Preparations
Syd sat down in a position that was ready to listen to what Lysa had to say. If he was to say, he would proclaim it was quite fast for her to get a mission in the Outskirt. Lysa, sat in a comfortable posture, ready to divulge about mission details.
"The thing is, while I was at the weaponsmith workshop, I overheard two players discussing the situation in a place called Lowground Wild. That place is a swamp-like area that is known to inhabit Tier 0 Goblins." Lysa began explaining how she got the mission.
"Recently, the Goblins there were beginning to grow largely in population. They had created a territory there with massive defensive structure. From what I heard, the Goblins were ruled by an Early Tier 1 Goblin Warrior."
"I don't know how it happened, still as it was my turn to repair my main equipment, the old man looked at me and said that before he could repair my equipment, I had to bring the heart and a few bones of the Goblin leader in Lowground Wild. I was shocked because it was unexpected."
Syd processed the entire information he had gotten from Lysa. If one was to look at the situation with clear eyes, it was like killing two birds with one stone — them leveling up faster to avoid being enslaved and then casually annihilating the Goblins for extra rewards from the weaponsmith at the Outskirt.
"What do you say? Are you in or not?" Lysa asked with a raised eyebrow and a teasing smirk.
"I'm in but I have to empty my INVENTORY," Syd said."
Did you find any store to sell your items?"
The look he received from Lysa told him something was wrong. It was that same look she gave him when he asked about the Instant Skill Shop.
"Are you innately stupid or were your senses deprived of basic consciousness?" Lysa insulted him in a question-like tone. "Didn't you notice that there's a [SELF-AUCTION] in one of your tabs?" She facepalmed.
It was then it dawned on Syd. He still couldn't blame himself for not realizing the existence of the [SELF-AUCTION] tab.
"Just enter the FORUM, search for <@LegitPrices>, check the prices of the items you have in your INVENTORY and sell in the [SELF-AUCTION]." If one were to not have known Lysa, they would have seen her as a person with sage-like wisdom. Syd shrugged his shoulders, opening the FORUM tab in the process.
Messages, threads, comments and posts were flying here and there in the FORUM tab. It was just like a social media app on Earth. He found the search bar located at the lower-right hand on the Panel Screen. With a keyboard popping up like that of a keyboard from Earth, he instantly typed in the name 'LegitPrices'. The person who went by the nickname 'LegitPrices' was actually a Merchant who had a chain of small to large scale shops across seven continents including Sapphire Gates. He had a whooping two-hundred-plus million followers on his FORUM page and had his business logo as his profile picture, 'Wilber Superchain".
Syd skipped the unnecessary parts and initiated his search for the price of the various items he had on him. Few minutes later, Syd had sold everything in his INVENTORY except one Smiter-X AR, one Polar-0 Sniper and their rounds, the Disruptor, Transport Upgrade, Metallic Wings, and Explosive Throwing Blades. Only eight of his thirty INVENTORY SLOTS were filled.
"Alright, I'm done. Let's go visit a mechanic workshop to get my bike fixed."
With that, Syd paid for his drink and left the inn with Lysa by his side. He walked over to where he parked the bike. With Lysa tagging along, he revved the bike before speeding down the dirt road and turning right. In the few minutes of riding around, sightseeing and while searching for a mechanic workshop, Syd was sure he knew the entire layout like the back of his hand.
He rode the bike into one of the open garages that had people dressed in jumpsuit overalls. Syd handed the bike to them and also handed them the Transport Upgrade card with him. Since he didn't dabble in the ways of the mechanical repairs, he handed the upgrade to them.
Within the period of fifteen minutes, the bike looked brand new and he could notice a few changes to the body.
The two compartments that were each placed at both sides of the bike had turned to four, with two on each side.
Its single exhaust pipes had turned two and with the feel of the seat, Syd proclaimed that it had gotten comfier. He paid the Players who worked at the workshop fifteen thousand five hundred GC before he left the environ with Lysa.
"Have you checked your [SELF-AUCTION] page?" Lysa asked all of a sudden while he rode the bike in a carefree style.
"No..."
"Well, I just checked it... There are no items there." Lysa spoke.
"Well... Congrats to me."
Half an hour later, Syd had changed his outfit into a medieval-style mode. A white long-sleeved shirt with a black leather monkey jacket. A matching black leather fitting trouser was added and a black 'SaWeNa' brand boots complimented it all.
His entire dressing cost him about forty-thousand GC, which was like a drop in the bucket to his current money. He had twenty-three thousand four hundred and twenty GC after paying for his drink at the inn and the mech guys, then after sell almost all his ACQUIRED, he had earned a whopping sum of seven hundred and fifty-five thousand GC. If he is to sum everything up, that was exactly seven hundred and seventy-eight thousand four hundred and twenty GC. So, Syd just shrugged his shoulders over the 'little' amount he spent.
Lysa was dressed in a black, war princess gown. She had black band wrapped against her thigh. Within it were the two Explosive Throwing Blades Syd had given her upon their first meeting. She had two Lvl.30 Rare Grade Katana firmly latched in their sheath that was placed on her back. Two pistols with the same design were each secured by her waist. She had the typical dressing of a lady going to war.
Syd could not say how much Lysa had, but she spent another five hundred thousand GC on purchasing an off-road 'VRX-Speedster' vehicle. With all the necessary and unnecessary preparations complete, Lysa and Syd sped out of Farhent Outskirt, with the former driving a VRX-Speedster and the latter riding a Zephyr Bolt XR5.
