ in the end, he only brings back one¡­. Of course, he let Anne bring it into his shop¡­ She is a sensible girl so she says ¡°Boss did you want me to place this candy too ?¡± it was her own candy. Garen only shakes ¡°It was for you so just enjoy it.. remember to brush your teeth and drink water after that¡­¡± Anne smiles Happily and brings that one pack to Garen''s shop and after that, she runs back to Cindy''s room! Of course with her candy pack¡­ Garen looks at his shop¡­ there are many people lined up and he sells 6 iron pikes in this wave of customers! It appears that the profit will raise higher and higher after this! Of course, as the Candy pack was being displayed many people asked about the candy price, but still, no people could afford 5.000 Gold coins! In the end, they can only look at it and go out, they can¡¯t even afford the iron pike. After this Garen focuses on his Gems! as It was time to do what he wanted to do! Ch 24 Manager His Gems already 10.200 gems! He can recruit a manager from now on! With that, he quickly open the gems mall, and look for a manager! Managers can be used to restock and sell items, however, they cannot automatically determine which items to choose, so Garen must manually set which items need to be restocked! In truth, the manager can send an adventurer to explore as well, but there is currently no adventurer.... as Lila and Anne were playing with Cindy.... he has no idea what they do. Isn''t Cindy supposed to go to school? Nonetheless, it was far more profitable with recruiting manager than with him manually restocking and selling! Furthermore, he can receive reports every day and check on them occasionally so he can do other things that he needs to do, such as trying to learn more about lava ball power after he made a contract with Lila, he was slow to condense it and he can only condense one, what more he never test his power! Rose did not tell him to do anything aside from asking about how his progress was which he can only smile foolishly¡­ Soon he choose to Recruit this manager and his gems were depleted by 10.000! Now a custom character design panel can be seen¡­ well it is more like choosing a template for his manager. There is no skill bar or anything like that and only appearance can be chosen so he looks around on each template, from a young to old ¡­ beautiful woman and handsome man. He looks around and chooses one! As a manager of this kind of shop they must be scary right ? he mainly sells weapons for the adventurer! So he chooses a veteran-looking old man with a scar and even loses one of his eyes! after paying an old man can be seen entering his shop and sitting at the counter... What else has he done? After checking the shop inventory on the counter, he sighs and walks out... Soon after, a panel appears, allowing Garen to select which items can be restocked and their prices, so he selects an iron sword and sells it for 30 gold coins, as well as an iron pike for 450 gold coins. As for his candies? surprisingly it was available on the list! Just it restock icon was grayed out so he can only choose its price, he set it for 5.000 Gold coins. After that, he simply watches as this old man returns with many iron swords and places them on the shelf! Soon many people come and try to buy this iron sword, he sells them well and only sells it at the price that was being set. Garen can now see how beneficial having a manager was! He doesn''t have to bargain with this customer again... But it was a bit weird seeing this veteran old man smile widely and offer the candy¡­.. ¡°Young man look at this candy, don¡¯t you know how tasty it is? it was only 5.000 Gold coins! What''s more, it was an exclusive item and¡­.¡± Garen can see that now his customer was the one that look baffled¡­. as this manager keep telling them to buy this and that¡­. In the end, some people purchased two iron swords at the same time! Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. As for the sweat words being used for this? ¡° Kids don¡¯t you know that two swords was better than one? look here it was cheap and only 30 gold coins! Where do you think you can get one of these qualities? come come let me list it on your bill!" The old man was so excited¡­ This time it increases his earnings! And perhaps a little forceful... He just hopes that none of his customers leave after this... And surprisingly he found a familiar customer, it was the young girl from before! The one that has blonde hair and golden eyes! This time she did not come to him and walked straight to his manager. ¡°Sir, did you still have that candy ?¡± hearing this word the old man nodded and brought that candy to her and even stuff it in this young lady''s arms. "Of course, young lady, take a look here!" It was still freshly delivered today! Naturally, the cost was only 5.000 gold coins!" Seeing this the girl just nod and smile back, she quickly pay and left! And without any warning, this old man just come out of his shop and bring back many iron swords! This makes Garen look a bit baffled too¡­. This old man looks too energetic for his age¡­ And just like that Garen continuously see this old man offer a sword to other customer and sometimes make them buy two swords! Garen can only sigh and stop looking it was a headache for him. He soon begins to concentrate on his power! It was time to figure out how to condense this lava ball much faster and even throw it away! He walks straight to the practice field after that! He tried to condense the lava ball first, but it still took so long, for a real battle, it was too slow! Either his enemy already hacks him to death or his enemy was killed by his teammates¡­ So he focuses only on this condensing part first! It was difficult to imagine a lava ball... and even more difficult to allow his energy to flow! He realized this energy was mana that flowed inside his body and now what he need to do was he needed this mana to flow much faster but not disperse at all! Even this part was difficult, and it took him more than four hours to make it a little faster... in fact, he will not know that it was moving a little faster if not he do it so many times! He can only sigh, it was so difficult... But it was still progress, right? He can only take his time to learn more. He can only improve it slightly even after he eats dinner with that he sighs and tries to rest for the day! But before that, he wants to know how many items are being sold by his manager! And surprisingly this old man sold 263 iron swords and 13 iron pike! He looks at his gold coins and found out it increasing rapidly! At the very least, it was better than he did and can be said twice as much... Still, it was a good thing! In total, he has a profit of 2748 Gold coins which makes him 8.472 gold coins! But of course, it soon reduced again as his manager restock his items. His candy was still the most profitable! But it was difficult to bring it into his shop, and did it have any effect on demand? Because it was a rare commodity at the time, people would pay 5.000 gold coins for it. But what if he floods the market with this and the price will be reduced much? and it seems that even if he displays this candy as long as he keeps it at 5.000 Gold coins a pack it will be rare for the customer to buy! But of course, this was all just his idea about supply and demand, not a reality, he needs to check about this as they progress... Furthermore, this only occurs if he has a way to smuggle so much candy at once! In the end, he just sleeps for today¡­ tomorrow he will try to smuggle some candy again¡­ The next day it was as usual, he first check out his phone and see what is this old man doing¡­ who know that he already sells many items! Of course, it was some swords and a few pikes¡­. and it seems that the young lady comes again! Garen happened to see this himself, different from other customers this young lady directly asking for another candy! "Is there any more candy, Sir?" the young lady asked again, but the old man sighed. "I''m sorry young lady, it was so difficult to obtain this candy, and all of our stock was depleted yesterday, you must know that this candy came from a faraway land, and we need some time to get it back, but don''t worry it will be there soon! "I believe a batch of these candies will arrive today." The old man looks so confident and makes the young lady nod, ¡° I will waiting for it then will it arrive this afternoon ?¡± Hearing this the old man sighs again ¡°Yes at most at night they will come, you can come and visit again tonight!¡± The young lady nods and says ¡°Thank you, Sir, I will waiting for it!¡± with that this young lady walks out of Garen''s shop¡­. But this makes Garen sweat so much! Can his manager promise something like this? if he can¡¯t fulfill this promise won¡¯t it be a super big problem? He wants to curse now¡­.. In the end, he sigh as a panel appeared [Your manager asked for another candy please send it as soon as possible!] Garen doesn¡¯t know what to do¡­.. So he just summons back Anne and Lila to eat breakfast! But before that, he check their character panel first¡­ but who knows that this old man was there too! This old man was considered an adventurer in this game! Garen look at this old man but his name only old manager and there are no skills and such¡­. well in truth there are but it was all a question mark. But what make him excited was this manager can be summoned! So he can steal as much candy as he wants now! Of course, he needs excuses to do that¡­.. Ch 25 Smuggling Candy Still, Garen did not summon this old man yet and go to eat breakfast with the others first! As for his reason to buy candy on his own later¡­ well he can just think about that when the time comes¡­ When they eat today something was different, Janet report about that dungeon, the one that was being taken back by the adventurer guild. ¡°Today we have some news from Cowman Plain dungeon, first of all, they send a group of experts to conquer this dungeon, it consists of 32 Advanced adventurers and 100 official adventurers with additional support.¡± "but today they were discovered to be pushed back..... it appears that there is an error in the measuring device and this dungeon was a large scale one, what we reached before was the true outer area, which is why we fought with a leader Cow." ¡°and this leader Cow was only a captain of a team, and the deeper they go the more team there will be, at some point, they fight with Cow general, and this general was already on top of hard-level difficulty.¡± "Even their strongest group can only fight it for a moment, what''s more, this general has many captains and soldier bulls around him... and this soldier bull was wearing much better equipment than the one we saw before!" Janet''s report opened Garen''s eyes to the fact that they really can''t conquer that dungeon... even a more powerful group can''t! From Janet''s explanation, this dungeon will be taken over by one of the top groups in their city. It was a really big group and even have an expert as group leader, But one piece of news that was most interesting for Garen was that the mysterious forest was disappeared¡­ They send some scouts to map this area and never found out about that forest again! This makes Garen have some ideas but it was only his thought, he doesn¡¯t know if it was real¡­ They soon keep eating and going their separate ways... As for Garen? he is going for a stroll! It was his excuse to smuggle in some more candy. Of course, he needs to have his driver take him to the candy store first... But this time he has a different strategy, when they arrive he says to his driver. ¡°Go buy a few books for children to learn, I will pick some candy here so it was much more effective.¡± Hearing this his driver nod and drive to a bookstore while he chooses some candy! And of course, he did not deliberately summon his manager first, he buy fifty packs of candy and go out of the shop¡­ he look for a public toilet and come inside. Soon a blinking light comes out and a loud voice can be heard ¡°Boss did you bring back that item?¡± Garen looks at this old man¡­ he looks like a veteran soldier or mercenary, he just let him stuff twenty of this candy pack! This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Seeing so much candy the old man beamed and did even not care about their transaction place¡­. ¡°Hahahaha! Don¡¯t worry boss I will sell it soon! We will be rich for sure!¡± with that the old man disappeared¡­. Soon Garen make sure to fill the empty paper bags with another candy pack so it look like there is nothing wrong with the empty paper bags. He then come out and was shocked to see officers circling him¡­. ¡°erm what can I help you with officer ?¡± Soon he was escorted to the police station and questioned a few times¡­. it seems someone report that there are illegal transactions there! Who knows this police was so fast this day¡­.. luckily he just has candies, he did not say anything about his ability, he just told them he was buying candy......After being released his candies are already gone.. of course, they need to check it all right? In case one of them really some illegal item¡­. He doesn¡¯t have any choice and buy a new one¡­.. As for remuneration ? he got back a little support money ¡­ for him, it was just a paper¡­. Anyway, when he goes out of the police station, his driver already waiting there¡­. he doesn¡¯t ask anything and already packs a new candy for him. This makes him sigh it seems his driver knew what happened! Soon they drive to the orphanage like usual and distribute these books and items! When he got back it was already noon and he eat with Cindy, Lila, and Anne, Rose already go working so she will eat outside like usual. Of course, like before his driver spare one paper bag of candy for Garen, and he want to give these three girls candy¡­ but thinking about this it was not good for them to eat candy every single day! With that, he just smuggle it back into his shop¡­. and got an additional four candy packs! This adds his candy pack to twenty-four! Of course, Garen let his manager sell it just one at a time¡­ and max four packs per day, because he is unsure whether it will flood the market and cause the price to fall! With that, he applies some restrictions, and soon he is only concerned with honing his skills. This time he still wants to try condensing his lava ball faster¡­ He was too lazy to go out of his room so he just train there after eating. His talent was not great, as he appeared to be struggling to condense it quickly enough! Then this day passes by just like that again¡­. he sighs... after this long, he can''t make any progress... It appears that he needed much more time to learn this ability before it was good enough for battle. As to why he does this? it was because Rose keep asking about his progress¡­. it seems she did not give up on the idea of conquering a dungeon, even though that one was already gone, she look for another dungeon to conquer. This time she just look for a more easy one. Sadly all dungeon is already occupied by groups and corporation so she can only hope a new dungeon pop out! or some group can¡¯t manage this dungeon anymore, usually, they have a heavy casualty after doing something and this makes them can¡¯t manage their dungeon so they choose to sell the right of that said dungeon! But it was rare for that to happen. So now Rose can only accumulate more power first and as White corporation''s main business was adventurer equipment so it will take time to do that. After thinking about his sister''s goal Garen then focus on his phone, it was night and that young lady come again! She walk straight to his manager ¡°Sir did it already arrive?