Aya bites her lip thinking she would be able to do more researto the world of Moon Valley, all she knew so far was there was moo be made here and it was an MM.
"I remember the app had an earnings tab." Aya says, getting an idea, she opens up the Moon Valley panion app to check the earnings tab.
Quickly pulling open the Moon Valley panion app, she first checks her current items
Tapping a bit she ss the list.
[Current Items]
[Equipment]
[Food]
[Crafting]
[Items]
[See all]
Hitting the see all button she sees her loanized into categories for easy viewing.
[Cotton Tunic x1
Magig x1

Starter Sword x1
***
Rabbit fur x5
Rabbit meat x17
***
Health Potion x5
Mana Potion x5]
Moving on to the earnings tab she takes note of the in-game currency she had so far.
[Moon Points: 1550
Moon Gems: 5old: 10]
On notig the Gold button was highlighted, she clicks it to see what would happen.
[vert Gold?]
(Minimum 5 Gold)
[Yes/No]
It asks her, Aya's eyes widen, she searches for the help s and clicks oton, ing an animation s to pop up.
"Low on cash? We've got you covered! Exge in-game currency for real mohis allows you, dear pyer, to make money while giving Lumos inc a cut." the fairy on s says.
"Please hat only Gold may be exged, terms and ditions apply."
Aya's face falls a bit a bit at the news, she thought she would be able to vert her Moon Points since she had acquired so many of them.
"So that's why they gave me more Moon Points than Gold." she mutters. Moving on she clicks the animation with the topic: Au house.
"Hello again." The tutorial fairy greets her. "Did you know Moon Valley has an in-game au house?" the fairy giggles.
"No, I did not." Aya says, she'd heard the term au house before but only among the very upper echelons of society. It arently some fancy pce where they sold expehings or whatever.
"Sell crafted and rare items from adventuring and or produ to other pyers fold!"
A demonstration appears on s, Aya watches a legendary piece of equipment be sold off, she then watches a crafted food item be aued off as well.
"Hang on, you even cook in this game?" Ohe animation stops, Aya puts her hand to her deep in thought. Deg to try out the versioure she clicks the Gold on the app tab
[vert Gold?]
(Minimum 5 Gold)
[Yes/No]
Aya gulps, testing out this feature would lead her to sacrifice half the gold the game gifted her. Closing her eyes she clicks the yes button and the app asks her for a digital wallet and password, she enters it.
[You will incur a 25% Transa fee]
Aya groaned, hitting yes. It doesn't take a moment for 31.08 Lu to hit her at. Aya gasps, so loudly her boss growls at her.
Giving a nervous ugh she smiles sheepishly and points to a bare wall.
"Sorry I thought I saider." she says. The man shakes his head, going back to reading the neer.
31.08 Lue was enough to get her a di some of the higher eaurants iy! And she just made that for Free!
"This is more than I make in an hour!" Aya whispers, resisting the urge to vert the rest of her Gold, Aya's mind begins whirling.
This would mean she could craft items in-game and au them off one by one, her stats didn't make her feel super fident about being an adventurer anyway.
"Let me see if there are any forums that help me." she says, she opens her web browser and searches for a Moon Valley forum. It doesn't take long for dozens of forums to show up on her phone s.
Reading through each, she clicks on the one hosted by the Moon Valley website.
Within the pages of the forums, she could see dozens of topics about the best equipable items and potions take. Moving on she scrolls and scrolls until she finds something about food.
"Ugh food is so hard to make, no wohey sell for crazy on the au portal." an annoyed user of the forum types
"What? But I made bread and only got a few measly Moon Points for it."
"Of course you did, the food that sells for crazy amounts have stat buffs and make you resistant to certain types of damage. You 't just peddle any old bread lol." another user replies.
Aya pauses, taking note of this information, she clicks off and tio read the rest of the forum, she finds aitle
'Why are crafting items so difficult to find in this game?" a user asks.
"Buy my guidebook, I was a beta tester."
"Ew no thanks." another user replies, causing Aya to ugh a tiny bit. Gotta respect the hustle though.
"Geez."
"It's because no one wants to share their secret fing spots, and mert csses, both NPd pyers charge for it." another user replies.
"Damn produ csses! Some of us just want to py the game!"
"Suck it up."
After her foray into the forums, Aya finds there are two ways to py the game. Adventurer and Produ or Crafter.
The adventurers had guilds to which the produ csses crafted and sold items to. It was much harder to bee a produ based pyer as those subcsses were gotten through quests. Aya kept that in mind too, suddenly growing nervous.
"I hope my luck will see me through." she says to herself. Aya figures if she got a css in the game that would allow her to craft often she would be fine.
"Is this what Daichi meant?" she wonders, closing off the forums and heading back to the app. The final tab that had previously been locked en now. It was the au house tab, with a simple interface that would allow her to sele item from her iory to put on au.
'I guess it opened when I watched the animations.' she thinks.
As a test, she pces two of her rabbit meat on sale at the au and closes the app. She exhales, at this point, she was just waiting for the office to close so she would be able to game.
Moon Valley could actually be her way out of Axen City. There was nothing for her here and she had no one except her hag aunt.
Unfortunately shortly after she moved to Axen, her grandmother had passed so Aya had to look after herself. There was no word from Mr. Fido after that.
'I don't even know what happeo grandma's stuff.' Aya thinks.
"You've been on your phone all day, is there a special someone I should know about?" the boss asks. Aya squeaks, face heating up at the thought of chatting with a signifit other.
"N-No!" she stammers. The older man ughs. Aya frowns, suddenly being grumpy from his prank on her.
' the clock hit five already!' she whines.
----------
Work closes again with little otion and all Aya could think about was heading back to her small apartment to py the game and apply all she'd learned from the forum.
Hearing her phone beep on the bus, she's surprised to see her rabbit meat had sold for 100 Moon Points. Aya remembers she didn't eve a price for it si was just an item she'd gotteher day.
'Well, I hope whot it enjoys their purchase.' Aya thinks. The au tab was iing, now she just o get home and py.
----------
Walking into her apartment she locks her door and showers before slipping into her pajamas to begin pying.
The theme music pys and soon Aya is ba the realm of the game with her character Yvlena. After cheg her items, she notices the box from the quest she did yesterday.

