January 29, 2018.
Today, Rey was taking day off the school. He lied about being sick. He already informs Bella not to tell the parents so that the parents would not worried. Bella was intended to come to his house treating him, but Rey rejected it. He said that it was unnecessary because he just had a little flu, not a big deal.
Rey was faking his condition because today was the day Merchant Ji arrived. He had stockpiled several thousand bags of salt and sugar for this day. Rey instantly went for the Green Planet after settling his problem on Earth.

Rey opens his eyes. He excitedly run to the wooden door and walk out from it. The village was the same as usual, peaceful. Not long after, Merchant Ji carriage arrived in the Luo Village. Rey was waiting for Ji Xia to come out, but he could not saw him. Ji Xia was in Red City, establish his new branch there and introducing his new products. The high quality of salt and sugar. Rey was oblivious about any of it.
Rey was still waiting for Ji Xia, until someone from Merchant Ji approach him. "Good day, Mr. Harry." The old man greeted respectfully. "Good day. Uhm.. President Ji?" "I am sorry, but he could not come. He was in the Red City, establishing new branch there." "I see." Rey nodded in understanding. "President Ji told me to replace him doing the business with you, today. By the way, my name is Su Tian, one of the elder in Merchant Ji Trading company." The old man continued while making his introduction. "Oh, Elder Su, it's nice to meet you."
"Hehe, let's straight to the business, Mr. Harry." Elder Su chuckled a little and suddenly suggested. "Alright, follow me please." Rey guided the Elder to his wooden house. The moment the Elder stepped to the house because he noticed thousand bags of salt and sugar in a corner. Rey had moved all of the guns' boxes from his wooden house to his warehouse's basement. So, Elder Su could not see any gun boxes.
Rey was too lazy to move the bags of salt and sugar to the warehouse. 'Since Merchant Ji would come here anyway, these bags would be brought by themselves. So, I don't need to do this meaningless thing.' Rey thought to himself.
Elder Su was in his state of shock because the bags in front of him was just too much. Ji Xia has instructed him to buy every bag of salt and sugar for 6 gold. There are at least 3000 bags in front of him, that would be 18000 gold! This amount was too much for him, he did not bring enough money.
Elder Su just bringing 15000 gold with him today, but he could not give all the gold to Rey. After all, he would need money for buying the beast skin of Luo Village as well as other villages. Elder Su told his subordinate to ship the bags as well as count them all.
The total of bags combined was 3200, so Elder Su should pay Rey 19200 gold. "Mr. Harry to be honest, I didn't bring enough money now. How about I gave you the 10.200 gold first, I will pay the rest tomorrow?" Elder Su suggested embarrassedly. Ji Xia had told him to bring at least 20.000 gold, but he only brings 15.000 with him. He never thought that his 15.000 were not enough to buy Rey's goods. Even if he brings 20.000 gold as Ji Xia suggested, he still could not pay Rey in full. After all he still need the gold to buy the beast skin from the villagers.
"Its okay, just pay the rest the next week." "Alright." Elder Su was relieved, but Rey suddenly remembered something. "Uhm, Elder Su. Can you do me a favor." "Oh, what is it?" "If you by any chance found some 1000 years old ginseng, then.." "I understand, Mr. Rey." The two laughed together.
The two concluded the trade. Rey got 10.000 gold. Combined with his previous gold, he had 10.500 gold in total. He was quite rich. Even the son of Blue Town Lord was 'poorer' than Rey. If he wanted to, he could start a little trading company in Blue Town.
After the trading company left. Rey counted the gold and beast cores in his possession. 10.300 gold and 25 beast cores. Two level 3 dark elemental beast cores, five level 2 dark elemental beast cores, one level 2 fire elemental beast cores, two level 2 water elemental beast cores, and 14 level 1 beast cores. Most of the level 1 beast cores does not had any elements in it. So, level one beast cores were more useful to a warrior rather than a mage.

Next day, Rey went to Z building after the school. He went straight to the Mr. V's room. Mr. V let Rey come in and sit down with his terrifying smile. Rey has been used to Mr. V's smile. After sitting down, Rey immediately said.
"I want to have a big order!" "How big it is?" Mr. V frowned. "I want to have 1000 of desert eagle with 200.000 of ammo, 1500 of Ak 47 with 400.000 of ammo, 500 sniper rifle 150.000 of ammo, and if possible 50 of M3EI with 1000 missiles." Rey stated. Hearing this, Mr. V was furious. He did not expect that Rey would asking this much.
"Are you pulling off my leg, brat?" Mr. V asked Rey coldly. His face was terrifying. "Mr. V I would give you this for the order." Rey placed the cores he possessed in the table which made Mr. V startled to the core. '2 level 3 dark elemental beast cores!!!' Mr. V does not really care about other cores, because a single of level 3 dark elemental beast cores would be priced higher than the rest of the cores.
"Is it not enough, Mr. V? If that is not enough, I would pay you with money." Rey suddenly asked and wake Mr. V up from his daze. Mr. V sighed looking at the young man in front of him.
"This is not about money. Brat, the guns were not as expensive as you think. It was easy to get the guns, but the hardest part is making it legal! Making 25 guns became legal is easy, but thousands of it, those old foxes would never allow it." Mr. V raise his voice to Rey. He looked Rey who was I silent and decided to continue.
He took one of the level 3 dark elemental cores with his right hand and showed it to Rey. "This single core that you had given to me could be used to buy 10 Armata!" Rey was a little confused. "What's Armata?" Mr. V shook his head and seemingly displeased by Rey's ignorance.
"Armata is one of the best tanks on earth. The base price of this tank is 4.4 million each and with some additional cost, this tank would be priced at 5 million!" Rey was shocked. He never though that the cores in Mr. V's hand would be priced that high.
"The core was 50 million each?" Rey's hand was trembling. "If I never come to know you, I would buy it for even 100 million if someone selling it." "But, why did you…" "Forget it. It seems your master had decided to give me a warning." Mr. V sighed.
'Master? Did he think I had a master behind me? Well, that would be the best scenario.' Rey was silent in his thought. "I think you don't know about it, but the reason your master told you to order this much guns is to warn me." Mr. V began to explain because he thought that Rey does not understand his master intention.
'Well, if you say so, kekkeke.' Rey was in silent and Mr. V continued. "Alright, I will deliver the guns this Friday. Even if the risk was really big. I would still deliver it, but I will deliver it in the night." "Why should you bring the guns in the night?" "Are you a fool, brat?" He raised his voice again. "I.." Rey don't know what to say.
"What do people think if there are some suspicious truck go to your house? I bet they will ask police to investigate, and what do you think if the police suddenly come to your house while we are in the middle of unloaded the guns? I bet you will put in jail for the rest of your life."
"I see…" Rey said in a low voice. "Alright, now go back and bring these cores back. Tell your master that I was apologized for my action." Rey take back his cores and go to his home.
While in taxi Rey was still thinking about what Mr. V said. 'This misunderstanding is really good, kekeke.'
