Jerry awoke at 2:30 AM on the Saturday, and decided to go get water. After getting a glass of cold water, he just couldn't go back to sleep. So he turned on his expensive gaming computer, and saw that Quast was still online. They got in a call soon after.
"2 AM, I am suffering greatly." Jerry said quietly, since it was early in the morning.
"Ayy, look on the bright side, it's Saturday. Anyways, I'm gonna go to bed pretty soon." Quast responded
"There is no bright side." Jerry answered in an ironic way. "Yeah I'll also try going to bed again."
"By the way, the first geode has already spawned, and the second one is on its way." Quast reminded his friend.
"Yeah, I noticed the notification on my interface when I opened it, after I woke up." Jerry answered, and opened his personal interface to see that he hadn't closed it. "I will go check it out now."
"This is off-topic, but I think this is the shortest call we've ever had." Quast said, and Jerry ended the call.
The notification was overlaying his personal statistics.
[A shiny geode has spawned somewhere within 100m at 9:30 PM]
Jerry then promptly thought of closing the notification, and it dissapeared. "Now.. how should I go about searching for it?" he thought, and stood up from his chair, quietly, he roamed around the place until he reached the closed kitchen door.
Inside the kitchen, and inside of the sink, there lied a pretty spherical geode, with light particles coming off of it. Jerry took it to his room, and sat on the bed.
[Man, I'm so lucky.] Jerry opened the chat.
[Woah did you find it?] Quast asked.
[Yeah in the kitchen.] Jerry replied.
[Cool.]
After closing the chat, the one who found the geode summoned the geologist's hammer, and took a good look at it. "Which part of the hammer should I use? The pick-like side or the normal hammer side?" Jerry thought. He decided to try out both sides starting with the pick side. He gave the geode a good whack while it was in his hand.
The shiny geode opened beautifully, and the crystals on the inside shined gracefully. The entire thing dissapeared from the hand of the one who held it shortly after.
[Inside of the shiny geode resided a : Crystal Slime]
The gleaming purple mass with different types of reflecting crystals protruding from its body, and a core in the middle, appeared in the corner of Jerry's relatively large room. "No way.." he couldn't believe that enemy was inside his house. The Harnessing Sword was summoned immediately, but Jerry didn't give it any mana to activate the sub skill, nor did he use Slash, and putting fire magic on it was out of the question, because he was afraid that something in his home might break if he did any of those stuff.
The little purple slime jumped toward Jerry, and he prepared to defeat it. The colourless crystals on the slime's back turned a dark purple, little pieces of crystals shot out from them, and towards Jerry. None of the pieces hit him, but all of them got stuck inside the wall, thankfully they were small so the places where they hit in the wall weren't that visible. The slime was defeated a few seconds after, and Jerry allowed himself to relax.
On the ground where it was defeated, the Crystal Slime dropped a little purple crystal. 3 centimeters in height, and 1 centimeter in width, it was really a tiny crystal.
[You have obtained a : Crystalus(Uncommon)]
[Crystalus is the name of the special purple crystal that is rarely found in caves, slimes that live in those caves consume it, therefore producing it, and dropping them after defeat, thus it is a lot more common. It can be sold in the shop, or used for some things.]
"Yay, some more lore." Jerry read the text, and put the crystal in the Items tab. "That was stressful though, I kinda wanna go to bed now." the person that still had the Harnessing Sword in hand thought to himself, and went to lie in his bed. "Oh yeah, I have school work to do." he told himself, and almost instantly fell asleep.
At 9:12 AM in the morning, Jerry woke up, and went to the bathroom. After that he remembered that another geode had spawned by now so he looked all throughout the apartament, but didn't find anything. His parents were having a coffee somewhere in the center of the city with a friend of theirs, so he was all alone for a few hours. He looked through the kitchen window to the outside where under a bench, the shiny geode resided, as evident by its particles. He went behind a building near his apartament where no one could see him, and opened the geode with the pick-side of the hammer.
[Inside of the shiny geode were : 150 Coins]
"Well, that's cool." Jerry now had a total of 490 Coins, and went back home. He summoned the Harnessing Sword while sitting on his bed. By now he had cut, and tried cutting a lot of things with his previous Metal Sword, but he hadn't really tested the sharp edge of the new sword on common day commodities.
"Should I go buy a watermelon to test the sharpness of this thing on it?" Jerry thought. "I mean, I've tried a watermelon on the Metal Sword, and it was cut pretty easily, but this bad boy looks much sharper." he also thought to himself. "Fuck it, I'm buying a watermelon." he looked all throughout his belongings, and was lucky enough to find a 10 dollar bill. It was some change from buying groceries some time ago that he forgot to give back to his parents, and he himself even forgot about it. He ran to the store, and arrived there very fast.
Back behind the building where no one could see him Jerry put the watermelon on a log that he had found nearby. Just like with the Metal Sword, he was now testing his new Harnessing Sword on a watermelon. With a swift cut the watermelon was sliced exactly in half through the middle, like a butter knife going through butter that was rested in room temperature for a few hours.
"Damn this thing is sharp, definitely sharper than the Metal Sword." Jerry looked at the watermelon that was cut in half. "I don't wanna waste fruit, but I'm not really hungry." so he did the next logical step, and put it in the Items tab, it only took 1 spot out of the 3 available in the tab, even when it was in two seperate pieces. He then placed a plastic water bottle filled to the brim with tap water from his home on the log, and cut it from a bit down the right side of the cap down perpendicularly. The cut was incredibly smooth, and perfect. Jerry took the plastic bottle that still had most of its water in it, he emptied the water on some dry plants near him, and threw the bottle in the yellow trash bin outside.
Back in his bedroom once again, he looked at his sharp sword, and thought about his dream to wield a sword as a kid, and how he had accomplished that dream, he had a real weapon now. Of course the Harnessing Sword was put back in the Gear tab soon after. After that Jerry changed his shirt because it had some water and watermelon juice on it. Then he sat down, and turned on his computer.
