I liked how this chapter showed a point I raised before, i.e. buying directly the materials. Also liked the way MC used his skill to understand nearby there were items they needed, by the short time. Though that bring up the following question, is the skill able to understand ownership of materials and legality of sources? There were probably other materials gathered by people around, had he it the auto-mode would have it started in killer frenzy to get them like the girl suspected, or try steal some from the shop? Against monsters it didn't seem to care it ended putting the MC in a dangerous situation, so why would it care if after gathering them he would have committed a crime?
Also 2 other doubts from previous chapters were positively answered. The girl seems to have reworn her disguise (still should have done it before the auto-travel, as then she arrived with her hairs not tucked under the hood). Let's see if they will continue keeping it, explain it, or just dump it with no reason after doing the telegraphed reveal.
The other was the part about shared loot. When explaining the contest I read that and understood as items in common counted for both lists, but MC after kept talking as if they needed those double, so I was getting confused. I thought I had misunderstood that part, or was mistranslated. But no, it was just MC that was a complete idiot, even after three years there (yes, he had never done that exam, and was always alone, but seeing how he bragged about his knowledge about the buying workaraund you would expect for him to understand such a simple rule)
In the end, the paper put in last page is unintentionally funny. I understand it is an abstraction just to show us readers about the people we are following, but had it been real it would be totally wack.
A: "Hey Guildmaster, should we give each person that passed the exam equal space in the result table?"
GM: "Nah, let's make half the paper only about two randos, and put 12 of them in a single row."
