Lesson 10: Demand and Supply

Login seventeenth time.

"Hehe..."

Well, Niyaniya can't stop.

The prize money earned for capturing the prize neck is 150,000 pedia. Now I can get to the item I wanted.

Yes, it's an array with storage space. Now we can carry large quantities of prey and what we collect. It means hunting and collecting is a long way off.

Yes, there was a variety of items with storage space, varying from rucksacks, waist pouches, and end-of-the-bag. Storage limit numbers vary from one another. Also, there was a limit to the size. Storage bags and the like, for example, cannot hold anything that does not fit into their mouths. The same goes for West Porch. Bags and rucksacks were the only things that could be stored regardless of size. Oh, there was no size limit on rings and necklaces that were unscrupulous and expensive.

That's why I bought a storage rucksack and a storage west pouch. I bought a West Porch to put in a potion or something that I would even use during the fight. It has a capacity of 20 pieces and is considerably less compared to bags, etc.

The rucksack is the same as the bag and has a capacity of 100 pieces. Although I was not sure which way to go with the bag, I made it a rucksack as a result of thinking which would be less likely to be damaged in battle, etc. with the type of bag to be raised from the shoulder or the rucksack to be carried on the back.

The first rucksack I bought went straight to storage. I thought I could dispose of it, but now I have a use for it.

Storage capacity is determined by number. Conversely, the normal is determined not by number, but by capacity. In other words, once you put in 100 herbs, the storage goes in nothing more, but the normal can also be packed over 100, as capacity permits. The point is, I'm just going to leave it for sampling.

Either way, I'm happy to accomplish my first goal. Anyway, the cooking set and the dispensing set were pretty bulky... in fact, I was spreading the set and packing it in a different bag... but now I can store it as one item frame in the set and the hardship is gone. Now you won't miss the herbs growing in front of you because you can't hold them.

Well, shall we just go shopping? Let's prepare a few separate bags for collection. And now that you can keep your dishes warm, it's good to leave them to make. And there's still plenty of money to spare, so there's something new about the gauntlet.

"Hmm?"

Walking around thinking about that, it's noisy up ahead. There's quite a crowd out there, but what the hell?

"You can't sell it! Ahem!?

I heard that voice. If you look closely, the crowd is in front of the store.

"I don't even have a product to sell! What do you want me to do!?

And such a voice. I mean, is that it? Rubbing with the people who came to buy something? But if not, that's where the story ends, where are the factors that can be rubbed?

"It's strange that you have a product!

"Out of stock and no arrivals! What's wrong with this!?

"I'm telling you, it's not out of stock! What kind of shit is out of potion!?

... Oh, I'm convinced. I set up a friend list. There's only one name there. And I made sure he was logged in and connected the friend chat.

"Luke, do you have a minute? Where are you now?

'I just logged in. I'm in Einfast. "

"Actually, there's a lot of noise going on in front of me right now. It's a player entanglement. I haven't checked the details yet, but it looks like it concerns the purchase of the product. The potion seems to be out of stock '

One of the rioters used the word fucking gay, so he decided he was a player. Because I didn't think it was a word that any of our residents would use.

'Is it going to matter?

'Don't get lost in judgment. I'm not convinced it's out of stock. It feels like a player is biting the store. The store is... Coantro Drug Store. That sounds like a delicious name.

'I'm not sure it looks delicious, but I know the store. We're on our way, but can we do something about it by then? It's a residential shop. "

'... Roger, I'll just try to do it. But hurry up. If there's a riot, I'll crack it down. "

Even if it doesn't riot, there's nothing you can do about it if you're a high level player. Anyway, I want to solve the problems between players and residents as much as possible. Mainly for myself.

I manage to reach the front of the store as I break into the crowd. There's a red-haired warrior-style man and a good-width shopkeeper-like man grabbing his chest by that guy. A clerk-like woman looking anxiously at this one from inside the store and... a child who's about to cry out...?

When I approached without saying anything, I slapped my knife into the redhead's hand. Naturally, the red-haired hand leaves the shopkeeper-like man.

"What the fuck!?

"What the fuck! Look at that. I don't think so.

The redhead with his hands off bit me, but screamed louder than that, and I pointed to the crying child in the store.

In the meantime, interrupt between the redhead and the store owner to make sure they shelter the store owner.

