Returning to his apartment, Jin eagerly logged into the marketplace. As he expected, there were no listings for magic cellphones and E.S batteries.
A satisfied grin spread across his face, knowing that the absence of competition meant greater profit potential.
Wasting no time, Jin composed a detailed post, describing the features, capabilities, and advantages of the magic cellphones and E.S batteries.
He highlighted their rarity and how they were in high demand among magic enthusiasts and technology enthusiasts alike. With persuasive language and captivating images, he enticed potential buyers to take notice of his exclusive offerings.
Content with his post, Jin turned his attention to preparing a delicious meal for himself and his trusty companion, Zephyr eagerly awaited his share, wagging his tail in anticipation.
Satisfied after their meal, Jin's weariness began to catch up with him. He nestled into his cozy bed, thoughts of successful transactions and the profits to be made filling his dreams. With a contented smile on his face, he drifted off into a peaceful slumber, eagerly anticipating the responses to his post and the opportunities that lay ahead.
...
At the other side of the universe, a curious individual stumbled upon a new item that caught their attention. It was a listing for the "Magic Cellphone" priced at 10,000 High Magic Crystals and accompanied by a free Energy-Source.
Intrigued by its features, they delved deeper into the description.
The description highlighted various functionalities of the Magic Cellphone, including a lock feature to protect sensitive information, a powerful camera capable of 100x zoom, a note-taking app for capturing thoughts and ideas, an alarm for those who struggle with waking up, and a music player featuring unique melodies from the seller's world. It emphasized that the Magic Cellphone was powered by magic, making it durable and capable of lasting indefinitely unless intentionally damaged.
The device boasted 1 Cellobyte of storage, providing a seemingly limitless capacity to record generations of family memories.
It also mentioned that the Magic Cellphone operated on a special Energy-Source, exclusively found in their world, which could sustain continuous usage for a full 24 hours.
With excitement building, the curious individual contemplated watching the tutorial to gain a better understanding of the device's capabilities.
The allure of owning such a unique and powerful item fueled their curiosity, sparking thoughts of how it could enhance their daily life and open up new possibilities.
Little did Jin know that on the other side of the universe, Jin's carefully crafted post had already begun to catch the attention of potential buyers, drawing them into the world of magic-infused with advance technology.

#1 [Magic Cellphone's 5x available] 10,000 High Magic Crystal
"Wait, there are only 5 pieces available! I need to buy one before someone else does," exclaimed an eager individual from another dimension, determined to secure their purchase.
"Luckily, I managed to buy one before they sold out," sighed a relieved individual from a different dimension, grateful to have acted swiftly.
#1 [Magic Cellphone's 0x available] 10,000 High Magic Crystal
"What? Someone got the phones before me!" grumbled a random strong individual from another dimension, disappointed by the missed opportunity.
"Ara, I'm fortunate to have bought the last one! I will thoroughly explore this new device and determine if it can benefit my organization," declared a poised and confident individual from another dimension.
"Wow! This cellphone is incredibly powerful! And it only costs 10,000 High Magic Crystals, equivalent to 10,000 Dimensional Points in our currency it's 100,000 Zeny. Although we have advanced technology, we lack the magic power present in this device! If I can buy an Energy-Source to this person, perhaps I can integrate it into my robots," pondered a nerdy individual from a highly civilized society with limited access to magic or other power sources.
"Wow! This phone has an extensive collection of games, and there's even a feature that acts like a mirror? Oh, it's called a camera! It can capture everything, and the unique music it offers is incredibly relaxing," exclaimed an enchanting individual from a world deeply immersed in cultivation practices.
...
Jin woke up after a few hours and checked his sales.
"What? It's already sold out while I was asleep? I thought it was ridiculous to price it at 10,000 High Magic Crystals, but it sold instantly?" Jin exclaimed in surprise.
He carefully reviewed his sales and calculated his profits. To his delight, he realized that he had made nine times the amount of money he had initially invested.
