From her words with Caroline, Nia saw a huge business opportunity in this first-year competition.

Over the next two days, several weapons and equipment stores in the city were sold out. Originally, the owners of these shops had planned to go to the nearby West Coast to buy a new batch of goods, but unexpectedly, when they arrived on the West Coast, they found that the goods had also been bought, and the new goods would not arrive until a week later. This was a big deal for the shopkeepers, but there was nothing they could do about it.

On the second day of the countdown to the competition, the academy released the rules for this first-year competition.

Since I noticed that in recent years, the actual combat ability of the students in the academy has gradually declined, and the content of this first-year competition is completely different from previous years. This time, the venue of the tournament was arranged in the Sky Tower near the West Coast, and the content of the tournament was changed from the previous group competition of the two houses to a unified points match.

The competition lasts for a week, and during this week, students will have to do their best to hunt down the dragonmen and dragons that roam the first floor of the Sky Tower in exchange for points. Killing a Dragonman is worth three points, killing a Wyvern is worth one point, and if it is an elite, it will add two points to the original base.

During this process, a magic crystal ball issued by the academy to each student will record everything that happened during this time. This not only makes it easier for the academy to calculate points after the match, but also ensures that some cheating incidents do not occur.

A week later, the students gathered in a small and conspicuous plaza on the first floor of the Sky Tower. And the people in the academy will take them out of the Sky Tower.

Maybe Nya was really lucky, she was just planning to take advantage of the opportunity of the Year 1 competition to resell some high-end equipment at a high price. This time, the revision of the Year 1 competition has added an important fire to Nia.

This time, they had to face the Demonic Beasts directly, even though they were only facing the lowest-level Demonic Beasts in the Sky Tower, and no student dared to take it lightly. Therefore, after the academy issued the rules of the competition, even those students who did not plan to buy weapons and equipment rushed to the outer city, after all, there were few people who did not want to be safer in the competition.

Faced with this situation, on the second day before the competition, nearly ten wandering merchants wearing strange jars suddenly appeared in every conspicuous place in the outer city. Such merchants generally wander around the continent of Arad, and because of this, these merchants usually have some rare goodies in their hands. And after some students compared the equipment in the cans with the equipment in the out-of-town stores, they found that there was a big gap between them.

"The weapons and equipment that these merchants put on display can be compared to the worst in those shops. Sure enough, these people should be those wandering merchants. A tall student said to his friends after buying equipment from an equipment store in the outer city.

"I've heard that some wandering merchants can even buy artifacts." A slightly chubby student said. He had seen some information about the Wandering Merchant in the library.

"You don't have enough knowledge of this, I've heard people talk about it before, these wandering merchants with cans on their heads seem to be called jars here, and it is said that someone once bought rare equipment inherited from them." Another student with some freckles on his face replied at the end.

"What, you mean that rare weapon that has been nourished by generations in some family? Will anyone still sell such an heirloom-like weapon? The tall student who spoke first couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this.

"It must be those families who are about to go bankrupt, after all, compared to family heirlooms, it is more realistic to exchange a few dollars to make ends meet." The Freckled Student shrugged his shoulders, then said with a look of regret that knew the matter.

In the outer city at this time, conversations like this abound. After all, it is a fact that the goods of these wandering merchants are better than those sold in the store.

Because of this, after realizing this, the students began to march in groups towards several can-head merchants in the city.

In fact, where are there any wandering merchants, and these 'wandering merchants' in the city at this time are Nia and his party.

In addition to Amy and Stana, Nia also brought six members of Baron's team and four members of Hilda's team to work as laborers. Of course, Nia may not give everyone a rare quality weapon in return for her help.

However, this is not very appropriate now, because after the house announced the rules of the first-year competition, Nia also pulled Hilda and the other three members of her team into her team. After all, in the face of such a thing as killing monsters, the pure physics team and the pure magic team are not a good choice.

Due to the need to resell goods so that other acquaintances of the same grade would not know, and also under Nia's pranks, the group brought a jar headdress specially made by Nya for two gold coins, and covered their bodies with a wide white cape.

Because the outer city is not small, and there are many first-year students in Einhard, Nia distributed everyone around the outer city to sell them separately.

Due to the high demand, the price of those higher-quality weapons and equipment was directly doubled by Nia, and the price of those low-quality weapons and equipment was set by Nia to be only a little higher than the price spent when they were purchased.

At the top of the stall, Nia also uningeniously pulled up a banner. "Huttonmar's finest weapons and equipment sales."

At the booth, a magic loudspeaker kept repeating the previously recorded advertising slogan. "Do you want to be one step ahead in the first year competition, do you want to suppress those unbeatable geniuses? In this case, a suitable weapon and equipment is indispensable. Here you will be able to find what you need. ”

Although the price of the goods is a little high, but under the constant greeting of the loudspeaker, there is an endless stream of people who come to Nia to buy equipment. After all, although there is no restriction on the origin of Einhard, more than half of the students here are still from prominent families. A student like this kind of family will naturally not be stingy with this money because of the safety of his life.

At this time, another person dressed as a student walked towards Nia's side.
