Though few have already joined npc forging association, after news of no equipment dropping. Few among, with long term business idea from blacksmithing, some natural skilled solo and forger under guild contract.
Right beside forging association is refining association. Crowd there is much less than forging, only some interested lined up to join.
And at refiner's right is npc stalls on row.
Rex arrived at furthest herb stall.
From nowhere he took out a golden coin, put it on table below two finger.
"Dragon born leaf, blood resonance herb, spirit grass, blood leaf, blood genshin root, aquarium, druid fluid, volcan, magnetic bodhi, black blood dust. Full stock upto 10 year age, hundred highest grade storage rings and a map with specified bandit areas."
"This stall doesn't sell storage rings or map." Stall owner looked at his weirdly. Other than complete clothes, he doesn't have anything. Even non battling member will carry a simple makeshift weapon. Even he usually carries a novice hammer that can smash weakest monsters and contributes survivability during stronger ones.
"You can arrange it right, commission 10 gold with final payment."
"Dragon blood leaf and blood resonance herb isn't in storage, it might cost more to collect from other stalls. How much do you need."
"That's okay, you should know fellow mercenaries better, just collect not too over priced. About quantity, more the better of every ingredient, within thousand gold coins for herbs."
Stall owner pondered for some time before stating "You will have to wait 10min."
"I will come after 10min then." He took out 9 more golden coin from interface. "Where can i buy ether skill books."
Stall owner staying silent for a moment "?.... are you referring to miracle sphere?"
"That's the thing." Rex nodded sighing inwardly. He remembers ether skill book also refer to as miracle sphere among lower evolvers, only higher evolvers call it by real concept ether skill book or sphere.
"Go further into allay at west, three two story building side by side. Furthest one have miracle sphere."
"Thanks." He raised two fingers on forehead horizontally for thanks before walking toward allay.
Deeper within allay doesn't have sign of players. Half minute later spotted three buildings that shop owner described.
"How can i help you sir?" demihanu greeted from counter.
"20× (Inspect) sphere. Give me list of all other sphere that's available."
"Inspect is available, here you go sir." She tapped in air and a screen appeared in front of him.

[Vena transferred 2000 Gold coin]
'Hu! Finally true worth of interface.' He stopped clicking on exchange center knowing Vena and her assistants have started their work.
With 3500 gold in his possession, it is enough for current quota.
Rex closed the menu, gave his order for 23 skill books.
"That's 3576 Gold coin sir." She totalled the cost while her assistant went inside to retrieve spheres. "Um, if you don't mind do you have storage ring sir?
Rex shook his head "Met bandits on road, bad luck."
"Then do you have our membership card sir."
"Nope. New in area, i came from far north ocean to open alchemy branch. I was on way to bigger city but met bandits on the way. If headquarters didn't send hard currency then i would have been even lower than beggar."
"Then how about membership card sir, you are eligible to apply gold membership card after 1000 Gold transaction."
"Then can i have two membership card? Inspect skills are for house but other three are personal."
"Yes, inspect skills total amounted 1000 gold and your personal should be then 2576 gold."
[Vena transferred 2000 Gold coin]
'She picked up her pace, transaction team might have been stationed properly.' Just 2min since last transaction and she already transferred 2000 more gold.
"Do you happen to have unique equipment for sale maybe?"
"Not currently here at the moment, those on the stock aren't unique actually. Our company sells almost everything, but this small village haven't been needed till now."
She looked behind him, checking surroundings first before stating "Actually newly transfered batch is for probing market of otherworlders, you know those with unique clothing style with diamond shaped symbol over their head."
