Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

Martha had a piece of papyrus in her hand, on which she wrote down what they needed to buy today. She crossed out each item she bought, slowly filling up the borrowed donkey cart.

Mia also had a rich harvest. She also brought out her wallet today. Although Martha said that she didn't need to pay, it was only for furniture and daily necessities. She felt embarrassed to ask them to pay for other things she wanted to buy.

Although it was a small market held on fixed dates in Constanti Castle, the goods at the market were still very rich. Mia followed Martha and the others around the square and bought a lot of materials, completing several recipes in the skill column.

The things she bought were very diverse, including fabrics, minerals, plants, furs, and a large variety of things, but the quantity of any one type was not large, and Mia was good at bargaining, so it didn't cost much. When Martha heard that she was going to use it as a gift for Bayard, she didn't insist on helping to pay.

There were also many foods from different regions at the market. Although Mia didn’t think they tasted particularly good, they were still unique in flavor. They filled their stomachs outside before leaving.

When we finally left the market, the things we bought for Mia filled a whole car, not counting the large items like beds and cabinets that the merchants would help deliver.

In fact, Mia could make those furniture herself as long as she had the wood, and she could guarantee that they would be better than those bought, which would save her a lot of money. However, she would not be able to explain why she could even do carpentry work.

Martha agreed with them to postpone the delivery time to around two o'clock in the afternoon. She planned to clean Mia's room thoroughly after returning.

At this time, the benefits of the empty room became apparent. There was no furniture or decorations that needed to be scrubbed. They only needed to clean up the licorice used to make the bed and the cobwebs on the ceiling, then scrub the floor and window holes, and finally wipe the door and add a lock to the room that could be locked from the inside. Mia had not mentioned installing a door lock at first, but Martha and John both felt that they needed to leave her enough private space. Besides, their family ran a pharmacy, and sometimes other people might come to visit or go upstairs to get things. A girl's room still needed some security. The room was cleaned.

The newly formed family of three were all hardworking and efficient, and they cleaned the room in just over an hour.

After that, large pieces of furniture were delivered one after another. The delivery people helped carry them into the room and placed them according to Mia's requirements. Those that needed to be installed on site were also done. They didn't need to do anything much throughout the process. They just had to tell the movers how to put them.

The largest pieces of furniture are the wardrobe and the bed. The wardrobe is not very big, only 1.5 meters high - this includes the height of the four legs - and about 1 meter wide. It is divided into two layers, upper and lower. It can't actually hold many clothes, which is not enough in modern times. But here, everyone has few clothes, and even a wardrobe grid can't hold them. The empty space can be used to store blankets and bedding, but because Mia doesn't have any extra bedding yet, her wooden box is placed inside.

Of course, the bed couldn't be a spacious double bed. Mia, a little girl, didn't need such a big bed. The width of the new bed was about 1.2 meters, and the length was 1.8 meters - this was probably because people of that period liked to place storage boxes or the like at the head or foot of the bed due to the limited space at home - it was enough for one person to sleep in, and it was very spacious for a child like her.

In addition, a large table and matching chairs were added to the room. The side of the table was against the wall, and there was a window in front of it. This ensured that there was sufficient light during the day, and there was no need to worry about the bed being wet by rain when it rained. The only difference was that because the table took up too much length, the bed that was originally intended to be placed in the center of the room, which was where the haystack was, had to be moved to the innermost position against the wall, and it was also changed from being placed horizontally in the room to being placed vertically against the wall. One side of the bed was against the wall with the door, and the other side was a wardrobe that was also against the wall. In front of the wardrobe was the table.

Although it seemed crowded, the attic room was very large. Mia had roughly measured it before and it was about six meters by four meters. There was enough space between the three large pieces of furniture. For example, there was a gap of at least one and a half meters between the bed, wardrobe and table. Even if a bedside table was added, there would still be a lot of space. The distance between the wardrobe, which was sixty centimeters deep, and the table was even greater than that.

If the room is only 12 square meters, her arrangement will fill the room while leaving enough space for activities.

But now Mia arranged it this way, dividing her room into two parts with the window hole in the center as the dividing line, leaving the front half empty, while the back half looks a bit crowded due to such a sharp contrast.

-Oh, the other side is not completely empty, because there is no toilet. The toilet placed in the corner behind the door becomes very conspicuous in this open area.

