Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 10 - 10 – The Way



I made a double-press gesture towards the slave girl, triggering an Interface displaying her parameters to appear.

[Leva, 23 years old (Slave)]

INCAPABLE OF:

Apart from mining, you're a fighter, aren't you? This fact makes me even more convinced to get you.

Unfortunately, I don't know if our resources are enough to be exchanged for this woman. Even if it were enough, I'm not sure I'd trade my colonists' knives and foodstuffs.

Is violence the only way?

I brought up the interface parameters of the two slavers. Only two stats appeared on each of them.

[Tosa, 36 years old. (Wandering merchant, slaver, tribe member)]

Ranged Attack: 72/100

Melee attack: 26/100

[Reha, 32 years old. (Wandering merchant, slaver, tribe member)]

Ranged Attack: 20/100

Melee attack: 71/100

Shit. The abilities of my colonists are far behind.

I looked the two bastards up and down. Their clothes are still made of animal skin, but they are similar to the shirts, pants, and shoes that modern humans usually wear. All stitched, although far from neat.

The machete tucked into Reha's pants also looks convincing, with metallic materials and sleeker craftsmanship. Not only that, the bow, quiver, and arrows on Tosa's back also looked very refined.

They seem to come from a more advanced tribe.

[Attacking or killing a character that comes peacefully will increase the tension of that character's home colony. Those who survive the attack will report to their colony. If they died, their Colony would be suspicious of why they didn't come home. Other members of the colony may trace their path. Then once they arrive at your colony, they will conduct an investigation. The tension that is too high from other colonies will make them hostile to your colony.]

Those texts made me even more frustrated. I looked into the beautiful bright blue eyes of the female slave. Is there really no way to save you, my dear?

After pondering for a while, I decided to press the play button. There's no point in pausing too long. The game must go on.

"Look, if you don't want to buy this slave, fine. You can take a look at the other things we brought. Maybe there's something that interests you." Tosa continued his speech. Getting no answer from Manu, Tosa said again. "Even if you don't want to buy from us, that's fine too. We just want to warm up in your bonfires. Don't worry, we'll reward you."

"Well, even though it looks like this, we don't really like violence." Reha shrugged with a sneer. "As long as you don't attack first."

Bullshit.

Tosa glanced at his partner and snorted in annoyance. "Just shut up."

When he was about to look at Manu again, Tosa's attention was drawn to near the shelter. Kat's shoe lay there.

"Is that the thing that humans have from the ship that came from the sky!?" Tosa widened her eyes and approached the footwear.

However, Manu blocks him.

Tosa raised her hand and smiled again. "Relax, I have no intention of stealing, really. You know that human belongings from the sky ship are very valuable? The material is very soft, comfortable to wear, and can't be replicated. Even one shoe is very expensive."

It turns out there is another way!

"I know, so what?" Manu replied in a cold tone.

"Could it be that some of your group members are from that sky ship? If they still have a few other pieces of clothing, that might be enough to buy this slave."

As soon as I heard that, I ordered Seb and Kat to come out of hiding.

"Ah, there you are!" Tosa looks happy. He pointed to Seb's pants and Kat's shirt. "I'll trade this slave for everything you two are wearing."

Including Kat's underwear? Ugh. Even for me, that's too much. If I see naked women in the shower or make love, I'm okay with that. It happened at the right time and place. However, seeing them naked everywhere, I feel very sorry for them. I prefer them to wear sexy clothes, without showing nipples and pussy.

Yeah, just like now, I'm not comfortable looking at this naked slave.

"Including everything this girl is wearing?" Seb asked with a big smile. He walked over to Tosa. "Wouldn't those shoes and my pants suffice?"

"Hey, if you give away all the pieces of clothing, including the woman's underwear, you will not only get this slave, but also some of the things we brought with us." Tosa spread her hands.

[Communication is essential in making transactions. It can make your character bargain well. After observing the interactions of your colonists, you should choose who you think is most competent in trading with merchants.]

[If the transaction goes well, it will increase the impression on your colony that is felt from the merchant's home colony.]

Realizing Seb has excellent communication skills, I whisper in his ear, giving orders for him to negotiate.

Seb chuckled. "Well, she'll be completely naked then. We don't have any more clothes in stock. Although I love seeing a woman's body, I feel sorry for her when she's naked. It's very uncomfortable, I've experienced it."

Tosa sighed and put his hands on his hips. He looked again at the shoe, Seb's pants, and Kat's shirt. "I cannot accept your offer, sir."

"Hey, hey, listen to me, my friend. You said these things were very valuable, didn't you? Just imagine if you managed to get them. Your tribe leader must be happy and you'll be loved even more." With a broader smile, Seb stopped quite close to the slaver. "You want that to happen, don't you? Come on."

From Tosa's mouth that is moving a little, I can tell that he's starting to falter.. Good job, Seb.
