Hi, everyone, Yungsern87 here.
The intention to make this post here is to discuss this novel [Pedlar of Another World] because there seems to be quite plenty of issues from my readers. Of course, when I mean readers, It includes those that marked my piece of work "Extremely worthless" to "Extremely good". To be honest, sometimes, I do have a moment of "What DF are you guys trying to say?" but after calming myself down each time before I write, I could still continue to bring out my mood to write.
I believe that many people do have a comment regarding the way I write this story, and also the path of how the main character [LU BU] goes along the way in each episode. To be frank, I do agree that my way of expressing what I wanted is still not up to par, so there will be a plenty of issue for my readers when the went through my story.
I will do more, Improve more in future, and while I am on my way writing this novel, I did not stop scrolling through other people's novel, translated novels, and piece of works to continue improving myself and my story, so I hope the support from everyone remain strong with me, and I will increase my Cultivation until Sovereign Realm and write you guys more interesting books!

My Motivation and Walkthrough of this story:
A combination of Reincarnation to another world experience + Knowledge brought from the previous world to another new world + RE: MONSTER similarity storyline + Harvest Moon kind of grinding + Minecraft World Ability and lastly + with a touch of hypocrites.
I believe many people do ask about a few things, such as:
"Why don't MC absorb all the crystals to strengthen himself instead? Five Crystals is equivalent of one Black Spirit Crystal, he could easily earn more than that when his own strength is increased."
Answer: A single Crystal worth (0.01) points to the relevant stats, and to increase one single point in the stat, a total of (100) is required. 10,000 crystals are required. Although at the current storyline, the MC could easily mine 10k crystals within a few days, please remember, at the early of the story, MC is still somebody Blur with how this world works, how good will it be if he use the crystals for himself instead, and also, the world revolves with crystals in hand.
"Why don't MC sell all the crystals instead, but join the Refining Workshop, forced to spent loads of crystals just in exchange for a place to stay and still need to bear those ridiculous costs to fulfil the quota?"
Answer: as it was already explained in later chapters, A single room with normal furniture cost around 500 to 600 Black Spirit Crystals to rent, and within this whole Tian Gong Country, nobody is allowed to have a private property. The whole land belonged to the country, and only the officials could have the right to increase or decrease the number of household, rooms and buildings. And also, In the beginning of the story until MC has yet to obtained a better Pickaxe and also the Pedlar setup ring, his maximum production, added with his living condition, could you expect him to be able to mine crystals worth few hundred Black Spirit Crystals easily?
"Night Glowing Crystals and its ridiculous rate."
Answer: when the Night Glowing Crystals and Night Copper is introduced, I actually have the mind of making things hard for the MC and also the world. With the ridiculous effort placed into creating this part of the story, I purposely changed a few typical method in obtaining the ore.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
1 - Ore is obtainable in all the rocks mined from the cave, but only those that come out with a good amount of Night Glowing Sand and other products could have the chances to obtain some of the Night Copper Dust.
2 - The pricing of the Small / Medium / Large Night Glowing Crystals had a big difference because the Night Glowing Sand is easier to obtain compared to the other two, which is why the price of this Small Crystal is mark up slightly more to the higher price. (If you got a piece of Medium Crystal in hand, would you sell it? You will most probably keep it because there might be a luck you could actually refine a better Night Copper Piece or Bar in future.)
3 - because of the difficulties of obtaining the Night Glowing products is extremely difficult, added with the disappearance of the light within the cave, this increase the difficulties to obtain anything from the cave. (do you think everyone has the ability of SCAN SKILL wherever they go?)
4 - Night Copper does possess a special characteristic, which will be explained later, but for now, let us wish that MC will be able to quickly obtained his first Perfect Brass Grade equipment first.
"What's the difference between each point in the status?"
Answer: for now, the basic few stats are only differentiated into a few kind for the Tian Gong Country, but more will be added soon, depending on the storyline.
Type of Crystals:
Red Power Crystals: Strength
Green Physical Crystals: Physical
Yellow Speed Crystal: Agility
Blue Magical Crystals: Magic
Violet Resistance Crystals: Resist Element
Quality of Tools:
Lower Grade Tools - 1-20% Components within
Medium Grade Tools - 21-40% Components within
Upper-Grade Tools - 41-60% Components within
Fine Grade Tools - 61-80% Components within
Perfect Grade Tools - 81-100% Components within
Quality:
Lower Crystal: 0.01 Increase/each (Mined)
Medium Crystal: 0.10 Increase/each (Mined/Refined from 5 Lower crystals)
Upper Crystal: 1.0 Increase/each (Mined/Refined from 5 Medium crystals)
Fine Crystal: 10.0 Increase/each (Mined/Refined from 5 Upper crystals)
Perfect Crystal: 1 Points/each (Refined from 5 Fine crystals)
Crystal only usable until the points reach next Grade.
A Grade 10 equipment will have less than 100 of its overall status point, no matter what kind of status it does possess. While for a grade 9, its overall status varies between 101 - 1000 points overall. It continues to add up into it reached Grade 1, but that one will not be available within this Tian Gong Country, as it is only a small piece of land within this amazingly huge continent.
"Does Black Spirit Crystal have its usage? How do they come into this world?"
Answer: Yes. Other than currency, the Black Spirit Crystals do possess a special characteristic that only a few special beings could utilize them.
Location: Black Sand Cave
Price: 5 Black Spirit Crystals
Duration: Five hours
Base: Not Available
Capacity: 100 Person
Monster: None
Produce:
Black Spirit Crystal Sand
Black Spirit Crystal Pieces
Black Spirit Crystal Core
Black Spirit Crystal Thread
If you noticed that the Black Sand Cave appearance in the previous chapter, this is actually a money mining cave. But it doesn't mean that it is easy to mine money within this Cave. One will actually think the rates of 5 Black Spirit Crystals for an entry token is cheap, but if preparation is not too complete before entry, one will easily come out with nothing in hand.
Spoiler Alert! Just a little.
Black Spirit Crystal Sand only obtainable if the sand is sieved with a special kind of sieve, and that is only obtainable through Blacksmithing Workshop special request.
Black Spirit Crystal Piece only obtainable from mining around the wall of rocks, and the yield rate is too low to be compared to normal coloured crystals.
Black Spirit Crystal Core is only formed once in a while, and deep mining is required. Unless one will stay for at least two to three month in mining, it would be difficult to find a single Crystal Core.
Black Spirit Crystal Thread only available from the pond, and water that was found within the cave. It is an essential item to tied the sand, pieces or core together to form a better quality Crystal. This also means that even if you able to mine a good amount of sand, pieces and core, you will still face difficulties in obtaining their combining material. And to store the thread, a special Canister is required. And that one, Is currently within MC's list of purchased recipes.
"Goblins. What will there be?"
Answer: future interaction will be made possible. Do not forget MC current status is a Pedlar, a very special one on top of that. What a Pedlar good in? Business. What business? All kind of business. What do you mean all kind of business? The kind that meets Monsters, deal with monsters. Meet human, deal with the human. Meet god? Do business with the god, of course!
"Will there be interaction with other pedlars soon?"
Answer: Yes, and that one not going to be too delighting.
Last question...
"Is there going to be anything 18+ rated stuff here?"
Answer: you must be joking. It will come of course, but remember, MC is a poor lad at the moment.
