Chapter 5: Buy and sell

Karas pondered for a bit: “I have not any goal set yet…”

He had been trying to change his life, yet, he had not yet set his own goal.

“Well, let’s think about it as I go home.” Karas sighed and continued jogging while thinking of things he wanted to achieve before the four-year deadline.

Thirty minutes as he came back, he then picked a pen and a paper and started to write what he wants to accomplish.

A mansion in a secluded place, filled with high tech defensive wall, a fortress-like mansion with ten underground floors.

Many money, to be exchanged for points.

Remove himself from the Empire’s scholarship program, ‘Orphanage Military Scholarship’.

Three goals, it’s his first three goals to achieve.

But for one to remove their own from the empire’s scholarship, one needs to obtain two out of the four things;

1.) Belong to a family.
2.) Become Financially stable through work or support of a family.
3.) Immediately work for the Military.
4.) Establish his own family with financial stability, ultimately, be married.

Three and four is out of the question for him, and one is never going to be an option for him, he wants to get away from the Empire’s control, he will definitely not want to be controlled or used by a family instead.

“Well, becoming financially stable will work only if I become too independent that I need not rely on other people.” Karas immediately made a new plan, to make his own organization, to be established on his own.

Karas started to make his plans now, he can get gis and other rewards from missions, but with his current physique, how long would it take to actually be physically fit?

The game will be released soon, it’s a capsule with physical and mental effects, wearing a suit filled human enhancement technology, whatever you do inside the game, it will be received by the brain and transferred to the capsule, it will then be transmitted to the player.

It’s a great way to be physically fit, sadly, its effects are merely for physical fitness, not for strength itself, although one would definitely gain muscles inside, it wouldn’t be the same as one exercise.

Still, Karas didn’t hope to get power from it, he merely wishes to have better physical fitness than he currently has.

And now, he has to find someone that will buy advanced technology from him.

Operating a computer, he started to search for people in that industry, immediately, there are about more than a thousand results, but he needs the best of the best, hence, he started to compare one with the other.

After an hour, he managed to narrow his lists to three people.

Empire Blast Technology Inc, it’s the company under the Empire, they purchase everything, a little below the market price in the name of the empire so that they could defend humanity far greater, or so what every Empire in the world says so.

Next is the Almighty Technology Corp that deals with many kinds of technology, but they only accept the most high-end things that they were offered with, clearly, this would be a great place for him to trade with, but the last amongst the three should do well too.

Soaring Crimson Flow Corporation, they trade with anyone so long as they find an item interesting, no matter the price, it is also rumored to be a great starting base for any merchants out there that wishes for their name to be known, but for Karas, he just wants to sell his things, not for fame.

Of course, contacting the company is possible as, as soon as you clicked their website, there will be customer support contacts and other contact information.

After thinking for a bit, he picked Soaring Crimson Flow Corp.

But before that, he needs to get the weapon.

He deposited the exact amount in the system, leaving him with only 156 gis left. He still couldn’t help but smile, the picture is completely different from what arrived, it’s a case of rare false advertisement, because, what arrived at him is better.

Karas took the gun, from the inventory and held it, it’s two times longer than he is, its body is only half his size, but the barrel is three times that of its body, There is are three scops on its body, like an old type of revolver, these scopes can be changed alternately, one is for a farther distance, one is for night vision, and the other one for heat detector.

He mused at it and chuckles: “More like a railgun instead.”

As he spoke, he started to get used to it, trying left and right, soon, he saw the ghost mode’s button, he immediately clicked it.

Zhnnnnng~ A silent sound echoes, like the buzzing of flies as its body slowly changed.

He smirked at it and then reactivated the ghost mode, he detached its magazine and saw that there are seven bullets in it, each bullet is at least six inches long, he came back to his inventory and saw that there is a box there, he took it out and checked, there is a hundred bullet in the box.

[Silent Piercing Bullets
Rarity: Uncommon
Attk: 61 ~ 79
Description: Bullets of a specific sniper rifle.]

“Nice.” After a while of checking, he finally got used to it, he finally called the company.

Karas’ phone is an old model, one of the first ones from the Orange Company, truth be told, everyone is already using the Bracelets as their phone, instead of a screen, they have a clear hologram in front of them.

Immediately, not even five seconds long, someone answered.

“Thank you for calling Soaring Crimson Flow Corporation, I am your agent for today, Aira, how may I help you?” A pleasing voice sounded and welcomed Karas.

Karas held his box communicator on his palm, the agent immediately shown in front of him in real size, like they are talking right in front of each other.

He has to hand it to her, even after seeing his face, the agent merely twitched for 0.01 seconds and smiled as nothing happened.

He smiled and spoke: “Right, I wish to sell something I personally made.”

Aira smiled: “Then, I would like to see the item and check for its authenticity first.”

Karas nods his head then placed the virtual screen towards the gun: “I call it Ghost, a sniper rifle that can hit from a very far away distance, it has many characteristics that I can’t explain without showing it.”

Aira looked at the gun with her eyes wide open: “A… sniper rifle?!”

She’s shocked, after all, which person would be so bold as to say that they will sell a sniper rifle? Although it isn’t prohibited to make and sell firearms, nobody actually does it better than a large company such as theirs, would this rifle actually be better than theirs? Highly doubtable!

“Well… I…” In terms of arms, she has no authority to say anything, hence, she immediately replied: “I will call my supervisor first.”

Aira paused her steps and spoke: “Please stay on the line.”

She loves her position and salary, no matter how absurd the logic is, she definitely wouldn’t overstep her bounds.

Karas nods his head and waited.

Meanwhile, in the Soaring Crimson Flow Corporation, “Manager, someone wishes to sell a firearm to our company, what should I do?”

The manager frowns, their company is well known for selling high technology gadget, but for firearms, they create it and sell it to many different kinds of groups, in the whole continent, they can be called the second in making firearms, who would dare sell to them instead? They have top of the line geniuses creating guns.

The manager then replied: “Tell them to f*ck off, we don’t kid around in our industry.”

Aira felt speechless, shouldn’t the manager check first? But after a while, she nods her head: “Yes, I will.”

Aira sighed, for some reason, she didn’t feel right about this, soon, she came back to her station, she saw Karas waiting patiently as she asked: “Hello…”

Karas noticed her tone, clearly, her manager must’ve said something wrong, since he understood it, he somehow pitied the girl, he can just change the place he’ll sell the weapon to.

But then, Aira thought of something: “Ah! I’ll get you to talk to someone else, please bear with me for some more time.”

Karas nodded; “Sure thing.” He isn’t one to reject goodwill.
