So, when Hyun Ki was done setting the place up, he then decorated the place a bit since it was still a bit bland and he wanted to make it feel more like an alchemy store and so he designed it with more of a science feel but in reality it made, he made it more bland.
But he didn't know this since he wasn't that good in design but he was still happy with it and so he then decicided to finally set up his business offical and so he left his store and headed to the Merchant's Association to officially apply for his business.
Once he got there, he saw the place and it was huge, as he looked around there were players and NPCs everyone that had Profesional clothes on and the place looked pretty expensive and even more fancy but Hyun Ki needed to fill out his forms.
Then as he looked around the place he finally found the counter and he then filled out the forms and all the necessary paperwork that was needed to make his business offical and in just a bit, his application had been approved.
Now, all he needed was a name for his business, he thought thought a bit about it, wanting to find something that would make it really known that it had really good alchemy and potions and eventually, he settled on "Alchemy's Haven."
With his business officially applied for and a name in place, Hyun Ki set his store as the official location for Alchemy's Haven, he knew that he needed to start hiring employees, so he went back to the message the people he accepted from before.
Although when he texted all of them, only a few of them were able to reply and only three out of the even fewer people were able to be interviewed right now but he decided since it was still new he didn't needed a lot of staff and so he just went with it.
The first applicant was a player named "GoldenFlower" although her real name was "Eun", she was also a Korean player and she had the merchant class, Hyun Ki could see that she was very calculative and was definitely someone he wanted try and have run his store.
"So, Eun, tell me a bit about yourself and your experience with alchemy," Hyun Ki asked as he started his interview with Eun, she then said with full confidence, "I have no current experience with it now but I can learn and I have different skills that will be useful in marketing.".
Hyun Ki nodded and was okay with her answer as he knew she wasn't an alchemist and so he then asked another question and said, "How do you plan to help the store grow? Socially? Promoting? Or any other way that can boost our sales?".
Eun, then replied saying, "Well, I'd like to try all available methods to see which one can provoke the best reaction or maybe even try using all of them if I had the help to be able to do it." she said as she seemed very immersed in her conversation.
While Hyun Ki liked her ideas and so he then told her she could start immediately as he gave her a staff role and put in her pay rate which definitely wasn't a small amount even for big existing businesses and so Eun was definitely going to work hard.
Next was another Korean player named, "Scatter" who's name was "Hyuk" and was an alchemist and he even had a rare job for his class but Hyun Ki was surprised that he didn't get scouted by bigger businesses so it made him curious as to why this didn't happen since there should be a reason.
He then asked Hyuk, "So why weren't you scouted by bigger businesses or stores with your class?", when Hyun Ki asked this question, it looked like Hyuk was uncomfortable and so Hyun Ki then asked, "Are you not able to speak with other people that well?".
Hyuk nodded as he looked down while sitting, Hyun Ki could understand him since he also didn't like to talk to other people as it was also uncomfortable and he decided to hire him and also reassured him that he wouldn't need to talk to that many people.
When he said this, he looked a bit more comfortable and so Hyun Ki then set him up as another staff member of his business and added his pay rate as well which was pretty high since he was another alchemist with a rare class job.
Even though he couldn't make potions as good as Hyun Ki, he could still supply the store with normal potions since people who want cheap potions would definitely buy them out faster so Hyuk would definitely help with that problem.
Finally was also a Korean player named "DragonSupporter" who's name was Yong, his class was a Support Class caller "Booster" which was an uncommon class that boosted allies' skills and effects and so it would definitely help his other staffs skills.
It would also help those with merchant skills since Hyun Ki stilled had other applicants and they could also have their skills boosted with them and he also had a passive skill which was at the legendary rank called "Boosting Aura.".
Yong was hired differently from other applicants since he asked Hyun Ki to make him an offer and so Hyun Ki offered nearly half of the cards he had and loads of armour and gold that he had which was definitely surprising to Yong since even high rankers didn't offer that much.
So when he first met up with Hyun Ki, he said, "So your giving me everything you have, huh? Well, your in luck since you're giving that as a down payment you can get me a normal pay roll and I'll work for you until I stop playing." he said trying to act cool.
As he said this, Hyun Ki was annoyed and decided to burst his bubble as he was trying to say he was special and so he then view shared his panels and inventory and showed him a few of his skills that were already Mythical Rank and even some abilities.
What shocked him even more was that, Hyun Ki didn't even give him half of his loot and so as he said this became more quiet and just asked, "Are you an "Unranked" or something?", as he asked this Hyun Ki was visibly confused by the question.
So Yong then said, "What I meant was, are you some sort of unofficial ranker, with your skills and abilities alone, you can surpass nearly all rankers and even some high rankers! And you're just an alchemist!", Hyun Ki chuckled a bit and said, "No, I just want to have fun in my own way.".
