The reconstruction was complete. Felix landed on top of the castle and admired the view. Standing on the rooftop, he discovered many ruined houses and a half-collapsed mansion, which Felix had plowed using a tank.
Counting the number of ruined houses and wall sections in need of repair, Felix accounted for a total of 72 places, which required 72 charges of a dim-grade philosopher stone.
With the philosopher stones in stock, Felix had no issue splurging so for the sake of gaining trust. He flew over to the damaged structures and repaired them, one at a ti.
Felix didn't stop there. As he believed so innocent civilians might have recently been killed by Brag Swan's troops, he visited every house and shelter, asking to see corpses and injured people in this city.
Using philosopher stones he had, he resurrected the victims, healed the injured, and restored destroyed buildings. He even blessed every priestess or paladin who seed to be older than 25, restoring their youthful appearances.
Gold light beacon flashed every ti Felix used the philosopher stone. More civilians, priestesses, and paladins witnessed the miracle.
Just in ti, the captives that Felix had rescued earlier returned to the city, following the beacons of light. When they found Felix, they cheered, praising him.
"The savior is here!"
"…The benefactor." Experience more tales on m v|l e'-
More people noticed him. Many all followed the other's examples—Kneeling and praying to Felix, treating him as an emissary of the goddess.
…
The restoration lasted all night. When the sun was up, Felix finished restoring the south gate, which Diana's convoy had blasted through.
Felix stood on top of the rampart, checking the remaining charges and his stock of philosopher stones. He also updated the store, wondering if Wu Buyi had restocked his supply yet.

That man was quick. Felix chuckled, finding this store owner's hardworking attitude admirable and praiseworthy. Again, he wondered why people review-bombed his store to oblivion when his products were so good.
As Felix was about to empty the stock again, the system store sent him a private ssage.
Curious, Felix pressed it, opening the ssage nu. When the ssage popped up, he was surprised. It ca from the store owner "Wu Buyi".
Felix was interested. But half of him stopped his impulse as he might not need that many philosopher stones for the upcoming scenario quests or his daily usage.
In addition, he hoped for a more advanced philosopher stone, such as the fine-grade ones.
Fine Philosopher Stones had more charges than the dim counterpart. Its effects were closely the sa, but so usage options were a lot more efficient. For example, it cost 10 charges to upgrade one item to the next tier, but it would only consu five charges for Fine-grade stone.
Felix made his decision. He chose not to accept the deal.
However, the ssage ca with an attachnt, a wholesale catalog. Since it didn't hurt to read it, Felix spent a few minutes to check it out.

At a glance, the price was a lot cheaper than purchasing them individually. He would get a 90% discount if he purchased in bulk.
Nothing was free in this world. Felix suspected that there might be a hidden condition or a shady clause that ca with this deal. As Felix doubted Wu Buyi's motive, he scanned through the 1-star reviews, checking why his custors were mad at him.
[1-Star Review]
- Do not get greedy and purchase the bulk sales from this vendor. All philosopher stones are not fully charged. Those are second-hand philosopher stones.
[1-Star Review]
- Wu Buyi DM'ed and offered a wholesale discount. I bought a thousand sturdy philosopher stones, hoping to expand my business. But I got cracked philosopher stones among the batch. One of which exploded when I used it.
[1-Star Review]
- Watch out for shady private ssages. If you need a philosopher stone, buy one from the system store. Do not accept private trades!
Sure enough, the clues were there from the very beginning. Because of his shady deals, he got review-bombed.
Still, Felix sat down and calculated the pros and cons of purchasing defective goods. Even if every philosopher stone from the wholesale only had one charge, he would get 1,000 charges to use them, which was not different from purchasing 10 fully-charged stones.
But then again, Felix would not be able to use extra perks that required multiple charges to use. At best, they were useful for small tasks or be thrown away as rewards for his subordinates.
Rewards for his subordinates?
Felix rubbed his chin. It wasn't such a bad deal if he needed sothing precious to give others. With that many stones, he motivated his workers to work harder, especially the dwarf. He might even need one of them to duplicate more beers.
As Felix had so cash to spend, he accepted the private trade agreent. At the bottom of the ssage, there was another attached file, which was a private order form. Felix opened it, and Jessica appeared, asking him.
