Dimensional Tycoon: I Make Trillions in Every World-Chapter 33: The Most Important Resourse
Chapter 33: The Most Important Resourse
Noa lay slouched on the bed, and despite the exhaustion he was feeling, he still scrolled through the system menu.
It was an interactive experience.
Everything he wanted to see, the system had in stock.
Most of them were hidden or locked, but the mere idea that he could buy planets at market price blew his mind.
’The customization feature is better than I expected,’ he thought to himself.
His hands tapped idly against the hovering screen, eyes searching for something affordable that could accelerate his progress.
"Is there something that can affect the current market?" Noa asked the system.
[Of course,] the system answered, pausing. [But you can’t afford to influence the world itself.]
"What about this city? Can I affect Hollow Jade City?" Noa questioned.
If the system had a physical body to show, it would definitely shake its head in disdain.
[But there is something you can buy. It’s more of a service rather than an item, and you can only use it once per world, and I am doing a huge discount for you. How about it? Are you up for it?]
"Just show me," Noa demanded, straightening his back.
Immediately, a new system panel appeared before his eyes, covering his entire view.
[Regional Manipulation]
Description: Vanishes one specific item from the city for an entire day. Demand shifts to alternative sellers.
Target: Jade Hollow City
Effect: Increases urgency in buyers; +500% customer flow increase for 2 days
Risk: Will attract investigation from local sects
Price: 100 TP (18 TP) - (New!)
This was exactly what Noa was searching for. Even though it was a one-time use as the system refused to spoon-feed him, Noa wasn’t dejected because of that.
On the contrary, he liked this mechanism.
Not only would he grow to be less dependent on the system and influence the market by his own means, but it would be a great learning opportunity as well.
"I will take that," he said, waiting for the system’s response. "But I know you would be an asshole and ask for every Tycoon Point I have in stock."
[What do you want to steal from this city’s reality? Do you have something in mind?]
The system ignored his second remark.
"No," Noa shook his head. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Yet, despite having no idea which item he should vanish, Noa looked strangely content.
"But I know how to find a perfect resource to influence the current market," he added, smiling.
With that, Noa allowed his heavy eyelids to rest.
The moment he closed his eyes, he fell asleep, only to be woken up by a loud, repeating knock on the door.
"Who is that?" he muttered, forcing himself to leave the warm bed.
The knocks persisted until he opened the door.
"Wake up!" Yun Qiqi spoke loudly, rubbing her face as she was still barely awake. "Big Sister Qing and Hue are already here."
"They are dedicated, aren’t they?" Noa answered, yawning and stretching at the same time. "I will be out in a second, but how did you sleep? Did you like your room?"
The girl nodded firmly.
"It was amazing. I slept like a dog this entire time. But you know what? It also has a really cool desk as well as inks and paper I can use to write or draw."
Noa patted her head.
He also squished her cheeks, as they still had baby fat remaining.
’This is the softest thing ever,’ Noa thought, grinning.
"Hey! I told you the girls are waiting, and here you are playing with my cheeks," she scolded suddenly, gesturing for Noa to hurry up.
Noa lowered his head, dejected.
However, he also needed to meet them as soon as possible to talk about the item he would be evacuating from the city.
So, he quickly got ready by taking a quick shower, which left Yun Qiqi pleasantly shocked. It was her first time seeing one, and after using the one in her room, she couldn’t stop talking about it.
Then Noa brushed his teeth and stepped out of his room.
Both Xue Hanly and Qing Xuan remained outside the store, waiting for Noa to let them in.
"Good morning," they greeted with a warm, respectful smile.
Noa nodded slightly.
"Come on in. It’s gonna be a long day ahead of us," he said, allowing the girls to take their respective positions.
Qing Xuan stood close to the counter, arranging a small shelf behind her.
She also checked the machine that scanned the products, making sure that everything looked and worked perfectly.
Hue Xanly didn’t stand idle as well.
She observed the long shelves to check if the products looked striking to the eye.
Yun Qiqi walked between them.
Even she looked busy with her serious expression.
In minutes, the store became livelier, its loud but satisfying atmosphere filling the space.
As for Noa, he examined everything from the sidelines. Still, he had a job to do, which involved investigating what was the most demanding and important item in the Blooming Iron Sect.
Where would he find better candidates when the perfect ones stood before him?
"I have a question," he started, stepping forward.
"Yes?!" Xue Hanly exclaimed, while Qing Xuan narrowed her eyes.
They were surprised by Noa’s approach, especially when he was asking something from them.
"You two are already aware that I will be buying your sect in the near future. I am interested in knowing what the most essential resource your sect can’t function without.
Something so important that everyone—including elders and students alike—uses every day."
His tone was casual, while his face remained unreadable.
Yet he spoke as if nothing could oppose his vision of purchasing their sect.
It sounded like a fact.
An investable reality that would happen sooner rather than later.
As for the question itself, they both had the same—a single item in mind that was by far the most important resource the sect heavily depended on.
"It’s rice," Hue Xanly answered after getting a nod of approval from her senior.
