The long-awaited Goldfinger, I thought it'll never come. " Ryan is excited, and a little worried. He read a lot about system-based novels, but it's rare to find a good system.

He quickly locked the door and made sure that no one could see what he was doing. If his hands are to be seen floating around in the middle of the night, some questions may need to be answered. He doesn't want to go to a psychiatrist again.

The instruction of the system caught his eye.

[Every full moon, the interdimensional trading system will now be online. You can choose to trade using items or interdimensional currency.

You can get currency by selling, doing quests, providing a service, and more. You can refer to the exchange page for more info on the currency.]

[The trader is now at level 0, you can trade in the low-level market only. Once a trader's authority increases, he can enter a high-level market.]

[Hints-the more trading happens, the easier for a trader to increase his authority]

"Trading type Goldfinger…. " Ryan thinks silently. He likes this type of cheating better. "I think I have read a novel about a similar type. Or maybe it's a webtoon?"

Rather than player type, game type, king type, villain type, lottery-type, and so on. He likes to have a choice in what he gets, and his improvement is based on his actions.

"Let's see what item is there." He opened the trading site, but he quickly became disoriented. It's very hard to read the font, and it looks like the Internet piracy site in the early 2000s.

There wasn't any picture or description of the items, so he could only do an educated guess about them. All of the stuff is jumbled together. The listed stuff doesn't even split into categories, such as items, skill, and knowledge. He knows that there is a category here, so…. " What the hell?"

[0- level world.]

¬Fish (10 kg) - 1 tc

¬High quality beer-2 tc

¬Iron forged sword- 5 tc

¬Basic swordsmanship skill-10 tc

¬Basic shooting skill - 7 tc

¬Chinese cuisine recipes - 5 tc

¬Indian cuisine recipes - 5 tc

¬Gene optimization fluid (low quality) - 50 tc

....

There are a lot of items there, and it's really messy. He compared the market to a night market or flea market. From basic skills to basic equipment. Many stuff here can be found in his previous world, but some are new to him.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

He checks for rare items, maybe magical things or of superpower nature, but there is none. He's not sure whether he didn't find it yet or it's not listed in the lower level.

He looks at his personal page and how much currency he has.

Host: Ryan - Tier 0 Authority.

Currency: 100 tc.(new traders gift ).

To get more tc, he can trade items such as gold, gems, art, weapons, and more. He can choose to sell it directly to the system, in which he will receive a lower price, but fast trade. Or he can choose to sell to another trader at a higher price, in which the completion time is uncertain.

Ryan opened his upper left drawer in his desk study. There's a handgun with his name carved in gold. It was a gift from his uncle for his 16th birthday. He then checks how much tc he can get using the gun.

Artistic low-quality handgun - 10 tc

He mused to himself. He was going to check the price of another item, but the notification on his panel changed his mind.

The time is already 12.50 am. He got the notification for the trading system when the clock strikes 12. He becomes flustered when he realizes that he could only trade for an hour every session for now. It looks like it's not a sentient system, as it focuses more on the traders.

'What is the connection the system has with the full moon? How does he manage to enter the trading site? Is it a cheat for the transmigrator?' He may never know.

This kind of restrictive trading time makes him frown. But he will learn to be okay with it. The trading system will become support for him in his new life here.

In his first session, he couldn't even read all the instructions yet, as the time was too short. At 1 a.m., the trading session is over. The market panel is now gone. It looks like it was never there. But it looks like he could still use his inventory.

There's no indicator, but he can sense it. If he wanted to, he could summon his gun and put it back anytime he wanted. He tried to put some other stuff in it, but the inventory didn't respond to stuff other than the ones bought from the system.

Ryan checks his harvest. He had to buy some stuff hastily. He didn't even adapt yet to the system interface. He sold the gun to the system for quick money and got 110 tc as funds for his first session. He bought some items and skills using his money, that is;

¬Low level gene optimization fluid- 50 tc

¬Basic espionage and counter espionage-25 tc

¬Basic stealth - 25 tc

¬Low level gun - 10 tc.

He uses all of his money for the trade. It doesn't make sense to keep it for the next, as money isn't a problem for him. He checks before, and his family is still rich.

Even if they are struggling, he remembers many business models from his previous world and can use them here. After all, this is only the year 2005. Most of the top companies in his previous world are just getting started.

There's already something he planned, but with Hiddle monitoring, he needs to keep it on the down-low. It's not that he distrusts the old man, it's just a hassle if he does it now. How could he explain his knowledge then?

Kinda stupid to trade a gun for a gun but here's what he thought. His gun is registered and can be tracked down to him, but guns from another world don't have this problem. This gun also has higher power than the previous one.

Without the artistic aspect and gold inlaid of the gun, it will only be sold at the price of 2 tc. That's right folk, only 2 tc. His gun is more like artwork rather than a killing weapon. The new gun is more to his taste as the firepower is increased, made with special alloy causing it to be lighter. And the recoil is greatly reduced.

Luckily it uses the same type of bullet as his previous ones. If it uses a special bullet, the gun will be useless after 100 shots. 'Do he need to buy more bullets then? Will the bullet match the gun even if he bought it? How the hell should he know if it's the same seller?'

Basic espionage and stealth can guarantee that he can survive if he was targeted. There's a lot of time before the next trade. What if something happens in between? He is a pessimistic guy, always thinking the worst. It couldn't be helped as his previous life isn't something he could be proud of.

He remembers before he got into the adult world, he was a very optimistic person. It's very easy for him to trust other people. But after several times being scammed, betrayed, and cheated on, his outlook on life changed. Now, if he can control his own fate, he will NEVER put it in others' hands.

He bought the gene optimization fluid with the hope that it can improve his muscle and body as 3 years of being comatose is hard on him. The true effect of the fluid is that it can strengthen the body, and push the body's genes toward perfection. So he's not that far off.

Before buying the fluid, he does look at some other options, such as extremely diluted dragon blood, mandrake extract, muscle potion,..etc. It's not that he didn't want to buy it, but he didn't know its effect on the body. (the price is also out of his budget)

His sleepiness has already gone away. It's like he'd been drinking several cups of espresso. His experience with the system plus the excitement of some new stuff keeps him up that night.

He decided to go to the gym in the basement. He changed from his pajamas to wearing sports clothes. It's now almost 2 in the morning and Hiddle was already asleep. He thinks. He didn't know exactly what the old man's schedule was.

"Sneaking around is not important. The important thing is not to get caught." He doesn't want to get nagged because he wants to carry out strenuous exercise.

After all, he's still in a physiotherapy session. His body is scrawny. He only did this to know how much the gene optimization fluid changed his body. He's always been a curious person while he was growing up.

It's just the world is too fucked up that he stopped himself from becoming himself. The inhibition lowered in this new world, or maybe the original body personality has influenced him. Right now, he wanted to know more and learn more.

The basic stealth skill is quickly being put to use. He avoided the camera, and the night guard came into the gym. He tiptoed where he needed to tiptoed. He duck where he needed to duck. He needs to go to a lot of trouble just to get here.

Seeing the patrols walking around with a guard dog makes him wonder "why are they being so overprotective?". There's a little suspicion growing inside his heart that his accident is not an 'accident'.
