Chapter 7

The rank of the paper and ink used must match the rank of the spell; in fact, that's why I bought the gold before I started the game, otherwise, it would have taken a long time to get the funds to begin with. Thanks to the unexpected generosity of my casual acquaintance, I could now make thirty-one attempts at drawing, but I needed more ink.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:47

"Would you be so kind as to list the merchandise?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:48

The NPC silently waved his hand, and I began to select the available materials.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:48

"Black Ink, sixty units. Sheet of Old Paper, twenty-nine units. Embellished Roller Feather, one."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:51

"The goods you have chosen are worth four hundred and sixty-seven silver. Do you agree?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:51

"Can I pay with gold?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:58

The NPC salesman nodded:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:58

"Sure. I've got a good rate, it'll be five gold pieces, and I'll give you six silver pieces of change back."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 04:58

The exchange rate in the game was not something static. Moreover, all kinds of coins were counted separately, and carried separately, taking up space in the bag and having their weight, not small, by the way. One hundred to one was just an ideal value, and, having a bag full of coppers, you had to convince the moneychanger that it was ten gold pieces and not seven, for example.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:00

Nine percent commission for a player who does not have a reputation or a pumped-up trading skill - pretty good.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:00

"It's expensive. Can you give me two more sheets?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:01

The NPC chewed his lips and waved his hand:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:15

"Good. I'll lose some profits, but I'll surely help a good man!"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:16

You received an item - Black Ink (60)

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:16

You received an item - Sheet of Old Paper (31)

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:18

You received an item - Embellished Roller Feather (1)

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:18

Five gold pieces were spent.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:20

Okay. It's a trade NPC, but why not give it a try?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:20

"Would you advise me, sir, if anyone needs a warrior's help? I am not looking for a rich reward. I need training before battles."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:23

The NPC responded immediately:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:24

"Young man, you should ask Mencapina, the innkeeper at the Dancing Ponies. I've also heard that the city's sewer cleaning service is having some trouble."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:25

Yeah. The rats get in the way of the ponies' dancing, and the bunnies get flushed down the toilet, and we have to save them?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:25

"Thank you, sir. I hope we will meet not once."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:31

Bow and go outside.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:31

I found the armor store without a clue. After selling the training sword for three coppers, I spent ten pieces of silver each on wristbands, greaves, leather chest armor (chainmail would have been better, but I wanted to look at the auction first), and boots. The helmet didn't appeal to me for some reason. The whole outfit gave me seven points of protection and two for the fact of having a shield. Plus the necklace, plus what I got from the characteristics, plus the aura of the temple. I'm also going to buy a helmet. Only about a quarter of the physical damage reduction I get from a level equal opponent. Pretty good.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:34

So, where is it?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:39

The channel of commerce turned on immediately stunned me with a jumble of offers and demands, from which I fished out what I needed.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:40

"Are you a blacksmith? I need a sharpening plus one."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:40

"Five silver." The player didn't hesitate long to open the trade menu. Judging by the upset faces that turned in my direction, the offer was much higher than the demand.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:41

I counted out five pieces of silver and put the sword in the craft box.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:42

The player offers to apply an improvement to your sword - daily sharpening plus one.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:44

Agree.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:44

"Thanks!"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:44

"Would you like some sharpening stones? Two dozen, same effect for an hour, I'll give them to you cheap. Even cheaper than one day's sharpening. And you can use them yourself when you need them."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:45

I shook my head:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:45

"Thanks, I'd better ask one of the players."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:45

The player chuckled:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:46

"You think you'll get a discount? You shouldn't. I even do it at the cost of reagents, just to pump skill."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:47

"Mee too. So that someone can pump a skill. It pumps faster on someone, doesn't it? Stones don't give a smith a growth?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:48

The player was quiet and then suddenly blurted out:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:48

"Are you a roleplayer or something?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:49

I smiled:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:49

"No. I'm just a paladin, and once I start paladining, why not do good? I do it for the price of the ingredients, just to pump up the skill."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:51

The player laughed. And then:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:52

The player put you in his friends list, now you can see his name

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:52

"I'm Loyni, a multi-warrior with animal taming. Come back if you need to pump some good or just fix some stuff!"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:53

I bowed as usual:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:54

"Thank you, Loyni. I took a vow not to reveal my name until level one hundred, so please forgive me."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:54

"No way. You're funny. Well, I'll see you around!"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 05:55
