Chereads / The ghost dungeon master / Chapter 14 - Trade

Chapter 14 - Trade

~~~ A few hours later ~~~

Waking up, the ghost possessed one of the idling skeletons to gather some herbs in the crypt, as he had remembered that the group is currently resting.

He headed towards one of the other crypt which wasn't cleared out by that group earlier.

Since he is the dungeon master, the monster that spawned in the crypt isn't hostile to him, he soon found a golden root on the wall, by imitating the way the warrior Clifford harvest, he cut and tried harvest the golden root. After he harvested the first golden root, he heard a ding sound, he checked his skill if there was anything new.

______________

(Apprentice) : able to learn basic forging recipes ~ New!

Realizing that he was possessing a skeleton he immediately check the skeleton's skills instead.

______________

(Apprentice) : chance to harvest poor/normal/good quality herbs ~ New!

Seeing the description of the skill he took out the golden roots to check it's quality.

______________

Item : (uncommon)[poor quality] : Affects the chance of successfully crafting a potion, this quality of roots is usually use as food / tea.

Seeing that the quality was poor, he wanted to check if that group have a better quality harvest. So he deactivated his possession skill and turn himself invisible using the new cloak that chibi had gotten from the gacha. As he approached the party in the room, he crept up slowly in the front of the member who is guarding, just to test if the invisibility is working. After almost reaching face to face, he realized that he won't be caught, so he flew into the room next to them and phase through the wall.

After a few minutes of searching around, he manage to find the golden roots in one of the bags.

______________

Item : (uncommon)[normal quality] : Use to create potion in alchemy.

"Hmm, it seems like the roots they harvested are of a better quality than what I am getting from my harvest now, I wonder if they would be willing to trade with me. Let's try it later when they are leaving." the ghost mumbles to himself.

After thinking about it, he went to tasked the skeleton and the other idling skeleton to continue harvesting the golden roots and leveling their harvesting skill.

He headed back to the dungeon master room and begin checking the price of golden roots and the ghost caps. Wondering what he should use it as a trade he remembered that he had a rare staff.

"Hmm, I could ask for 30 ghost caps and 30 golden roots for an equivalent exchange." Thinking about, he prepared a note and place it into a chest, he next sent the chest to the middle of the main hall of the first floor. Next he went to dig out the magic staff from the pile and placed it into the other chest.

After he had done that, realizing that he had nothing to do, he begin checking Kuro's status and the skeletons status.

"Nice, I wonder how many skills we can upgrade."

"Mr ghost, they are awake."chibi came over and said to the ghost.

"Are they doing anything?" the ghost asked.

"They are just harvesting the blue mushroom." chibi said.

"Oh, okay." the ghost thought about it and wonder, "will I get the weapons if I kill those possessed weapons?"

Thinking about it he headed to the crypts which his skeletons are at gathering the golden roots. Next he summoned 2 bone spear and task the skeletons to kill one of the possessed weapons. Although they don't aggro onto him, but it takes a long time before he managed to kill one of it. When the weapon dropped onto the ground, he picked it up and check.

______________

Item : (Common) : +5 Atk, durability 2/20

"Hmm, the weapons that they got don't seem to be broken or so damaged, is it because of the holy spell that they use, I wonder if other magic works as well?" after thinking about it, the ghost tried using ice bolt on a possessed weapon, to his anticipation it had died much quicker.

After checking the weapons that he farmed, he took a looked at the ones the skeletons had farm, a few of it was broken, and about three weapons were near broken. He took all of them along with the skeletons and teleported back to the dungeon master room.

"Mr. Ghost, you're finally back, it seems that group have just harvested finished, and are packing up their items." Chibi came running over when she saw the ghost teleporting in.

"Okay, thanks." After the ghost stroke chibi's head he flew over to check the dungeon live broadcast screen.

On the screen, the group had a long discussion on whether they would want to do the trade. The ghost begin counting the number of herbs as they were placing it into the chest.

As soon as the chest begin to appear in the dungeon master room, he immediately send the other chest with the magic weapon over to them.

While the group was cheering, the ghost tasked his skeletons to take the weapons he had just farm in the crypts into the blacksmith, while he took the herbs out and place them into the alchemy room.

He took a look at the potion recipes and realized that he is missing one of the herbs to make potions. Since he couldn't do anything with alchemy, he headed over to the blacksmith.

Once he arrived at the blacksmith, he begin smelting down all the broken weapons and those that were near broken which were farmed out from the crypt. After smelting he got back 1 steel bar and 4 iron bar in total. Next he started repair the weapons that were in better conditions.

"These weapons can be use as rewards for dungeon divers or for exchanging with items I need. I wonder if there is a automated changing machine." the ghost immediately when into the item shop to check, however, it seems that he couldn't find anything close to it.

Before the ghost decided to knock himself out again by summoning a zombie, he tasked his 2 idling skeletons to clear up the other crypts by killing the possessed weapons, as he is afraid that it might overrun with possessed weapons. He also change one of the obstacle course layout to a trapped version for Kuro to train, the last thing he did was to get the heavy skeleton cavalry to train on it's charge skill.

~~~ A few hours later ~~~

The ghost got the skeletons who were clearing the crypts to come back with the items. They managed to get about 6 iron weapons, 4 steel weapons and 1 broken magic weapon. He got them to sent the weapons to the blacksmith. He headed over to the blacksmith and smelted all the weapons down. What he got in return is, 3 iron bars, 2 steel bars and 1 mithril bar.

Next he got the heavy skeleton cavalry to train with swords as he took the iron lance to repair it.
