Chapter 6 - Back to Money Problems

'System how do you suggest I make money?'

{Host there are a few ways, 1:farming, 2:forging, 3:work in a restaurant or cafe, 4:Carpentry}

'System which costs the least with the most returns?'

{Options 2 & 4, Host.}

'System do you want a name? Also, can you call me Erika or speak directly, you aren't a parasite.'

{Ok Erika, as for a name whatever you want}

'You seem excited. Umm... how about Olivia?'

{Underestimate stood, Erika, call me Olivia from now on!}

_______________

'Hmm... I can do carpentry on my own and I can get wood in the forest.'

{Read the book of knowledge's section on carpentry and maybe forging first}

'Ok!'

'Ok let's look for tools first, if I can't find or afford them a knife will do.'

***** At the market

'Hmm... a carpentry tool set costs 1silver.

I can afford it just barely.'

_______________

Back at home

'Olivia, what is the merge to craft thing?'

{By merging ores, enchantment scrolls, Wood, and/or monster parts. In dictated recipes, you can create things like steel ore its make-up will be exactly the same everywhere which is helpful in crafting. I.E. you supply the parts I make the product. I can also assemble stuff for instance carpenters must assemble the parts when they're done, but you can skip this step :)}

'Can I input wood for carpentry? Or seeds for farming?'

{Woods and carpentry yes, but specific parts must be made first, I can only assemble. Oh right, forging and such or carpentry can be guided here basted off prior knowledge(lv up your skills, please Erika)}

_______________

In the forest, Erika has an ax and begins cutting down trees.

'Ugg... I'm tired and I'm only through 3 saplings'

{Erika you should rest or start carving.}

{System Quest:

Difficulty: E

Sell enough stuff to get at least 4gold

Reward: INT+1, WIS+2, CHR +1}

'Ok, Olivia.'

Erika sits down just outside the forest in a meadow and begins to carve ornamental baubles for households and women's hair.

_______________

One week later, at the market

Erika has a large amount of different carved baubles, toys, and furniture (put together curtesy if Olivia) which she's selling.

Women love the ornaments and the hairpins and brooches because Erika cleverly marked them as bringing out the girls- and gentlemen for that matter- beauty within/handsome. The children loved the Woden dolls, race carriages/chariots(and heroes riding in them), and jump ropes(wooden beads on a rope, where'd she get the rope anyway?). And the furniture was practical. After 3 weeks of sales, she sold out with a profit of 5gold, 8silver, 9 bronze, and 7 stone.

'Ahh~ finally done.'

{Yes... for now, hehe}

'I think most cultivators books cost 1-3 silver so I should have enough, but trash books can cost as little as 5bronze.'
