Chapter 24: The count down (1/2)

Ed found out later that he had 1 month and a half before the academy starts. He spent 1 week hunting in the forest but he didn't meet any strong monsters so he didn't level up. He spent another week perfecting the control of his skills and abilities as well as thinking of new combinations.

He had managed to accumulate ten Gacha tickets from his hunts and some minor missions that popped up during these two weeks. Now he was in his room ready to make some draws.

”System use 5 tickets on skills, 2 on function and 3 on armor” Ed made his choices while considering his current state, he needed more skills than anything else.

[Drawing please wait]

*Ding*

Obtained Blacksmith, Pharmaceutical, Zero sign, Cooking, Fire magic, 2xUpgrade card, Leather jacket, Leather pants and Linen underwear.

”System how come I got the Fire magic again?” Ed was happy with most of what he got except the Fire magic. He decided to ignore the underwear that he got once more.

[Duplicates always exist. Else you would have gotten only 1 upgrade card] The system made sense as always. Ed crushed all new skills that he got.

Blacksmith (Legendary): Full mastery.

Able to craft any weapon. Able to add enchantments to weapons.

Pharmaceutical (Legendary): Full mastery.

Able to make all kinds of medicinal pills and potions.

Zero sign (Mythical): Able to erase presence. Even the most advanced sensors wouldn't be able to notice you while touching them. Able to use for a limited time only.

Cooking (Epic): Full mastery.

Able to cook any dish.

Ed was very excited. He had gotten 2 legendary skills and a mythical ability. This alone made his powers skyrocket even more. 'I probably won't have any good luck anytime soon' Ed looked bitter since he felt like he exhausted all his luck just now. Ed also had a complete Leather outfit now. This meant his armor was now complete.

”Master Ed, his highness calls for you” Becky called Ed and informed him that his father requested him.

Ed went over quickly since he knew something was up. He was afraid something bad had come up again.

”Ed sorry for calling you when you're relaxing, but something has come up” Arthur looked worried.

”What happened, father?” Ed got tense as well.

”Our country is losing money. Our crops are barely surviving, which means poor people might starve!” It was indeed an emergency.

”What crops are we trying to grow?”

”Peas, Shallots and spring onions mostly. The other crops are doing okay”

”Then we need to change the crops. We are in spring now, those are winter crops. We should try to grow lettuce, radishes, beets, and carrots. They would be better in this case” Ed used his old world knowledge to help his father. Arthur was in deep thought.

'System what can I do about the lack of money.' Ed, however, had no idea how to make money so he asked his system.

[Host can make magic weapons or pills and sell them.]