Upon analyzing the sales history, he noticed that four customers paid with High Magic Crystals, while only one customer used Dimensional Points.
This observation led Jin to conclude that the primary currency in this dimensional market was Magic Crystals, followed by Dimensional Points.
[Emails(99+)]
...
Jin found himself overwhelmed by the influx of emails. The sheer volume made him wonder how he would manage to read them all. Seeking assistance, he turned to the system and requested its help in sorting out the messages, allowing only those from potential buyers or individuals with a reputable presence in the channel to remain.
The system acknowledged Jin's request and began the sorting process, leaving him with only six messages to review.
One message came from [ Ragnar Stormfist ], who expressed a strong desire to purchase one of Jin's products. Ragnar lamented missing out on the previous batch and warned Jin of potential consequences if he refused to sell him one.
Another message was from [ ByteKnight ], who conveyed admiration for Jin's product despite already possessing high-end technology. ByteKnight inquired about the possibility of purchasing an Energy-Source, as magic power was not available in their world. Jin was intrigued by ByteKnight's inquiry about the possibility of purchasing an Energy-Source for the Magic Cellphones. Despite being aware that the Energy-Source was derived from extracted magic crystals, ByteKnight explained that magic power did not exist in their world. This piqued Jin's curiosity, as he contemplated the feasibility of catering to ByteKnight's unique circumstances.
The [ Shadow Queen ], who had purchased the first batch of Magic Cellphones, sent a message expressing satisfaction with the product. Being involved in an Intelligence Organization, she desired to acquire a substantial quantity—around 100 units—to equip her team due to the device's useful functionalities.
In another message, [ Slumber Sloth ] expressed a keen interest in buying a significant number of E.S units. They also inquired about the possibility of obtaining a package that included movies and games. While exploring the device, Slumber Sloth discovered the Gallery application and found it entertaining, leading to their desire for more content.
[ Rascal ]'s message caught Jin's attention, as it contained a critique of the product's value. Despite this, Rascal, identifying as a fellow merchant, expressed interest in purchasing a large quantity from Jin at a reduced price.
Lastly, [ Xue yan ], greeting Jin as a fellow cultivator, praised the practicality of the magic artifact being sold. Xue yan specifically mentioned the Magic Mirror and the enchanting music it produced, which had proven beneficial to their cultivation progress. They hoped to purchase more units to share with their fellow disciples.
As Jin read through the messages, he realized the diversity of individuals and their unique requests. Now, he prepared to respond, addressing their inquiries, needs, and potential business opportunities within the channel.
[Re: Ragnar Stormfist]
Yes, I will personally send you a trade if there are stocks available.
[Re: ByteKnight]
I have an alternative offer for you. The Energy Source in the Magic Cellphone is designed for shorter-term use. However, I can sell you an Energy Source specifically meant for machine use. Let's discuss the details further.
[Re: Shadow Queen]
Yes, I can fulfill such a large order. However, for orders of this magnitude, we require an advance payment.
[Re: Slumber Sloth]
Certainly, I will initiate a private trade with you.
Jin decided to ignore the message from Rascal, as he deemed it unnecessary to engage with that particular individual.
[Re: Xue yan]
Absolutely, I can provide you with a significant quantity. Please let me know the desired quantity, and we can proceed from there.

"What? So fast!" he exclaimed.
[Re: Shadow Queen]
-Hello, Shadow Queen. You really act fast, living up to your name. I will finish delivering all the magic cellphones within the day.
Jin didn't even check the other messages because of Shadow Queen. He immediately converted 200,000 High Magic Crystals into physical Crystals and went to the bank to deposit them.
"Welcome back, sir!" greeted the shopkeeper, who remembered him.

Jin walked into the shop with a determined look on his face, scanning the shelves filled with various gadgets and magical artifacts. He approached the shopkeeper, who greeted him warmly.