¡± The manager smiles widely ¡°Of course young lady! We have a lot of packs from today''s delivery, so we''ll be fine for a few days." Hearing this the young lady smiles and says ¡°Alright how many there are? I will buy them all!¡± This makes his manager think.. Garen already set that only four packs per day were allowed to be sold but this was a super big customer! So if he sells all 24 packs they will have a windfall! And soon a bubble appeared on Garen''s screen [Old Manager asked permission to sell all candy stock!] [Accept] [Reject] This makes Garen don¡¯t know what to do¡­ he thinks for a moment and chooses to Accept! Soon the old manager says ¡°Young lady we have a total of 24 packs of candy¡­ at first, we plan to sell it at most four a day as the next shipment will come quite late¡­ so what about that ?¡± The young lady nod and smile at him "I''ll take twenty then, and with four packs left, you can sell it sparingly until the next shipment arrives, and it won''t hurt your shop''s reputation too much." Hearing this the manager nods too ¡°Thank you for your understanding young lady!¡± soon he gives her twenty packs of candy¡­ Garen isn''t sure if it was because of the game, but it quickly vanished when this young lady take it and she appeared to be carrying nothing when she walked out! Of course, she paid first and this made Garen have additional 100.000 Gold coins! This was so much! Garen sighed as he realized this young lady was not a normal person! But Garen soon sighed again, forgetting to mention that eating too much candy is bad for the body! What can he do now that the young lady has left? Hopefully, she is still healthy and will return to purchase another pack..... Garen then focuses on his gold coins! It was so many and he can do many things! The first thing he do was to expand his shop by adding a shelf, there are some other kinds of furniture aside from the table there are weapons racks, shelves, and mannequins to display armor. Their price was slightly higher than the table, but it was the same for each size because they also had multiple size options! And, of course, they were far more visually appealing than simply placing items on tables... For the small one, it cost him 1.000 Gold coins and the medium one 3.000 gold coins which means it was double the price of the tables! Still, he chooses to buy a medium one for each type! Except for the mannequin as it only has one size but has a different variant for decoration and the price was depend on it variant, he choose the one that have a 3.000 gold coins price tag first. For the weapon rack, It could display six weapons on a medium rack, the same for the shelf which can hold six items, but only one set for the mannequin. Ch 26 Expanding Now Garen places each type of furniture on a different corner so he wants to make a segmentation of his shop. He still left the table there, so now he can see his shop is getting a little crowded, after thinking and looking at his money he decides to expand it! He clicks on the land beside him and presses Buy it! Soon the Village chief come again! ¡°Young man! I have so much hope for you and you do not disappoint me! Here is the land deed for that land, you can expand your shop now!¡± this village chief looks so happy that this shop growing. And soon magically like any other normal game, Garen''s shop starts to expand! That land starts to be covered with white smoke and soon as it disperses he can see his shop become larger! And now he can feel his shop a bit sparse but he does not buy any more shelf and just let it be for now. Garen looks at an empty shelf, rack, and mannequin this make him starts to think, so he clicks on the manager panel and assigns him to restock some item! Of course, what he wanted to add was armor from the blacksmith, a Potion from the alchemist, an accessory from the artisan, and a magic item from the magic workshop! For armor, he buys the most expensive one, one set of heavy armor that have the price of 1.800 gold coins! It have a helmet, top and bottom armor, a bracer, and boots so it was five items which mean each item was 360 gold coins. He expects it to have a 20 percent profit like iron pike 90 gold coins per piece so in total he can profit from 450 gold coins! He let his manager buy one for display, as for potion there are some different categories, health potions, mana potions, potions that add effect even refreshing drinks can be found! But this price was a bit more expensive, Garen already choose the medium health potion and medium mana potion, these two can be used to heal medium types of injury and recover more mana than the smaller version. It was expensive as each one was 1.200 gold coins! And this makes him a profit of 300 per potion, almost the same as selling one set of armor! From the artisan, he just choose a necklace it has the effect of slightly recovering mana! But it price was crazy it was he buy it at 2.800 gold coins! With that, he expected to profit from 700 gold coins! The last item was from the magic workshop or maybe the mage tower ? as it was circular and tall¡­ well anyway it was a place that was resided by a grand master mage¡­ so it was related to magic of course. He buys a magic scroll from there! This scroll can be used to summon magic that is sealed there after being torn open, this scroll was a magic scroll of fire which if used can throw four fireballs toward a target! And for the price, it was not as expensive as that necklace but still more expensive than potions! Each one was 1.600 gold coins and he can profit of 400 gold coins! This fireball scroll looks useless as there was a mage, but one must know that everybody can use this scroll and it does not consume any mana! If this scroll is used in urgent situations it will be a powerful lifesaver! what''s more, it was made by a grand master so it must be a powerful fireball! This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. He just let his manager manage it and as he has a problem with mathematics, even in the previous world he was bad with it! so he just let him report the profit of the day later¡­. Still, he has a lot of spare money so he tries to decorate this shop a bit more¡­. he looks at this basic wooden shop and decided to upgrade it to a much more elegant-looking shop! It is still made of wood but at least not look like a cheap shop that sells junk items¡­. This cost him 20.000 gold coins! And soon he add a bit more decoration like a new hanging lamp and such to match with this new wooden shop style! which cost him another 25.000 gold coins! He''ll keep the rest of the money for his manager to restock the items later! After doing all of this Garen started to feel tired and starts to sleep! The next day he just did something as usual! He look at the profit he made yesterday and found out he made a profit of 3.750 Gold coins! Each new item was sold a few times and made him have this much profit... He doesn¡¯t know if his shop''s appearance affects his customer wealth as it was too soon to decide anything. As before he sleep it was already almost midnight so the customer might come just for a few more hours after that there will be no more.... While now in the morning it was only 8 AM, if a customer come looking inside his shop from six then at most he open this shop for four hours! it is still early to think about the appearance effect. however, according to yesterday''s report, It is already over 3000 so he can expect more than 15 thousand gold coins today! If there is someone that buys his candy then it will be on the twenty thousand mark! He almost covers half of his expenses from yesterday with this! Of course, it was only an estimate, he''d have to wait until the evening to get a more accurate report. Garen looked at his money it was still enough for him to spend on something else, after thinking this time he didn''t look for any decorations and focused more on his adventurer slot! As long as he has enough gems he can draw again! Who knows if he found someone that more powerful this time? Lila was slightly weaker than Anne in terms of destructive power, but she is a long-range attacker so every enemy can deal with her well¡­ So it is not a loss of gems, it can be said to be a profit! Of course, as Lila has some weird requirements it seems that if he uses gems some people will ask him something weird¡­. And the problem was he will not know what their requirement was before he pick them up! Still, Garen look at his gems now as it was already more than two days he already have 5.000 Gold coins! With that, he can draw 5 times! If he wanted to he can wait for tomorrow as it will be 7 times at least. he will just do that later, for now, he just needs to open this adventurer slot by paying 10.000 gold coins. He will soon have three adventurers, his manager was not included in this adventurer slot! it was categorized as an adventurer but did not take any space at all! The next slot required 20.000 Gold coins to unlock, making it twice as expensive. This day there is something else that makes him a bit shocked.. when he gives candy and his daily necessities as usual a young man was stopping his car just as they come out of the orphanage! This young man was fine it was not like his driver was blind and quickly step the pedal¡­. But this makes him almost thrown out! He was too lazy to use his seat belt and now he regrets that he doesn¡¯t use a seat belt! Soon he can see the young man, his driver already come out and try to argue with the young man but he can only hear a sentence. ¡°Don¡¯t ever think to use this to get back at me! If you are brave enough then let''s have a duel!¡± This makes him a bit puzzled he can¡¯t help but think ¡°Did this young man have some problem with his brain ?¡± He can hear what this young man says next ¡°This will be my last reminder! If you do this one more time then I will kill you!¡± This confirms his thought this young man has a problem with his brain so he just let it go and opens his car window then says to his driver ¡°Just chase him out!¡± Something happened right in front of Garen''s eyes, and this seemingly humble driver transformed into a ferocious beast! His expression was frightening, and his muscle was clearly visible... He did not injure the young man, but simply being stared at by this driver caused the young man to weave and eventually walk out on his own..... after this, his driver turns to normal and next drove with a smile as usual¡­.. Garen sighed it seems this driver was not only a normal driver but he did not think it was weird, he is a rich man''s son now! So he observes his driver now, who is still the standard driver in his house, but he can see a slight difference from normal people, He has a faint scar on his neck and as he examines it more closely he realizes he is not normal... Anyway, he thinks back to that strange young man. In fact, he has some kind of idea as this young man says the words "get back" which means they have a problem sometimes a go? Otherwise, he will not appear today, what''s more, that arrogant way of goading makes his head muscle twitch as he feels some anger... But he can''t remember offending anyone recently... Only a police officer... uhum, he just let it go because it wasn''t that important... What was important was that he smuggled twenty packs of candy as usual! But he forbids his manager from selling it for a few days because he wants these four candies to sell out first! Of course, if people asked and offered a rather high price, why didn''t he let it go? It''s not like he can flood the market by selling it in bulk to one or two people! Except they sell it out again.... but judging by the young lady''s appearance, she buys for her own consumption. So it was safe for now! Ch 27 Exposed After arriving at his mansion Garen do his daily routine, he focuses on condensing the lava ball! After a few days, it was a bit faster than before but it did not have much progress! So Garen is unsure whether he should invest in this.... but if he says there is no improvement, he is mistaken because he feels some improvement, albeit a little... And he doesn¡¯t have any more activity aside from condensing his lava ball¡­ What about going to school? He was wealthy, so it was not a problem for him not to go, right? Well, the main reason was no one told him to go back so he just stay at home and learn¡­. But after thinking he starts to worry about his future if he stays at home, he''ll never have a girlfriend, right? He will interact with so few people that his friends will be few as well.... this makes him don''t know what to do... he likes his current lifestyle but if he doesn''t change it... well, maybe it will be bad. And he will not consider taking over his sister''s business.... Even though fantasy-like magic exists in this world it is still a modern society, so it is unlikely that as the sole male heir all of these assets will pass to him later. Furthermore, everything will be his big sister''s! because she is the one who builds it up! One will own what they work hard for...he doesn''t want to covet other people''s things, and if he wants to make a company he can just say it maybe his sister might let him take over a branch company to experiment with or even build his own! Still, he believes that life as it is now already sufficient! he doesn''t have that much ambition, to begin with. It was soon nighttime, and today''s problem might just be that young man stopping his car while everything else went smoothly! And maybe this can be said to be a problem... While they are eating dinner, Rose asks him, "Did you want to go back to school? or did you want to keep going like this?" Of course without thinking Garen says ¡° I will prefer it like this first...." But Rose shake her head ¡°No it was fine to do this for a few more months but in the end, you need to go to school, it seems you need to continue having a general knowledge lesson with Janet.¡± This makes Garen puzzled a bit, it seems going to school was important! Garen can only nod as in truth he does not care about going to school or not, he just prefers his current lifestyle but if he needs to change it then it was fine too! Cindy, Anne, and Lila only eat and watch¡­. Soon Cindy''s voice can be heard ¡°Don¡¯t worry brother, Anne and Lila will go to school too! What''s more, Anne will be transferred to your classroom, she can be your bodyguard too.¡± Garen looks at Anne and Lila, who appear to be enjoying their food... and soon-to-be school life! Their eyes were bright and looked interested in this topic¡­. Garen can only nod it was not a problem for him at all, he can ¡®sustain¡¯ their mana cost for as much as the earth is available¡­ Well, in truth he doesn¡¯t know but maybe they will stay here forever as long as he does not summon them back. Finally, it was decided that he would attend school the following day! But he begs to be moved to the day after tomorrow... He wanted Janet to first explain more about his school.... Who knows that Janet instead of telling him about it tomorrow, she starts to explain it to him right now ! This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. ¡°Young master your Brilliant Star Academy was not a normal school! It was a prominent school that nurture experts! Even your sisters graduated from that academy before.¡± Hearing the word sisters Garen blink¡­ he look at Cindy and it seems she was so smug! ¡°that right young master Miss Cindy already graduate from that school!¡± Janet nods her head and explains this. This surprises him! And nearly burst out a few words! For example Was she much older than me? So she''s my older sibling!? Of course, Garen did not say anything but his face tells everything! this makes Cindy click her tongue ¡°No I am a genius who awaken my power from childhood!