It had been exactly 20 days since James and Ariel had arrived on the floor. They were finally counted as having passed a floor, which gave them access to the 29th floor.
James and Ariel could not make any purchases because the system's shopping panel was completely closed. This feature was fully opened after the 20th floor. The large-scale auction panel that James wished to make in the future was located at the bottom of this market panel.
In short, James or Ariel could not buy supplies or anything else.
Since James liked to be prepared, he still had hundreds of parcels of supplies in his inventory, but they would only be enough to feed over a thousand creatures for a while.
After the merger of the three villages, James planned to enter the mountain with the help of the dwarves to fence off the entire village and protect it. The dwarves would protect them until they had the necessary supplies.
