Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san's Detailed Pioneering~ Chapter 7 Part1

I set up a street stall near the same【Pioneer a.s.sociation】in the south as before and register the sale list.
The『In gate time』is close to a night, so most NPCs already closed their stores.
But, there are still many people. That’s because many pioneers act regardless of day and night.
Especially the players, the time changes only in the game, so they don’t get sleepy. Then, what about the NPC pioneers? Pioneers who receive the blessing from G.o.ddess need to sleep only for a few hours and act similarly to player pioneers.
Still, the majority of NPCs act during the day and rest during the night.

That being the case, the night time is a dreamy time with no NPC store rivals.
In other words, there’s a high probability of selling even without cutting the price.
Naturally, there are also players who will wait until stores open before purchasing. But, most won’t wait patiently.
Rather, the first day of『In gate time』has already pa.s.sed so the beginner equipment should be going out of stock.
Even though players start in several countries, a tremendous amount of people should be buying equipment.
At the time of the beta test, NPCs demonstrated their superiority, causing player producers to receive serious damage, but that shouldn’t happen this time with the modification.
Still, because many people know of the tragedy in the beta test, the number of player producers is low.

In conclusion, my copper equipment sold out in a blink of an eye.
My prediction was apparently correct, after all.

In the darkness of the night illuminated by magic lamps, only every kind of『Magic formations』and a waiting line for『Zabuton cushion』remain on my sale list.
My wallet situation has already swelled to nearly three times the initial funds.
My Wallet-chan gradually withers just like that as I purchase materials at a higher price than the【Pioneer a.s.sociation】.

It’s for the next investment so it can’t be helped.

There were people interested in『Zabuton cushion』while I was buying materials, but as expected,『Magic formations』are still no good.

But, a little more time and pioneers should have enough surplus of money to buy them.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

As my wallet becomes considerably lonely, I end the sale and close up the stall.
It has been a while since midnight, but the tavern still seems to be operating well.
Rather, only the tavern, the【Training School】and the【Pioneer a.s.sociation】which operate 24/7 are currently open.
The tavern seems to be closing at 3 am.

Food and drinks normally exist because NPCs need them to live and even players are able to produce them.
Hence proper skills exist, but unfortunately, there’s not much meaning to meals currently.
There should be effects when the skill Lv goes up, but that can’t be expected at the start of the beginning. Cooking that adds additional effects at NPC shops costs quite a lot, so you can’t eat them without a good surplus of money.

It’s nice not getting hungry and thirsty because we are in the game, isn’t it?
On the other hand, I won’t grow fat from eating sweets and delicious things, so I want to eat a lot when I make enough money
Because I’m forced to lead an overly healthy life because of various reasons, I’m glad that I can eat food and drinks as I please, you see.

While thinking about such things, I acquired a new skill for the next production.
I can produce most single material protective gear with『Molding』and『Completion processing』, but weapons don’t work like that for some reason.
Weapons are more expensive than armor, so I think it’s a good balance, but well, in other words, it would be better to have several skills to produce weapons.

The newly acquired skills are『Carpentry』and『Leatherworking』.
These are also skills that can be chosen early, so it costs 1 SP each to acquire them, but that’s not that big of a problem for me who has many skills above Lv 10. I will be able to regain them quickly.

Thankfully, I was able to take short courses in the 24/7【Training School】and successfully obtain the rewards, so it’s the time for the pleasant, happy producing now.
