Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 220: The Buzz Market
Very rarely, all the other members of Shiraka-an are real and busy logging in.
Well, everyone but me is in some kind of real job, and it seems unhealthy to focus on the virtual world (this way) in the first place, so that's pretty good.
"... you're free."
Today was a very rare day for all of Letty.
I lay in a modest bed in my room in the basement of Shiraka-an and wondered what to do while gazing at the general chat thread of the bulletin board.
I could raise the level of my underdeveloped skills, but Armored Fish Falls is a little dangerous with my own strength.
That's why I can't wait to calm down even though I'm blurry here, and above all...
"Hey, I'm in the way of cleaning."
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
This is how a red-haired maid looks down at me.
As he stepped out of the bed and approached the corner of the room, Camille picked up the sheets with his familiar hands and packed them in a basket under his feet.
"If you're free, why don't you clean the room? I couldn't help but tell you about the chores."
That's true too. Let's get the cleaning gear. "
"I left it outside the room, so use it yourself."
I'm sure you're a maid.
"Ah, I was just getting ready to clean up!
While stroking the head of the perfect camilla until the tundelion, bring a hammer and a chisel placed in the hallway.
"But it's not very dirty."
One of the basic techniques of housework skills is "inspection", which shows the degree of room contamination.
When I looked at my room using it, it wasn't dirty at all.
I try to wipe the corner of the room with my fingers like a little girl I don't like, but I can't remove any dust as a matter of course.
Camille, when was the last time you cleaned this room?
"Yesterday. I mean, all the buildings are scrubbed and cleaned every day."
"... too capable"
Say Sarasa, the White Deer Monastery should be reasonably large.
I think it's hard to clean everything by yourself, Camille... but the boulders were full of everything but coordination.
"This room is dirty, too."
"Really?
"Contamination level is not 2"
"Normally, I think I'll clean it when it's about 70 degrees soiled...."
Higher levels of contamination result in faster deterioration of furniture and buildings themselves.
As the deterioration progresses, the damaged parts also appear, and it is necessary to repair them with skills such as "Woodworking".
Incidentally, the degree of degradation promotion at degree of contamination 2 is almost an error.
"I somehow figured out why I couldn't improve my skills."
I'm thinking of looking at the gaps and cleaning them up.
But thanks to Camille, who cleans every corner every day, there is no gap.
As a result, she is completely dead without the occasion to use her memorable chores skills.
"You can build a house, right? Why don't you clean up there?"
"No, it doesn't matter how dirty it gets if it's broken and repaired....."
"In the first place, housework isn't just about cleaning. It's my job to keep the house separate."
Nah, I see.
I was impressed by Camille, who said with his chest stretched.
Maybe I wasn't as proud of my housework skills as she was.
Maybe that's why I couldn't get rid of the dust.
……
"No, what is it?"
He flickered with his eyes wide open.
If she was nervous about whether her thoughts had been read, she raised her shoulders and opened her mouth.
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the market? Maybe we have something to dig up."
Like a mother who doesn't want to kick her daddy out of her holiday home, she shook her hataki.
Hmm, but the market.
I only know it exists.
It's a block where stalls line up and sell items freely to each other.
Until now, there were many stalls lined up around the central control tower, but the crowding made it possible to set up a dedicated place.
In Susano, it is used to buy and sell among players, but NPCs are also customers in the three cities of Wade, Sakao, and Kiyo, where high-performance NPCs live.
"I see. Okay, I'll go for a while."
"Do it. Even if you rot here forever, you're just in the way."
Guu
Running up the stairs to escape Camille, who punctured me with sloppy and harsh words.
"White Moon, back off a bit."
Wake up the white moon sleeping in the shadow of a fully seated kitchen and stand in front of the cooking table.
"... weren't you going to the market?
Camille came up from the basement and looked at me suspiciously.
I answered her strangely by leaning my neck.
"Well, if we're going to the market, we have to make some sales, right?
Camille opened her eyes for a moment and sighed loudly afterwards.
She thought I was going out as a guest, but that wouldn't be fun.
"I can cook because I have cooking skills. I have skills so I can open a stall. Then we'll have to do business."
Besides, I want to earn more money than spend it in order to get out of this tens of thousands of years of lack of money.
"... speaking of which, you were such a person."
Somehow the NPC stunned her and she disappeared upstairs with a basket full of sheets.
I dropped it off and thought about what to make.
"You've gathered a lot of materials. I didn't have a chance to use it in particular, so I think it's just accumulated."
The storage is packed with a variety of materials we have collected so far.
As well as animal materials with skills, vegetables, wild plants, fruits, mushrooms, and fish are available with skills such as harvesting and fishing.
Though my key cooking skills aren't very well developed, I'm sure I can make most of them.
"Do you also make salted raw sushi with grilled long tuna iguana?
