[Offering enough to use the inter-realm network for 48 hours with a validity period of a month. Do you want to proceed with the transaction?
(Yes/No)
Note: The demon merchant has to use 48 hrs of the inter-realm network availed by them within the validity period of a month or else it will expire.]
"Yes," I experimented with all the expensive ingredients and items I had on me then concluded that phantom sword wood was the economical offering I could get my hands on for now. Therefore I offered 100 grams of phantom sword wood to get access to the inter-realm network for 48 hours with a validity period of a month.
[Welcome to the Inter-realm network, please choose a network you want to explore,
>Personal Realm Network
>Local Realm Network
>Allied Realm Network
>Inter-Realm Network]
Confused I selected the personal realm network,
[Dear Demon Merchant,
You have yet to host a personal realm network.
Do you want to host a personal realm network by giving the devil merchant code an appropriate offering?
(Yes/No)
Note: Devil Merchant Code will share a percentage of the offering with the demon merchant if someone visits the personal realm network hosted by the demon merchant.]
"No," I finally had an Idea of what the four kinds of inter-realm networks mentioned were. They were like the different kinds of area networks back on earth, for example, PAN (Personal Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), etc.
With this notion in mind, I selected the local realm network,
[Dear Demon merchant,
We are sorry to inform you that your native realm doesn't host a Local Realm Network.
Note: You are the first demon merchant contracted by devil merchant code from your native realm.]
[Do you want to host a local realm network for your native realm by giving an appropriate offering to the devil merchant code?
(Yes/No)
Note: The demon merchant hosting the local realm network will be the Admin of the local realm network. As the admin the demon merchant will govern and manage the local realm network hosted by them and also receive a share of the offering collected by the devil merchant code if someone visits the local realm network hosted by the demon merchant.]
"Mother fucker!" I cussed reading the dialogue box that appeared one after another as I selected the local realm network.
Shouldn't the devil merchant code be hosting the local realm network for the convenience of the native demon merchants of that realm? Instead, it was outsourcing it to the native demon merchants and also giving them the power to govern and manage the network as its admin. This was just a completely capitalistic system.
I had a hunch that I was the sole demon merchant from this world but it was assuring to get confirmation that I was the first demon merchant from my realm straight from the source. But I couldn't help but wonder what about the first devil merchant? Moving on…
I appreciated the capitalist system adopted by Devil Merchant Code because I could get in line with capitalism as long as it doesn't harm me. To be honest, I felt more at ease about using the Devil Merchant Code now that I knew it was a capitalist system.
Despite all other assurance, such as the contract signing with card world's will as a witness, deep down in my heart I was on guard about using the Devil Merchant Code. Even if it had evolved and broken free of the control of the demons and other dark races, it did not change the fact that it was created by them. As the saying goes, 'You are the product of your surroundings.'
However, now that I have seen that Devil Merchant Code was more about capitalism than some kind of inter-realm overlord, my heart was a little more at ease about using it. So next I selected the Allied Realm Network
[Dear Demon Merchant,
You have no outstanding contract with other realms to enter their local realm networks.
Do you want to use the Inter-realm search feature of the devil merchant code to search for realms by giving the devil merchant code appropriate offering?
(Yes/No)
Note: The foreign realms with which Demon merchants have contracts are called Allied Realms.]
"No," Learning that by using the allied realm network I can enter the local realm network of the realms I am allied with, I moved on to select the Inter-realm network,
[Welcome to the inter-realm network,
>Search
>Inter-Realm City]
[Search: this function of the inter-realm network searches for and identifies items in the inter-realm network database that correspond to keywords or characters specified by the demon merchant.
Note: accessing the search data specified by the demon merchant requires an offering specified by the demon/devil merchant to whom the data belongs to.]
[Inter-Realm City: Inter-realm city is a spiritual city created by the devil merchant code in the spiritual plane for the demon/devil merchant's social and economical development. By allowing them to trade with their fellow demon/devil merchants in person in the spiritual plane.
p??d? ???ê|,?ò? Caution: Demon merchants are advised to find a secluded and safe space before using this function of the inter-realm network because when used the demon merchant's spirituality will separate from their body and move into the spiritual plane to enter the spiritual city, Inter-realm city.
Note: visiting the inter-realm city for long period will put a strain on the physical body of the demon merchant.]
The inter-realm network which was hosted by the Devil merchant code was more user-friendly as it provided descriptions for each of its functions. Thanks to the description I understood the two functions of the inter-realm network. I felt that the search function was very much like a search engine back on earth.
Except for the fact that all the search engines on earth's internet were free. But considering the fact that those search engines collected our private data and sold it to a third party who was willing to pay for our private data it was good to know that the devil merchant code prioritized user privacy, even though it weighed on my wallet.
