The next day, the opening of the shop. But the ceremony wasn't held at the shop, instead it was held in an open ground which is like a stadium. This is a place where the people in the city holds their ceremonies, tournaments etc.

A wide ground along with a stage in a middle, there are seats for large number of spectators.

The venue and other arrangements are all done by Chaya. She even sent the invitations to all the big shot noble families and even the marquis is here. They all sat in the VIP area.

The ceremony was held in this stadium because, they need a place to demonstrate the special product. There are some podiums which covered with cloth on the stage.

Sam and Chaya are standing on the stage as they looked at the audience.

After everyone was settled down, Chaya addressed the audience.

"Greetings everyone. I am the Artisan tower head Chaya. I am very happy that all of you came here to show your support on the opening day of our Shop.

Today, I am pleased to announce to all of you that, the artisan tower is cooperating with the rank 5 scholar artisan Sam to open this Shop.

In this shop, not only will we be selling the quality weaponry made by the artisans of the artisan tower, but also the inventions of Artisan Sam and now we are going to demonstrate the new products that are only available in our shop."

After she finished her speech, she gestured to an attendant who took the cloth off of the first podium under which a weird looking metallic object was placed.

This might be an unknown object to the audience here, but this is a very familiar to the hunters of the modern earth. This is a foot hold trap mostly used to catch wild animals in the modern world.

The foot hold trap is twice the size of the normal ones. An attendant came to the stage and explained.

"This is our first product, the foot hold trap. The product is used to cease the moments of the beasts with a surprise attack."

After saying his piece, the attendant took the trap into his hands and walked down the stage.

The crowd was a bit confused when they looked at the weird metal piece.

"What could it be? How is this weird metal piece be used?"

"Yeah, he said something like foot holding trap. How can it even hold the feet of a beast?"

The crowd broke out into discussions.

The foot hold trap is extremely similar to the one from the earth, the only difference is the base plate which is used to place the trap on the floor. The circular base plate is a rotatable disc.

The attendant rotated the disc and opened the metallic jaws of the trap completely. As soon as he did that, the trap disappeared from the n.a.k.e.d eye. This is because, after rotating the disc, it activated a concealment formation which is etched on it.

After that, some more attendants came and set the traps similarly. Then a cage was taken into the stadium in which there is a big tiger type beast is struggling. It is similar to normal tiger but the fur is brown in colour with the black stripes and there are two tails. This is twin tailed earthen tiger. And it is now a Level-3 beast.

The attendants opened the cage and left the place immediately.

The tiger looked at the stage and when it sensed the danger from Chaya it didn't dare to move in that direction and it didn't have balls to move towards the large crowd.

The twin tailed tiger has no choice but to move around the ground. But when it entered the trap zone, it laid its front foot on a trap and immediately the Jaws activated and pierced into the leg.

*ROAR*

The tiger roared in pain; the jaws of the trap completely pierced into its flesh. But the trap isn't strong enough to hold the tiger in place. The disc base and the spring broke, but the jaws didn't loosen up at all and still stayed in the flesh. This is the major flaw, Sam left intentionally to make these traps as one-time consumables. The trap will be useless after the beast activated it.

The beast wasn't able to move the foot and when it limped another rear limb struck in another trap.

The crowd was stunned. They didn't expect the trap would produce this result. Basically, this is achieved because, the animals of lower intelligence will depend on their five senses than their spiritual sense, that is the main reason the trap worked.

"Damn it, how come it worked?"

"This weird thing is damn useful."

"Hahaha, I am going to buy ten of them. My team is going to be rich." The crowd broke in uproar.

"Our second product, the calming grenade." The attendant's voice got crowd out of their stupor and they looked at the new unveiled product. There is a spherical metallic object in the size of a baseball on the podium.

The attendant took the sphere in his hands and held it in his two hands. He rotated the one hemisphere of the sphere and threw it at the tower.

The audience couldn't see but when the hemisphere is rotated the upper half was filled with holes and when it landed a smoke started spreading out of it and surrounded the roaring tiger which limped out of the trap zone calmed down and it was so overly calmed down that it almost fell asleep.

The crowd was surprised again. They are looking at the dizzy tiger which is only slowly walking like an old man.

"How did that work? A metal piece of that size can work as well?"

