"This is harder than I thought," I say as I continue to look for anything to help me with my mission.

As I continue to look I had a realization: NPC's! I completely forgot that they were there.

I instantly walk up to a random person to ask my questions.

"Hello there, kind sir, I am in need of your assistance," I say to him.

"Mgphm! what was that mister, were you talking to me" says a man that looks to be a few years older than me.

"I did, kind sir, you see I'm in need of your assistance" I answer in a friendly voice while I also use the skill: [Friendly Smile]. hopefully, it makes me seem nicer.

"Oh and what kind of assistance is this you ask of me?" he says back to me and seems to turn friendlier.

"You see sir, I need a few things and some directions" I answer.

"Well, what do you need? I warn you, though if it’s something important it will cost you a lot, and directions to where?" This greedy man is already talking about money.

"Thank you for helping me. You see, I need three cups and one box of any material, something to write on the box with, and directions to this city's central." A short list and he should at least know where to find these items.

"Hmm, yes I can help you get those items and I can escort you to the central, all for 10 silver. What do you say? " What? 10 silver? That's way too expensive. And he seems so life-like, is he really an NPC I wonder.

"I'm sorry sir, but that is too expensive. How about 10 copper instead?" I start to barter.

"Huh, you do seem kinda poor, all right how about 1 silver" he barters back.

"I don't know. That's still a lot, and I can always do this myself. 20 copper" I continue to barter.

"Bah! Fine: 30 copper" he shouts one last time.

"Deal, kind sir! I am so happy we came to an agreement, may I ask for your name?" I agree and ask.

"The name’s Jim, Jim Sanders, now let's get you your stuff" Jim answers in a friendly tone,it seems money can buy friendship after all.

I hand him the 30 coppers and follow him. Hopefully, he isn't a bandit about to mug me.

After I handed the coppers over I got a nice prompt.

Skill achieved: Barter. all prices are lowered by 1% of the original price. You can level this skill

Yes, he wasn't a bandit, I now have a box with the keywords: [One Gold For A Chance Of Platinum]

And now we're off to the central.

On the way there, Jim says: "I almost forgot: here is a small gift!" he hands me a very smooth and light but with weight blue stone, perfect for my cups.

"Thanks a lot, this is just what I need" I answer full heartedly.

Now off to the center with no more distractions "hoorah" I shout.