¡± This makes her smug a bit and raises her chin¡­. Garen can only nod¡­.. he doesn¡¯t even know much information about his own family¡­.. he is just too lazy to do that! Cindy stop acting smug and take over this class ¡°Alright I will tell you something, don¡¯t be discouraged about this as each people was different¡­ And it is important to attend this academy, if you have a good ranking you can attend a good university! And here you can learn more and more about this world, and its danger¡­ brother this world was not peaceful!¡± And Cindy continues to explain ¡°So develop your shop well!¡± This makes Garen blink and he doesn¡¯t know what she talk about... But she just shrugs and points at Lila and Anne ¡°You forget about them..¡± This makes Garen almost smack his head! so it was ''that shop''. Of course, they were the ones that leak this information! Lila and Anne were still oblivious about this¡­ as they thought it was a normal thing¡­ but of course, they know this situation was not normal. Cindy sigh ¡°Don¡¯t worry it was not a bad idea to develop a shop in their world, it can even help you more and more!¡± ¡°I heard you can use their world money to buy items and it seems they can bring it to this world too! Can you let them bring some? I was interested in their technology!¡± When talking about weapons and such Cindy''s eyes were glowing and she seem to emphasize bringing some items back soon¡­ Garen can only sigh and agree, but it seems Cindy is not done yet, ¡°Brother you don¡¯t need to smuggle some candy anymore¡­ well it was a good idea but you do lack in cautiousness and preparation, plus your execution was not good enough¡­ even sister Rose know about this! don''t worry she already prepare a shop for you to act as a decoy, so you don¡¯t need to visit any orphanage again and smuggle candy.¡± It seems Cindy finds it amusing to tease him about smuggling candy¡­. she can just tell him normally.... ¡°anyway brother you are lucky we were different from another family.. just think about it as a lesson in the hard way, don¡¯t worry about Janet she will never betray us, she was not human to begin with.¡± Cindy continues Hearing this Garen nodded again he knew that his family still respect and love each other, maybe it was because there are only three of them left in this family, The proof was they did not do anything to him¡­. no not the current him but the former¡­. He was a bit of a scumbag but this sisters of him only dislike him for not doing something else¡­. if they want they can just cut him off! like kicking him out of his family, and maybe this was another reason he becomes arrogant as he knows about his great talent and his powerful family wealth. But for the part that Janet was not human make him puzzled a bit¡­. and Cindy seems to understand this and does something that makes him open his eyes! Janet that eats beside him suddenly turns into another Cindy¡­.. This Cindy still wears that professional suit but different from what he saw before, this Cindy''s height was the same as the original Cindy and not as tall as Janet that he see! ¡° yes, it was my ability! I awaken clone Ability and with their help, I can learn many things at one time! And of course, it means I can learn many spells! And that illusion was one of that, hehe brother "Did you have a broken heart now? Janet was surely a beautiful girl!" Cindy can¡¯t help but tease him... Garen sighed it was not like he was interested in Janet, he was just pretty shocked as in truth he was being watched by his sister this whole time! ¡°right this sister Rose was a fake too¡­¡± With that, the Rose that he knew disappeared! And it was another Cindy¡­.. Garen sighed.. he now doesn¡¯t know if he was under a spell or not¡­ but it sure is a good ability! He wonders how many clones she can have. But Cindy now turns serious after she reveals this fake Rose¡­ ¡°In truth brother, our sister was¡­¡± This made Garen''s heart throb a bit in truth, he didn¡¯t have an older sister. or maybe it was just for a front and she had already gone long ago? Cindy slowly continues ¡°That our sister runs away with a man¡­. ¡° this makes Garen blink and soon Cindy can¡¯t hold on anymore ¡°Pft! hahaha! Brother, you are so serious!¡± Garen face darkened but he sigh¡­. but what CIndy say next was something else¡­ ¡°well it was better if it happened but in truth, she was gone long ago¡­¡± Cindy looks serious as she starts to sob¡­. Garen sighed¡­. but soon he can hear a voice ¡°Well I am just kidding, pft!¡± Cindy laugh again¡­. Garen sighed again this time he almost exploded! But soon Cindy stops teasing him ¡°Alright brother I will stop, she really went long ago, two days ago she went to her office to take care of so many things and she will not go back home for some time! This makes me sad¡­¡± And she says ¡° I am not lying right ?¡± Garen sighed again¡­.. But soon he can hear Cindy sigh¡­ ¡°Brother you¡­¡± Ch 28 School Cindy sigh¡­ ¡°Brother you really¡­ different¡­ at least you are more mature than before I am glad for you! So tomorrow you need to go to school to learn more things.¡± ¡°I am serious when I said it was important, aside from guidance and being noticed by a good university, being in school will allow you to join dungeons exploration too, you have that lava ball now so you can try to join exploration first.¡± Cindy continue ¡°Of course usually this dungeon exploration will be held on in a few months, they give their students time to digest their power after being awakened, and coincidentally yesterday was the day that your school hold an awakening ceremony!¡± Cindy shrug ¡°Of course you don¡¯t need to as you are already awakened, I will help fill your awakening form and report your power as lava ball, summoning being from another world was not rare but summoning humans were different¡­ you better keep quiet about it.. well I believe you already know about that as you try to hide that shop¡­ just learn to do that more smoothly and perfectly..¡± And from Cindy''s explanation, this awakening ceremony was only held in his school as it was the best school in this city! Of course, Students in this school who are average can be the best in another school, That is why they spend so much money preparing resources to awaken their students. What''s more, it was not like they did it for free, each student will need to return it on a settlement after they can go to explore the dungeon freely! And Cindy say another thing ¡°Oh right brother I promise this will be the last, what I said about the academy was true and most people do that because of that benefit, but you? As a son of a white corporation will not be satisfied with just that right ?¡± "uhum, what I mean is that you need to aim and look higher, dungeon exploration was easy because we have money and can pay your entrance fee whatever you want, but what we needed to do was attract and gather powerful allies! Being in the dungeon can help you see which of your classmates have good potential? and which have a positive attitude and personality. Remember that strong ability does not always imply their strength." "Some people who appear to have the weaker ability can kill someone who appears to have the more powerful ability! Just like me! Did you know that the clone ability was rare but not unique? it''s just I can develop it to this extent!" When she says this she becomes smug again¡­. ¡°even though each of my clones has 50 percent of my power but if I can create ten clones can you fight me? and in truth, I can create more than ten! what''s more each clone can help me learn one spell at the same time don¡¯t it make me have a wide range of tactics to kill a person ?¡± ¡°well sister Rose wants to let you know all of this school, friends, and so on naturally, but I think it was better for me to tell you this first.¡± Cindy shrugs her shoulder. Hearing this Garen nodded but he still can¡¯t say Cindy''s clone ability was weak¡­.. he want to say that his ability was weak! He can only regenerate mana faster! But after thinking maybe it is still a great ability even though it looks useless if he can learn just one destructive spell even the weakest one he can use it to handle his enemy! imagine being barraged by so many fireballs? even experts will think twice about this¡­ This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it of course, if he can attack first and hit his enemy... if the other party attacks him first he will die in a second, except if he can learn a shield spell and cast it on himself nonstop... well it seems to be a good idea too! After hearing all of this Garen looks at Anne and Lila that keep quiet all the time¡­. ¡°it''s fine, don¡¯t think too much, just make sure to hide your identity from another world.¡± Garen doesn¡¯t know if they feel regret or burdened but well he does not think much about this, as Cindy says his family was a rather normal loving family for a rich one¡­ Anne and Lila nod too and continue to play with Cindy¡­. he doesn¡¯t know why but it seems they do not regret anything¡­ but it seems there is nothing that needs to be regretted.. as what they said was the truth. As usual, after playing around for sometimes they come to him to send him back into their world¡­. Garen still doing his best to learn that lava ball! And after he got tired he look at his shop profit! When he looked at his shop he got a profit of 21.550 Gold coins! It seems he sold one candy this day! Well, he believes if he did not place any restrictions he can sell many candies today but he doesn¡¯t want to destroy the market just to have a short-term profit! And twenty thousand mark a day is already enough for him! At least for now, he doesn¡¯t think it was needed to do anything else as the most expensive item that he can buy in this village is still under the 5 thousand mark! And he doesn¡¯t know if he needs to change the map if he wants to have stronger and more expensive items, or craft it on his own! He has some feeling that crafting was more possible than changing maps¡­ but he doesn¡¯t know if it is true or not. Seeing that young lady with that exquisite clothing maybe there are town or city near here and this young lady just passes by and suddenly encounters his shop! But who knows right ? he never asked Anne and Lila about their world! Maybe Cindy is more knowledgeable than him if it is about that another world¡­ He needs to meet them and ask for more detail later! Still, it was already late at night so he just sleep for now! As for drawing adventurers? it was better to do that tomorrow! With 7 times to draw he hopes to have a high chance to summon a great adventurer! Soon he starts to relax and fall asleep. The next day Cindy woke him up! ¡°Brother it was time to go to school! Don¡¯t forget what I tell you about!¡± Hearing this Garen woke up and prepare himself¡­ it was his very first time going to school, in this world of course... But soon he heard Cindy''s reminder ¡° Brother summon Anne and Lila they will need to prepare to go to school too!¡± With this he remembers they need to go to school too, he sighs as it seems he needs to summon them out every day. Soon Garen and the others change their clothing and are ready to go out! Garen and Anne were in senior high school even though it was not only learning about theory in this world they must know about monsters, how to survive, how to fight, and so on. Their uniform was rather cool with white as a base and a gold line to make it more elegant and the star badge as their school logo. And Lila will attend elementary school¡­.. her uniform was bright red and white combination¡­ well Garen doesn¡¯t know why she wants to go to elementary school.. even though she looks young she can skip class like Cindy, right? But then she notices Cindy, who also wears a school uniform.... ¡° what? I said I graduated from your school, but that doesn''t mean I can''t attend another, right?" Cindy is displeased with his questioning look... This makes Garen don¡¯t know what to say, it seems Cindy really likes school¡­. now they prepare themself to go! As their destination was different Garen and Anne will use a separate car from Cindy and Lila! They soon drive toward a large school-like complex, which he can say because many students walk on the street and wear the same uniform as he and Anne, soon they park their car and go out, as he doesn¡¯t remember the way his driver was the one that guides them to the teacher''s office. Because Anne was a new transfer student, she needed teacher assistance in introducing herself to her classmates, not long after they arrive at the teacher''s office and the driver brings him to a middle-aged man who appears to be his homeroom teacher, this middle-aged man looks strict¡­. and muscular. ¡°Mr. William I will entrust our young master and miss to you!¡± Garen''s driver said to this middle age teacher, Mr William looks at Garen and Anne, he then nods at them, he looks at Garen again and says ¡°Alright it seems you have a better condition now, but don¡¯t expect me to be lenient to you!¡± Garen nods at his teacher as he doesn¡¯t know anything and it seems his family hides the fact that he loses his memory! Soon they were guided by this teacher to their class! The class was as noisy as he remembered it in the previous world... and as soon as this teacher opened the door, the class became quiet... ¡°Alright, now we have a new friend! So keep quiet! And you, you can sit anywhere!¡± the one that he pointed out was of course, Garen.... And he let Anne introduce herself! ¡°Now you can introduce yourself!¡± Mr. William said strictly¡­. Ch 29 Familiar young man As Anne was a shy girl to begin with she was a bit nervous and stuttered a bit ¡° h..hi nice to meet you! I .. am Anne, please treat me well.¡± Despite her shy greeting, Anne was a beautiful and kind-looking girl who made many male students'' eyes glow¡­.. for some maybe this shyness was a plus! And it seems the boys have a new target to pursue¡­. looking at this Garen can only sigh¡­. ¡°well kids will be kids¡­¡± he just sits where there is an empty seat.. and it was in the very back¡­ Mr. William soon allowed Anne to sit, and of course, she sit beside Garen.... it just so happened to be one that was empty over there... from the look of this It appears that students in this world enjoy their classes... In his world, the one that empties usually at the front.... whereas here was at the very back. Of course, Anne''s seating next to Garen made some students envious... but given that only the back row was empty, they assume she chose one at random and that she was the type who was uncomfortable sitting alone... it was not weird. But some students can see something else as Anne asks Garen ¡°Boss so what we do now ?¡± her voice was small but of course some hear and some can see her leaning toward Garen and saying something.... Garen let out a sigh. "Sit down and listen to what our teacher said." Garen can only explain this because he has no idea how to explain school... In this world, he never goes to school and only knows school in another world, he doesn¡¯t even know what is being taught here¡­ Soon Mr. William says "Now that all of you have awakened your abilities, we will segment you based on which abilities you awaken! First, we will divide it into two basic types, one was combat type and the other was support type, combat type was someone that awakens combat-related ability, and support for any ability that is not related to the fight, if you are confused as to what category your ability as you can ask me for guidance.