Or maybe it's the fact that if she gets tired of this, she could leave it all behind, go into the shop, and start a new life elsewhere.
Would she keep the strength of her character?
That's more than enough of a reason to try and get as high level as possible before she gives up.
An Extra skill has been acquired.
Crossroads Wayfinder: 1/1000
Points you in the general direction of the nearest door to Fortune's Favors.
Huh. .
.
Maybe Argo is a god after all. To influence the system of SAO and all.
Pov: Returned.
CONGRATULATIONS!
*Do-dodododo*
That damned music is back again.
I let out a long breath and read the message I received.
You have reached a sales milestone! You have been granted a reward!
1 Sale: Extend the shop 1 foot in any direction, Gain one free 'Shopkeep's room' room.
My eyes gleam as I look around slowly, cube-like shapes appear on the ground, creating a large checkered pattern on the floor.
Instinctively. .
. I know what I can do.
I point a finger to the side and watch as the wall slowly creeps outwards. The ceiling and floor creep out as well to keep everything protected from the elements.
I turn to look behind the counter and point there as well, a sole wooden door appears on the wall.
I calmly hop the countertop and approach the door.
With a quiet creak and a gentle push, it swings open
Instantly I am caused some psychic damage.
The room is basically just a small rectangle.
A small, thin, walkway leading up to a shower.
There's a toilet in the shower.
Why was I given a two-in one shower and shitter?
I look to the side to see a sole bed bunk imbedded into the wall, like you would see in a submarine.
Why must I live in such squalor?
Is this punishment for selling Lisbeth a lighter at literally twenty times the standard price?
I won't fucking apologize. I need to be money hungry as fuck!
Most of my shit is ridiculously overpriced anyways, a Cor is roughly equal to a dollar. A twelve pack of lighters is about twelve dollars, a box of Pokey, about one and a half, the soda? About five dollars for a six pack.
the Bento? Surprisingly that was the best deal, I bought it for twelve and sold it for twenty.
Fuck you system! I'll rip off even more people just so I can remove that toilet from my shower!
I NEED money to stop living such a genuinely fucking cursed life.
I look over my haul. Forty seven 'Cor'.
About five thousand yen in total.
Just under half of what I was given.
In one sale.
Damn.
Alright, maybe this won't be as bad. But, to get a legitimate room?
Cost for 5 star hotel room: 610,000 USD
I almost choke on my spit.
Why so expensive? Because it's five stars? Why are you even showing me that? Show me a cheaper room!
Cost for Regular Hotel room: 77,500.
That is. .
. still ridiculous but a lot more manageable than half a million.
Wait. .
. if I can get multiple hotel rooms.
. .
could I technically turn this place into an Inn?
Huh. Food for thought.
Anyways, I figured out what number six was trying to say. I can learn any ability from any world despite not being a 'human' from that world.
I could get Aura from Rwby despite not being originally from Remnant, Haki from One Piece, Ki from Dragon ball.
But it requires something I probably won't be able to give much of while working in this shop. .
.
Effort.
Pov: Elsewhere.
A tiny blonde quietly observes a brown haired girl from the bushes, her yellowish eyes glowing under the effects of an observation skill.
A camp?
She. .
. actually made a camp?
How?
They don't get any fire-starters until like floor three. When the large multi-floor elf wars quest begins.
A Camp in sword art online is one of the first easily accessible transportable crafting stations. .
. and not only that it gives some fairly decent buffs.
While at a camp, you regenerate a staggering two percent of your health for every five minutes spent resting. It also lowers the speed your hunger and thirst dips, then there's the fact that it can be used as a crafting station for chef recipes that require thirty mastery or under, such as grilled vegetables or grilled kababs.
There are no decent chef crafting stations until the first town in floor two. .
. and even then, they are typically overcrowded by people who see one of the first crafting professions and want to 'grind it to a higher level'.
The same can be said for Blacksmith and Tailor as well.
How the hell did this girl manage to get a camp site this early? The first day isn't even up yet.
The blonde haired girl holds out her hands, creating a box with her fingers.
*Click-Vzzzz* the sound of a polaroid camera echoes through her head as she takes a snapshot of the girl.
Now all she needs to do is send this to the one person who possibly knows this game better than her.

"Explain, Kiri-bou. "
Nothing happens for a long moment, the small checkmark beside the two messages showing that they had been read.
Kirito {20:33}:
"Wtf?"
"Is that a camp site?"
Argo {20:33}:
"P. Sure it is.
"
The girl's eyes widen, and she takes another picture, this time zoomed in.
Argo {20:34}:
*Attached Image*
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Kirito {20:34}:
"Is that a bento? Don't you need some rare ingredients to craft that? And a fairly high profession cooking level? I didn't expect to see one so soon. Not until like floor 5 or 6 when buff foods really start to kick off.
"
Argo {20:34}:
"Decreases Hunger by 120, buff duration 8 min, grants 2 Hp per 5 sec, Increases Str, Dex, Vit, and Agi by 2. "
