34 Update, Second Batch Comes

Since the game was under maintenance, after waking up I spend a few hours doing homework. When it was about time for lunch, my little sister came over.

Onee-chan! There will be an official FLFO stream!

Hee during maintenance?

The title is Yamamoto Ittetsus Killing Time Stream.

"...He did say his job is to gather everyone up, so I guess hes bored when others work?

Maybe?

I planned to do homework until the maintenance is over, but lets do it while watching.

Yamamoto-san, its started you know?

Ah, so I didnt make it in time after all.

What was displayed during lunchtime was Yamamoto-san in a dining room, eating lunch.

Hey, everyone! Its the important person here!

Thats loose

Its me streaming personally. When I finish eating I will talk about the patch notes that should have been already released, so until then enjoy looking how an old man is eating lunch.

WHAT KIND OF PUNISHMENT IS THAT.

While side glancing at the stream, we also eatlunch. Todays lunch is soumen, its nice and easy.

Lets see patch notes daily quests, weekly quests, monthly quests, half year quests were added? Meat drop numbers change as well as guild stuff.

Was daily stuff added?

Looks like it.

And Im curious about the number of meat drops...

Its the first update since the service has started, so it looks to be fairly big. There were new things added, bugs fixed and new mechanics.

Seems like Yamamoto-san is eating katsudon. He has a set of katsudon, miso soup and pickled vegetables. Looks like a pretty heavy lunch.

Thanks for the meal. So, lets go back and touch on the update.

After finishing the meal, Yamamoto-san moved from the dining room and entered a different room, then started doing something on a pad.

First, the biggest thing this time is the second batch. We plan that the number of players increases from roughly 20000 to 60000. Next, the daily quests. We added things that act as a login bonus and daily quests. These daily quests give small amounts of money. Weekly quests can give you consumables that might make you a little happy. The monthly quests give a luxurious version of the weekly rewards. And half a year quests reward is, a WHOOPING 10SP.

If you dont log in, everything will be reset will not happen, the daily quests accumulate. If you finish half a years worth of quests, you will get the reward for sure. Even if you are out on delegation, it does not matter since they accumulate.

Just like the Life in the games title suggests, if you spend half a year in the game its only natural that youll learn new skills, right?

The daily quests contents were varied and apparently you can pick what you want to do from among the daily quests. Looks like they reduced the I need to do my dailies feel to the minimum.

There are things like Plow x fields Gather x vegetables Craft x number of potions Eliminate x mobs and so on. Theres even read x books.

If you think there is no daily for my playstyle! you are free to put up a request. I think most things can be implemented.

The weekly quests consumables are the same thing I could choose back when I reported a bug except for the SP. There is a Combat Consumables Set (Potions and so on). Crafting Consumables Set (materials). And 1 hour skill experience boost ticket (has to be used within 7 days).

By the way, as for the experience boost its adjusted so that increases the speed of leveling first tier Skills by quite a lot. For second tier it makes it, well, a little easier? And the for the third tier its hardly perceptible?

Potions and materials that come out are matching the users level.

The monthly quests in addition to a slight sum of money, allows selecting from the same line-up of rewards as weekly quests, but the number of items you get is higher.

By the way, since one day is four days in the game, it will use real-time days. And thinking of the people working late, the dailies will refresh in the morning.

Next is oh this, we will add a dungeon to the Starting Town!

Seriously?! A dungeon!

Now, Im sorry to deceive you but its a place with which you of the first batch have nothing to look for.

OH...NO...

My little sisters energy fell below critical levels. So, its that, a measure against crowds?

Although the Starting Town is fairly wide, theres a problem with respawns on hunting grounds, you see? And so, it will be an instance dungeon, if it turns out for you that theres too many people and I cant hunt then you should go there.

There are no bosses or anything, so it was really just an anti-crowds measure.

The enemies that appeared in it, were ones from the Northern mountains, Eastern forest, Western forest, Southern forest and the towns surroundings. Aside from mobs that appear inside, the mechanics are the same as those of normal dungeons. Looks like I will be able to go there to get some Rabbit and Wolf meat.

Its the type that changes every time you enter it, and there are three types of area: a plain, cave and a forest.

Its supposed to exist for quite a long while, too. I guess that after the second batch, there will be the third?

Then, next

He gives a simple explanation on other things that are added, while eating ice cream and sweets in the meanwhile. The account he uses for this is his personal one, so its really his personal stream. Its a different account from the one where FLFOs trailers are put up.