¡± "After that, we will arrange for different classes to ensure that we teach the right person as they have different goals, combat type was for the front line and will go to the dungeon frequently while the support type will depend on their ability, some will focus on learning inside the class and being taught to improve their ability, while some will support fighting type in doing dungeon!" That is why it was critical to tell us the truth as this will provide us with the appropriate material to teach." Soon Mr. William divides the class into two¡­ Garen and Anne were of course in combat class, after being divided only one-fourth of his whole class has fighting-type ability! seeing this Mr. William nodded he was not disappointed at all as he believe that every ability was useful, only the people themselves were useless¡­.. They don¡¯t have a good attitude to learn and improve their ability so they reap what they sow... Soon the combat-type student was going to the training ground while the support type have class inside. Garen and Anne were combat types, so they went to the training ground, which was massive and full of training dummies. However, the instructor who taught them was unique she was a female instructor with a scar on her eye, She look strong too. This lesson was not only for his class but also for other classes. This is due to the small number of students who are awakened related to combat ability, so they will train alongside other classes. When all student arrives this female teacher looks around and suddenly say ¡°Alright now let me test your combat ability! I want to know who was the real man today!¡± A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. This makes the students nervous because they only recently awoke and have no control over their power! But, whether they are prepared or not, this test will take place right now! She appears to have a long list of student names and wishes to test their abilities! soon she says ¡°Does anyone want to be the hero of the day? come here now! If not I will randomly choose one!¡± This makes the students more nervous but suddenly a student raises his hand and walks proudly forward! Garen can hear some exclaim and whisper, and he feel that the young man was somewhat familiar but he can¡¯t remember much so he let it go and want to see how this class going on! Soon the young man walks toward the teacher and surprisingly another teacher comes inside with a monster! The monster was tied up and lifted like a bag¡­. this teacher was Garen''s homeroom teacher¡­.. Mr William, when Garen look at this monster carefully it was¡­ well of course a goblin, a small and cunning monster. The female teacher only says, "This is a goblin, you all should know that because it was one of the easiest monsters and commonly seen, however, do not underestimate it! Even if you beat it here, that doesn''t mean you can kill it in the wild! Their strength was their cunning brain and a large group of siblings, so you all have an advantage here." Soon the goblin was thrown in front of that young man! And what''s more, it is already untied! ¡°Now young man kill it! if not it will kill you!¡± as soon as this female teacher said this the goblin that was thrown fell to the ground, it start to look up and run straight toward that young man as he was the one that it saw the first time! The young man assumes a battle posture and quickly throws a punch! When the goblins see this it begins to dodge! The student''s eyes widened slightly as he did not expect a goblin to dodge! what''s more, this goblin did not just dodge! it starts to use its claws and aim at this student''s feet! The young student was not prepared and got injured! This makes his face twitch a bit¡­ soon he distances himself but the goblin does not give him any space! this goblin was already close to that student and its claw was right in front of the young man''s face! But soon a hand grabbed that goblin''s hand and throw it back! Mr. William who standby quickly ties this goblin again! It was the female teacher that stop the goblin "I will give you an extra point for being the first fighter in this lesson, but keep in mind that they are more ferocious than this in a real battle! So use your brain rather than your pride!" Garen, who was watching from a distance was taken aback... He did not expect a goblin to be so vicious! Aren''t goblins typically low-level monsters? Even here, it''s among the lowest. He then remembers his first dungeon expedition¡­. why did it feel like this goblin was much scarier than Bullman? they look like cute cow now! Garen exhaled a sigh. He didn''t like fighting, and he wasn''t very good at it... this make him think that tending his shop was a good way to live.... he could sell items from other worlds as his main product! Soon the female teacher feel that one demonstration was not enough¡­ so she call once again. ¡°Alright, next student comes up! You already see this goblin battle style so it will be much easier!¡± the female teacher said this in a relaxed tone but the student all gulped down¡­ After being called twice, no student appeared... but it appears that this teacher anticipated it and did something that perplexed the student, she grabs the goblin and throws it away! and it was where the students gathered! This almost makes them faint as this goblin had been untied! Garen who looks at this goblin''s trajectory soon sighs¡­ he visualizes a lava ball and shoots it forward! yup, it was sent straight toward him... when the lava ball struck this goblin was only one meter away from him! It can''t dodge his lava ball because it''s still in the air! This goblin was penetrated right in its stomach! It screams like crazy and falls! this makes the other students scream too! first, they were shocked second, these goblins that were struck by a lava ball started to fall! A male student below it can¡¯t react much and is almost crushed by this goblin! But Anne was fast enough that she grabbed this student''s uniform and throw him back! Of course with her power his uniform was ripped and he almost look like a beggar now¡­ Still, he safely lands after smashing a few other students on his flying trajectory¡­. well what can you expect from Anne''s power? it was good enough they just have some bruises... Seeing the goblins still screaming like crazy Anne quickly comes close and ¡­. step on it¡­¡­ Of course, there are some indescribable scenes here¡­ the blood and gore make some students puke on the spot! Anne blinks her eyes and looks at Garen¡­ Garen can only nod¡­ well it looks excessive but with Anne''s power, it was good enough that she just explode this goblin and not with the floor¡­.. Both teachers were taken aback by this scene... Many hidden teachers were stunned as well, some had already revealed themselves and run midway, only to quickly hide again..... others were nocking their bows and unsure where to shoot... they look at this young girl, she looks normal¡­ outwardly she was kind.. and currently smiling and talking with another male student.. of course with blood still splattered on her shoes. and some of her uniforms were splattered too. What''s more, that male student was fine too in this scene he only have a disgusted expression on his face¡­. and he was something else he can react quickly and throw a spell and heavily injure that goblin¡­. they look a bit more like a professional adventurer than students¡­. Ch 30 Crazy Young Man In truth, Garen was used to this rather bloody scene after witnessing Anne and Lila fighting so many times... Even though it was from the screen it was still similar, only the smell of blood make him a bit uncomfortable¡­ but he already smells it so many times in that Cowman dungeon so it was bearable. Anne was a bit slow but still, she can feel something wrong with Garen''s uncomfortable expression¡­ soon she found some blood on Garen''s uniform¡­ ¡°Ehehehe Boss I am sorry about that..¡± she says with a shy expression¡­ Garen looks at his uniform and sighs ¡°It''s fine, just be careful later¡­¡± Garen wants to point at some fainting student as they were so shocked by this scene but decided to just sigh¡­ these kids need to learn about this bloody scene sooner right? And he believe that was why this teacher just throw that goblin like that¡­. as for safety reasons? he can see many arrows being shot at some corner and some flash of light¡­.. well it seems many teachers are hiding nearby and they are supposed to kill this goblin right in front of many students'' eyes! Well, it''s mainly Garen who shoots at this goblin first, causing the trajectory to deviate and possibly so close to other students, and seeing Anne react quickly, these teachers decide to just try to stay hidden. Soon the female teacher coughed ¡°Right this was what will happen in the front line, blood, internal organs, and decapitated body parts were everywhere. and if it was not your enemy''s blood and body parts, it will be yours or your friends! This was a lesson for you too, a weak mentality was a burden on the battlefield!¡± Soon she let the student rest first, being shocked was not a good state too¡­ she let some cleaning officers come and clean that spot¡­ she even let Garen and Anne wash and change their clothes first! And of course, they make that first young student being treated for his wound, they let him not be treated for this long on purpose to see his mentality.. in a war wound was common and if you can¡¯t even bear a small wound, it will be a disaster! Soon the class continue as usual¡­ with this world''s magical product a small wound from that young man already disappeared and he can move normally! with that, the class continues and today''s lesson is mainly for students to be familiar with their abilities! Some student were still so shocked that their face was pale but this was for their future, and they need to know this soon, the teacher only show them what a real battlefield look like¡­ thought accidentally¡­ Of course, Anne and Garen were called out as their performance stood out! ¡°you kids really something huh! So how many times do you go to the dungeon ?¡± the female teacher talks with them casually as if that bloody scene was nothing. Anne when being asked honestly said ¡°Um more than thousands ?¡± she can¡¯t help but blink when the teacher look at her¡­. Well she can¡¯t say anything more, she was not lying! In her world, it was a daily routine¡­ Garen himself was rather speechless¡­ she is too honest¡­ in the end, he sigh ¡°Teacher, she is an advanced adventurer!¡± Hearing Gorden words Anne seems to remember something and shows a badge it has a sword and shield as a base and some information engraved on it, even Garen did not know about this, he just wants to use it as an excuse¡­ Seeing the badge this female teacher was shocked! As it was a silver badge! And from the serial code and craftsmanship, it was real! This make the teachers don¡¯t know what to do¡­ this young girl was on par with most of them¡­ some of them even still only official adventurers! You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. Garen sighed again ¡°She was my secret bodyguard so please keep it a secret for me.¡± in this world, Garen''s status as a rich man''s son was useful he can use this as an excuse, but if he compare his status with this school he was not that powerful as the principal was an expert adventurer! So with this headmaster''s strength, he himself was on par with the whole corporation, what more each teacher was a powerful individual so Garen was nothing here. But still, it does not mean this academy will make enemies everywhere and only do their best to teach students, the teacher can only nod as it was not a big deal, many rich people do that, and it seems that the female teacher was interested in Anne! ¡° alright but girl, did you want to learn some simple technique from me?¡± Anne looks at her teacher and looks at Garen, this makes Garen remember she does not even know how to use a shield to defend herself! She have strength and experience but it was rough.. she only use brute force as almost all her enemy gone after one hit! If he look at his game world dungeon it was only the cave and forest, he don¡¯t know if Anne can only explore those two, if so then she was lucky! as she don''t need any technique to crush her enemy! Or rather proper training, still she needs some training if she wants to help Garen more in real world. This female teacher look at this small gesture and was interested in this young man, did his family raise this girl to be a bodyguard? In truth, it is not rare¡­ as the rich still want to live in this world right? But she feel a bit pity that this genius girl was raised like that¡­ Garen sighed and nodded ¡°You can do what you want to do, if you don¡¯t want then fine too! It was better to try first, if you are not satisfied I will look for a professional coach for you!¡± Now it all depends on Anne¡­ it seems she is a bit struggling with this¡­ and in the end, looks at Garen again. But Garen doesn''t know that it seems his words provoke this female teacher! ¡°hum! Kid, did you think I do not qualify enough to teach her? I will show you how strong I am !¡± With that with his own eyes, he sees this teacher walk to a row of training dummies and blow them with her bare hand! and yes it is not just one but a few! Her punch creates some wind and it still manages to shatter many more dummies! This causes Garen to blink and wonder why he thinks this female teacher was similar to Anne.... "Uh alright." He wants to say something like, "Being strong and clever does not mean being a great teacher," but he decided to shut up as to why he needs to provoke this teacher more, It seems he needs to learn to control his mouth more¡­.. Soon after he can see Anne look at this teacher with a different gaze¡­. maybe it was the first time she see someone that similar, So the teacher ask "What about now ?" this makes Anne readily agrees! ¡°thank you for your guidance teacher! I will try my best!¡± Anne quickly thank her new teacher! ¡°Good now let¡¯s go!¡± with that Anne was kidnapped by that female teacher.. she does not even introduce herself until now. Garen can only look at this, while Mr. William manages the class, they still need to continue the lesson right? And so they learn to familiarize themselves with their power! And even Garen tries to learn to condense his lava ball faster! He was lucky that he realized the monster''s trajectory was toward him and prepared himself to condense a lava ball, however when he threw it, the goblins were already so close to him, and he needs to note that that goblin is being thrown from a long distance! If the enemy was close from the start he will die already! Maybe the teachers already trained for so many times and measure the distance they need to throw as it was not so close and more like flying far away toward the back of the crowd¡­. it can make some calmer students ready themselves! That is why Garen can still condense his lava ball and injure it, while he was rather safe, in gaming terms, his casting time was so slow but it was destructive! Well, at least he can see that lava ball stuck in the goblin''s body and make a gaping hole! Although his lava ball was not as powerful as Lila''s, it was already good for a novice like him! he need to learn more about this. Not long later Garen can see a young man walk toward him, it was the one that got injured by a goblin! When they meet face to face the young man says ¡°Don¡¯t be so proud of that! I just do not expect that goblin to be so cunning, if given another chance I will surely kill it! different from me you can just shoot at it mid-air, it does not even fight back! we are not in the same situation!¡± the young man continues. This makes Garen nod ¡°Yes yes.¡± But his word makes the young man angry! ¡°I will show you later! Just wait!