While walking towards his house.
Ram meets Hanu, followed by five tall and robust-looking muscular men. These five men were as tall as Hanu, around 7 feet. If there wasn't the slight difference in the face structure or colour, anyone could have mistaken them for being real identical brothers. It was like all six together were some kind of gym bros; Hanu introduces them as his childhood friends who are as close as his brothers. and all these five men are in charge of security and maintenance in the village.
Ram politely greets these men and asks Hanu about the market structure.
"If I want to sell something, can I sell it in the market directly?" Or is there a procedure that I need to follow to set up my goods?"
After hearing Ram's question, the five men beside Hanu looked at him with surprise, while Hanu maintained his normal expression.
"You are free to produce and sell whatever you want, Ram." The products must not endanger the public. "If you wish to sell weapons or medicinal drugs, you must complete some paperwork at the village management office."
"I just want to sell some normal daily products."
"Well, you can sell it directly in the market, but there is a 10% tax deduction on the profit of the day's work." As a result, keep that in mind. The 5% deduction is collected for village community maintenance, while the remaining 5% is collected by the mysterious merchant organisation."
Hanu further added:
"If you want to become a full-time merchant, you don't need to pay 10 percent every day. There are certain basic fees involved, along with 10 percent of the profit for the whole month. So this way it becomes easier for full-time traders."
Ram processed the information, nodded, and went towards his house with the utensils and items that he had bought in the market.
"Hanu, who is he?" One of the tall guys asks, "
"He is a new person in the village and has forgotten his memories. so he looks a little out of place. You don't need to care too much about him. Me and the village chief are observing him, and so far he looks like a genuine, decent guy."
The tall guy nodded in understanding, and then all six men walked towards the market.

After the day's work of cutting and storing wood, Ram sat in the courtyard and enjoyed his even chai (those who don't know, please google it; explaining chai would otherwise take me more than 1000 words and it would be one chapter, lol, this is how much I love chai). and seeing the sun set. Ram thought of making wood sculptures to sell in the market.
One has to know. Ram is not new to sculpting and pottery. He had a hobby of indulging in art, even back on earth. The boring office work was only for the money, but his true love was the arts. On earth, he didn't make his art a full-time profession, but here in Rudra's world, he felt he could give it a try and see if anyone was interested in buying it.
"System, I noticed today that I am less tired compared to yesterday, even though I did some extra work today. Is it because of physical cultivation?"
"Yes, host, you are less tired because of physical cultivation." "Once you reach level 1, you will be even more capable than right now."
"hmm. Okay."
Looking at the setting sun, Ram took out a knife and a wood log and started giving it a certain shape. Slowly, Ram drifted into his thoughts and lost track of time.
Thudd ..
A wood log fell on the ground, and Ram woke up from his trance.
"What? It's the darkest time of night already. How long have I been out?"
Ram looked around and was shocked to see 10 pieces of wooden artwork. These were all different shapes of small animals from the earth.
"When did I do all of this?"
