⌜Thank you sir. ⌟
⌜If you’re done here then scram. ⌟

I earned a total of 3 gold , 1 silver and 30 copper from all the herbs that I sold. However, I didn't sell the euphrasia plant since I don't want to sell it to him. I got paid plenty so maybe i should go get something nice to eat and then go shopping for necessities.
I found an inn that also doubles as an inn. I found it after going around and asking for recommendations and the majority refer me to this place. The building sign says “Moonlit Cat’s Inn” , it must be the inn’s name. The door was open so I just entered without saying anything.
The receptionist then greeted me. She was an elderly woman probably in her 50s or so if I'd guessed.
⌜ Are you looking for a room ? or perhaps a meal ? or both ? ⌟ she asked me in a calm manner.
⌜ Ah no… I heard the food here is delicious so i was looking if i could eat here.⌟
There was a faint smile on her face upon hearing my response.
⌜ Fufufufu…⌟
⌜ That was a nice praise from you young man, if you’d a meal please head over the room behind, that is where we serve our customers.⌟
I gave my gratitude and went to the rooms as mentioned. When I entered the room, I could see a few men dining there too. All of them look like they’re older.
I sat at one of the tables, maybe there will be a waiter that’ll take my order ?
As I wondered, a young girl comparable to a high school girl came to me and asked for my orders. I didn’t know what menu they had so I just went by and asked for the girl’s recommendation. It was rabbit stew, grilled mushroom , bouillabaisse and yoghurt milk.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
I nodded and she went away after writing the confirmed orders. After a short while, she came back with a huge wooden tray bringing all the food.
⌜ Please enjoy your meal sir .⌟
I enjoyed every bit of my food, it was very delicious. The fact that I could taste food in the game baffled me.

After a delicious lunch, I set off to the adventurer’s guild. I heard that I could make money by completing a quest so I was interested in it. After a bit of walking, I arrived in front of it.
I thought to myself ⌜ There’s no way anyone wouldn’t realise a building this huge.⌟
***
Before I register, I thought I should check what else is in here after entering the building. There were many counters with receptionists, aside from that I noticed there was also a weapon and equipment shop. I should check those shops later, I monologued myself.
I went to the counter and told the receptionist that I want to register as an adventurer. She only asked me to fill in a form and pay a 5 silver fee. After that, I was given an adventurer's licence and she explained about the general outline of the quest,reward,ranking, penalty and time limit.
There wasn’t anything difficult to understand so I had no problem with it. Right after, I asked for some recommended quest I could choose and she picked out some.
⟪ Find lost cat ⟫
⟪ Gather wild fruits* ⟫
⟪ Hunt cambert rabbits ⟫
⟪ Deliver goods ⟫
⟪ Pick medicinal herbs ⟫
Out of it i chose to do ⟪ Hunt cambert rabbits ⟫ and ⟪ Pick medicinal herbs ⟫ as my first quest. I need to hunt 15 cambert rabbits and pick 25 calendula herbs.
Apparently according to the receptionist, the quest I picked was fairly easy because it’s a common species and it will give me some experience too.
I asked her if there is a library here and she told me that it's on the second floor. She praises me for it since there aren’t many people using the library. I was flattered by it.
***
There were a lot of books in the guild’s library, enough to build a small fortress using the books. I picked a few books on general knowledge of monsters and herbs and sat down to read it.
