With help of devil merchant code's shop renovation feature, I divided the warehouse into three sections. And then I used it to create soul constructs of materials I needed to set up three pseudo-natural soul energy gathering array formations.

Pseudo-natural array formation was the reason why I made a stop at the library before coming here. With the data, I already had in array mastery, the creation of an efficient soul energy gathering array formation was not a problem but I did not want to create a normal soul energy gathering formation I wanted to create a Pseudo-natural array formation for which the data had was not enough hence I made visited the library.

Pseudo-natural array formations were totally different from standard array formations. The reason was that pseudo-natural array formations were self-sufficient, making them easy to maintain and they did not require an energy source, especially in environments rich in soul energy.

This was why I preferred to arrange the three soul energy gathering array formations as pseudo-natural array formations instead of normal array formations. With pseudo-natural array formation, I did not have to periodically visit to check on and maintain the three soul energy gathering array formations instead I could visit them when I was free just to collect the edible liquid spirit energy they have gathered.

This saves me a lot of time and manpower. Especially, considering that the time in this sector passes 24 times faster than in the card realm which meant if I choose to set up these three soul energy gathering array formations as normal array formations instead of the pseudo-natural array formations I would have to stop everything I am doing in the card world every couple hours and visit the sector NS7878 to check on the array formations and give them daily or weekly maintenance. Which would be a hassle so even if I had to use a few minutes of my library's monthly free reading hour, I did not hesitate to as in a long term I stood to gain more.

Within a few hours, I had set up each of the three pseudo-natural soul energy gathering array formations in their respective sections of the warehouse. Now all I had to do was wait for the three pseudo-natural array formations to work their magic.

However, this wait was going to be long as according to the simulation conducted by the Hive AI each array formation will require an hour to gather about 10ml of the liquid soul energy. This was just a rough estimate, it may take longer. In this soul-energy-rich environment, it took a pseudo-natural array formation so long just to gather 10ml of liquid soul energy so it was not a surprise that the liquid soul energy was scarce in the card world.

After checking on the three array formations a few times, I decided to leave and head to a sector sharing the time zone and rule powers with card world, the recommended sectors by the inter-realm network. To set up my other business over there.

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Do you want to leave sector NS7878 and move to sector ES0012?

(Yes/No)

Note: You are entering a recommended sector so standard offering practice will be followed.]

"Yes"

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Using spirit transfer array to travel from sector NS7878 to sector ES0012…

Note: Spirit transfer array takes the demon merchant's spiritual body that has entered it and transfers them to the inter-realm city.]

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Welcome to sector ES0012…

Note: Behave.]

Once again being carried out of the white tunnel by an invisible force I appeared next to a fountain. I looked around sector ES0012 from where I stood, It was no different than sector NS7878. It was also a barren land without a single property or any sign of development.

Shaking my head I walked around the fountain to look at the sector ES0012's map board but stopped in my tracks seeing a small red figure curled up on the ground next to it and sleeping soundly. After taking a clear look at the sleeping red-skinned creature I was astonished as it was the same Red-Clad Dwarf I came across in sector DS0909. What the fuck was it doing here?

Thanks to the myriad realm race record this time I exactly knew which race and realm it belonged to. Its race was called Redfoot and it hailed from a realm called Red Alps.

Seeing how the Redfoot was here it seems that the Realm of Red Alps and Realm of Cards seem to share the same time zone and rules as the sector ES0012. I could be wrong about this as I had concluded this based on my observation as there was no mention of this Myriad realm race record.

As I suspected earlier its age was considered very young in its race, similar to 10 to 12 years old in human years, explaining its immaturity and ignorance. To become a demon merchant at such a young age was it a blessing or a curse? I don't know but why the fuck is it sleeping here on the ground? Did it transfer its entire spirit to the spirit plane just to sleep?

Putting my surprise aside I looked closely at the I saw that the energies in the surroundings were being absorbed by the spiritual body of the young Redfoot. It appears it seems to have some kind of peculiar ability that allowed it to observe energies from the surroundings and enhance its spiritual body in its sleep. There was no mention of this ability of Redfoot in the Myriad Realm Race Records.

Now that was one dope technique. What impressed me, even more, was the Redfoot did not bother to rent land in the sector and just went to sleep right next to the fountain. I know it was a bit reckless but considering that the demon merchants rarely visit the sectors of the inter-realm city that do not share the same time zone as the dark realm it was understandable.

The Redfoot suddenly opened its eyes, as if it was subconsciously alerted by my presence. Then it immediately jumped and stood on its big feet and glared at me like a wild beast. I was about to try and explain to it that I did not mean any harm but it vanished, I believe it chose to leave the inter-realm city.
