Item Name: Napalm Molotov
Description: Napalm is a highly flammable liquid. It is sticky and has the consistency of glue. The advantages of using Napalm as a fuel in the Molotov is that it burns longer than gasoline, sticks to things, and burns at a heat that isn't less than gasoline.
The fire system is a little advanced compared to the normal cloth wick molotovs and uses a fire stick that burns similar to a sparkling stick that kids use as fireworks but this one takes only one single spark to catch fire like a matchstick. It burns for approximately 15 seconds before the whole stick is consumed.
It is windproof and is taped to the side of the glass bottle while the opening is closed shut with a cork or a cap. This enables the option of throwing the bottles overhead as there won't be any leakages.
In short, it overcomes most of the disadvantages of the traditional molotovs and also has better reliability compared to self-igniting ones with a 99% igniting chance as long as the bottle breaks.
Note: I am from sector Z and I have read the message sent by Jhonny. I am assuming that this is an effort to provide them with supplies, so if you need anything else, please do not hesitate to ask me. I am an army general and currently, I am in charge of the headquarters in sector X. I don't even need the winning prize as long as my help can save one extra life.
Cost: 99 SP

Larcen opened the chat again and saw the "qualified for final test" message that he had sent before sending him another message.
GunmanLarcen: You are right. I am doing my best to help them out and since you are a general, can you give me a strategy or something that you can come up with to help them out? More like an instruction for them on how to fight a horde of monsters.
Here are the things I can currently mass produce: Fraxure .22 M28, .22 M28 Magazine with HP rounds and chest rigs. I will somehow find some food and water for them too in a few hours and get the system set up to produce some Molotov that you listed.
Your help will be appreciated, thank you.
After he sent the message, he bought the Molotov that the guy had listed before scanning it and replicating it.
{You have successfully scanned Napalm Molotov}
{You have successfully created Napalm Molotov x1000}
"Ah nice, stack limit reached."
{You have successfully created Cotton Towel x 200}
He took out one of the towels from his inventory and gave it a small cut at one of the edges before tearing it. With the new thin strip of cloth, he tied two bottles together and scanned the pair again.
{You have successfully scanned a pair of Napalm Molotovs}
{You have successfully created a pair of Napalm Molotovs x 800}
'Nice, so 1600 is the maximum limit. Now, what kind of food should I give those guys? They need a lot of energy so, I guess I can make them some kind of burger or something.... or just scan one of them downstairs. Nah, I'll just give them some Energy bars. Five each should be more than enough. I have enough water too so, all I need to do right now is to accept the loan and set all these things up in a bundle sale thing.'
He sent the molotovs back into his inventory before setting up the loan function that was sneakily hidden in the bottom corner of the trade terminal, written in extremely small text size.
There were two kinds of loans and they were very different from each other.
The first one was from the merchant, A.K.A Larcen to the buyer and the interest rates could be changed according to the merchant.
The second one was system to buyer and this one was a total ripoff in Larcen's eyes as the interest rate was a hefty 300% of the creation cost per day. This meant that if a person bought something that cost 1SP in creating/replicating using a loan, they would have to pay back 4SP by the next day and if they didn't, it would keep increasing by three SP every day for a maximum of 10 days and if it wasn't paid off my then, the person would either die or have the amount forcibly taken away from their balance.

Larcen's heart ached as he saw the numbers. There could be at least 10 million people alive from the estimated 160 million but he couldn't sell the items to them directly as he did not have enough money to do so.
He wanted everyone to buy the bundle at the same time and break through the monster horde at night and it was not possible with the balance he had at the moment as he could only sell around 30,000 bundles with his balance that was a little higher than 5000 SP.
'To be able to sell them those bundles directly, I will have to assume that at least half of the population is alive and that would make 80 million and the replication cost needed for so many people should be around 13.5 million.'
He let out a long sigh as he could get none of the profits from the event but he was optimistic about it as he could potentially gain millions of future customers using the system for loan
"Let's see what he's got for me", he muttered as he began to read Qing Hao's reply.