It's the finest salmon in taste, although I prefer people who look a little bit better.
But it's not like selling it in a stall.
What the stall needs is still a live feeling.
It's a cheap nostalgia that I always buy at festive openings.
If so....
All right, let's make it.
Roll up your sleeves and put on your apron.
Excellent equipment to upgrade your cooking.
The triangle around your head makes it a little easier to create wheels.
Knife and frying pan are the basic cooking utensils, both of which are specialty items that Wade specializes in cooking utensils.
When I finished preparing them, I lit the fire quickly.
†
Wade is a large square located at the corner of the baseline.
A variety of stalls line the magnificent white stone setting that matches the town's landscape.
The shops, neatly arranged to match the guide grid, were decorated with ingenious flags and drapes, and behind the counter the owners shouted out loudly.
At the corner of such a vibrant market, a small stall stands in a discreet area shaded by tall buildings.
Whatever you hide, it's my stall.
♪
Prepare equipment around the nose song and place NPCs hired on an ad hoc basis.
Large iron plates, stoves, and simple storage (portable storage) storing materials are arranged in a casual way.
"Wow, what is this?"
"Welcome, I'm still working on it."
A random player peeks into the store and speaks up.
He looked strangely at the shop and leaned his neck.
"Hey, how did you do this sturdy stall? You can't do it with the skill of" setting up stalls. "
It seems that I am familiar with whether I am a regular member of the market or a fighter.
I'm good at such a young man.
"The stalls are customized with the skill of 'camping'. Thanks to this, it's convenient to have cooking facilities and simple storage."
"What is that? I've never heard of it."
"I noticed that just now. Hey, there's a synergy between skills everywhere."
Does this mean that the stalls and tents are the same in terms of temporary buildings?
In the meantime, when I realized that the stall that can be built in the skill "stall construction" would be broken in the skill editing system, I accidentally jumped a little.
"So, what are you selling here?
"We're all set. Well, look."
I forgive young people who look interesting and light the stove.
Vegetables and Chinese noodles that have been prepared beforehand are removed from the vault when the whole thing is warm.
And bonito (typical), red ginger and sauce, mayonnaise.
"Oh, no way!"
It's obvious when you look at them.
Young people who were watching the trend also raised their voices unexpectedly.
"Fufu, let's start cooking."
The oil jumps.
Stir-fry the vegetables and loosen the noodles.
If you just multiply the black sauce over there,
"Nh!!!!
Sounds that bounce.
That smell spreads all at once.
Fill in the rectangular box where the noodles are wrapped in sauce.
The plastic alley and rubber band were really good, but the boulder couldn't prepare it.
"We're still going."
Split more eggs and drop them on an iron plate.
As you scorch the bees and their edges, your white body becomes hot and hardened.
Shake salt and pepper on the surface, place it in a box with makeup, hang bonito from the top, and add red ginger.
"... mayonnaise, blueberries and other toppings are also available"
The store clerk NPC next door presents the price list.
The young man who saw it jumped up his shoulder and looked at us.
"Topped with mayonnaise and spicy sauce!
Aiyoo
Put the toppings on quickly and hand them over to the adjacent clerk NPC.
When she closes the lid and hands it over with her chopsticks, a bit of the price is transferred and the yakisoba falls into the hands of the youth.
"Nh! I'll take it!
The corner of the market is not a bad location.
There is a bench just around the corner where people can rest.
He travels there on a small run, puts his hands together politely, and scratches the yakisoba.
"Ugh! Ugh!
That's great.
Speaking of stalls, it feels live.
Freshly prepared dishes cooked and served in front of you will have a special taste, even if they are in-game.
Besides, this stall has other meaning.
"Oh, I also have one yakisoba! Bonito red ginger mayonnaise topped with blue sauce!
"Me too! Two without the blue one!
"Well, there's a yakisoba shop there! I love yakisoba."
"It smells good. I cook in a stall!
"Yakisoba!? Yakisoba!?
The scent of sauce spreading on the wind attracts hungry people who are tired of walking through the market.
While I was preparing the ingredients, more and more rows were made in front of the stall.
I'm glad I bought a large iron plate.
Besides, I'm glad I hired two clerks.
You can also improve your skills, like three birds per stone.
The dirty iron plate is cleaned up in an instant by cleaning the Housekeeping skill.
If you keep using it dirty, the cooking grade will drop, so you need to clean it regularly, and I want to appeal to the hygiene aspects in the first place.
I want to do takoyaki or something.
Would Neva make me a takoyaki?
Rather, I would like other chefs to come in and try various stalls.
"Here we go."
Even with that in mind, I'll burn it.
Toppings and sales are shared by hired NPCs, so they are busy but not enough to kill.
While moving Hela, I let myself go of the pleasant noise.
