A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Chapter 9



Im now at the area wheretrees grow sparsely across the meadow.

Is this a rough distinction for the second field?

Going further ahead the number of trees increases until it forms a forest, beyond that it seems its the third field.

Now now, to be impatient isnt good. I will be able to slowly hunt in this area because there are few people.

It is sad, but cooking has been firmly established in the usual place, but

I placed a vending machine to sell the dishes for me.

Stir-fried vegetables with meat 250 goru

Pseudo-herbal tea 400 goru

And for those who say that potion production is useless, I made a brand new potion.

Here is the performance:

Potion recovers 18% of the maximum HP

In addition, because it has grape juice added to it, it will also recover the thirst meter.

Creation quality: 6

Its a product that can be used both as a drink as well as a potion.

How long will it take until [Medicine] skill stops being called useless?

Kukkukku~(TN: giggling sound)

It makes me remember the luxury beverage that follows the food (TN: Didnt catch the meaning of this phrase)

The price is 30 goru. Still, its 3 times more expensive than other potions on the market. It feels expensive because the consumption of potions is much quicker than food.

But I will try to resist to this temptation

Anyway.

At first I confirm the number and kind of monster with [Far Sight] skill.

It became much easier to see beyond 10 and it just looked like I was using a telescope. (TN: The author doesnt mention a measuring unit)

In that way I confirmed it; Wolf, Spider and 3 types of Worms.

At least Im wearing the werewolf leather set armor that I purchased. Although I shouldnt just rely on it but instead try to think in evading.

In addition, all three kinds of monster might have high level perception ability.

Moreover, I also have information that the spider has poison, so I want to stay away from close range combat as far as possible.

Besides I want to ascertain the opponent ability for battle.

In other words, I hide by using [Stealth] and sneak attack with the bow.

For that, I acquire a range extension skill named [Hawk Shot] so the bow range is more than 10 making then maximum use of the bows long range.

After seeing the opponents movement, I consider to fight using [Kick] and [Wind Arts].

I take my fellow prototype composite bow and activate [Stealth]. My presence thins out.

I reached the shooting position without making any noise and aim at the Wolfs back of the head.

Even though the target is smallI just need to concentrate

[Hawk Shot] I whisper silently.

I do not shout because it is supposed to be a sneak attack.

There isnt any need to be as flashy as Hideo is.

The only necessary thing is to quietly gouge an opponents weaknesses. That is all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

To kill calmly, is simply my ideal.

Of course if I learn flashy arts even if I hate its a different matter, but now is not the time to think about it.

[Hawk Shot] gives the effect to the arrow the moment it has been shot. The arrow approaches the back of the head of the Wolf, and pierces itNice aim!

[Gyaun!?] The wolf is surprised by the arrow and then starts to panic.

The pinpoint hit if succeed has a visual indicator.

I dont miss this chance and go on a rampage. I shot the second, third arrow to the Wolfs body and only at my forth shot did is body scatter.

I engaged well the enemy by increasing my firepower by strengthening the bow and use sneak attack tactics by using [Stealth] skill.

I fight with enough margins for error, but

By only using this tactic, I can only level up the [Bow], [Stealth] and [Physical Boost] skills.

After having level up the [Bow] and [Physical Boost] to some extent I started to use the [Wind Art] and [Kick] skill in battle.

Of course, mainly on Wolves

The spider spits venom and the worm is like a huge green caterpillar.

I dont want to approach too muchI dont approve the body fluidsthey are purple!

Still, it was worth enduring and fighting. The [Wind Art] skill exceeds level 10 and [Wind Cutter] is acquired. Its much more powerful compared to [Wind needle].

Though the MP consumption is more intense, I have the pseudo-herbal tea that I created.

There is not a problem at all if occasionally I drink it between each battle.

Its just not possible to fight constantly like you do in a party.

In other words, it means I spend more time in recovering.

The [Kick] skill improved when the level exceed 15. I didnt learn a new skill but improved the footwork.

When Im holding the bow I can evade by using [Kick], also actions that use the [Foot], such as, walk or run, are much smoother. (TN: In the raw the word foot is in brackets.so I decided to let it be)

Thanks to that, its easier to evade, and also to combine the evasion with a counter afterwards.

I move my body either right or left to some extent, and avoid the wolf and worm that are rushing me.

Evade ~ Hello wide open side! Without reservation I knee that side.

The worm seems to have a weak spot on the side, and I sometimes knee strike it.

It writhes(TN: Definition Writhe: to make twisting bodily movements, as in pain or struggle)

If I use [Wind Cutter] now I will split it in two with a single stroke.

There it is, I put an end to this gross thingI have to get used to it until I find a solution

And with that kill, I get a skill level up.

After that, I change field and started to gather some medicinal herbs.

Besides the normal herbs that I gather I also can gather the ones sold in stores. Even if it is cheap to buy them in large quantities I still keep collecting herbs to later cook with them. Because I was having fun while collecting the herbs I ended up collecting more than I expected.

.though about 2 suffocation weed were mixed inI must try to feed it to a monster.

To see how they get caught in agony (TN: Wooo.welcome to the dark side!)

I wanted to secure some wood, but because I was already out of space I will do it another time.

I think I will come grab it later, because it seems that this wood would make a good bow.

I check if there were more valuable trees in there.

After gathering different material, I go back because the number of arrows had decreased a lot.

I get lighter by selling the leather at an armor craftsman and after I went to the vending machine to check the sales.

It was sold out. The dishes and potions.

A memo was left behind and I read it

[Juice is sooooo good!]

[Please stock more, its not enough]

[Its easy to drink, make it so its manufacture exclusively]

If you buy from a NPC there would exist so many reaction like this

Although I dont want to say [According to the calculation] but apparently one possible route to make money is to spend time and effort developing products.I chuckled to myself.

To think that I just kept it stock for a few days

Afterwards, the demand for food and potions skyrocket again.

But this time around there was no need to hunt me down for the cooking hell.

Moreover, there was a system attack against players.
