After Anvis's task was posted for a while, echoes of a rumor about an external major commerce ready to invest a large sum of money into the Federation to massively build Mechanical Industries swiftly spread among the underground forces of the Federation.
Especially after Anvis deliberately underpaid some Gold Coins in the first few transactions and compensated the remaining payment with several High-Rank Magic Gems, it ignited the enthusiasm of many sellers.

Moreover, during the compensation, Anvis calculated based on the normal market price. These Magic Gems, even if auctioned directly, were enough to let them earn a tidy sum.
However, when these people thought there was a profit to be made and sold a large batch of skeleton labor to Anvis at a high price, the raw materials on the market were almost depleted.
