Life Simulation: My Talent Is Wool

The village behind the walls was quite lively.

Although it was not as developed as a big city, the conditions proved to be even better than the Great Tree Village.

The residents were all well-dressed, and there were many well-built houses, as well as a very busy commercial area.

Many houses were made of brick, only a few were made of wood.

Meanwhile, Vanessa proved to be a social butterfly of Kaleb Village.

Since they arrived in the village with her, he saw her talk and laugh with many people.

To avoid attracting too much unwanted attention, Catharina went back to wearing a veil.

...

"Where are my manners? Great Bear, these are a couple who came from outside and brought meat to sell." Vanessa explained, adding: "This couple are Luan and Catharina, and I personally liked them a lot, don’t try to take advantage of them, got it?"

Great Bear was a big guy. Like, really big. He was over 2 meters tall and had a robust body. A bit on the heavier side, but strangely muscular. His hair was thick black and messy.

"If they are people you like, then of course I have to offer a fair price!"

Great Bear replied confidently as he gave a strong punch to his own chest.

Seriously, is he a bear or a gorilla after all?

Beating his own chest like that... Doesn’t it hurt?

That was the strength of at least a Lv2.

Well... It’s not strange to find a Lv2 in this village, after all, even in the Great Tree Village there were several Lv2.

That made him remember Marcos. He was also Lv2, and a tough man just like the Great Bear in front of them.

Leaving that aside, Luan showed the Lv2 meats he intended to sell to Great Bear.

"Ohh, I see you have very good stuff." Great Bear analyzed with professionalism, despite his rough manners: "You two did a good job dismantling these animals. The quality of the meat is impeccable. Because of that, I can even pay up to 10% more than I would pay to a village native."

Then, he began to laugh loudly, giving heavy pats on Luan’s back: "Hahaha! Very good, very good! How about this? I’ll weigh it and tell a price, then you decide whether it’s fair or not?"

"Urgh... Sure." Luan felt a bit of pain from Great Bear’s heavy pats.

"Sigh, Great Bear, can’t you see you’re being very rude to your client? Didn’t I tell you before to be more gentle?" Vanessa said from the side.

"I’ll listen to my sister-in-law." He replied, scratching his face looking a bit silly.

"I’m fine." Luan said: "It was nothing serious."

Great Bear cast a look at Vanessa as if to say: "See? He himself isn’t complaining." But, obviously he had a certain level of emotional intelligence and didn’t dare say that out loud.

Luan helped Great Bear take the meats off the cart and place them on the scale.

The meat was weighed separately, after all, different animals, different cost.

The total weight exceeded half a ton.

Even imagining that, Great Bear still seemed quite surprised.

"Wow, you two are amazing!" He blurted out, adding: "Wait a moment, I’ll do the calculations right now..."

After a few minutes, Great Bear dropped the paper and pen, and circled a value on the paper.

"What do you think of this amount?" He showed it.

Luan and Catharina looked.

[87 gold coins and 84 silver coins]

Vanessa took a peek over Catharina’s shoulder and sighed, surprised: "My goodness, that much?!"

Even expecting a high value, Luan admits that he was also surprised by that amount.

This could even be seen as more profitable than exploring dungeons.

Of course, exploring dungeons isn’t just about making money, but also about leveling up, which was extremely important for most.

Luan looks at Catharina, seeing her nod in agreement, he looks at Great Bear, and says: "We are satisfied with this amount."

"Really? Hahaha!" He laughed loudly, saying: "Well, my price is always fair, of course you’d be satisfied."

Luan simply smiled.

In a few minutes, Great Bear handed them all the gold and silver coins.

Luan and Catharina were not exactly poor. In fact, they had even more than that amount in gold coins, but... Having more is never too much, right?

...

Besides selling meat, he also sold Lv2 animal hide and bones, as well as jars of blood.

The final amount was even higher than the meat sale.

Clearly, an Lv2 animal was a pot of treasure.

And, an Lv3 animal, how many gold coins would it yield?

It was easy to imagine that it would be in the thousands.

’That tyrannosaurus rex... How much would it be worth?’ Luan began to recall from years ago when he and Catharina barely escaped right under the nose of that creature.

Those were dangerous days.

They were still Lv1, and were only able to get out alive because they didn’t attract the attention of that tyrannosaurus rex.

’I wonder if someone killed that creature...’

Although even now he felt it was hard to imagine that prehistoric monster losing, but that was only because of his limited perspective.

Although a single Lv3 human wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill it without having a more than special talent, if it were two or even three Lv3, it would be possible.

’If Catharina were Lv3, would she be able to do it?’ He began to imagine.

Honestly, there was a high chance of Catharina winning in his opinion.

She was special even among demi-humans.

She was not only a hybrid, but also had a very rare talent.

"We’ve arrived." Vanessa said, pulling him out of his daze.

In front of them, there was an animal stable.

There were areas for cattle, even for horses.

’I really underestimated this place...’ He thought.

The wealth of this village was not small.

The number of cattle and horses was no joke.

Vanessa had said that there was only one place that raised cattle and horses in the village, but she never said that although there was only one, in return, it was extremely rich.

"Not only should we buy two horses, we should also get a bigger cart, what do you think?" Luan turned to Catharina.

She didn’t hesitate at all: "I think the same."

It became clear that as they traveled, the amount of things they would get along the way would increase.

And, with a bigger cart, they wouldn’t need to purposely avoid some Lv2 animals, just because they couldn’t carry any more luggage, not wanting to be stuck on the road because the cart broke from being overweight.

Even though their cart had been reinforced with wool threads, that didn’t make it indestructible.
