Preparing Goods

<Survivor★(2ch): Elisicia-nim. I've upgraded the Ability Orb to A-rank. Can we imbue it with a decent ability?>

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): I can certainly do that for you. But aren't you going to go with Infinite Ammo for the first one?>

<Survivor★(2ch): I do plan on adding Infinite Ammo. But it's not urgent.>

In reality, there was no need for Infinite Ammo right now.

The monsters that appeared in the labyrinth died with a simple ssuk from the Hero Party.

'I suppose Infinite Ammo will be used when the monsters get a bit stronger...'

Or perhaps when fighting the monsters that have occupied the surface.

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): I understand what you mean. Anyway, since you said it's A-rank, several abilities come to mind.>

Following that, Ice Queen told me about the Awakener abilities within her group.

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): If Survivor-nim uses a gun, how about [Combat Doll]?>

<Survivor★(2ch): Combat Doll?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): Yes. It's an ability that summons a human-like doll, and it understands most commands.>

For some reason, it sounded like she was telling me not to step up myself but to put the Combat Doll in front to fight.

It certainly seemed safe if I taught the Combat Doll the Taehwa 9-Style and ordered it to shoot.

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): If you want to be a bit more greedy, it would be helpful if you summoned it after you've sufficiently mastered marksmanship.>

<Survivor★(2ch): Marksmanship?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): It's a 'Combat' doll, after all. It's summoned in a state where it has learned the combat abilities of the summoner.>

"......."

I listened to Ice Queen's words for a moment, and my brain stopped.

'What did she just say?'

<Survivor★(2ch): It learns combat abilities?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): Yes.>

<Survivor★(2ch): Then if I give this to the Hero-nim, that would mean there would be two Heroes?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): It probably wouldn't be like that.>

I said that with rising anticipation, but Ice Queen denied it, saying that wasn't the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠case.

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): It learns the techniques ingrained in the body, but there's a high possibility it won't be able to use the unique power of Channel 2.>

At the mention of the unique power of Channel 2, I thought of mana.

So, it seemed like if Elisicia summoned a Combat Doll, it could copy her swordsmanship but not her mana.

'True. It wouldn't make sense for it to copy Elisicia's combat abilities exactly.'

If that were possible, the labyrinth would basically already be conquered.

If I just gave Veronica 100 orbs and told her to use them, the number of Semi-Transcendentals would increase to 100.

'Wait, now that each orb can be used twice...'

That would be 200 Semi-Transcendentals.

'Plus, Channel 1 would be solved in an instant.'

I thought if I gave a large number of orbs to Namgung Jin or the Heavenly Demon in Channel 1, they would wipe out the Old Gods or whatever in no time.

<Survivor★(2ch): I understand. That's why you mentioned marksmanship.>

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): Yes. I checked spear techniques and archery as well, but the most efficient one was the gun.>

Compared to spear techniques or archery, it was only natural that the gun was more efficient.

However, rather than using a Combat Doll, I felt it would be better to get an android from Channel 4.

<Survivor★(2ch): Are there no other abilities besides the Combat Doll?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): Is it not very appealing to Survivor-nim?>

<Survivor★(2ch): It just doesn't appeal to me that much.>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): That's a shame. I thought it would be helpful if you could summon 29 Combat Dolls.>

"......?"

<Survivor★(2ch): 29 of them? It summons 29 Combat Dolls?>

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): Yes. It's an A-rank ability, after all; there's no way it would only have combat ability learning.>

If it's 29, that changes things.......

<Survivor★(2ch): But why 29?>

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): It's level 29. It hasn't reached level 30 yet.>

<Survivor★(2ch): Uh... then please tell me again when it's level 30.>

The Ability Orb had risen to level 30, but that meant it could hold up to level 30.

Since a level 29 ability would naturally be imbued as a level 29 ability, I decided to wait a little longer and get it at level 30.

'Plus, when it hits level 30, another ability specialization will likely appear.'

This was a decision I made because I didn't need the Combat Doll right this second.

<Survivor★(2ch): Are there no other abilities?>

Afterward, Ice Queen mentioned other abilities, but none of them were particularly appealing by my standards.

There was no ability that could match the Taehwa 9-Style for attack, and for recovery, there was Aila (Saintess).

'The only things left are defense and support.'

So, what I decided on was [Hardened Body].

