Chapter 12: Awards
The building was dilapidated, which is why it did not inspire confidence in its integrity. But when he touched the door, he felt how close he was to this place. The sensations were somewhat similar to the sensations in the forest.
But in order not to bother his head with this, he went inside. Sora immediately noticed how conveniently the door opened inside. People will not have to step back to go to the library, and if the wind is strong, the door will remain completely intact. After all, people will have to try to close the heavy wooden door.
The first sensation that the boy experienced was a hitherto unknown comfort and tranquility for him. It was as if he was protected by some hidden forces.
- Is there anyone here? - he asked, inhaling the smell of old books, which were just piled up here. At first, the library seemed like a small place where there would be several shelves with books, but this is far from it. Dozens of shelves filled with valuable information stood so that two people of not the smallest size could pass through them.
- Good morning, young man.
An old man's voice came from somewhere in the shelves, there were no footsteps, but he felt that the person who was talking to him was heading straight towards him.
- Good morning, I came here to read. Could you help me? Sora asked, finally waiting for the manager of this place.
And I didn't have to wait long. Soon an elderly woman with glasses came out to him. It was clear from her that the years were clearly already taking their toll. The face was dry, all in folds, which is why the particularly squeamish would have a desire to get out of this place as soon as possible.
The woman herself was short. Perhaps once she was taller, but her back forced her to stand so that straightening up was akin to torment.
- And what can I help you with? I haven't seen young people come in here for a long time. So immediately forgive me if I'm too verbose.
- Yes, what are you? If you want to talk so much, then I'm at your service while we look for what I need.
- OK... The woman looked the boy up and down. And I was surprised that he was wearing a mask. "Do you have any scars?"
- no.
- Then why do you need a mask?
- To avoid unnecessary problems on the street. For some reason, people decided that they could get into my personal space, because I have a beautiful face.
- You don't think like a little one... - Sora noticed that Granny clearly has a defect in conversation. Although it was only once...
- Maybe I have a friend who looks like me in some way. Therefore, I have never noticed any differences from others.
- Well, all right. So what book do you want? - grandma returned to the question.
- I would like something about world history and the history of Konoha.
It was stupid to take what you already know, but still the chance to get information that was not in the anime is great. Moreover, if he needs to create an entire trading system, then history plays a key role in this. He can find out all the pain points with the help of history.
- History... You really are an interesting boy.
She went somewhere deep into the reading room, as if she knew what the young man needed. Although a person who has worked in this place for a long time simply has to already know where which books are located. Even in the modern world, librarians go immediately to the place where the requested book should lie.
About a few minutes later, she returned, holding two scrolls in her hands. The history there is definitely distant, which was recorded a long time ago.
- I think that's enough for you to start with. This is not the most difficult information to understand, good luck... After handing over the scrolls, she returned to her seat, where she sat down on a chair. Picking up the book she had already started reading, she looked up at the frozen boy. - Places to read in the center of the library, go into any aisle between the shelves. From there, you can already find your way to the center yourself.
She went back to her reading. Sora had to follow the instructions, but just in case, he chose a passage that looked more central from the outside than the others.
After walking a dozen meters, he came to the center, where there were several wooden tables and the same chairs. Sitting down in the seat closest to him, he laid out the scrolls given to him by his grandmother on the table.
"It's time to find out what I deserved today for my scam" - a grin appeared on the young face, unusual for five-year-olds.

"What? Why don't I have any money? Where did my money go?" - the guy was even scared of such an outcome. He couldn't just lose such a large sum.
[User, your funds have been transferred to the account in the store. Previously, it was impossible to do this because the store was closed]
"Phew... Then let's start with the D-class deal reward."
[Reward for the first D-class deal: healing seal x5, pill of characteristics x3]
"Well, at least something is clear with the medicinal seal. But what is this pill of characteristics?" - the guy wanted to find out what this pill is, but the name alone made everything clear. Therefore, I decided to postpone this issue for a better time.
"Continue."
[Reward for the first deal: Tanto x1]
"Wow, that's an interesting thing. I always wanted to have a real tanto, in the past world there were only replicas that were good for nothing." - Having given the command to continue, alerts were displayed in front of him.
[You can get a reward for each level separately, or combine both rewards into one and get something better. What will be your choice?]
"The system also has such features, combine the reward!"
[Reward for 2+ levels: Shuriken x20, Kunai x5, Power Pill x2]
"Another pill?" Sora looked at his inventory again and smiled at the current progress. But he wasn't done with that. Immediately went to the store section.

Sora, looking at all the abundance of things that can be purchased, is a little depressed. Here again to study the economic component, which will have to spend a lot of time. It is also necessary to make a calculation for each subject.
He has not yet climbed into other departments, since there were no other sales outlets. Therefore, he began to look through the things for which the deal was concluded today. And according to the explosive seal, Sora definitely did not receive a profit. If the kunai was so highly valued, then the seals were bought too cheaply.
But that wasn't what interested him. Pills were the very value where he most likely would have spent most of the money during military special operations.
Thanks for reading and support!
