Chapter 9 Compressed stone of Mana. (1/2)
The 3 bottles with pills inside appeared in front of Theo and the (Red fox).
Opening the bottle of [Wood Pill] first, Theo signalled for the (Red fox).
The (Red Fox) soon understood, taking the pill and swallowed it.
Seeing that she had just digested it, Theo went to the [Fire Pill] to open the bottle, which the (Red fox) also swallows.
(Red fox): ”GRRR”
Even though she expected pain from consuming the pills, the [Fire Pill] refined the body, so the pain it did to her body was larger than the other pills, causing her to grunt from the pain.
At that moment, there was a lot of impurities coming out of her body.
After the effect was over, Theo gave her the last pill, the [Water Pill], and the (Red fox) swallowed it too.
(Red fox): ”???”
This time she was surprised when she swallowed the [Water Pill], since instead of feeling the pain, it made her feel very well, since she cleansed the impurities of her body.
After consuming all the pills, the (Red fox) managed to reach the 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom.
Seeing that it was over, the (Red fox) headed toward Theo and began to rub her face again on his chest, wagging her tail quickly and very happily.
Theo: ”Ahh, what a bad smell!!” Theo exclaimed, smelling the scent coming from the (Red fox) due to the impurities that came out of her body. And because of that, she ended up dirtying Theo as well.
Theo: ”Hm, I wanted to take a shower anyways. I'll buy 2 water basins.” He thought, opened the [System Store] and bought 2 basins with water, one with 10 liters and the other with 20 liters since the one 10 liters was only 1 meter in size, and he had grown from 160 cm. 165 cm, so he couldn't bathe in it.
The basins with water soon appeared in front of Theo and the (Red fox). Theo then signalled to the (Red fox) to get into one as he began to enter the other, cleaning himself.
The (Red fox) very smart and understood what Theo meant. Then she also went into the basin to take a bath.
-----------------------
After bathing, Theo left the basin. Feeling a little hungry, he tried to buy roast beef in the [System Store] but it did not work. He could only find meat, fish and many other things… but raw. So he decided to buy meat and cook it himself.
Searching in the [System Store], Theo managed to find a wood stove being sold in [System Store] for 20 points. So without wasting time, Theo left the [Cave] and bought the wood stove.
A square wood stove appeared, it was made of bricks with an iron plate on top of it. Theo then collected some dry branches and put them inside the wood stove. Then controlling his [Lightning], Theo managed to set fire to the dry branches.
Seeing that he managed to make it catch fire, Theo then bought 2 large pieces of meat in the [System Store] for 20 points.
Theo then placed the 2 pieces of meat on the iron plate to grill them. Turning them with difficulty using his claws, soon the smell of roasted meat became stronger.
Smelling the scent of the meat the (Red-Fox) came over to see while drooling when looking at the meat.
Seeing that it was ready, Theo bought 2 bowls and put the grilled meat on them.
”I confess that when smelling the grilled meat I could not help drooling ...” Theo said in his mind. After placing the meat in the bowl, Theo put the one near the (Red fox), and they began to eat.
After they started eating, Theo noticed that even if it didn't tempt him, it still had a very good taste, compared to the raw meat that he had been eating. After they ate all the meat, Theo put out the fire and returned to [Cave].
Remembering that there may be a mattress to buy in the [System Store], Theo went looking and found one for 20 [System Points]. He then bought it and placed it in a corner of the [Cave] and laid on the mattress. ”Ahh! It's way better this way!” Theo thought as he laid down on the mattress.
(Red fox): ”???”
The (Red fox) watched Theo lying down on the mattress. She stared at him, thinking and then went to him, and laid on his side leaning against him.
”She was very spoiled, wasn't she?” Theo murmured in his mind. Then he sighed and decided to let her stay like that.
After that, Theo searched the [System Store] for something that might help him cultivate, and he found it.
[50 Points]
[Compressed Mana Stone: Lower - Rank: 3]
[Effect: Being close to it helps to absorb mana several times faster]
Theo: ”Okay, I'll buy 4 of these and since the (Red fox) is close to me, she can also absorb mana from it.” He thought.
After buying them, 4 milky white stones appeared in front of Theo emitting white light from them.
The (Red fox) was already used to seeing Theo buy things like that, so she barely reacted to seeing the stones appear out of nowhere. She simply glanced over and then closed her eyes again, still leaning against Theo.
Theo: ”[Status]”
