Chương 7: FIRST UNDERLING
The morning after the meeting Alex harvested and crafted all 72 mana potions and the 6 health potions for the day, he still needed 3 more days before the 8 new health plants finished growing. After finishing this task and storing the potions in his inventory, he put on his cloak before traveling into town. He spent hours simply walking around and inspecting people. Most were just going about their days, buying, selling, trading and socializing. One group that caught his attention was a group of 4 Dwarves, after stalking them for a bit he came to the conclusion that they were idiots. However they could be used as soldiers in his Mafia, but soldiers would come laters. Right now he was looking for someone who was stealthy, agile and intelligent. They would be his first dealer.
It was nearing evening time and he had yet to find a potential recruit. Currently he is walking down one of the more poorly maintained neighborhoods, if he could find someone here to recruit then with the promise of a bit of gold per sale there is a higher chance of loyalty. Of course greed is something most sapient beings are familiar with. He would need to find a way to observe his underlings, perhaps the system had a way. But that's a conversation for later. Currently he was watching as a cloaked form attempted to steal from one of the few vendor stalls in this neighborhood. It looked to be a female or a thin male with little muscle. The jumped down from the roof above the stall and grabbed a small bad of silver in one of the stall drawers. All before the vendor could take action, unfortunately for the would be thief the vendor seemed used to such things happening. As the thief turned to run the vendor pulled on a rope hooked to the stall, the other end of said rope lay on the ground beneath the mud right where the thief would. The rope tied around the thief's legs causing them to fall to the ground, dropping the pouch of silver. The vendor looked pissed, and who could blame him, he was approaching the downed thief with a knife in hand. Alex quickly made his way over grabbing the vendors hand and putting a gold coin in it before whispering in the man's ear.
"Now good sir there is no need to resort to violence today. I have given you a gold, let me take this thief off your hands."
The man quickly looked at the coin in his hand before grunting and untying the thief, who Alex firmly put a hand on there shoulder. Quickly walking away, the thief began struggling to get out of his grip.
"Now none of that. You will come along, you've impressed me so we will speak about you getting a job and opportunity to make much gold." Alex said to the now confirmed female Elf. Eventually they made their way to Ailas's bookstore, who jumped up with a smile when seeing Alex come in.
"Ailas I'm not here for a deal. I require use of a room so this Elf and I may speak away from any unwanted ears. Here take 1 gold for use of one of your rooms. Any will do." Alex told the man. Ailas nodded before beckoning them to the back hall and opening the door to the same storage room from the night before.
"I will leave you." Ailas said before shutting the door and walking back to the front of the store.
"Lower your hood. I want to see the face of my potential underling." Alex told the woman.
"Well why don't you lower yours? I want to see the face of my potential boss." The woman said with a sassy tone.
Chuckling Alex replied, "Until you have gained my trust I will not show my face. My business has potential to draw powerful enemies. The less who know who I am the better for all."
The woman glared for a moment before lowering her hood. She had silver head and purple eyes with pointed ear and thin lips. This explained why she was living as she is, the silver hair is the tell tale sign of void magic. A Magic banned by the Church of Life for being evil or some nonsense, meaning she would have very few employment opportunities, even if she tried being a prostitute men would still avoid her. And dye apparently get destroyed by their void Magic within minutes of applying it to the hair.
"Well an interesting development. This certainly explains a bit of your situation." Alex told the woman. "So what is your name?"
"Nyana. What's this job you have for me?"
"Well Nyana, you will be selling my…products to specific customers. The man running this store for example is one said customer. With each sale you make 10%. So if you sell 100 gold worth then you take home 10 gold that day. If you prove to be loyal, how much you make and your position will increase. If you're loyal you get more wealth and power. After all I am the only person in the world who has these products, so being one of my dealers with bring you much." Alex told her.
"What's your name? And what are these products of yours?" Nyana asked.
"You may call me the Don. As for the products, you may only know after accepting to join me."
Nyana was quiet for nearly ten minutes. She got the creeps from this person, however he is offering her wealth and power if she's loyal and sells his products. She would accept and if it turned out to be true she would tell this man about others like her.
"Fine I accept." Nyana said.
"Tomorrow morning return here. We will speak more."
Nyana nodded before saying, "If this turns out to be real, then I know of others that will be interested in this. After all there is an entire underground society, of outcasts and criminals such as myself, in this kingdom." She quickly left after saying that.
Alex was shocked, nothing he read mentioned such a thing. Every book made it seem like society was thriving after 150 years of peace. Hmm and interesting development. He quickly left the store after telling Ailas he would return the following morning with the same person. Luckily the man hadn't Nyana's face.

After returning to the cabin Alex asked the system, {System is there any to observe my underlings from a distance?}
[Yes after you unlock the ability to use magic. Which you can now because…]
[QUEST 2: Recruit your first underling.] [COMPLETED]
[REWARD 2: 100 Credits, 1 Fast Growth Greenhouse, 1 Cloak of Shadows.]
[Check the store you have unlocked new items.]
{Store.}

[FAST GROWTH GREENHOUSE - 60 Store Credits. 10x Growth Speed. Can Hold 7 Small Plants.]

[MOLOTOV COCKTAIL - 35 Store Credits. Let's burn some shit.]
[AS YOU EARN MORE CREDITS MORE ITEMS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE.]
He has 146 credits now. An extra greenhouse and cloak is nice too. What truly shocked him wasn't that he could now use magic. No it's the fact that the store was allowing him to purchase modern weaponry in a medieval magical world. If you didn't use magic then you used other weapons such and swords and bows. As much as he wants to buy both the colt and mana stone he didn't have enough for either.
{Thanks system. Is there another way to make credits though?} Alex asked.
[Hmm fine. Doing this means I don't have to waste so much of both our time with dumbass quests, meaning I can sleep more.]
[Currency exchange unlocked.]
[Current Exchange Rate: 3 gold : 1 credit]
Alex currently has 662 gold. Meaning he could exchange it all for 220 credits if he wanted. So even if he bought both the mana stone and colt he still wouldn't have enough to buy ammo. Whatever.
{System exchange 600 gold.}
[Confirmed. Exchanged. You have received 200 credits.]
Now having 346 credits Alex decided to spend some on what he needed. The mana stone for 150, 3 health seed packs for 24 and changing the new cloak to have his emblem for 5. He would spend a total of 179, leaving him with 167.
{System purchase 1 mana stone. 3 health seed pack and use 5 credits on the new cloak to add my emblem.}
[Confirmed. Completed. Check inventory.]
Checking his inventory he saw a dark blue stone, the 3 health seed packs and the cloak now had his emblem. Quickly taking the stone out and inspecting it he saw. [Infused user's body with mana. Crush in hand to begin process.] shrugging he crushed it and suddenly passed out.

UnKnownEntity001
UnKnownEntity001 Well some interesting developments. Soon our MC will learn some magic. Don’t expect him to focus to much on it though, especially since he’s now found out he can buy modern weaponry from his original world. What do y’all think of this chapter?
