The Innkeeper

Chapter 1534  Hidden features

To avail the services of the Inn that could totally transform the power and ability of a mortal, the price was way more than something a mortal could typically actually afford. There were a few different reasons for this.

Lex was not merely copying the strategy used by the resort, though they had probably mastered the art of demand and supply. The price was determined by the resource used. The other services offered by the Inn were run by the system, so Lex did not need to worry about how to manage them. These services, however, which required him to provide the materials himself, had to be priced based on the resources used.

Naturally, everything within the Inn was invaluable based solely on the fact that it was a newborn realm, if nothing else. Another reason was that such services simply couldn't be made available en masse. By appropriately pricing them, they could ensure that the drain on the resources would be reduced drastically.

Lastly, he could encourage his guests to take the Trials if they couldn't afford the price of the service. Trials were a feature of the Inn Lex unlocked long ago, but hardly made use of.

Back in the day, he used a Trial to get Marlo to procure a bunch of zombie cores for him, and in exchange he healed Marlo.

Since then, Lex hardly ever needed to use Trials because honestly offering MP through the Guild room was usually enough to motivate them to get whatever he wanted from them. Ever since he got over his initial hurdle of MP shortage, he'd never encountered a situation where MP itself couldn't resolve things.

Now, however, he'd decided to make use of the massive labor force that Trials gave him access to. Sure he could send them off to various battlefields across the Origin realm and come back with valuable fertilizer, but Lex was a peaceful fellow, not a warmonger. Why would he do something like that?
