This is the tale of a man, one man, who entered the world of Chima.

He was an eagle, nothing special. His childhood was well-spent and he quickly became a doctor early in his life. He became known for the skill in which he could piece together machines and machinations alike, and soon earned his nickname, Doctor ElegantGearbox.

Soon into Gearbox's adulthood, the prince of the lions, Laval, was born. Twas when the young prince was five that his "old," "childhood," friend Cragger, who conveniently was at least two decades older than young Laval, became obsessed with Chi, titled himself King of the Crocs and declared war against the lions. Gearbox was called forward to act in the rising war against the tyrannical leader of the Croc race.

He met personally with young Prince Laval, learned the power a little Chi could grant a person, and then began to fight the enemy Crocs throughtout Chima. He was conveniently the only physical existing person in the world until he found several of his friends, who'd gained nicknames set up in peculiarly similar fashions. He began to battle together with them, and then discovered that he'd amassed a collection of studs near eight thousand.

Wishing to gain more of these and reach OVER 9000!!! studs, he began to work on his outpost. He began to upgrade his original command tent, and built up a second tent. He had been granted around 45 gold bricks by young Laval when he was first commissioned as a soldier, and used ten of these to build a Lion tent, which would generate three and a half thousand studs every hour for Gearbox. He quickly surpassed his goal of OVER 9000!!! studs, but was still unsatisfied with his momentary victory.

He been to upgrade his tents even more, and within a day, was gaining plenty of studs, exceeding ten of thousands. During his second day, he scavenged for more ways to gain studs, while battling beside his friends. Soon he discovered a building that would become a large part of his future - the Lion House. Every four hours, it would grant him an astounding twenty-six thousand studs! It cost him thirty thousand studs to build, but he had more than enough to buy it.

He did so and, within the day, was generating enough studs to fund the Lion kingdom for a few weeks.

This, still, was not enough for Gearbox; his mission was now to ruin, break, mutilate and take advantage of the simple economy of Chima in any way possible. He was almost as crazed about studs as "King" Cragger was about Chi.

He soon began to figure out that he hadn't enough space for more stud-generators. He went out and battled for long hours, smashing Crocs mercilessly with the gear he had purchased using his excessive amount of studs. He fought and fought, continued charging outwards from the main area he usually fought in, and soongained enough battle experience that he was granted extra land on which to build.

He returned to his outpost and then completely revolutionized the area, removing all militarized buildings, including his factories, blacksmiths and armorers. He took down both of his basic tents and his Lion tent, and then placed a whopping five more Lion Houses. He spent hours sorting out his outpost setup, moving and demolishing buildings, until he was comfortable. He had six Lion Houses and nothing else.

It was an hour or two later than he discovered the secrets to trading.

You see, at his outpost, there was a trader. A devil-eyed, cheeky-looking eagle who had a voice that might qualify for the croc mafia, stood near his Chi-powered portal, selling ridiculously expensive, but ridiculously powerful, gear to those who might pass by. Intrigued by this he inquired about it to his friends. One of them suggested that you might be able to sell your gear to other people throughout Chima to buy via the trader's counterparts on other outposts, but he wasn't sure if that was the case.

Intrigued, Gearbox checked his list of buildings, and discovered a "Lion Market". He suspected this may be the building, but wasn't sure at the time. Later on in the evening, another of his friends confirmed this rumor.

Gearbox rushed back to his outpost, grabbed up his building tools, and got to work.

Within minutes, a Lion Market was set up and he instantly placed several pieces of gear onto it. He upgraded it to increase its capacity and placed even more gear on the market. Once he was done there, he began to sort out his setup again, and in the end settled on two basic tents, five Lion Houses, and his Market.

He waited, slept and collected his studs, and began upgrading his tents. Eventually his friends came to visit his outpost, and he announced that his daily profit would be, with all his building at level one, 883,680 studs.

He plans on expanding his kingdom further. His plans to destroy the economy are working fantastically.
