Fantasy Realm [One Piece] [Harry Potter] [Naruto] - [Progression] [LitRPG]

Chapter 60: Successful Sales and the Mysterious Seer

After the chaotic first sales event using his new red outfit, wig, and, of course, his favorite [Jack's Spare Silvery Mask], which for some reason makes him feel safe and comfortable, essentially allowing him to become an anonymous person, safe from detection—Alex feels great! With his new identity, he has developed a ruthless and no-nonsense trading personality. He hopes to keep this up, as it will simplify many things in the future.

After a good night's sleep and going about his daily business, Alex returns to the Trading Hub. He attempts to sell his [Quality Fur Armor], [Quality Fur Boots], [Quality Fur Gauntlets], and his [Solid Marine Saber]. He receives a few reasonable offers, but for some reason, he feels oddly attached to these items. They carried him through his first mission and even the early stages of his last mission, enabling him to find better upgrades in the Final Fantasy 9 world.

Maybe it's personal bias, but to him, these items aren't just "three weak White items and a starter saber", they're something to be treasured.

After a few hours of contemplation, Alex convinces himself to let go of that mindset. "It's just silly and serves no useful purpose," he tells himself. He decides to sell them if he gets an offer slightly above the market price, one that leans in his favor.

For some reason, the market is unusually empty today compared to yesterday. "Did a lot of players leave today, or... wait! It's Monday. Haha, guess people are still working at this stage?"

After not having much luck, Alex decides to check out other merchants in the Trading Hub. He finds nothing of particular value.

He does come across a few interesting items, like a flintlock pistol—not a powerful tool like the one he obtained in the One Piece world, but a genuine old-style pistol that can only fire once before requiring a tedious reload using two different sets of gunpowder and a small ramrod. Apparently, a player acquired it in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. The only advantage Alex sees is that this type of gun is likely allowed in any world without restrictions. Also, the ammunition seems dirt cheap, compensating for its low efficiency.

A few days go by, and Alex finally manages to sell a few more items. Using his real identity, he sells the [Solid Marine Saber] for 4,000 FC. His three [Quality Fur Armor], [Quality Fur Boots], and [Quality Fur Gauntlets] go for a combined total of 1,500 FC.

Alex also spends a total of 1,000 FC repairing his items. Several of his weapons and armor pieces, especially the Pluto set, had low durability since they were already damaged when he acquired them. On average, the blue items cost him 10 FC per lost point of durability, with weapons, shields, and other equipment costing even more. In the end, Alex decides to use 1,000 FC to restore everything to 100% condition.

In his new identity, he continues to have success over the next few days. The blackmailers and scammers eventually give up, realizing that Alex isn't giving them any openings. He quickly sells all his items, excluding the essences and, of course, the heavily overpriced [Skillbook: Black Magic (Fire-Series)].

His sales for [Antidote] x2, [Eye Drops] x3, [Rod], [Mage Staff], [Wrist] x2, and the [Iron Sword] bring in a solid 20,000 FC. Apparently, someone who has already formed a sizable group and plans to convert it into a full-fledged guild once his core members and he reach level 5 bought the items. Alex and the buyer haggled hard, eventually agreeing on the sum of 20,000 FC, which Alex feels is very fair. The weapons are all weak, with minor effects, the other items are situational, and the [Wrists] are practically useless. Still, Alex admits it's quite a diverse set of equipment, something useful for almost anyone.
