[Welcome to Inter-realm search,
Request: Find asteroids and ma.s.sive meteorites within a one-tenth light-years radius of the native realm.
Do you want to calculate the appropriate offering required to conduct the search?
(Yes/No)
Note: Be specific about your inter-realm search request to get better pricing.]
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Yes," after answering I realized I was cashing a check that my entire network plus my soul and body could not cash. A light-year meant the distance traveled by light in a year which was about 5,879 trillion miles. Even a tenth of it was still a freaking 587.9 trillion miles, now that"s a lot. I would not be surprised if the demon merchant codex demands an insane amount of offerings to execute my search request.
[Dear Demon Merchant,
Calculating the appropriate offering required to conduct the search… ETA: 4seconds
Note: Be specific about your inter-realm search request to get better pricing.]
Having read in the articles on the basics of the demon merchant codex that the devil merchants usually search a light-year radius around a certain realm I thought the offering required to conduct a search of that scale should not be a lot considering how cheap demon and devil merchants can be but when I thought about it for a second I realized my mistake.
[Dear Demon Merchant,
The offering required to commence your inter-realm search request is 5.879 million trillion low-tier soul jades.

Do you want the inter-realm search to proceed with your search request?
(Yes/No)
Note: For large transactions, the devil merchant code provides various payment options including numerous loan options.]
"No," I immediately retracted my search request. 5.879 million trillion low-tier soul jades, I don"t know if I can find that amount of soul jades even if I mine every dungeon on the surface of this card world.
At least with this, I confirmed that the Devil merchant code"s inter-realm search function charges 1000 low-tier soul jades to conduct a search request of a mile radius around the realm.
That may sound cheap but considering that moon of this world was several hundred thousand miles away from its surface and if I wanted to find an asteroid or ma.s.sive meteor I would have to go further than the moon I should be conducting a search of at least a half million-mile radius around the realm, which would end up costing me a billion low tier soul jades. I don"t think even the southern royal family or the central government can afford this expense let alone an orphaned high schooler.
No wonder all the articles on the basics of demon merchant codex that I bought on the inter-realm network did not mention the about price of using the inter-realm search. If they did then they would have crushed the dreams of all the newbie demon merchants who had dreamt about conquering various realms.
I can not imagine the wealth the devil merchants should have for them to conduct a search of a light-year radius around the realms. I suddenly felt like a frog at the bottom of a well as even the wealth I could have acc.u.mulated with the sales of silver milk power had the silver beach dungeon not been stolen would not be enough.
From the looks of it, my plans to excavate an asteroid would have to wait for me to acc.u.mulate some serious wealth. Shaking my head dejectedly as I had lost all the enthusiasm I had about exploring the various functions of the demon merchant codex.
"f.u.c.k!" I cussed in my mind out of frustration because it became clear to me that I did not have the wealth to use the inter-realm search and transportation function of the demon merchant codex.
How did the devils acc.u.mulate that much wealth? I wondered, unable to let go. But then it all made sense to me. If I were to conduct a search of a 5,879 trillion miles radius around the card world for the first time using the inter-realm search then I cannot imagine how many realms, asteroids, and ma.s.sive meteorites would end up finding. I bet by selling the asteroids and the ma.s.sive meteors alone I would be able to acc.u.mulate more wealth than what I spent on conducting such a large-scale search. Not to forget the wealth I could get from the new realms I found during the search.
Thinking of this I finally understood why the new articles on the basics of the demon merchant codex complained about the older generation of demon and devil merchants monopolizing most of the devil merchant code. No newbie demon merchant can afford the cost of searching an asteroid let alone a realm unless they were backed by some bigshot demon or devil merchant. Come to think of it one of the articles did mention there being organizations that would employ new demon merchants.
All hope was not lost when it came to traveling to various realms, the articles did mention that there were other ways for a demon merchant to go to foreign realms such as joining an organization, serving a devil merchant, buying a Realm Token, or the one widely used by the demon and devil merchants of the dark realm to use the realm traveling technique developed their ancestor to get the coordinates of various realms and then inputting those coordinates to their demon merchant codex.
Earlier I did not give this section that much attention since I thought I would be fine using the inter-realm search function but now facing reality I had to give these methods a second thought. The demon merchants of the dark races of the dark realm use their tribe"s realm traveling method to get around the insane pricing of the devil merchant code but the demon merchants that were not from the dark realm such as myself did not have this option.
Joining an organization of demon/devil merchants or serving a devil merchant were not the options for me but I can consider buying realm tokens but it was not going to be cheap or…
