When Lamar told the whole story to Alex, Alex eyes lit up "A big customer!" He said to himself. He look at the bald guy with a smile "what items do you need mister?" Clyde hesitate dor a moment and look at Lamar. Lamar gave a nod and Clyde introduced themselves "Hello shopkeep! My name is Clyde and I am the leader of our small party group called Iron Sun party and these are my comrades, Elise, Kido and Vince."
As Clyde introducing themselves, Alex lips twitched and almost laugh when he heard that the name of their party was Iron Sun but he kept it to himself. "So that's what our situation shopkeep, we really in need of supply, we need atleast 3 mana potion and 4 endure potion. Do you have them in stock?" Clyde asked. Alex bring out his salesman smile and said "yes, I have them in stock, if you don't mind, just give me a few minutes to prepare them." Alex went at the backdoor to convert some of remaining silvers to purchase an additional mana potion. After a few minutes of waiting, the backdoor open and Alex carrying a small box with the potion in it.
"Here are the potions, 4 endure potion and 3 mana potion. That would be 80 silvers each and a total of 560 Silvers." When Clyde heard the prices, he couldn't believe it since that's a wooping 20 silvers savings for each potion and they are able to get all 7 potions for only 560 silvers, this is really a steal! Clyde eyes lit up and smile excitedly "here you go shopkeep, that's 560 Silvers please count it." " No need, i trust you since Mr. Lamar introduced you to me." Alex replied and bow "thank you for your patronage, please come back again. Clyde and others smiles and nodded telling themselves that they will really go back here.
After the whole party and Lamar left, Alex goes to the front door and flip the signage to close. Then he open the online store and converted 400 silvers into store points and as for the rest of the silver, he would keep it in case of emergency just like what happen earlier. "Whew! I already have a thousand store points and around 248 silvers, this is my first time having a lot of money." Alex was very happy with the transaction as this was the first time he earned this much store points.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host who has saved a thousand store points. The online store has been upgraded, good bye." The robotic voice notified Alex. He immediately open the online and check on the goods and besides with the previous items in it, there was a mew tab at the top with a label 'Books' beside with 'Consumables'. Alex tap on the books tab and saw a single item and it was a skill book. Alex excitedly click on the skill book to check what kind of skillbook it was.
[Rumbling Thrust "N" - Developd by an unknown ranker that helps you concentrate the power at the tip of the weapon that make the earth rumble upon hit.]
As Alex reading the text on the skill book, he was a bit disappointed since the skill book is only a normal one but when he saw the price, he was happy again as the skill book is only for 1200 SP. Normally a Normal rank skill book can cause from 1500 silvers upto 3000 silvers and that is only for the Normal skill book. The reason for this price is not only due to it is a rare commodity, in general, skill book is like a diary of insights of the high ranking adventurers who are willing to share their skills.
These books are ranked base on the adventurers ranks. For Normal Rank skills, these are usually created by a Rank D adventurer. Then comes the Uncommon books which are created by Rank C adventurers, Rare books that was created by Rank B adventurers and Epic books, which was created by the Rank A adventurers. Most adventurers, specially in the lower ranks tends to sell their skill either they are in need of money or they want to leave their legacy behind after death.
As of right now, the market have a very few stocks of books thats why the prices are at all time high. The last time Alex went to the market, he saw a normal skill being price at around 2400 silvers and with that Alex was actually tempted to purchase this book. After debating to himself, he decided not to purchase the book. First and foremost, he is just a commoner with no skill pr whatsoever. He is frail infront of those adventurers so if one of the adventurer choose to be violent to rob him the book then the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Alas! I'm just an ordinary shopkeep, I guess I'll settle with the consumables for now." With that, he chose to restock his potions. He settled with five endure potions and three mana potions with the remaining store points, he decided to keep it for now. As the items appear out of thin air, Alex started arranging them on the display counter and goes to the front door and flip the signage to open once again.
After a few hours of tending to his store, two more lost soul appear at his store in need of supply, one was a young female swordsman and the other was a frail looking boy. They seem to be childhood friends base on their conversations. "Ah! To be young!" Said to himself. They purchase 2 endure potion, a mana potion and a fenix power. Alex just earned another 360 silvers and cash-in the 250 silvers and kept the remaining silvers just in case a big order came up. Then he restock the endure potion and the mana potion and this time he brought 2 fenix powder.
After arranging his product, he goes to the front door and flip the signage to close and call it a day and went at the backdoor of the store to prepare his supper.
