One hundred and sixty-five: Observation (3)

Working with Mr. Malin meant meat on the table, which was a point uniformly agreed upon by all the apprentices of the local Church of the God of Commerce — whether it was the previous snack shop or the tool workshop, and including the various types of stores that followed, the apprentices believed that working in Malin's shop was far better than anywhere else.

Be it the cleanliness of the shop, the design of the lighting, or the arrangement of the goods, they were all unmatched by any other store in the city.

For these apprentices, hearing that Mr. Malin was selecting his financial management team was like a shortcut to heaven — as Merchants in the Sequence, it went without saying that the more wealth one handled, the more business experience one would gain. Moreover, it had a significant positive effect on advancing through the levels of the Sequence.
