Well, after talking with Oak, a lot became clear.

Nika went crazy because of the ban, the Blacksmith himself is what he calls himself, and I can only withdraw money from Zabava through an auction of items or currency.

After generously bringing the cat out of the horror with two servings of food, I locked myself in and entered the game.

Having finished the scarecrow, I was delighted. Finally, the second stage was completed.

Congratulations! You completed the task: training (Dyatlov region).

Reward: experience (10), coins (10 copper)

New mission received!

*Training (stage 3/3): crush the monster*

No skills, no good amount of experience.

Dyatlov Bear (level: 1)

Experience: 20/1000

Money: 20 copper

HP (health points): 10/10

MP (mana points): 10/10

SHU (mustache scale): 58%

I went up to coach Freud and asked:

- What should I do next?

– Enter the forest and defeat the enemy. But for this you need to go not to the safe area where we are, but a little further. Here's a map for you, the regions are marked by monster levels, - I received a scroll.

Congratulations. Now you have access to *a map of the area*.

But the *map* item is more effective than the built-in terrain map. In addition to monster levels, you will be able to see an uncharted place.

Don't lose!

I got an item that is considered one of the most important in the game. A training card is issued only after training, it is not available in stores. It shows any terrain within a radius of ten kilometers, and the scale can be zoomed in and out.

But many score on these pluses, since this card is lost first after death.

Well, I never got the combat skill, although the training is clearly designed for this. Sadness.

But this is secondary. The main thing now is to spend copper, and not stupidly lose them after traveling to the temple. I need a weapon.

And there are differences from region to region.

Somewhere you can buy only a knife for 10 coppers, somewhere even a rusty sword, and in one region in general axes with a huge attack, but low durability. Ha, ceramic weapons. What developers jokers.

Ugh, and I already forgot that miracles in feathers and without roam on the local streets. An NPC passed by in clouds of censor blur.

Yes, my burdock skirt did not even arouse a hint of interest among passers-by.

Phew, I do not stand out among a bunch of people shining with censorship.

It is good that there are still in the statistics of the region: 1.

I looked through the list: the Dyatlov region is included in 318 territories in which there are no inhabitants. I do not consider myself, because I am here unconsciously.

Dung region, Wormy, Moldy, Infested... I wonder what they are called in the language of the developers? Horror.

I went to the weapon shop of the starting village of this region and… left.

A knife costs 12 copper, a rusty sword 20, an ax 50, and then only more.

Clearly, there are good alternatives: a forge and a hardware store.

The first option turned out to be closed until tomorrow (that is, wait 4 hours of real time).

The second option was open.

I wandered around and examined the assortment that could be mistaken for weapons.

I still won’t see a detailed description, hidden functions, attack radius and other characteristics at my level anyway, so it’s already good that you can pick it up and see the main thing:

Old hammer:

Attack: 2-5

Durability: 12/100

Price: 8

Ancient sickle:

Attack: 10

Durability: 3/30

Price: 2

New hammer:

Attack: 1-2

Durability: 40/40

Price: 15

Hoe:

Attack: 19-25

Durability: 140/150

Price: 50

Well, what can I say, except for the mat?

It is necessary to inspect other items, and then go to the forge.

The ropes were worth 2 coins, but they had no attacking properties. The thread was sold at 5 skeins for 1 copper. But the quality was terrible.

But the fishing line was traded at one coin for fifty meters.

The needles turned out to be expensive, a set of 5 cost 3 coins.

Saw, scythe, garden shears, regular shears…

O!

penknife

Attack: 0-1

Durability: 100/100

Price: 2

I also found thin wire.

But then a surprise awaited me.

Table knife mystery

Attack: 0-0

Durability: 14000/14000

Price: 1

I have no idea what the mystery is, but it can clearly be sharpened.

There is a file here, but I saw hard and durable ore on the lake. A free analogue is better than a paid rusty tool.

And after climbing around the store for some time under the approving gaze of a smiling saleswoman in a dress of blue feathers, I made my choice.

blunt braid

Attack: 0-3

Durability: 15/150

Price: 11

“Dear madam, you are so charming,” I began, hoping for the peculiarities of the titles. I hope that my charisma is not at zero. And it obviously should influence trade.

- Ha ha, what are you. Where am I to such a prominent man, even if not dressed in feathers. Have you chosen something?

Yes, but I don't have enough money. Can you drop the price of a blunt braid?

The woman thought for a while, then looked into my eyes and answered:

- I will reset the price by 1 coin, but then you will promise to buy back the ancient sickle next time.

Attention! You have been offered a task: *strange sickle*, but so far you cannot accept it.

Yes, of course, I agree.

Congratulations, you have acquired *dull braid*!

Attention, a special skill has been acquired!

Skill Acquired!

So, everyone gets one skill in the first deal with a decrease in the initial price: this is “trading”, but what is the second skill?

