'First, Channel 1....'
After increasing the number of items I could list on the exchange to 10, I listed necessary items for the first 9 slots.
After uploading essentials like rice, flour, beans, salt, and fabric, I uploaded an elixir from Channel 7 for the last one.
[Heart of Urus]
Item Description: A type of elixir that has the effect of increasing stamina.
Sale Price: 150,000 points.
It was a Heart of Urus, which supposedly increases stamina, but the actual price was 100,000 points.
I listed it for 150,000 points, and since the price was the price, I figured it would have at least some effect.
'Even so, it won't sell right away.'
It was closer to a signal to collect points, letting them know that things like this existed on the exchange.
'Next, Channel 2 is...... skipping.'
Channel 2 was already in the process of continuously listing 30 items.
Not only that, but I was also delivering items that people had ordered through the tavern, so I figured that was enough.
'Channel 3 is easy.'
The items I had previously listed on Channel 3 were three types: triangle kimbap, cup ramen, and water.
In addition to these, I listed bread, milk, tissues, and so on, and then uploaded the most important items: Ability Orbs, Awakening Stones, and Bloodstones.
[Low-grade Awakening Stone]
Sale Price: 10,000 points.
[Mid-grade Awakening Stone]
Sale Price: 50,000 points.
[Bloodstone]
Sale Price: 40 points.
[Ability Orb (Infection Cure LV30).]
Item Description: An orb that allows you to use A-rank Infection Cure at level 30. Can be used a total of two times. Also, ordinary people can use it.
Sale Price: 40,000 points.
'Is it a bit expensive?'
After listing it, I did think it was expensive, but it wouldn't be a problem if it didn't sell.
'Because I or the Hero Party can just eat it and use it to increase our success rate.'
Thinking that, I left it as is and moved on to Channel 4.
I was planning to list Awakening Stones and Bloodstones on Channel 4 as well, but just in case, I decided to ask Dr. Know-it-all.
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Dr. Know-it-all-nim. I'm thinking of listing Awakening Stones and Bloodstones on Channel 4. What do you think?〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：......? Do you have enough stock to sell on Channel 4?〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Yes. I think it's possible because of a new ability I obtained.〉
After giving that answer, I explained the [Item Registration] function.
Dr. Know-it-all listened to my explanation silently, and soon showed an impressed reaction.
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Item Registration. It seems like you get an absurd ability every time I look.〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：I think I'll get a few more in the future.〉
It was a certainty that I would get a few more as my Modern Item Purchase level increased.
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Anyway, I get what you mean. Are you thinking of selling High-grade Awakening Orbs too?〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：I haven't obtained them yet, so I can't sell them, but I plan to if I get them later.〉
Then, Dr. Know-it-all voiced an opposing opinion.
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Don't sell High-grade Awakening Stones. Only sell Mid-grade and Low-grade. Then it's fine to sell them on Channel 4.〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：You mean only sell Mid-grade and Low-grade?〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：If you sell even the High-grade ones, many people will be displeased. High-grade ones should only be sold to that person.〉
I didn't know the details, but it seemed like problems would arise if I sold even High-grade Awakening Stones.
I had never suffered a loss by not listening to Dr. Know-it-all so far, so I decided to comply quietly.
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Yes. Then I'll sell them excluding the High-grade ones.〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Good thinking. And if you have any special items, tell me. I'll introduce you to someone.〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：I will. Oh, will Awakening Stones sell well if I list them on Channel 4?〉
The reason I was listing items on the exchange for all channels right now was to earn points.
I was trying it on Channel 4 especially because I thought Awakening Stones and Bloodstones would sell well, but I was also curious about Dr. Know-it-all's opinion.
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Do you need points by any chance?〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：I have to purchase the items I use separately.〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：They will sell well. And there's something else that will really sell well, isn't there.〉
Something that will really sell well?
'Ah.'
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Bug Extermination Magic?〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Correct. I'll contact the military and ask them to return it for a moment. You can register the item and sell that.〉
As Dr. Know-it-all said, Channel 4 was at war with bugs, so it was clear that if I listed Bug Extermination Magic, it would sell well.
