Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The First Sale

In the morning, Alex went to townhall to settle the abandoned house. He walk to the receptionist "Welcome back Mr. Alex, are we going to proceed with the acquisition of the house?" The receptionist asked. Alex nodded "yes please. Also, I would like register that house as a store as well." He added. The receptionist nodded and prepared the necessary paper works and after a few minutes "Mr. Alex, here's the land ownership for the house and here's the business permit for you to convert the house into a store. That would be a total for 1400 silvers, 1000 silvers for the land ownership and 400 silvers for the business permit." Alex paid the silvers and make his way to the store.

Back at present, Alex opened the door and a musky smell permeating inside. "I guess this was abandoned a long time ago." He thought to himself. As he enters the house suddenly a ring comes to his mind "Detected a possible store location, initializing store conversion." A bright light blinded Alex and after a moment, the house interior change. The inside of the house is cleaned, the floorboards seems new, there is a front desk and behind the front desk was cabinets, cupboard and display shelves. "Conversion complete! Online supplier is ready to use. Thank you for your patronage. Goodbye!"

After the series for ringing in his mind, Alex was dumbfounded. "What the heck is online supplier? And how the hell am I going to use that? Is there no instructions?" Then another pang of pain in his head arrived. Just like the previous one, alot of information was infused to his memory but this time, he didn't pass out and grit through the pain.

After a minute of battling the pain, it slowly subsided. Breathing deep "so that's how you use it." Alex was enlightened. He open the online supplier and found five different items. He was familiar with this items because they are common items that those with power uses.

Mana Potion - will help you recover your mana by 20% - 100 SP

Endure Potion - increases your recovery rate from injuries by 15% - 100SP

Spirit Capsule - increases your recovery of qi by 10% - 100SP

Town Portal - will help you exit a dungeon or transport you to the last town you went. - 200 SP

Fenix Powder - Can help you cure all ailments that is in tier 1 category - 150SP

Alex read the descriptions of the item and nodded. "They are all common items indeed." Then, he proceed with exploring the options and after some exploring, he found out that SP standa for store points and to get store points you can convert your wealth into store points. Alex tried to insert a silver in the conversion slot and the 0SP increase to 2.5SP meaning 1 silvers is equivalent to two and a half point.

Alex pondered "although these items are common and necessity, the most purchased item in the market is the mana and endure potion and they are being sold for 100 silvers followed by the townportal for 200 silvers. The fenix powder, i can forgone it for now since the dungeon near the town doesn't have any monster that causes any ailments." With this thought, he converted all of his remaining silvers which is 239 and was converted to 600 SP and purchase 2 mana potion, 2 endure potion and a town portal.

As Alex is busy managing his new store and arranging his product, an adventurer with a worn out sword and armor was walking aimlessly in an inconspicuous alley. "Damn it! Where can i find some supply with this much silvers." The adventurer sighed as he look at his purse with 300 silvers. In a normal set up the proper budget for an adveturer to set on the dungeon was around 600 silvers and more than 1000 silvers if you are running a party. This particular adventure seems to hit a dead end since he doesn't have any budget and with his poor looks, we doubt that he is running a party "eh? Who the hell said that my looks are poor!" Said yhr adventurer grumbling to the voice he just heard.

Anyway, on the other side, Alex just finished arranging his products and about to go out to hang the "Store Open" sign on his front door. As he went outside, he saw the poor looking adventurer, walking aimlessly and suddenly remembered his previous situation "Maybe this lad needed a new start as well." He thought. After hanging the signage at his front door, he greeted the poor-looking adventurer "Hey Mister, would you like to browse my store? I just open my store maybe you can find something you like?" The poor-looking adventurer stare at Alex and nodded and followed Alex Inside of the store.

"Here mister, i am currently selling my mana potion and endure potion for only 80 silvers. Would you like to purchase one?" Alex offered. When the poor-adventurer heard the prices, he was dumbfounded and can't help but ask to clarify "did you just said that your endure potion is 80 silvers?" "Yes that's right! Its 80 Silvers. Would you like to buy one?" The poor-looking adventurer eyes lit up "How many do you have?" He asked "For now I only have 2 endure potion. Would you like to buy it?" The poor-looking adventurer think for a moment and nodded "okay I'll buy the two endure potion that you have as well as 1 mana potion." Alex smiles and prepare the potions. "That would be 240 silvers." The poor-looking adventurer smiles and give the 240 silvers to Alex. "Thank you for your patronage, please come back again!" "I will shopkeeper!" The poor-looking adventurer replied.

With the sale that Alex made, he can't help but to smile from ear to ear. "This is the start of earning wealth! Even if i don't have talent in adventuring, i will live comfortably live my life to the fullest." Alex immediately cash in his 200 silvers into store points and purchase 4 endure potion and 1 mana potion. With no other things to do, Alex went outside, flip the store signage and went to the market to buy some food.

After a buying foods, he went back to his store, flip the signage again to open and just waited in the front dest until sunset. After a few hours waiting in the store Alex decided to closed up the shop and call it a day.