"Calm down and look at ourselves. You're scaring the kid that far. You guys are on the verge of mobbing through the Kramer, aren't you? If you have something to say, that's fine. But, you know, there's no yelling or high-pressure attitude. I'm not a dick or a gangster."

That's it, I'll look around. All of a sudden, you come out. What is this guy? He's got a big gaze. Yeah, that's a failure as a way to get into arbitration. I got more emotional about myself, and the reason is' cause my kids are scared '...

Get your mind back on it. Let's hear more about it first. Understanding the situation is important.

"From what I hear, you guys came to this store to buy potions. Is that all right? And the store says they can't sell it. The reason is we don't have it in stock."

"Oh, yeah. It's a better excuse."

He doesn't believe in redheads at all. The same seems to be true for other players.

The next thing I know, I'm going to turn to the owner and listen to him.

"Is it true that it's not in stock?

"True."

That's what the store owner answered with a strange look on his face. Doesn't sound like you're lying. but there are also honestly unbelievable parts of the situation where out of stock happens. Whatever recovery items you want, such as consumables - that's all I thought about and was good at. I guess that's what I mean. but how do you convince everyone of that...

"I'd like you to tell me a few things. How many potions did you sell in this store today?

"All remaining inventory, 151 bottles."

"By the way, what's your usual stock?

"Recently, demand for potions has jumped. Since there are more customers who don't usually come, I've arranged to secure 500... but I haven't received the potion I ordered"

When I heard what the store owner had to say, I got a blur in the crowd. He didn't really believe that there was a cap on the number of people to handle.

"How do I buy potions?

"It's a request for a pharmacist. After that, I'll make some myself"

In other words, supply is not keeping pace with demand. Out of stock would also happen.

"Did you hear that? The reason it's out of stock is because, as the store owner said, the item has not arrived. I mean a situation where you can't sell even if you want to. Now I'm convinced..."

"You can't do that!

Redhead barked. I don't give a damn, but I'm convinced the players don't see him like that... eh... why don't you understand with this explanation...?

"It's not real! It can't be out of stock!

I guess I have to explain from there...

"Guys, stop assuming GAO is just like regular computer RPGs"

Not only the red-haired man, but the people around him take a glance, and then I tell you.

"If it's just a game, I guess I can buy it as long as the money allows, until the item frame canst. But that doesn't work in this world. If you think it's a lie, try buying it up at the right dewstores. For example, in an outdoor store selling apples, you should tell them to sell 100,000 pedia. It's about five pedia a piece, so I can buy 20,000, but the people in the store can't readily prepare more than the products there."

The truth is, I've never bought it up or anything, and I don't know what will happen. But 'distribution' exists in this world to hear the words of drug store owners. Then all stores should have the same reason.

Now, let me tell you this, too.

"Besides, you guys know what? The hunters of the inhabitants of this world are out in the woods just like us, hunting beasts the same way, and bringing them into the hunting guild the same way to make money. And then we roll out to the tavern and drink and make a scene."

What? with players who become dumb faces.

"A proper conversation is also concluded. Communication skills are the same as real people. Anger, laugh, cry. You're going to react no differently than us. Stop making me look great or having a high-pressure attitude thinking I'm the mob opponent of the game. If that's what you've been up to, remember your liver on this occasion. They haven't forgotten your attitude. Some of them would know, wouldn't they?

There must be many players who have touched upon the disgusting faces and attitudes of the residents. Even more so if the player has a bad attitude.

"You know when the bounty neck system was implemented, it was released that NPC had a preference setting, right? If you want to enjoy this game, listen honestly to the residents. Build proper trust, not pretend to get along. We're on par with them as beings. They're not 'there' in this world." Alive. "We've been 'alive' in this world since the moment we logged in. Then you know what to do with it, you don't have to say any more, right?

No response from the players. Rather than understanding, I seem confused. I guess the awareness of the game's mob is not so easy to wipe out. No, or simply, was my story unfolding strangely...

Almost at the same time that such anxiety sprouted, I heard applause. Even if I say applause, it sounds like two people at best. Who is it? And when I looked at the sound, someone cracked the hedge and approached me.

"Bad, Fist. It's late."

It was Luke who walked in applause. And one more. He's a fine-faced man in a black robe with a cane beside him to applaud. Are you a magician?

"It's Luke..."

"[Silverblade] 's Alliance Master......"

"There's Swain too..."

"So he's a member too?

That's the top player since beta, well known. The reaction comes to mind that I know them everywhere. Partly, don't even hear the wrong grunt.

