Weapon seller in the world of magic

Ever since Song Yue ran away from home, she was basically out of touch with the current affairs of the kingdom and used to depend on Lin Xue to know anything that is happening outside of the store.

Lin Xue was also aware of it. That's why she had gathered various pieces of news through her servants before making her visit.

For a while, she was telling her the developments that were happening around. Song Yue also appeared to be very curious and she patiently listened to everything, expressing her views from time to time.

But, eventually, the heiress of Lin had to bring up the most sensitive topic for Song Yue as she felt that her friend deserved to know, "Your father had received a life imprisonment sentence of 213 years on various charges. The clan elders turned against him."

However, to her surprise, Song Yue didn't even flinch at the matter. She simply nodded, "One can't escape from karma. Everyone has to face the consequences of their actions."

Lin Xue felt neither hatred nor love in her friend's voice. It was as if Song Yue was commenting about a random stranger.

She then said, "Look, you know me. I'm always on your side. It's just my father told me that uncle Song's sentence can be reduced by 24 years if you and Lu Zhen decide to forgive him. Of course, it doesn't help your father's situation. 189 years or 213 Years, both are the same either way but I want you to know that you had that choice."

Song Yue shook her head in response, "The previous me would have probably chosen it without hesitation but now, I no longer wanted to."

Lin Xue stared at her in silence. She felt like her friend's heart was probably broken by Song Yun's act. She no longer dwelled on the topic and started talking about something else.

After they had breakfast together, Lin Xue returned home while Song Yue sat at the reception desk as the manager. Mark was too free. So, he used the time to create those expensive 9mm bullets just to keep the stock.

Some time passed away. Chang Bo came to work at 9 o'clock as always and Shang Jiao came to work at 11 o'clock. There were a few customers before noon and she and Chang Bo worked together, giving the Androids, especially Allen, plenty of rest.

After the lunch break, the business hours continued at 1 o'clock.

Roughly about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the second prince made a visit to the store.

Mark's face glowed in happiness to see his number one customer. Usually, Song Yue or Chang Bo greets a customer but Shang Wen was greeted by Mark.

"Welcome to Genesis Weapon Store, Your Highness"

After staying with him for several days, Song Yue could somehow discern his expressions. And she was confident that it was a genuine one. Maybe, it's because of the engagement gift?

What was in that scroll? Song Yue forgot about it because of everything that happened after that.

But, now, she really couldn't help but be curious.

The second prince then stated the reason for his visit.

"They were already packed," replied Mark with a smile. He then glanced at the teenager, "Chang Bo, go to the storage room and bring the boxes kept in the left corner. Shang Jiao, you go and help him." He also sent his sister along with the welpire to carry the boxes. After all, she needed to finish her punishment, right?

One after another, both of them brought about 100 small boxes with each one containing an Ak-47. Once all of them were absorbed by Shang Wen's storage ring, Mark started walking toward the exit, "please follow me to the training ground."

The second prince nodded in understanding and followed him to the large empty barren land inside a compound wall with wire fencing on top.

One after another, Mark then started taking out Panzers one after another. After Shang Wen absorbed 50 of them into his storage ring, Mark then took out three large crates from his inventory and placed them on the ground. These weren't different from the usual sturdy metal boxes that Mark hand it to the customers.

The wooden crates were bought from a furniture store as the system-made boxes were usually small. Last time, he had to give more than a hundred of them for those 5000 (9mm) and 2000 (0.5 in) ammunition. While the system gives him free for packaging the weapons, it would cost him 50 silver coins to pack bullets in them.

So, he decided to order three crates. One of them has 5000 rounds (9mm), the second one has 2000 rounds (R.I.P), and the final crate has 3000 rounds (7.62mm).

The second prince cannot count the bullets as he did with the Ak-47s and Panzers as they were too many in number. Instead, he decided to trust Mark's work ethics and kept them in his storage ring.

And from finishing this order, Mark earned about 24000 gold coins as his share (60% of 40000 gold coins) and then firmly shook hands with the second prince, "It's always pleasant to do business with you."

Shang Wen smiled in return and then took out a scroll from his storage ring, "actually, my visit has another purpose. Before you read it, let me tell you that you don't have to accept this proposal from the Imperial Palace. Even if you reject it, we will completely understand."

"What is it?" Mark turned curious as he took the scroll and opened it right away. Upon reading the letter, he asked curiously, "What is this seed of fire?"

"Eh? You never heard of it?" Shang Wen didn't expect that someone as powerful as Mark have no knowledge about the fire seed. Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and calmly explained, "Legend tells that at the beginning of time, the universe was whole and everything is located in one plane of existence.

The worlds are very rich in spiritual energy and it used to be quite easy for the mortals (beasts & intelligent races) to become Demigods and immortals. As bunches of Saints (12-circle) and Junior gods (13-circle) emerged, the authority of the original gods who were born from the cosmos was challenged.

So, what will they do? The mortals have a high rate of reproduction. The Elder Gods might be invincible but they care more about the universe. So, the original Gods (celestials) who were born of either cosmos or from the Elder Gods decided to bring apocalypses to several worlds for population control.

But, violence only gives birth to violence. The rebels rose. They started killing weak celestials and their descendants.

So, in the end, to bring peace to everything, the Elder gods (15-circle realm) decided to make planes of existence.

And in the process of creating them, they offended a sleeping devil that possesses anti-divine energy.

The battle was so intense that it almost brought the entire universe to the brink of destruction. The devil was dead but the gods couldn't escape unscathed either. It is said that every once in a while, they bleed one drop of blood even to date.

When that single drop of blood falls onto a piece of land, the world will try to nourish it using various methods. When that happens, unnatural phenomena around the impact zone would be seen for the next 10 years of time. Once time passed, it will give birth to an elemental seed.

However, the earth goddess is a greedy one. She only nourishes the divine blood so that she could eat up the elemental seed. Most of the time, the elemental seeds will just return to earth.

But, the cultivators had discovered that the seed will be absorbed by the earth only after it becomes mature. And this gives a gap of roughly 37 minutes for cultivators to snatch it for themselves.

According to public knowledge, an elemental seed will be able to nourish one's ether energy, giving the corresponding elemental attribute to the user, or nourish it further if the user already possessed the elemental attribute. In rare cases, those seeds can even awaken the hidden bloodline present within the body of a user.

Coming to the seed of fire, while it is extremely useful to the Imperial family, it is also a fact that we don't possess the capability of snatching it with several legendary realm experts from around the world eyeing for the treasure.

As stated in the letter, we need your assistance. Whatever the reward you want, we can negotiate."

Mark stared at him in silence for a while. He wasn't pondering on the matter but was waiting for the quest notification. However, even after a minute of waiting, the system didn't issue any emergency notification.

As he could just buy the attributes with credits, Mark wasn't that interested in this fire seed. The fact that there's no reward from the system for this task only decreased his motivation.

But then again, the Prince is a VIP customer. Mark cannot reject him in the face just like he does with others. So, he acted like he was analyzing the risks and merits.

The second prince observed him in silence for a couple of minutes. Seeing that Mark wasn't responding, he spoke, "Lu Zhen, yesterday, I gave you a 1 million gold coins worth order for my firearms division. However, if you accomplish this task, Emperor Shang is ready to give you a promissory note, stating that the Imperial Army will buy atleast 100 million gold coins worth of goods from your store within the next 5 years of time."

"100 million?"
