35 Blooming Ideas

The store was getting more and more popular as the people noticed the eye catching sign and the transformation of the book shop under one moon surprised them. With their curiosity fulled peaked , a lot of people went to pay a visit , even those who were normal citizen were attracted to the store. "What! This will replace all the torches and oil cost! Owner , I would like to buy 20 for my workers!" The button light was the most purchased tool , while the silver hook gun was seconds. As the day went by , words spread all around the district , mostly inside of the guild building itself. The adventurers were just interested at first but when they heard they could grapple and climb stuff with a pair of glove , they all ran to the shop.

With the lines that stretched outside of the store , it could be said that Nodus technology was the next big thing as other shops and factions were already beginning to research on his items. Around lunch time , Nodus decided to leave the inn restaurant and headed to a big general market district. After looking through every stands , he saw that the common ores that he harvested for energy were worth around 10 to 50 copper while the most expensive one he saw was 1 silver. "Are ores this inexpensive?" Nodus asked the old man who was selling the 1 silver ore. "Of course young magician , they take plenty of effort to mold and they are pretty common." The honest owner was basically saying why buy a ore if you can just buy a sword directly instead. Going through the process of molding and crafting a personal sword would only be for the rich or for the rare ores that are worth hundreds of golds.

"Thank you Please come again!" With one gold , Nodus bought all of the ores and stored them inside of the blue storage box while the people around him were giving him a weird look. "Is that some kind of spatial ring alternative..?" "I wonder where she got it.." A old woman hit the man who commented and corrected him. "You idiot , that is obviously a boy!" Walking away from the district while ignoring the chatters , Ivy quickly walked to his side and questioned his storage box. "Is that also from the shop? Maybe I missed it.." Nodus shook his head and replied it was just a simple storage unit. "Simple..?" "Yes , It only require a scrap of dust from the star..- Worth of materials.." The young lady ran stood in front of him and held his shoulders with a surprised expression. "Then.. How much would it cost to buy one!?" Thinking about the fact he had enough to easily make hundreds of million small storage , the young man calculate his opportunities. 'Since it takes a star core from a dead planet to materialize..' "I am not sure yet but It would be at least 6 to 10 gold."

Those words struck the girl like lightning as she froze. "Wh..what!? 10 gold?!" Nodus simply nodded. "Bu...but a spatial ring cost at least 100 000 gold...May I place an order of 10 of those.. unit?" The young man quickly made his way to his store as he got an idea from ivy. "I can give you a half price discount , but first I have to go somewhere so go home without me." The young man quickly vanished within the crowd , leaving the young Ivy by herself as she made her way home with good news. As he arrived at the front of his store , Nodus noticed a line of people that reached until the front door. 'Even more people during the busy hours..Perfect for a new item..'

Nodus walked past the store and since he was wearing a magician robe , most of the people did not question him. "Welcome back commander." Bu One opened the counter door for him and let Nodus in. "I will be back soon with a new item." The young man unlocked the door and went down to the basement. The basement was made out entirely of metal and it was almost almost as tall as the shop with 9 meters from the ceiling to the floor. Other than a metal tube that went into a safe and the factory cube that recycled ores into materials for the tools , Nodus made sure that the basement had a open space for his space ship. With the white bead turning into the White Jade , Nodus walked up the foldable stairs and headed toward the kitchen. "Module created." The now machine room printed hundreds of small chip that looked like the ones in his wrist and after storing them into his big blue box , Nodus left the ship.

"Standby , Low power stealth mode." The ship gently landed on the floor as all the light from the inside turned off. With his first goal accomplished , Nodus went toward the factory cube and with a transmission from his wristwatch. With his blue storage box open , Nodus slowly dropped some ores that he just bought and in ten minutes , the factory cube produced many small silver chip that was half the size of his. Picking up one of the silver chip , Nodus attached the black module he printed out from his ship , making it slightly longer than his personal chips. "Perfect , the solar module should be able to charge it under one hour.." Looking at the generator that was powering the shop , he saw that it was slowly increasing with a 89% display on the small monitor. 'It seems like Bu One printed out more tools from the factory cube..Next I should buy a spatial ring and do a complete research with White Jade..But first , the shop has to have a better foundation.'

