Chapter 10: Multitasking
Walking down the street, Virgil held a quotation in his hands, on it was the price and value of each part and materials from the demonic beast and other places in the giant beast forest.
How can someone travel the world without money? Of course leveling is important, but making money is also important…
But here's the thing, he simply came into this world without knowing the market conditions. He wouldn't know if someone tried to sell him a piece of crap for 10 gold coins, wouldn't that be just fantastic? That's why he asked for such a quote from Fei Fei.
Then, as he wandered around listlessly, he read the quotation. In this list, in addition to the price of materials, there is also the price of equipment.
But here people don't call it equipment, they call it weapons. Therefore, excluding normal weapons and armor, equipment that gives certain bonuses to stats are known as armaments.
Based on their effects and power, armaments are divided into 5 levels: conventional armaments, rare armaments, golden armaments, legendary armaments and the strongest mythical armaments!
And his D grade kusanagi sword is just conventional weaponry.
But don't think that just because it's "mainstream" it must be a piece of trash, saying mainstream is not saying that everyone in this world has mainstream weaponry.
Mainstream here means that most warriors and magicians are limited to using this level of weaponry, that's why it's mainstream.
Take the average warrior or magician, if he has a good skill he would possess one, but if he is broke then he can only wait until he reaches level 5 or 6 before he can wield one. Only those supers of level 7 and above would possess rare weaponry, like Fei Fei, she has rare weaponry!
And of course, Lulu being the only daughter of a noble family, she also has rare weaponry. But even so, this is the sweet 16th birthday gift she received from her father, before this, she was using conventional weaponry.
Golden armaments, level 7 supers wish to have this, leaving those with miracle encounter out of this context, these are reserved for level 8 and 9 supers. Lulu's grandfather, being level 9 himself, wields golden weaponry.
Legendary armaments are less than 10 in the world of Silvaria, their locations or whereabouts remain unknown.
Lastly, when she was handing over the quote, Fei Fei told her that the mythical weaponry is so rare that no one has heard of it, let alone seen it. Only when she was little did she hear from Lulu's grandfather that during the era of the Gods, when the 4 Gods were still here, there was one of these legendary armaments.
When he heard it he was speechless, the system estimated that this world is approximately ten times the size of Earth. And she is telling him from times forgotten until now, that there was only 1 legendary armament!
Classification of system notes; D, C, B, A, S correspond to this world's classification of conventional, rare, gold, legendary and mythical weaponry.
Hearing the system chatter about the rankings, he felt joy and irritation at the same time.
Due to the fact that there is grade S equipment within its system.
And not just that, there are more than 1 armaments, unlike this world, although not much, but the system definitely has the right to show the middle finger to this world.
Because these equipment are worth their weight in EP, even the cheapest one costs 1 million EP!
In short, he only has 24,000 EP, his work to reach S-grade status was difficult for him.
After being upset for a while with the price of S grade equipment, he changed his perspective, he is just a level 20 beginner, compared to the standard of this world, having a conventional weapon at level 3 is pretty good in itself. If not for that, he wouldn't have been able to rely solely on his skill and the kusanagi sword to kill that damned wolf.
Fodder for a slime who only had an impractical knight's sword in his hands, the failed biatch with no conventional weaponry was actually a leader of a corps of knights in the largest noble family in the Ailu empire. Even though he was level 3 and with such training he had no conventional weapons, this serves to emphasize how much this world lacks weapons.
Virgil was planning to obtain C-grade armament, but he gave up on the idea. They are normally in the hands of level 7+ supers, if he used them as a level 3, he hypothesized that the level 7 supers would undoubtedly steal his ass…
Finally completed the last page of the quotation, he has a basic knowledge of the world market, at least it would not be so easy to deceive.
This is an afterthought at this point because he doesn't have a single piece of gold on him. Without money, even if you want to be deceived you can't, you can't even stay in an inn. Having dismissed Lulu he was ashamed, it would be an episode he won't soon forget.
Therefore, he just wants to quickly become a mercenary and, through that, make it rain gold with missions!
He is eager to sell things from the system using EP. These things could be arbitrated for this world due to the system's better terms and this world's inefficiencies.
