My Profession: Moonlight Sculptor
Re-translated by Leollyn
Baran village was bustling with the drastically increased number of users.
“Selling sculptures! Food for sale! Repairing low durability armor or weapons for a cheap price!”
“That sculpture, how much is it?”
“20 silver per piece! Is it expensive? Art is usually expensive as it is pretty.”
Weed, the focus of explosive interest of female users! Each of the sculptures he made appeared alive. Most sculptures, especially stone sculptures, were too large and couldn’t be sold. In order to draw crowds, smaller models were produced. These were cute and extremely adorable, receiving the majority of attention from the female users.
Weed simultaneously cooked while selling sculptures. People gathered, attracted by the smell of the food being stirred and fried. People who came to buy sculptures were also enamoured by the smell of the cuisine.
“What are you cooking?”
“It’s poison.”
“Eek, poison? You’re making poison? Even though it’s emitting this delicious scent…”
“Yes, it’s poisonous because it’s so delicious that it’s worth dying twice for! Here’s a sample dish. Try a little bit!”
The users tasted Weed’s stew. He gave each a spoonful.
First of all, the smell! The stew was made from boiling wild edible greens which were good for the body and it emitted a sweet fragrance. As soon as the stew entered the mouth, the eyes of the female users widened at the gently unraveling sweet flavor.
“Wow, it’s delicious! Brother (Oppa)1, can’t you buy me some?”
“Yeah! Eat as much as you want. Since my Sena wants it so much… Mister, how much is it?
“15 silvers.”
“Far too expensive for one dish, isn’t it?”
The faces of the male users became distorted. This was because 15 silvers was a significantly high price. However, Weed never compromised when it came to price. There was no room to compromise when it came to money.
“The reason I cook is to allow many people to eat more delicious food. But I feel that this road is not easy. It seems the dishes are expensive since everyone complains about it.”
“Well, of course it is!”
“I would like to sell it really cheap; however, the cost of ingredients for this is nearly 14 silvers. When you consider the cooking tools and all the effort I put in, I’m selling it for next to nothing. *Sniffle*. Should I give up my dream of cooking delicious food and use cheap ingredients to cook cheap food? It’s really a dilemma for me. *Sniffle*!”
Weed cried contemptibly, it was an act. Even if he was stabbed and bled, Weed would not shed a tear. This was an investment. An investment in ingredients for no cost!
“Brother!”
The investment paid off, the female users vehemently cried out.
“Let’s just buy his food! I mean, come on! He’s someone who cooks really well… After all, my mom would say that cooking comes from the heart. Someone who makes food as delicious as this must be a really good person.”
“Yeah, I got it. Sorry about that Chef, hope you sell a lot.”
The couple went and surprisingly paid 20 silvers. Neither of them asked for change. Weed’s expression changed to a smile of satisfaction.
‘Anything tastes good if you don’t know what good food is. Once again, money earned.’
Weed skillfully sold sculptures and food. In fact, the materials did not even cost 1 silver.
The wild greens were the cheapest ingredients from the market and the other ingredients weren’t that much more expensive. Since the market was in a mountain village and they didn’t have many things to sell, the prices for materials regarding food were very cheap. Even though the market didn’t have ingredients that the markets in the larger towns had, with the large variety of ingredients, all kinds of dishes could be made.
“Mister! One bowl please.”
“Seaweed rolls (Kimbab2) for us.”
“I came back again, hehe.”
There was no end to the customers. Due to Weed’s cooking skills and sculpting skills being at the intermediate level, he was drawing huge crowds. With the crowds growing, even his exaggeration grew, but Weed was someone who thought lies weren’t lies if they were for business. Weed also made customers feel better with his thorough service. However, from time to time, there were customers that troubled him.
“Excuse me, I think I’ve seen you on television.”
Two women approached, trying to view every aspect of Weed’s face, and they asked:
“You are the Princess Knight, aren’t you?”
It was the nickname that he received after taking an active role in an event at Daein High school to get the prize. Probably due to the news spreading rapidly throughout the internet, there were a lot of people who recognized him. Some may like to be really popular, but in Weed’s case, it was different. Of the many nicknames he had, the nickname of Princess Knight was enormously embarrassing.
“Well, you see, I think you got the wrong person.”