Yes, and it's highlighted.

I remembered the types that the developers have announced so far:

Class

Normal

Special

Rare

…

But they announced that, taking into account the class category, there will be twelve levels of skill value in total.

Moreover, even the usual one can be pumped to the maximum, but over time. Everyone, upon reaching level 10, will become one step higher.

At the same time, the class ones will also have ranks (FA, S, M, Z). That's just by condition, these ranks can only be received by representatives of the profile class.

And no one got to the cities of artisans, where you can learn professions. So there are stories about production skills from personal experience, and the admins are silent.

Although there are rumors that someone has already been able to create full-fledged clothes or shoes. That's just the habit is not formed.

Getting a class erases all unnecessary skills.

And getting a profession can return the right ones, according to rumors. It's just impossible to believe this because of what was described earlier. Maybe someone from the NPCs heard this, but there are enough false stories on the forum, as well as those launched by NPCs.

But this applies specifically to gaming skills. If you personally sew clothes, on your own, then it will be made. There will simply be no quality correction from the game.

Remembering all this, I opened the skill window.

Trade (Passive, Normal, Level 1):

After a successful trade transaction, where you managed to pay less than the amount on the price tag, you have gained experience. Now you always have a chance to bid with a seller or a buyer.

Attention! The level above the usual becomes special for the trader profession. Upon gaining a class, the more advanced version will be reset to the maximum (Normal, Level 9).

The skill is dependent on characteristics: luck, charisma, reputation, aura.

Freud's Flirt (Passive, Special, Level 1):

Gift from your coach. At the moment when you aroused sympathy from the opposite sex and reached a certain level of charisma, a potential was revealed in you, which formed a skill.

Communication with the opposite sex requires less charisma points for a positive outcome.

The skill is suitable for classes: Freud's Woodpecker, Freud's Succubus, Casanova and Windy Thief.

Also available for professions: womanizer, dancer, waitress, prostitute, stripper and gigolo.

Yeah got it. Charisma is not equal to zero .

Hmm, I wonder if coach Stalin gave some such hidden skills?

Of course, not to me, but still interesting.

So, while I do not need these skills. I need some combat.

And to make it, you need a weapon.

Yes, stop. What professions?

I won’t say anything about the classes, but here ... oh well. After Stalin's trainer, priestess Nedemona and the entire Dyatlov region, this is quite logical.

I took a blunt scythe, put it in inventory and went to the lake.

So far I have not encountered this, but the number of places in the hidden space for players is limited. 10 slots or 5 double slots. The scythe occupied just such a double, even without a handle.

But a bag full of items, or even a bag, can also occupy such a slot.

And someone started a rumor about mysterious space stones that will help you take more items, but so far there is not even a description of their work.

Eh... it seems that the developers are hiding too much, maybe it is this secrecy that attracts more and more players here.

I wonder how long they will last on one subscriber before the introduction of full-fledged donation items? Although, more so far interested in how to extract and withdraw funds.

Auction items and currencies announced but not implemented. However, I still don’t see much here, so I have to drive to work tomorrow.

With these thoughts, I came to the lake, found a stone with a flat surface of the desired type of ore, and began my business.

To my surprise, there were no messages.

I just noticed how the edge gradually appeared.

Only now it was moving very, very slowly. And only at that moment, when I was already sure that I had to go out to sleep, an inscription appeared:

Congratulations! Your diligence could change the item!

*Stupid scythe* became *Scythe*.

blunt braid

Attack: 0-3

Durability: 15/150

Price: 11

Spit

Attack: 15-50

Durability: 9/150

Price: 50

Hmm, about the loss of strength, I did not take into account the factor.

Okay, I'll deal with this tomorrow.

But the scythe attack was definitely worth it to toil with this nonsense.

***

"Headquarters of evil" I called my work.

Law firm for consumer protection. I met her as a client, but after becoming a student, I got a job here as a courier.

It's funny, but they are still doing my own business. The class action lawsuit has already reached some high authorities. By and large, an imaginary part of my salary goes to pay for this case. I have never seen any awards.

So far, every court has sided with us, but the defendant continues to appeal the outcome.

And the essence is quite simple.

Before the New Year holidays, Nika and I were alone at home, and I bought too many goods, including something fragile.

Ordered a car to the hypermarket.

An unmanned taxi based on a foreign car arrived.

And then my memory breaks, I woke up in the hospital around February.

According to the analysis of the expert, instead of braking, the car without a driver picked up speed at one of the turns, after which it flew into a pole.

And that year there were more than a hundred like me.

When I woke up, there was no one around. But after a while, my father came in, looked at me and introduced a bald, short, elderly man who came in next:

- I'm Evpaty Ivanovich Shilodeev. I represent you in this matter. Don't worry, I'll make them happy. But this is not a quick thing,” he said.

Then I did not answer him, because I had some kind of pipe in my mouth.