"What is that smoke, that made that calm and sleepy. That trap and this grenade are perfect match."

"Yeah, when we tried to feed the sleeping drug, the beast will always sense it one way or another. Normal anaesthetics shot with arrows have little effect. If we use poison the flesh will be damaged. This calming grenade is a perfect thing to catch the beasts off guard and if we play our cards right we can even catch the beast alive."

Just as the attendant was about to reveal the third product, Sam gestured him to stop and said.

"No need to test the remaining items on the beast. Use a dummy." After that he didn't care about their reply and went to the tiger. He took off the metal jaws and let it rest for now. He took out a pill from his storage which he got from the black pond and fed it to the tiger.

Even though, he is cold and heartless, he really didn't want to torture a beast without any grudge just to advertise his products. He didn't want to use them in the first place, but the trap and calming grenade can only be used on the live beast otherwise, their effects won't be known to the audience.

The attendant looked at Chaya and when he got her approval, he and some other attendants brought some wooden dummies

"Our third product is called pin grenade." The attendant revealed the third product and he took the spherical ball which has a lot of sharp protrusions in his hand and just like the calming grenade he twisted it and threw it between the bunch of wooden dummies.

A small explosion sound came from the sphere and numerous think and sharp needles were ejected from the grenade and pierced into the bodies of the dummies.

Again the audience started speaking.

"If we use this on beast packs this would be super effective."

"Yeah, it can be even used in gang fights."

"Damn it, I am not surprised anymore. The products are really good. I am going to buy all of them."

As crowd went on with their talk, the attendant announced.

"Our fourth and final product. The invention which gave Artisan Sam to get the rank 5 promotion. Our shops most valuable item. I request someone from audience to come and test it."

The audience hyped up. This is definitely the main product of the ceremony.

A young man who sat beside the Marquis came forward. His looks have some similarities to Marquis and he is the second son of the Marquis, Luther.

He came to Sam and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you Artisan Sam." He said with a smile. His face has a serene smile. Sam shook his hand and said.

"Nice to meet you too. Please do take a look at the product." Sam gestured him towards the energy cell arm guard with neutral energy which was just unveiled.

All the experts in the Great realm and above are looking at the energy cell keenly.

Luther wore the arm guard and the attendant slowly whispered what the two functions are. Luther gave a shocked expression as he looked at Sam with bewilderment.

He calmed himself and started the demonstration. He extracted the spiritual energy and threw a fire ball at one of the wooden dummies.

The audience were confused.

"What is the speciality of the product?"

"Yeah, isn't it just a normal fire ball. What does it have anything to do with the product?"

"May be, it didn't work?"

"I think so too."

But the experts were shocked as they watched Luther absorb the energy from the cell directly. They sensed the energy flow from the energy cell when he used it and immediately understood what the function is.

"How did he do it?"

"Damn, this is a very great invention."

"Yeah, I will definitely buy one for my son. Even though, the amount is very small for me to use, it is very useful to my son."

"I am going to buy more."

The normal audience only grew even more confused.

"What does it do exactly?"

"Yeah, I didn't understand either."

Sam coughed loudly as he stopped the chatters and turned towards Luther.

"Maybe our guest can explain the uses?"

Luther nodded and addressed the crowd. When he explained how to use it and what uses it have, the crowd was about become rowdy. But, Chaya interrupted them.

"Our special product will only be sold once a week and only has thirty pieces. And out of thirty of them, ten of them are fire elemental, ten of them of wind elemental and the remaining are neutral.

The neutral one will be sold for 5000 spirit stones and the elemental ones will be sold for five times the price.

The shop will be open on today and all the products along with normal ranked weapons forged by the artisans of our artisan tower are going to be sold there. Please, do visit and support us. Thank you."

The audience immediately got up from their seats and ran outside. They want to be the first ones to get the products and are afraid that all of the will be over.

All the attendants left to help at the shop and soon, only around ten people were left in the stadium and all of them cautiously approached Sam.

They are from the noble families and want to get the energy cells through back door and some even asked if they could get a bulk order. But Sam refused adamantly and they can only leave dejectedly.

Marquis looked at Sam and his son Zeke who is beside him with a complicated gaze. He was certain his son is going to suffer a massive defeat this time.