Weed turned his eyes away to avoid their attention. Weed’s cooking was not only delicious, when eaten, it gave a significant boost to the user’s health and mana. Due to this reason, many people came to eat his cooking. The boost was so significant, to the extent that even hunting parties came and ate as a group.
“The price is 15 silvers. The price for the special nourishing meal for hunting is 30 silvers. Thank you. Have a pleasant hunt!”
Even though the price of the food and sculptures were high, Weed did offer to repair their low durability items for free as extra service, so the price wasn’t really a problem. Even though it was 30 silvers, for users who hunted in Baran village, it was an amount they could easily pay.
Food that raised health and mana was more than worth the amount they had to pay when hunting. Of course, there really were expensive dishes. A dish made by using the egg of the Avians and the fruit of heaven, left a taste so delicious that you wouldn’t notice if someone died beside you.
Just counting the cost of ingredients, the fruit of heaven was 15 silvers and the egg of the Avians cost a whopping 95 silvers. However, the dish wasn’t just an expensive dish, it was also difficult to cook. Health foods are not made with one main ingredient. A health food dish needed to neutralize the strong potency, while doubling the effect.
Just like when making ginseng chicken soup (samgyetang), ginseng, dates and other various medicinal herbs are used. The dish needs to bring out the flavour and maximize the effect of all its ingredients. These are the difficulties and hardships of a chef.
Thus, after several attempts and failures, the names of the dishes made with the egg of the Avians and the fruit of heaven were:
Wellbeing Royal Bud of the Day!
Sweet Nut Bay Leaf 3
The dish made using both of those ingredients had this name:
Main Nut on the Bird
This dish brings out the effects of both the egg of the Avians and the fruit of heaven, which means it gives a significant boost to strength, intellect, luck, mana and health.

When Mapan joined Weed in Baran village, he had high expectations.
“Finally, my time as a tired and exhausted merchant will end! Now, it’s only smooth sailing from here.”
One can say a merchant’s road is difficult. In Mapan’s mind, the memories of suffering flashed by.
“Whew, those were tough times.”
When he initially chose to be a merchant, he was filled with hopes and dreams. The Merchant class really struck Mapan’s fancy:
Money!
Money was power!
Money was fame!
The world, in the end, was dominated by money. He majored in economics, and he firmly believed that capitalism was not an ideology, but economics itself. To earn capital, he was prepared to endure some hardship.
It felt like all the money in the Versailles continent became his, and with it, he wanted to construct a large trading company to obtain a large amount of fame. In some kingdoms, it was said that peerage as a noble could be bought with enough money. In a word, he chose the road as a merchant to earn lots of money.
But what was this! From the beginning, the road to becoming a merchant was rough without equal. Since he was not allowed out of the city for four weeks, he ran errands. He worked diligently in hotels, weapon stores, and exchanges, to save a small sum of money. Everything was for the Merchant class quest. Mapan jumped, ran and rolled!
Ding!
“Since I’ve seen all the effort you’ve put in, I think you have the talent to become a merchant. If you don’t have a greed for money, you are not a merchant. I urgently need 300 pieces of rabbit pelt. I’ll give you one gold, so can you get them for me? If you do, I will formally accept you as a merchant of Rosenheim kingdom! However, get it done as quickly as possible. I need them within 3 days.”
The Exchange owner who needs Rabbit Pelts
The owner of the Exchange requires a large quantity of rabbit leather. There is no need to know why he needs it, but it seems that doing it as quickly as possible would be good.
Difficulty: E
Reward: Merchant Profession
Quest limit: Three days
If you fail, the Exchange owner’s confidence in you will decline and you will not receive a commission for one month.
‘Hooray, I earned money!’
Singing with delight, Mapan accepted the request.
“He even gave me one gold, as expected of a merchant quest, even from the beginning, they give a lot of money.”
Rabbits were common beginner monsters that spawned in front of the castle. One rabbit leather sold for 10 coppers in a general store, so the total purchase price should have been 3000 coppers. Therefore, he calculated that 30 silver should have been sufficient.
Of course, the other party needed to have some benefits. In a proper business transaction, both sides needed to profit.
“Buying Rabbit Pelts! I’m willing to pay 11 coppers each!”
Mapan cried out with a loud voice in front of the castle. He was hoping that massive amounts of users hunting rabbits would come running. Nearby, another merchant sh
