Massive Foraging
The next day, you proceed as usual, collecting as many resources as you possible can. By your, some of the rocks and wood have been stacking up beyond 100 items. You hope that it’s a good sign, meaning you can stack up to 999 items in the same slot. Soon, even the apples, grass and mushrooms are quickly accumulating beyond the 100 threshold as well, thanks to your hard work. Just imagining all the coins you can accumulate is giving you plenty of encouragement to keep pushing on, especially imagining all the great food you can eat.
Maybe you can try your hand in some cooking, too. Processed food usually have more increase energy and value. And hopefully you can implement that to some of the common plants you find.
You investigate this matter further when you get back to town, and find out that the Guild and Tavern both buy cooked food. You’ve accumulated a decent sum of coins from selling out the goods to the Guild, but even some independent shops and stalls in the market area also buys stuff from adventurers, though different establishment accept different types of goods on their own.
The tavern lady learns of your interest in cooking, and she shares you a small recipe as thanks. You also ask her for some old cooking tools, hoping that you can purchase them for a good price. As it turns out, she does have a wok and old knife that she no longer use after a while. She event lets you borrow her kitchen, if you provide the woods and light it up yourself.
It takes some trial and error, but you manage to make a few decent items over time. You even add some seasoning, which you purchased from the local market (their selling price is much cheaper compared to what the Guild sells). You inspect each of the new dish once you’re done, and just like a game, you find that each of them reveals an energy point.
