Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Merchant’s Stockpile

The sun was low in the sky as Adam stood outside his fenced-in hut, watching his NPCs work. The carpenter's hammer kept ringing, more weapons for the warehouse. The guard surveyed the area, and the builder hauled wood and stone to expand the newly constructed pillar.

Adam opened the system interface and went to the trade menu. Players began using the global trade system to trade goods, but the offers were limited - herbs, food scraps, And sometimes monsters would hide.

---

> **World Auction Table:**

> - ** Player 33: ** The Hidden Beast – 5 gold

> - ** Player 44:** Raw Meat – 3 gold

> - ** Player 12:** Original License (2) – 10 gold

---

Adam lamented the lack of quality items. If this was all the players had to offer, most of them wouldn't survive. His interface rang as another message appeared.

---

> **System Information:**

>Weapons and Armor Currently eligible for trading.

---

A smile spread across Adam's face. This is his time. Weapons are few and far between – most players can't do it, and monster drops are rare and unreliable. But Adamu's arsenal of weapons is growing thanks to his loyal NPCs.

He opened the **Auction Table** and added his first entry.

---

> **New items added:**

> - The September Spear (Damage: 10, Damage: 50/50)

> - Starting price: 50 gold

---

He repeats the process, listing other items: a machete, a shield, and even a reinforced spear. Within minutes, the global marketplace was awash with ads as players saw his bids.

---

**Player 56:** "Who's buying guns? Stop it!"

**Player 22:** "50 gold for a spear? Are you kidding?"

**PLAYER 78:** "They're the only weapons available right now. Who, load them up."

---

Adam laughed. The prices are high, but that's the point. Players who want to kill have paid everything to survive.

When he finished listing his shares, the list was full of offers.

---

> **Working:**

> - Spear: Current price: 70 gold

> - Blade Axe: Current price: 55 gold

> - Shield: Current price: 65 gold

> - Enhanced Spear: Current price: 120 gold

---

The The system will call again and tell Adam about his result.

---

> **Buy trade:**

> - Raw spear sold: 70 gold

> - Shield for sale: 65 gold

> - Reinforced spear for sale: 120 gold

> - **Total money:** 255 gold

---

Adam leaned back. With each purchase, his **Master Seller** returns a portion of the materials used to make the item.

---

> **Seller Lord activated:**

> - Restored resources:

> - Tree: +10

> - Stone: +5

> - Gold: 50+

---

He looked at the international discussion, as trade lines became a major topic.

---

**GAME 34:** "Who has the most guns? It's like a blacksmith shop here. "

**GAME 18:** "There is no other way around this setup. They need an NPC working for them. "

**Player 67:** "I can't afford a shield! These prices are crazy."

---

Adam ignored the complaints. The players' frustration only increased the demand. Those who were able to buy his weapons became stronger, but most stayed in the fight.

Returning to his house, Adam opened the **Transaction Report**.

---

> **Next Step:**

> - 12/20 The transaction has been completed (next step: copy statistics).

---

transactions have been rapidly increasing. With the gun running from the market, he is One step closer to unlocking your next level.

The priest approaches, with a spear at his disposal.

The NPC said, placing the weapon in Adam's hands, "My lord, the next batch is ready."

Adam reviewed it briefly before adding it to the trade list.

---

> **New items added:**

> - The September Spear (Damage: 10, Damage: 50/50)

> - Starting price: 50 gold

---

By the end of the day, Adam's warehouse was nearly empty, with more than twice its gold reserves, and the withdrawal of resources from its power had replenished many of the items used.

As the sun set, Adam stood outside the room watching the sliding door on his balcony.

---

> **MONSTER INVASION:** 4 days, 22 hours left.

---

His kingdom grew stronger, his wealth and power increased. Players around the world began to pay attention, not Because of the name, but because of what he could deliver.

"Let them be surprised," Adam whispered. "When the attack comes, they will see the power of a true entrepreneur. "
