Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready

The next day Yuki and I go pumpkin hunting, we log in at the usual time.

I need to get some herbs to make potions first.

When I went to the talking room to move out of the portal, Dwan and Illis were there.

Looks like we're both on a break.

"Good evening, both of you. Are you taking a break?

"Ah, good evening -. I don't know."

"Mm-hmm. I'm taking a break from creating the gear I was taking on for a while."

"Oh well. Speaking of which, do you have the shotgun parts I asked for yesterday?

"Of course I can."

"It's in the warehouse of the clan as usual. Take it out of there and follow me."

"Roger, thanks. Well, I'm going to get some herbs."

"Yeah, I'm not careful."

"If you run out of parts again, don't tell me."

"Aye. See you later."

Move from the Clan Home portal to various locations selling medicinal herbs to collect potion materials whenever possible.

When I went back to the clan home after purchasing the material, there was no one else in the conversation room.

So I checked the marketboard to see if the herbs I bought from residents were flowing to the market, but they still weren't for sale.

There will be no residential (NPC) monopoly, so I think it's probably because of a dungeon that no one has reached yet, or because it usually lives in a place that people don't get close to, but it's also hard to find it myself, so let's just put up with the number we have right now.

When I went back to my workshop because I was ready to make potions, Yuki was in the middle of cooking.

The ingredients on the workbench are the Magical Pumpkins and Wild Pumpkins I picked up yesterday.

"Ah, Twa, good evening. Is Twa going to produce it?

"Oh, I plan on doing that. For now, it's from potion making."

"For now, do you still make anything after that?

"That's a shotgun prototype after that. It's not that difficult to make, so it won't be too hard."

"Right. I'm struggling with pumpkin dishes, as you can see."

"Really? Doesn't look like he's struggling that much..."

"Um, if you eat the prototype, you'll see. Just take this."

Two types of simmering were given to me.

One would be a magical pumpkin and the other a wild pumpkin.

But somehow it looks...

"Before cooking, they are both regular pumpkins, but boiling changes the color..."

Both should have been green skins before cooking, but the magical pumpkins are brown and purple to the wild pumpkins.

"That's right. Just try it."

"Oh, okay"

I don't want to eat michi, but I can't say no more than recommended, and for now I'm going to try it.

Magical pumpkin first...

"... I don't know, I thought pumpkins were originally sweet ingredients, but this is so sweet"

"Yeah. Magical pumpkin dishes make it so sweet."

"If it's this in a simmer, it's going to be tough when you make it into other dishes."

"I also make pumpkin salad. … close to dessert when it comes to adding or subtracting sweetness"

I see, is it hard to add or subtract when it is so sweet?

True, this sweetness would only be used for dessert systems.

Okay, Wild Pumpkin next, but what does this one taste like?

"... sinister"

The wild pumpkin stew was tannic.

Somehow, it's sinister to the extent that I can't express anything else.

"That's right. Wild pumpkins are really sinister when you cook without removing the skin."

"... Is this okay if I remove the skin?

"Yeah, I was fine. By the way, this is the stewed dish that removed the skin."

Yuki gives me the next simmer and I try to mouth it.

Then the flavour was that the pumpkin felt fragrant for some reason without feeling the sweetness.

"... it's not tannic, but this doesn't taste like pumpkin."

"Yeah, that's right. It might taste more like spices or herbs."

"... even though it looks like a regular pumpkin"

"Right. For now, if you're a wild pumpkin, I'm considering if I can use it instead of herbs. I made pumpkin gratin to try and see, but it turned into herbal gratin, not pumpkin gratin..."

"By the way, when do I have to do this skin removal thing?

"I guess before I put the fire through. So when you cook wild pumpkins, you have to peel them off first."

"... that's quite a heavy labor."

"I'm not. Mr. Dwan makes a peeler that cuts well, so I just use it to peel it off."

"You're a well-cut peeler. What are the materials made of?"

"He said he made it out of extra adamantite."

"... you're a very luxurious peeler"

"Besides peelers, they make kitchen knives and knives."

"... Dwan's a guy who makes a lot of things too"

"Thanks to you, I'm doing a lot of work."

"In the meantime, I know how it's going. So, how does it work as a dish?

"It looks like INT and MND will be served on dishes made with magical pumpkins. If you're a wild pumpkin, maybe STR and VIT."

"Does that mean you can add more to the effects of a normal dish?

"Yeah, I am. So if you cook well, you can cook dishes that have more than 4 different stats, or only a certain stat can rise very much."

"That's the event ingredient."

"Right. That's why I need you to help me collect pumpkins again."

"Oh, okay.... By the way, what happened to the spear I was getting yesterday?

"I've already fused it with the Holy Spirit weapon. The effect of the buffs is minimal, but they're starting to put me on top."

"Oh well. Was it a buff-enhanced spear? Now you're a weapon that can enhance both buffs and debuffs"

"Right. So I wonder if we can fight on the main Holy Spirit weapon in the future. I'm a little nervous about endurance."

"I guess I'll just have to restore my endurance to Vertigo. We can have as many demon stones as we want, so let me know when we're short."

"Yeah, okay. Well, it's time to get back to cooking."

"Oh, I'm sorry you let me stop you"

Yuki went back to the work bench and seemed to try pumpkin dishes again.

Well, what dishes are coming to completion.

Let's just say I finish making potions and get into making shotguns as soon as possible.
