I Failed To Be Truck Kun’d And Was Forced Into A VRMMO As A Cat-Girl
Getting Even With That Old Hag!
Since Lexy had money to spare, she stopped off at a general store that sold many different things and bought a blanket, some ink, and a square piece of wood. She then wrote in big, bold black letters: "Potions half the price of the old hag's place!" on to the piece of wood. She then carried it to a spot just outside the apothecary shop, set up her sign, and placed her blanket down before sitting down cross legged on top of it and placing a few potions in front of her. She then sat there waiting for her first customer.
As Grove Town seemed to be a starting town, she was quickly swarmed by players looking for a cheap buy as making money was not easy at lower levels and potions were a save all in battle. "I want three!"
"I will take ten!"
Lexy was already racking in the money. In just a matter of minutes, she already sold a few hundred potions. Of course, this was not going to go uncontested as the old hag from the apothecary came running outside with her broom. "You damn crazy cat girl, you are trying to ruin my business! Get the hell out of here now!"
Lexy did not say anything. She was about to try one of the things she had been wanting to try for a while. She pouted her bottom lip and pinched her thigh to make her eyes tear up as she looked at the people in front of her with upturned eyes. "Is… Is it wrong to make money?" Her ears drooped, and her tail sagged. This caused the players who were there buying her potions to well up in anger. "You damn old hag, you charge an arm and a leg for your potions! It's not like this poor cat girl can win against you stock wise. Let her sell her goods and then be off. Why must you cause trouble for her!?"
"Yeah, I heard you beat her with a broom the other day when she tried to sell her herbs to you. If not for you doing such a thing, would she be out here to get revenge against you? You brought this upon yourself!"
"Yeah, leave her alone!"
The old hag face flared up. She had never had anyone be rude to her before. She was an apothecary! No one talked back against anything she did. If they did, she would ban them from her shop or charge them ten times the amount for their items! But now, here were hundreds of people looking at her with looks of disgust that were directed towards her! "All of you! You're protecting this crazy cat girl!? Don't forget she is a crazy cat girl who punches herself in public! I also heard she was instantly killed by a slime!"
"So? What does my guild member learning how to fight have to do with her selling her potions? What does my guild member's actions have to do with selling her potions? She did not steal your wares or your precious herbs that your horde in the back. Plus, she is not even on your property. People use that same spot every day to sell their wares. Why are you only picking on poor little Lexy here?" A familiar voice came from the back side of the crowd. Olivia walked in like a knight in shining armor with a smug look on her face.
Lexy could pretty much guess what she was thinking. It was something along the lines of: "Hey, look at me! Don't I look cool!? Wasn't my entrance completely amazing!?" And Lexy was not too far off in her assumptions. As for the old hag, when she saw Olivia walking towards her, she frowned. That was because these two had a history.
"What are you doing here, Olivia?" The old hag asked, her voice sounding very sour.
"I am wondering how your fields have grown. You see my stock..." Olivia didn't even get a chance to finish what she was saying when the old hag cut her off.
"Don't you dare! You put me out of business for six months the last time you did that! I had to buy so many herbs that I almost went broke!" The old hag yelled out. She showed a hint of fear when facing Olivia.
Lexy was looking up at Olivia with starry eyes. "Onee-sama!" Escaped her lips without her even realizing it. Yes, an eighteen year old young man who was playing a female character called someone onee-sama as if it was the normal thing to do. If people knew of this, they would have many different mixed feelings. While no one really paid much thought to Lexy's words, Olivia's nose seemed to grow to new heights as she heard her faithful guild member call her that. She looked at the old hag and pointed at her with her sword. "I will leave your herb field alone as long as you leave Lexy alone. Do not bother her while she sells her items. Do we have a deal?"
While Olivia was saying this, she was also typing a message into guild chat. "Lexy, when you run out of potions to sell, tell me. We will go clear out the old lady's garden."
"Pfft! Cough! Cough!" Lexy almost lost it and ended up sucking air down the wrong tube as she tried to stop herself from laughing. With flushed cheeks, she raised her head along with her hand and gave Olivia a thumbs up.
"Humph! Fine! Not like the crazy cat girl has all that many potions in the first place!" The old hag yelled before turning around and stomping away. She would never expect that Lexy would be sitting there for three days straight, and on the fourth day, she would be waking up to a surprise first thing in the morning.
By the third day, after selling all over her potions, Lexy was actually quite rich. She had seven hundred silver altogether, and since one hundred silver equaled one gold she now had seven gold! But this was just the beginning.