"... Also, I guess you've been watching things somewhere, haven't you?

"You guys heard about GAO from around regular computer RPGs."

When I asked because the timing of coming out was after my words were over, I admitted it perfectly. Son of a...

"You..."

"Sorry, I stopped you."

Staring at Luke, the magician-style man - Swain - spoke to me to forgive this one.

"Your story was told to me from the beginning. Because I was interested in hearing rumors about what you were going to say. Oh, don't get me wrong. Rumor means among us."

No, Luke's guy, how are you explaining me to the guild members...?

"Well, from here on out, I want you to leave it to me"

That's what Swain says and turns to the players while he thinks about it.

"Says Swain of [Silverblade]. But first, I want you to look at the thread" The Pharmacist is No Longer a Pharmacist "in the offensive thread."

While confused, all the players start a thread on the spot. I will open the official website as well and search and read the slate of things.

The content began with Les, who could no longer buy potions at Einfast's pharmacy, and similar remarks continued. There seems to be some sharing of inventory information that this store still has. But did the other pharmacists wake up out of stock? I didn't realize anything about it because I made it myself. I guess the shopkeeper said earlier that there were more new customers as well because of the influx of players who were using these stores.

"Well, I'm sure you could read the content, but this thread stood four days ago. In other words, potions have been out of stock at Einfast pharmacies since that time. As far as I can confirm here, the product cannot arrive because it is out of stock. Some of them were producing at their place, but this one was not supplied due to material run-off"

The players listen to each other very carefully.

"Distribution is in place in this world, as you can easily imagine from what he told us earlier and what he said here"

Hey, don't make me turn my consciousness around here. And the way you put it is spicy. No one was convinced because I couldn't imagine that... but I should have been the first to say that distribution exists. I think I would have reacted a little differently now.

"That's why run-outs also happen. That is the rule of this world. No matter how much noise we make, this won't cover up. So no matter how much tyranny you work for a shopkeeper here, you can't buy potions. In fact, it's impossible to provide something that doesn't exist."

I narrowed my eyes and Swain looked at the redhead. The redhead trembles and retreats one step. Uhm, is this what a high level player is called Piercing Loch?

"So I'm not going to solve anything by wandering around here. If you want potion, don't you have something to do? Time's finite, huh?

The moment I said that, the crowd scattered. Even the redhead, who was just there, leaves the scene and heads somewhere. Did you head to the pharmacy where it's still in stock......

"Ah! I forgot to make you apologize to the store owner!

I couldn't let him apologize for grabbing my chest and rumbling... Shit...

"No, thank you. Thank you."

But that's what the store owner said and he bowed his head. Looking at the softening tone, the alarm over here seems to have been lifted.

"No, this is my hometown..."

Me, Luke, and Swain bow their heads, too. Lifting his head, he saw a hoe-faced clerk. The child... apparently spared the decimation.

"But the lack of potion, is a serious problem. If you don't mind, could you let me tell you more about it?

"Yeah, I get it. Please come this way."

In Swain's words, the shopkeeper enters the store. I decided to join Luke and the others in listening.

The Coantro drug store was a pretty big one. There are a variety of medicines lined up in the store. Healing Potion - Shelves for HP recovery have been cleared, but there are stamina potions, poisoning and paralysis potions to restore awakening potions and stamina to recover from stunning, as well as medicinal herbs. I have a scale, so it looks like I can also buy the amount I want here. Oh, some of that powdered scratch healing grass. How do you use this?

The shopkeeper - did Mr. Cornell notice that I looked at things intriguingly?

"Are you interested in medicinal herbs?

I've heard that.

"Yeah, it's boring, but it's nice to make your own potion. A lot of herbs are interesting."

"What, Fist [dispensing] you had?

"I'm not a production specialist. [Pharmaceutical] It's rare to have a player."

Luke and Swain say that. Right, is it unusual...

"I've never been able to make more potions than three stars."

The only healing potion I've ever made is a three star potion with a commercial product and a slightly unsuccessful two star potion. Yesterday, it was a two-star potion that I gave to a woman. No, don't say stockpile disposal, okay? I have enough healing for a two-star potion right now.

"Let's talk to Mr. Cornell."

Let me take a closer look at the medicine later.

"I can't keep up with the supply, but the other day it seemed to increase the purchase volume in anticipation of that?

Sit back in the chair provided and Swain will cut to the point.

