[Western Fantasy] How Does an NPC Make a Fortune?

In her fifteenth year after transmigrating into a world of magic, Mavis inherited her family's little shop and met a group of customers with strange names. That's when she discovered that she was actually an NPC in a game.

These players are all idiots. They sell Mavis old armor with zero durability, and she can scrub it clean and sell it back to them for ten times the price. She can split one pot of potion into little bottles and sell it as multiple potions. She can even scribble a few magic runes on a weapon and sell it for a fortune.

Mavis has found the perfect way to get rich.

As long as she gives the players a few pieces of rune-imbued gear, they'll bring her anything she wants. The only downside is that they still can't find any high-level magical materials.

But Mavis has found herself a little monster who claims to be a demon.

It's the first time in his life that Thrain has met such a strange human. She isn't afraid of him, a great demon, and while he's injured, he can't even beat her.

And why is she focused on such weird things?!

Mavis: "Do you have wings? Fallen angel wings with feather tips sharp enough to carve diamonds, the kind you can use to draw magic runes?"

Thrain: "No."

Mavis: "Do you have scales? The kind from a magic dragon, hard enough to grind into potion ingredients and shiny enough to sparkle on their own?"

Thrain: "...No."

Mavis: "Then... surely you at least have cute little horns and a triangle-shaped tail, even if they can't be used as magical materials!"

Thrain: "..."

Mavis (looking unimpressed): "Oh..."

Thrain (bristling): "Just you wait! Once I'm healed, I'll go home, pluck every feather off the fallen angel guarding my door and every scale off the magic dragon that pulls our carriage, and bury you alive with them!!!"

Mavis: "Yay!"

[Interstellar] Dating Is No Match for Piloting a Mech

Xie Yi unfortunately transmigrated into an interstellar ABO melodrama about a scumbag top getting his comeuppance. Luckily, he became the beta older brother of the protagonist, with no extra organs to worry about. The beta brother was originally engaged to the scumbag alpha through an arranged marriage, but the engagement passed to his omega younger brother because their genders weren't compatible. In the original story, the brother was the white moonlight original in a replacement-romance arc among the many plots in which the younger brother was mistreated. Once the top came to his senses, the brother was the first to end up in the crematorium. In other words, devastated after being dumped, he piloted a mech straight into the Zerg and blew himself up alongside them.

After reading the original story, Xie Yi: [Meme of an old man staring at his phone]

I'm out of here! If I can pilot a mech, why get dragged into this mess?

Xie Yi changed his application. He switched from the military academy close to home, the same one as the scumbag, to another equally prestigious academy, and hurriedly made his escape.

Ji Huaisheng is the scourge of Imperial Military Academy. His attendance is always ranked last, but his combat ranking is always first. A few months into the new school year, he discovered that someone had matched his perfect training score, despite having skipped class for half a semester.

The onlookers all wondered when the two of them would fight to decide who was better. A month later, they finally arranged a match. Before the fight, they went through their usual trash talk.

Ji Huaisheng: "Dating or fighting. Pick one."

Xie Yi: "Only kids have to choose. Adults can do both, but I'll pick fighting!"