Nodus was pondering about something has he filled his pocket as much as he can with the silver chips while putting the rest into his storage box. 'Because I added the modular.. I will sell it for 10 gold each.' Seeing that the young man came back out , the android slightly bowed and resumed his transaction with the customer who was buying a button light. The short Nodus walked toward one of the empty display and crouched down behind it as he open up a hidden panel. "Beep beep" With a quiet sound , the small display on the glass went from blank to *Silver Unit Box* With an idea of upgrading his items , Nodus came up with a colored ranking system , Silver , Gold and Black. Seeing the glass display opening up , the customer who were lining up curiously looked at the young man as he placed a small silver chip inside.

The glass slowly closed down and Nodus walked back to the counter."What is that little thing?" "I don't know.. there is no description like the others." "Hey owner , who was that? And what is that thing?" The customer were talking to each other as they stared at the new item in the display , Bu One remained silent . Coming back out from the basement once again , Nodus was holding a small wooden plank and walked back to the display. After hooking the sign on the wooden part of the display , some of the customer who were with their friends slowly approached the silver chip and read the description. "What!! 10 Gold for a spatial item?!" Everyone who was lining up in front of Bu One all gathered around the display. "How could this be! It's so cheap!!" "Why would someone make this out of a spatial crystal?!" The crowd shouted in unison , resembling a pack of lions roaring at every direction.

"Owner , is this real!?" Bu One nodded and threw a silver chip onto the counter. Pooof , as the white smoke dissipated , leaving behind a silver colored box. The box was 30 inch in length ,14 in width and 15 in height. Seeing the decent size of the storage , the customer slowly approached the counter and threw a bunch of question at Bu One. "Can I store food in it?" "Can it be used for a small magical beast?!" "How do you revert it back?" Answering only the most important question of the crowd , "Yes the food will remain the same when you put it inside , it will also remain stationary even if you shake the chip , and no , only a golden unit can store living beings inside." Pressing on the side of the box , Bu One held onto two button and after 3 seconds , with a cloud of smoke , the box reverted back into the small chip. "What! I would like to buy one!" " I want three!" "Where is the golden unit?!"

Bu One told the crowd to line up again as he told them that the golden unit was still into work and wouldn't be available this month. The 100 unit was quickly sold within 2 hours and with the total of every tools he had sold during 10 hours , Nodus made more than a thousand gold , something a rich merchant would make with half a year worth of travel! Of course , unless the merchant had many carriages going on at the same times on different routes to resupply their buyers constantly , then 1000 gold would be nothing in front of them. As the line shorten up , the sun was already gone from sight for anyone within the walls of the city. Boom , a masked man with two daggers slammed the door open and ran toward Bu One. The android eyes detected a threat and two laser shot out from his shoulder. "Ahh!" Both arms felt onto the ground as blood spurted out like a fountain. The assassin fainted onto the ground while the customer stared at the scene with their mouth open.

"T..That was a hired killer..?" "Yea.. At least a middle enlightened warrior.." "Killed instantly by a red light.. Owner is a magician?" The crowd looked at the emotionless robust android and quietly cleared their throat. "Excuse me everyone , I will clean this up real quick. The android picked up the man and threw him out of the store like a garbage bag. With his arm transformed into a mop , the android quickly cleaned up the fresh blood while the fainted killer was laying on the road with two pair of arms on top of him. 'Hmmp.. Someone is testing the water.' Knowing that the killer most likely tricked for information purposes , Nodus replaced all of his plans as he focused on fortifying the shop. 'Drones ? Laser sentries or more android..' The young man ordered Bu One to kill any high threat level from now and left the shop.
