Vol 11 Chapter 8 (2/2)

‘And there are a lot of level 100 users around Lancel village That e is the perfect place to sell such items Why didn’t I consider it until now?’

Herbal redients so it could be sold forto save money, clearly the herbal medicines would be a better option If Ark e increase even further?

‘I thought of a good way to make money’

However, there was one problem It wasn’t possible to sell low level herbal ed in business for one or two days then it wouldn’t be lucrative Coe was a lot different In order to e variety of itee quantities

‘So it is necessary to have a store and a part-time salesman!’

Ark looked around his extended house and se so there was no need to worry And the part-time salesman Ark required…… It needed to be askills And Ark knew of one such merchant The hobbit Sid as tied to him with a slave contract

‘But Sid is ain any profit froe Then the re merchants……’

Ark smiled slyly and asked Buksil

“Buksil, have you been in touch with your brothers?”

“Huh? Yes, that……”

“Tell theht now”

“W-why?”

“I’ll introduce theood job”

Ark laughed as he got up from his seat Ark exited the house and immediately went to the town hall In order to open a shop in the village he had to get permission from the mayor first

“You want to set up a business?”

Galen became startled at Ark’s words

“Yes, I think I need to open soe

“Hmm, it’s not a bad idea but it won’t be easy… Well, it’s not that hard to give perh you own a house in the village, you need to possess 3 shares in the village before you can open a shop Did you know that?”

Of course he knew If a foreigner was able to easily own stores then there would be those sorts of shops in villages all over New World A normal user would nore In other words, without contributions a user wouldn’t be able to open a store no matter how much money they had Presently Ark had 25 of shares in Lancel village Thanks to Galen’s pro his house

“How much to raise it by 01?”

“200 gold”

“Huh?”

Ark who had been ru exclaiold froinal shares However, it wasn’t that bad The shares beco at a e was still developing Once he released the shares and sold it to users, he would definitely see a profit

‘Okay, thanks to my bank balance I can afford to spend the money here……’

Currently Ark carried 4,000 gold! Ark worried for a while before boldly handing Galen 3,500 gold It would definitely become profitable so there was no reason to hesitate

“So an extra 15 share and the store perold”

“Huh, you seemed to have received a lot of luck on this trip”

Galen ht of the money Anyway, he received a certificate from Galen and a new information ed up

-<relevant investment=”” information=”” =””>

Your shares in Lancel village have risen to 4

Once you have 3 shares then you are able to own a private store

A player operating a store will affected the coe If your trade flourishes and the village thrives then more contribution points will be added and your upper limit on the shares will increase However, if your business suffers a huge loss then it will decrease the reputation of the village When this happens, your upper liht be deprived of your shop permit

Currently owned shares in Lancel village (Owned/Upper Limit): 4/5

Money was iame Anyway now he had obtained the qualification to open a business Ark visited the raccoons and asked thereed to create shelves and cooldAfter 10 inal 4,000 but his heart was filled with pride

“My store!”

Tears gathered when he saw the sign ‘Ark’s Comprehensive Store’ His house, his store…people who hadn’t saved their pennies in order to obtain a house or a store wouldn’t be able to understand

——————————————————————————————————–

Sonize a solance While Ark was in the midst of preparations to open the store, Sid finally arrived in Lancel village And the moment Sid and Buksil met, they instantly understood each other

‘That dwarf e of him’

‘That hobbit merchant, he’s also been exploited by Ark’

They didn’t even have to ask They were people who suffered underneath Ark……

The people with experience understood each other too well

“Did you suffer a lot?”

“No, there is……”

Sid sighed as Buksil clasped his hands and rocked on his feet They stood facing each other before suddenly e tih they eak, the two er in that devilish person who exploited them…

“Hey Sid What are you doing?”

“Ark-nim!”

Sid automatically ht in his head, Sid’s weak body reacted first

“Did you get what I asked you to find?”