Such an arrangement is naturally unacceptable in the eyes of Martha and John, but they have no objection to Mia's arrangement. Instead, they hope to add some more things to the room, such as bedside tables, clothes racks, carpets, etc.

At Mia's strong request, all the furniture bought were basic styles without any patterns, so the price was naturally relatively cheaper. However, because the wood used was of good quality and the carpenter's craftsmanship was also very good, even though it was a basic style, the finished product was very perfect. If you use it carefully, it will be no problem to use it for decades. So even though there were only a few pieces of furniture, it cost nearly half a gold coin.

In Mia's eyes, the price was already too high, so she firmly rejected Martha and John's suggestion to buy some more things. She didn't say that she was reluctant to spend money, but just said that she didn't like the styles of the things at the market and planned to wait until she found something she liked before buying them.

Of course, isn't it up to her to decide whether there's a style she likes?

Of course, Mia didn't really intend to leave most of the room empty. She didn't know how many years she would live here in the future. If she didn't decorate it properly, she would be deliberately mistreating herself.

She was planning to make her own furniture in the future. There were many furniture recipes in the furniture manufacturing column. As long as she gathered all the materials, she could make it. Buying raw materials was always much cheaper than buying finished products, and the finished products were more to her liking.

Mia put the purchased materials on the table while calculating what she would need to buy in the future.

This table is very large, measuring about 1.4 meters by 1 meter. Normally, people would not put such a large table that can almost be used as a bed in the room. Instead, it should be placed in the dining room as a dining table - because it is originally a dining table.

But Mia took into consideration that she would most likely need a workbench for cutting and making items in the future, so the bigger the table the better. That's why she chose this large table. Anyway, her room was big, so putting such a table here wouldn't affect anything.

Mia sorted the things she bought into groups according to the recipe requirements in the skill column, putting them in piles for each recipe.

She told Martha and her husband that these things were for Bayard as gifts. Although they might wonder what she was going to do that required her to buy so many miscellaneous things, since Mia did not say it herself, they considerately did not ask.

But in fact, these things are not only prepared for Bayard, there are also gifts for Martha and John, and of course more are prepared by Mia for herself.

She planned to give each of the three of them a piece of equipment that could increase their strength. Of course, the increased strength value would not be too high, otherwise they would realize something was wrong as soon as they got the item.

Because of a vague premonition that Mia herself couldn't explain, she actually had some other guesses about the so-called power bonus, but she needed to make the equipment first to confirm whether this guess really existed.

She had a good harvest on this trip to the market. She collected the materials for several recipes and had some left over. Moreover, among the recipes she collected, there happened to be gifts that she could give to Bayad and the others.

Although most of the mid-to-high-level recipes were gone, and most of the remaining ones were low-level recipes, there were still quite a few types, and they looked very high-level just by looking at their appearance. Moreover, the materials of many recipes were also similar. Mia sorted through these sets of materials and finally decided to make a pair of gloves for Bayard and John, and a bracelet for Martha. The remaining materials could be used to make another bracelet and enchantment for her own use.

In many games, enchantment is a standalone life skill, but in the game Mia plays, enchantment is only a part of the casting skill, but there are quite a few recipes. Of course, the only ones left now are enchantments that increase strength and agility, but the increased values ​​are different.

The shape of the enchantments is also very special. Their finished products all look like beautiful gems. The higher the level of the gems in reality, the better the enchantment effect in the game. After the formula is changed, the main materials in the enchantment formula are these gems.

In fact, not only enchantment, but many other casting and sewing recipes also require the use of gems, and anything that contains gems in the material will have a higher benefit than anything without gems.

But this is understandable. There have always been legends saying that gems have magical powers. Maybe they really do.

Of course, Mia couldn't buy any good quality gems at the market. Even if she could, she couldn't buy them. Not to mention that wealth should not be shown off, the few gold coins she had on her were not enough.

The box of gems that Bayard gave her cannot be used carelessly now, otherwise it might expose the fact that he has secretly kept these gems. Moreover, high-grade gems can generally only be used by nobles. If wealthy businessmen do not have special backgrounds, it is best not to wear them casually, as it will cause trouble.

Mia is just an ordinary little girl from the civilian world who just lost her parents. She takes out the gems to use at this time, just like a child carrying gold through the busy streets. She really wants someone to snatch her away.
