Frank looked at the status and as much as he saw a slight change on the display he agreed there was still a lot that needed to be done. He particularly didn't like the remarks!
Quickly he ran the 100 metres as directed and turned into the path that led through the forest. His senses were high as he started penetrating deep into the forest.
"Just 600 metres and I would be out!" he told himself. Suddenly a sound in his mind almost made him jump up.
[2 Adult monkeys mating ahead. Kill both of them to get 2 points of physical strength. Use a special technique to gain 1 intelligent point]
Mating! What the hell? Frank almost laughed out loudly. He restrained himself and began thinking of how he was going to kill the monkeys. Two of them required a surprise attack because monkeys are agile creatures and they could easily escape or launch an attack on him. He looked around for anything he could use.
Make a spear or a club? He wondered. Moving some steps back he checked out all the nearby trees and bushes to see any that could suit him at the moment. He found one type of the climber vines that grew around dense forests and used other trees to climb to the too in search of sunlight. After much struggle he pulled a number of vines free from a huge trunk. He joined them and made a sort of a rope from them with a look at the end. The loop was adjustable. Then he broke off a think branch from a tree and removed all its leaves. Slowly he returned to where he had been earlier.
As stealthily as possible, he sneaked to where the monkeys were. True to the AI's notification the male was busy on his wife thrusting from the back. Scanning where he was, he tied one end of the vine to a tree trunk near the place where the monkeys were and held in his hand the end with the loop.
The monkeys made a lot of loud noises and couldn't tell of his presence. He could tell the male was about to release his shot from the loud wails he made. Frank quickly threw the loop of vines around its neck and lifted up the club made from the thick branch.
The male had closed its eyes and didn't realize what had fallen on its neck. By the time it was releasing the club had landed on the head of its mate. The female monkey fell face flat seemingly unconscious while the male jumped up dazed. Frank quickly retreated and the monkey got a clear picture of its attacker. He looked at the vine on its neck and charged forward to Frank. Frank ran into the woods pulling with him the male. Then he suddenly made a detour around the trees for several metres. The male monkey was trapped by its neck and he struggled to get free. Frank did now want to loose even a second as he turned with his club and landed several severe heats on the male monkey until it could not move again.
[Monster killed]
[Primary 1 evolver shorthair monkey killed]
He rushed panting to the place where the female was lying. It was still on the ground but could see that it was still live. He landed several more blows on the monkey until he heard same notifications ringing into his mind. But what caught his attention was the amount of credit points he received.

The system said among other gains made. He had made It! It was not so difficult! Frank smiled and sprinted the rest of metres out of the forest. He came to the open space mentioned.
"Zu Shi, how many points do I need to hire falcon8?"
[75 credit points per kilometre, you have 210 credit points enough to cover 2.8 kilometres. Do you wish to summon Falcon8?]
"Summon!" he called and waited. Anxiously looking back into the forest which was 50 metres behind him. Luckily the falcon8 arrived almost immediately.
A bird- shaped aircraft like vehicle landed in front of him with little noise as possible. It was like a brand New vehicle that is well maintained and customized to reduce noise level.
[DESTINATION?]
"Am, my residence!" Frank stammered not knowing where he really lived now that he was in a new era. He believed everything had changed. He even didn't know whom he lived with.
A blue bar rose in front of him and scanned him. Just in front of the seat he occupied was a screen which suddenly displayed all his details as the scanner ran through his body!