“Of course”

Sid quickly took out the unicorn horns fro

“Ayu, it was nothing These days it is so difficult to find unicorn horns that the price has increased to 1,050 gold But who ao to collect ice for hiold Hehehe, now the loan price settlement……’

Sid twisted his hands with an expectant look Ark narrowed his eyes at Sid’s attitude He knew Sid’s character For aso far in order to receive a loan settleht the unicorn horns And he already checked that the price rose to 1,050 gold on the auction site Roco was also firroup’s finances The e was to receive the items and settle the payment with Sid

“I’ll pay you right away But the gold and ite must be equal to the loan amount”

“Ah, Ark-nim knows that as well”

“Was it 4,000 gold?”

“Yep!”

Sid’s eyes brightened as Ark motioned to Roco to take out her wallet Then there was suddenly a cold smile on Ark’s face In fact, this was Ark’s trap Ark knew about the loan schee while travelling with Sid At that time, Sid mentioned that the interest for a loan was 5 In other words, Sid received a loan of 4,000 gold so the interest would be 200 gold Yet Sid never evena handling charge for the 4,000 gold

‘I knew soe I don’t knohere but he must’ve somehow purchased the unicorn horns for a rown that much? He even dared try to trick me?’

“Please show uild first”

“Huh? W-hy?”

Sid panicked and stuttered

“You ht not know, but haven’t I decided to operate a store? But I can’t operate it using a guessing system I have to check it and record it well after each transaction If you buy things with a credit note then hoill I know you haven’t taken anything? I want to confirold”

“T-t-t-that……”

“……Do you want to die?”

Ark murmured in a low voice before Sid tearfully extended his credit not It was recorded that he had spent 3,404 gold in an auction in Giran He had bought it for 851 gold instead of the 1,000 gold he told Ark He stared at it for a long time as the silence ticked away Well, his profession was apossible to receive a profit orthy of praise He didn’t want trouble before the opening of his business so Ark pretended to tolerate it

“You bought it cheaper than I thought Well done Here’s 3,404 gold”

Sid had swelled up with anticipation and released it with a sigh as he accepted the ht and quickly calculated the interest

“Ah Ark-nim, the loan interest…”

“What?”

Ark’s face twisted as he glared at hiain profit orth praising But only if Ark wasn’t his opponent

“What the? Why were you silent when I offered you 4,000 gold before? However now you’reto scam me? Huh? Do I look like I’ it then I won’t let the probleo Do you want me to become serious?”

“……Of course I will have to take care of it Hahaha, of course”

“Ah, is that what you meant? Hahaha, then I’m thankful”

Ark laughed and tapped Sid’s shoulder Of course, they payment Ark received froold He paid Sid 3,404 gold while the reold obviously went into Ark’s stoold left after all the preparations for his store so he needed this gold And Sid was forced to increase his debt by 200 in order to pay off the interestFortunately Isyuraold handling fee for the auction so ‘200-100+40=140’ So 140 gold still remained intact He had crudely tried to use a shrew plan but it ended up backfiring on himIsyuram to Sid, Sid to Ark…in the end the pinnacle of the food chain was Ark

‘Hah, it’s not my problem

Buksil sighed and watched the gloomy Sid walk around the corner He didn’t knohat happened but he could tell that Sid had been struck by Ark It was at that time He heard some marvellous voices from behind him

“Hyung-nim!”

“Oh, Sapjil! Ulmeok!”

Buksil turned around with a wide grin and shouted Buksil contacted Sapjil and Ulnantin the Netherworld Buksil’s face clearly showed signs of suffering and he earing shabby attire

“Ack, how has that guy been treating you?”

“Hyung-nim, you must have suffered a lot”

The three little pig brothers e down their faces Then Sapjil suddenly looked at Buksil His eyes blinked a few times before he winced and retreated

“Ah, Hyung-ni…c-chaotic…”

“Oh, you saw it? I’ll tell you what happened”

Buksil sighed and tried to explain However Ulmeok just flinched and retreated from him

“No, I’ll tell you the circue……Sapjil?”

Sasasasak

“Ulmeok?”

Sasasasak

Whenever Buksil approached, Sapjil and Ulmeok immediately avoided him

“Hyung-nim, I’m really sorry” But no matter how it happened, you’re still chaotic”

“Sob Hyung-niuy in the meantime”

“You, even you guys…!”

