Rem arrived at the jewelry shop after a few minutes of walking. She looked at the title of the shop.
[Royal Jewelry Shop]
[Rare Jewelry With The Best Quality!]
'This place looks fancy.' Rem was about to enter the shop when she noticed a sign next to the door.
[The commoners and beggars are not welcomed here.]
'I can already tell how the owner is like just by looking at this sign.' Rem thought, entering the shop anyway.
The shop was huge and fancy. Only a few people were in this shop.
"Do you sell magic stones here?" Rem asked the person behind the counter.
"No, we don't. Go, go." The man said, waving his hand rudely for Rem to leave.
{He does sell magic stones. They're on that shelf to the right.}
'He's rude... Lying right in front of my face??!' Rem sighed.
"Where's your manager? I want to speak to your manager this instant." Rem demanded.
"What? Did you not see the sign? This place isn't for the poor." The man said sternly.
"Yes, I know. I'm not blind." Rem smiled.
"Then get out!!!" The man yelled, pointing at the door.
The yelling attracted everyone's attention in the shop.
"What's going on?"
"Why is he yelling?"
"Who is that person wearing a black cloak?"
'How troublesome. This is giving me a headache. Why do I have to deal with this again..?'
"What's going on??!" A chubby man wearing a black and white suit seemed unpleased.
"S-Sir! This... This person wearing rags wants to buy magic stones! I was only telling him to get out!" The man behind the counter tried to explain what was going on.
"Is this how you treat your customers?" Rem asked.
The chubby man looked at Rem from head to toe.
"No, of course not. However, please prove to me that you have enough money to buy a magic stone." The chubby man said.
Rem threw a huge bag of gold on the counter table. The man smiled and looked at the gold closely to see if it was fake.
"Good, good. I apologize on behalf of this brainless worker of mine." The chubby man glared at the man behind the counter.
"Please follow me. The magic stones are this way." The chubby man guided Rem to the right side of the shop.
"These are all the magic stones we have." The shop owner pointed to the rows of magic stones behind the cases.
"They're already polished so it will cost a little more." The shop owner stated.
Rem looked at the magic stones. They were all the size of a quarter.
'002, which ones are the wind, water, ice, and fire magic stones?'
{The green one is wind. The navy blue is water while the cyan-colored one is ice. finally, the red one is fire.}
'What are their prices? Their prices should differ based on their size.'
{You are correct. This is the chart.}
[Magic Stone Size Prices]
[All magic stones of the same size would cost the same. The element doesn't matter.]
[Small (size of a copper coin): 200-300 Gold]
[Medium (size of a gold coin): 500-1,000 Gold]
[Large (size of a fist): 5,000-10,000 Gold]
'Hm... I need to buy 4 medium-sized magic stones. If I assume they are all 1,000 gold coins it'll cost me 4,000 gold coins. I don't have enough... I only have about 2,000 gold coins.'
{You can exchange the system's shop's currency to this world's currency.}
'Wait... You can do that??? Since when?'
{Since you became level 50.}
'From now on, tell me everything new you can do after you update, alright?'
{Well, before you didn't ask.}
'Seriously? I don't think these things need me to ask you..!'
{Okay, okay.}
'Where is it?'
{There's literally an icon at the bottom right...}
'Oh, I see.' Rem pressed the icon.
[Total Uken: 62,418]
[ --> ]
[ --> N/A]
{To see how much money you get from exchanging, press the icon on the top right in the exchange section.}
'Got it.'
[1 Uken = 5 Copper]
[2 Uken = 1 Silver]
[4 Uken = 1 Gold]
[8 Uken = 1 Platinum]
'Um... I have quite a lot of Uken. Doesn't that mean I'm rich???'
{No.}
'Right... The stuff in the system's shop is very expensive after all.'
[Anyways, as you get stronger, there may be more stuff for you to exchange. For now, you can only exchange Uken for copper, silver, gold, or platinum. Of course, you can exchange copper, silver, gold, or platinum for our shop's currency, Uken, as well.}
'Okay... I'll just exchange Uken for gold.'
[Total Uken: 62,418]
[
[<30,000> --> 7,500]
'There. This amount is good enough.'
{Would You Like To Exchange 30,000 Uken for 7,500 Gold?}
[Yes/No]
{Exchange Successful!}
Rem looked in her inventory.
'So all the gold are in here after being exchanged.'
Rem pointed at the wind, water, ice, and fire magic stones.
"I would like to buy these." Rem told the shop owner.
"Alright. Please show me how much money you have right now. I want to make sure you have enough money to buy them." The shop owner stated.
Rem took 5,000 gold from her inventory. Many people who saw Rem pull this much gold out of nowhere were surprised.
"How did he do that?"
"What just happened..?"
"Is that even possible?"
The shop owner had a huge smile on his face. He rubbed both of his hands together and politely asked everyone in the shop to leave. After everyone left, the only ones in the shop were Rem, the shop owner, and the person behind the counter.
"Men! Come out this instant and seize him!!!"
'His brain must not be functioning properly...' Rem sighed as 5 men surrounded her.
The men were holding steel bats. They were tall and muscular.
"Are you going to sell me the magic stones or not..?" Rem asked, already knowing what he would say.
"Why should I? How did you even get this much money? You must have stolen them somewhere. Well, it doesn't matter since you're going to die right here, right now."
「How dare they act like that to my master! Please, use me to kill them..!」
'Alright. If you insist... I must warn you, Cynric. You're going to get some blood on you.'
「That is fine.」
"Are you sure you want to mess with me?" Rem asked, tilting her head slightly.
"How can you defeat 5 of my men? Tsk... Animals like you should all just die when I tell you to! Kill him already!" The shop owner yelled, pointing at Rem.
'Is he trying to provoke me..? If he is, he had succeeded..!' Rem thought in anger, trying to control herself.
Rem grabbed the small blade in her pocket. She thought about the blade turning larger. After a few seconds, the small blade shifted into a medium-sized dagger. The dagger emitted a strong aura. This aura and Rem's killing intent made the men tremble in fear.
"I hate people like you..!" Rem dashed towards the men and using one swift motion, all five of the men's heads flew off.
Rem then killed the person behind the counter. She didn't want any onlookers.
"P-Please! Please just s-spare me! I'll give you anything! Just plea-" The shop owner's head flew off of his head.
There was blood everywhere.
'Ahh... This mess looks hard to clean. Oh, well. I'll get rid of the bodies. Now that they're taken care of, I'll take these 4 magic stones. The rest I'll leave them here. I don't need them.'
{Shouldn't you take everything to this shop too? You can make them think it's a robbery.}
「Take them! It's stupid but they still tried to kill you!」
'Fine, fine. I'll take them... Maybe I can sell these at an auction.' Rem thought, getting rid of the bodies by using her shadow magic.
Rem's magic made the bodies perish but the floor and walls remained stained with blood.
'Why do I feel like a robber?'
「This isn't stealing since all this stuff doesn't have an owner since the real one is gone.」
'True.' Rem took everything in the shop and exited through the back door.
'The final thing I have to do is get these stones on the weapons.'
Rem casually walked towards the blacksmith shop.
