They went toward the kitchen and quickly set up the table. They brought the food and started to eat while talking. It was like they are giving suggestions. Alex listened to everything and had some ideas on his own. After breakfast, the couple went outside and he headed toward the waterfall picking up some herbal medicine on the way. As soon as he identified the medicinal herb, he will quickly toss it into his SPACE as it is still capable to store things.
He reached the waterfall and took off his clothes. He jumped into the weakest waterfall and found it easy and moved to the other one. He had improved much more and found out that he was much more stronger than yesterday. He could endure a bigger waterfall but could not do all the waterfall. He tried the same technique and started to train like yesterday. There was a success and he was happy about it. He wanted to do something today so he stopped earlier than yesterday.
He went a little different path than the safe path which was given by Maris and picked up more medicinal plants. He was happy to find out more medicinal plants so he would jump and pick them up as fast as he could. He was not in alert mode at all, so he did not see an animal staring from the distance. When he got nearer and nearer, the animal charged at him at its full speed. He heard the commotion looked around and found a big boar charging toward him. His eyes widened and thought of the solution.
"Ahh… fuck. Let's run.", he could not think of a better idea and started running while shouting. But the boar was faster and kept chasing him. He thought he was going to die. He did not have any weapon or protection too. I thought of many scenarios but none of those seems feasible.
"Ahh… god damn.", he shouted while running. He clenched his fist as it came nearer.
"Motherfucker …. Die.", he punched as hard as he could towards the boar turning towards it.
"BOOM", the sound came out after the impact. The head of the boar was punched and the face was punctured. The bear was dead but the momentum and blood hit him and he was full of blood. He was pushed farther away by the boar's body and landed on the ground. He huffed and puffed.
"Ahh… that hurts.", Alex slowly got up as his body was aching with the impact. He looked at the boar and got shocked. He killed a big boar with his bare hand and he was not dead. He was covered in blood so he quickly picked up the boar, tossed it inside the SPACE, and run. He quickly found the river stream and washed. He checked the system message at the same time.
[Ding] "Hidden mission completed."
Mission>> Kill your first fierce beast.
[Ding] "Distributing rewards: System's punching Art (Auto upgradable), System's escaping Art (Auto upgradable), Yellow rank 1st tier sword (1), 1 million gold coins
He looked at the message and was dumbfounded. He did not believe that the system gave him what he needed the most but was confused at the same time.
Alex: What is the System's Art and Auto upgradable mean?
System: These arts are provided by a system, which is the best wherever you go, which brings most of the user potential, and the Auto upgradable means the proficiency or the power of the art will increase with the host.
Alex: Ahh… that is good. Why the gold coins though?
System: The current world currency is copper, silver, gold coins, low-grade spirit stone, and mid-grade spirit stones. The rate is 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 1,000 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 1,000,000 gold coins = 1 low grade spirit stone, 1,000 low grade spirit stone = 1 mid-grade spirit stone.
Alex: Got it. What about Yellow rank 1st tier?
System: Artifacts, pills, Arrays, etc. are divided into Yellow, Profound, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, etc. in ascending order and each of them is divided into 1st to 9th tier in ascending order according to properties and power, in this place.
"Ahh… then that means the sword is almost crap quality. It's better than nothing.", Alex took out the sword and caressed it. He immediately absorbed the Arts given by the system. All the information poured into his mind and he felt enlightened. Waving his sword, he ran towards the couple's place. There was nobody at that time so he took out the boar and stared at it. He thought of something for a second.
