Loyalty Bro hadn't expected the otherworldly Molotov cocktail he'd cobbled together to trigger a "Military Order Mission." It was a perk unique to crafting players, but this particular order was different.
The order's reward was much higher than usual, but the deadline was tight: just three days, half the time allowed for other orders.
Fortunately, Triss's alchemy cottage had all the materials he needed, and Molotov cocktails really weren't difficult to make.
Loyalty Bro soon got to work.
He was a clever guy and planned to "outsource" the task to the NPC apprentices in the alchemy cottage. He could always give them a cut of the pay.
It was obvious he had bigger plans.
He wasn't satisfied with just making Molotov cocktails in the game. That much was clear from the fact that he'd asked Mrs. Triss to let him use those tools.
He was clearly planning to go big.
The tools he wanted to use were the processing equipment Lord Paine had commissioned Lady Lainia to deliver to Crimson Castle. It was a small production line for making bullets and repairing firearms, but no one in the camp knew how to use it, so it had been gathering dust in the camp warehouse ever since it arrived.