About five hours after the stream started. It was about time for the maintenance to end.

Yamamoto-saaan.

Whats up?

Everything is on schedule, no problems.

Then open up at 5 p.m. like it was announced.

Roogeeer.

And so, did you download the patch already? Are you prepared to log in? Im sure there will be a lot of beginners equipment to see in the first town!

Seems like there will be huge crowds for a while I would love to evacuate, but I have business with Ertz-san. Also, Ellie and Abbie will be coming, so I cant avoid it anyway. Above all, I logged out in the Starting Town yesterday.

Now, my homework has progressed a fair bit. Lets leave it at this for today. The stream has ended, lets get on standby to log in.

Alright, logging in

Stand by for log in. Please wait. 1052 left.

Ah, yes. Looks like there is traffic restriction. About a minute later I manage to log in.

The icon that appeared in the right corner of my field of vision is a daily quest, huh? What should I do today Ehh its based on the Skills I have. ...Create cuisine items. Create items with Alchemy. Gather items there are plenty of types.

Combat crafting gathering.. others oh, there is reading books, too. Must be from Linguistics?

Alright, lets do some cooking. Ertz-san isnt online yet, so lets make jerkies and put them up on consignment. I get out of the room and borrow the yard.

First I make liquid for smoking by mixing salt and sugar in water, then put Wolf Meat slices inside and marinate them. Then I useReaction Acceleration... I dont have enough MP. I disable Inventory Expansion, wait until MP recovers and use it again.

After jumping two days, I take out meat and lightly remove salt. Then, I useHumidity Controlto dry it before throwing them inside the smoking tool.

When the smoking is over I take it out, leave them be for a day and its all over.

Hmm lets repeat this about five times. One piece of meat is 60 jerkies. One person can eat multiple jerkies, so 12 per person. If I use 5 pieces of meat, Ill have 300 jerkies.

When I was waiting for MP and making them, Ertz-san logged in. I finish crafting them, go to the Merchant Union to put them up on consignment, and lets go to the usual place.

Daily quest complete reward: 1000. I think they took the pocket money wording too seriously. Well, lets go to Ertz-sans place.

After saying thanks to the innkeeper I leave the inn and outside, I see similar-looking people there are no twintail drills in my field of vision so lets go to Ertz-sans place. We can always contact each other in real to set up a meeting.

I thought it would be hard to walk through this crowd, but it seems like everyone is opening a path for me, which is so nice of them. Lets boldly walk through the middle. And just like that, I head to Ertz-sans place.

"...Whats with that, Mozes(?), Moses(?)-like effect?

I dont know why, but it seems like everyone makes way for me. I was able to walk straight here thanks to that, so I guess its fine? More importantly, I brought ore, so I would like to sell it and order some things...

Sure, no problem, what do I make?

One-handed hammer, one-handed sword, two-handed sword, small shield, large shield I guess?

Thats plenty of things. Theyre for Necromantic Magic, right?

Yes indeed.

Can they use bows? I would need to talk with Primula-san for that, though.

How much will it cost?

Lets see the best I can do with iron now would cost 850k in total, one below that would be 600k. From there its plus minus quality and materials.

Is iron the best you can do?

No, its steel. Im looking for a way to improve quality now. If youre alright with C, then I have some made.

Hnn how good can you make now?

About B, I guess. But it would cost over 1m to get them all at B, yknow?

Well, thats no problem. I earned plenty during the combat tournament.

Ahh, back then. Let's see right now I have a one-handed sword, two-handed sword and a large shield at B quality.

One-handed sword and two-handed sword are very basic and popular, so he often makes them. He only happened to make a large shield though. Lets have him contact me when he manages to make the rest at B or higher quality.

Looks like I will finally be able to buy a store!

Oh, the long-awaited?

A 1m income should be enough. Then, how about exactly 1m for everything? Lets see to break it down, the one-hander will be 230k, two-handed and large shield 250k each. Small shield 150k and the hammer 120k.

One-handed swords are popular, two-handed are popular and require more materials, the large shield requires a lot of materials. Small shield and hammer are a result of a discount. There is no problem, so lets go with that.

Ohh, and yeah. Lets have my Disassembly Knife repaired and buy two more pickaxes. Before going to withdraw money, I sell the ore and the ant materials. I earned roughly 90k with that.

