Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 538 Business Opportunity

I logged out from the game and went to sleep after doing my business. It has been a while since I worked hard. It's not like I am doing hard without much result. With my current work, profit will come in like crazy later on, especially during the current situation. With Mother, these profits will increase a lot and we will be earning a lot later on. It might be a bit of trouble for other players but this is a big limited business opportunity that only occurs during this situation and once the event concludes, this business opportunity will be gone for good unless something similar will happen again which is why before a rival opportunistic individual appear, raking in the money with some things will help out a lot in terms of money making.

The next day, I log back into the game and my parents are already there with the others holed up inside the mansion. They are currently discussing all of the stuff that is happening in the Capital and are thinking of doing something about what is happening. Since they were on the topic, might as well tell them my plan.

"Hey there guys, what's up?" I asked as I approached them after logging in.

"Oh, you are here, Bladeheart, good timing," Dolly claps her hands as she saw me coming in.

"What's up? You guys seem to have been under a very serious discussion while I am still out. Care to fill me in?"

"Well, we are discussing what to do during this current situation. It seems the event Dungeon Break has an ulterior motive of increasing the rewards and actually giving us a false sense of a relaxing event. The current situation of the Capital is very bad that I don't think it will be easy for the place to stand back up after this." Sigma opened her menu and showed the photos in the online community about the current situation in the Capital and how the players are struggling.

"I already know about this, I was here when the Dungeon Break occurred. That is why my followers and pets are currently out there doing the defense against the incoming enemies that come in from time to time. That is also the main reason why Lily the owner of the Tavern and Inn in the capital is here with Almira."

"Eh? So you already have an inkling of what is going to happen?" Dolly looked at me in surprise.

"It's not like I really know about it. I just have suspicion on how the situation seems pretty suspicious to begin with. And turns out I was right."

"So what are we going to do then? Join into the fray and fight the monsters? This suggestion of mine seems bad but it seems to be the only thing we can do. It would take quite a while and we might suffer losses if we joined," my father suggested.

"Although I can understand what you are saying, Father, it's not the best move we have right now. However, I already have an idea of what we are going to do during the current onslaught of monsters in the Capital. I have been thinking about it since yesterday until I logged out from the game on what to do so I decided to share what I want to happen and what we should do to take advantage of what is happening."

"Take advantage?" everyone seems interested in what I am currently brewing.

"Yes, would you guys like to join in my idea? Here, let me share it."

The Prosperous Capital.

...Or should we say the former prosperous Capital? Anyways, after what happened during the dungeon break, the monsters ran rampant all around the city, and players and NPCs alike are all trying their best to reclaim the city's parts one by one from the claws of monsters. As much as they like to do it, most of the players are having a hard time doing so especially with all of the monsters being their enhanced version and it seems to have gotten smarter to the point where they even knew how to ambush players and kill them before they can hunt the monsters that ambushed them.

Due to the unexpected event, the businesses that help the players before are all on a halt. The people who previously sell potions do not sell due to how all of their items are destroyed during the panic and destruction of the monsters. There are some businessmen and women who managed to save up a meager of their goods but it only lasted a day until their goods are out and they have no ways to resupply as the monsters already occupied their warehouses, stores, and other places where they can get their supplies replenished so in the end, the potions and goods are all limited to the point that players are now too reliant on their clerics to heal and they have to save up their very last bottles of potions until the very end in fear that another dangerous fight will occur and they cannot do anything unless they're very confident.

Now, what does this do with us? Well, due to the current situation, an opportunity for business has arisen. After my discussion with everyone back in the mansion, they soon realized that this is indeed a very good venture for everyone. Not only will they be able to earn money but they will also gain quite a lot of goods too.

When the needs have reached the point where the resources for the need have gone dry, the people will try to find an alternative. An alternative to satisfy the needs of the masses. So what is the current thing that is missing right now? Of course, that is potions and other supplies that a player needed on the battlefield.

"Come in, come all! All of you weary players who have been fighting day and night. Are you guys out of potions to use? Have your supplies run out while fighting?  Then worry no more! For a limited time, we will be selling potions for everyone! Come and buy! First come! First served! Come quick before every supply runs out of stock!"
