Chapter 42 - These experts are just scammers

MADY

When Madilynn entered the system room, she first added Viny, Harper and Boden as friends. Boden and Harper have not yet accepted her request for friendship, as they quickly entered their duties. But Viny agreed.

"System, contact Viny!"

'Connecting ...

"Hey Mady, what happened?"

"Viny, why did you take the call so slowly? You keep me waiting as if you had to reach for the phone. Hmph! "

"Come on. Look, take a look inside my room. Combined with Amos' room. It's very messy and I have to arrange everything. "

"Can I ask something?"

"You can of course ask, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted the call. Heheh "

"Huuu. What do you think I should do? "

"I myself will go into an easy task for one person. But it may not be difficult in two-person missions. If there is something useful the system will give, I will take it, otherwise I will not be too tired because I am already on the easy task. "

"Do you think I should ask an expert?"

"Asking an expert at this stage can lead to a high rate of fraud. Although they sell a lot of information as valuable as gold, we can learn it ourselves after two or three tasks. I will also tell you a secret! "

"Hmm what is it?"

"I think… the people in our group asked the expert. We can learn everything for free. Hahaha"

"Ohh! You are right. Then I'm closing for now. Bye bye Viny."

"See you."

After some thought, Mady tried to reach out to Boden and Harper again. She felt relieved by taking a shower. She got ready and studied the new missions. She bought a mind development method from the shop. She also bought a bow, a Grade-2 weapon. There was also a Grade-2 arrow quiver next to the bow. She could produce arrows with energy. But how she can produce energy, she did not know.

- Successfully Hunt the Lightning Creek Crow.

Duration: 8 Weeks

Difficulty Level: Normal

Reward: 60 TG, 500 LE

Penalty: -1000 LE

'System Alert: A second agent is available for the mission.

The mission will last eight weeks and you are expected to hunt a Lightning Creek Crow.

Number of Agents Joint: 2.

Hunting together is appropriate. It is preferred that the agents do not kill each other.

Friendly mode is turned on.

If you act together, Lord Talley would be more pleased.'

Mady came out of the yellow door and found herself in a town. The town looked a little big. But every single houses around were single-storey. After a little wandering, Mady came to the only inn in town. This place was also one-story. Upon entering, she discovered that she had no money with her. She came back out of the lobby with a little bit of stress. It is not possible to stay here without money. She was looking around in the town square while she was thinking about what to do. She saw Piper coming towards her from across the street.

Piper felt a little relieved when she saw Mady.

"Hey Mady, I was a little nervous about who the other agent was. It is a great chance that you chose the same mission."

"Luck!" Mady winked and repeated after Piper. Mady then shook her head, after looking around "I don't have any money used in this town. I guess I need to find a job."

Piper waved the pouch in her hand "Never mind! I sold the old leather armor provided by the system and one short sword. This much money will be enough for us to live for 3 to 4 weeks. Let's go inside."

Mady followed Piper. When they entered, Piper said the two would stay in the same room. The attendant at the hotel was not surprised that the two women had a shared room. He only glanced at the women, gave the key and described the location of their rooms.

When they entered, Piper asked Mady what element she was capable of. Piper felt a little awkward when Mady said she didn't know anything. Looking at Mady, "Mady is no offense. I earned everything by selling my life energy. I don't have much time left. I have no chance of taking a hard task and failing once more. "

Mady looked with a smile and said "If you tell me everything, I'll give you 1000 TG."

Piper smiled and shook her head "5000 TG"

Mady was a little surprised "Hey but that means 500 LE. I mean, years?"

Piper looked down sadly. "I also spent close to twenty thousand LE. I have a body enhancement method. It can bring the body up to 5.0 points. I share it with you, but you have to pay 15000 TG. I got it for eighty thousand."

Mady glared at Piper. "Hey, this is scam! These experts are just scammers."

Mady angrily said "I'm glad I consulted Viny, or these scammers would rob me too!"