Buksil had believed in his two brothers and received a large shock from their attitude

“Ya, why are you lingering over there? A chaotic player can’t be hanging around when ht by a hunter So you should shut yourself up soo to the Netherworld”

“Even Ark-ni me like this?”

In the end Buksil was crushed as well and enter up standing gloomily next to Sid Sid and Buksil, these two merchants would continue to receive misfortune thanks to Ark

——————————————————————————————————–

Anyway all the necessary preparations were finished The interior had been changed and he even recruited a merchant as a salesman Of course the two merchants didn’t want to be salesed to convince Sapjil and Ulmeok to stay until Buksil’s chaotic status was removed And the next day, ‘Ark’s Comprehensive Store’ opened its doors

“Now, I’ from today!”

Ark exclai up at the entrance It was the ‘One thousand visitors’ It was an iteoods Originally he thought to give it to Sid but now he used it directly for his own gain!

The grand opening of ‘Ark’s Coe!

It sells all iteic items!

Also selling unusual but inexpensive items that don’t exist in middle earth!

Feel the efficiency of the herbal medicines only sold at Ark’s Comprehensive Store!

Reco! Herbal Tea: 1~3 silver

An innovation price for a remedy to treat abnormal states! Salve: 10~15 silver

Eating this food will old

Li of the store! Nadingka’s fruit: 2 silver

Ark started his business with the herbal et an explosive response froest probleer than in the past The larger scale of the village eneral stores In total there were 12 shops And all the stores were concentrated at the entrance or in the centre of the village On the other hand, Ark’s store was in a residential area There was no large population flow there so it was impossible to do business

‘What, this is? At this rate will I lost my investment?’

Ark watched the empty store for two days with impatience There were quality ite 50 cheaper while the tonic would be helpful in i the stats of level 100 users But what did it matter if the products were excellent? How could users try it if they didn’t even know about it?

‘As expected, I have to advertise the business An idol is the best for effective advertising’

So Ark visited the Meow section and requested Jana’s help With the usual Ark adoration Jana gladly accepted

“hello nyang Everybody, do you knoonderful boyfriend Ark? Nyang nyang, in fact he opened a store in the residential business He has really good ite”

Jana promoted the store to her fan club after she danced

……It had an effect

-That bastard, get lost

-I hope all your items are destroyed!

Curses and profanities were immediately written on the walls of Ark’s Conificantly y

‘Unbelievable How the hell can I gather people…?’

Ark frantically thought of new ies

‘Wait? Isn’t there an easy way to get people to buy good ite the price for low level users would be a burden so shouldn’t I go the opposite way? I’ll hide the store instead of advertising it’

Ark instantly implee was enorn and product list away and met with the Meow, the raccoons and the refore rue behind him

“Hey, did you hear the rumour?”

“Yes I heard it The one about the huge effects?”

“I’ve received an introduction so let’s go check it out”

The Meow, raccoons and thieves gathered in groups of 2 or 3 and whispered together Whenever the users approached them, they would panic and hurriedly shut their mouths Users started to show curiosity once ruames, sometimes players would find a secret shop Those stores weren’t available everywhere and sold unusual goods All the users were gaht of a secret store when they saw the NPCs reactionsThe users would sometimes raise their intimacy with the NPCs to obtain the infor the NPCs And shortly after……

“hello!”

“What product are you looking for?”

Ark welcolanced around at the iteathered from the Netherworld was on display However, the warrior wasn’t disappointed He received inforuised

“Hmm hmm, I heard there were rare items only shown to people introduced here”

“Huh? Uh, where did you hear such talk…?”

Ark’s tense expression completely convinced the warrior

“A person I know introduced me So can you show me?”

