Chapter 92 Merchants (2)



The carriage quickly moved through the city and it didn't take long for us to arrive at our destination.

But the destination that we arrived at was an alleyway.

When we came out, we also no longer wore the same clothes as before.

We had all changed into much simpler clothes, like what the commoners wore.

Even if one looked at us carefully, they would think that we were no more than normal commoners.

That was just how average we looked.

However, that was what we were aiming for in the first place. Or at least it was what I was aiming for in the first place.

Both Nicole and Jessica had misgivings about this plan for different reasons, but they still followed it since it was an order from me.

After we came out of the carriage wearing these normal clothes, we headed to the store of the biggest merchant company that wasn't far away.

After coming out of the alley, it took no effort at all for us to blend into the crowd that was out on the street. In fact, not a single person turned our way as we entered the crowd, almost as if we didn't exist at all.

But that wasn't strange since we had also covered up our faces.

If we didn't, maybe we would have turned a few heads with the beauty of these two girls.

We walked down the streets at a slow pace until we arrived at our destination, the store of the biggest company in the city.

I had us get out and change clothes so that we would blend in as commoners. I wanted to be able to observe the situation at the store in the most natural state and that was impossible as a noble.

Since this was the store of the biggest company, it was also the most popular store in the city. There were plenty of people that were here and it was so crowded that we had to line up for our turn to enter.

But the lines moved quickly and it didn't take long before we were able to get in.

While we were waiting, I had some time to have a proper talk with both of the girls.

Since we had to act like commoners, the barrier that had been between us was taken down and they were able to talk freely with me.

I was able to learn more about them and where they had come from.

Nicole came from a commoner family in the town, but since her parents owned an inn, they were considered better off than most people. With the extra income that they had, they had been able to send her to private tutoring, which was why she knew more than the average commoner and how she had gotten this position.

Jessica was also a commoner, but she had shown her talent for the sword at an early age and had been recruited as a soldier. With her talent, it didn't take long before she caught Cecilia's eyes and was taken on as her protegee.

One thing to note in this world was that there was no gender discrimination.

Anyone was free to do any jobs, even physically demanding jobs like becoming a knight.

It was funny how this simple design of the game world had become something that was so hard to be accomplished in the real world. At the same time, it made me think of all the different things from the game that had become real in this new world of mine.

When we walked into the store, there was no one there to greet us.

This store was like a marketplace instead of a normal store. There were many different counters set up with different products that were being sold.

Each one was manned by a different employee and they interacted with each of the customers that came on their own.

However, there was a manager that was walking in between the various counters, keeping an eye on things.

Currently, the manager was just sitting there on the side with a bored look on his face. It was as if he was about to fall asleep.

We followed the flow of customers and went from one counter to the next, looking at all the various items that were on sale. There were many different items, but other than the most simple ones, I didn't know anything about them.

But judging by the looks on the faces of Nicole and Jessica, I could tell that these things were not ordinary items.

It could even be said that they were extraordinary items based on how excited they were.

There was no need to doubt the professionalism of this store since they were able to provide this kind of goods.

Now the only thing left to confirm was…

As if on cue, there was a loud voice that rang out that said, "What kind of joke is this?"

As soon as this voice rang out, everyone turned to look in the direction that it came from.

There was a buff and large man who was currently leaning in over a counter, glaring at the woman who was behind it. One of his hands was pressing down on the counter as if he was trying to put pressure on her.

After he shouted this out, the woman behind the counter said, "Sir, that is the market price for an item of this quality. Moreover, you won't find another store that will have this item in stock right now."

The large man gave a nod before saying, "That is indeed true." Then after a pause he said, "Only if it was the real item."

The woman revealed a surprised look before looking down at the item on the table. Then she looked back up and said, "This is indeed the real item. Sir, if you plan on slandering our…"

Before she could finish though, the manager came over. The manager raised a hand to cut her off before saying, "Let me take a look."
