TL: Hanguk

As the standoff with the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower dragged on, other creatures in different floors of the tower began to sense the crisis.

Each floor, reminded of the terrible famine that happened 100 years ago, rushed to buy food in preparation for a potential crisis, which led to a surge in food prices.

Consequently, the merchants visiting Granier village also sold food at a higher price, but Izrael, the richest man in the Granier village, thought the merchants were deceiving him and colluding to raise the price of food.

So Izrael gave his son 1000 tower coins to buy food.

“Oren, become a wandering merchant and buy food directly. You’ll gain some worldly experience, too.”

“Yes, father.”

Thus, Oren, who left Granier village to see the world, headed towards the shopping district with nine subordinates following him with excited hearts.

But the world wasn’t a bed of roses, unlike in Granier village, where they strutted around with confidence.

After a lot of hardships, Oren and his followers finally reached the merchant district and went to the Wandering Merchant Association to buy a Wandering Merchant’s license and equipment. Oren, wanting to impress his subordinates, gave them each five tower coins.

Now that they had become wandering merchants, they were gathering information about food prices and drinking in a tavern when a goblin wandering merchant approached them.

“Hello. I’m a wandering merchant named Skaram. Are you looking to buy food?”

“Yes.”

“I have a good item. How about making some money with this before you purchase the food?”

“A good item?”

“Yes, it’s from outside the tower.”

“From outside the tower?”

As Skaram spoke, he showed the cats items from Earth.

“Oh! What’s this?”

“That is…”

All the cats except Oren were fascinated by the unfamiliar-looking items. But Oren seemed uninterested.

“If you take this to the upper floor, you can sell it at a very high price. The beings living on upper floors collect these items as a hobby.”

“Really?!”

“Yes. You’re from Granier village, right? A wandering merchant named Theo once did business with me and made a lot of money.”

“Theo?!”

Upon hearing that Theo made a lot of money, Oren’s ears perked up.

‘If that idiot Theo can make a lot of money, I should be able to make several times more.’

With this confidence, Oren began trading with Skaram.

“How many of the item do you have?”

“I don’t have many because they’re valuable.”

“Give me all of them.”

“It’s 5 tower coins each.”

“That’s too expensive.”

Oren haggled with the goblin wandering merchant and bought Skaram’s items with his followers. Skaram, who said he didn’t have many items, had just the right amount for them to afford.

“Well, I hope you make a lot of money.”

In this way, Oren and his followers were swindled out of almost all their assets by Skaram.

“Let’s finish this drink and head out immediately.”

“Yes! Sir Oren!”

Unaware that they had been swindled, Oren and his followers finished their drinks in good spirits and stepped outside.

And that’s when they spotted Theo rushing towards the blacksmith’s.
