"Day 10, Night. The human archer is alone outside the city gate.

You kill him."

"Day 11, These past few days, the stall has been managed by the Kun Fire Ape, earning over two hundred Blazing Fire Coins.

Under your persuasion, it has placed all the Blazing Fire Coins with you.

And you have been frequenting the Blazing Fire Hall, searching for suitable stalls to purchase."

"Day 12, You have been targeted by humans.

You know they've noticed you buying a large number of stalls in a short period.

Within the city, they can't do anything to you, and you pay them no mind, swaggering around the city.

You return to the stall.

No customers arrive.

The Evil Fire Ape is being pulled to the back by the Kun Fire Ape for lessons.

These days, they have been in the room behind the stall, receiving instruction in human Common Tongue from the Kun Fire Ape, and you occasionally give them a lecture as well.

……

Night.

A dozen humans gather in front of your stall.

You glance at them, all Rank 3 Level 9 and Rank 3 Level 10.

Several of them are staring intently at you.

You guess they are members of the Left and Right Pillars Mercenary Group.

The Kun Fire Ape and Evil Fire Ape are terrified and dare not move.

You look at the stall, completely surrounded, and ignore them, walking directly into the room behind the stall.

The room has no door, and it can be seen from the outside.

The crowd in front of the stall stares directly at you.

According to the rules of Blazing Fire City, they cannot enter the area behind the stall without your permission.

After watching you for a while, they leave."

"Day 13, The crowd comes to your stall again.

Your stall is completely surrounded.

You see a pair of humans and magical beasts wanting to trade with you being scared away.

Seeing this, a coldness arises in your heart.

You are just about to think of a way to drive them away when a cold shout appears, 'What are you doing?!'

The crowd immediately makes way.

You see the incredibly strong Crimson Smoke Bear and the petite human female, Defraya, come through the path to your stall.

Seeing Defraya, the crowd is immediately in an uproar, whispering to each other.

But you can tell they seem very afraid of this person named Defraya.

Defraya takes out a bead, looks at you with a smile, 'Mysterious Slime, can you help me tell it that this bead is priced at five thousand Blazing Fire Coins?'

Five thousand?!

The surrounding humans crane their necks, seemingly wanting to see what it is.

But, obviously, they can't figure it out.

You are stunned looking at the bead; there is nothing special about it.

You can't feel a trace of magical fluctuation on the bead.

You don't ask any questions.

You know a qualified businessman must keep his mouth shut.

You tell the Crimson Smoke Bear directly.

……

In the course of more than ten minutes of translation work.

Defraya and the Crimson Smoke Bear's transaction ends, with the Crimson Smoke Bear buying the mysterious bead for two Vermillion Fire Source Fruits plus five hundred Blazing Fire Coins.

You get a commission of fifty Blazing Fire Coins.

Before leaving, Defraya glances at the surrounding crowd, a smile appearing on her beautiful face, looking at you, 'Slime, I can help you settle this, for only five hundred Blazing Fire Coins.'

The surrounding crowd is instantly stunned; they look at Defraya in horror, but don't say anything.

You shake your head.

Defraya leaves with a smile, together with the Crimson Smoke Bear.

The crowd surrounds your stall again, the bearded captain of the Left and Right Pillars Mercenary Group looking at you with a ferocious expression, 'You refused her; you won't have another chance to do business!'

You glance at him and directly put all the stall permits you bought from the Blazing Fire Hall onto the stall.

You look at them with a smile, 'As far as I know, some of you seem to want a stall, but have been struggling to find a suitable one.'

'I have the best located stalls in the entire Blazing Fire City here.'

Several people in the crowd are tempted, '…How many Blazing Fire Coins?'

You hold up a finger.

'One hundred!!!'

'Give me a few!'

You look at the speaker like he's an idiot, 'One thousand, minimum.'

That person instantly gets angry, 'Why don't you just rob us!!!'

You look at him with an innocent expression, 'Robbing is against the rules in Blazing Fire City.'

'I……'

The speaker glares at you fiercely.

Another person speaks up, pointing to one of the stall permits, 'This one……'

You glance at the permit he's pointing at and immediately say, 'This is adjacent to the Blazing Fire Hall, with three main roads, and the entrance to the city right in front, the location is extremely good……'

He listens to you in a daze for three minutes about how good this stall is, and several people in the crowd are also tempted by what you said, wanting to speak up.

Seeing this, he quickly stops you, 'Say it! How many Blazing Fire Coins!'

You look at him, beaming, 'A fixed price, one thousand five!'

Veins popping, he glares at you, 'Why don't you just……'

He suddenly stops talking, his gaze shifting to the person who asked the price earlier.

His gaze returns to the stall.

Although you exaggerated a lot, this stall is indeed good.

'I don't have that many Blazing Fire Coins.'

You glance at him, 'This shop also supports barter.'

Without waiting for him to ask, you continue, 'Skill books, treasures that magical beasts can use, etc., are all acceptable.'

Skill books?

The crowd is stunned for a moment.

'What would a magical beast do with a skill book?'

'Maybe it wants to learn?'

'Are you stupid, or is this slime stupid? Magical beasts can't learn with skill books at all; they're not designed for magical beasts.'

Hearing this, your heart stirs.

The crowd doesn't say anything more.

They aren't fools; they think you want to resell the skill books.

'Any attribute is fine?'

You finally take the person in front of you seriously.

Wearing a top hat, he was in the crowd earlier and hadn't spoken; although he had been at the stall, he had always been on the more marginal edge of the crowd.

You look at him and nod, 'Any will do, but it has to be of good quality; ordinary skills are also fine, but won't fetch a good price.'

The top-hatted man takes out a skill book, 'See if this works?'

You see the words 'Vine Entanglement' written on the skill book.

The top-hatted man says, 'This is a Rank 4 skill book; it's very valuable. It's okay if it doesn't work.'

Rank 4 skill book?

The surrounding crowd is shocked by this skill.

'Rank 4 skill book?! To think I could see such a powerful skill!'

'Fool, haven't even seen a Rank 4 skill before!'

‘……’

Their gazes stop on the top-hatted man, and after a moment, someone exclaims, 'It's Mu Sidi!'

Mu Sidi?

Hearing this name, you are a bit curious.

Soon, the words of the surrounding crowd let you know the identity of this top-hatted man.

A human contestant in this Blazing Fire Ceremony.

His strength is very strong, and his background seems to be very strong as well; after the surrounding crowd knows his identity, they are all extremely wary.