¡± Many people can be heard whispering as the young man walks out... This makes Garen shake his head, well it was good for kids to be rather competitive this day, but that angry face looks familiar again¡­. well maybe he starts to remember something from his memory? He quickly shrugs his shoulder and focuses on condensing the lava ball, as it was more important than this kid''s play! still, that young man''s word was true, so he need to have an additional backup, in the dungeon they did not know where the enemy will come from right? So he needs to learn more skills! It was impossible with just his lava ball to fight in any situation right? maybe he needs to learn some more magic like a mana shield or something similar with that, a magic spell that protects its caster! He doesn¡¯t know if there is one in this world as mana shield was from games and fantasy stories from his previous world, but he surely believes there will be a similar thing as people or maybe spell caster still needs to defend themselves right? So surely this kind of spell must be created too, he just needs to look for it. Ch 31 Learning Spell from what he know to learn a shield spell he either needs to make a contract with stronger spirits than Lila that know about shield spells like earth spirits but with his money, it was almost impossible¡­ The other choice was to learn it manually from a teacher in this world, he needs to ask Cindy about that later maybe she learns some, as for this academy? Perhaps some defensive spells will be taught later, he needs to look at their library or maybe the magic teacher. With that Garen try the most reliable one, a magic teacher! Even if they don''t want to teach him, they can at least point him in the right direction, right? But as he doesn¡¯t know who that teacher will be he goes straight to Mr. William! He look around and found out he was on the corner seeing their progress, These students already familiarize themself with their own power for a few hours, and now it was already afternoon! Garen walks toward Mr. William and asks him "Sir, can I ask you about magic studies ?¡± he went straight to the point as he asks Mr. William. Hearing this Mr William just say ¡°What type did you want to learn ?¡± he was straight to the point too. ¡°it was something that can be used to protect myself, is there any spell like that ?¡± Garen say what was in his mind. Mr. William nodded and say ¡°Of course there are, it was the basics for a mage, you can learn it yourself in the library and I only recommend you to read and understand the content, when practicing you need professional guidance as it was rather dangerous for students like you, or you can simply wait for the day when there will be a magic class for a mage, as tomorrow we will divide it into a much more detailed segmentation of each potential profession." Mr. William said that patiently. Garen nodded and said, "Thank you Sir." He then walked out of the training grounds! In reality, the student was not limited to only staying here, as some people can learn many things on their own or in secret with their personal teacher and so on. But instead of going to the library or looking for a teacher, he went to the toilet... and then he opened his phone! To tell you the truth, he felt like this was the longest day of his life... Everything has been hectic since the morning... He then checks his shop for now, he looks at his gems and found out it was already 8.100 Gems! With that adventurer slot already unlocked, he just needs to draw cards now! He wait for so long just to make sure he can draw many times¡­ but soon he feel that drawing ten times in a row was better! Usually when playing games like there is that hidden system¡­ when drawing for a certain time the chance was increased! Of course, it was just a rumor among the players... perhaps it was related to luck... and nothing about game mechanics. still it is worth to try! He didn''t have to do it right away as tomorrow was fine too! So he decided to wait another day... And what he did was go to a magic tower himself! There was a grand master mage there so maybe if his character that walks there he can trigger some conversation like with the innkeeper, and he hopes there is the same mechanism as drawing cards... maybe learning a spell? If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. So soon after, he clicks on that tall and circular structure, and his game character walks directly there! after that, his character entered and saw a bright room, as one would expect from a mage''s home, it was full of bookshelves and a strange cauldron filled with a strange liquid that kept bubbling.... He can see a wise old man stirring the liquid while reading a book... of course, the book was floating! When this old man hears Garen enter, he looks at him and asks, "What do you want to learn, young man?" This surprises him a little... how can a game character know he wants to learn magic from him? After some silence, the old man can only say, "If you need items, your manager will be the one who comes to me, but now that you''ve come here yourself, it appears there must be something you want to consult!" The old man looks at him and says ¡° I can feel that mana fluctuation and even without it I heard you recruit a spirit. Of course, you will make a contract with her! But I can feel you have a unique talent... So you must be interested in learning something from me!" Soon Garen can see the old man swiping his hand through the air, and a few books fly Infront of Garen! ¡°I will let you choose one of these, of course, you need to pay for that!¡± soon a panel appeared and he can choose one of four books! One was a book with a red cover it have a fire as a symbol and from the description it was a fireball skill. Next, it was a blue cover with a drop of water icon, and it was for creating a water ball. The third was a brown cover with a rock as an icon, it was a spell that throw sharp rocks! The last was the green cover which was wind and create a wind blade! But all of this was not what he wanted! At least he doesn¡¯t see any shield skill¡­ Seeing Garen not choose for a long time the old man says ¡°It seems you are not interested in this so tell me what you want to learn ?¡± Soon a panel appeared and he can write what he wanted! So Garen thinks for a moment and then writes ¡°how to condense skill faster and something to protect oneself¡± Seeing this the old mage nod ¡° I can give you some spells on this one but it will certainly be expensive.. ¡° Soon two books appeared, one was a white cover book and the icon was only a blue ball, the other was a white cover too but with a transparent shield icon! The one with a blue ball icon is the mana circulation skill, which helps one to circulate mana more smoothly and thus slightly increase spell casting! The one with a transparent shield cover was, of course, to make a shield out of mana! It is not omnipotent because it only creates a shield in the direction he wants. Garen can hear the old man''s voice again ¡°Don¡¯t be too impatient if you don¡¯t know the basics it will be hard to learn the more advanced ones! And all of this was a basic one.¡± With that Garen nodded in real life, but he was curious about the price of these books! Without having to wait, he can hear the old man say, "Mana circulation can be purchased for 5.000 Gems, as can the shield spell!" Hearing this Garen sighed¡­ well it seems he needs to choose between drawing a recruit or buying a spell to learn! This makes him hesitate¡­ if he wants to learn to spell he can just look at the one in the school library right? it was free! And who knows if there is any skill that is much more powerful than this and easy to learn.... but soon he thinks about other possibilities! As it was a game will he need to learn it one by one or maybe he can learn this spell instantly? did it only affect his character here in the game world or his real life too? This makes him think about these possibilities! If by any chance it can be brought back into the real world then doesn¡¯t he become a genius? he can learn to spell instantly! Of course, he needs money for that¡­. In the end, he can only try it himself, if he needs time to learn then it was fine he just wastes some time to gather more gems right? if he can learn instantly it was great! if this spell can be brought back into real life then it was the best! With that, he chooses to learn one first! Of course, his gems were not enough to buy two at once¡­ Now he can''t decide between a much faster channeling or a shield spell... in the end, he decided to try the mana circulation first after some thought! He can kill his opponent first if he can throw a lava ball much faster! But, a shield spell was important too, still he''ll just have to wait until tomorrow to learn a shield spell from the mage teacher! Or wait for his gems to be more than 5.000 gems and buy it from this grand master! With that, he clicks on mana circulation first! Soon his gems were decreased by 5.000 gems and become 3.100 gems, after a moment he can feel something different! first the skill book suddenly turns bright and was absorbed by his character! And soon after he can feel something surging from his phone and his arms it move directly toward his brain! After that, he suddenly knows much more knowledge! and more than that he understands this game world writing too! Like before he can understand them when they speak as it was the same as his language, so he can understand Anne and Lila''s language as they speak to him normally, with this there was no language barrier. But for writing, he can¡¯t understand their words! Like the sign on his shop, he know that it mean Myriad World shop but it was written in an unknown language! Now he suddenly understands it! And what''s more, he understands why he was slow to condense his lava ball! Ch 32 Instant Learning What Garen lacked was a suitable technique to teach him how to let his mana flow within his body rather than his usual style of blindly flowing and transforming his mana into a lava ball. with this new information, Garen starts to close his eyes and soon condenses his lava ball within three seconds! But it is still not good enough, he needs to train more and more! as he is a human different from spirits that can condense it naturally, spirits was a creature of wonders and their body constitution already design to circulate mana smoothly. While humans are creatures that have infinite possibilities and talent! But they need to work hard to comprehend it and their bodies were designed to adapt in their way of choice. Similar to a swordsman who develops physical prowess, their body will change and adapt to become a body that can sustain that rigorous training! And as a mage, he needed to adapt in a new way. He needed to make mana flow easily and concentrate it into a skill. Now what he need to do was to make a path for his mana so they can smoothly flow and not be hindered or delayed! with that supposedly harsh and time-consuming training, he can be said to achieve great success in condensing a lava ball only in three seconds! and he did all of this without doing all that vigorous training! Alright, in a battle it was considered slow as just a second decided the whole fight! But for current him it is still good progress and he can at least fight back! As long as he is not ambushed or his enemy can come close, he can even play a role of a shooter that shoots every two seconds! If his accuracy was good he can kill or injure one enemy every two seconds! This was certainly not bad... Of course, he won''t go exploring alone right? He''s not that insane... With a full-function party, he can achieve a long-range attacker role with just this much ability! This makes him glad! But still, it needs many gems if he wants to learn more and more skills¡­ Now it was his choice the first one was to lean more toward himself so he focuses on learning and upgrading more and more skills or expanding his party or even army if he can! If he use that gems to recruit more adventurers then it was much safer for him too right? And here is another method, currently it was an untested idea but he can try it, and it is to buy slaves! they use gold coins so it was manageable and he believe it was not just gold coins, there must be some that used gems too like the innkeeper and grand mage!. Just one that use gold coins was good enough for him as he can even buy a spirit! Of course, it was expensive to use tens of millions to buy one¡­ He needs to test it first, will his slaves occupy the adventurer slot or not? if not he can buy more and more slaves while upgrading himself with these skills books! And what''s more, it seems he just remember he can recruit adventurers in a normal way¡­ that was using gold coins¡­.. He sighs¡­ it seems there are too many things that he needs to do so he must decide to choose one method first¡­ This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. After thinking it was better to just raise his income! As long as he has money he can do everything, right? Even gold coins seem valuable to him now! He will think of a way to increase his income as much as possible! So he sighs it seems he needs to use this real-life world resource to be a whale in the game world¡­. Soon keep his phone and goes out of the toilet what he do now was go back to the training ground, he needs time to think about how to increase his income.. and it is not good to be on the toilet for too long right? So he comes back and acts like other kids, learning to adapt his ability¡­ in truth, he doesn¡¯t know about his ability much. He only knows that he can continuously transfer his mana into his phone and make it turn on and even top up gems for him¡­ But he don¡¯t know if the consumption was big or not! What if it was mana-consuming and he don''t know about that, then in a real fight he just unlash two lava balls then like a soldier with empty ammo... that can only hide behind a cover! He never throws this lava ball twice! Well, maybe not that few at least five balls? who knows? This is what he wanted to test¡­ but not now he will do that at home later, he just takes a deep breath and try to circulate his mana! Mana''s circulation skill did not only help to increase spell channeling time, well in truth he was slow because he use a hard way to condense his skill¡­. but now as he uses a rather systematic way he can be considered to use it excellently. And this mana circulation can help to improve that normal way of channeling into a much faster way! But this needs time as even in the description it can only help to slightly increase channeling time not make him cast skill instantly! what he indeed was that information but to maximize this skill he must explore his own body as each people was unique! so there are no systematic examples of this mana circulation technique. The one that was being taught was a general way and in order for it to have the effect of slightly faster channeling time, they must explore their own body and ensure that they choose the best way possible! This is what he needs to do.. to explore his own body with mana! It was like viewing his body part with feeling¡­. it was hard to describe but he can feel many things on his own body now! like blood veins, internal organs, and such¡­. It was really hard to describe and more like imaginary¡­ he need to explore this on his own and he knew that it need time. That is why he takes this time to calm himself and try to explore himself more! But of course, it was rather hard and he does not succeed after these few hours¡­ what''s more, it was already five in the afternoon¡­ this was time to officially finished the lesson but of course it did not mean they couldn¡¯t continue. As long as the student wants to they can even sleep at school! But if one learns from a teacher, they need to match the teacher''s time so usually only people that learn on their own continue learning until night time. A few teachers were still available until night time but it was more like they don¡¯t have anything to do so they just standby here¡­ And it seems Anne will not look for him until the school bell rang already, he already waits for a while and still does not see Anne at all. When he decided to just go home and left her alone, Garen can see Anne walk toward him while trembling¡­.. Her face was tired and she can¡¯t even walk straight¡­.. this make him blink and think ¡°What kind of crazy training did that teacher do to her ?