Chapter 19: Inventory Expansion
Frank’s fingers danced across the system interface, weaving through menus with practiced precision. His apartment was silent, the artificial light from his screens casting sharp shadows on the otherwise empty walls. The clock read 4:37 AM.
Sleep was a luxury he couldn’t afford–not today.
"Time to diversify," he muttered, his voice barely rising above over the hum of his tablet.
The Firefang Queen’s core had deposited 18,500 credits directly into his Association account yesterday afternoon. The balance notification glowed on his screen, demanding action.
Frank pulled up his wholesaler connections and began placing orders. First, electronics: thirty Game Boy consoles with assorted game cartridges—4,200 credits vanished in a single purchase. Next, clothing: sixty pieces ranging from denim jackets to printed hoodies—3,800 credits. Finally, his proven sellers: crates of tomatoes, energy drinks, noodles, and imported candies—10,500 credits.
He set his tablet aside and cracked his knuckles. The real work was about to begin.
The sync field hummed to life as he activated it, a blue circle expanding across his floor. Frank didn’t wait for physical deliveries; the dimensional system didn’t require items to be present. It only needed detailed specifications, images, and confirmation of purchase.
He uploaded the inventory files one by one:
『Game Boy Console (30) -- Added to Inventory』
『Denim Jackets (15) -- Added to Inventory』
『Printed Hoodies (20) -- Added to Inventory』
