As expected renting a warehouse or even land in sector DS0909 was too expensive. Adding other costs of using the inter-realm network and considering the nature of the business I planned to create, the sky-high rents were not worth it. Making sector DS0909 an unsuitable place for my start-up. Leaving me with no choice but to consider starting my business in some other sector.

I was thinking I should move to one of the sectors recommended to me by the inter-realm city, but then I wondered why not go to a sector where a day was equal to an hour or two in the card world. This way I could take advantage of the time difference between the two realms. This was in line with my business too.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Thinking of this after a lot of searching, I found sector NS7878. A month in this sector was a day and a quarter in the card realm. Meaning an hour in the card realm was equal to a day in the sector NS7878.

[Dear Demon Merchant,

24 hours spent in the sector NS7878 is an hour spent in your native realm. However, the inter-realm network service access time spent will be charged according to the charges of the sector's sharing timezone with your native realm but not the sector NS7878.

Note: The time zones of these sectors are not the same as the time zone of the demon merchant's native realm. Demon merchant will have to offer extra offerings for the difference in the time zones if required.]

"Yes," I affirmed my understanding that even though one day here was just an hour in the card world I still had to pay 1000 low-tier soul jades to spend one day here. It was way better than spending 10,000 low-tier soul jades to spend a day in the sector DS0909.

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Do you want to leave sector DS0909 and move to sector NS7878?

(Yes/No)

Note: You can move to any sector at your convince as long as you offer extra offerings for the difference in the time zones if required.]

"Yes," I answered without hesitation as sector DS0909 may be even considered the capital of the inter-realm city but it was not the best place for me to start my new business venture.

[Dear Demon merchant,

Welcome to sector NS7878…

Note: Behave.]ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Soon I found myself back in the white tunnel where an invisible force carried me to the end of the white tunnel. Then I was once again next to a fancy fountain in the middle of a crossroad. And to my surprise, apart from the fountain the whole sector NS7878 was a barren land.

This meant that nobody has rented a single building or land in this sector so the inter-realm city did not even bother to develop a single property here. The construction of any structure in the inter-realm city was not cheap, everything here was constructed of soul energy created by the devil merchant code. Since no one planned to stay here pouring resources here would be wasteful.

However, this was good news for me because I can rent any land of my choice here which was not an option in the sector DS0909. All of the core areas of sector DS0909 were already occupied or came with a sky-high rent attached to them. And the warehouse or land that I could afford to rent very at the very edge of the sector DS0909 despite that those warehouses and lands had more foot traffic than this sector. But I preferred if there was no foot traffic.

I walked to the sector map board next to the fountain, to check the borders of sector NS7878 but it was undefined however the part that was clearly defined was not more than 100 acres. It seems the devil merchant code not only did not bother to develop any property in this sector but also allocate enough land to it. It was as if sector NS7878 was just to show that such a sector was present in the inter-realm city. I guess the same should be true for other sectors other than those that shared the same time zone as the dark realm.

Currently, I only needed an acre of land. Though I had full confidence in my business venture I did not want to invest a lot at the very start because there were too many variables I had not considered and those that even did not occur to me. So it was best to be cautious than crying over the spoiled milk.

Settling on a piece of land I then used the demon merchant code to rent it,

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Do you want to rent property number 05 for an appropriate offering to the devil merchant code?

(Yes/No)

Note: You will have to offer extra offerings if the case of time zone difference if required.

"Yes." I decisively answered. The concentration of soul energy and rule power in this sector was as dense in the sector DS0909. I did not see a reason why I should not be going through with this.

[Dear Demon Merchant,

The appropriate offering for property Number 05 is 2000 low-tier soul jades per day. Proceed to pay?

(Yes/No)

Note: Check out the property development options to develop the property you have rented.]

"Yes," a rent of 2000 low-tier soul jades per day was a lot but considering the profit margin of my business I have in my mind it was not much.

This also helped me understand why the natives of the realms sharing the same time zone as the sector NS7878 did not rent a property here. If you are paying that amount of rent, then you expect it also yields the same amount of profit otherwise it will only become a big hole in your wallet. Now I see why all the demon merchants gathered at the sectors sharing the same time zone as the dark realm. They had the most foot traffic in the entire inter-realm city not to mention the demon merchants from the dark realm were more financially ahead and capable than the demon merchants not native to the dark realm.
