Now that I had an idea about how to use the demon merchant codex''s functions, I decided to use the inter-realm search function to search for a meteorite or a realm in the card world''s vicinity.
Yes, I can use the inter-realm search function to search for big meteorites full of resources in the vicinity of the card world and mine them. I learned this application of the inter-realm search function through the articles.
The demon merchant codex doesn''t inform you of this application of inter-realm search function or report the finding of a meteorite but if you specify this specifically during the search then it was possible to use the inter-realm search and transportation functions to mine a meteorite for resources.
To think demon merchants would be able to achieve space mining through devil merchant code who knows how long it would have taken me to think of this application of the inter-realm search and transportation if not for reading it in the articles.
Meteorite mining was the main reason why I was opting to try out the inter-realm search function of the demon merchant codex instead of visiting the inter-realm city.
As for finding a realm, I did not hold my breath on that. Because if there were realms in the vicinity of the card realm then they would have been already found by Belphegor and other demon/devil merchants that had been to this world.
ording to the devil merchant code whoever finds a realm first gets to own the coordinates of that realm making it so that others can''t find it on their inter-realm search of course this was only possible by giving the devil merchant code an appropriate offering.
Therefore I was quite sure that the first demon/devil merchant to discover this realm must have already located most of the realms in its vicinity. So it did not make sense for me to waste my fortune on running the inter-realm search for light-years just toe up with nothing. This situation was true for all the new generation of demon merchants because their predecessors had already found all realms in the vicinity of their native realm.
This was especially true for the demon/devil merchants from dark races and tribes in the dark realm. So when most of the realms were already monopolized by older generations of the demon and devil merchants the desperate ones got creative leading to the discovery of using inter-realm search and transportation functions to achieve meteorite mining.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Not to mention that meteorite mining was easier and hassle-free than conducting trade with natives of other realms. All you had to do was find a big meteorite using the inter-realm search function and then take a gamble that the meteorite discovered had enough resources to cover the cost of two-way inter-realm transportation and excavation and a sizeable profit for your efforts.
Some meteorites are usually just big chunks of rock floating in space or do not have enough resources to cover the cost of two-way inter-realm transportation. Meteorite Mining was a huge gamble. Many demon merchants and devil merchants have gone bankrupt and lost their souls to the devil merchant code by risking their entire worth on mining a meteorite. But there were also lucky once who had earned a lifetime of wealth just by mining a meteorite. Making it a very addictive trend.
ording to what I have read in the articles the inter-realm city has many auction houses where they auction high-valued meteorites and meteorites with rare resources. And also sell low-valued meteorites. They excavate both auctioned and sold meteorites on spot for free just to give their customers the thrill of gambling.
The auction house sets the base price for each meteorite based on the valuation suggested by their in-house meteorite appraisal expert. These experts were able to judge the value of a meteorite by appraising the rock and metals that make the crust of the meteorite.
No one can actually guarantee the actual valuation of a meteorite because no one knows how much and what resources a meteorite has in its core and how much the resources mined will be worth just by looking at its surface. Regardless this made a fun gambling game for demon and devil merchants to indulge in regardless of its addictive factor.
Since nobody can question their valuation, it was not a surprise that the auction houses provide free meteorite mining services to each of their customers. As they say in the casinos, ''the house always wins.''
I did not n to gamble, I just want to experience meteorite mining because as someone who invested my time and energy into creating a sessful space program that would allow us to sessfully mine big meteorites for rare resources but had to leave it unfinished and iplete because ofplicated circumstances, this was my dreame true.
And if I happen to find more meteorites in the inter-realm search then I will just sell the extra meteorite to the auction house.
Rich demon and devil merchants love topete with each other by gambling on meteorites, making a huge market for meteorites. But this also meant that the auction houses will not buy any meteorites demon merchants bring to their doorsteps. They only buy meteorites if the said meteorite meets their standards and gets a satisfactory valuation from their in-house meteorite appraisal experts.
With this thought in mind, I ess the inter-realm search function of the demon merchant page, while giving it specificmands. That was to search for massive meteorites within the one-tenth light-years radius of my native realm. I had no idea how many meteorites I will find within the one-tenth light-years distance of this card world using the inter-realm search but even if I were to find a single meteorite then I would consider myself lucky. Since the other demon and devil merchants have already found this realm I would not be surprised that they had already found, bought, and excavated or sold all the meteorites within a light-year distance of this realm.
