nYuki quickly left the trade skill guild and went to the nearest NPC stall. She did not dare stop a player. She was afraid if she did, they might try to kill her and take what she had in her inventory. Right now, she had her livelihood in her inventory which was not something she could afford to lose.

"Excuse me.

"

nHearing Yuki's voice coming from behind him, a middle aged man dressed in overalls who was opening a bag of fresh produce turned around:

"Oh? Lad, what can I get for you?

"

n

"I was just wondering if you can point me in the direction of the marketplace,

" Yuki answered.

nThe man looked Yuki up and down and formed a scheming smile on his face as he said:

"If you marry my daughter, I will tell ya. How about it? She is really cute, so cute you wouldn't be able to resi...

"

n

"Hal! What the hell are you saying!?

" A woman suddenly cut in and smacked the man off the top of his head.

n

"Mary, I was just...

" Hal rubbed his head and looked at his wife with an aggrieved expression.

nMary ignored him and walked over to Yuki. In her arms was a newborn baby girl.

"Ignore that fool. The daughter he is talking about is right here.

" Mary bobbed the baby up and down a few times. Yuki couldn't help but smile. She reached out and rubbed the baby's head gently.

n

"One thing is for sure. Your husband did not lie when he said she was cute.

" Yuki smiled warmly at the sleeping baby in Mary's arms.

n

"You are a kind person.

" Mary said with a smile.

"Young man, I changed my mind. How about you marry my daughter after all?

"

nYuki chuckled. She could tell that Mary was just joking.

"I am sure she will grow up to find her perfect love.

"

n

"I do hope so.

" Mary said with a tinge of worry.

"Anyway. The place you are looking for is in the town center. It is to the west of the Goddess Fina's statue.

"

nYuki bowed her head as she gave her thanks.

"Thank you very much!

"

n

"No problem, dear. You take care of yourself.

" Mary smiled and then turned to go back into the house.

n

"Young lad, before you run off, take one of these. If you roast them, they taste pretty good.

" Hal handed Yuki an ear of corn.

nYuki took the ear of corn and thanked Hal before running off towards her destination. She quickly found the marketplace. A two floor building with the bottom floor being the place to do all your marketplace business. On the second floor, there were some small offices for the staff. There were about sixty players inside, on the first floor, all standing at different terminals. Yuki felt it was strange to see something so high tech in a fantasy style game. She made a note to look up more of the game's lore later on.

nHer main objective was to post her items on the marketplace. She tapped the terminal, which caused a window to appear in front of her.

"Let's see… A buy tab, a sell tab, and a currency exchange. Let me run a search for potions first, I guess.

"

nYuki did a quick search, but the most she found were some LQ potions or MQ (Medium Quality) potions. But even those still lacked in comparison to her potions, and even those cost one silver each.

"Looks like I can get 3 silver per potion instead. So each batch would be 30 silver. Let's do 30 as my minimum for each batch and auction it off from there.

" Yuki was happy to know she could sell her potions for much more. With a tap on the screen, she went to stick in her first batch.

nCrafted Item Detected: Please Create Company Brand

n

"Brand?

" Yuki was surprised. She did not expect to have to come up with a brand name. After thinking for a moment, she decided to take part of the name for her potions and called her brand Heavenly Crafts.

nNotice: Heavenly Crafts Brand created. Please select a brand logo.

nYuki was then shown thousands of images all at once, causing her brow to furrow. She could tell the game was injecting these images into her brain in order for her to register each image. Out of all the images her gaze fell on a lotus flower that had just blossomed. Thinking it was a good match for her brand, she clicked it.

nBrand Logo registered...

nWith everything now set up. Yuki went to post her first item.

"So now I just enter the starting price, which is 30 silver. The auction time will be 24 hours. Oh? It has a buyout option? Then… 100 gold… Greedy or not, I need money. What's this?

"

nAt the bottom of the item, registration was a checkbox.

"If you wish to remain anonymous, so only your brand name shows, click this box. 3% will be added to the original 3% marketplace cost for selling items.

"

n

"So an extra 3%, I can keep myself anonymous. This… Yeah, let's do this, so no one knows it is me.

" Yuki clicked the box and quickly repeated the process until everything was posted.

"Well, that is it. I can now go farm more materials.

"

nWhile Yuki was hoping for big gains, the forum for Soul Fusion Online exploded with excitement. Unbeknownst to her, as soon as her items were posted, it became a hot topic.

n@Freeloader: Did you see the potions on the auction place!? They are better than the HQ (High Quality) Potions which cost almost fifty silver to buy!

n@GreenHat: I saw them! Right now, there is a massive bidding war going on for them. The price for one stack right now is over 5 gold!

n@FingerSandwhich: Hah, when was the last time you looked? It has already reached 12 gold per stack. I wish I knew who started the Heavenly Crafts brand. I want to hug their thick thighs!

n@WhiteLotus: Do you think Heavenly Crafts' owner is a guy? If they are, I will marry him!

n@GreenHat: Who wants to marry a dude pretending to be a girl! If you're a chick, send me nudes!

n@WhiteLotus: Pervert! Who would send nudes!?

n@GreenHat: Sluts!

n@Rest of Forum: ….

nAs for the person causing such an uproar, she was happily back out in the field singing a song as she plucked herbs filling her inventory once again.

n

"Every day I try~

"

n

"Every day I see the setting sun.

"

n

" But I am blind~

"

n

"The world hates me~

"

n

"The sky detests me~

"

n

"Life is like, flowing water~

"

n

"Life is like, flowing water~

"

nAlthough the song did not seem to make much sense. Yuki's soothing voice calmed the hearts of those who heard it. Even the monsters who were scheming to attack her had settled down and all bloodlust disappeared.
