PERIDOT

You sit on the other side of the stage now, in an auditorium full of cracked and dusty stone chairs. It's cold and uncomfortable, but the stage before you still commands your attention, with the curtains now drawn back and shadows flickering upon it.

But he can only charge five yen per person so he has to have a whole lotta silk.

Why would he only charge five yen for such an expensive commodity...?

...I guess if he wanted to destroy the market and overflow it with surplus silk, he would want to grab the spider eggs and raise his own giant spiders -- and make sure no-one else has access to them. After that he should be able to achieve a monopoly on silk and then raise prices once he has no competition.

Cuz that's what gods do!! You don't charge more than an offering!!

...I guess if you want to make that your marketing gimmick. The Adventurer is looking to start a 'Five Yen Only' franchise with the hopes of expanding into different products, but has chosen to start with spider silk due to the almost guaranteed ability to drive out all competitors.

So they can become a god.

Precisely. Once you're the CEO of a successful franchise, you ascend to godhood.

[that is in fact the god Ebisu, I mean what]

That sounds so great . . .

[...:O]

It will be.

The only trick is getting the spider eggs. The spider probably uses a Megacolony deck, so our Adventurer trained against several other Megacolony fighters to learn the deck inside and out. That way, once he faces the spider in a cardfight, he'd know what to expect and be able to react accordingly.

Re: DISCUSSION

I have no idea what you just said but if it helps us to become a god, you should get me some of those cards.

Re: DISCUSSION

[grade3enabler]

If you want a deck, I can get you one while I quest for mine.

You're a miracle, general! A true miracle!
