Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san's Detailed Pioneering~ Chapter 3 Part2

My planned trademark, full face cylinder shaped『Bucket helm』.

You could only understand the wide field of view after wearing it. It seems they did not stress on the shape of armor. As expected of a game.

The comfortableness after putting it on is also not bad. Because the obstruction of the armor is low, to begin with, I hardly feel anything.

But, I feel little something after all.
Let's improve it then.

The production in【Frontiers】allows easy post-attachments after completion.
As one would expect, changing the shape and performance would be difficult, but it's very easy if you add something that does not affect the performance.

Production equipment is not necessarily essential for production.

Therefore, as long as it's little things, renting a new facility is not necessary.

I produce a simple cus.h.i.+on from the materials I got in a tutorial, attach it to the inside of the『Bucket helm』and it's completed in no time.

Incidentally, the simply made cus.h.i.+on seems to be recognized as a ma.s.s of a material and not as an item.

The finished product is this.

If it changed just by attaching a cus.h.i.+on, that would be amazing.

There's no change in performance, but when I wear it, ara, how mysterious. The cus.h.i.+on made out of a soft cotton cloth is a perfect fit with a gentle feel.

Therefore, I can safely stay in the full face helmet without any worries.

By the way, I have received many basic recipes from the tutorials.

『Magic formations』are only 2D images because that's enough data, but in case of『Smithing』, etc. and the use of『Arts』, there's 3D tutorial.

My『Copper Bucket Helm』wasn't made according to a recipe.

Maa, there's seem to be a high rate of failure if you don't have the complete form's image.

Although the names are set automatically according to the recipe, when a creation is original to a certain degree, it's possible to name them yourself.

Of course, it's only natural because I have aimed towards such result, but I was able to name it『Bucket Helm』thanks to that.

Maa, it's no different performance wise from the『Copper Helm』, though!

I put on the『Bucket Helm』which was made more comfortable with the simple cus.h.i.+on, and make the remaining『Copper ingot』into『Copper Bucket Helm』.

Because I have decided to make all head equipment『Bucket Helm』, I won't yield in his area.

Because I won't be able to win over NPC producers at the beginning, ingenuity is necessary while selling as well.

Because there should be a lot of players expecting price cuts, I aim at that demand.

Kan, kan, kan, I strike while imagining, chiku, chiku, chiku, chiku, sew a cus.h.i.+on, and it's finished!
Five of the same performance ★3 helmets were safely finished without a single failure.

It's important to raise skill Lv first if you plan to make things with high performance.

Anyway, it's important to do relevant actions to raise the skill Lv. Furthermore, if you do it carefully with patience, you will get more experience.

I have run out of『Smithing』materials, and the time is just right, so let's move on the next action.
Because I still have some initial funds remaining, I could continue with the『Smithing』for a little bit more, but I'm not really in a hurry, so there's no problem.

Because two hours have pa.s.sed since I entered the【Rental production facility】, the huge crowd of people has already dispersed.

It has nothing to do with me who's unrelated to combat, though.

I discover the place immediately while walking with the map menu open and enjoying the surrounding scenery.

By the way, the starting point I chose is【Zabrina Kingdom】and the current town I'm in is the【Capital city Sabrina】.

For the time being, there are various things enough to enjoy myself. Although it would be probably better to go to a different town, I won't be able to obtain the high-rank materials because of the NPCs turning the economy around.
Maa, I naturally don't have the money for the transport fees and my skill Lv is in the same situation.

The【Zabrina Royal Library】looks like a small castle.

Although there are bookstores as well, my initial funds are slightly lacking, I naturally narrowed my choice.
Maa, since there's a library I should use it, it became such simple decision, though.

When I ascend the entrance steps and open the door, a large mountain of books inside immediately comes to sight.

Let's. .h.i.t the reception first and read!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

…… There was a time When I thought such.
The beta test resulted in modifications in various places of【Frontiers】, but I didn't think that the library would be modified as well.

