Chapter 2387 Commerce Array Formation

Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Lil. Red Storm realm "These two are a handful, aren't they?" Dalie said, eyeing Dulas and Biore before turning to praise Ceed. "Our Ceed is the best; she's so knowledgeable." Clearly, she was biased toward her kin.

However, she quickly coughed to clear her throat, masking her embarrassment and assuming a more elder-like demeanor. She then asked the chaos dwarves, "Which one of you is skilled at array formation?"

"Array formation? I know the basics, just enough to help me with my crafting," Biore said, not hiding his disdain for array formation. He hated it because it stole jobs from honest crafters. It took crafters years of research and numerous trials and errors to create efficient and economical craft prints, but array masters used these craft prints to design arrays that mass-produced items and sold them cheaply.

By doing so, array masters created a competitive market that stole jobs from hardworking crafters, catering only to the talented ones based on the popularity of the craft prints they created. This practice snatched the livelihood of average crafters, who couldn't match the low prices of mass-produced goods. This belief wasn't unique to Biore; many crafters shared his sentiments. It was why crafters both hated and loved array masters.

Determined, Dulas used her own little pocket money to create a low-grade version of her initial commerce array formation, one that could run by gathering soul energy from Sector DS0909. To achieve this, she had to remove many features from the array formation, simplifying it into a rudimentary design that was just enough to run her uncle's workshop.

When she handed it to her uncle, he gave a patronizing speech about how it was a test and she had passed it. To show his "appreciation" for her hard work and determination, he announced that he would use the array formation in his workshop and officially promoted her to be his assistant. The worst part was that she believed him.

Just when Dulas thought things were finally turning around for her, her uncle had her cleaning the workshop and refused to let her participate in his crafting. It didn't surprise her, and she gave up expecting anything from him. However, she was allowed to use the workshop when he wasn't there—as long as she didn't get caught. And she never did, at least until they disowned her.

Now that she thought back to it, Dulas couldn't help but wonder why she had worshipped her uncle as a great craftsman when he was just a little better than the average crafters out there.

"Dulas, you created the array formation running Bigold's workshop? He led me to believe that he did. However, even though the array formation was rudimentary, the premise was good," Wyatt said, praising Dulas for the array formation. For her level, it was impressive, but for Bigold's level, it was just trash.

"That's because I was tight on budget and had to make sure it would run on the soul energy gathered from within the workshop. So, I had to remove a lot of features I initially planned to add to it. I thought of making it simple, prioritizing customer interface, but my uncle preferred it to be enigmatic, even though it made it tough for customers to navigate. It was a total hit and miss. If I get to do it again, I'll do a lot of things differently, starting with a bigger budget," Dulas explained why the array formation turned out poorly. However, she still didn't blame her uncle for it, instead attributing the shortcomings to her tight budget and limited resources.
