Chapter 5: Business, Calculations, and New Opportunities

John leaned back in his office chair, the soft hum of the lanterns flickering in the background. His desk was cluttered with documents, financial records, and various notes scattered across the top, all a part of the never-ending calculations that came with running a growing business. He was finally beginning to see some real progress, and it was exhilarating.

As much as he enjoyed his ventures into the world of commerce, there was one thing that always weighed heavily on his mind: how much further could he go? The Dungeon was there, just beyond his reach, but to enter it, he needed more than just money. He needed a Falna.

Calculating the Future: The Raw Materials Investment

The day after his meeting with Gregor, John sat at his desk, the numbers on his ledger demanding his attention. The raw materials he had been purchasing were essential for his upcoming gacha pulls, but he knew he had to be strategic. The last few weeks had taught him that sand was the best option for his point investment, thanks to its high points per Valis.

He pulled out the calculations he had made earlier and cross-referenced them once again. The process was tedious, but it was necessary. His 600,000 Valis for next month had already been earmarked for purchasing raw materials—enough to secure him another round of pulls.

His last analysis stood:

Wood (1 unit):

Points: 8

Cost: 15 Valis per unit

Points per Valis: 8 / 15 = 0.53 points per Valis

Sand (1 unit):

Points: 3

Cost: 5 Valis per unit

Points per Valis: 3 / 5 = 0.6 points per Valis

Dirt (1 unit):

Points: 5

Cost: 10 Valis per unit

Points per Valis: 5 / 10 = 0.5 points per Valis

Calculating How Much He Could Afford to Spend

John knew that sand was the most efficient material for his points-to-Valis ratio. He needed to maximize his purchase and point yield to make the most out of his investment.

With his 600,000 Valis, here's how much he could buy:

Sand (Best Option):

600,000 Valis ÷ 5 Valis per unit = 120,000 units of sand

Total points: 120,000 units x 3 points per unit = 360,000 points

Wood:

600,000 Valis ÷ 15 Valis per unit = 40,000 units of wood

Total points: 40,000 units x 8 points per unit = 320,000 points

Dirt:

600,000 Valis ÷ 10 Valis per unit = 60,000 units of dirt

Total points: 60,000 units x 5 points per unit = 300,000 points

Business and Future Growth

John ran the calculations again to be sure. If he spent the entire 600,000 Valis on sand, he would acquire 360,000 points, which was the optimal return. But as he looked at the numbers, he realized the far bigger picture. His company was growing—faster than he had initially expected.

1 billion Valis in profits were projected for the next quarter. It was a massive sum, one that would let him scale up his point acquisition strategy even further. With 1 billion Valis in his pocket by the next quarter, he would be able to drastically increase the quantity of raw materials he could purchase, expanding his gacha pull potential and unlocking even more powerful skills.

A Meeting with Gregor: Seeking Advice

After spending most of the morning finalizing the numbers, John decided he needed to meet with someone. The calculations were important, but having someone to bounce ideas off of would help give him perspective.

John had kept in touch with Gregor, a trusted old friend who had helped him in the early stages of his business. Gregor had long since moved on from day-to-day operations, but he was still active in the world of commerce and trade.

The two met at a quiet tavern in the city. Gregor had a large mug of ale in front of him, his eyes glinting with interest as John spoke.

"So, John," Gregor said, leaning forward. "It seems like you're doing well. What's on your mind?"

John rubbed the back of his neck, trying to find the right words. "I've been doing some calculations. My company is set to make 1 billion Valis in profits by next quarter, but it's not just about the business anymore. I need to expand, go beyond just sales and materials. I want to become an adventurer."

Gregor raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. "An adventurer? What's made you change your mind? You've got everything you need already."

John took a deep breath. "I've been thinking about it for a while. With the business growing, I can afford to spend on raw materials without worrying too much. But the real reason? I want a Falna. I need it to go into the dungeon and gain new abilities. It's time."

Gregor studied him for a moment, his eyes narrowing. "You know what you're getting into, right? The dungeon is dangerous. It's not something you can simply walk into and expect to come out unscathed."

"I know," John said, his tone firm. "But I can't afford to wait any longer. I've been planning for this. The next step is to get a Falna, and I'm ready for it."

Arranging a Meeting with Hestia

The conversation lingered in John's mind as he left the tavern. His mind raced with plans—how to grow his company, how to acquire more points, and now, how to secure a Falna.

The only way to become an adventurer and gain access to the dungeon was to receive a Falna, and John knew who he had to meet. Hestia, the goddess who had recently descended to the city, was the one who could bestow a Falna.

In the world of DanMachi, the process was straightforward—he simply had to find Hestia's Familia and ask for her blessing. He was certain that he could convince her of his worth.

John made his way to the hephestia's Familia, located in the heart of the city. His heart raced a little faster as he approached. The next step of his plan was within reach.
