God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Clark was the exact same copy of Keith's "ideal" persona, someone who he hoped he could be but was unable to. He hadn't realised it for a long time and it was only after directly meeting him, did he see the differences.

Act brave to go around and cause trouble? That just wasn't Keith's preferred way of doing things. He'd rather pull strings from the shadows instead of putting himself in danger.

But Clark wasn't like this. He was calculating and manipulative, but that was where it stopped. He preferred to be the center of all action as he was strong and didn't care too much about the negative outcomes.

Just like Keith, he was a guy with regular IQ and it was only now that Keith realised how their way of thinking was different.

Keith didn't stay back in the camp and instead, grabbed two of the dead fishes' tails before leaning in on Clara as he rested his chin on her shoulder. His arms weren't too damaged, but since his torso and in other words, abdominal area was severely beaten up, it made it hard for him to lift heavy things.

With each fish weighing almost 30 kilograms, there was no way he could even lift one, let alone two. Everyone except Brandon and Nathan grabbed onto two fishes and leaned against each other to maintain physical contact.

Brandon and Nathan on the other hand, had a large cloth bag hanging over their shoulders, each one of them carrying 9 fishes each.

Seeing this group, instructor Sera shook her head and smiled behind her mask before placing her hand on Laura's shoulder as she was the one who was at the front. A second later, they were all standing on the beach, one of the earliest groups to arrive.

Brandon and Nathan took two more fishes from Caleb and Keith before moving onto the trade market. Keith had already visited this place so he asked for an empty table, which was free of cost as long as he returned it back.

He placed multiple tables beside each other and traded one fish to rent 13 large wooden boxes, a lot of ice and also salt. Nathan broke the ice into smaller chunks while the others threw in the rock salt crystals into the ice before mixing it all.

This was to make sure that the temperature didn't go up too fast. With twelve boxes containing two fishes and the last box having three, Keith took up the responsibility of taking care of all the trades for the day.

It was still early in the morning, so there weren't too many customers. Keith took this as an advantage and walked around socialising, doing that job that Amelia had done the previous day.

While he was busy talking to people, he still kept an eye on his stall just in case someone tried to steal things. Luckily, no one caused any trouble.

A few hours later, he felt his mental energy recover back to full, so he used it to boost Battle God's Regeneration once again, bringing it to SS grade. This time, the headache wasn't too severe, but he still felt a slight pulsation that was uncomfortable.

By the time everyone were done with their chores, Keith was back at his stall, diligently cutting up the fish before tossing it back into the box of Ice and salt.

He only did it with one box of fish, which was the one with three fishes while he let the others be the way they were. He didn't have to wait for long as a lot of people began setting up stalls alongside him.

Seeing this, Keith got Brandon to help him move the tables in such a way that it formed a U shape. Two tables were used as the main counter while there were four tables on each side. The rest of the tables were given back to the staff while the extra boxes that didn't have space on the tables, were placed on the sand.

Wood was a decent insulator, so Kieth wasn't too worried about the ice melting too much in the next few hours.

Behind the stall, his team was busy preparing fish soup using leftover bones from the three fishes that Keith had cut up. Beside the pot of soup, there was another pot that had rice cooking in it.

Surprisingly, the first customer was Timmy. He walked over and looked at all the boxes before giving Keith is attention.

"I heard that you were selling fish." he commented as he placed his hand on the table.

Keith nodded, giving him an amicable smile, "Yes, do you have anything you wish to trade for it?"

"Hmm... I do have a few things." he said softly as he thought about the things he had, "Most of the valuable things are back at camp, but I did bring a bunch of fruits."

He then placed two different fruits in front of Keith, one was similar to an apple, being bright red in color but it was almost perfectly round.

"We don't really know the name of this fruit, but the texture is similar to a pear and it is slightly sour. Me and my people have tasted and eaten them for the past few days. I assure you that there are no problems with this fruit."

Next, he pointed at a bright yellow branch like thing, a well known root called Yakka. Keith recognised this thanks to his experience as a reader. It was basically just Cassava or as few others in his old life used to call it, tapioca.

Though, there was a slight difference. Yakka would always be slightly bitter if it was boiled directly and if it was dried and pound into a powder before cooking, then the bitterness would be almost nonexistent.

"Well, you know this one." Timmy said and proposed a deal, "One kilo for one kilo."

Keith immediately shook his head, "I apologise, but that's not gonna happen. The best I can do is one kilo of fish for three kilos of any of these. If you have Yakka flour, then I can trade one kilo of fish for two."
