Holy shit! One hundred XP for a single monster?!? Because of the last fight, my job is leveled up. I look at my skill and see a new skill.

Eagle's Eye| |Buff| |Level 1| |10 MP| |310s cooldown|

Give 10% Critical Chance to the user even though He/She did not hit the enemy weak point|

{Duration: 300s}

This time it was a buff skill. Not the best, but if I can increase this skill and increase the Critical Chance, this will be a great skill to have.

"Tanaka-kun!"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear Akagawa-san's voice coming from my back. I look at my back and see her running toward me, followed by her bodyguard.

"Hello, Akagawa-san"

"Please call me, Yuka. You are our savior, after all."

"Yuka-san then. What do you want to do with the corpse?"

"We will harvest it. That is the reason we come to talk to you. You are the one dealing the last blow. Not only that, but you are also the one that has the most contribution to this fight. You risk your life to be the Vanguard even though you are an archer. Not only that, if not for your attack, we cannot deal enough damage to the Youkai."

"When you said it like that…."

I mean, I already get a reward from the system. I did not think I would get another reward.

"I don't really mind. Sadly I don't really need the material from the Youkai. If you can sell it and give me my share of the money, that will be great."

"Yes! Please leave it to me! In the name of the Akagawa family, I promise you that I will give you your share of the money."

"Good. Now, if there is nothing else, I need to prepare dinner for myself."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akagawa Yuka POV|

I look at the back of Tanaka-kun, who walks away from the alley where we defeat the Jorogumo. While Tanaka-kun said that the money from selling the material is enough for him, I feel that it was not enough.

If it were other people, they would demand a higher compensation like nobility or even a powerful artifact.

But Tanaka-kun did not do that. He did not demand an outrageous compensation for rescuing the Heiress to the Akagawa family. While the Akagawa family is not as big as the family in Kyoto, we are still a family that can grant someone a lower rank nobility.

However, Tanaka-kun did not ask for it.

"Yuka-sama. What should we do now?"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear one of my companions ask me a question.

"We will begin the harvesting. Two of you, harvest the Jorogumo's thread. The rest of you come with me and help me harvest the Jorogumo body."

"Yes, Yuka-sama!"

~Five hours later~

The process takes five hours of careful work. We successfully harvest all the body parts of the Jorogumo and harvest the Jorogumo's thread.

By the look of it, there is about a hundred or so kilograms worth of Jorogumo thread. That thread alone is worth more than two million yen. However, it was not the most expensive part of Jorogumo. The most expensive one is the fang, legs, armor, and the mana core of the Jorogumo.

That core alone is worth more than one billion yen. There is also the other part of the Jorogumo. People can use its leg to create a weapon, mostly a spear. It's a fang for a dagger. Its armor/outer skin is used to make armor. A potion master can use even its poison sack inside its body to make a potion.

"How long until father arrives here?"

"They should arrive in ten minutes."

"Good. Make sure to repair this alley before father arrives."

"Of course, Yuka-sama."

"Also, I need three of you to check the area. We don't want another Youkai roaming around in this city after we take care of this one."

"Understood!"

While there are so many questions I want to ask Tanaka-kun, I need to take care of this problem for now. Maybe next Monday I can ask him the question I want to ask.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I release a sigh as I sit down on the couch inside my house. I open up my shop section and see that I have more than one hundred thousand ST and five Basic Gacha Token. I press the gacha option and see that I can choose the 5-spin gacha.

I press the 5-spin gacha and see a slot machine icon that starts to spin. After a few seconds, it stopped, and I could see five cards appear on the screen.

Congratulations for completing a hidden quest!|

Hidden Quest: Gacha!|

{Reward: 50.000 ST}

Huh, neat. However, I don't really care about it for now. I pressed the first card.

Drawing| |Passive| |Level: Max|

Give the user knowledge on how to draw anything. This skill also gives the user every drawing technique from all eras. At this level, you can draw the most beautiful painting|

ARGHHHH! What the hell?!? I clutch my head in pain. I can feel a stream of knowledge coming inside my head. From the knowledge of an ancient drawing. It was so ancient. It was the drawing technique from the Stone Age.

However, all of them are normal drawing techniques. There is no drawing technique like in the Xianxia novel.

There is no drawing technique that makes the painting move. There is, however, a technique that makes an optic illusion like a drawing that looks at you even when you are moving. While it was not the most useful skill for me, it was a good skill nonetheless.

After the pain is gone, I press the second card.

Hydra Dagger| |Unique|

A poisoned blade with a coating of venom extracted from an infant hydra.|

{Damage: 150 base damage + (100% of STR)}

{Effect: Inflict a poison damage effect to the enemy. Deal 120 poison damage per second for 20 seconds. It can be stacked 20 times.}

{Effect: Decrease the enemy Max HP by 700 when the stack reached 3. Decrease the enemy Max HP by 1200 when the stack reach 5}

That is an excellent dagger. That effect is really top-notch. 1200 damage per second for 20 seconds. That is huge damage. Even the Jorogumo I fought earlier will be dead in a few seconds.

The second effect is also something outstanding. Decreasing max HP is something perfect when I fight against an enemy with high HP.

Elixir of Life| |Unique|

A potion created by the sage of the world. A potion that was created using the most potent ingredient. A potion that can defy death itself|

{Effect: Restore 100% HP, and MP. Restore the drinker body to its perfect state. Remove any debuff}

{Effect: Increase the drinker stats by 200% for one hour}

{Effect: Give the drinker 'Undying' Buff for one hour}

{Undying Buff: The HP cannot decrease beyond 100}

Another good item. Even better than the dagger, in my opinion. This one can save my life. Literary.

That Undying buff is excellent. That buff alone let me fight any monster without worrying about getting killed. Sadly I can only use it once. If only I get two more than one potion. That would be grand.

Cooking| |Passive| |Level: Max|

Give the user knowledge of how to cook delicious food. From cooking techniques to how to choose a perfect ingredient, you know it all. At this level, your cooked meal will make anyone eating it have an orgasm|

Seeing the next skill, I widen my eyes before suddenly I feel a stabbing pain in my head. The pain is greater than the one I got from the Drawing Skill. After a few seconds of thrashing around on the ground because of the pain, I get up from the floor and sit down on the couch once more.

The knowledge I got is bigger than the one I got from the drawing skill. This skill gave me a technique of cooking from the prehistoric era to this era. However, all the technique from there is rather useless because all of them are only a simple roast technique.

Anyway, I press the last card.

Ley Line| |Unique|

A portable ley line can be used to be a portable source of natural magic|

{Effect: A portable Ley Line}

That's it? I don't know how valuable a Ley Line is, but by looking at the classification of this card, I know that it was precious. A unique item is really good after all, look at the Elixir of Life, and you will know the answer.

Five of those items then appear inside my inventory. The first one I take out is the Hydra Dagger. The dagger itself is nothing special. It looks like a military-grade tactical dagger. However, what makes it unique is the color.

It has a deep purple color. Not only that, but it also releases a purple aura around it. It also gives a feeling of dread.

I take the Elixir of Life next. The elixir is different from the picture. Instead of inside a bottle, the elixir is inside a vial, not a bottle. The content of the vial is not interesting. It was only a transparent liquid, nothing suggesting that this vial contained something important.

Lastly, it was a black ball. This black ball is heavy. Maybe around fifty kilograms. While it looks like an ordinary black ball on the outside, I can feel a massive amount of mana coming from the ball. The mana is so massive it may reach two million WIS if I compared it to the stats.

Anyway, I put all of the items inside my inventory and got up from the couch. I need to test my new skill.
