Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 108

She smiled as she knew that would be the case. The previous time she was really shocked by the huge appetite of her lord. So she was ready mentally for what would happen later.

She also had a lot of preparations she had to do. Many warehouses should be built as soon as possible. Also, many villagers should be amassed to help in transferring these rss.

She had a feeling that this time her lord was going to do a massive shopping that would be on a whole different scale from the previous time. Ibro moved towards the market and he was feeling how poor he was.

He knew that the gold coins needed to buy the food rss alone would be immense. Last time the food unit cost around 10 to 20 copper coins.

He wouldn't be surprised if he found that price rose to reach 50 copper. He didn't need only to buy food; he wanted to buy much other important stuff. For example, he needed a lot of tokens.

Even if he didn't need them for now, every token he got decreased the total number of tokens available for other lords. He also needed to find solutions for general problems.

Although he had some suitable numbers, he still needed more. He entered the market and was faced by the same interface. He decided to finish buying food first.

"Display the food unit goods."

"List has been created. Player can view it now."

In front of Ibro, a long list appeared that contained food. He wanted to buy a huge amount of food so he looked for the sources that were selling great quantities of food.

He found more than 10 sources that were selling huge amounts of food units that reached hundreds of millions of food. They were merchant associations.

Ibro found a disparity in price between these merchants and other sources that were selling small amounts of food. These merchants sold food units at a really cheap price.

Each unit was sold for 25 copper coins. Their prices were all the same. Ibro felt relieved. The other sources sold food units with prices over 40 copper coins.

He didn't hesitate and started to buy huge amounts of food in one go. He bought 100 million food units that cost him 250k gold coins. That was nearly cheaper than he expected.

Once he finished his order, the prices of these food units rose by 5 copper in these merchants' offers and around 10 to 15 copper in the other sellers.

Ibro thought a bit and then ordered another 100 million units of food that cost him another 300k gold coins. At once the prices rose again by the same ration.

He intended to secure more food for the future and also he wanted to make it difficult for other rivals to get food cheaply. He wanted to buy more iron for the future uses but he had to find other things first.

If he had extra coins then he would return to these iron ores. He then said:

"Show me the siege weapons section."

"List has been created. Player can view it now."

Ibro saw a shorter list than the previous food list. It had only less than 100 items in it. All the items sold were at astronomically high prices. They were also provided in very limited numbers.

Ten catapults were sold at a price of 1 million gold coins. That meant each one catapult was worth around 100k gold coins. That was daylight steal. Ibro used catapults before in Rioneed.

They were hard to manufacture and took a long time to produce. But their production cost was never over 10k gold coins. He believed the situation here wouldn't be much different than Rioneed.

He looked around the rest of all these goods. All of them were really very expensive. These sellers were exaggerating the value of their goods. Ibro gritted his teeth and bought 5 catapults with a total of 350 gold coins.

They were the cheapest and the lowest in amount in this list. He knew the weakest points of catapults. It was very hard to move from one place to another.

Even if you dismantled them into smaller pieces, they took a huge place and needed many caravans to move them. The other weak point of them was the high loss rate.

They were very eye-catching with their huge body. So they were the main target of an attack. Magicians were the nemesis of these catapults.

Ibro knew they would be in service for a maximum of five battles then they would get destroyed one after another. Although they played a huge role in any siege battles, they came with their side effects that couldn't be avoided.

Ibro then closed this list and looked for other important goods he needed.

"Display the token goods."

"List has been created. Player can view it now."

Ibro checked the long list of army tokens. Through the previous battle, he knew the shortcoming of his army and the level of challenge he would face.

Level 0 soldiers needed some time to adapt, as the enemy this time was level 20. Ibro was sure the next time he faced these underground monsters, they would be at level 30 at the least.

That meant even if he was present there leading the army personally, he couldn't make a difference in this battle. He looked for the next grade token, the red token.

Each red token gave him 10 units of level 20. The distance between level 20 and level 30 was short. He could raise the levels of his armies in no time. But the prices of these soldiers were higher than the white tokens.

Each red token was sold at a fixed price of 500 gold coins. That meant five times the value of the white token. He didn't know how large the monster's army would attack him in the future.

He decided to have a mix between these white tokens and red tokens. He also needed to buy generals if they were available. He looked for them in the tokens list, but he couldn't find them.

He then asked directly:

"Display any general goods."