“But it’s a secret so if can’t just show it to anyone……”

“That won’t be a problem I won’t spread any rumours so just show me a little bit”

“Hah, it can’t be helped I understand I’ll show you as long as you don’t go anywhere else to buy it”

“Yes yes, I understand”

“Then first take a look at this note It lists the inventory of items only sold to ‘chosen’ people Don’t say the names and just secretly write what you want and the quantity”

When Ark spoke secretly, the warrior pretended ignorance like a hero in a spy movie and read the piece of paper It had in depth inforiven this paper on the streets, the warrior probably would’ve thrown it aithout looking at it However, the warrior was tempted by the ‘secret’ and read the piece of paper several times

“I didn’t know there were such items Give me 10 of this and this”

“Oh, but those items don’t have that much left in stock…”

“I’ll pay one silver more”

Ark sighed and pretended to fret so the warrior became impatient and promised even more money

‘Huhuhu, it is a success!’

Ark laughed as he watched the warrior carry out the goods he received The ‘secret’ was the core of histhe first to know the secret was the original charm But after a while…anyone could know the secretAt first they would probably feel a sense of superiority However, they won’t be able to feel that sense of superiority if they didn’t tell anyone The people who looked for Ark’s Comprehensive Store were the same They all nodded when Ark asked theo to their friends and say ‘that guy sold this to me’ And the surprised friends would confirinal buyer’s face would say ‘Huhuhu, how about it? I know this secret shop’ It was a do expression on his face

The h everyone knew about it, the users thought they were the only ones to know and secretly gathered in Ark’s shop And every time they would buy 10 or 20 after Ark mentioned that the items were almost sold out Thanks to that the herbal medicines suddenly ran out

‘Wow, it’s not a joke? All these ingredients supplied by Buksil have run out?’

The ingredients supply couldn’t keep up with the sales so Ark visited the Baran at the training centre The Baran gathered sap soskill Ark shared japtem with them since they didn’t have the concept of redients froe A new rumour started to spread that NPCs with blue skin sie……

Anyway, thanks to that Ark’s ‘secret’ store became famous

‘Nowthe house, I invested approxiold into this business I have to maintain this state for several e now has a oods……’

Since the business becaes

‘I can’t be preoccupied with the sales I also have to connect with Sid’s trading post in Silvana and engage in large transactions But I have to rely on Sapjil and Ul the shop to them is a bit……’

Yes, Ark wasn’t satisfied with it just being the secret store in Lancel village He had the intention of connecting with the trading post in Silvana when he created the store Connecting to Silvana was the first step in establishi+ng a trade route between Silvana and Lancel which was Ark’s grand dream However, Ark couldn’t becoe But he orried about entrusting it to Sapjil and Ulmeok

‘A trustworthy person……’

Then Ark suddenly heard Roco’s voice in his ears

“Kids, what are you doing now?”

“Isn’t the turnover rate for that one the best? Pile it up on the outside”

“Look at this dirt Is that what you consider cleaning? The attitude is a probleet rid of”

These days, it was routine for Roco to stay in the store and nag Sapjil and Ulers as he stared at Roco

‘That’s right, why didn’t I think of that?’

She was too close so I didn’t notice Roco had experience after handling the finances of the rehabilitation group and 300 thieves Although she wasn’t as strong in profit or loss as therasp on Sid, Sapjil and Ulmeok Additionally, he could always take to Roco on the phone and get a grasp on the situation in the store and provide necessary instructions Indeed, she was the best choice for a store er!

“Roco, would you like to becoer?”

“Store er?”

“Yes, there will be numerous times when I’ll have to leave and I can only entrust it to you”

“I’ll do it I accept!”

Roco shouted when Ark finished talking

“The pay is…”

“You don’t have to worry

Oppa’s money is my money……’

Roco laughed as she twisted her body A fantasy was already playing in Roco’s head

“Oppa, I’ve earned all this gold!”

“Oh, indeed you’re the only one I can trust My burning love, !”

“Hohoho, let’s build a house of gold on that blue meadow”

“Hahaha, let’s eat as much cotton candy as ant!”

‘Hehehe’

Roco drooled while is Sapjil and Ulmeok winced and retreated

“W-what’s with that wo?”

“Clearly her -nim, we have to work for her?”

“A devilish owner, crazy er…why do ays……”

“Sob, Hyung-nim I’m scared”

Sapjil and Ulmeok cried as they embraced each other and treeneral er for Ark’s Comprehensive Store
