Chapter 139: Elf Festival! (2)
I followed Rosemary up the stairs.
After passing the first floor and arriving at the second floor, Rosemary glanced this way and spoke.
“If the first floor is a place where cost-effective items are displayed for upper-level adventurers, the second floor targets mid-level adventurers and sells more specialized equipment.”
“Heh. It certainly looks more upscale. Both the items and the people. But the number of customers has definitely decreased – was it always like this?”
Sure enough, the first floor was filled with customers, creating a rather noisy atmosphere. However, the second floor here probably only had about twenty people at most.
Saying that there are twenty customers, it might seem like a lot, but since the Trading Company building is so large, this is practically nothing.
Speaking in Earth terms… It’s like going to a large department store, and even on a floor selling items with steady demand, there are only about twenty customers.

“Except for a few special cases, the items at the Cradle Trading Company have fixed prices. Take a look at the price list.”