Mady pulled out a parchment from her bag. "This is a mind-building method. It advances your mind up to 3.0 points. It gives 10 minutes a day, 0.1 points a week. This is not worth that much, but I will still take the bodybuilding technique from you for 15 thousand TA. I will give this on too. But first I have to learn."

Piper smiled "I haven't learned mine as well"

Piper explained all the events, the secret of immortality and breathing exercises. Mady listened thoroughly. Piper took the experimental sphere given to her for a while and tested Mady. She saw that Mady had pale blue energy. Piper smilingly explained "This is a weapon power. So, you're more prone to weapon-daos. In the future, you may awaken a sword dao or a spear dao."

Mady pointed to her bow and arrow after some thought.

Piper oppositely spoke "Come on, Mady! You took on the mission, the bird will be hunt, so you got them. That's why you won't be using bow and arrow for thousands of years."

Mady scratched her head a bit "Hmm, that's right. Fortunately, all energies open up the first 5 acupuncture points. I'll open it then. We will look after."

The two opened the five acupoints in a few minutes. Piper linked with her space ring and Mady linked with her bow and quiver to their souls. Then one worked on the bodybuilding method and the other on the mind enhancement method. Then they exchanged parchments and learned and studied another one. The next day, Mady was thinking of going out a little bit and finding something.

Looking at Mady, Piper gave a suggestion "Mady, there is an unknown world outside. You are someone who has just begun to energize. You can be a target very easily. I prepared myself in a way that I can improve myself well. Only two hours will have passed by the end of this mission and return. So, keep an eye on me in this room. After I have prepared enough, we go out and hunt the crow. Then we'll be back. You don't have to go out."

After some thought, Mady nodded and sat down and continued to work on bodybuilding technique. Piper also worked on bodybuilding technique, but unnoticedly, she drank one of the potions and felt her body burn. After a while, her muscles started to develop rapidly.

It had been three weeks since they settled in the hotel. After Piper finished her physical enhancement pills, she had become very strong and achieved her goal. She opened 21 acu points using the acupuncture opening potions in the last five days. In addition, her intelligence developed in 3 weeks with the mind development technique. *(1)* *(2)*

Piper could not give Mady the pills or potions she bought. Because Mady did not have an energy generation method. She did not want to give her, knowing that body enhancement potions are also very valuable.

Two days later, the hotel attendant came to inform them "You have to leave tomorrow, if you don't make a new payment"

Piper immediately began to open acupuncture points. It reached 33 points a day later. *(3)*

The day had just been brightened when they left the hotel. Movement had already begun in the streets of the town. On the way, Mady curled her lips, looking at these ordinarily dressed people that did not release energy. Piper felt very strong and very energetic. She stopped one of the villagers on the way. The man was middle-aged and had a cloth bag with agricultural tools on his back.

"Excuse me?"

"E- Yes?"

"I'm sorry I'm keeping you in your way, but I wanted to ask something. How can we find hunters in this town?"

"Ah- Aammm- So you are a hunter. You look just like a warrior. I thought you came from the capital."

"Should we not come from the capital to ask where the hunters are?"

"Aaa- no, I didn't mean that." The villager shivered a little, noticing that he was talking a little too much. Warriors could be really dangerous sometimes. Seeing the man swallow, Mady sulked. Mady thought the man was thinking completely different things.

*(1)* [Piper Physical Power: 8.25 Agility: 8.25 Intelligence: 2.6]

*(2)* [Physical points were 1.5 before the mission, while on duty, she gained 1.5 points with physical enhancement pills. Before and after, she opened 21 acupoints and increased her physical strength by 5.25 points. Bodybuilding technique wouldn't work anymore. So, the expert deceived herself about this bodybuilding method. While her intelligence score was 1.3, she gained 1.0 when she reached the gathering-energy level. It was 2.6 with the mind development method.]

*(3)* [Piper Physical Power: 11.25 Agility: 11.25 Intelligence: 2.6]
