Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san's Detailed Pioneering~ Chapter 4

I finished sewing『Nude cushion』in shape of zabuton cushion1 and start sewing a cushion cover this time.

Although I want to do at least one embroidery, the『Sewing』tutorial’s reward was『Beginner sewing set』which doesn’t have the necessary items, so I will pa.s.s for now.

I will set the pleasure aside until I prepare proper embroidery tools.
Besides, the rewards from『Magic formations』tutorial was『Magic paper』and『Magic pen』, so my fun time can still continue for a while.

When I look at the recipe with letters and symbols of unknown meaning, it was as if『Magic pattern』was waiting for me.

My heart goes kyun, kyun at the details that look almost as if challenging me. Gufufu……

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The『Magic formations』I completed after logging out for lunch are four recipes, two of each.

Before I noticed, I had two sheets of『Magic paper』remaining.
It’s very disappointing that『Magic paper』has surprisingly high price.

It’s not like you can’t draw on normal paper, but『Magic formations』can’t be apparently completed without『Magic paper』.
Because the question of durability value of the materials has been mentioned in the beta test information, I would like to try various things.

I don’t think that completion is related when you have fun drawing, but that is that.
I want to enjoy【Frontiers】 as well.

By the time I put the completed『Magic formations』in the『Item box』my『Trader』Lv already became 15.

In addition to evolving a certain that reached a fixed level, you will be able to acquire a new derived skill, and it’s necessary to pay SPs for either of them.
The higher the skill level, the more SPs you will need to pay. Naturally, you won’t have enough SPs if not planning ahead and you will soon fall into shortage and become sad.

Maa, it’s not related to me who’s still at the beginning of the beginning, so the plan is to get『Arts』!
With this, the preparations to open a stall are complete.

Where I arrived next is a street close to【Pioneer a.s.sociation (Guild)】.

Because there would be definitely some people blocking the traffic if you could set up stall anywhere, it’s only a matter of course.

Still, the openable street area in【Capital Sabrina】is done in a way you wouldn’t get in a way.

Especially now, when the number of people increased and the【Pioneer a.s.sociation】became busy, setting up a stall in the vicinity is considered a golden spot.

Maa, naturally, the NPCs and other producers will be thinking the same thing, so the battle for the best spots will be carried to extremes…… it’s not quite like that, but the nicest places are already taken.

Even if there is a place with weak monsters right after coming out from the【Capital Sabrina】, after walking for a while, you will arrive at a variety of field areas, and you will see the diversity of monsters, and it’s the north gate that is most efficient.

Therefore, I avoid such place and intend to set up my stall in the second most efficient place on the opposite side, the south gate’s【Pioneer a.s.sociation】.

But, as if tired of the crowded north gate, or antic.i.p.ating it from the start, quite the number of people come and go.

Right, right, this much is the best, isn’t it?

The people coming and going are not only pioneers, though.

The street area in the vicinity of【Pioneer a.s.sociation】is cramped as expected, so I decided to set up my stall a little further away.
I’m selling『Copper Bucket Helm』and so on.

Incidentally, all my other equipment besides the『Copper Bucket Helm』is the starting『Pioneer equipment set』equipment.

Of course, the bonus applies only when wearing the complete set, so I’m without the bonus.

A suitable top and bottom for my purposes with many pockets, thick gloves, and high laced boots.

Even if I in reality obviously stand out, players and what appears to be pioneers are not fully equipped yet, so there are many people who are wearing partially metal equipment.

By the way, vitality is HP, when it becomes 0, and you die, you will return to the last temple you visited.
Because money and items you posses won’t drop【Frontiers】, so even if PVP is not prohibited, there’s no merit to it at all, on the contrary, there’s a demerit of being chased after.

In addition, the pioneer NPCs are included in the PVP, so it apparently isn’t operating as player vs. player system would.

Unfortunately, there are no nameplates floating above heads like in the conventional games, so you can’t totally distinguish the player from NPC at first glance.
Maa, for me who has hardly any chance of fighting monsters, I have not even thought of fighting pioneers, so the peeweepee or whatever it’s called is not worth worrying about.

Using the『Trader Arts/Lv15/Open Street Stall』, you begin with the area for a start centering around you, choosing the place depending on the items you sell is important.

Just placing an item on the ground and selling doesn’t work in【Frontiers】.

The reward included a cloth for a street stall, so there shouldn’t be any blunders since I plan using this.

In fact, this completes the setting up of the street stall, but I’m not selling anything like this, so I immediately set the prices for the items.

Currently, I have no chance of winning over the NPCs, so it can’t be helped.
Naturally, there are many players expecting temporary price cuts, so I should be able to sell.

Because selling only『Copper Bucket Helm』will make it look lonely, I also register few『Magic formations』I have completed before. Naturally, this is cut in price as well, but I think it won’t most likely sell.

If you acquire『Attribute Magic』skill, it will basically operate at no cost, although it will consume magical power and casting time instead.

Even if it was in a delicate position of sub-weapon, it’s not the talk of the opening stage where no one has the funds.

But, it’s totally unpopular as a skill.

Therefore, players fundamentally purchase『Magic formations』from NPCs and it was commonly known as the unpopular skill during the beta test.

That being the case, I don’t expect my『Magic formations』to make any profit, but I would be happy if they sell!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After setting the items to sell, I just leisurely wait.

Maa, I will think about ti when the time comes and leisurely adapt myself to the requirements of the moment.

I sit down the『Zabuton Cushion』I made in the cafe, take out the『Beginner sewing set』and start sewing.

What I’m making is『Zabuton Cushion』that will increase the level of comfort of my b.u.t.t even more.

Maa, a folding chair might be good in that case, but I made a cushion so I could easily eliminate stains.
And above all, I don’t have the skill to make a folding chair!
