My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 609 - How To Make Money!
-----
[Master, I suggest you to quickly buy the items in the Market, they cost Coins, a new currency that is used in this world. You can exchange Coins for App Points. 100 App Points is 1 Coin]
[Do you want me to buy the items automatically for you?]
[If so, stand up and pretend that you go look for the items in the backroom]
The System was very supportive, she immediately tried to guide Frank as fast as possible. Frank nodded a bit nervously; he had never attended a shop before.
"I-Immediately! Wait a bit, please…" he said, rushing to the backroom.
The woman looked down at the beasts standing there.
"You're an interesting bunch… I've never seen these types of monsters… Must be endemic of this region…" she said, as she quickly took out some strange device, resembling a phone, but made of magical items.
She quickly activated it and tried to check the species of these monsters…
She ignored Ruby because she was clearly more like a demi-human, not a monster, and demi-humans were also people in this world who could tame monsters, so they were not exactly considered monsters themselves.
The woman checked in Zhulong first, while Ruby sat down looking at her. She quickly found an error, the classification of Zhulong was too high, her "Monster Dex" Artifact was not capable of inspecting monsters that were two Ranks above her own Trainer Rank.
"W-What? You're so strong despite looking so little…" said the woman.
All the monsters as of now used the Size Alteration Skill to look small… Zhulong looked at her with its beady eyes.
"Groar…" it said cutely.
The woman blushed a bit.
He was surely a cute little eastern-like dragon…
"…"
She approached Zhulong and petted his head.
She smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Frank found himself in the empty backroom, gasping for air.
"Phew… Alright… Monster Pet Item Market, open!" said Frank.
FLASH!
A large window showed up in front of Frank, as he quickly decided to exchange things using the help of the System Artificial Intelligence.
Ding!
[You've exchanged 100.000 App Points]
[You acquired 1.000 Coins]
[You have exchanged 250 Coins] f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
[You acquired [Spirit Grass Bag (Adult-Class)] x10]
[You have exchanged 300 Coins]
[You acquired [Fire Bark Powder Bag (Adult-Class)] x6]
[You have exchanged 450 Coins]
[You acquired [Monster Pet Health Tonic Pack (Adult-Class)] x12]
"This should be enough… Wow, Coins are expensive… this much was 100k App Points… This world is truly high leveled to have this much expensive stuff…" sighed Frank.
[You can earn more Coins by selling these items, and then exchange them back to App points]
[This way, you can actually make a profit out of this shop and slowly build more App Points]
"Oh! I see… I guess that's good." Said Frank.
He quickly walked outside, finding the woman sitting over the floor while petting all his Monster Pets.
"Eh?" he asked in surprise. This was definitely not the impression she gave off. But it seemed that she liked monster pets a lot, and found them all cute enough to pet them.
She was smiling cutely, her eyes were filled with cuteness while petting these creatures.
"Customer? Here's your order…" said Frank.
"Oh? Ah!"
The girl quickly straightened and stood up, moving away from the monsters.
Frank smiled gently back at her.
"I see that you like them? They have always been my companions." He said.
"I see… You have a lot of Dragons… I-I was just inspecting them because Dragons are very rare…" she said, hiding the fact she was surprised they were above her own Rank. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
"How many will you buy?" wondered Frank.
"I want six Spirit Grasses, three Fire Bark Powders and a dozen of Tonics…" she said.
"That's going to be… Erm… (System, how do we price these?!)" asked Frank.
[Spirit Grass cost you 25 Coins per one, Fire Bark Powder was 50 per one, and Health Tonics were 37.5 Coins per one… Price them as double the price for now to see her reaction]
"Six Grasses would be… 300 Coins, two Fire Bark Powers, 200 Coins… and twelve Tonics… 900 Coins, a grand total of? 1400 Coins." Said Frank.
"Oh, that's cheap… And they're of excellent quality too…" said the girl while nodding.
"Cheap? Sorry… I am quite new here, how much do they usually cost?" wondered Frank.
"Depends on the Class of the product… but Adult-Class Spirit Grass sells usually for 70 Coins… Fire Bark Powder is very rare and on demand for Fire-type Monster Pets, so they're usually at 200 in the cheapest places, but you got them at half the price… And then there are the Tonics, these are usually 100 per bottle, if they're of low-grade," said the girl.
"(Eh?! Seriously? How expensive is this world?! You're kidding me? System! Should we increase the prices?)" wondered Frank.
[Not now, you will make a bad impression if you do… Also, ask for her name, she could become a customer that might come back…]
"I see… Well, I am rather new, but I can't rally change the prices for you, so I'll sell them for this for now… But with a condition… How about you tell me your name?" wondered Frank.
"My name? I am Luca Shelter… You can just call me Luca." Said the girl.
"Luca, very well then, thanks for your purchase… You're the first customer I have since I opened the shop…" said Frank.
"Is that so…? Well, I might come back, see ya…" said Luca, as she walked outside.
"PHEW…"
Frank sighed in relief. He looked at the golden coins he got, and quickly realized he had made almost double what he spent in buying the products…
This was insane, couldn't he just slowly multiply his App Points like this?! These were quite the profits!
"Why is everything so expensive in this world?" he wondered.
[It might be due to the higher magic richness it possesses… Everything in here is overflowing with energy everywhere. Compared to Terra and Earth, this world might be a hundred times richer in energy, the monsters roaming this world can grow to such immense sizes and gain so much power due to this world itself being overflowing with energy…]
"Is that so…? To think there are worlds like these…" said Frank.
For now, he decided to close the shop and move back to Earth, he wanted to tell his family what he just experienced before doing anything else…