¡± He knows that Anne has strong firepower but weak stamina and defense¡­ but seeing her like this was different¡­ It''s more like she ran the whole time until a few minutes ago¡­ ¡°Boss¡­. I ¡­¡± Anne look so tired and panting nonstop¡­ Garen doesn¡¯t know what to do now¡­. He can only help her stand up and bring her with him¡­ to his car of course as his driver was waiting. Just it seems some students can¡¯t help but have a bulking eyes when they see this scene¡­¡­ Garen sighed¡­ it was hard to explain this right? but still, it''s not like he cares about rumors¡­. So soon they arrive at his car and go back! And in the conclusion of today''s experiences, he found out that school was a good thing for now.. at least he can understand more about this world, even though he does not even know this City''s name at all¡­ Still, it''s not that important right? what was important was having strong power and being able to defend himself in any situation! Soon they arrive and receive a weird gaze from Cindy and Lila ¡­ ¡°Dad what did you do to sister Anne ?¡± Lila can¡¯t help but speak¡­. Of course, Anne can¡¯t say anything she almost fainted! Garen sighed and only say ¡°Don¡¯t worry she just needs rest.. she is being accepted by a teacher and it seems she receives harsh training ¡­¡± Cindy nodded and with Lila''s help these girls brought Anne back into her room¡­ yes, now even Anne and Lila have their room! Garen then walked toward his room to take a bath and relax a bit¡­ and today he does not stock some candy¡­ now that he thinks about it, he does not see how the shop progresses much and directly goes toward that grand master mage tower to learn skills, still it was already night. After eating dinner with his family, he go back into his room to rest, today Garen did not see Rose again, he remember Cindy saying that Rose was in her office and can¡¯t go back home for a while. He thinks that maybe there are problems at her corporation but even if there are it is not like he can solve it as he is not clever at managing a business¡­ Now what he need to focus on was himself and so he open his phone again and see that today the profit was more than before! At least it seems his manager sold two candy packs today. What he received were 27.550 Gold coins! It was many more than before¡­ well a few thousand was way more than before right? Ch 33 Gold Coins Garen total money including his item stock was 107,322 Gold coins! and he didn''t include candy in his calculation because one pack of candy was so expensive in a game world, and what''s more he doesn''t want that candy pack price to drop because of his reckless behavior of wanting short-term money! Even though he doesn¡¯t know why there are always people who keep buying weapons such as swords and such¡­. well it was a game what he can do about that? maybe it is true that market theory was not useful here but there is still a risk that his behavior can affect the market right? If there is no supply and demand theory here it was good but if by any chance the price drops, he will be the one that suffers..... As he clearly remembers that the clothing set he previously sold was being worn by his customer! Particularly the young man... He''s already been to his shop wearing that a few times... So Garen assumes if he sells something like clothing and floods the market with it soon all these medieval-looking people will look like any normal modern people here in real life¡­ Except for their way of doing things will still in that era, fighting, going to the dungeon, and more... Well, it seems alright to add it as additional income, if there are no innovative competitors he will be the only one that sells that type of clothes! For the price¡­. it is supposedly much more expensive than candy in the real world but in the game world¡­ maybe clothing was not that important there. just take the example of Anne more than 1.000 times exploring the dungeon, it seems it was a common thing in the game world, if he thinks realistically that clothes will become a rag in a few battles¡­. If they treasure it and only use it at home then it can be used for a long time so clothing can be sold a bit more in large quantity for now, but if he floods it he can expect the price to drop a bit, still if they use it on a battle, he can expect returning customers soon. Anyway, if the price will drop so much¡­.. well he doesn¡¯t know yet so he let it be for now, he can know after trying it out and selling clothing many times, too much thinking and assumption..... still it seems going with a limited sale was a good idea! He can just change the model after some time¡­ Now come back to reality... Garen thought so much and it was all just theory¡­ he still needs to do it step by step and now he can try to look for something else first, or rather how to make money in this real life and a the same time make money in the game world! He is a bit embarrassed to just take money from his family¡­. at least he can offer something else in return and help his family grow. The dungeon was hard for now¡­ and there is even no new dungeon, selling items from games? it can be done, he will let Cindy look some first as it was his promise with her anyway. If the item was not good enough¡­. well anyway there are the scrolls, he doesn¡¯t know if there is any scroll in real life yet this magic scroll can be used by ordinary people too so he thinks it was useful in every situation! With that he now goes to sleep¡­. tomorrow all this thinking can be realized so it was a waste to mull over it now, after some time he starts to fall asleep and wakes up the next day.. of course, he needs to go to school! Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Anne still looks sluggish¡­ but in the end, they go to school together! Soon they come to class and sit down on their chair from before, the other combat class student looks a bit shocked by yesterday''s incident, they still go to school like usual but it seems they are not as energetic as before¡­ Soon Mr. William come and explain today''s lesson! ¡°today you all will be divided into more classified classes, yesterday you only divided into fighting and support classes, now each one of you will be divided into more specific ways!¡± ¡°First the combat type will be divided into several classes, physically related, Magic related, and Ability related, you can choose this class based on your ability.¡± ¡°for support type, one related to production, while the other will be a support for the fighting teams, like healer and someone that can buff their teammates!¡± ¡°as for specific you can think what the most ideal role for you, if you want to ask something then just come to me!¡± Soon Mr. William divide the class, even the combat type will be divided into a small group. Garen who verses on mana regeneration and from outside has an ability related to fire was of course going to the mage class, Anne as someone that can crush a goblin will surely go to another class, with that they got separated and Garen walked toward a class that pointed at to be his class from now on! While he looks for a seat he can feel that the student here seems not to care about his status at all¡­ the son of a rich man, even from the ¡®first¡¯ time he comes into this school, they act normally and only focus on their path. Of course, as a kid they still make groups, do silly things and such¡­. but weirdly until now no one come to them and claimed them as his friends¡­ Garen sighed maybe he doesn¡¯t have any for now, soon the magic class teacher come in he was an old man, and he does not use any wizard-like attributes, he just look like an old professor! he starts to introduce himself, and the student listens and respects him. ¡°students just call me professor from now on, let''s start! magic was a long study, you will think that you master one spell but soon found out that there are similar spells or even stronger spells! but it was all interconnected, what you need to do was perseverance, diligence, and study hard! With that, you will be rewarded!¡± And so it was like any other senior teacher, this professor was talking nonstop about philosophy! After half an hour he stop and start to touch on the real topic, ¡°first of all you all need to know that the human body was adaptable, it can be carved into anything the way you want but as soon as you stop it will slowly deteriorate!¡± ¡°or rather it will always be like that either physically or something that needs your brain as long as you did not take it you will find that your ability will be not as great as before! so your perseverance was the one that stabilize that, it was the same way with magic, first of all, you need to learn how to mold your body! And now I will tell you about mana manipulation! So hear me out!.¡± Soon the teacher explain it and Garen can feel it was similar to what he learn from the game world before! Just this teacher never mention that it was can slightly help them to channel faster, he explain that It was to make their body adaptable to mana and make it smoother to cast any spell! Soon it was time to practice and this teacher will answer every student''s doubts and questions, as Garen already know about this he just focus his mind and circulate his mana, he want to gain that ability to help him channel mana faster! As a boring practice, it was really hard for kids to keep quiet and only focus on this thing, in only one hour some people already rest for a moment and talk with their friends, this teacher does not reprimand them at all and only reminds them to continue if they slack off for a long time. Garen himself sighs.. it is not easy to just focus on one thing for such a long time, he goes out to drink some coffee¡­. as he himself lose focus so much, and yes his teacher does not do anything to him as long as he says what he wants to do¡­. of course, he needs his teacher''s permission to go buy a coffee right? But when he comes back he does not start to continue mana circulation, he walks to his teacher and gives him a cup of coffee¡­. This makes another student look at him curiously! It was needed to note that the teacher here was super strict and will not accept any bribe! Well, some of these teachers were much more richer than the student''s parents¡­. But Garen still does that and before he gives his teacher a coffee he says ¡° Teacher this was not what you thought¡­ there is a one-by-one ticket and I don¡¯t have a friend so what can I do? it not a good thing to just throw it away.¡± ¡°uhum well I just want to ask some recommendations.. did you know any spell that has the effect to protect oneself?¡± Garen was not good at socializing so he just makes random excuses and well it was true he buy a one-get-one coffee¡­. The teacher only nod ¡°You can give it to that boy, he needs it more than me, and for your question it was easy you can learn it in the library and search for ¡®Mana barrier¡¯ for a beginner like you it was the most suitable.¡± But soon this teacher go into lecturer mode and say ¡°I recommend you to focus on mana circulation first, it is only a few months until you really fight so solidifying your foundation was the best for now and not waste it on another thing!¡± And so this teacher continue to spread a philosophy¡­ well what he said was true but Garen already learn about mana circulation¡­ and what he needed now was a way to protect himself! Ch 34 Company Soon Garen''s class was over, he promise Anne to see her on the training ground so he go there and see her and the other students still running¡­.. Their face already turns purple and pale.. but their body still running! He even notice who their teacher was¡­ it was that female teacher! ¡°kids do one more lap! How come all of you have this weak stamina ? in the battlefield you will die in five minutes! Run! Run!¡± the female teacher shout loudly.... Garen let out a sigh... This was a barbaric method of training that was still required from ancient to modern to this advanced civilization... soon after that one lap was done with tears of joy! ¡° Alright kids you can go home now! Make sure to get back safely!¡± She said that but the student still trembling on the ground with a bit of tears on their face¡­. After a few minutes of rest, some students begin to stand up, still trembling but force themself to walk home.... Garen soon spots Anne and picks her up and drags her... She''s already so weak that she can''t stand up straight! after a few steps, Garen doesn¡¯t have a choice and lets her rest for now, he even goes out and buys mineral water for her to drink. And he doesn¡¯t know when but all students look at him with some resentment.. and hope¡­ seeing this Garen sighed he got out and bring back a whole box of mineral water! He is rich so it is not a problem to buy something like this right? Some students have some expectations but still do not go to him¡­ maybe they are too shy or can''t move.... Garen can only shout ¡°Come! Free water! Free water!¡± With this, they begin to slowly approach him sluggishly! ¡°here! Take this.¡± Garen gives water toward them one by one, but soon he sees a familiar young man staring at him while laying on the ground not moving at all, It was either he don¡¯t want to or can¡¯t¡­. after the remaining student got their water, he came toward that young man and placed two bottles beside him! Well, he just left after that while dragging Anne¡­ she can walk now but need his help¡­.. it seems she was forced too much by her teacher! After bringing Anne to their car, the driver starts to bring them home, as usual with the help of two little girls Anne was successfully lying inside her room, Garen look at this and nodded, so he starts to take a bath and relax! after that Garen starts to circulate his mana for a while but a knock can be heard. ¡°Brother I need to talk to you.¡± it was Cindy''s voice, and with that Garen go out and meet her, what she talk to him about was his own company! ¡°Brother here is your company deed, you can name it whatever you like, and for money, we will allocate some funds every month!¡± Cindy said. Garen nodded but soon he remember what he wanted to do when he is inside the toilet¡­ "wait a moment I want to show you something, let¡¯s get Lila here.¡± Garen then meets Lila and unsummon her! Next, he let her equip a necklace of mana which can slightly help regenerate mana, bring one scroll of fire and the health potion, and mana potion! Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. She was soon summoned again, and she clearly looked rather burdened... She was small, but she wore a necklace and hug a scroll and two bottles of liquid. but then when Lila got summoned Cindy''s eyes were fixed on the necklace! ¡°Wow! What was that? I can feel some mana flow from it!¡± soon Lila placed the scroll and bottle on the table and let Cindy have that necklace! Cindy look at it seriously and mutter something and soon nod ¡°This was a great quality item! It was the first time I see an item that can help mana regeneration!¡± Hearing this Garen blink¡­ Cindy seems to remember something and say ¡°Item that has a special attribute like this was rare, they are usually found in the dungeon and can¡¯t be crafted! Until now no people can craft attributed items!