He could use some EP or IP to exchange some things and sell them. For example, his sword Kusanagi costs 3,000 EP, but if he sold it at auction, it would fetch at least a few tens of thousands!
On the other hand, completing missions allows you to fight monsters, climb some levels and obtain rewards in missions. Cultivating for money and levels could never go wrong, so he thought of taking this path instead of the one mentioned above to fatten his purses and grow in strength.
Arriving at the mercenary guild, as soon as he pushed open the door, a wall of noise came out to greet him, stunning him right then and there.
Within the guild, the mercenaries and everyone divided into large and small groups. Everyone is making noise and eating at large and small tables.
There are people who have just returned from missions, celebrating, looking at the missions, saying goodbye. Of course, there are also those who hang around doing nothing but talking and talking nonsense. Since this is a mercenary guild, there are old and young and people of various moralities, that's a given….
Should we say what is expected of the famous mercenary guild glorified in the novels? Truly spectacular…
If there's one thing he's learned about this guild, it's that this place has sickening sound insulation. he didn't hear a creak outside this place, but boy was he going to be in for a shock when the door opened.
"I can help you?"
A team that looked good called him over with a professional smile on their faces.
"I want to register as a mercenary, what is the procedure?"
Not attracted to leaning more towards 2D and hanging out with Lulu and Fei Fei, he got straight to the point.
"Understood, to be a mercenary you need to be at least level 1, right?"
"I have reached level 1."
{I'm level 3, level 1 is for noobs.}
But of course it would be rude to say that out loud.
"Well, then fill out this form and pay 2 silver coins, that's it."
Passing him a form, she just smiled at him. He can clearly see it as the day written on his face: "Fork it over."
Rolling his eyes, he just took out a magic crystal and confirmed with her.
"Magic crystal will do, yes?"
Looking at the crystal, the smile on his face brightened even more, she let him finish speaking before continuing.
"Gu… but if you use magic crystal as payment, we won't give you change."
Let it be known that this is a level 1 magic crystal, which can be worth 100 gold. So that the tragedy of staying at the inn wouldn't happen again, he stole a piece of magic crystal from the poor slime. Without this, he wouldn't even be able to pay the processing fee.
But what can he do, he's broke as hell... a man without money is no man at all...
"nn, do whatever you want…" Acting calmly, he returned the form and picked up a mercenary logo with D on it, he left without turning his head back.
Arriving at a location close to the entrance, the guild board appears where the missions are posted. There, another pretty receptionist was working.
Looking up from the board, he rubbed his chin.
What mission should I follow?
There are missions ranging from S to D, as long as you have health, the guild is not afraid of you taking on the challenge.
"Help me register for the red honey, giant cow skin, and rainbow water quests, please."
He asked the receptionist.
"Very well, please wait…"
After he finished recording, a sound passed through her ear and was transmitted to her mind.
[Mercenary Mission: Grade C!]
[Mission 1: Get 10 x Red Honey]
[Reward: 5,000 Ep, 5,000 Ip, 3,000 Ap, 3,000 Sp]
[Mission 2: Kill 10 giant cows. Obtain 10 x Giant Cow Hide]
[Reward: 5,000 Ep, 5,000 Ip, 3,000 Ap, 3,000 Sp]
[Mission 1: Gather 1 liter of rainbow water]
[Reward: 5,000 Ep, 5,000 Ip, 3,000 Ap, 3,000 Sp]
His jaw dropped on consecutive missions.
Why are mercenary missions the same as the mission assigned by the system?
It can't be, could the mercenary mission and the system mission be completed at the same time?
Okay, he is very pleased with this development. With this, your way of farming to earn points is guaranteed. Of course, killing monsters is a way to earn some points, but just by doing that you can only gain IP and AP, although he doesn't need Ep at this point, they are free points, who wouldn't want that?
The most important thing, however, is the Sp!
The most critical ingredient for summoning 2D shoujos!
And then, the haggard guy who got 'scammed' out of his 100 gold got all shiny and shiny.
It seems that your mood changes according to the numbers….
Leaving the guild, he went straight to the giant beast forest in a great hurry…