But after graduation, I met with him again to write down my testimony. Although it was more of a formality, technical data and evidence, and so the sea.

But it was on that day that I found a part-time job.

I asked my father, he approved.

In addition, the conditions turned out to be quite good: work in the afternoon, a stable salary, some small amount from each delivery of documents, a discount on the payment of the case, if suddenly it is lost or legal services are not reimbursed, well, and a bonus.

The latter, however, I never received. Yet again.

Apart from me, there are only five people working in the office:

- The gloomy director, he is also the chief lawyer - Shilodeev E.I. A person with a manic need to win, so often gets involved in affairs at the minimum rate in order to win. That's just for this uses other people's forces. The trainees call him "Schlodey".

- A cheerful accountant and part-time daughter of the boss - Agnia Evpatievna Shilodeeva. I won’t tell you the exact age, it seems to be a little older than me, but her love for money is somehow beyond. It is she who should issue bonuses, but this does not happen even on holidays. A fiery brunette with only red and black outfits. Nickname of the interns: "Hyena". No idea why.

– Three interns: Innokenty "Kesha", Abram "Barman" and Theodosius "Baron". It seems that some of them are already on the staff in the positions of full-fledged lawyers, but for Shlodey they are all "trainees", so they also clean the office, support all nonsense cases, draw up a bunch of documents, work in social networks and with the site. Well, all three are in love with Hyena. Their age is about 25-27 years.

Why do I call them together the Headquarters of Evil?

But because together a complete villainous organization comes out of us: the Chief, a female deputy and three minions. Well, the main character, little involved in the activities of the gang, is me.

True, the director is also a crazy old scientist.

Although, three years after I described the workplace in this way, I realized that I may have gone too far.

I opened my smartphone and started renaming the contact near the entrance to the office, when suddenly the door flew open, Abram, nicknamed the Bartender, ran out with a latex dress in his hand, and in the opening of the slowly closing door, I noticed a Hyena chasing Kesha with a whip.

Change the name of the contact "Headquarters of Evil" to "Work"?

Yes

No

I chose "No" and put my phone away, then entered the room.

- Hello. Excuse me, Guy... Agniya Evpatyevna, is the vacation still in force or not? If I was fired, then tell me right away, ”I said, looking around.

Yes, the traces of flooding are obvious, it seems that the "trainees" are mastering new professions. Around a bunch of cans with trim, rollers, trays, bags and film.

- Drozdov? Are you a student? What did you forget at this early hour? asked the Hyena, to whose image the whip, clenched in her hands, fit perfectly.

- Well, I'm in the academic from ...

- So, not a student, but a handyman. Go home and take clothes that you don’t mind… damn, that’s right, it’s getting late today…

- I see, excuse me, Agnia Evpatievna, but what do you have in your hand? Still, I decided to clarify.

- And then a trio of trainees brought me the work clothes of a female foreman. The size and style didn’t suit me at the uniform, but I liked the tool, ”the girl said with a grin, bending her weapon, after which she abruptly made a dash towards Theodosius who entered with cat ears on the rim and unclenched the whip on his pope.

- Ai! For what? Scourge and latex - not my idea! - the guy was surprised, rubbing his ass in overalls.

“You didn’t dissuade me, so consider yourself an accomplice,” the accountant answered and, proudly shaking her hips, went deeper into the room.

Where is Innokenty? I just saw him running around here,” I asked the workflow victim.

- There were two whips. One caught up with him, he was in the back room with an ice-cold heating pad.

- A, clear.

“Drozdov,” the Hyena called back to me, “free yourself and come back.” We work four hours a day for two people. I lead in the morning, father in the evening. Payment of three courier salaries per month. We have already been compensated according to the agreement, so we decided not to withdraw money from our circle. You weren't invited because you're a student, and we're getting ready to wrap up by October. Well, why did you take the academic one?

While I was talking and showing the video, two more trainees slowly crawled out. Abram returned with the dress and hung it on a hanger while the Hyena was distracted, and Innokenty just sat in a corner and giggled with some kind of package to his head.

- Well, if you were charged, then the chances of winning would be. Does he have broken teeth or some kind of injury removed at the emergency room? asked Theodosius.

- As far as I know, no. And I beat him in such a way as to knock him out, and not injure him. Otherwise, I would have aimed at the nose, - I answered.

- Understandably. But somehow boring. Tomorrow you will tear off the swollen trim with me, ”concluded the Baron, looking in turn at Innokenty and Abram. “Perhaps this way we can complete the task faster.”

“I see, what time should I come tomorrow?” If anything, I can start today,” I said.

– No, today in the afternoon there is a meeting on unmanned vehicles, so come tomorrow at two, – the Hyena delighted me.

Hmm, and I caught myself thinking that I communicate easily with all those present here. Even the boss's daughter is not perceived by me as a girl. Just friends and colleagues.

So, you need to remember the experience of communicating with these comedians.
