A 1,000,000,000 Royal Coins Debt

"Hey! Why are you creating such a scandalous scene!" Her friend who also bought the first Tranquility Brush tried to act like a stranger to her.

"~~You'll make your wife very happy with that…"

She pointed at the hairbrush Brian was holding. The wolves retreated to avoid going near the human who just did something to their brethren. Even Raju dare not to touch the weapon that has been used.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator of the whole situation was bewildered by the fact that a single stroke can make something R-18. The last time he checked his Appraisal, it only said it can calm the wildest beasts.

"Ehem… That's the end of the demonstration. This Tranquility Brush is a treasure that can help you feel peace with its bristles… And it seems to be more effective for people of your type."

'Peace my ass! It's something you will use on bed.' Those who have witnessed its prowess protested in their minds.

"And because it's the day of release for this brush, our Blacksmith offers a free item below 50 copper coins for anyone who purchases this item. And a gold worth of free item for purchasing Makaze just for today."

It is an impromptu sale Brian just thought of when giving the demonstration. Since the System will not let him reduce the prices of all Specialty Products, he can only do loopholes like this.

The guy who bought the Makaze happily chose a chest armor fitting for his taste. While the husband who bought the brush as a gift for his wife gladly bought something for himself even if it is only 50 copper coins worth.

If customers hesitate to buy something, just add 'free' on its pitch and many would flock. And true to it, three more have chosen to buy Makaze and a dozen more have bought Tranquility Brush.

He can only imagine what makes them want to own a Tranquility Brush. Maybe if Richi could create an SS version of it, he probably would need to mop the floor later. But it is not Brian's business whatever their reason was. All he cares for now is money, money, and money.

Brian can see coins glittering and hear them tinkering as one after another left his Nova Blacksmith. It did not take long before the System's notification rang inside his head, and there were still a lot of customers and time left before they close.

"You still have that Tranquility Brush?" Raju was asking with reservation.

"Richi will bring one when he returns home. And of course, it's free of charge."

The busiest day of Nova Blacksmith has ended peacefully. The wolf blacksmith who never went outside during this time does not know he became so popular among his tribe.

This is the first time both Brian and Lucy felt fatigued after a day of work. Entertaining a lot of customers is a joyful occasion for any business owner, but it can also tire you out.

Brian decided that it is best for them to give tomorrow a rest day since they have overwork themselves today. Since they would also have their small company dinner tomorrow, everyone went back to their homes and rest to their heart's content.

"Thank you for taking care of Paia today… Is your family free tomorrow dinner time? I'm planning to have a team dinner with Richi. I would also like your family to join us so…"

Brian fetch his daughter and met Raine on the way. Paia was happily bidding her farewell to her playmates giving time for Brian to invite them.

"My family would be glad to. Raju already shared how many of our tribemates have come to your shop today. I'm glad you were able to succeed in this desolate place. Not to mention, Richi is much happier these past days."

Seeing everyone was happy, Brian felt the hard work he had done for the week by running around everywhere was totally worth it. Able to complete the time rush quest is one thing, but feeling the sense of accomplishment with people you are with is something special.

That is why he invited Lucy's sister and Richi's family to share this fulfillment he was feeling. The joy of bringing big profit as a merchant comes very differently in terms of his previous lifestyle.

In the casinos, he barely had any sense of accomplishment. And if there were, it was a sad one. The battlefield gave him pride and honor when he returned home and brought back victory, but it was more like a duty rather than what he wanted.

And to top it all off, what is more important is that he is with Paia during all of these.

"System, go give me another good news and unlock that Item Shop"

<System: User can check the Item Shop after completing 'Meeting The Quota'>

"Hmm~ That's what I'm talking about. So what can I do with the Item Shop."

<System: Anything you can imagine can be bought with the right amount of money>

"!!! Isn't that amazing" Brian almost woke up Paia with his surprise.

"Let me check the Item Shop…"

Just like how his Appraisal skill works, a screen that he only can see appeared out of thin air. However, this is not just a simple set of words and sentences.

With gigantic letters forming 'AMAZING SYSTEM SHOP', what Brian was seeing is akin to online shopping websites his wife back on Earth introduced to him.

"Woah! It's really everything… Clothes, Food, Furnitures, and even illegal products are here. But why 90% of them are locked?"

<System: To follow the rule and order of the User current world, this Amazing System have limited the selections>

"Why bother showing them if I can't buy them in the first place."

<System: Because I can>

Brian was already immune to the annoying narcissistic act of the System. He was more interested in what the Item Shop has to offer despite almost everything is being grayed out.

It was really everything. Things like electronic gadgets and even weapons of mass destruction can be bought using currency known in Soliel City. Although all of these were not available per to say.

The only things he can see that were open for purchasing are modest items that can be explained through the phenomenon discovered in Brian's current world. Things like dresses, blueprints of weapons, and magic crystals he never imagined can be that big.

"There's even a Gacha Tab. What is even its purpose when I can buy everything here?"

<System: You cannot buy everything here… But with Gacha, you can get anything here>

That statement confused Brian at first. But when he noticed how many items in the catalog were grayed out, he understood what it was saying.

"So you're saying I can get a Nuclear Bomb through Gacha?!"

<System: Yes. But User has more chance getting hit by a million lightning strikes in the morning of the same day compared to winning world breaking items>

"…That's good to know. But I have one question… Why the hell is everything so God damn expensive!!!"

The prices under each one of them really brought him down back to reality- Expensive is an understatement because the largest currency Soliel City has is the most common set price used on the items. Brian never even saw a Royal Coin despite him having a thousand gold in his hand.

An example is a polo shirt which can be bought for a couple of bucks back on Earth is worth 80 Soliel Gold coins in the Item Shop. Brian tried searching Makaze on the search bar and he found out the supposedly katana worth 26 gold is now 2 Royal Coins and 600 gold.

Everything is 100 times the price.

<System: To explain the increase of price, User can check his balance in the item shop>

Like what the System told him, there was a tab in the Item Shop where he could see his balance. Under it, there was 'Deposit' where Brian assume its purpose is to put real-life money so he can use it for purchasing things in the Item Shop.

But on the topmost corner where his Balance should be listed as 0, a nine figure number was there instead.

To be exact, it was '-999,999,999 Royal Coins'

"A negative value?! Am I in debt!?"

<System: You have a loan history of 1,000,000,000 Royal Coins to be paid until the end of the User's lifetime. If the User won't be able to pay for everything. He will be the first soul to be put under the VVIP section of our leisure chamber… And don't worry, there is no interest>
