The next morning, Kei followed Mrs. Kim to the store located on the lower floor of the house.
The old sign hanging in front of the door read: "Hunter’s Equipment Store".
The inside is not big but every corner is arranged very neatly. Metal shelves are arranged in rows, displaying all kinds of tools for hunters, big and small, looking very neat.
"Is this your store?"
Kei asked curiously, his head constantly looking around.
"Yes. I’ve been selling these things for nearly half my life. Ever since the Dungeon gates appeared in this world, the lives of ordinary people like us have been closely linked to the existence of hunters."
Mrs. Kim said as she opened the back warehouse door.
"Kei, come here and help me check the goods. Items with green labels are on the left, red labels are on the right. Don’t arbitrarily open the medicine bottle, it will weaken its effects."
"Yes."
Kei picked up a small box. Inside are silver rings with small, colorful stones embedded in the middle.
I don’t know why, but these stones looked quite similar to the magic stones in his old world, but they looked quite low level.
"They are F rank space rings."
Mrs. Kim pointed to the label on the box and introduced it.
"Can hold about one cubic meter of objects. Newly awakened people often buy it to store weapons and materials collected in Dungeons. This item is an item that every new hunter must buy once, then when their level increases, they will change to a higher level ring."
Kei looked at the ring for a long time.
"Is the space inside fixed with these stones?"
"I don’t know the principle. The creator said it only needs the hunter to inject energy to use it."
"Energy..."
Is it any different from the magic power of a magician? Kei thought for a moment, put the ring down, then picked up a bottle of red medicine to see
"The bottle in your hand is a healing potion. The blue bottle is an energy recovery potion. These are the basic equipment for hunters when entering the Dungeon. Of course, the goods we sell are only low-level F and E grade elementary types."
He held the bottle up to the light. The liquid inside rippled gently, the magic power fluctuations were very weak but stable.
"Hmm.. The preparation is so primitive."
Mrs. Kim immediately turned her head and asked me:
"Rude?"
"No. I mean... very interesting."
Kei quickly corrected his words.
In the old world, his alchemy could decompose monster souls, refine magic power, and restructure matter. The items here are simple but have a completely different system.
They do not rely on the user but are designed so that any hunter can use them widely and easily, perhaps to save time and manpower to survive in the Dungeon.
If you understand that principle, perhaps you will know how this world has turned power into a commodity.
That’s knowledge Kei must learn, a magician can’t sit still when seeing new knowledge of an interesting world like this?
The store opened at nine o’clock, less than ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Mrs. Kim, is there an F rank space ring today?"
The young hunters walked into the store smiling and laughing, just a glance showed the youth on their faces, they were probably just teenagers starting their journey to pursue their careers as hunters.
"Yes. But the price is not cheap, young hunters."
"Give me two healing potions, two more energy recovery potions."
"Do you want the higher grade F or E rank? If you buy five bottles, I will give you an 80% discount or give you some herbs to treat low-level wounds."
Mrs. Kim quickly welcomed each guest. She clearly remembers the price, uses and buying habits of each regular customer, and new customers are also very satisfied.
Kei stood inside the warehouse to continue arranging furniture and packing orders for Mrs. Kim, quietly watching the hunters outside enter the store.
Those who entered were carrying equipment. Some people wear swords at their hips, others wear light armor. They talked about Dungeons, monsters, the money they earned after each trip and what equipment and medicine they had to buy for the next trip.
This feeling was not much different when Kei saw the adventurers of the old world.
Kei did not dare to come into too much contact with these hunters.
If you say just one wrong sentence, your identity could be revealed. A magician from another world is definitely not something that can be easily explained, they will even find a way to destroy him.
First of all, you must learn well about this world, so that no one can easily notice your lack of knowledge.
Near noon, Mrs. Kim took some money and gave it to him.
"Let’s go buy food. Today I want to eat hot soup."
Mrs. Kim smiled kindly and said.
"I’ll buy tofu and some meat."
Kei received the money and replied, he put on his shirt, covered his head and walked to the nearby convenience store.
This place took him quite a while to choose.
Goods are lined up on shelves, each item has a different price and name. Kei stood in front of the food counter, seriously choosing as if examining rare magic ingredients.
Suddenly, the door automatically opened and three figures ran in.
Two men, one woman. All three were dressed in hunter outfits, one man clutching his arm, blood seeping through his shirt.
"Where is the first aid kit? Bring it here quickly!" the girl yelled at the cashier.
The cashier was startled and quickly turned around to search. Her hands shook so much that she dropped the entire box of bandages at her feet.
"First aid kit... or bandages? You should go to the hospital..."
The young girl said awkwardly.
"What are you doing?"
The other man gritted his teeth. The guy’s name was Lee Jae Ji. He walked up and grabbed the female cashier’s collar and screamed.
"My teammates are injured, we need quick first aid and then return to the Dungeon immediately!"
The cashier girl panicked and turned to look at Lee Jae Ji.
"Jae Ji, stop! Don’t cause trouble here!"
The woman accompanying Lee Jae Ji stopped him.
"She can’t even get a first aid kit! It’s useless! Hanna, quickly go find where the first aid kit is!"
Lee Jae Ji supported his friend and shouted loudly.
Kei looked at the chaotic scene before him and sighed softly.
The injured person is losing so much blood and these two people just stand there screaming, they really can’t speak!
He walked towards another shelf and took down a white box.
"Here’s the first aid kit."
A calm voice rang out in the middle of the store, then a white hand held the box in front of the cashier girl.
Standing in front of her was a teenager with a beautiful face that made others stop in their tracks. Her black hair was a bit messy, her soft black eyes looked at her gently.
Kei quietly said to Lee Jae Ji standing next to him.
"Don’t make things difficult for the cashier. She’s very scared when you guys keep screaming like that."
Lee Jae Ji let go of the cashier’s collar, turned sideways and stared at Kei. He growled and asked:
"Who are you?"
Kei didn’t answer right away.
He just looked at the man holding his bloody arm, then looked at the girl in front of him.
"Take it. If you keep arguing, he’ll lose too much blood and faint. Don’t you guys still want to go back and continue fighting in the Dungeon?"
