The three guys who became my friends immediately taught me a lot about it. First of all, Yug explained to me.

'Trees can be obtained through felling skills or fall from monster drops.

Can't you get it out of the mines?

I can't. They're not that friendly.

You could have been nice. .......

'We're currently in a situation where players are flocking to the Young Tree Forest, but there's a lot of death and return.

'What?　Really?

I ask, and Crowe and Ruin answer me.

'Tact hasn't seen the board~. Don't you know the situation?''

'I see. Well, it's like you're back to death with a monster gathering you with a depleted satiety level.

Some of them got stuck in a pack of wolves.

That's a tough one. But I've never been in that much danger. I'm just lucky, aren't I?

'Is it really that hard?　I didn't go all the way back.

I'm talking about getting swarmed by army ants, getting caught in a spider's web and being eaten deliciously by spiders, and a series of trauma-level returns to death.

Wow! It's disastrous. Let's be careful. Then Hal-san speaks.

'As a medicine man, I'd like to go to the Young Tree Forest as well, but I'm having trouble because the level of difficulty is different from when I was in Beta.

Do you get any good material?

'If only it was still in beta, but we were able to get a rare level 2 Cure Leaf by harvesting it. We're in a state where we can't do business without them.

Another different skill: ...... It's a pain in the ass. Luin-san looks troubled too.

''It's hard to sell cheap potions ...... and they're bad.

Lily nodded. 'I've had a bad experience.

'Farmer wants to go to the young tree forest to collect, too, but it's tough. If I could at least do some decent cooking, I could do some business.

Huh?　Can't you cook?　I'm wondering, and Ruin-san seems to say do it.

''The requirements for obtaining the cooking skills were changed, so what's the point?''

'I know!　But I'm not convinced!

Yuna makes a fuss. I guess I can't not tell her.

'Well, if it's cooking skills, I have them.

When I said that, time stopped.

'What!　Do you have it?

Yeah.

The food at Tact is absolutely delicious!

Lily is scowling. But the look on her face tells me it's true. Yuna asks.

'Do you know what the conditions are for getting it or something?'

"Acquisition terms?

Yes. Stop.

Luin-san stops her.

'Sister Lwin!　Why are you stopping me!''

I'm not surprised.

Crowe says so, but ...... is it obvious?　What do you mean?　

I'm not impressed that you're willing to be taught a skill for free that has no known acquisition requirements.

Uh, ...... sure.

Apparently, it's an unspoken rule of VR games. Of course, I was told that there are cases where they are taught with good intentions, but it still makes sense to check.

'We're in production, so even more so, we can't have free stuff. So is there anything you want?

Hmm ...... I have a cane... ...... I wonder if I can make one out of wood. ...... Ah.

"Can you make a wooden sword?

By "wooden sword," do you mean a sword made of wood?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Yug replies to my order.

'I could make that, but I don't know about the performance or anything, you know?　I know it's probably very weak, but is that okay?

I'm fine. Please.

Okay. But I don't have any supplies to work with, so give me a little time, okay?

I nodded. When it's ready, I'm going to email him and let him know. Then it's my turn.

'I know it's a requirement to get it, but I could get it if I cooked it.

'Then I've already tried it, but I haven't been able to get it, so there must be some kind of condition. What's the dish you made?

Mr. Lewin asks. 'It's not much, okay?

It's grilled boer meat. Huh?

'Yes!　It was delicious!

Wait a minute!　Didn't you get burnt whole?

You'll be surprised. Why?

I didn't. Is that weird?

Weird!

Yuna and Hal assured me.

'Can you make me a sample?　Because I'm worried about the food that Lily is banging on about. Of course I'll pay for it.

Okay, but do you have any water?

No. ......

Well, I'll just take that.

I ask Mr. Moch's permission to go back to the pot with lots of water in it. Then I bake them in the same way as before. And it's done successfully.

'Sounds delicious: ......'

I wonder: "What is ...... this sense of defeat?

You're right. ......

Apparently, Yuna and Hal, who want cooking skills, are shocked. What's going on?

I didn't realize that the only condition for not being rushed is to bleed out.

I may not be able to bleed out: ......

Apparently, during the beta, it was okay to bake normally. He was able to get the cooking skill even if he burned it. The food itself was well received. Yuna-san and Hal-san are depressed for some reason though.

''You were a bit heady, weren't you?

'Right. At this rate, it looks like the other skills are going to be similarly changed.

Mr. Lewin and Mr. Crowe reflect on the situation. Then Mr. Yug suggests.

'Shouldn't we put this on the board?

'Yes. The other production jobs are in trouble, and the other players are suffering from bad food, so ...... Tact-kun, may I?

Ruin asks. Apparently there are a lot of hungry people in the area, so it would be nice to at least release information.

Then I lend them my cooking utensils, and they succeed in making the food. By the way, I was the one who drew the blood. And they were able to acquire the cooking skills successfully.

Apparently, as long as you cook the food you prepare properly, you won't have any problems. It's good that you can learn it. If I couldn't learn it now, I'm not going to be able to stand.

They thanked me for my help, and I decided to log out. After dinner, it's time to go piranha hunting!