¡± Garen nodded as he just know this, soon Cindy asked him a few questions ¡°Brother did this crafted by humans? or maybe spirits? can you buy their formula and technology?¡± Garen blinks but shakes his head, "I''m not sure if they''ll let me buy that... It will be difficult I believe, as for the crafter... I recall she was a human." What in Garen''s mind was that blueprint was the main point of this game right? how come they sell blueprints easily? Until now he has not even found another one¡­ well he never explore again so it was his fault. But Garen says ¡°Even though it was hard to get the blueprint they sell the finished item and it was rather common there, I can buy a few if you want!¡± Hearing this Cindy nodded, it was as she expected who want to sell their livelihood? but it was good enough if they can buy some, ¡°Alright, I want to have one and let big sister have another one!¡± Cindy tells him what she wants. Garen nod and think, maybe he can bring one for himself too... he is a mage after all! With that, he buy four necklaces¡­ one for him, the other for Cindy, Lila, and Rose! He doesn¡¯t know if Lila needs it but just maybe it was useful somehow, and soon they all wear one and Cindy will be the one that keeps Rose''s Necklace. Before parting Cindy suddenly says. ¡°oh right brother¡± Cindy looks at him seriously ¡°Now it seems you need to decide what you want to do in the future, what do you really want? I know you still do not know many things and this can be done slowly but I want you to think about that from now, and just a little tip that school doesn¡¯t have harsh requirements for you to attend every class!¡± Cindy blinks at him. This makes Garen remember that his teacher was too relaxed¡­ he can even buy a coffee, well he doesn¡¯t know about that female teacher tho¡­. Cindy continues ¡°Of course, you need to have a good score when there are tests later! And you know we have a bit special circumstance¡­¡± Hearing this Garen nodded and understand¡­ it was different from his old world, here what was important was strength, and going to school was not only the way.. of course, with the help of professional teachers at school and possible future connection they can be strong too! But if they have a better choice such as a more experienced private teacher or well know a teacher from somewhere they can just sign up for a school and as long as their score is good enough they will graduate anyway.. and maybe make a few good friends and connections midway! Cindy give him another tip ¡°You can consult with your teacher first, I do that so much before and most of the time I was in the library or at home! just don''t belittle this school too much, they are the best in this city after all!¡± Hearing this Garen nodded again but he was different from Cindy¡­ he is not a genius and in truth mediocre, so he can''t just do what she did and learn on his own! If not because of his phone he will not even summon Anne and Cindy! ... after thinking, it seems his game was more important than this school as it can give him strength for himself and his subordinates or friends! But it can be done while he goes to school too¡­ well maybe he needs to focus on his company in real live first.. if he can make so many gold coins with that company''s help it will be easier to catch up with other students. He does not even need to depend on school or other people at all! He can just bring his employee into this world and conquer it! This makes him a bit fired up thinking about his future! So now what he need to do was to have his bodyguards¡­.. if he make a company that stood out in this kind of world, doesn¡¯t he need trustworthy bodyguards? even his family has that and so many¡­ Garen looks outside his window and can see some people doing patrol¡­ he doesn¡¯t know why they need to pay for this many bodyguards¡­. But it is not wrong to prepare¡­. even in stories the one that stood out will be crushed! He just buying some items and doing small-scale business, but it will not wrong to start gathering his force as earlier as possible! It was nighttime now¡­ he look at his phone and see his manager''s report, today he only sell one candy and make it to 22.300 Gold coins. He has so much money now and he can spare some to buy a few slaves¡­.. well he knows it sounds cruel but it''s not like he will mistreat his slaves right? So he starts to click on the black market! He soon was greeted by the owner that elegant-looking old man ¡°Welcome welcome, what did you want to look for ?¡± This time a panel appeared and he can write what he want, just like the time he had come here before. Soon he writes something and clicks accept the old man nodded and say ¡°Oh it was rare, if you want a bodyguard you will pay that adventurer outside, it seems you want to have a secret bodyguard!¡± the old man then bring him somewhere. Of course, this time it was not the slave''s area¡­. this made Garen a bit puzzled¡­ did the old man have misinterpreted his words? Soon they walk down toward a basement, where he can see many people fighting! and they are brutal¡­ Not only men there are women and children! What''s more all of them have blood on their body¡­ The old man proudly says ¡°Welcome!¡­.. Ch 35 Blood Guard ¡°Welcome to our secret breeding ground! Yes yes I know it was your first time but it was true! this was a place to breed the most loyal and trustworthy dogs!¡± the old man said proudly. Garen blink what dogs¡­. ¡°look if there anyone that interests you! I will tell you their price later!¡± the old man places his hand on his back and calmly look at this bloody scene¡­ These people that feel being watched by someone start to even show more of their bloodthirsty way! This makes Garen don¡¯t know what to say.. he just wants to buy slaves as bodyguards¡­. well he was already here anyway so he just looks around and maybe someone will make him interested enough¡­. The fight was brutal and not systematic at all¡­ Men can fight women and some children even beat up adults¡­.. This almost makes his eyes pop out¡­ he can see a young boy swiftly climb into an adult and stab his eyes¡­. It is brutal¡­. Then he look around but soon a panel appeared and he can say something¡­. as he don¡¯t know what to do he just wrote ¡°give me a suggestion according to price.¡± Soon the old man looks at him with a smile ¡°Alright don¡¯t worry I will not cheat you! For us reputation was everything¡­¡± Soon he let him go up again and wait in a rather luxurious room. And then the old man asked ¡°What was your budget? is it with gold or gems ?¡± This makes Garen think for a while and he just writes his budget on gold coins and gems ¡° 50.000 gold coins and 5.000 gems!¡± Soon the old man nodded ¡°Alright did you want that price for one person or a group ?¡± this made Garen think and choose just one, if it was a group maybe they are not so strong right? The old man nod and say ¡°Wait a minute, I will prepare the best items on that range.¡± Garen waits for a moment as the old man goes out and prepares the ¡®goods¡¯ Soon he comes in with a few people, their gender and age ranges were diverse, but he only brought three people. One was an adult male, he look strong and had scars everywhere¡­ the other was a young girl around Rose''s age, the same as that man she have a few scars on her body. The last one was the boy that he see before¡­ The old man soon explain something and a panel about their information showed on his phone screen. [Name: Blood guard 1] [gender: Male] [job: Warrior] [Description: Strong body can fight against five armed adventurers on his own while unarmed] [Price: 50.000 Gold coins] The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. [Name: Blood guard 2] [gender: Female] [Job: Assassin] [Description: Agile and cunning, can kill people without a sound] [Price: 50.000 Gold coins] [Name: Blood guard 3] [gender: male] [Job: Assassin] [Description: Agile and deadly considering his age he is a real talent for killing!] [Price: 10.000 Gems] Garen look at the price of the last one that little boy and it was over his budget¡­ The old man knows about this and says ¡° I know this boy was over the budget but I recommend you to think about it, he is cheap now because he is still young, and given enough time it will not only be merely 10.000 gems!¡± The old man try to explain this as this boy was profitable to buy! Garen himself already sees this boy''s brutality¡­and agrees with this...He sighs in real life, even if he wanted to he doesn¡¯t have the money¡­. and in truth, if he has money he will just buy all of them¡­. as all of them look useful! Now he doesn¡¯t know which one he chooses¡­ of course aside from the kid¡­ seeing his circumstance he thinks the warrior was good! As he can be used as deterrence to anybody that wants to make trouble in his shop¡­ so he decides to pay for this man! "Wonderful decision! He will always be loyal to you and protect you or those you choose! And he''ll look out for your best interests!" the old man praised Garen''s choice so much, soon his gold coins were reduced by fifty thousand but he believe he can cover it soon enough! With that, his character walks out of the black market and goes back into his shop, and surprisingly he can see a man standing guard on the door! Different from before this time he is fully armed¡­ at least he has iron armor and a big sword¡­. When he click on the adventurer menu he can see some sub-menu now, it was adventurer and slaves! His manager was still considered an adventurer while this man was his slave! Even though he has the title of Blood Guard¡­. he doesn¡¯t know what it means either. Maybe it was the name of their group as the others have the same title right? Soon he doesn¡¯t think much about this and focuses on his mana circulation¡­ his money was reduced so much so he needs time to earn some back, after circulating for a while he stops and rests¡­ he just wants to make sure he does this every day and that there is at least a bit of progress. The next day he still goes to school like usual! But he goes straight to Mr. William and that old professor. First, he goes to Mr William ¡°Sir is there any important lecture or event soon ?¡± Garen wants to know if there is anything worth noting first and make a schedule according to it. Mr. William was not shocked by this random question right in the morning ¡°There is only a dungeon trial one month from now, you can do whatever you want before that.¡± Garen nodded, it seem they let their student do whatever they want and with that, he thanks Mr Willian and start to walk out, he want to look for that old professor and asked a similar question but regarding a lesson. ¡°Kid, did you think building a foundation can be done in a few days? Mana circulation will be the topic for a few months until I see some progress on students I will keep on that topic, of course you can ask other questions aside from it and if you show me your progress I will make an exception and teach you another lesson.¡± the old professor said, he make sure that every student learn the basic and in case some student was already good enough but others was not he will still teach them another lesson while forcing the others to take that basic mana circulation¡­.. Garen nodded and thank him, soon he walked toward the library he want to look for that mana barrier that this old professor tell him about! Yesterday he can¡¯t go to the library as he is so tired already¡­ even though mana circulation was important it was a boring and monotonous way of learning. Circulate your mana and circulate again, if it is just a few times he can do that but to do so for hours and days? it was something else, after that lesson he just want to go home. Now that he knows about this school''s way of teaching, he chooses to skip that mana circulation class¡­. soon after walking a few minutes he arrives at the library, as the name implies this place was a place to store books, and from the outside it was similar to a library from his previous world. Just the content was different... when he come in he doesn¡¯t need to show any student card or something and just walks straight to row after row of shelves. There were librarians but the sign already told him the general content of this library, they separate this book into segments depending on their topic, What he look for was the spell category and he look for that particular sign, sure enough, there are one! And with that, he starts to look at the book cover one by one¡­ well it seems he is too confident by not asking the librarians, many books teach spells here and he needs to take some time to search for that mana barrier spell! He read the title of many books, and he found out that they were separated based on their element too, the same as inside his games, some have red covers, it was fire-related spells, brown for earth, and so on. He search and found the white cover¡­ it seems a white cover for universal elements or maybe pure mana? as it was about mana circulation, mana bullets, and so on. Soon he found what he look for! The mana barrier was a book with a white cover and a blue circular icon, with that he start to read it on the spot! He found out that the general idea was pretty easy to understand he just need to condense his mana outside his body to make a physical barrier that help him defend against attack. he can understand that easily but the execution was rather complicated, as how you make that intangible feeling that is supposedly mana into a tangible mana barrier, how to make mana flow into air, and so on... This makes Garen can¡¯t help but press his temple¡­ it was not really that easy! Ideas and reality are always like that¡­¡­ Ch 36 Mana Barrier Soon Garen knows the rough idea but he doesn¡¯t dare to try circulating his mana based on this mana barrier book, he clearly remembers what his old professor said he can read but needed guidance if he wants to try it, and it was a risky idea to just blindly try that... even the book state he needs guidance as there are some steps that are dangerous, like circulating mana. Circulating mana was rather dangerous as he needs to do that exactly the way stated and if there are some deviations he can make his mana flow in disarray and many dangers can happen, even if it looks fine from the outside there are many hidden dangers too. What more he doesn¡¯t have any photographic memory so he just can¡¯t remember some of this book''s content well and need to reread it a few times, with that if he really tries maybe there will be a second ''accident''... so It was not a good idea to randomly do this! this makes Garen thinks about his lava ball, if what he thinks was right then it means he borrow Lila''s power so he can throw a lava ball safely without any systematic or learning method, but for him to learn a spell on his own? maybe he is not ready yet. Now Garen can only ask his professor or another teacher about this spell or he can ask the grand master on that tower! He''s not sure if it''s possible, but he can ask, right? nothing was wrong with that! so he walks into the toilet and opens his phone! Garen clicks on the tower and soon he can see that old man again, he doesn¡¯t know why but feels there are many old men in this game¡­ Soon the old man say something ¡°Young man what do you need now ?¡± A panel appeared and he can write what he want, so he just explain the content of the book and asks any suggestions. The old man starts to ponder for a moment and says ¡°Hum.. this was an interesting way of approach, if you want to learn that spell you need to have deep knowledge of mana circulation, so I suggest you learn mana circulation first, after that you can try that mana barrier spell.¡± It seems the old man doesn¡¯t want to just sell words, he soon waves his hand and a book flies toward Garen. ¡°That mana barrier was a rather advanced spell, if you want to learn speel that easier then I suggest you learn this.