Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 17: Winning a small fortune

I really felt afraid! This game has a dark side too. I asked at once:

"What are the causes of such a penalty?"

"If you attacked a player in a village or a town or city. Also if you attacked NPCs or anything related to them."

"What if I got attacked first?"

"In this case, you won't be subjected to any penalty as this is considered life defense."

"Even if I killed those attackers?"

"Yup."

"So, if I kept peace here I won't enter prison."

"Yup, be a good silly girl then."

The old Shin is back. Although I missed his funny spirit, I wanted to hit him on the head. He moved to an empty counter after waiting in line for a few minutes.

I was beside him watching every action. All of this was new to me, but Shin appeared bored. When it was our turn the NPC said welcoming us with a big smile:

"Welcome to our store. What do you want to do? Buy something? Or sell equipment?"

"We are here to sell equipment."

"What grade is the equipment?"

"They are all trash grade. "

"The price of a single trash equipment is 40 copper for each piece without any stats. If your equipment has stats then it will be bought by us with 100 copper."

I noticed the big difference between equipment with and without stats. Although we had a lot of equipment, we didn't have enough time to sell them.

In our 100 Inventory space, each one of us had at least 300 different types of trash equipment. Although that seemed larger than our Inventory capacity, we had similar equipment which could be stored together in just one block.

Shin and I emptied our Inventory in the store. That move attracted the attention of many players around us. We didn't take that in account as it was very unusual for a player to own all these equipment at this early stage of the game.

Shin tried to put water on this weak little fire by reasoning:

"We just collected them from the woods out there. There is a lot of equipment lying on the ground."

After he finished speaking, I was surprised to see all the players in the store exited it in such a hurry. While I was astonished, Shin mumbled in dissatisfaction:

"Those noisy players."

When I looked at him strangely he added:

"That way we are all alone now. No one will bother us here."

He then ignored my complaining looks. This guy was really dark from the inside. He didn't love social relations with others. I remembered him saying before that he didn't have any friends here.

Was he lonely to that degree, or was he the one avoiding others?

"Excuse me, what is the total sum of these pieces of equipment?"

"Let me check adventurers. You have submitted 621 pieces of equipment. All are trash grade. There are 27 pieces of equipment with stats. The rest are without stats.

That makes you get 26460 copper. You can get all of them in copper coins or you can get 26 silver coins and 460 copper coins. What do you think of Adventurer?"

That was a huge sum for me. From 100 copper coins I now had 13230 copper coins. That was a good start especially if we had stored double this amount or triple it.

When I looked at Shin I noticed he was indifferent to this small wealth.

"This amount of money is just too small.to learn blacksmith you need to pay 100 gold coins at least! "

It made me lose all the happiness I got from this deal. This nasty cool swordsman knew how to spoil my delight. I didn't get happy except for a few moments.

Couldn't he wait for tomorrow to tell me about that? We accepted the deal and received the money. After that, we didn't leave immediately as we needed to resupply.

I noticed the prices of trash equipment and felt angry. The cheapest trash equipment was 80 copper coins and the most expensive reached 350 copper coins.

That was a daylight steal! They bought the equipment at a very low price and sold it at a very high price. Shin was still indifferent to all of this.

This guy's experience in the game must be a long one. He knew a lot of stuff here that I don't. I wanted to ask him later about his info as I might benefit from him a lot.

We refreshed our stocks of potions, precisely the HP recovering potions. These potions helped us a lot in our fight. There were only two types of potions at the store, HP and MANA recovering potions only. When we exited from the big store Shin started complaining:

"Those stingy merchants. They bought our equipment at a very low price. If I wasn't afraid that those players might come back angrily at us I would have sold this equipment one by one."

"c'mon, cheer up. We got our first money in the game."

"You call it money? When you earn gold coins you can call that money."

"Cheer up. Copper coins or gold coins they are all money. This is just our first step in the game. We didn't play for two days."

He continued his complaints even when we bought simple bread and fresh obacle juice. This obstacle juice was in small glass balls with different colors.

Each juice glass could refresh mental fatigue and HP by 5 per second. Although it was weaker than HP recovering potion, we could use it simultaneously with potions.

We can even drink multiple juices at the same time as it has no cooldown at all. Shin stressed to buy a lot of this juice so we can play outside the village with no worry.

After we got a third round in the big market, Shin insisted that we must go back to level up. After the fourth round, I finally yielded to his pleading.

But I had many issues I needed to understand from him. He was Mr. Game Encyclopedia cool swordsman to me. So I asked him while we were walking in the big market street heading towards the village gate:

"I didn't find any stall or store that sells skills or advanced equipment."

"You are still thinking about that CC skill?"

"Yeah, I wanted to have this kind of skill. It feels awesome to tie your enemy and makes him not able to even escape. I loved this CC skill. Where can I get one?"

"These skills are very rare skills. They are not like common trash equipment that you can find everywhere. If you really needed this skill then we must start killing Elite monsters."

"Elite monsters? We had met many of them in the woods. I memorized their places by heart. Let's go there."