"Yeah, at a point where I could afford it, as I said earlier, I placed an order so I could secure 500 copies"

"So how did it end up like this one?

"… the product I ordered has not arrived. It was supposed to arrive yesterday."

and Mr. Cornell sighs. The clerk brought me some tea there. Tea - No, is this aroma herbal tea? Skill activated if you think so. Looks like herbal tea. Which of these activated [cooking] and [dispensing] [plant knowledge]? Composite? Whatever the type of herb, it's up to the formula rate. The numbers are not shown...

"Thank you for helping my husband earlier. My name is Laura, my wife."

Clerk who ends up handing out tea and bows his head, no, Laura. Apparently, this shop is open to families. So the kid from earlier is the kid from here? I don't know where you are...... oh, there you are. There's a boy peering through the back of the store. When I waved at him, he hung and waved back. Yeah, yeah, kids are cute.

"Have you been able to reach the other side?

"No, that's what I was going to do today, but, you know... I haven't made any arrangements yet"

If it's real, it's about cleaning up with one phone, but I guess that's not possible in this world either. Is there no magical means of communication or something?

"Is that supplier in Einfast?

"No, the potion is purchased outside. Behind the west woods was a village called Muros. That's the village that makes herb collection and cultivation and drug production a business. The potion is also made there."

Is there a separate production base? But the fact that it doesn't arrive would mean that there was some trouble. The most likely possibility would be trouble in transit. Besides, there are quite a few shops in the village that are out of stock other than this one.

"West woods... there was a village there"

I couldn't find it in hunting or collecting it before. Is it pretty much in the back?

Take a sip of herbal tea. After a little bitterness, the refreshment spread in my mouth. Oh, this looks good for a mouthful of oil when you eat it too. And drowsiness.

"Luke, Swain, you know where that village is?

"No, you've never been there. I never even heard of you when you were a beta."

"Likewise. Sir, could you tell me where that village is? It is also an important issue for us that the supply of potions is interrupted. If you know the transport route, I'm going to try to follow it the other way."

Mr. Cornell walked into the back of the store once to Swain's suggestion and came back with a single map. And it tells us the location and route of the village. Luke and Swain drop village positions on their maps. For future reference, I also pointed out the location of the village to the map and added a name.

The system gives players the skills of [world map]. This is a fixed skill where no level rise exists and the map is displayed in a window. It is basically covered in gray monochrome, and the specifications are colored where it was broken, where it was visually checked. Green in the forest, brown in the wilderness, and sand in the desert. And it's possible to put your hands on the map, and it's possible to leave landmarks and notes.

By the way, this feature is outdoor only. City maps will be developed exclusively for the city, but maps such as dungeons will have to acquire a different skill called [Auto Mapping] if you want to create one with your skills.

"All right, then let's go. What about everyone, Swain?

"The call is complete. I can go anytime."

Luke and Swain get up. Swain seems to have been in touch with Alliance members during this time. Is it something like skilled players that's handy?

"Now, Mr. Cornell, we're going to Muros."

"Please, thank you"

Mr. Cornell and Laura bowed their heads deeply to the Lukes. Well, players like them would get to the village without any danger. I'll leave it to them.

"Hey, Fist. Let's go."

If I thought so, I had been added to the membership, too.

"Wait, wait, I'm not your guild member, am I? And there's so much difference in level that I don't think I can do anything to help where I've been."

"Oh, isn't Mr. Fist at the same party as Mr. Luke and the others?

When I say something different to Luke, Mr. Cornell cuts me out, if that's the case.

"Actually, I'd like to ask Mr. Fist a favor."

"Ha... what is it?

"I'd like to ask you to procure herbs. I'd like to supply a little potion while Mr. Luke and the others are moving."

"I see. Should I give you the wound-healing grass I have at the moment?

I removed a hemp bag filled with scratch healing grass from my rucksack. Before replacing it with storage, only a few potions were made that I could carry on my own, so there are enough herbs left to collect.

"Hmm, you have quite a few. I just want some more if I can."

"So, while we're on our way to Muros' investigation, how about Fisto move on medicinal herb procurement? He also has the skill to dispense drugs."

That's what Swain proposes.

"There are many players who need potion. Besides, some residents will need it too. Maybe water on a burning stone, but I think it's better than nothing"

Right. Not suitable for rough things, but anything but collecting medicinal herbs.

Insufficient supply of potions. I've been implicated in this case.
