If she remembered correctly, there were 4 or 5 quests to do for the ingredients the Guild Ingot needed, most of them being in the Capital, while one being in an alchemist shop in Helbens, and one in some other city.
So she headed to the Brimming Cauldron. Other than the shop having the magical equivalent of a neon sign, it was pretty much a normal shop out of a fantasy world.
The shop was a single storey building of half-timbered walls, with carved wooden doors and a smooth stone floor. It was brightly lit by magical candles and chandeliers.
There was the Orc alchemist Kindorf. He was possibly the only yellow orc in Helbens.
Sand Orcs belonged to the desert in the Orc Country Rognird, they were a tightly knit community, where only those who had abandoned the tribe could leave.
Wood Orcs, the ones that players could become, had the largest and the most welcoming tribe of all the four tribes.
Sand Orcs were, well, less welcoming than them, but if you could prove your strength, they would become more hospitable.
Unless you break one of their laws, then you're dead, because it's the people who carry out the justice and they didn't have prisons.
So, yeah, they were intense people, but Kindorf was a nice guy, he was actually shy, unless you make him angry, then, yeah, he's intense too.
There were a few items on the display.
"Potion of Swimming
Description: You can't swim? It's okay, take this potion, for 5 whole minutes you'll body will be that of a natural-born swimmer.

There were more on the shelves, but none the one she was looking for, so she went to the left wall, where a number of tasks were written on paper, put up for those who wanted to complete them for rewards.
Luckily, the quest she wanted wasn't done by anyone yet.
"Quest:
Bring the following herbs to Kindorf-
1) 40 Nev Ragon
2) 40 Nagi Vyu
3) 40 Oupne Vagoun
4) 40 Nale
5) 40 Two Daun
Also, don't die ^‿^ "
Rewards:
1) Dissolving Potion
2) +100 EXP
"Accept Quest?"
Well, yeah, everybody would go after a good fighting quest, that's at least a B difficulty quest, a C level quest, that too in which you have to bring 200 common herbs.
It would be too time consuming, and the reward would be the Dissolving Potion, a potion that dissolves a metal with a (Not for use in combat) tag on it, and a little bit of experience.
Well, you'll have to be a blacksmith and you would have to REALLY like plucking out herbs in a fighting game. Moreover, if someone decides to take you by surprise, the quest is gone, it's failed.
{I'm pretty sure, he wrote it as a joke, but the system took it seriously.}
So, she took it and spent the next couple of hours to look for the herbs, exploring the places around Helbens, fighting any monsters she encountered. She even levelled up once.
She logged off at about 6 o clock, because she wanted to make the food for her brothers again, and something big at that.
When she logged off, there was a message on her phone. "Hey bestie! I'm coming over for our sleepover."

Author's Note: How much time would you take if you had to collect all the herbs given?
