After buying access to the article 'Beginners guide to the demon merchant codex' I did not immediately read it instead had the Hive AI copy it. Then I returned to the inter-realm network's list of search results and visited various results at the middle and bottom of the search results and made sure they were of different dark languages. Buying the articles I had Hive AI copy them so that I could read the articles at my convince and compare them with other articles. I spent a fortune on this hoping that it would all be worth it in the long run.

Once I had enough articles, I went through them one by one keeping an open mind and not forming a bias. Soon I noticed that all these articles had one thing in common, they recommended the reader opt for the advanced classes on how to efficiently use the demon merchant codex, etc conducted by the authors of respective articles.

If these articles were that just I did not mind reporting them all to the devil merchant but they were not, each of them had mentioned a detailed approach to using the demon merchant codex base on their targeted audience.

They were very detailed about what various functions of the demon merchant codex did and how to efficiently use them without spending a fortune as an offering to the devil merchant code. Most functions offered by the devil merchant code were pretty straightforward except for the inter-realm communication function of the devil merchant code. As for the Inter-realm search, there was no way around spending a fortune to find a new realm. But they did mention an effective and economical way to minimize the losses.

That was to not offer soul jades as offering to use these functions of the devil merchant code and instead listed various items and ingredients that are apparently worth more in the devil merchant code market than their native market. Most of the items and ingredients mentioned on the list, I had no idea about as they do not seem to exist in the card world. And considering that I had already figured this, this part of these articles was mostly worthless to me.

Lastly, they mention various common scams in the inter-realm network and inter-realm city targeting newbie demon merchants. When it came to this section, the articles exposed and warned about the scams conducted by the other dark races and tribes. This was only possible because I bought articles of the same niche in different dark languages.

Each dark language represents a different community of dark races and tribes in the dark realm. The various dark races and tribes had fierce competition among them therefore they warned the demon merchants of their community about the scams other communities of dark races and tribes conduct. This way their fellow demon merchants would not fall prey to the scams of other dark races or tribes but instead fall for their scams. They saw scamming a fellow demon merchant of the same community not as scamming them but as teaching them a valuable lesson at a price so that they would never forget it. This was a shameless defense but good enough. I call this tactic keeping the wealth in the family.

The most informative of all were the new articles that were at the middle of the search results because they exploited the fact that the authors of the articles at top of the search result do not bother to update their articles even if they did they did not do update their articles periodically with the changing market.

So the articles in the middle made use of the current information that was not available in the old articles to stand out to the search function of the inter-realm network allowing them to be ranked in the middle of the search results over the articles at the bottom who just beat around the bush about information that was already mentioned in the top and older articles.

But I found a gem in the articles at the bottom of the search results, this article was very informative yet at the bottom of search results mostly because it bas barely relevant to my search, as this article spoke about the author's experience as a newbie demon merchant tackling all the problems a newbie demon merchant would be facing.

This article also mentioned how the devil merchant code was able to function without a centralized currency. It was because the items and ingredients we offer in exchange for information or item from a fellow demon merchant were directly bought by the devil merchant code in case the said demon merchant did not want said offering while compensating the demon merchant in question in terms of the offering of his choosing based on market value or soul jades on rare occasions. What made this possible was the devil merchant code's ability 'exchange'. It used this ability to conduct independent trades with various realms' wills.

The article did not explain why the various realms would need the offerings so this explanation was more of a hypothesis than a fact. However, it still did not change the fact that this article was more informative than any other article I bought but combined they all were worth the fortune I spent to buy them.

Going through all of the articles I finally had an idea of how to use the various functions of the devil merchant code, this way I would not be going in blind when I use the various functions of the devil merchant code for the first time especially the inter-realm communication function which allowed the demon/devil merchants to communicate with the natives of the other realm. This function of the devil merchant code had more to it than one would imagine.

These articles have proven to be very informative and helpful when it came to know-how about using the various function of the demon merchant codex efficiently proving that they were worth every penny spent on them.
