What James didn't know was that the store he was in and the NPC in front of him are a little special.

"I'll be frank before I heard you, I only intended to spend fifteen coppers at the most, but now I'm going to spend a silver"

"I must say, dear customer, that you made an excellent choice, although we have strings at the price you initially wanted, they have nothing to do with the ones I am going to present to you now, but what I recommended is a rope that cost five silver coins, that is made from the tail of desert twin wolves. I don't know if you know, but the twin wolves of the desert are a monster that lives on the southern continent, they are two wolves trapped by a tail that is unbreakable, to gain access to the tail it is necessary to cut a part of the animal's flesh, but after been worked gives a great adherence, but for an ax of this quality it is a little, how should I say, a waste". Saying these words Sebastian went to get the ropes, but before he could leave James spoke.

"Wait a moment please..." After listening to James, Sebastian stopped and turned to him. "…I don't know if it's possible to buy these materials here, but I would like to buy some more things"

With a smile on his face, Sebastian said, "Dear customer, as I mentioned before, our store sells everything the customer can believe, we may not have it available at the moment, but we guarantee that we can arrange it"

Okay, I would buy these things anyway, there's no reason to don´t to buy them here if they have them, after all, it seems to be a good store with good materials.

"What I want is a fully equipped adventurer's backpack, an ax, a medium-sized shield that I can carry on my back, and if it doesn't exceed fifty silvers in the total, I also want a bow, a quiver, and as many arrows as possible, until run out of money"

"All that you just told me is possible to get, dear customer, but I need more information, such as, what kind of backpack do you want, what area do you want to go to be an adventurer, if you have any natural resistance, or diseases that need more or fewer potions and medicines of something, what kind of ax you want, the shape and handle of the shield, the type of bow, the material of the arrows among much other information"

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

When Sebastian finished speaking, if it was possible to see James' face, there would have been a question mark stamped on it, but even so, James' eyes, completely lost about what Sebastian had just said, did not escape Sebastian's keen eyes.

"I don't understand anything about the subject," were the only words James could say.

"In that case allow me to help you, dear customer"

"Ok, what do you recommend?"

"First of all, tell me, do you work with any group, or do you have a work contract, if that is the case, the items you will need in your backpack may vary"

"No, to both questions"

Sebastian sketched a smile as he thought to himself. Maybe we can use this boy for the good of the organization. He seems like a smart guy, at least the idea of the rope attached to the ax is a smart idea. Let's see how he will fare in combat and administrative matters.

"In that case, if you are interested, I know a team of four adventurers looking for someone who can guide them on an expedition to hunt goblins, they are strong, the only problem is that they are... let's say, very impulsive. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them"

It seems, that I got lucky, enough to be able to join a team of adventurers on the first day.

"I would appreciate it if you could do me this favor Sebastian"

"Of course, no problem, it's not something that costs a lot after all. Right going back to the materials, you asked for if you trust me I can arrange everything including the rope you asked me earlier for seventy-six silvers, but if you become a member of our store I can give you a twenty percent discount on all your future purchases included. the one you are going to buy now, of course, for that we will have to sign a contract"

Seems like a good idea, they seem to have good materials, and prices seem to be reasonable, well let's see that contract.

"Maybe, but before signing I would like to see the contract"

Looks like my hunch wasn't wrong, he does seem like a smart guy.

As Sebastian considered his opinion of James, he rummaged through the counter drawers looking for something. When Sebastian found it said to James.

"Here is the contract, I hope you can sign it, dear customer"
