Rain was keeping his eyes out for legitimate sellers. The marketplace was brimming with scammers like that old man back there, and if he wasn't careful, his money would have been stolen from him.
Good thing he had read the library archives and asked around the forums.
Now his dilemma was where to sell his [Giant Barren Lizard Skin x1 and Claws x1] to legitimate sellers who would give him a fair price. He needed Soul Elixirs to extract water from here to the Spirit Realm.
"Ah. That girl." Rain spotted the girl in the mascot costume and approached her.
The girl noticed him too and giggled as he neared her.
"You're that hungry boy."
"Augh . . ." Rain hid his embarrassment with a light laugh. "Yeah, I forgot to eat breakfast in my haste to get here."
The girl let out another peal of laughter. "Here you go."
She handed Rain a candy, and the latter was touched. "Thank you. I'll pay for it."
"No need." The girl shook her head. "My name's Fifi, by the way."
"Rain."
"Are you a newbie too, Rain?"
"Yeah. You too?"
"That's right, though I started a month ago."
"So, are you already a novice Lord?" Rain asked, hopeful.
Fifi nodded. "That's right."
"That's amazing."
"Teehee. I almost didn't make it, though. Good thing the association sent troops and machinery for me just in time."
How envious. "They did? Your location must be near them then."
"That's right, though it's still thousands of miles apart. My territory is called White Rabbit Village and is located in Crown Jade Woods."
"Uh . . . is it alright to tell me that?"
"It's fine. I assume you already have the map from the association. If so, you'll easily find the locations of other players' territories. It's no secret really."
I did it! I did it! I DID IT!
I made a human friend!
Fifi looked at the minuscule number of contacts in her list.
She was an extremely shy person and without her costume, she couldn't even go outside her home or talk to people. Because of that, she was mostly homeschooled.
She wasn't good with boys and cowered under their gaze, which made men stay clear from her. Girls also had a hard time conversing with her because she couldn't keep up with their conversations.
Friends were few, and male friends were scarce.
Fifi liked the Spirit Realm because her troops were kind to her, and she was never alone. She also made friends with some of the inhabitants, though she had problems with monsters and beasts.
However, other players were too scary for her to handle. Some wanted to scam her left and right, while others simply didn't care. And since her territory was only a low level village, no one wanted to associate with her.
But Rain . . .
Fifi giggled and placed the phone close to her chest. She finally had her first player friend!
This was a nice day!
