Hearing Bul Tuh I did not bother to stop and confront him about his scam instead left the pawnshop without even looking back. I know this act showed me in a cowardly light but I did not care because it finally dawned upon me that the reason why demon merchants like Aul and Bul Tuh dared to blatantly scam me was not that I was a demon merchant that was not a native of the dark realm or that I was newbie demon merchant, it was because I was not powerful or a threat enough for them to think twice before trying to scam me.
The only way I can be powerful in the inter-realm city was, if it was not obvious enough, by being rich. Here your personal power levels did not matter as with enough money you can get one of the myriad realm's most powerful beings, Devil Merchant Code, to act as your thug. Only when you have enough net worth to gain Devil Merchant Code's attention will be considered a threat by the demon merchants in the inter-realm city.
Let's face the facts if I want to buy a pawned realm token of a resource-filled realm with weak natives it will cost me my entire net worth. But I would not buy realm tokens if it meant emptying all the fortune I have gathered. So, there was no point in spending another second in the pawnshop.
If I bargained and hackled with Bul Tuh I can get a realm token of some backward realm whose total resources were drained for a small fortune, that was my plan when I first entered the pawnshop but later it dawned on me that it was not worth wasting my money over. Instead, I could use that money as seed money to prop up my own business in the inter-realm city. And I knew just the right business for me. As for the Tuh Merchant Goblin tribe, I will settle my score at a later date.
Walking out of the pawnshop I directly headed to the Infinity library on the ground floor of the mall. Entering the library I was immediately greeted by Dredre my library guide, "Wyatt, welcome back. I did not expect you to be back so early. What can I help you with?"

"I need every book available on various intermediate soul energy and rule power gathering and distribution arrays. Also the books on how to cultivate phantom sword mushrooms," I report the books I needed Dredre to locate for me. And yes, these books had more to do with the business I was planning on.
"Got it, I have shared the list with your demon merchant codex. Select the books you want and share the list with me so I can make the arrangements," In less than a breath Dredre made a list of books that meet my requirement and shared it with me.
"Thanks," Thanking Dredre I began to go through the list of books that she shared with me, there were about 2,470 books that meet all three of my requirements. 2,070 were on intermediate soul energy and rule power gathering and distribution arrays. And the remaining four hundred were on how to cultivate phantom sword mushrooms.
Dredre looked curiously at the boy as he seriously went through the list of books she shared with him because none of the other clients she attended to ever thanked her for her service but this one did and she felt appreciated it. This was a new feeling for her.
"Dredre, take me to the study room," I ordered Dredre after sharing the list of the books that I wanted to read with her.
This time I did not shorten the number of books by a lot because since I was planning to start a business using this knowledge I thought it would be best if I had everything these books had to offer so I only removed the books that were duplicates of the other books but in different language bring the number of the books down to 2017. About 1650 books on array formation and 367 on how to cultivate phantom sword mushrooms.
Soon Dredre used the library's array to teleport me to the study room, "You know the rules your free reading time starts as soon as you touch one of the books."
Looking at the neatly arranged 2017 books on the bookshelves I split my spiritual body into four and ordered, "Dredre, get me four tranquility drinks."
I know tranquility drink was not cheap, four of them cost 8,000 low-tier soul jades but it was worth it because they help me copy the books faster. Compared to every minute I save in my monthly free book reading period 8,000 low-tier soul jades were worth nothing.
Dredre instantly summoned four tranquility drinks, after drinking them page by page, cover to cover I and my three mutated consciousnesses copied each of the 2017 books on the bookshelves in under 4 minutes. With this, I was left with about 50 minutes of my monthly free book reading period, "Dredre pause my free reading period let's save it for later."
"Got it," Dredre immediately paused the counter and then asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Walk me to the exit," I said knowing Dredre would walk me to the exit anyway.
"Thank you, Dredre," I thanked Dredre for her splendid customer service walking out of the library and then following the crowd exiting the Dariaus merchant mall I came to the street in front of the mall.
Next, I planned to use the demon merchant codex to rent a warehouse or land, warehouse preferably since I wanted to set up my business there but let's see if I can afford to rent a warehouse or land in sector DS0909 otherwise, I will move to one of the sectors recommended to me by the inter-realm city and set up my business there.