"Hey, Mr. Shopkeeper, is it possible to buy 200 pcs of Magic Cellphones and 500 E.S. batteries today?" Jin whispered, trying to keep his request discreet.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise. "Hmm? Did I hear you correctly, sir? 200 Magic Cellphones and 500 E.S. batteries? That's quite an extensive order," he replied, trying to confirm Jin's request.
Jin nodded, his resolve unwavering. "Yes, you heard correctly. I need 200 Magic Cellphones and 500 E.S. batteries. But I understand if it's not feasible to fulfill the entire order today."
The shopkeeper looked thoughtful for a moment, assessing the inventory and considering Jin's request.
"What you're asking for is a significant quantity, and normally, I wouldn't be able to provide that many in a single day. However, given your enthusiasm and commitment, I can make an exception."
A glimmer of hope sparked in Jin's eyes. "You can? That's fantastic! How many can you provide today?"
The shopkeeper smiled, appreciating Jin's eagerness. "I can manage to provide you with 100 Magic Cellphones and 250 E.S. batteries today. As for the remaining 100 units of Magic Cellphones and 250 E.S. batteries, I'll make sure they're prepared and ready for you by tomorrow without fail."
Jin weighed his options, realizing that having 100 Magic Cellphones and 250 E.S. batteries immediately would still be beneficial. "I understand. Can we do 150 units of Magic Cellphones and 375 E.S. batteries today, and the remaining 50 units of Magic Cellphones and 125 E.S. batteries tomorrow? I'm willing to pay the full amount upfront if that helps."
The shopkeeper nodded, impressed by Jin's flexibility. "That's a fair arrangement. Since you're making such a substantial order, I'll prioritize it and ensure all the devices and batteries are prepared for you today. Please wait here while I gather everything."
Jin patiently waited as the shopkeeper swiftly organized the requested Magic Cellphones and E.S. batteries. Moments later, the shopkeeper returned with several boxes filled with the devices and batteries.
"Here are the 150 Magic Cellphones and 375 E.S. batteries you requested," the shopkeeper said, handing them over to Jin. "I apologize for the delay in delivering the full order today, but rest assured, the remaining 50 units of Magic Cellphones and 125 E.S. batteries will be ready for you tomorrow."
Jin smiled, appreciative of the shopkeeper's efforts. "Thank you for accommodating my request. I'll eagerly await the rest of the order tomorrow. Here is the full payment for the 150 Magic Cellphones and 375 E.S. batteries."
He handed over the agreed-upon payment, ensuring that the transaction was swiftly completed. With his purchase in hand. Before leaving Jin check if current balance first.

"I still have a lot of money, I guess I will find a much better place, not just an apartment," Jin remarked, contemplating his future plans.
As he was lost in thought, the shopkeeper approached him with a curious expression. "Hmm, sir, excuse me. Can I ask you something? It's purely out of curiosity," the shopkeeper inquired.
"Certainly, what's on your mind?" Jin replied, intrigued by the shopkeeper's question.
"I'm glad that I've sold a significant number of Magic Cellphones and E.S. Batteries, but I can't help but wonder if you're also a businessman or perhaps conducting some kind of experiment," the shopkeeper asked, seeking clarification.
Jin smiled and nodded. "Yes, you're correct. I am indeed a businessman," he confirmed.
The shopkeeper looked puzzled. "But, sir, this kind of technology doesn't seem to be a popular trend. Wouldn't it be more profitable to sell weapons or something of that sort?" he questioned, genuinely curious.
Jin chuckled softly and replied, "You have a keen observation. While it may not be a trend here, I have a target market in mind that extends beyond this locality. It's in another place where this technology will thrive."
The shopkeeper's curiosity piqued even further, and he couldn't help but feel intrigued by Jin's response. As the two continued their conversation, Jin shared his visions and plans, leaving the shopkeeper with a newfound appreciation for the potential of the Magic Cellphones and E.S. Batteries in different markets.
With a renewed sense of purpose, Jin bid farewell to the shopkeeper.