Quickly equipping her ems Aya is surprised to see her Strength stats go up but her agility aerity go down. She cludes the sword is too heavy for her character she unequips it and re-equips the starter sword she started with.
Much better!

Satisfa is written across her face at her ats.
'Items sure boost you a lot.' she thinks, Aya notices she appeared outside of the Bloom Meadow once again, the area she had been when she was first starting.
Excitedly she decides to check Bloom Haven to see if anyone had a quest for her. Once again running towards the gate, the guards greet her as she passes, weling her back from adventuring.
Aya runs around talking to various NPCs, some were hers were rude, to say the least. One man straight up yells in her face.
"I hate adventurers!" he procims and walks away after gring harshly at her. Aya's character slumps in-game, disappointed.
"What the heck is his problem?" Aya growls. Yvlena stomps her foot on s and Aya finds it quite iing how the elf is able to emote her emotions.
'Teology is truly wonderful.' she thinks. Even without the VR headset while pying, Aya felt as though she was within the game. She shrugs it off and chalks it off to good game design but something at the back of her mind tells her there's something more.
Just then an old proaches her ughing good naturedly.
"Don't mind him dear." she says, the s lets Aya know that the woman's name is Beatrice. Aya observes the sweet old woman who smiles at her, showile ugh lines and wrihat came with age.
The old woman has a kind fad Aya is hard pressed not to suddenly remember her grandmother.
Aya is with her.
"What's his problem?" Aya asks, the old woman waves a hand dismissively, telling Aya not to worry about it.
"He believes adventurers are simply profiteers, they make no room for the simple life." the old woman expins.
"I uand." she says.
"Members of the produ csses too." the old woman says. "He just has a lot of feelings about them."
"To be fair I'm not much of an adventurer myself, I would really like to be a crafter of some sort row things." Aya says to NPC, she doesn't know why but it feels natural versing with her. Beatrice suddenly gets an inquisitive look on her face, putting a hand to her it looks like the woman is sidering something.
"I have a quest for you." She says.