"......."
However, thinking about it for a moment, the Bug Extermination Magic I gave to Dr. Know-it-all before had one problem.
'That Bug Extermination Magic had an elixir in it.'
Since an elixir was used, there was a high possibility that the price would be measured absurdly high.
No matter that it had become a magic item that could be used 200 times, if the price was in the hundreds of thousands, it would be difficult to sell itself.
'It might be better to put the one-time magic into a glass marble like before.'
Thinking that, I informed Dr. Know-it-all as well.
〈Survivor★(2ch)：The magic item I gave you before might be absurdly expensive. Instead, I'll sell them in glass marble form at first.〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Is the price expensive?〉
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Yes. A Channel 7 elixir went into it. It might be over 100,000 points.〉
〈Dr. Know-it-all☆*(4ch)：Understood. Then sell them as glass marbles.〉
After answering that I understood, I ended the 1:1 conversation and asked Rubyel.
"Rubyel-ssi. Please make one of those Bug Extermination Magics we made before."
"You're going to register and sell that?"
"Yes. I think it would be better to do that."
"Alright."
Rubyel readily agreed and told me what to be careful about instead.
"More than that, you know, right? That it only lasts for 2 hours if you make it like before."
"It should be fine until they purchase it directly."
But it seemed like it wouldn't be bad to experiment in advance.
When I handed the glass marble to Rubyel like that, Rubyel simply imbued it with Bug Extermination Magic.
'Now if I register this.......'
[Item Name: Bug Extermination Magic Orb.]
[Item Price: 120 points.]
The glass marble was 6 points, but since magic was added, it increased by over 100 points.
However, thinking that this was a price worth purchasing, I listed it privately and waited.
'I'll know if I purchase and use it in 2~3 hours.'
And it felt a bit lacking to only list Awakening Stones, Bloodstones, and Bug Extermination Magic on Channel 4.
Since I had gone to the trouble of deciding to list Awakening Stones and Bloodstones, I thought it would be good to list Ability Orbs on Channel 4 as well.
'Ability Orbs on Channel 4.......'
Since they are at war with bugs, attack abilities seemed okay, but.
'Attack abilities are excluded because there is Bug Extermination Magic.'
What remained were defense, support, and recovery types, and I chose recovery magic among them.
'Because recovery types can be used in daily life too.'
Also, the fact that there was no room for abuse played a part.
Anyway, having made the decision, this time I contacted the Assault Captain and asked.
〈Survivor★(2ch)：Assault Captain-nim. I'll give you two Ability Orbs, so please imbue them with Infinite Ammo and Wound Healing abilities.〉
〈Assault Captain*(3ch)：Yes! Understood!〉
The Assault Captain readily agreed, and not long after, he imbued the two abilities.
[Item Name: Ability Orb (Infinite Ammo LV30).]
[Item Price: 30,000 points.]
[Item Name: Ability Orb (Wound Healing LV30).]
[Item Price: 27,000 points.]
For reference, Infinite Ammo is A-rank. Wound Healing is B-rank.
'So the price is unconditionally adjusted according to the rank.'
Having learned a new fact, I purchased only the Wound Healing orb and listed it on the Channel 4 exchange.
Channel 4 didn't need food or daily necessities, so I only listed Awakening Stones, Bloodstones, and Ability Orbs.
'And if I add Bug Extermination Magic to this, that's it.'
Next, I moved on to Channel 5, and after thinking for a moment, I decided to exclude it just like Channel 7.
'Because the witches on Channel 5 are cooperating with me entirely.'
I didn't want to force points on such witches.
Besides, they were living well even now without my Modern Item Purchase.
'The last one is Channel 6, but.......'
Channel 6 was still selling well, so I ended it by just increasing the variety of items a bit more.
It was mostly food and daily necessities, but perhaps because the price was cheap, they were selling out at a fairly fast speed.
'Anyway, I've prepared to some extent, so if I wait, there will be a reaction.'
I was especially looking forward to Channel 3 and Channel 4.
I couldn't expect much from Channels 1~2 yet, and I skipped Channel 5, so in reality, the only remaining channels were 3~4.
