lucas pondered for about 5 minutes on what is he supposed to do next. yes, he already transmigrated, so what? he's currently in the middle of a war. a huge war on top of that. lucas thought that his system might be able to help him but who would have thought that it was just a system that focuses on trades and the likes. . .
lucas sighed and racked his head for better solutions. he's in the middle of a war, so what is the best thing to do? of course, strengthen your body! however, lucas knew that even if he jumped and ran around here for an entire day, the strength he accumulated from improving himself through training is worth nothing, especially when the war was already raging.
[ ding! main mission activated "a trader without a trade shop?"]
just as lucas was about to fall in the depths of helplessness, the notification prompt from the system was liek a light in the middle of a dark room, giving lucas a new spark of hope. without wasting any time, lucas stood up and inquire about the said mission activated by the system.
"system, what is this mission your talking about?" lucas excitedly inquired.
[ Mission : "A trader without a trade shop?"
As a trader, it is natural to have your own shop!
> mission requirements : build a trade shop
> mission rewards : ??? ]
lucas was confused when he saw the mission. 'am i supposed to build a shop with my hands?'. as a student who majored in mechanical engineering, lucas naturally don't have any carpentry experience. it was like asking a man to fly with just his two hands. yes, lucas can build a 'shop' but he was extremely sure that the 'shop' he will build can only be considered as a cubicle.
"system, do i have to use my hands in building this trade shop?" - lucas asked worriedly. time was ectremely crucial especially when a war was currently happening, lucas needed something that will help strengthen himself, it doesnt matter if physically or whatsoever.
[ the host doesn't have to worry about that. this 'system' had a artificial building function ]
"artificial building function? what's that?"
[ artificial building function is exactly like that of kingdom building games. the host only needs to gather the resources and the 'system' will handle the building of a structure. ]
lucas heaved a huge sigh of relief when he heard that the system will build the structure in his stead and he only needed to gather the materials needed fore the building. howerver, lucas once again discovered an important thing. if i have to gather resources, how am i supposed to do that? scratch woods, knee strike tree trunks? well, f*ck it. i will do it!
without any further ado, lucas bolted towards the huge vegetation, ready to pull out any trees he can see. lucas flashed through the thich branches, agilely evading the thick branches in the front. the strange howls can still be heard in the distance but lucas paid them no heed. there's only one thing in his mind, build, build, BUILD!
not long after, lucas arrived to an area with many trees already on the ground. now the problem once again arises.
[ gift trial box given, please use them wisely ]
gift trial box? lucas immediately checked the inventory the system had introduced when he was resting in the area earlier. currently, the system only had three functions, shop, trade and inventory. in the shop lucas saw many structures, which are all unavailable to him right now. he saw the trade shop the system was talking about previously. a single trade shop cost's 100 woods and 100 stones. the trade function was the function that made a trade between him, the trader, and a client legal and contracted. meaning, those clients can't go back on their words or else, the system will fry them all and lastly, inventory. no explaination needed, an inventory is an inventory.
opening the inventory function, lucas saw a box with the head of a blue sentinel, a important monster in the game.
[ gift trial box : randomly gives one of the following ; decent pickaxe, axe, and hoe ( 1 day ) ]
lucas was delighted to see such a good gift so he immediately opened the box through the open button written beside it and a flash of yellow light made lucas cover his eyes. after a few more seconds of recovering, lucas managed to open his eyes and looked at the tool in his hand. it was an silver colored axe.
[ decent silver axe : a decent axe that can be used for chopping wood. ]
the heavens are helping me! lucas was so delighted that he couldn't help but howl happily, which was returned with a few more strange howls from the distance. when lucas heard those howls, he immediately shut his mouth and proceed in gathering the materials needed for the trade shop.
without wasting any time, lucas began his work, raising and swinging, the sounds of the axe chopping the woods reverberated throughout the silent forest. pink and crimson leaves fell from the trees as lucas continued his work
. . .
"hah! finally, i've finally finished it all!"
lucas screamed in delight while watching the huge piles of wood and stones in front of him. how he got the sotnes, if you may ask? after chopping 100 pieces of wood with the length of 1 meter, he immediately triend to make a makeshift pickaxe and was glad that it worked so after making the makeshift pickaxe, lucas immediately continued his task and here we are, accomplished mission!
[ ding! materials required for building the structure "trade shop" sufficient. beginning the building of the "trade shop" ]
under lucas' amazed gaze, the woods and stones in frot of him began to float in the air and pile themselves into one, before starting to take shape in the form of a small house like structure.
"wicked . . ."
