Project New World - Chapter 48
Albert: “What do you think we should exchange our tokens with?” Albert ask the other about their opinion after he skims through the equipment tab
James: “We just bought my equipment on the first day so it should still be good for now. One that I can consider changing would be my shield if we ever found a nice one.” James said his part
Kana: “Well, Albert and I didn’t wear any protection equipment but since we’re on the backline I don’t think we should prioritize that. I did not have any weapon mastery so I don’t need that either; I do want to use our money to pay for the tutoring lesson from the village native so maybe exchange it with more coins if possible?”
Albert: “It is possible but we can gain more money by hunting but not every monster would yield us village token so exchanging with coins is a bit of waste, I think. And James, what about your weight problem? There’s a couple of nice shields in the list but they require at least 1 weight point to wear and the nicer one even has 1.5 weight requirement.”
James: “Damn!!! I forgot about that weight problem; nevermind then. What about we look for equipment with a lot of wisdom or an HP boost for Kana? That way she can have an easier time to be our blood bank.”
Kana: “We can look for that. What about you Alice? Anything you fancy? And please don’t refer me to a blood bank.”
Alice: “There’s a leather boots equipment piece which boots movement speed but I think we should focus more on offense rather than that. A better armguard also would be nice but again I think we lack an offensive power. My Jade hand skill boosts my arm defense and combines that with my current armguard I don’t think I would need more defense for now.”
James: “I found a set of cloth equipment which boosts 3 wisdom and would boost another 3 wis if you wear 2 pieces of the same set. The set consists of 5 pieces of different equipment part and would further boost your wis by 3 and int by 2 when you wear a full set complete with headpieces, gloves, and boots. The headpieces grant 2 int and the boost provides a little movement speed bonus. The arm pieces special effect would help you control your mana but it would be useless for Kana and can only provide 2 armor overall they would cost us 20 tokens for all the pieces. Would everyone ok with that?”
Kana: “I don’t think it’s worth spending all 20 tokens for that. Have you guys checked the other category? There could be something more useful down there.”
Albert: “I found interesting stuff in a consumable category…”
Alice: “What it is? Some kind of super potions?”
Albert: “No; It’s an item called space stone that can expand our inventory slot and add another 10 medium inventory slot to our current inventory. Too bad, we couldn’t afford to spend 50 tokens on that item. James, how much is it if we only exchange the top and bottom part for Kana’s equipment?”
James: “It would cost us 5 tokens each for the top and bottom part so 10 tokens in total. The helmet cost 4 tokens and the other 2 are 3 tokens each. Oh, we can also exchange the tokens to buy our supply. 5 token for a stack of small HP potions which is better compared to the lesser HP potion that we currently use.”
Albert: “A stack of potions consists of 10 of the exact same potions; If we assume that the small HP potions are at least 40-50% better than the lesser one than we can safely assume it would cost us about 25 copper each. With simple math, we can deduct the value of the village token about 50 copper each. Does that mean the cost of Kana equipment would be 5 silver? No wonder they give a ton of stats.”
Kana: “10 tokens for a 3 wis and that would give me another 30HP and add a little bit of natural defense from the cloth armor. If you guys okay with that, we can exchange it. Here’s an idea, since there’s nothing that fits us better in the exchanging platform why don’t we make a custom one since we get a lot of money from the black panther quest.”
Albert: “That’s a good idea. We can then maybe put a request to make an armguard with more offensive capability for Alice. Or a better lightweight shield for James. And on top of that, we can save the rest of our village token to exchange for the more expensive items later on.”

Looking at the time the party decides to hunt before they do anything else. They already stock up potions and could visit the blacksmith later when Kana’s busy doing her daily chores at Mr. Theo stall.
Walking to the village entrance students are start log back into the tutorial village making it more lively. Students who unfortunately demise on day 1 having their second chances causing the village center more noisy than usual.
Most people who just revived refuse to go back into their previous party due to many different reason. Some even straight away looking for the one who either coincidentally or not causing their death for revenge.
More reasonable students try to establish a new party or join other existing parties to level up and explore outside the village. Albert’s party refuses couples of students inquiry before they can escape the village center but a stronger looking party would be stuck in the middle of the human sea.
