Amy and Zaine look around the place, a wide array of equipment arranged neatly on the walls. They split up to search for items that catch their eyes.
Zaine looked around the armor section. He has been searching for armor since he summons monsters. He does not need a sword. However, he still can't defend himself well, so a shield or armor would be good.
As for Amy, she looked around the staff section, searching for a staff that could increase healing output and mana. It was not long until she found several staff to her liking, and she showed two of the ones that caught her attention the most to Zaine and ask his opinion of it.
"Zaine, which one is better?" Amy brings two staff before Zaine different types.
Lesser Holy Staff: a reliable staff for novice healers. Carved from sacred oak and adorned with simple holy symbols, it gives off a faint comforting aura. This staff helps the wielder to cast restorative magic, allowing them to enhance the power of healing.
Lesser Enhancing Staff: designed to enhance the healer's support capabilities. Made from polished maple wood and inscribed with symbols of strength and resilience, it boosts the quality of buffs, such as increased power or magic power.
Zaine looked at both the staff and its properties, with both having their advantages, so he could not decide.
"I think it depends, Amy. The first one gives more healing but lesser for a buff. The second one gives more buff but less healing, it's up to you to decide."
Amy thinks about it while waiting to see what Zaine is buying first.
Zaine picked up a magic armor. One that can reduce the effect of elements on them, making Zaine take less damage from fire, water, air, and ground-based attack.
Seeing that Zaine bought protective armor, she thinks it would be better for her to purchase the Lesser Enhancing Staff.
The blacksmith has been with them the whole time, giving details about the equipment they were looking at.
"A lesser enhancing staff for the girl and a chain armor for the boy. S'dat it, young ones?" Ask the blacksmith.
"That will be five silver coins."
Zaine and Amy looked at each other. They realized that they had no money. The place where Amy was only offered canned food and artifacts as payment, so they had no currency to pay for the equipment.
Zaine told Amy to wait while he rushed outside to sell his belongings.
Amy had no chance to reply to anything, and there she was, left alone. Amy glanced at the blacksmith, who stared at her. She could only smile while facing the awkward interaction.
Zaine rushed around the village, and he finally found a butcher. He went inside and met the butcherer, a young girl cutting a head of a cow, not a sight you see every day.
"Umm, hello there. Are you buying any meat?" Ask Zaine, hoping he could sell the meat of the giant boar from before.
"It depends on the price. If you give us cheap meat, I will buy it from you."
Zaine pulls out the giant boar meat from his bag.
"Oh my god, is this a giant boar meat?! I'll buy it from you, all this for two, no... Three gold coins." The girl is weirdly enthusiastic while rubbing the meat with her hands.
"Okay, deal. By the way, it's still ten silver coins for one gold coin, right?" Ask Zaine.
"Of course, it is. What are you talking about?" The girl wonders the question from Zaine.
She paid for the meat and thanked Zaine for his patronage.
Zaine went back to the blacksmith and paid for the equipment.
Zaine and Amy decided to see the Adventurers Guild again to check for the available quests.
They open the door, and only the receptionist there greets them.
"Welcome to the Adventurers Guild. What can I do with you today?"
The adventurers that were on the Adventurers Guild have all left, which makes Zaine wonders where they had gone off to.
"Excuse me, umm, where are all the people here before?" Ask Zaine.
"They all went out to do their quest already. It happens every day. They all take their quests and set off to do them. It usually takes a couple more hours until the first one returns to submit their completed quest." Explained the receptionist.
Zaine wonders, with the number of people left before, if there are still quests available for them.
"I see... Is there any more quest available for us today?" Ask Zaine, wanting to know the current situation.
"Yes, there are a lot of quests appearing every day and every time. Here are the currently available quests. Please take a look." The receptionist showed them the array of quests.

Zaine looked through the quests. This time the rewards are coins that can be used to buy artifacts.
Zaine had stored a lot of goblin ears inside his magic bag, so he submitted the crazy amount of goblin ears to the receptionist, his mouth wide open as Zaine continuously took out the goblin ears, filling up the Adventurers Guild.
"The total is 500 goblins... Here are ten gold coins for the reward. Thank you for completing the quests..." Said the receptionist with a troubled face.
Zaine looked around the quest again and decided to take on some for tomorrow.
Night had come, and they wandered around the city. Finally, Zaine and Amy dropped by one of the tavern inns and had dinner at the tavern before heading upstairs to rest the night.
