Chapter 24: 24- Exposed

24- Exposed

The price of the 'Empty slot for Job' was just now 1 million sikka, and I just turned my attention from the shop screen to the system notification for two second and when I looked back at the shop screen; I was shocked as the price of 'Empty slot for Job' was increased ten times and now it is 10 million sikka.

I immediately asked the system,

"System why did the price of the 'Empty slot for Job' increased to 10 million sikka?"

'ding'

'The 'Empty slot for Job' is rare item and it is sold in certain quantity'

'It's like when a product's stock is less but the demand is more, the price increases'

When I heard this and thought about something. To clear my doubt, I asked again

"So, if I buy the 'Empty slot for Job' again then its price will increase again?"

'ding'

'correct'

When I heard all this, I almost fainted. Because if that's how it is then now it is 10 million sikka, next time it will be 100 million sikka or (may even exceed or decrease), after that 1 billion sikka, then 10 billion and so on.

What is 10 billion sikka, that is almost equal to 10 million gold coin. If that much money is obtained by a country then, it can run for a year without tax.

Looks like I seriously need to earn money or else I am going to become bankrupt.

Throwing this matter behind, I continued searching through to see if anything good can be obtained. After some time, I came across the thing that I need the most right now.

That is healing potion. That's right it's the healing potion normally used in the RPG games and manga.

'Level 1 Healing potion. Price = 1000 sikka. (Property: adds 100 HP)'

'Level 2 Healing potion. Price = 10,000 sikka. (Property: adds 500 HP)'

There other Levels healing potion displayed, but they are locked. So, I can only buy Level 1 and Level 2 Healing potion. Plus, my HP limit is only 500; so, I don't need the Level 2 Healing potion for now but, I will buy it just in case of emergency.

I bought 20 (Level 1 Healing potion) and 5 (Level 2 Healing potion) which cost me 70,000 sikka.

After that I continued scrolling, but could not find anything interesting. As I was about to quit from the shop window, I came across two more interesting things.

Inventory and Storage box.

I saw the description of the both things:

-------------------------------

Inventory:

This is like the inventory in games where the host can store anything the host can lift regardless of the size the object. When bought, 8 space slots are provided. If the host wants to increase the number of slots, then the host has to buy it from the shop.

(Note: No one can access the inventory except host. Which means strong security.)

Price = 5,000,000 sikka

Price (For each space slot) = 100,000 sikka (for each slot bought, the next slot will be double the price of slot)

Storage Box:

This is like a storage ring, but this is invisible and is made with space magic. When purchased, the inner space is about 1 cubic meter. And to increase the storage, the host has to buy from the shop.

(Note: The storage Box can be accessed by other people if they have high level of space magic knowledge or if it is higher than the host. Weak security)

Price = 3,000,000 sikka

Price (to increase space) = 10,000 sikka (for each cubic meter increase in space)

--------------------------------

Although, I am shocked with the prices of both the things. But its comparable to the 'Empty slot for job'.

Both Inventory and Storage Box are good. Although, the price of the Inventory and increasing its space slots will get costly. But it has high security. All my valuables, can be stored in it and I don't have to worry about being my valuables stolen. Although, there is a condition that object must be liftable and size is not considered. Which means, according to my strength there will be a limit to which object I can store in this based on its weight. (It's not like I will have to store a mountain, will I?)

The storage box has affordable price when increasing its internal space and can store lot of things. Although, there is a possibility of theft, but it has low chance. Because the people who know space magic or have knowledge of Space Law are rare and the objects that I will store in this will be mostly scrap or less important things.

I gritted my teeth and decided to buy both 'Inventory' and 'Storage Box'. Right now, I have around 9.5 million sikka, which is enough to buy these two things. Additionally, I also decided to sell the other things inside the storage ring and I also decided to sell the storage ring, as I don't want to use a storage ring with human parts in it.

But I decided to keep the Sword and the Leather Armour, along with the various pills. While all the animal parts, skins, shield are exchanged for sikka and (hoped to get rid of the human parts to the system.)

After that, I gave the system command and exchanged these things, and I obtained only 1 million sikka and the system excluded the human parts.

As those things (human parts) were excluded and they crashed on the floor. Seeing this, I almost screamed and hurriedly exited the hollow tree.

After getting out I ran a few meters, when I realized that I got out of my hiding spot and I sensed that a few people were coming in my direction.

Looks like my luck got really bad and as I increased my stats, my hearing sense got increased. So, I realized that few people have surrounded me.

Although, I agree that seeing the human parts falling, sacred me and it was stupid of me to run away or expose myself like this. But if a normal human being, behaves normally without any reaction when there are human parts around you, then I seriously doubt whether he is a Normal human.
