56 Taming (1/2)

”I guess I can just continue with the same training as before.”

”I don't think that will work. After all next week will be the newcomer tournament and for that you should reach at least level 200 or you will only embarrass yourselves. Besides that getting a good ranking in it will also help you to proceed since the resources allocated as well as the possible mission depend on it. At least for the first year.”

”What the? And you only tell me now? There is no way I can increase my stat to above level 50 with that training in one week.”

”Well remember that you theoretically only need one stat above 50 to reach level 50. But you should think about it carefully since it may have a surprising amount of influence on your future.”

”What do you mean? I have never heard about that before.”

”That's no surprise since most people aren't aware of it, but according to some research the alliance did it does have a slight influence on your cells. If one reaches 50 first in strength then ones cells gain a bit more explosive strength while endurance slightly increases the regeneration of cells. Agility will slightly increase your reaction speed. But in my opinion magic power is the best since it not only increases the rate at which one can absorb power from the surroundings, it can also slightly increase ones ability of comprehension. Of course this is balanced by the fact that it is much harder to raise.”

As soon as Ivan heard the benefits on raising ones magic power first he decided to do that. During his time in the wilderness he had already discovered that crafting pills the way he did had strong requirements on ones magic power and as such also significantly increased it. Besides that it was already his highest stat even though it was only at 26.

Of course trying to raise his stats also meant that he would have to be careful not to die since that could destroy all the progress he had made.

”Then shouldn't I postpone going into the dungeon until I have reached level 50?”, he thought about it and this was the best course of action he could find.

”Not at all. After all the others too will have a pet so if you don't have any then you will be in a serious disadvantage. Of course only taming the pet isn't enough. You will have to train it and get used to fighting together with it.”

These words made sense to Ivan, so he could only nod his head.

”Now get going, the less time you waste the better. If you can't manage to get into the top ten of the tournament then I will find something to punish you.”

As soon as he heard this threat Ivan ran.
