It was good to have some change, the prices for the items were written below so there was no need for customers to ask her about that. Inside her small office box, Alayna was even more surprised when she saw some familiar boxes.
"This is quite great, I didn’t think that I will be getting some pills this time," Alayna said happily as she looked at the panado and disprin on the display shelves.
The price of the pills was also affordable and they were priced at 200 copper coins each. She didn’t know why they were priced so cheap but she was very happy as commoners can afford them too.
These pills were for pain-relieving and the prices were okay, after all the alchemists were not that generous.
Alayna called out to Elena and the girl rushed to where she was in just a short time, "tell the customers that we are not selling some pain-relieving pills and they are 200 copper coins each. Every customer can only buy a maximum of five every week."
Alayna told Elena; that she wasn’t afraid of people coming back for more as the system will automatically report if anyone breaks the law.
"Okay, I will tell them right away," Elena excitedly responded.
She was curious about these pills that are so cheap and wanted to see them but at the same time, she has work to do so she couldn’t do that.
Elena stood at the door as the customers has not started to come in yet. There was a clock that everyone has gotten used to and until the clock hit 8 a.m., they were not allowed to get inside.
Elena seeing the anxious customers who were looking at the huge clock so that they may get inside smiled, it wasn’t every day one gets to see such obedient people.
"Everyone, this morning I am very happy to announce that the shop will be selling some pain-relieving pills and each cost 200 copper coins and the maximum amount that can be bought by one person in one week is five," Elena shouted so that everyone can hear her.
[Is that true?]
[What kind are they?]
[Oh my …]

Seeing the enthusiastic faces, Elena was very happy and resumed her job. A few minutes later the customers began to rush into the shop and business was booming as usual.
Alayna has few employees and all of them have accommodation except for Elena. In the future, she was planning on hiring more people and retiring to the side. She wasn’t going to keep on taking the cash forever and hiring someone to be an intern was a good idea.
But the problem was she doesn’t trust anyone else and Elena was a good child so she might do the job just right.
The following days were very busy and during her spare time, Alayna was busy thinking of the house rules that were needed. Soon her off day arrived and the shop was closed to the public.
Alayna had used her previous off days to check on the institute but this time she wanted some time to herself. As she had recently received the forest as her own, she decided that it was time to do some exploration.
There were not too many roads in the forest so Alayna was forced to go on foot. And exploring unknown territory although she has the system, she needed to be prepared just in case something happens.
She summoned her fire beast to be on guard and her exploration began. Elena remained at the house, she had become obsessed with some drama lately and she wouldn’t move from the sofa.
Alayna didn’t find this troublesome at all as she can have all the time to herself and do something she had been thinking about for a while now. She left the house wearing some modern clothes; jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt with a jacket, and some sneakers as the weather in the forest were a little bit tricky.
She also took out her cellphone and a selfie stick, she attached the two together and clicked on the app she had downloaded some weeks ago. It was an inter-galaxy live streaming app and just like the others she has met and befriended online, i.e., people from other planets and worlds wherever they are, she registered for an account.
The concept was the same, one live stream something and that depends on the content the host wants, and if you are lucky, you get viewers who in return can send you gifts.
The gifts can be exchanged into points and these points can be further exchanged into any currency and one can buy things online as well. She has some points as she rarely buys a lot of things online but it didn’t hurt to earn some more.
After starting the Livestream, there were zero viewers in her room but she wasn’t discouraged by it.
"Hello everyone, my name is Layna and this is my first live stream. Today I will be live streaming my journey to the forest. To be honest I don’t know what I will find in there but I am looking forward to it," despite having zero viewers Alayna was very enthusiastic about this journey.
The forest was huge and she wasn’t planning on exploring the whole forest in one day, the place was simply too big and no one could cover the whole area at once.
Without saying another word, she changed the view of the camera and began to record the beautiful forest. As she was walking talking about the trees and grass, since she couldn’t keep mum, it was better for her to introduce the plantation and share the knowledge she learnt from her old man.
Without her knowing, her viewer count was increasing slightly. Alayna had muted the sound as she didn’t want to be disturbed just in case, she was lucky to have some viewers.
In her Livestream room, the viewers who had accidentally ended up in such a weird room couldn’t help but chat with each other as they were being shown this stretch of trees and grass.
[Hey guys, does anyone have an idea what the host is doing?]
[I have been looking at the Livestream for some time now and all I can hear is the host explaining and teaching us about trees.]
[Which world is this?]
[I wonder if we are going to see something new!]
[I can’t watch this anymore, I am leaving!]
[Me too.]
[Me too.]

Just like the view count that was around twenty dwindled to five and Alayna was not aware of this happening. Alayna was exploring just a fraction of the forest and she was quite disappointed that she didn’t find anything even after walking for hours.
Getting hungry, she sat down and switched the view of the camera, and took out the food that she has prepared. It was at this moment that she began to check her live stream and she was shocked when she saw the view count.
"Umm, how did I get this number?" she asked herself aloud as she looked at the 100 viewers currently with her.
[Hahahaha, isn’t she cute!]
[I thought that the voice was soft and good. Who knew that the host herself was a beauty herself?]
[After seeing this face, I don’t regret sticking to this room anymore.]
Alayna wasn’t expecting to see this but she was very happy, it wasn’t easy to get people to willingly watch such boring content. There wasn’t anything interesting about her content so having someone willing to watch was a miracle already.
"Thank you everyone for watching. I thought that I will be able to find something interesting in the forest but alas, I picked the wrong side. So, for now, I will just rest and have some food. After that I will continue and check if I can still find something," Alayna explained herself as she opened the lunchbox with the warm food.
She salivated as she looked at the roasted chicken, she had cooked earlier that morning, her eyes also darted to the fresh chips in the other container and her hunger intensified.
Alayna at this moment forgot about her viewers and her viewers became very excited and started sending more messages. Even the viewer counts also began to increase and everyone’s eyes were on the food.
[Host what is that you are eating that looks like strips?]
[Yes, all I can see is the chicken but what is that?]
[I think I know what that is, we have those kinds of chips in our world and they are good with some ketchup.]
[I wonder how they taste?]
It was a mess in the comment section and some people were even excited that they showered her with gifts. The gifts brought her back to reality and she smiled shyly at the camera.
"Thank you everyone for the gifts."
Alayna spent over thirty minutes enjoying her food and chatting with the viewers. When she was done feeding, she resumed her exploration and after thirty minutes or so she came across a very familiar tree that made her shed tears.
"Why is this tree here?" she couldn’t help but ask as she looked at it.
[Host, what is that tree?]
[Yes, I have never seen something like that before.]
