After the customer left, Harsh once again came back to the empty room, but this time, he started looking through the Display Shop. After all he had gotten he had gotten a free 7-Day Rent-A-Pack Card.
The Display shop had two options: one was to put something in it you already have other was to get it from the system. There were two ways to get it from the system: you could buy it, or you could rent it.
Buying things obviously costs you the whole amount. On the other hand, renting something costs about 20% of it, and it can be rented for a month.
However, renting had a problem: you could only rent a pack. This means a group of items together, so usually, it's quite costly, obviously, you get more things, but if someone knows what they want, it's better to buy it.
After looking through things, he found two decent packs. One was called the Soul Foundation Pack, and the other was called the Space Rune Maker Pack.
The first one costs 1200 while the second one costs 2500. He currently has 4730 TP. After his transaction, he found out that this was the best way to earn more TP, so he finally chose to rent these two packs. Leaving him with only 1030 TP.
As for why he didn't use the Card he had gotten? Because the Card was just too good, currently, it could rent any of the Packs he had access to. Thus, he kept it for emergencies when a customer asked for a particular product.
And what items it displayed:
Soul Foundation Pack:

He also put up a board that said the sale lasts for a month, and if you buy the whole pack, you can get it for 70,000 TP.
Next, he put up the Space Rune Maker Pack

He put up the same sale sign on it and put the rate of the pack as 140,000 TP.
He also put up the Holy Genic Plant (Corrupted) and the Price he put it up for was 100,000. Just to test the waters, after all, if he can't sell it for too long, he can just put some discount or something.
He also put a board on it that said that it may disappear anytime. It wasn't to sell it faster or anything but kind of an explanation for if someone bought it, other System Users who get things from the Plugin won't suspect anything. Of course, the System Users will soon be able to see it; according to the system, the installation is currently going on, and it may take about 12 more hours.
After which he once again started reading his book.
Slowly, the day passed, and he started to understand the first step. Which was feeling the Aether. Unlike many other energies, Aether is available everywhere as it's somewhat a building block of the universe. But it's actually quite hidden as well.
The next day, Travelling Shop was stationed on an uninhabitable planet. So, no one disturbed him as he tried to elevate himself, or in normal terms, he tried to cultivate.
On the other hand, the three system users finally found that the plug-in, which had been installing for about 2 days now, had finally been installed.
Long Dong, as usual, was trying to have sex with his patient when he found out that the plug-in had been installed.
He looked at the menu and found a new option there. Trading Board, which opened up to two options.
Request and Task Board
Display Shop
The Request and Task Board did not have any tasks, but he could indeed put tasks there if he wanted, and it said that if it's approved, appropriate personnel will be informed about the request.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
As for the Display Shop, it had two sets and one individual item. He was immediately attracted by the Soul Energy Foundation Technique. Maybe he'll finally be able to walk on the path of cultivation. Looking at the price, it was not much, at least not much that he could not afford. While 200 thousand dollars would be quite a high amount for anyone else, for him who was married to a female tycoon, it was nothing much. He immediately bought the Soul Energy Foundation Technique.
As a self-proclaimed genius, he was sure he would be able to cultivate it very soon. After all, how hard could Cultivation be? And being Chinese, he was sure that he would definitely be better than everyone else at it.
On the other hand, Lex, the inheritor of Poseidon, was running for his life. Well, he had settled down now, but he was indeed in danger. You see he had destroyed the Athena statue that he was asked for by the system, but the problem came in the form of Priestesses of Athena, Lex would have been quite happy if he had found a dozen or so beautiful girls running behind him but apparently, if they've swords in hand and bloodlust in their eyes, it's a lot less pleasing.
He had already received the Ship, but he was quite far away from the sea; he had been hiding in a shady motel and was getting impatient because he had no idea when they'd discover him. That is when he heard good news, the new function is active.
He found the Trading Manu to be quite decent, but to just test out things, he posted a request. It took a lot of time to do it, actually, since he had to find an escort mission Template as well as give details about many things ranging from who he might be in danger from, what might their strength be as well as the environment among other things.
He also clicked urgent request as he didn't want to wait too much, he even had to pay the whole amount immediately. But the good thing was that it accepted anything of equivalent value to be placed as the price. However, he did have to give 20% tax to the System itself, which it only took in currency.
If not for a useless item he had found not far away from the shore using his Treasure Detection, he definitely would not have been able to pay for anything, but now he was quite happy. He had lost that ominous-looking shield, and he might actually get some help.
He looked at the request…
[Escort Required: An Escort at the Tier-3 preferred at the peak of it is required to protect the client during a 150 KM route towards the large body of water. The client may be pursued by a dozen Tier-2 and Tier-3 personnel with the intent to kill; the escort's job is to keep the client safe during the journey.
Reward: Shield of Bastions (Detorieted) (Corrupted) (Sealed) - Tier-3]
You could even click on the item to get a description of it.
