Kato Megumi was the first to choose her weapon: a pitch-black dagger that radiated a chilling gleam. She held it up and asked Sister Mi, "How much for this dagger?"

Seeing the dagger Kato Megumi had selected, Sister Mi nodded in approval. "This piece is one of the best I have in stock. If you want it, I'll let you have it for 300,000, considering Li Yu."

Hearing the price, Kato Megumi was momentarily stunned. She asked in surprise, "Only 300,000? Won't you be losing money?"

The materials for this weapon were clearly extraordinary. She had seen her brother's weapon, which was made of similar materials, and that one had cost several million to acquire.

Yet this one was only 300,000? Even though it was a dagger and much shorter than her brother's katana, it should surely be worth more than that, right?

"I certainly won't be losing money. Don't worry, how could I possibly run a business at a loss?" Sister Mi smiled slightly. It seemed this young girl knew her stuff; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked about the profit margin.

The materials were things she had scavenged herself, and the weapon had been forged by her husband—how could she lose money? She was still making a profit; it was just a matter of how much.

Selling arms had been the most lucrative business since ancient times, and her shop was no exception. For Li Yu's sake, she was willing to give these girls a discount; who knew what kind of surprises might come from it in the future?

"Alright, I'll take this dagger." Kato Megumi didn't hesitate any further and claimed the weapon immediately. She was getting a bargain; why would she hesitate?

"Uh-huh, just transfer the money to this account number." Seeing this, Sister Mi pulled out a business card and handed it to her. It only had a few lines of text.

Her name, contact information, and bank account details were clearly listed for payments. Kato Megumi took the card and pulled out her phone to initiate the transfer.

While she was busy with the transaction, Yukino Yukinoshita also selected the short sword she wanted, though this weapon was more expensive than Kato Megumi's, costing over 500,000.

The other classmates also made their selections. In this single wave, Sister Mi had brought in several million. Li Yu's classmates were all quite wealthy—everyone except Li Yu, that is.

Even Asuna bought a new rapier. It was better than the one she was currently using, so she bought it; it was the most expensive item of the lot.

Once everyone had purchased their weapons, they headed downstairs. Seeing the weapons in everyone's hands, Li Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself. Rich girls are indeed rich girls; they don't even blink when spending money.

"Thanks for your hard work, Li Yu. If any other classmates need weapons, feel free to refer them here!" Sister Mi looked at Li Yu with a beaming smile; she had made quite a profit today.

"Sure, Sister Mi. If anyone is in need, I'll be sure to send them your way." The quality of the weapons here was top-notch, so Li Yu didn't mind helping her drum up business.

"Hehehe! By the way, I also buy materials. If you have anything to sell, you can come to me. Besides that, if you're looking for spatial equipment, you can come find me too." Sister Mi looked at Asuna and the others, smiling as she dropped this piece of news.

Upon hearing "spatial equipment," Asuna's eyes lit up. She asked with some excitement, "Do you have spatial rings? How big are they? And how much would they cost?"

Spatial equipment was extremely rare in this world. Sometimes, even if you had the money, you couldn't necessarily buy one. Asuna had long wanted to own a piece of spatial equipment of her own.

She had never been able to find a good one, but now that she heard they were available here, she was immediately tempted. She was also shocked—what exactly was the background of Li Yu's "Sister Mi"? How could she even get her hands on such things?

"Spatial rings? I don't have any at the moment. If you want one, I can set one aside for you when I get it, but the materials are too rare, so you'd have to pre-order." Sister Mi shook her head. This girl was truly wealthy.

She went straight for a spatial ring—the materials for those were incredibly hard to come by. And she wanted a large capacity one? That was even rarer, though she could keep an eye out for her.

Hearing this, Asuna felt a bit of regret, but she wasn't too disappointed. Being able to have someone keep an eye out for her was already quite good.

At the very least, there was a chance to buy one, wasn't there? Thinking of this, Asuna immediately said, "Then I'll trouble you to keep an eye out for me, Sister Mi. Please let me know if you come across one!"

"Me too, I want one as well." Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up at this moment. Asuna wanted one, so why wouldn't she? She didn't hesitate to ask for the same favor.

"Alright, no problem. Let's add each other on social media." Sister Mi looked at the two of them with a smile and pulled out her phone, displaying a QR code for them to scan.

Seeing this, Asuna and Yukino Yukinoshita both took out their phones to add Sister Mi as a contact. This was a channel they had to secure. The others, seeing this, also stepped forward to add her.

Even if they didn't have the money to buy a spatial ring right now, having the connection meant they could always come back to buy one once they had the means!

Sister Mi didn't turn any of the girls away and added them all. Once that was done, she said, "Actually, there's no need for you to get a spatial ring right now. If you're looking for a spatial backpack, I have one in stock."

After adding the girls, Sister Mi recommended the spatial equipment she currently had—a spatial backpack with a fairly large capacity.

"A spatial backpack? You have one?" Asuna was immediately tempted. If she couldn't get a ring, a backpack would be a good alternative, and it might even come in handy next Monday.

"I do. If you want it, I can get it for you right now. It's designed for expeditions; it'll make things much easier for you in the wild." Sister Mi smiled as she introduced it to Asuna.

Hearing this, Asuna hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much does it cost? And what is the capacity? Could I take a look at it first?"

She was very interested. A spatial backpack would make things much easier; after all, one had to carry all sorts of supplies into the dungeon, and she didn't want to carry a heavy pack that would hinder her combat performance.

"It's 3x3x3, and the price is a flat 30 million." Sister Mi stated the capacity and the price before turning to head into the back room to retrieve the backpack.

3x3x3 meant three meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high—roughly the size of a room. It could hold a lot of items, and if you folded things down, you could fit quite a significant amount inside.

The price was absurdly high, though. Thirty million—this wasn't something for ordinary people. When Li Yu heard the price, he was already frantically complaining in his heart.

It was just too damn expensive. No wonder they said this stuff was for the rich; an average family could never afford it. If this was the price for a backpack, a spatial ring probably cost hundreds of millions!
