The large man stops moving forward once he is less than five meters away from the teleport platform in the center of the room.

His six guards halt as well, and all of them cross their arms and stare forward as the three of us walk off the platform.

I don't waste any time and pull out a single item box from beneath my armor, then pull out the multiple item boxes from within it that have the Bedrock region's orders sorted and labeled.

Two of the guards step forward and pull long wooden tables out from their item boxes and motion for me to set the goods down on them.

Once I do, they begin pulling out the gear, potions, and various crafted items while the Regional Director looks over everything with his appraisal skill activated.

Over ten minutes go by as the clinking of metal and miscellaneous magic items fills the room before all of the gear is put back into the item boxes they came from.

Another guard moves forward and places a single item box onto the table, and the Director speaks up as he steps back into line.

"These goods are of presentable quality. I accept. Here are your remaining funds."

I stare forward, and I feel his appraisal skill attempting to permeate my black armor, but the waves of mana don't even make it past the outer layer.

I use telekinesis to bring the item box toward me and look inside.

The amount I count far surpasses what is owed, and there are long lists of items inside as well.

His appraisal skill stops probing once he sees my telekinesis activate, and he speaks up again.

"Inside I've included the down payment for next month's order as well."

His gaze shifts to Lith, then back to me.

"In my previous communications with Lith, he told me there is no limit on the amount of items I can buy, so I've upped my order by about five times. If this is the quality you continue to produce at this price, our operations out here will be greatly improved."

I smile beneath my helmet and place the money and new order back into my item storage behind my back while pulling out a few high B-Grade items, like the ones I showed Chester when I made him his special offer.

I place them on the table before us and explain what I can offer.

The large man's eyes widen once his appraisal skill reads the rare imbuements and +100-200% stat boosting on five total stats.

Every item on the counter outclasses anything that he currently wears.

He takes over five minutes examining the items, then sends one of his guards off to bring more funds.

There is a small rectangular door at the back of the dark-colored dome, and once it opens I see that we're on top of a mountain made of dark grey stone as well.

I see other mountains in the distance, and not much greenery at all.

There are many houses and patches of city within the mountain range, and I sense dozens, if not hundreds, of dungeons that stretch through the lands.

However, the most prominent thing that I perceive are the winding tunnels through the mountains that lead deep underground.

There are workers in them even now as we speak, and they're busy mining and pulling ore from the mountain ranges. Far off in the distance, I even see clouds of smog coming from factories that must be processing plants of some kind.

I conclude that this is a mining and factory-filled region, but the door closes before I can see much of anything else.

The walls are mana shielded, but they're easy to sense through. I can sense that there are thousands of people living in the cities around us with a similar population and hunter strength level of those in Solara, or possibly a bit larger, around ⅓ the population of Vice City.
