Chapter 724: 709 Booming Business

As a result of my opportunistic approach while players are present in the forest, the little store I made started to get crowded. The line is long and the ruckus of different players started to even get noisier as more players found my place.

"I will buy 50 pieces of the Full Restore Potion, please! And please add 10 pieces of those Fire Bombs as well!"

"Give me 10 XL Splash Health Potions, please! I can't believe that having this kind of potion would change my way of healing others, this is super helpful!"

"Can I exchange this and this? I have all the materials specified here."

I continue to serve players multiple times. I even found a few players here and there that have returned after being gone for a few hours. It was clear they hunted the materials they wanted as they returned without fixing their appearances and healing themselves.

After a few hours of talking, sales talk, trading, and much other stuff, the players finally finished all their purchases and no more players were left ready to buy. As for me, I am now carrying lots of gold just on the earnings alone. Although it's not the same amount of gold I earned that allowed me to become rich, this amount is still quite insane since I managed to hit 3.5 million gold in just selling stuff here and there.

The next thing I checked are the materials. I have much equipment I consider junk or no longer useful in my inventory so selling them was the best option and since there are still some players who will find uses for them, I traded them for materials and let them enjoy it. Most of them are level 200 accessories, weapons, or armor and they are not just the ordinary kind but the kind of items that are in the Unique tier while I also put some items that are in the Legendary tier, only a few managed to exchange some of them as the requirement I wanted to them to exchange it with are also not easy to obtain. After all, I am not just going to let them exchange good stuff with just normal stuff. I also wanted an equal exchange.

So far, there are a few rare stuff that was given to me in exchange for some legendary-tier weapons.  It would have been great if I had the Versatile Weapon eat them. Still, since it became picky nowadays, it would just waste the Legendary Weapon without me gaining any big gains aside from the new "skin" the Versatile Weapon" gains after digesting the weapon. So instead of collecting those "skins", why not use them for my own good?

With all the materials I got from the trading exchange I did, I can make more things using these stuff and some stuff that I am currently missing especially on the armor that I am making. With a few additions, I am getting closer to the same armor I used to wear back in the past.

No more players are coming in so I closed the store and put up a sign [Sold Out, come back tomorrow) despite the items, I had not even reached the critical levels but with no more customers in the meantime, closing the shop is the most notable notion here.

After selling so much stuff like that, it made me feel sore in my back.

"Perhaps fighting against the enemies around will prove to be a good workout I guess."

The monsters coming in from different areas are clearly not in their right minds. Seeing them mindlessly charging look like they are not really sentient at all and based on the number I am seeing lately, this is indeed a sign of the incoming threat of the parasites.

That also means the monster concentration would appear to be coming in this area which also means, more players. Seeing that this will be a big opportunity for me, I went out hunting ores, materials that I can grab easily, and some herbs that I also needed on making some potions as well. There are some kinds of potions that seem to be popular so perhaps I should also increase the production of that stuff as well.

While gathering stuff, Gobu and Lina were currently fighting nearby. They are focused on the enemy so they didn't notice me. While they are busy, I continue my business and started observing them a few minutes after finishing what I was meant to do there. They easily disposed of the enemies despite the disadvantage of numbers.

"Looks like you guys are training so hard these days," I then revealed myself while clapping.

The two went on a defensive stance but after seeing me, they immediately put down their guard.

"Oh, it's just you, Master. I thought it was those mindless beasts," Lina scratches her head before putting away her weapon which is a big polearm axe that I made for her.

"We apologize for being on guard of you, Master as we didn't notice your presence. The number of monsters lately made us a bit troubled with their surprise attacks so we are always on guard with everything."

"No harm done. And besides, I would even commend you two for being always on guard. Enemies come and go around here and letting off your guard against them would easily turn your situation against you so easily. No need to be sorry about it."

I then looked at the corpses of the monsters they are killing. Most of them are insect monsters but I also saw a few beasts like Wild Pigs and some Carnivorous Rabbits as well on the pile of corpses. Based on their corpses, I can see that they are indeed infected by those brain-controlling Parasite monsters.

They are dangerous but they don't attach themselves to humans and humanoid monsters. Most of the time, they have a particular liking for beasts and insectoid monsters, but still, it does get me a little bit worried if they attach themselves to players as well. It's a control parasite and it burrows through its hosts which makes them infected.

I know some methods of how to remove them but I am not sure if it works on humans as well. But there is going to be that possibility as well so perhaps I should also create that stuff in case things gets into the worst possible situation.

"You guys should rest for the day. Even if you guys are already high-leveled, fighting endlessly without rest would just ruin your body, just go ahead and rest. Let's go back to the cabin, shall we?"

The two didn't decline and left with me. As for the monsters, Lina immediately set them ablaze. Aside from the drops that drop naturally, the items that can only be received if salvaged from the monster corpses do not work much as it was from an "infected" monster, the value of it immediately goes to zero so they are not worth salvaging. It's a bit of a waste but that's really how it is so I can't really complain.

Thankfully, not all of the stuff that was killed was infected and Lina has already salvaged their materials so we still got something out of them.

As we returned, there are still lots of players staying near my cabin. It's a little hub for players so it ended up quite a good spot for relaxing players. I even spotted some of the players who bought potions with me a while ago as well.

"Hey, sir wolf-head! Are you going to reopen tomorrow as well?" the female paladin asked.

"I plan to. Seeing how busy things are in these parts, it is a good idea to maximize the business profit here as well."

"Indeed! And seeing how you are monopolizing the area, it's also quite good for your pockets as well. Besides, your stuff is top quality and the equipment you allowed us to exchange for materials are all quite rare, it's not a big deal, and it's a big steal for us who are short on money. Not only do we have less time wasted going back to the city to buy potions, but we can also hold out for our harvest and then have a massive sell-off once we get back to the city after a day, it's a big efficiency on our time as well," the necromancer who was surprisingly part of the female paladin also added.

"Good to know that you guys liked my products. But please I will remind you that I will not remain here forever. I will close up shop once the event that is happening here is over, so if you guys are hoping to buy more of my potions or wanted to exchange stuff once I am done here, perhaps you can look for me in the Resurgia Continent. I usually stay there."

"Thanks for telling us that! We will! And thank you very much for the nice items you sell!" the female paladin smiled.

We returned after exchanging a few more words with them and entered the cabin. Tomorrow is another brand new day to sell stuff again. And I think the war is almost here as well.
