Chapter 68 - 68. So Boring After Am I Right Or What? (1/2)
I've got the 7 Production Plants in the way including the one in Beauty World and it's high time for some adventure as I head out to the Southern Plains. I don't want to be labelled as a wussy since I've been relying on my light crossbow for quite some time.
Well, this time I'm going to spend some of my allocated points into my other attributes. I've decided to allocate 5k points to my STR and make it to Strength: 8000 (+3) and dumped 3k+ on my INT to make it to Intelligence: 4587.
My stats had increased to this amount.
STR: Damage +8000 Armour +8000
INT: Damage +4587 Resistance +458.7%
Even it may look OP, well its time to find out once I deploy my Kamehameha, Diamond Thunderbolt and Rise of the Sun. I'm itching to find out the damage ratings once I deeply those three.
I've been grinding those goblins and trolls lately and I remember that Prius had mentioned about Desert Warg, The Red Axes Orcs, The Corpse Maws Skeletons and Pseudoscorpion. These sounds exciting enough and the only thing I need to watch out for would be the sting from that Pseudoscorpion. No matter how small it would be, its sting is one that is venomous.
I clicked on my quickslot 1 and my nipple buckler and the iron pommel dagger emerged. Although it's damage was only so-so, but with my allocated attributes of 8k damage, it should do well enough, I guess.
The Desert Wargs were like mutated wolves with bodies 3 times as large and as tall as a man. A beast of that size and with my dagger and buckler, it was like a personal battle.
It was a super close melee and I had used the nipple buckler as a weapon as well as armour. When those desert Wargs gets too close, I would use the nipple buckler to smash it against its head instead. *Kaboing Kaboing Kaboing*
*Ding* Congratulations. You had defeated Desert Warg. Experience +2
Instead of the Desert Wargs chasing me down as its prey, they become the hunted as I chased them down. After a while, I gave up chasing them like a crazed maniac across the Southern Plain.
It was becoming an idle morning for me so I decided to shoot countless Kamehameha into rock walls, boulders and anything lifeless in the Plains.
It seems the Southern Plain is pretty plain boring to me right now. There seems to be nothing of interest right now except for getting sunburnt and the offscreen crew were either sunning themselves or simply basking in the shades with their ice-cold Slurpees as I decided to join them as well.
”How's the progress for this series so far?” asked one of the crews. ”I don't know man, I'm kind of getting a writer's block and there nothing much I could do over here.” I simply replied as I spread my hands and shrug my shoulders as I took a sip from the green apple flavoured ice cold Slurpees out in the Plains.
”How about getting some progress on your basic skills right now? Pointus would have something for you to do since it had been a month since you last help him in the pill making.” suggested one of the crew.
”Or you can go to the library and learn some botany, plants, herbs and spices? I am sure there are reference books in the local library that could help you gain further progress rather than roaming aimlessly here in the Plains.” suggested one of the offscreen crew as he offered me a stick of cloves cigarette.
I smoked while I was sitting under the shade and wondered what else would I be doing at this moment, rather than grinding or duplicating pieces of iron amulet for sale. Would there be another trade to explore since I do have 7 production plants running at the same time to produce beauty products?
I blew my smoke in circles with my mouth as I relaxed with the offscreen crew out there in the Plains. After I had finished my smoke and the ice-cold Slurpees, I decided to head back inside and see what else they have in the Southern District that I had not ventured.
I thanked the offscreen crew as I went back in and looked at the minimap as I made my way around. True enough there is a library here and I headed inside. A group of scholars thought that I had lost my way and ventured into a wrong place instead.
”Excuse me, would there book on botany or plants that I could make the reference of in this place?” I asked a librarian as the group if scholars kept their eyes on me as I sauntered with the librarian to the reference section and were shown a shelf with all kinds of books on botany, plant and its medicinal uses.
”Thank you very much... This will do just fine.” I replied when I reached the section and with my system, I basically just need to touch the books with my hands and I am able to learn the whole contents of it immediately.
I held a book called 'Inside The Secret World Of Plants' and I heard an announcement ringing in my head.
*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'Inside The Secret World Of Plants'. +46 new knowledge acquired. Learn?
”Learn” I just answer through my thoughts and I replace the book after I'm done.
*Ding* Congratulations. You had learnt +46 new plants. Progress 61%. Intermediate Herbalist 6/100.
