"Hey, you must be Blake, the boy who moved into the Sharance tree, right?"
"Oh yes, nice to meet you."
"It's a pleasure, my name is Hazel, and the sloth over there is my daughter Karina."
"Yes, we had already met recently outside."
"So you were trying to escape again?!"
"I just went out to stretch my legs. (Although it wouldn't have been a bad idea to hide until closing time)."
"Sigh… Well, Blake, since you're here, we should explain the shipping system to you. Why don't you go over to the counter? Karina doesn't bite." So, Blake approached the counter wondering why Hazel said that unless it's been there before... So, with a bit of caution, he arrived right in front of Karina.
"Okay, Karina, go ahead."
"What…?!" Although it seemed that Karina asked that in surprise, she said it with the greatest laziness in the world.
"Explain to Blake everything that has to do with shipments."
"But there is so much that... (What a nuisance...) Actually, I think you would explain it better, Mom."
"Ha, are you too lazy to do it?!"
"Hey, I'm just thinking about the well-being of our customers." For some reason, that comment totally convinced Blake.
"Ah, really?" A small gleam of triumph could be seen in Karina's eyes, and she was about to lean back on the counter until she heard her mother's voice again.
"Well, since you're so concerned about our customers, I'll put you in charge of their farm's shipments."
"What?!" And unlike her previous expression, this one did sound totally surprised and with a little annoyance in it.
"I know you'll love it!" Just hearing the tone with which she said that made Karina resign herself to her and accept the bad luck she had that day. "Well, I have to take care of some orders, so Karina will tell you about the shipments."
"It's okay..."
"Karina! Don't sleep on the job!"
"Okay... (She's so bossy)."
"See you later." After finishing that conversation, which seemed to be normal between that mother and daughter, Hazel left the store leaving Blake with a face wondering what just happened, and Karina giving the biggest sigh of her life.
"Well, I guess it's your turn to put up with my explanation. I will try to do my best. But I don't promise. (This is a nuisance...)"
"Thank you..." Blake wasn't too convinced, but he didn't have anything better to do, so he paid attention to what Karina had to say.
"Ummm... All you have to do is put your crops in the chest on your farm and we'll pick them up. (light ones are better). We'll pick them up at five in the afternoon. (Or whenever we feel like it), and then we'll automatically pay you for them... We'll go pick them up every day. (I don't even have weekends off... Sigh). I guess that's all (What an annoyance)." Even though Blake understood everything perfectly, he for some reason felt that he had heard some comments full of laziness and annoyance from Karina, but he decided to ignore them. Then he remembered something that had happened earlier.
"Karina, a few hours ago I put some weeds in the chest, should I take them out?"
"Why do you put those things in there...? (Nobody bothers to do it)."
"I am sorry..."
"I didn't mean you shouldn't have done it, it's just that almost no one does it, even though weeds aren't in high demand, they still have their uses."
"I understand... So what things shouldn't I put in it?"
"Actually you can put anything you want, we'll separate what you can sell and what you can't, and then you can figure it out for yourself. (Although it will be a big hassle to do all that)." Blake mentally wrote down that information and reminded himself not to put anything strange inside. "Did you get it?"
"Yes... I think I did..."
"I guess I'll start today... Yawn... Why does your field have to be so far away?"
"Uh..." 'It doesn't seem that far to me.'
"Forget it... (I just hope you don't send too much)." Once the explanation was finished, the voice in Blake's head sounded again.
[Now you can see the sale value of items in the inventory.]
'It's getting more and more convenient, I should call it something...' And after thinking about it for a bit, a somewhat peculiar name was generated in his mind, which he had heard before. 'Hey voice, what do you think of the name of System?'
And again, only silence answered him.
'I'll take that as a yes.' Since Karina had decided to close her eyes and lean on the counter, Blake called her attention. "Thank you very much for explaining everything to me, Karina."
"No problem... (It's my job after all)."
"I was wondering if you could tell me what exactly they sell at the store so I can see if there is anything I need?"
"Okay… (Sigh… What a bummer). Well, we sell many items as you can see…" And it was true, around the store you could see many kinds of items, including vegetables, fruits, etc. "There are many things to choose from, but the main thing we offer is seeds of vegetables and fruits for each season, ingredients for cooking, and objects that help you in the field."
Blake carefully looked at all the objects, until he saw one that interested him and decided to buy it.
"I'll take this, please."
"It will be two hundred and forty coins. (At least he didn't buy too many things)." Blake tried to take the coins out of his pocket until he remembered that like all his other things, the coins were in his inventory, so he put his hand back into it. his pocket and thought about the number of coins appearing in his hand. And so it happened, the money appeared and he handed it to Karina who seemed like she would fall asleep at any moment.
"Thank you very much for your purchase, come back soon. (I hope it's not too soon)."
"Thank you very much, Karina, see you." Blake gave one of his typical smiles and prepared to leave the establishment while the system notification sounded again and he saw the information about what he had just bought.

'I hope that once it grows, the price of the vegetable will be higher than that of the seeds, or I will have been swindled.' And as Blake walked out the door, the sleepy silver-haired girl kept thinking about our beloved protagonist.