Item Type: Shield
Item Tier: 3
Item Energy: Elemental Mana - (Earth - Dark)
Item Name: Shield of Bastions (Detorieted) (Corrupted) (Sealed)
Description: A Shield made from High Iron imbued with Earth and Dark type Mana. Originally a Tier-6 Artefact, it has been sealed by the use of Ancient Class Runes. Due to being in a high concentration of Water and Poison type Mana for a long time, it has deteriorated and has been Corrupted. While the seal can be undone, it can not be undone by anyone who might need a Tier-6 Artefact; thus, it does not hold any higher value than an ordinary Tier-3 Artefact. However, due to its ancient nature as well as research material, it can definitely be treated as a premium item for anyone learning Rune Crafting.
Estimated Market Price: 15,000 TP
The third person who got the notification ignored it; as for the Witch of Causality, it was not easy to take her mind off the process of refining a True Mana Body.
The reason for her slow progress over the years has mostly been due to the planet itself. The planet she was on, usually referred to as Earth, was actually a Low Hybrid Planet, thus making the energy in the environment not only very polluted but also the density quite low. Earth carried many different types of energy with different densities; however, as a Witch, she needed Mana to elevate herself. Of course, there were other factions who used Mana too, such as the Magicians and Sorcerers.
She was actually the first witch to use Mana on this planet, as before her, all of them had been using Miasma; another reason why witches had been categorized as evil comes from this Miasma is an energy that is corruptive in nature.
Other than Mana and Miasma, Earth also had Qi and Aura, both of which had the highest concentration below Mana. All other energies were in extremely low density such as Spirit Energy, Ether, Astral Energy as well as Gu. On the other hand, energies such as Geno Energy, Bio Energy, Demiforce, Psychic Energy as well, Star Energy, etc, were never introduced to this planet.
Of course, no matter which energy you use, there are a lot of similarities in everything. Such as the Tiers, for a Witch such as her, Tier-10 had another name, the Step of Totality. If we talk about the Ranking system of Witches then she was actually in the Fourth Realm. As Witches start at the Step of Wisdom, go on to the Step of Heart, and only then do they take their most crucial step, which is the Step of Madness or the Step of Tranquillity.
If we divide them based on Tiers, the Step of Wisdom comes at around Tier 2 while the Step of Heart comes at around Tier 4. As for Step of Madness or Step of Tranquillity, they come at Tier-8, a great leap in power but a leap that comes with extreme danger. Especially for witches using Miasma as their core energy. After all, if you take the Step of Madness, you completely lose yourself and become nothing but a shell of a broken mind.
Just like the Witches, different energies as well as cultivation systems worked completely differently than the usual Tier System; however, if you were to look closely at the highest and most proficient systems, they usually follow the Tier system quite closely.
However, that was not the case on Serninon, a planet where Harsh had just arrived.
Harsh was currently trying to feel different energies in the surroundings to understand their properties as well as trying to find Aether; according to the book he had found in his mind, Humans are not really compatible with Aether or rather any energy other than Soul and Astral Energy. But obviously, it didn't mean they couldn't work with other energies, just that it took longer to feel them. Once you've grasped these energies, it eases the process by a lot.
He did notice that it was already a new day and he had reached a new planet. Looking outside it seemed to be night, but he by no means believed that it was certainly nighttime, as who knows, some planets might only have nights.
Looking around he did find that there were other buildings close by. The buildings looked a little strange as all of them were quite large in size, and so were the roads, while the first thought that explained it was that people or whichever rave of beings live here are giants but after looking closely Harsh realized that most things were within human height, it felt as two different races where one giant and other smaller races lived together here.
He didn't find any intelligent life nearby but he did see birds flying high. Since the roads were empty and there weren't any lights coming from the buildings he assumed that it was quite late at night and everyone might be asleep.
Thinking about his own sleep schedule which had been quite messy for some days, he decided to sleep himself.
However, as he had just woken up only 7-8 hours ago, his body was in jetlag, and he couldn't sleep. Thus he started browsing through his system.
In the display shop, he could find so many things out of which he believed many could indeed cure his heart, but he currently didn't have enough money to try them.
As he had started reading the book and had started to understand the Tiers, he had understood that anything below T-3 could not cure such a thing. But even above T-3, the risks were still there.
The most important thing was that currently, he could only see things up to T-4, and according to the System notes, he also knew that the amount of T-4 things he had access to was only a small amount of what the system could offer.
The system had already given him hints that he couldn't sell things or even have access to things that were too high for his own Tier. Such as Mana Stones, which he could only buy up to T-2.
If he wanted to have a certain solution to his ventricular septal defect he definitely needed a healing medicine at around T-6 or even T-7 for best results.
Thinking about going back to Earth, he realized that he must be currently a missing person, but again, it wasn't like he had many friends; the only friends he had were made due to the professional connections he had made. Maybe someone from his office might have tried to find him but he didn't really care about that much.
He could directly teleport to Earth anytime he wanted, but for him, it was completely unnecessary to go back right now. His current focus was getting cured and becoming completely healthy.
Just as his thoughts started to drift away and he was about to fall asleep, he heard a bell. He knew the sound as he had tried the bell at the counter many times just for fun. So he knew someone had entered the shop.
While he didn't like the idea of the shop not being closed at all, he could do nothing about it. At least he had stationed the Golams; they would activate automatically if there was a threat to the shop or him.