The【Zabrina Royal Library】which lend books free of charge during the beta test began to charge an admission fee.
Moreover, the fee is something that my initial funds can't handle. Furthermore, a sad reality of needing a new skill hit me.

Since there were a lot of modifications, only a big part was listed in the official HP or the management policy of 【Frontiers】.
They basically meant for the players to discover the other changes themselves. Anyhow, we are in a setting where we are the pioneers, after all.

Because it can't be helped, let's move to the next place.

I decided to move up my schedule and stroll around the town.

Strolling around the town for a producer player like me is important.

Maa, I could get them myself, but it would be difficult with my skill set.

There are several methods of selling items.

However, it does not mean that every trader will buy from you.

Furthermore, they won't buy all of it. Every NPC will purchase only what it needs, they will even try to take advantage of you or beat down the prices.
Of course, it seems that there are many cases where price negotiation is necessary from the beginning because the opponent also has to live a life.

The second method is to sell to the pioneers.

Those who prepare equipment, fight, and gather materials are called like that.

It appears that there was a situation in the beta test where the equipment sold by NPCs temporarily disappeared from the stores.

That's where the turn of the player producers should be, but the superior NPCs will cope with the situation in a blink of an eye, and spoil the player producers' start as a result, causing the numbers decrease until completely exterminated.

But, there's was a measure against that in the official HP so it should be all right this time.
Maa, it still won't change the superiority of the NPCs, so I'm slightly afraid, though.

Naturally, I pick the second method.

The skill『Trading』will be useful there.

I should rarely run in troubles with pricing.

Using it will allow me to open my own stall in an area of my choosing.
Naturally, it's a street stall as the name suggests, so it's very easy as spreading a cloth on the ground.

【Frontiers】supports a system that allows putting price tags just like real stores. But, a method of using selling item list is fundamentally used as it prevents system-like shoplifting and theft.

It doesn't really matter to me, but one should utilize convenient things.

That being the case, I walk around the town gathering the market prices in order to raise my『Trading』Lv first.

Maa, I'm mainly strolling around the NPC stores. The more items there are, the more market information I gather.

What I understand from seeing the various stores is, that there are almost no items left in the beginner shops which sell weapons and armor.

All that's left is equipment with prices that doesn't seem to be possible to obtain without considerable effort.

Maa, I will take it easy and enjoy myself no matter how it turns out.

My『Trading』increased already to Lv10 after walking for about ten minutes.

Looking at the『Smithing』that raised to Lv8 after two hours of smithing, I can clearly tell how fast it levels.

However, the growth becomes remarkably worse after Lv10.

You apparently can hit Lv15 by slowly going through every nook and cranny of the stores, but there's an easier way to level, so I will try that.

Maa, it's just simply shopping, to be frank.
It's just it will make my purse extremely lonely, so to balance it out I will purchase only what I truly need.

What I need is…… that's, of course, cloth and thread!

There's no choice, but to give up on it. But, there are many wondrous subst.i.tute materials in this fantasy world of【Frontiers】.

For example, this one!

＝＝＝＝

Material/★3
＝＝＝＝

Although it makes you hesitate because of the name, it's actually a smooth, elastic, pure white cloth.
Would the polyester be the nearest thing with the most similar feeling?

I bought various necessary things and make『Trading』became Lv14 just like that.
But, my purse is already quite lonely, so I endure, endure.

There's an open cafe near the cloth shop, so I decided to take a short break.

I could borrow a magic sewing machine in the【Rental production facility】, but I can sew even without it.
Sewing while relaxing with delicious milk tea makes me feel quite luxurious.

I love sewing and st.i.tching little by little like this.

Because people are still concentrating on the hunting grounds, the visible pedestrian traffic from the open cafe is not that much, so it's quiet with an exquisite, not too loud BGM playing.

Yeah…… it's a very luxurious time.
