บท 21: Chapter 21
We arrive just as the sun is about to disappear into the horizon. I smile at the boatman and take out some money from my inventory.
"Here you go. Thank you for your service."
"Hah! Think nothing of it, lad. I'm happy to take you to Lordlake. If you want to go there, you already know which boat you need to take."
"Of course."
After saying goodbye to the boatman, we decided to visit the inn on the western side of the city and rent some rooms for all of us. After paying for the room, I quickly get inside my room and take out my phone.
I smile a little when I see my new point. I have twenty-five points ready to use. I quickly go to the talent section and buy the [Template Stacking I]. I quickly type Jeane in the search bar and press the select button.
However, instead of getting a notification that my order is coming, I get another kind of notification.
|[Template Stacking I] price will double up each time you buy it. Current price: 40|
Shit! Forty points?! I thought the price was still the same! Damn.
I already have Goesch, and he is a tier-4 target, which means another six points in the bag. However, that only leaves me thirty-one points and not enough points to buy the template stacking.
Tch. What should I do now? I want to buy a method that lets me travel the world, but it will cost me two hundred points. I need to take another mission, huh? I have already taken one. I need to ensure the main character gets a good ending by ensuring no one dies in battle while he gathers the 108 Star of Destiny. I also want to recruit as many 108 Star of Destiny members as possible without Freyjadour's help.
I looked at the mission progress and noticed I already recruited nine of them. I already recruited Nikea, Norma, Ernst, Belcoot, Marina, Gavaya, Goesch, Talgeyl, and Silva. It looks like I did not need to stamp them to make them follow me. Interesting.
I thought that Belcoot would be registered to the prince, but by my interference with the main storyline, Belcoot connects to me rather than the prince. I don't know how it works, but I'm grateful for it because I only need one more person to get five points.
I need to make a connection to twenty people for another ten and thirty for another fifteen points. I will get eighty if I complete the quest by ensuring the prince gets his good ending. The entire mission will get me a hundred and ten if I complete the entire side quest. However, it is a long-run mission.
That still leaves me with many points before I can buy the teleportation perk. There is another cheaper option, but it is a random jump, and I need to buy more perks to let me return. It is still cheaper, but I need to complete some hidden mission by following the plot, defeating the bad guy, or capturing many waifu and husbando in that world before I can jump to the next world again.
I can buy the upgrade, but it will cost more, but at least I can visit the previous world I visited now. If I buy the last upgrade, I can choose which world I want to visit. However, to reach that, I need sixty points, and the company will offer seven worlds where I can choose which one I want to visit.
I think about it for a few seconds. There are two options; the first option is to go through my first plan and buy the multiverse travel perk, which costs me two hundred points. The second option is to buy the company method, which only costs me sixty points, but they only offer me seven worlds to choose from, and I need time to visit other worlds.
Urgh. You know what? I will think about it later. For now, I need to prepare for the main storyline. It should be here in a few days, and I need to prepare. To prepare for this, I need to become a real merchant and know which perk I can buy.
I scroll through the catalog and see my target. I press the buy button, and suddenly, a rush of knowledge and some kind of energy gets inside my body. After a few seconds, many kinds of pings inside my head start ringing. This ping is like the instinct when a dangerous thing comes at me, and my instinct kicks in.
However, instead of fighting, this ping is about making money because I just bought the [Money Talent] that lets me smell opportunity and feel the flow of the market in your bones. As long as I actually put effort into it, I can go from being broke to being a millionaire in a few months.
At least, that is what the description says. However, I know it is true because of the feeling I'm getting.
I smile a little and take my jacket. I have some business to do.
=//=
"You know boss… I know you are a merchant, but I never thought you would be this good. It's only been five days, and you are already getting this much money. How do you know that the Port Spinacks will be in sort of food?"
I smile at Nikea's words and say.
"Rumor. I overhear there is a food problem in the Port Spinacks because of the Sacred Games. I also heard on the news that Estrise had a lot of food because of the high harvest, and they did not know where to sell their food."
"And you swoop in to buy the food at a low price and sell them here at a higher price. That is why you quickly take us early in the morning to go to Estrise."
I nod at her as I store a stack of money inside my inventory. I buy the entire food for five million potch and sell them all for ten million. I managed to get double the profit. It looks like [Money Talent] lets me know where I need to go to hear the right rumor and information to make a profit.
Sadly, my talent did not scream at me in this city. However, it screams when we pass Doraat Fortress.
"Hey, you!"
I snap from my thoughts and look to the side to see a beautiful woman standing there while looking at me.
"I'm sorry to sound rude, but my name is Hazuki, and I'm a swordmaster. I explore the world to hone my swordsmanship, and my instinct tells me that you are a great swordsman and the sword on your hip is not for show."
I look at her and say.
"And?"
She smiles and takes out her sword, a katana.
"Please exchange some pointers with me."
