The time is flying and Martti is getting richer. And wiser, because the wisdom module also came the same year. It is already 3 years since the Royal Palace burnt, and ardent preparations are being made to enable the rebuilding (which will mean a new game module, scheduled after Wisdom, which did come out as scheduled!)
Starting next year and next blogtext, Martti will be 20. He has secured the critical early years healthwise, and not neglected health challenges when funds were pressing. Now an easier time is starting, with 1-2 mil per year providing all that he needs for 20 years to come. The town salary for characters in the 20-40 year bracket ranges is 1.05-1.75 mil (L4-L6), so being able to spend everything that the others make per month, for food, drink and smoke - yes, it allows quite some indulgence (in non-noble standards of course).
Martti has not thought about the level promotion much. The next one is in 1 year, and Martti barely fulfills the (currently unofficial) minimum age of 20. Trying to optimise for the promotion conditions specifically feels gamey, and the promotion is all but a certainty after 3 more years anyway with the progress Martti is making:
He would still be 2 years "ahead of schedule" (23 vs 25) and if he manages Master in the normal time (9 years), he would be 32 and still have time to make Baron on time. The advancing among commoners does not depend too much on money, but becoming Baron it does. It is very unlikely that Martti gains massive funds much before 40, so he does not stand too much chance to become Baron either. Trying to sub-optimise getting Master asap, just to see the Baron train (tendency that it is easier to become a L13 Baron below age 40, after which Masters will instead be promoted to commoner bonus levels, mainly L7 Wizard) leave the station without a ticket, is not heartwarming. A good life is definitely planned for the commoners, but Martti's plan is to become a noble!
The CKG-ETF shares came back. Now Martti tries to sell them to get as much SCI is possible. The price of S-B22 in the market has zoomed, after the release of the apparently very positive, varied and interesting zoning plans. This means that more capital can be used in the triangle trade from money -> SCI -> S-B22 -> money.
After scouring money where it is possible (getting harder as in 5 years, Martti has already developed a tendency to buy household items such as 8 pieces (!!) of Ming China), Martti has just enough that he could convert the sword from IC and have it dated 1626. At the last moment he remembers that backdating is possible as well, at a cost of 3% per year. So instead of rushing to buy it, backdating it a few years is a very reasonable option, especially for commoners. The nobles might not want to spend 3% per year too often, because they can seldom make that kind of return with their operations. The sword will probably come next year, a few years backdated and with a nice story added.
The health challenge ended Moderate, for the 5th time now, with health still Excellent. Some CAN quota was left, but even the decision to buy 100@2900 was controversial, and the health would never have justified it. CAN is predominantly a wisdom product, and this has almost doubled its ask price in a year, despite massive stocks and the fact that it does not spoil.
