Chapter 11-20

Chapter 11
With his newly acquired funds, Jack got up and exited the now empty association building. He used the system to scan the bag and found that it contained twenty-four silver coins and eleven gold coins.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that they barely deserved to be called coins. They were loosely cut and had no image on either side. Regardless, Jack made his way to the town square in the city’s center in search of a place to spend the little wealth he had.

After around five minutes of walking, he could see numerous small tents and stands scattered across what looked like a large medieval rock garden. Jack hurriedly entered the sea of people perusing the many wares presented.

He soon discovered that all similar products and services were bunched together. Apparel and accessories were to the north, trinkets and magical items were to the east, beasts and any beast related items were to the west, and weapons were to the south.

Thanks to Zariff, his weapon was already very good for a lv. 1 and Jack knew he wouldn’t be lv. 1 for long, so he didn’t bother with the many weapon stands. The east was where his attention went.

Jack took a lap around the many shops while fiddling with the stat gem in his hand. While on his second lap, a hoarse voice called out to him, “Boy, need me to embed that gem into something?”

Looking back Jack saw an older man with tattered facial hair at a small stand. Thanks to his years of experience playing the game, Jack did well to spot most of the fake items and scams during his first lap.
