The warehouse that Karl picked out for the Clan wasn’t anything glamorous, but it was large, and in a prime location.

If they were back in the Golden Dragon Nation, Karl would have said that it was an abandoned department store, but he had never seen anything resembling the concept outside of that one nation.

There were large stores, distribution warehouses, but not the kind of variety store that you could just wander around in until you found the thing that you didn’t know you needed.

It was actually a better system, in his opinion.

While you ended up spending your limited money on things you didn’t need, it would also show the Immortals things that were available, and they hadn’t considered before.

If you didn’t know that something was available, it was entirely up to you to research and find out what worked for the situation that you were in. So, limited resources meant that you wouldn’t even find out that there might have been a solution right under your nose the whole time.

Even if you were immortal, it was impossible to know everything about everything, so there was a good chance that many of the plants that even the Alchemists stockpiled had uses that were not widely known.

Finding those uses was most of what Remi and Socrate had been doing, and even how they were still coming up with new recipes using the same basic ingredients in different proportions and combinations.

Forget that there were thousands of rare resources available as well.

Most of those were likely to be used in the least optimal possible manner, simply because someone heard that it might help with a growth issue they were having.

He’d even seen people get resources out of the warehouse and consume them directly, with no refinement at all.

That couldn’t be the best way.

"This warehouse looks good. We can work with this. The only real question is how much we should transfer here." Elder Douglas noted.

Karl shook his head. "Don’t transfer anything. It will fill as people bring in resources. I know that the warehouse in the main compound was already full to the point you had an offsite storage.

So, just let the Clan members fill this one with resources as they travel, and then we can make a runic array for the front desk clerks to have the bunnies retrieve items from the other location.

A simple micro portal will do for most things, letting the bunnies pass items through between towns.

That way, you can say it’s all in stock at both locations, but some things will be large enough that they need transport, or to be picked up wherever they’re stored.

For example, if someone requests a large statue carved with protective wards." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Elder Douglas nodded. "Actually, we will need a few of those ourselves. Perhaps we should ask the Lycan Elders, as they have a higher base power level?"

Karl shrugged. "That is true. Though, I can make an item and leave it partially unfinished, just waiting for the Clan Leader to imbue it with power to activate it. Then, it will come online as a Supreme Ranked protective ward."

"Oh, that is much better. If you can do that, we can have the warehouse just as well protected as our original one, and we only have to wait for the Clan Leader to find time to assist."

Karl resisted the urge to say something about her being busy for some time, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Well, we can start with what we can do, and then have her add the extra layers with our assistance. It might not be as good as the original warehouse right away, but there also isn’t anything in it."

The Elders chuckled at that. The warehouse wouldn’t stay empty for long when there were a whole bunch of craftsmen in the town.

Once they all got to work that warehouse was going to fill quickly, and the Elders all knew that Karl had a separate space full of rare magical plants and alchemy ingredients that he wasn’t currently shipping to the Clan.

That was just the nature of the space, and the resources were there for the people who lived in it. But that didn’t mean that there weren’t some that could be harvested and sold without any impact at all on the Tiny World.

Some grew so fast that they were left to die at the end of their growth cycle instead of being harvested.

They were just the background filler of the Tiny World, advanced from their base form by the high energy density and the presence of Immortal Energy.

"I just realized something. We don’t have bunnies here.

It’s not that we’re short on bunnies. They’re terrified of the Lycans, so they’re not going to want to come out and help. Or, if they do, they’re going to be so skittish that it will be impossible to get anything done.

You could keep them in the warehouse if you wanted, but that would be a restrictive life for them." Karl added.

Elder Douglas frowned. Nothing ran without the bunnies there behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. If they had to operate without them, even a simple warehouse would require a change of strategy.

The Lycan Elders shrugged. "We have a strategy for that, since we didn’t have bunnies in our village either. We just have the noncombat classes and the young ones do the jobs that require being behind the scenes.

That way they learn how things usually go for the warriors, and the ones with specialty skills that aren’t needed all the time can feel productive when they’re not going outside."

Elder Douglas nodded. "That’s who we usually have working the counter. We just keep the bunnies for the retrieval and cleaning duties, since they don’t have System access, so there is no point in them stealing items."

Behind him, Dana shared a sly smile with Cara, then covered the badger’s mouth before she could tell him.

Bunnies without systems was about to change.
