The Merchant (Reboot)

Is your brother sick? I have the cure. Radiation? It's not a problem. Magic? Shh, don't tell anyone. Bubbly black drink? It's called Coke. Gold? Ahh I have tons of it. Luck was an unemployed loser who only knew how to play games. One day, while playing on his computer, Luck was exposed to solar energy and gained a mysterious power that allowed him to travel to and from another world. The other world he could travel to was a world where monsters roamed, kingdoms and empires existed, and a force called mana gave people superhuman powers. By traveling back and forth between these two worlds, Luck will enjoy being a merchant, carrying goods and trading between the two worlds, and making money by using the advantages of both worlds.

Well, you deserve it.

Horace, noticing Luck's silence, didn't press further.

'Anyway... What about the chairs and tables? We are waiting for you to bring chairs, tables and food to open the shop.'

Luck: (0_0*)

Chairs and tables!

Horace, noticing Luck's furtive glances, said sceptically, 'Don't tell me you've forgotten...'

'Hahaha, of course not...would I forget? I'll bring the chairs tomorrow'

Luck's suspicious behaviour made Horace suspicious but he said nothing.

'Alright then, I'll tell Liam and the others to come here tomorrow and I guess we can open the shop the next day.'

'ahahah, sure, we can open it the next day.'

Horace: (-_-) 

'See you tomorrow then, Horace!' as Luck hurries out of the shop.

Horace: (0_0*)

Horace was at a loss for words as he watched Luck run away without staying in the shop for even five minutes.

Luck, realising what he had forgotten, had only one thing on his mind.

The chair and the table! I must go and buy it now!

...

Earth

As soon as he got back to Earth, he called Albert in a hurry.

'Albert, do we have extra tables and chairs?'

Albert was surprised by Luck's question, but he replied that he was worried about the newly opened shops.

'No, boss, but don't worry, we have enough tables and chairs in all our shops!'

Luck sighs, his initial plan instantly shattered, 'So that's it...then I have to go to ikea.'

Albert: ?????

'Boss the shops have enough chairs why are you looking for more chairs and tables?'

'I need it for a mate, see you later!'

Dit dit dit dit....

Albert, who looked surprised at the phone hung up on his face, shrugged his shoulders and got rid of his surprise.

Whatever the boss does is none of my business.

...

After talking to Albet, he took a taxi and hurried to Ikea in a shopping centre.

Luck walked quickly from side to side among the shelves lined up in rows and quickly chose the table and chair he liked and ordered 50 tables and 100 chairs.

'When can I get all the chairs and tables?'

'Sir, I am checking our stock status immediately...yes we have enough stock. If you have a vehicle that can pick up all your orders, we can deliver them today, but if you want us to deliver them somewhere, we can deliver them a week later at the earliest.'

A week was too late for Luck, who urgently needed chairs and tables.

'I'll organise a car and I want all my orders today.'

The cashier who made a few transactions on the computer screen said 'As you wish sir, you can pick up all your orders in an hour from gate b at the back of the shopping centre.'

Leaving Ikea, Luck immediately called the transporter, who was registered on his phone and with whom he had worked before, and told him what had happened.

'Understood, Mr Luck, we will pick up all your goods and drop them off at the previous warehouse.'

With the relief of having overcome one more problem, Luck left Ikea and started walking around, realising that he had not been in the shopping centre for a long time.

'I've been busy with construction work in Gliese for a long time, so I wouldn't mind having some time to myself to relax.'

With the confidence that he now had money, Luck started shopping without thinking about the price of anything.

These clothes are nice! I want 3 different colours!

Wow! Designer shoes! I'll take them!

My phone is old and I'll buy the latest model!

I just bought a new computer but this one has a better graphics card and cpu! I'll buy it!'

Wow! The latest solar-powered drone! I don't need it but I like it!

Luck, who bought everything in a moment of excitement and enthusiasm, suddenly had a smile on his face even though he had spent hundreds of thousands of federation dollars.

So that's why my mum is always happy when she shops!

Breathing a sigh of relief, Luck felt as if all the stress was gone.

The only thing left now is to renew the table and chairs to Glisese. to renew my stock in the world...

Luck: 0_0

Replenishing stocks

I must replenish the world's food stocks.

After talking to Nikolay, Luck went to Horace and slapped him on the forehead when he remembered that he had not received the vegetables and meat he had asked Nikolay for.

I forgot again! 

I must urgently get the vegetables and meat and restock my shops!

Luck hurried back to Gliese to get the fruit and vegetables he wanted from Nikolai, distracted by his new ringing phone.

Ding Ding Ding Ding

Realising that an hour had already passed when he realised that it was the removal man who had called his phone, Luck put the idea of going to Gliese aside for the time being.

He could take the chairs and tables to Gliese and then collect the vegetables and meat.

Even though he told Horace that he would come the next day, there was no harm in delivering the tables and chairs the day before.

'Boss, we've loaded all the tables and chairs into the car, now we're on our way to your warehouse.'

'If you are not on your way, wait for me! I will come with you.'

'We haven't set off yet, so we're waiting for you.'

...

Watching the tables and chairs being unloaded into the warehouse one by one, Luck took out his phone and paid for the transport.

The carrier, who had not yet spoken about the shipping fee, screamed in surprise when he saw the money coming into his account.

Looking at the name and surname of the sender, the carrier looked at Luck in shock.

'Boss, I think you made a mistake, this is too much! Give me your Iban information and I will send the extra money back immediately.'

Luck waved his hand and smiled, 'There is no mistake, even though I called suddenly, you didn't upset me and came immediately, thank you.'

'but boss...this is worth three or four transport fees! You are very generous, thank you!'

Luck felt like a knife in his heart.

Luck, who had gained a momentary aversion to money because he had spent a lot of money all day, felt as if he had returned to his old stingy and money-hungry nature with what the carrier said.

I should have asked about the cost of transport before! I paid too much!

Luck, who was crying blood inside, said with a fake smile on his face, 'Well, you deserved it.'