Then, I once again go to the union and withdraw about 650k more that I need, then buy a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a large shield and two pickaxes. The weapons cost 730k, the repairs and pickaxe additional 4200.

Thanks for patronage! Wait a little longer for the one-handed hammer and small shield. Is there a type of one-handed hammer you want?

I wouldnt mind a mace. If its too complicated, my Servant might not be able to use it.

Simple is best, right. Leave it to me.

Oh and, do you buy the defensive battles iron drops?

I can crush and recycle them so I do. The price depends on the equipment itself.

Lets have him buy the iron sword, spear, axe, dagger and greatsword. It amounted to a total of 9000. I only left myself the one-handed mace. Small shields like these are also sold in stores, its not made from iron so I get to keep it. I dont have a replacement yet, either.

I receive the equipment and throw it inside Necromantic Secrets.

Oh, and by the way. If you hold equipment that requires too much stats for you, there can be a penalty. Will you be alright?

"............Summon, Skeleton.

It will be faster to actually try it. I summon two skeletons, one with one-handed sword and large shield, the other with two-handed sword.

Oh, bones.

"#1, is there any problem with new equipment?

The two skeletons moved for a while before nodding with a *KLOK*, so it looks like its alright. Is there no restriction for servants in that regard? Or maybe its because they are boosted by my skills?

Looks to be alright.

I see, thats great. I guess were still in the blue in regard to these kinds of penalties.

"#2 can swing the two-handed sword, so I guess he has some stats?

Apparently low STR pure mages cant even lift these up

They can fight in the second area, so they should be stronger than the second batch, I guess? I dont know what will happen when Light Magic hits them, though.

Is Necromantic Magic strong?

I wonder? In my case there are multiple buffs that I give, so...

Ahh, I see.

There is no one to compare to, so I cant say anything. The AI level alone is higher than my base, but that should not have any effect on stats.

By the way, got any food on you? Sell me some.

Nnn if you are okay with Bear Soup, then I have some.

Oh that, I dont mind.

How many do you want?

Six, I guess?

No problem. 800 each, so it will be 4800 in total.

Sure.

I sold almost everything during the combat tournament, so I dont have much on me Thanks to that my inventory slots opened quite a bit. Though, I dont know if nine slots can be called quite a bit.

Should I do some cooking? Lets make rump steaks and sandwiches. For bread I only need to cut the baguettes and sandwich things in between.

"Sup!

Hey.

Good day, Primula-san.

Primula-san slipped through the crowd and started opening a stall next to Ertz-san. As usual, I open up the Cooking Kit in the back.

While frying a rump steak, I make baguettes. To be more precise, I wait for the MP used byReaction Accelerationto recover as I fry a steak. For the ingredients for sandwiches I use cabbage, I mean, I have no lettuce? Other than that, I use roast beef. But since roast beef uses the brick oven, I first make the bread.

I used Art to create the base from yeast, then kneaded and prepared dough until I had no MP left.

When I had no MP left I prepared the steaks, then threw the bread dough inside the oven. Next I put in the beef tallow, garlic and meat, and start frying. When both sides are fried, I put in brandy and do a flambe. When the flame disappears, I move the steak to a dish and leave it be. After that, I rotate the bread. Next, I start frying another steak and take out bread.

In this game, they are finished at about the same time.

We get food-terrorized for the first time in a week!

Steaks are not fair! Sell me!

I dont mind.

Me too.

It was 1000 something?

1200. Buffs are up to quality well, wait a moment longer.

Got it.

I fried meat, took out the bread and stopped cooking for a moment to sell the steak. ...Oh, theres a buff. I pull out the bread and note down. Rump, garlic, brandy, steak DEX.

Its B+ quality and with DEX buff. 5% increase for five hours, so 3000 I guess.

BUYING!

"...Time for a dice roll.

Its five hours in real time. Since a day in-game lasts 6 hours, its a really nice buff for crafters.

I give the right to buy it to the one who get sthe higher roll on 1d100. The two select a dice roll from the menu, select a type of dice to display and materialize it in mid-air. Its as big as a little child, hm?

Three, two, one!

Hangh! HNGHh! The two threw their dice and I wait for them to stop. Looks like there is no player collision with the dice, so its impossible to kick it away. It ignores other players.

On top of the stopped dice there was a pop-up displaying numbers. It also displayed above the players that threw it.

PHEEEW!

NGHHHAA!

Looks like its Primula-sans win.