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): Hardened Body. Literally, your body becomes hard. It's upgraded to B-rank this time, and once it hits level 30, your physical abilities will also increase by a certain amount.>

<Survivor★(2ch): I think this is good for me to use. Ah, by any chance, do you know what abilities the people in Channel 3 need?>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): The people here? Well, of course, it's abilities for treating injuries, illnesses, and infections, and things like scarecrows for provocation.>

I understood injuries, illnesses, and infection treatment.

I understood the last one, the provocation scarecrow, a little bit too.

'It's a perfect ability for running away from zombies, though.'

I thought it might be better to just kill the zombies, but then I remembered that Channel 3 also had mutant zombies.

'Even 2nd or 3rd stage mutant zombies would be hard for ordinary people to deal with.'

Thinking about that, it might be better to throw a provocation scarecrow and run away.

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): Are you thinking of imbuing the Ability Orb with an ability and putting it on the exchange?>

<Survivor★(2ch): Yes. I was thinking about doing that.>

<Ice Queen☆(3ch): If that's your purpose, Infection Treatment would be the best.>

<Survivor★(2ch): By Infection Treatment, you mean the treatment for when you've been bitten by a zombie, right?>

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): That's right. And Infection Treatment is a fairly rare ability.>

It was the first time I learned that Infection Treatment was a rare ability.

<Ice Queen☆*(3ch): There are probably fewer than 10 people in Korea who have it. I guarantee it will sell very well if you sell that ability.>

Ice Queen said Infection Treatment would sell well, but I thought differently.

Infection Treatment might sell well if it were around 1,000 to 2,000 points, but not at 10,000 to 20,000 points.

'Still, just in case, should I make about three and list them?'

<Survivor★(2ch): Then please imbue it with Infection Treatment. Ah, I'll give you an Ability Orb too, Ice Queen-nim.>

After that, I registered the Ability Orb imbued with Infection Treatment as a product and checked the measured price.

[Product Name: Ability Orb (Infection Treatment LV30).]

[Product Price: 30,000 points.]

'It sure is expensive.'

I felt it would only be worth trading if I could sell it for at least 35,000 points.

Separately from that, I also registered the Mana Potion I received from Channel 5 to see how much it was worth.

[Product Name: Mana Potion.]

[Product Price: 20,000 points.]

'Should I call it cheap?'

Compared to the Ability Orb, the Mana Potion felt generally cheap.

Of course, in reality, 20,000 points was an enormous price.

'Because it would be rare for people in Channels 2-3 to be able to collect 20,000 points.'

Thinking that, I next checked my inventory and registered the Awakening Stones and Bloodstones as well.

[Product Name: Low-grade Awakening Stone.]

[Product Price: 5,000 points.]

[Product Name: Mid-grade Awakening Stone.]

[Product Price: ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠25,000 points.]

[Product Name: Bloodstone.]

[Product Price: 25 points.]

'Why is this so expensive?'

Currently, I am buying Low-grade Awakening Stones from people in Channel 3 for 1,000 points. Mid-grade Awakening Stones are being bought for 3,000 points.

'I'm also buying Bloodstones for 20 points each.'

At least the Bloodstone was a price I could understand.

'Or is this the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠original price?'

Logically, the Product Registration ability wouldn't be scamming me, so this was likely the normal price.

Besides, even though the Low-grade Awakening Stone is E~F rank, it counts as gaining a superpower, so it was considered a reasonable price.

'Wait? If I sell these to Channel 4...?'

Wouldn't I earn an enormous amount of points, like the points I'm earning in Channel 6 right now?

'I have a feeling that might be the case.'

However, since I would be releasing superpowers into Channel 4, I thought it would be better to ask Mr. Know-It-All first.

Before that, intending to finish the product registration first, I asked Yoo Hyun-min-hyung in Channel 7 for the Heart of Raistal.

<Survivor★(2ch): Yoo Hyun-min-hyung. By any chance, could you get me one Heart of Raistal?>

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): Hm? What do you mean by asking me to get just one?>

<Survivor★(2ch): I recently obtained an ability called Product Registration.>

I told him about the Product Registration I had just obtained.