¡± Soon Garen can see it was the book from a few days ago, the mana shield! The difference from the mana barrier was this mana shield only made a shield in one direction while that mana barrier made it in a circular way, in easy terms defending him from all directions! Garen knew that this mana shield was 5.000 gems he have the money now and can buy one, so he buy it from this old man! Another piece of knowledge comes into his brain and makes him a bit dizzy! but then with this, he understands more about circulating mana and condenses it into a mana shield, as for the actual test he needs to try it later. This really boost his understanding of a way to make a mana barrier as it was just another way to use his mana to make a shield, as for mana consumption, he know that the mana barrier was way more mana-consuming than this mana shield. Of course, the mana barrier has advantages like it can defend him more securely and doesn''t need brain power to predict where his enemy will attack¡­ as sometimes an enemy will look like aiming at his front but maybe their spell will suddenly make a curve and attack his side or back right? Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. with this each of these spells has an advantage and disadvantage, mana shield needs less mana but its protection was limited, while the mana barrier needs so much mana but its protection was more secure, still they need to calculate how long they can conjure this barrier if not then maybe their enemy can just wait for a few second and attack them straight without any protection! As Garen understands the basics he can slowly learn about this and use it depending on the situation! He believe his mana was good enough to constantly use a mana barrier, still it was not as easy as a mana shield to learn¡­. Well, he is cheating when he learns this mana shield as for the mana barrier, he needs to explore it based on the book and needs more time to be at least proficient enough to use it in a battle, so he just needs to learn this mana barrier in his spare time! For now, he can start to see his company! With that he calls his driver, he uses this world phone of course¡­. he already remembers to bring it with him, not long after his driver arrives and they start to drive toward Garen''s new company! Believe it or not, when Garen arrived his company was not a massive building, only a two-story building with a double door and large windows that closed by a curtain, there not even any sign to display. This time his driver acts as a guide ¡°Young master this building was just purchased three days ago and still undergoing renovation, please be careful.¡± After that, the driver opened the building''s double doors, and when Garen entered it still smelled of paint, even though the driver said it still undergoes renovation this floor already looks neat and ready to use, there were even many shelves on the first floor. Garen already can imagine placing some candy here¡­ er wait it was a potion, he start to think about candy so much.... Now there was a problem¡­ what kind of shop did he need to open? As it acts as a decoy shop for his smuggling candy and modern items, he needs to have candy and modern items here too as to make it not look so suspicious. Garen look around and thought, There are two floors so how about making the first floor a normal civilian shop while the second floor is for adventurers? he can sell a super rare item from his game world over there! But still, he needs to make it secure enough¡­ so maybe he will use the first floor first, he is not ready to make contact with this world "adventurers" What''s more, when he walks to the second floor it still undergoing renovation, some paint is still wet and there is not even any furniture there, he can see some people painting and even cleaning this place. As they see him they start to gather and greet him rather anxiously, seeing this Garen just waves his hand. ¡°don¡¯t mind me continuing to work.¡± soon they continue to work. Garen looks around and this building is not big but not small either, he can make a small shop that provides many things here even if he only use one floor. With that he walk back toward the first floor, his driver then say ¡°Young master it was expected that tomorrow this shop can be opened, if you have any requirements you can tell me and I will tell our people in charge here to do what you want.¡± Hearing this makes Garen nod, he secretly thinks if there are people in charge here¡­ don¡¯t usually they will be the first to come and greet him? or maybe he read too many stories that it was not real at all... In the end, he just shakes his head and continues walking. After inspecting the first floor in greater detail, Garen tells his driver, "I want to make this first-floor sell candy, children''s toys, and clothing ranging from children to adult, next..." In the end, he divide it into two segments, the left one from the door was for kids, and the right one for adults. Not only he provides toys for kids he provides a toy for adults too! Like games¡­ even though this world was in constant war, entertainment was still needed¡­ There is something similar with ''Playbox'' 5 here just already more advanced looking, still it needs electricity to run tho¡­ soon he blinks as this makes him think about something, will he make so much money by selling a generator? the people of that game world need electricity to use any appliance from his world! In the end, he let his driver know he want to sell a portable generator that can be used to run this play box and other appliances directly¡­ ¡°Young master it needs to be customized but don¡¯t worry about it, with our connection it can be done soon!¡± the driver thinks about it and say this proudly! And Garen specify that it must have an easy way to charge and need to be constantly charged, at most it can sustain any appliance for a few days, but it needs to have a reminder too if the power was low as he doesn¡¯t want his customer to complain¡­. But now there is another problem he needs to choose a game on that play box series that can be played by his customer! As he knows the language of this world and the game world was different¡­ He himself can write this language but it does not mean he needs to translate every game to game world language right? Soon he thinks about how to make a guidebook¡­. he will just let the guidebook tell his customer what button they need to press and what menu will display¡­ if only there are a better thing that does not use text.....sadly this world of Virtual reality technology was not as advanced as sci-fi movies, they are constantly at war with dungeon monsters or other humans, so entertainment was rather stagnant in development, its progress but not as fast as weapons! Still, he believes that there must be a company that tries to develop a real virtual reality game set like in movies! Now that he thinks about movies¡­ why doesn¡¯t he let his customer of the ''game'' world watch movies first instead? Even though the writing of their language was different their pronunciation was the same! So they must understand this movie better than games right? This makes Garen think again¡­. he needs to look for a TV now¡­. of course, he let his driver do that¡­ He just needs to think about how to smuggle some TV¡­.. luckily when his drive comes back with a TV he can see that this TV was already compact and easy to move¡­ Ch 37 Movies Now there is a problem¡­ there was no CD or Blu-ray or any physical way to store movies¡­ as he knows.. he needs to ask his driver first¡­of course, there are some things like flash disks, but he can only use that for now. But the TV does not support that¡­¡­ TV nowadays already uses the internet so it was hard to look for a TV that supports outside sources like flash disks. After some research, he found out that there is one way! there are still CDs in the form of cards for movies but it is more like a collection and usually has the actor or actress''s personal sign there¡­ And if by any chance the owner of this card wants to watch, he only needs to sweep it on a TV hardware and it automatically scans the Card! It is called a flash card and no, it is not a card for kids, it functions really as a flash disk¡­. well it seems rather old-fashioned naming and in his own world this kind of technology was already implemented¡­ But here it was upgraded as it can scan not only small bytes of data but much more bigger data, even the whole movie! And of course, it was a collection¡­ Still, as long as it was available he can use it, right? And with this, Garen can use this idea to make more gold coins! He can just store one movie on one card and make a cover of that movie on the card... This looks like a good idea! So with that, he talk with his driver to have a prototype first and for movies¡­ maybe a romance one ? he believes that people from his game world will be bored of fighting¡­. But now it was a problem of settings¡­ he need to look for a romance movie that have similar settings to the medieval era! Luckily medieval era was still a good setting to use in movies here and there are many circulating outside! And so it become a hectic day for Garen, he need to go to many suppliers that sell this kind of item and manually store the movie inside the card, print the cover on the card and so it finished! Of course along the way he need to look for a generator too¡­ and asked for a modified version¡­ it was not so big and enough to be used for operating a TV. At first, he wants to let his driver handle that but in the end, he himself follows along¡­. Still advanced technology help with production and so today he already has a prototype of a Generator, TV, and even the Movie Card! He himself try it first and found it was a bit annoying to set up as he need to plug some cable from the portable generator to the TV and then sweep the trailer movie card on the TV hard drive. he wants to make money by selling the movies so he will only show the trailer right? Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Soon movies play on the screen¡­ with the help of holographic, his TV is already more like a projector and can be watched on widescreen. The sound was clear and the movies look engaging! It was a good set! Now he just needs to display it first and look for some customers to buy it! As for the price¡­ he doesn¡¯t know.. will he sell it in a bundle? or each item alone? In the end, he still set it to be separated, the TV was one set while the movie card, the battery, and the generator will be sold separately! Yes, he uses a battery that can be recharged with a generator.. even though this world has mana they still can¡¯t make a mana-related item so of course they can¡¯t make a TV that can be charged with mana. Their source of electricity was solar energy and thermal energy, of course this battery can be recharged, this battery was not so big but strong enough to turn on the TV for three or four days. As for recharging¡­. it seems to be a hassle to do that¡­. he will think of a way later, maybe buy slaves to make this work. it''s not a bad idea too. He needs to build a recharge station first for that¡­. and it will consume so much money. Even though it will be easy with his family funds but it still does not look good for him too¡­ at least he will wait until this plan really becomes profitable so he can build one with ease. He doesn¡¯t really know if this can be a hit on that world right? Soon he summons his Manager and lets him bring back this prototype set to his shop to display! Of course, he teaches him how to operate these items. Soon he looks at his phone and on a lone small table there is this set of TV and generator, what more it already being turned on! And his customer can see the scene from that movie! This really piques his customer interest and can¡¯t help but ask the old manager ¡°Sir what was that? did it a surveillance spell? and uhum don¡¯t it a bit rude to spy on a couple? Hearing this Garen''s manager starts to fire up! ¡°don¡¯t worry this was not a spell! It is called a movie! It tells us about the story of other people far away from here!¡± the manager explains to his customer. It seems his customer don¡¯t really know the difference between surveillance spells and movies¡­ ¡°erm don¡¯t it still the same? this was used to spy on others¡­.¡± This makes the old manager smile ¡°Of course not, it was more like a past history¡­. well it was telling about the history of someone....¡± garen did not really explain what movies were and his manager of course doesn¡¯t know what movies are¡­. ¡°uhum anyway it was for people to enjoy¡­ a show, well just think of it as an opera.¡± Hearing opera these people nod even though it was a fantasy world of course there is entertainment like opera here. Soon after many crowed and watch the movies¡­. This makes Garen baffled¡­. will they buy one or just watch there¡­¡­ it seems he can set a price for watching now¡­. luckily what they watch was only a few minutes trailer. Soon he can hear the manager cough ¡°This was for sale and it was not a full movie, you can watch it at home anytime you want! What''s more if you miss some scenes you can repeat that! I will show you how to do that.¡± With that the manager rewind the time for a bit and this make the people amazed! Of course, his manager does not stop here ¡°This was only the first movie that arrive, soon another movie will come in! Uhum in the easier term you can choose to watch what show you prefer later !¡± with that the manager explains more of this movies genre. Like fantasy, romance, and so on¡­. This makes some customers wonder about the price ¡° Sir how much is this movie ?¡± This makes the manager explain more ¡°These movies consist of three parts, one was the movie that you watch, and here the device that can play these movies, and the last one was this device, it can help to power all the other items, and it needs this small item called battery as a power source, you can think of it like a mana for mages..¡± Hearing this the others nod but their doubt is still not answered, soon this old manager says. ¡° For the price, all of this was 50.000 Gold coins! No battery and movie card included! One battery can power this device for three or four days! For this battery, each one was 5.000 gold coins! While movie card was 30.000 Gold coins!¡± this old manager explain excitedly but the people''s morale soon drop¡­ Most of them can¡¯t buy this device! This makes them sigh.. and some even ask ¡°Did we need to pay if we want to just watch ?¡± This makes the old manager think and give a proposal to Garen in real life! Soon a panel appeared on Garen''s phone and it say [your manager asked if he can take money from a customer to watch ?] [Approve] [Reject] Of course, Garen choose Approve! Soon his manager says ¡°Of course if you want to watch the full movie you need to pay 1.000 gold coins each time! And we will set a time to watch later.¡± Soon some people grumble ¡®can¡¯t we just do it now ?¡± The manager smiles and says ¡°Of course but we need to do some renovation first, wait for a day, tomorrow you can officially watch movies here!¡± This makes the customer nod and soon walk out¡­. they want to gather money for tomorrow! But this makes Garen sigh again¡­ his manager promises something that hard¡­. well luckily he has money to expand another land as it only requires 20.000 gold coins... Maybe his manager already think about it first, soon a panel appeared and explain his Manager asked him permission to buy a new land and renovate it into a movie theater! His manager don¡¯t know what a movies theater was but he still know opera so he will design a similar system with that.