Lets go back to cooking then. If I make one with DEX, lets sell it to Ertz-san.

I take out the freshly-baked baguette, split it up into three and cut it horizontally. There I put cabbage lets slice it finely. I put sliced cabbage on the bottom, then roast beef, and finally stir-fried welsh onion before covering it with gray sauce and its complete.

Speaking of which, I still havent made anything deep-fried, have I? A chicken cutlet would be good for sandwiches Or beef cutlet I have both flour and potato starch so there is no problem. If there was any, it would be that I would have to make a more delicate bread than french bread?

Hmm...

Would you two buy sandwiches if there were some?

Well, were in a game. So I would buy some if you were selling them wouldnt the folks who do combat be more happy about sandwiches?

There are unexpectedly many people who were struck by despair when monsters came during meals and they ended up spilling your food, Princess.

As expected, they were retorted to by eat in a safe zone!.

And theres some people triumphantly boasting that jerkies are tasty. They are quite rare, after all.

Which means there are people who continue combat while eating with one hand.

Cecil-sans party definitely has both jerkies and cuisine. I think they ate cuisine when they can be at leisure, and jerkies when they focus on hunting.

Ever since the combat tournament, meat started appearing on consignment, too. People on the cooking board were in delight and made various things, so its now possible to buy various foods.

Looks like everyone has realized that both selling meat and buying it to make cuisine is worth it. Thanks to that, there are cooks on the cooking board who reached second tier skill, acquiredReaction Accelerationand their productivity has increased a bit. A bit is because of MP consumption.

On the other hand, because everyone has learned the taste of cuisine when eating hot dogs, the consumption has increased and the crafting doesnt keep up again.

Now, that aside. As for deep-frying. Lets use wolf no, the soft rabbit meat. But Ill do it later! First I make baguettes and steaks.

Steaks were made with either STR or DEX Sandwiches only VIT I note. If there was something that made me curious, is the fact that freshly-made baguettes got no buffs. The moment I make them into sandwiches, they receive a buff however. Is it because they are too simple? What about croissants? I have butter so I can make them...

I put croissants aside, and craft the things I had in plan to craft. As a result, I made 50 steaks and 40 baguettes. Lets decrease the ovens temperature and make roast beef for sandwiches.

[Cuisine] Handmade SandwichRarity: NoQuality: B

A baguette sandwich with Roast Beef, Cabbage and Welsh Onion.

You can enjoy bread with chewy texture, soft meat and fresh vegetables.

Satiety +30

Additional Effect: Increases Vitality by 5%.

Effect Duration: 4 hours 30 minutes.

Cook: Anastasia

By using the baguettes I had in my inventory, I made a total of 123 sandwiches. Looks like I made a little too much roast beef. I have two left. Well, I can just put it away.

If you have DEX, then Id love to buy 2, 3 more?

"Me toooo.

I dont mind.

In the end, I sold another 4 each to the two, so I earned a total of 24000. Really sweet.

Oh, right. Primula-san, do you have any bows for beginners?

Hnn? I should have one yes, I do.

Could I borrow it?

What will you do?

Ill have my #1 hold it, and will check whether he can use it.

Ahh, you mean the mass-produced Ske-san. Sure.

Thank you very much.

Mass-produced Ske-san well, Im not retorting. I dismissed the two I had summoned this whole time and after changing #1s skills, I summoned him.

Can you use it?

"*KLAKKETY*

So bow is no good? Why is it?

You dont have enough stats?

"*KLAKY*?

He doesnt understand it.

You dont know how to use it.

"*KLOK*

I see, so theres a bigger problem than just stats. Which means thinking of how he can use swords and shields normally, I can safely assume that it must be his AI level thats insufficient? If I taught him how to use it he probably would learn it, but yup, its a pain. Lets leave Skeleton Archers for later, I give the bow back to Primula-san.

"I just learned that it will take some more time until he can use bows. Its alright since thrust attacks are low on my priority list...

Its possible to give equipment to human-shaped summons, but also pretty hard?

At this point there are no human-shaped summons among other summon-type skills.

The Summoning Magics and Necromantic Magics mechanics are different, so even if you summon the same skeleton with both, there will be differences. Which one is better is up to the user to decide, but in regards to Undead, from best to worse it would be Necromantic Secrets, Necromantic Magic and then Summoning Magic. It would be troubling otherwise, since its a skill that only allows summoning Undead.