'So the main sources of income are Channels 3~4 and 6.'
While I was thinking that I had to earn as many points as possible from these three channels.
Ding~! Ding~!
The alarm sound indicating that items had been sold on the exchange began to be heard.
Channel 3.
[Huh? The Administrator listed Bloodstones on the exchange!]
As soon as someone posted that on the Gallery, some people bought up the Bloodstones at a terrifying speed.
Since Bloodstones were the only means to increase ability levels, it was a situation where no matter how many there were, it was insufficient.
[Wow. There were 10,000 Bloodstones listed, but they all sold out in an instant.]
But no sooner had the 10,000 sold out than 20,000 were listed this time.
[↓Who else would it be. It's the Integrated Channel Administrator-nim.]
[What? Who is selling 20,000 of them?]
Following that, someone else discovered an Ability Orb while checking the items listed on the exchange.
[Title: The Administrator listed something strange? Ability Orb?]
Does anyone know what an Ability Orb is?
-The item description is written there. It's an orb that allows you to use an ability.
-A-rank level 30 Infection Cure? But even ordinary people can use it.
-But is this true?
-Whether it's true or not is secondary, but isn't it too expensive?
-Infection Cure...... It would be reassuring to have one.
-What's good about Infection Cure being level 30?
└The time you can treat it when bitten increases.
└If it's level 30, you can survive if you treat it within at least 5 hours.
└If it's level 1, how many minutes is it?
└You have to treat it within 10 minutes.
└F*ck, then I absolutely have to have one.
Such posts and comments continued, and some large groups also bought up the Ability Orbs.
Usually, Infection Cure had a limit on the number of times it could be used per day, so they were buying it for emergencies.
[It's 40,000 points, but it's selling out in an instant.]
[Why do you all have so many points?]
And surprisingly, no sooner had the Ability Orbs sold out than they were listed again.
[Title: What on earth is the Administrator's identity?]
Does items get registered automatically when you become an Administrator?
The number of Bloodstones sold just now is well over 20,000, which is not an amount an individual can have.
-Ah, I don't know about that. I just wish they would lower the price.
-They sell Awakening Stones too, but this is too expensive.
-But why do they only sell Low-grade and Mid-grade? It would be good if they sold High-grade too.
└Why? Why don't you ask them to sell Top-grade too? Hahaha
└It would be good if they sold Top-grade too.
-Administrator-nim! The Ability Orbs are too expensive! Please lower the price!
└But really, the Ability Orbs are too expensive.
└I don't think average people would even dare to purchase them.
Channel 4.
[Crazy! Something called an Awakening Stone has been listed on the exchange!]
Awakening Stones, which were said to be too expensive on Channel 3, were gaining tremendous popularity on Channel 4.
Originally, the people on Channel 4 didn't know what Awakening Stones were, but the Survivor had kindly written the explanation.
[Low-grade Awakening Stone]
Item Description: An Awakening Stone that grants Channel 3 abilities if swallowed. Low-grade can obtain E~F rank abilities.
Sale Price: 10,000 points.
[Title: Selling credits! 10,000 points for 10,000 credits!]
Please give me a 1:1 trade immediately!
-They're determined to get a free ride in life.
-Selling 1,000 points. Price is 10,000 credits.
└I'll buy it. Contact me.
-But if you buy an Awakening Stone, don't you have to buy Bloodstones too?
-They say Bloodstones increase ability levels. Then you have to buy them, right?
[Title: Uh-huh? Someone is buying up Awakening Stones and Bloodstones like crazy.]
-It's obviously the military or a corporation.
-They have a lot of points too. What did they do?
└I'm an insider. They are currently putting expensive items into point collection ㅋㅋㅋ
└Point collection? F*ck, what a waste.
-How can people without points live in sorrow.
[Title: Golden King (GK) is buying up points.]
The price is 1,000 points for 10,000 credits.
Please initiate a 1:1 trade with the employees who commented below, including me.
-F*ck, even large corporations have stepped up.
Like that, for the time being, the items of each channel were selling out at a terrifying speed according to the Survivor's will.
