Chapter 64 – More Training
26th Winter, Month 3, the Year 2400
Lucas woke up as usual. He sat on his bed and stared at his surroundings. "It is good to be home," he smiled. It was not like he never slept for a few days in the wild. He did that a lot in the nursery dungeon.
Even so, the nursery dungeon was different from the real dungeon. In the nursery dungeon, he was fine even when he lost his life but not in the real dungeon. The situation was different and he needed to take care of Qin Yun too. The burden was higher.
He wanted to get out of his bed when he got a notification for mission completion.
[Mission: The Best You Can
Details: Do your best in the Gallock Power Competition
Rewards: 10 Attack Stat Breaker Pill
Warning: If you are not doing your best, there will be punishment
Punishment: Lucas and Pets will lose half of their stat points
Result: Complete]
Ten Attack Stat Breaker Pill was added to his storage ring. This was for participating in the Power Competition. He got the reward a bit late because of the incident with the humanoid rabbit.
Another mission completion notification appeared.
[Main Mission 1: Nurture more pets.
Status: One of the nursery's loyal customer's pets obtain the Snow Seed with the help of the Nursery System's owner that will help him soar to a new height as a Tamer. Not only that but due to the training done at the nursery, the customer managed to survive in the unexplored dungeon area with the trained pet. More to that, the Pet Nursery System's Owner helped the customer to further strengthen the pet.
Rewards: 50 Random Stat Breaker Pill. 100 System's experience]
Fifty Random Stat Breaker Pill was added to his storage ring.
Lucas was shocked to get that many Stat Breaker Pill.
"I did not expect to get that many pills," Lucas was shocked.
[It is because of the Snow Seed] Sery replied. [Also, that pill is cheap and you only get that much. The Guardian is cheapskate] Sery was displeased.
"Hahaha," Lucas just laughed. He knew that Sery was too loyal to him and he seemed to dislike the Guardian too because of the many meddling he has done.
Lucas got out of his bed, took a morning shower, and had breakfast with his family. The breakfast that morning was a bit different than usual. Hailey was more cheerful than before. Not only that but she talked a lot about Blue.
Now that she broke the wall of fear a bit, she became much happier. It was a big step for her and Lucas was happy for her.
Lucas also started talking about his experience in the Snowflake Dungeon. He told them about the Blizzard Orb, Fury's double evolution, the Snow Seed, and his ten days traveling to the dungeon's entrance.
Since Hailey had opened up to Blue, she started to show interest in Lucas's story. She listened to Lucas's experience intently. Lucas was happy to see Hailey's changes.
Lucas went to Room No 1 and picked up Fury, Foody, and Glaide. Lucas was happy to see Glaide was fine. She went back to her prideful attitude as usual.
Lucas checked the trio stats and nothing unusual detected. All of them were fine. Lucas decided to put the trio back to train in the Nursery Dungeon.
If he was not stuck at the Snowflake Dungeon, he would be going out and participated in many competitions but that plan went to smoke. He had been staying in the dungeon for too long and many major competitions he could participate in had started. He missed the chance to register.
He decided to abandon the Winter Competition. He had his reasons. First of all, he was too weak, and in half a month, the school would start. At the moment, Lucas was still a Stage 1 Rank 2 Tamer. He needed to reach at least Stage 1 Rank 8 or else, he would get bullied in school.
He needed to hurry up as there was only half a month left. He needed to focus on training for the rest of the 25 days. Having less achievement was fine but not his cultivation. Without his cultivation high enough, he would get bullied and would have no way to defend himself.
"Let see here," Lucas checked Fury's Snow Seed's completion and it was at 93%. 7% more and the seed would level up to 1. Lucas thought for a bit and decided to enter the Snowflake Nursery Dungeon.
Lucas entered the dungeon and his surrounding temperature decreased immediately. His surrounding was now full of snow. Everything was white.
"Sery, help me search for snow element monsters. I want to complete the Snow Seed," Lucas asked for Sery's help.
[10 kilometers south-west from here, you will find a group of Snow Hare. All of them are Tier 4. They will be enough to complete the Snow Seed] Sery gave the info. Lucas nodded.
"Foody, Glaide, eat this pill," Lucas pulled out two pills from his storage ring. The two pills were the Tier 2 Breaker Pill. Foody and Glaide had yet to eat the pills. They were still Tier 2. When they ate the pill, they would be Tier 3.
Glaide lowered her beak and ate the pill instantly. Immediately, Lucas got the notification that Glaide's Tier had increased to 3 and nothing else happened. She was not as lucky as Fury to get an evolution. Even so, Lucas was not disappointed.
Foody was still with his antics. He examined the pill as if it was some kind of priceless treasure before he started to eat it. Unfortunately, Foody was the same as Glaide. His Tier increased to 3 but no evolution.
Lucas glanced at Fury and thought, 'How high is this guy's luck? Is he meeting me, luck too? Or am I choosing him, his luck?' Lucas wondered.
*Clap* Lucas clapped his hand to get all of their attention. The trio looked at Lucas.
"Foody and Glaide. Starting today, your training will be in this dungeon. For Glaide, the training will be as usual. Increase your stat and then your skill's level," Lucas gave his instruction to Glaide. Glaide nodded as she understood Lucas's instruction.
"Foody. First of all, train your stats. Once it reaches the maximum, we will train together to improve your skills," Lucas said. Foody nodded. "Okay, both of you can go. Just go anywhere you want to train," Lucas said.
He added, "This dungeon is similar to the real dungeon. If you find a treasure, grab it and use it. No need to hold back." Lucas looked at both of them and said, "You can go."
Glaide spread her wing and flapped it as she rose to the sky. Then, she flew somewhere to train. Foody sniffed around and decided on a path. It looked like he found something suitable for his palate.
"Fury, let's go. Let's complete the seed and see what it is," Lucas and Fury walked south-west to meet the group of Snow Rabbit.
