Chapter 17 - 16 : First Lesson
Chapter 17: Chapter 16 : First LessonKael came out of the Adventurer’s Guild.
As he walked, his eyes fell on the clothing store where he had bought his clothes.
A side business, he thought. I could sell things from Earth. There would be huge profits.
If he was going to build a business, he needed intel. Demographics. Consumer behavior. A sense of what made these people tick.
If I’m going to play the merchant game, I need to know the market. I needed knowledge—of who bought what, and why.
And so he walked.
Past the open-air butchers, where massive cuts of meat hung like crimson flags. Past the scribes and scrollmakers in their little ink-stained booths. He saw noblewomen in brocaded dresses, and beggars hunched in the shade of alleyways, their palms open.

If I bring the right items from Earth... I could make a fortune.
The fire in his gut turned into resolve.
He took out all the coins he had.
3 silver, 8 bronze, and 77 copper coins.
He used Exchange.
