Without wasting a single second, Luis immediately opened the system interface floating in front of him and tapped the Market icon. The window expanded smoothly, showing the familiar layout he had seen before. "First things first, I need to check the Buy tab properly and see how the prices have changed," he muttered to himself, his eyes scanning rapidly over the list of items being offered. "It's only been two days since everyone arrived in this world, but with how desperate people are getting, things must have shifted a lot already. I need to know the market rate before I put my own things up for sale, otherwise I might end up losing out or pricing it too high that nobody buys." As he read through the messages one by one, his eyes gradually went wider and wider, and he couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air. The numbers displayed there were completely different from what he had seen just yesterday, and the change was absolutely shocking. - Selling 20 Logs in exchange for 1 Piece of Bread! Fresh and filling, don't miss it! - Selling 26 Logs for 1 Cup of Clean Drinking Water! Life saving supply, only a few left! - Selling 30 Stones for 1 Piece of Bread! Hard but edible, can last long time! - Selling Unknown Wild Fruit! Only exchange for food or water, no other trades accepted! "Wow! It's only day two! Only two days have passed and the price of food and water has already skyrocketed like this?!" Luis exclaimed loudly, clicking his tongue repeatedly in disbelief. "Yesterday you could get a lot more for the same amount of resources, but now? Bread and water have become more precious than gold! Everyone is panicking for real, no wonder the prices are rising so fast. In just another day or two, I'm afraid even these prices won't be enough anymore." He crossed his arms over his chest and thought carefully, and slowly a confident and smug smile appeared on his face. He had already realized his huge advantage compared to everyone else. "My own supply of bread and water is very limited. If I trade those away now, even though I can get a lot of materials, I will be the one suffering later when I have nothing left to eat or drink. That's definitely not worth it," Luis analyzed calmly. "But what I have plenty of is meat! And it's not just any ordinary meat either! This is high quality meat from a Level 20+ Rampage Bull! It's way bigger, stronger, and more nutritious than any wild animal or small beast people can find out there! Compared to dry bread or unknown fruits, my meat (Bull's meat) is like premium top grade goods! It's definitely worth way more than what others are selling!" The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt like he had found a golden opportunity that nobody else had. "But wait, if I sell it in big chunks like 1 kilogram per trade, that's way too expensive. Most people don't have that many resources to exchange at once, so very few will buy it. That's such a waste," Louis said to himself, frowning slightly. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh hard. "Oh right! I should cut it into small pieces! Make each portion small enough so everyone can afford it, but sell many portions! That way I can sell more volume and get way more resources overall! This idea is brilliant!" But to cut meat properly, he needed a tool. He couldn't tear it apart with his hands, that would be messy, waste a lot of good meat, and also take too much energy and time. So he quickly rummaged through his inventory space, and soon found the item he was looking for. He took out a thin piece of leather parchment. It looked old but well preserved, and right in the middle there was a clear drawing of a stone axe. As soon as it appeared in his hand, the system description automatically popped up.
