Trading With Another World

Maximizing Skill Value

Police car sirens were heard shortly after the policewoman completed her final ties.

From the front door, dozens of heavily armed police officers entered the bank, led by a burly forties man. "Miss Janet, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Captain Lewis."

"Is Miss Janet the one who captured these six robbers?"

Hearing Lewis's question, Janet walked up to him and told him the whole incident from the beginning of the arrival of the robbers.

Alex was astonished to see the attitude of this police captain. Wasn't he being too polite towards that beautiful woman? Or maybe this woman is using her body to get a smooth track on the job.

"This man showed me an identity card after I said I'd arrest him at the police station."

After hearing the whole story from Janet, Lewis understood the whole situation. Although the man in front of him had already saved everyone from the robbers, state regulations forbade the use of weapons for civilians.

Lewis understood that the law could not concern all justice in this world. The boundaries between law and humanity sometimes cross one another. Therefore, even though he would still carry the man in front of him, he did not intend to punish him severely. "Thank you for saving the people from the robbers. But despite our gratitude, state law does not allow civilians to use weapons. So we were forced to take you to the police station."

"Hahahaha, the nature of the captain is completely different to that of the woman. But I'm sorry I can't come with you to the police station, and I'm not a civilian either."

"What do you mean?"

"Come captain!"

Alex drags him away from the police crowd and shows him a Chryso Dory membership card.

"Th-this..."

"No need to surprise the captain. Please act as normal as before. You know, I showed this card to the policewoman earlier. But he didn't know it."

"of course! Only high-ranking police officers know about Chryso Dory. All right, please forgive Ms. Janet's attitude earlier."

"Oh so her name is Janet. All right, no problem. By the way my name is Alexander Leonard. The captain can call me Alex."

"I am Lewis. No need to use the captain, just call me by my name."

"OK Lewis. Then I'll go first. I still have some important business, please temper that Janet cop for me later."

"Huhaha....."

Lewis laughed dryly. Even though Janet was his subordinate, how could he scold the son of a general who headed the provincial police?

Seeing Alex's departure, Janet approached Lewis with annoyance. "Captain Lewis, why did you let that guy just walk away?"

"Miss Janet, please keep your attitude in front of your boss. No need to talk about that guy anymore."

"But the man....."

"Enough! Aren't you on holiday anyway? Come back now, there's no need to think about the current task."

"Good captain."

Though unhappy, Janet saluted then left the scene. He intended to tell this to his father because he felt that Lewis had taken a bribe from the unknown man earlier.

***

At night, Alex meets Bilson in a storage shed according to their agreement by phone.

"Look at all that dus. Dus with the blue logo contains a book that amounts to twenty-five thousand, while dus with a black logo contains a pen that with the same amount."

Alex observes Bilson's box. Dus containing books filled four-fifths of the total room, while the rest was filled by dus containing pens.

"This is really great! Thank you Mr. Bilson."

"Hahahaha, don't hesitate. Quickly put everything in your storage."

"But before that, I haven't had time to take my money from the bank. Last afternoon there was a robbery when I wanted to take the money. Fortunately, the robbers were arrested."

"So you were there! It's okay, after all you can pay for it at any time." But Bilson thought of something and continued, "What if we barter? Do you have enough rice stock now?"

"Is Mr Bilson okay with that?"

"No problem. It's the same if I buy it from you later."

"Thank you Mr. Bilson."

The contents of the room changed from the original box containing stationery, to full of rice sacks. They even had to use the empty space on the side to meet the corresponding amount of rice at the stationery price.

"The total is seven hundred sacks of rice. Mr. Bilson doesn't need to count more, just think of it as my gratitude."

"Hahahaha, you're really good Alex. Have you eaten yet?"

"Then let's find a good restaurant. I'll treat you tonight!"

Magic Planet.

Inside the Golden Mattress, Alex meets Benzir who is writing in his room.

"Good morning, Benzir."

"Oh Alex, good morning. Look at this book and the pen you're selling. It was very helpful in making my job easier."

"I'm here to talk about that, too. What about the adventurer guild's plan to purchase a stock of books and pens, does that still apply?"

"of course. For the past few days, the guild receptionist named Aya has always come to see me and ask me about it. So how? Did you bring it?"

"Right sir Benzir. But I don't know if they'll be satisfied with the amount available right now."

"How many?"

"Twenty-five thousand books and twenty-five thousand pens."

Benzir pondered before nodding in satisfaction. "That's enough. According to my rough calculations, that amount is sufficient for the use of the entire adventurer guild branch in the world for the next month or two."

"Good!"

Even if it was only one month, Alex could collect a certain amount of stationery beyond his current sales. But he was a little worried. After this, did he have to wait for one month for the next transaction? If left unchecked, he thought that it would take months before his strength was at its maximum so that it could upgrade the system.

Given the first time he had received the system, not even three weeks had passed until his strength had increased as it was now. But Alex felt it wasn't enough. He had to rush to collect as many gold coins as possible in order to eliminate the Blood Star Church from this world.

If other people knew the contents of Alex's mind, they would curse him until their mouths froze.

Alex received two thousand and five hundred gold coins while enduring the overflowing excitement in his chest.

After a brief chat with Benzir, Alex hurriedly went to his room and locked all the doors and windows.

Then he put all the gold coins into the system and looked at the total of his gold coins.

'Two thousand seven hundred and twenty-five gold coins!' Alex shouted excitedly in his heart.

He paid attention to his status and thought about what to improve first.

"If everything I put into the constitution and vitality, the only thing that feels the change is my main body. But can universal communication skills and mind-sharers increase my combat power if maximized?"

While contemplating this, he sacrificed two thousand six hundred gold coins and obtained twenty-six system points.

"Alright, I will maximize the value of this skill first. The rest will be divided into constitution and vitality. At least two of my clone's bodies also felt a slight change from the improvement of both skills."

Fourteen points remained after Alex had maxed out both of his skills. Splitting it in half, Alex added seven points each to his constitution and vitality resulting in a change.