Well then, lets log out once. I have a meal and a bath, then log in again.

You came at the right time. I made the mace and shield.

Hm? Its already done? Ill go withdraw money then.

Sure, it will be 270k.

I go to the Merchant Union and take money from jerky consignment. I received 110k and a little, after deduction of the fee. Next I withdraw the rest of the price. Emm about 100k. I have 3,4m and a little left. Thinking of the armor I need to buy, it will disappear at once lets leave it for later. Lets go back and purchase.

Here...

Certainly, thanks for patronage!

I change #1s equipment to a steel mace and a large shield. Lets leave #2 with a two-handed sword for now. I leave the mace that I used before for #2 to use. Yup, it should be fine.

Hey people!

Yahoo.

Hey.

Good day, Dantel-san.

Dantel-san opens a stall next to Ertz-san, on the opposite side from Primula-san. Salute-san and Nephrite-san also came at almost the same timing, Salute-san opened a stall next to Primula-san and Nephrite-san next to Dantel-san.

The five gathered and started talking about stores. Looks like they want to buy stores as close to each other as possible, and matching their needs.

Alright, what do I do until sleep time?

Tasha found!

Finally found you, Tasha!

Ah, this voice is or rather, the number of people who call me Tasha is too limited. When I turned around, just as I thought, the twothe two fufu.

"...Isnt it rude to laugh the moment you see someones face?

Oh no, you sure have exaggerated it, havent you? These are really splendid drills.

Are they not?

While saying so, she brushed them with her hand but due to the game adjustment, her drills bounced back. Ellie had THE drill hairstyle. Abbie had long twintails with a roll on the bottom, her drill power seems fairly weak?

She splendidly brushes them but they bounce and return to being drills, which looks kind of fun.

Tasha, look at this!

Abbie said so, puts Ellies drills on her palm, raises them and bounces them back and forth like springs.

Fufufu...

Its fun!

Hey, could you not play with someones hair?

Glared at by Ellie, Abbie came clinging to me and bounced off the sexual guard. Shes in shock. Lets put her in the exceptions. She came clinging to me once again, so I pat her head.

Ellie and Lettie, you two are humans? And Abbie and Dorie are devils?

Thats right. Looks like they are going for angels and puppetteering.

And you, Ellie?

Im thinking of using a whip.

Thats are you focusing on appearance?

Indeed.

The moment she uses a whip, she will change from an ojousama to a queen, so I think it would be better to take something else...

How rude!

Leti had retorted and shook her head saying good grief. Once Ellie has decided on something, she will do it. Lettie knows that well enough.

For now, I register the four as friends.

Ohh, right. I will give this to you, Ellie. Split it between yourselves.

Nn potions?

Nope, trash.

HEY.

Its low quality TRASH that I made when I was leveling my skill. Still, they should recover more than the initial ones, so use them early on. Residents wont buy things below C quality, and racially I cant use them myself. I was wondering about how to get rid of them.

"...What you said bothers me a little, but well have them.

My storage is cleared! Honestly, I thought of throwing them out, but they should be plenty good for Ellie and others. Oh also, might as well introduce them since they are already here.

If you want dresses and maid outfits, you can ask this person here. Hes a top clothier, so the price might be high.

Hoh? Dresses and maid outfits? If you let me take screenshots of you when I make them, I will give you discounts. I can also pay you for modelling in different clothes but before that, anyone seen silk? Im pretty sure it should be somewhere, mm.

Its still unknown, after all. Although there is nothing that looks like a boss in the second areas and ahead, the enemies in the third area are simply strong so we cant go there. It will take a while.

I also introduce them to crafters other than Dantel-san. Although, I dont know when Ellie and others will get to use Ertz-san and others stores. Mainly due to the prices. A single weapon costs at least 200k, after all. Especially since there are many slots to put armor and accessories on.

Well, I did introduce them so my duties are fulfilled. Negotiate the prices by yourself.

By the way, Tasha, is there no tea here?

Im searching in secret, but I cant find any. Its a world that has royalty and nobles, so I think there should be some, but it feels like there is a problem with distribution?

Hmmm Looks like we need to raise our levels and get used to it first.

Otherwise they wont be able to look for it.

If only my dress coloring was a little better... I could charge into a merchant company. Looks like the tea leaves issue has to be put aside.

In the end, as I talked with everyone, the time to sleep came. I guess this is fine from time to time. In a way, its one of MMO pleasures.