"List has been created. Player can view it now."

When Ibro looked at the list he knew why he couldn't find a single general at the previous token list. Generals were sold in as summon scrolls not tokens. Ibro checked the list with burning eyes.

There were a lot of generals being offered here. What shocked him was that each general summon scroll had an expiry date next to him. That meant he couldn't buy them later if he wanted to.

The expiry dates of all the generals were the same. They would expire in four more days from now. He checked their prices and felt how poor he was. Although there were all kinds of generals out there, the prices were really sky-high.

The cheapest scroll was around 10k and the highest scroll cost was 10 million. Ibro was very hesitant. Should he buy these generals? There were even unknown ranked generals for him like the highest rank which was called: commander in chief.

He looked at his wealth to find that he had less than 9 million gold coins. He wanted to buy tokens but now he had this limited great opportunity that he didn't want to waste. He was very hesitant.

He looked at his Inventory. The extra building designs would never grant him a huge sum of money. He checked his white grade weapons. Should he sell some of them?

"Display the weapons goods."

"The list has been created. Player can view it now."

Ibro checked the long endless list of weapons. He felt astonished with the hugeness of this list. He selected some white grade weapons and checked their prices. They were really cheap.

The single white level0 weapon was sold at 1 silver coin. He felt depressed. He looked at his Inventory again and now he got that dimensional bag out. It was really full to the brim with different types of ores.

Would he kill the chicken? He was really hesitant. He looked at the remaining runes that he had in one corner in his Inventory. He had less than 30 Even runes plus over 100 Odd runes. He thought of something. He took one Odd rune and put it on the interface of the market.

"Player has offered a rune product for selling. Would the player want the system to assess its approximate value?"

This was weird. The last time he sold his designs the price was displayed immediately in front of him. This time the system asked him to evaluate his rune. Was it because it was his making?

"Yes, assess it and tell me the approximate price."

"The rune is made of 49 rocks. Three strong energies are detected in the rune. 8 weak energies are detected in the rune is made by grandmaster runemaster. The effect of this rune is multiplied by three folds.

This is a unique type of rune. The analysis is finished. The approximate price of this rune is between 1 million and 2 million gold coins. If a player decided to sell it to a merchant association then the price would be 2.5 million gold coins."

Ibro was astonished by what he heard. He asked in confusion:

"Why is the price of my rune higher if I sold it to a merchant association?"

"This is a unique product made by a grandmaster rune maker. This is a unique product that has no equal in the whole world. Unique products are being sold according to unique product rules.

Your rune will be auctioned in the private auction sector. The auction will take one day to finish. If you sold it for merchant associations, then you will lose this opportunity to auction it. So your rune price should be higher than the basic price you can set."

Ibo understood it at once. He looked at his Inventory and recalled the huge amount of runes which he used in his wars. He wasn't fighting with his armies he was fighting with his wealth.

He looked at all the runes in his Inventory and then got excited. These runes could grant him all the coins he needed to buy everything. The auction would be the ideal option for him but he needed money now.

He decided to make runes every day and divide some for the use of the army and others would be sold to gather wealth. He didn't hesitate and out all his runes on the market interface as he said:

"I want to sell these runes to the merchant associations now."

"Player has offered 130 runes to be sold. Runes are being assessed. Assessment has finished.

There are 30 runes that are made of 50 rocks. There are 50 runes that are made of 49 rocks. There are 50 runes that are made of 9 rocks. Player wants to sell them all?"

Ibro was really excited so he said impatiently:

"Yes, sell them all."

"System has detected that all these runes are made by player Ibro. Does the player want to use his name as the maker of these runes or use another nickname?"

Ibro felt strange by this question so he asked:

"Why do you want to use my name on these runes?"

"These runes aren't like any other runes. They are unique runes that were made by grandmaster rune maker Ibro. So your name will be carved on the runes. This will make it easier for anyone to identify your runes. Do you want to use your name or another name?"

Ibro understood what system meant. It was like he was setting a brand name for his products. He didn't know much about marketing back in his home on Earth, but he knew any brand product had a high rate of success. He thought about using his name.

He remembered that hidden enemy of his. If he showed himself like that to him then he might attack him sooner than later. He wouldn't give him a chance to breathe.

Ibro then decided it was safer to keep his head low and hide his own tracks from his enemy till he got stronger. But what name should he use?

"I want to use another name. Use the name: Rioneed."
