Chapter 36 - 36. Chow Fun For Lunch, Anyone? (1/2)
After the gathering group of men had purchased the wonder MR P pills, only the livestock herders were left and after gathering the number of pills needed, Pointus went out and closed his store for the day. Joan was standing outside the store was peering from her distance what the commotion was all about.
After seeing Pointus leave, she motioned to me to come over. ”What's all the morning commotion about? Why are all those men so eager to suddenly buy at this store? Did that weird loner make some pills or something? He can't be making potions, can he? I had never seen a group of men clamouring over his store even before he arrived today and where is he going? Is he done for business today or what?”
”It is a trade secret, Ma'am. You could ask Pointus personally if you want the direct answers. I'm just a nobody, an apprentice and I just hop around and see where I could fit in.” I replied as a matter of fact as I do not want to affect his business and in turn, Joan would undercut his on making her own concoction instead.
”Alright then, where are you off getting all dressed up in this gear?” she asked as she raised her eyebrows and noticed something peculiar with the battle gear that I wore. ”Oh, I'm off to grind goblins early this morning ma'am. I need to raise funds so I would soon be able to embark on my project real soon.” I explained as she tried to stop off my clothes with just her gaze, I immediately excused myself and made my way out of the Northern forest.
Once I'm out of the Northern District, I exhaled a sigh of relief. Firstly, I made Pointus famous overnight and secondly, men from the northern and southern district would soon realise about the miraculous MR P and Pointus soon would have a steady stream of customers daily. Hah Hah Hah... As for me, its time to grind, grind, and grind some more.
I clicked the goblins camp on my map and readied my crossbow as I warped over there. I easily made a few headshots and managed to kite them over from their hideout. After each turn of 8 goblins and collecting their spoils, I clicked the same location on the map and the goblins were automatically respawned again.
I repeated this for about 60 repetitions before I took a break and looked at my progress. I had gained Experience Points of +5760%, Credits +4800 and lastly, 480 goblins planked shields. In just one morning I had gained 58 levels and had attained Level 161/100,000. On top of that, I also earned 580 points to allocate and it totalled up to 593 altogether. It looked a lot but in actual fact, I only had gained 0.161% of progress...!!!
”WHAAAA...” I finally realised after I made the calculations and if I were to meet with other pay2win characters I'm sure to 'die cock stand' for sure...
I dragged myself back to NoOne's after I had warp near his place as I was terribly encumbered with 480 of those shields. I should put all the 500 points into my STR so that I would be able to carry more weight than usual.
”Be wary of the dangers that lurk in the forest” NoOne said the same thing when I greeted him and I knew he kept tons of credits for us adventurers to exchange. The sale of the shields added another 28,800 credits and made my total wealth to 86,600 credits. I automatically felt unburdened by the heavy shields and immediately push all the unused points into my STR.