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): Oh? So you mean you can buy any item as long as you pay the points?>

<Survivor★(2ch): That's right.>

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): That's an incredible ability. You should register all the elixirs I gave you.>

<Survivor★(2ch): Of course I should. Anyway, that's why I need the Heart of Raistal.>

Registering the elixirs is good, but the most important thing was the Heart of Raistal.

Currently, on Yoo Hyun-min-hyung's advice, I wasn't consuming any elixirs other than the Heart of Raistal.

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): I'll give it to you now. I've gathered quite a few elixirs while collecting points at the Shelter of Meeting this time.>

<Survivor★(2ch): Oh, really?>

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): I think I'll be able to collect all the points within a few days, too.>

Yoo Hyun-min-hyung was saying he would collect 1.5 million points in just a few days.

<Survivor★(2ch): That's an incredible speed.>

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): It's because the kitten upstairs is holed up in its house and won't come out.>

A kitten?

'Uh... he must be talking about the owner of the monster claw I saved earlier, right?'

Interpreting it, it seemed like the Transcendent-class Monster wasn't coming out of its house after one of its claws was broken.

It seemed like Yoo Hyun-min-hyung was openly running around everywhere without the Transcendent-class Monster's interference, beating up the rest of the monsters.

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): I'll collect the points and give them to you later. For now, just take the elixir.>

[Transaction completed.]

<Survivor★(2ch): Thank you, hyung.>

<Want to Regress☆(7ch): Don't mention it. You just have to help me escape from here later.>

<Survivor★(2ch): They said it would be possible once the Modern Item Purchase level goes up, so please wait a little longer.>

I answered, but I still didn't know what the relationship was between Modern Item Purchase and Dimensional Travel.

However, looking at the Product Registration I obtained this time, it seemed like it was gradually moving away from the standard of 'modern items'.

'Since Modern Item Purchase is level 6 now.'

I thought maybe a feature related to Dimensional Travel would appear at level 8 or 9? Or maybe level 10.

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): Modern Item Purchase?>

'Come to think of it, have I never told Yoo Hyun-min-hyung about it?'

<Survivor★(2ch): Right after I became the Integrated Channel Manager, I received a question, and I asked about Dimensional Travel. I heard there that I should raise the Modern Item Purchase level.>

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): What does Modern Item Purchase have to do with Dimensional Travel?>

<Survivor★(2ch): Wouldn't we know if we raise the level? And it's not a bad thing since it means another method regarding Dimensional Travel has appeared.>

Previously, Yoo Hyun-min-hyung must have been looking forward to the research of the witches in Channel 5.

But since another method had appeared this time, it was all for the better; there was nothing bad about it at all.

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): You're certainly right, there's nothing bad about it. No, it's actually better. Then how do you raise the Modern Item Purchase level?>

Perhaps because it was related to Dimensional Travel again, Yoo Hyun-min-hyung also showed an active interest.

<Survivor★(2ch): You just have to keep buying and selling items like you do now. The speed will probably gradually increase with Product Registration.>

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): Are you going to sell even the elixirs I gave you through Product Registration?>

<Survivor★(2ch): I think I'll have to decide after seeing the price. It seems like this looks only at the value, not the scarcity of the item.>

This was purely my guess, but it was quite possible.

If scarcity were added, there was a possibility that the Heart of Raistal couldn't be purchased.

'Also, thinking about the prices of the Awakening Stones and Bloodstones, it seems right that only the value is reflected.'

<Want to Regress☆*(7ch): Item value... Alright, I understand. I'll look for some items here that could be worth money too.>

Yoo Hyun-min-hyung said that with a slightly impatient feeling and immediately ended the 1:1 conversation.

"......."

Does he want to escape from Channel 7 as soon as possible?

'But if Yoo Hyun-min-hyung escapes from Channel 7...'

A new Channel 7 will be established, right?

I briefly thought about the world that would be newly established, but soon put that thought aside and registered the elixir I ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠received from Yoo Hyun-min-hyung.

The elixirs had piled up one by one, and now there were about 30 types, and among those elixirs, I looked at the most important one, the Heart of Raistal.

[Product Name: Heart of Raistal.]

[Product Price: 250,000 points.]

'It's expensive. No, considering the original price, is it ridiculously cheap?'

I could tell that it was indeed a price that excluded scarcity.

'Anyway, it seems like I've gathered enough products with this.'

I prepared to operate a full-scale exchange targeting Channels 1~6.
