Chapter 87: Making Money Pt.1
Lake's bag was full, so he started towards the alley to sell what he had gotten from the house. It was a pretty long walk, so he had plenty of time to look at his stats, and the details of his new job.

Since he could see things through walls if they gave off a lot of mana it made it hard to see all the mundane things around him because all the mana sources glowed like stars, but he figured the magic stuff would be worth more, and that was the whole reason he had come into this house in the first place.
He had seen the massive amount of mana coming from what he assumed was their basement and decided it was worth the risk. Basements were really dangerous because there were no windows, or anything you could escape through if someone came home, so he was being a little greedy, but the basement had made him curious.
Not finding an obvious way down to the basement, Lake headed upstairs. He knew it seemed counterintuitive, but maybe they had a ladder down or something. Seeing six upstairs rooms, Lake went as fast as he could to check all of them. Not finding a ladder Lake still stopped because not a single room had a bed in it.
He found this kind of weird because there hadn't been a bedroom downstairs either, and that just left the basement. Lake wondered why someone would live in their basement when they had so much house to choose from. It wasn't like the rest of the house seemed abandoned either, it was still clearly used.
Lake decided this was too weird for him to bother with so he went back downstairs, and left through the front door. Turning around Lake marked the building and decided he would come back in a few hours to see if anyone had come home. He thought it might be possible to watch them through the walls using Mana Vision to see how to get into the basement.
Lake just hoped he returned before whoever owned the place did because when they realized the lock had been broken they would rush to check on the most valuable stuff first, and Lake wanted to be able to retrace their steps straight into the basement.
Getting onto the main street Lake stopped someone and asked. "That's the Blacksmiths guild right there correct?" Lake pointed at a building with about 50 smokestacks spewing various colors into the sky. When the woman didn't answer because of how dumb the question was he asked. "Is there stuff for sale here, or do they have a separate store somewhere else?"
The woman became less judgmental as she said. "Both." This was the answer he had been expecting. He thanked the woman and walked away. The only reason he had asked was he could see them not wanting too many people who weren't members in their building meaning they wouldn't have things for sale here, but it seemed he was wrong.
They had multiple entrances so Lake figured the one with all the people around it was the store, so he walked in. Seeing there was a line into another door Lake had to ask to keep himself from waiting in a line he didn't need to. "Is this line to enter the store?"
"No, the store is on the other side." This made Lake want to know what all these people were lining up for, so he asked. "What's the line for then?" He was fine lining up for something if it was cool enough so he wanted to know before he left to go shopping. "They hold a test to join the guild once a week, Blacksmith is a pretty common job, so they only take the best as members for the capital branch. My master said..."
The guy kept talking, but Lake was done listening, so he walked outside to go to the store on the other side. Opening the door Lake saw a warehouse sized room with a massive amount of shelves filled with weapons and armor. Then he saw the guards. There were about 20 of them and they looked kitted out. He guessed that was the benefit of working for the people who made the best gear.
Walking in Lake saw the counter all the way in the back of the store, so he started looking around. Lake noticed a lot of the things already had sold tags on them so this place seemed to actually be a warehouse as well as a store. He guessed people bought stuff then had to travel to get it from the guild once it was done.
From what Lake knew there weren't that many strong adventures in the capital because there weren't that many strong monsters around, so he guessed the fact that all the good stuff was for sale in the capital really made it a chore for the adventures to come pick up the stuff they bought, and that was the reason so much of it was still here, even though it was already sold.
It could also be a tactic to make him think he needed to buy something he liked before it was sold to someone else. Lake already planned to buy something though, so he didn't see it affecting his decision making. Finding the wall with short swords, daggers, and knives, Lake started to look at the prices.
There were plenty he could afford but he wasn't too sure how good they were, because they were at the lower end of price. Picking up one he liked the look of, he could tell it wasn't even enchanted. Inspecting it to confirm its status Lake realized the knife he had damaged was much nicer than anything he could buy right now.
This made him think his best bet would be to repair the knife Mary had given him instead of buying a new one. Walking up to the counter Lake was about to ask if he could have his knife repaired when the lady behind the counter said. "What can I help you with today?"
Lake didn't like the tone she was using, because he could tell she thought he was a waste of time because he hadn't brought anything to the counter to buy. Lake pulled out his knife and said. "Would it be possible to have this repaired?" The lady took it and Lake could tell she was inspecting it.
Eventually she said, "It's possible, but if you don't have it upgraded, it will just happen again." Lake knew she was right, but he just wanted to know how much it would cost first. "How much would it cost?"
"It depends, this is a level 20 knife. Already pretty high, so to have it reforged to level 21 would be about 400 gold." Equipment having levels was news to Lake, he wondered why he couldn't tell. When he used his Appraiser job on plants it told him the level.
