Chapter 64 - Chapter 4: Progress Report

After toiling the fields for medical flowers I decided to count what I have done so far. If I found any wolves or boars I slaughtered them of course. My main focus shifted. I thought that I might get lucky and get a skill that gives me better detection. Wishful thinking but for some reason wolves and boars are hard to find. I am not sure how many demonic beasts I killed. I lost count.

Why don't I do a check to see what all I have? I looked around to make sure no one or nothing was near me. I couldn't feel any dangerous animals so I said status out loud. Not very loudly but I did speak louder than I wanted to. I wanted to whisper it. For some reason, I just said it aloud.

Sin Points: 54000

I click on the plus and it tells me how to upgrade weapons. Ok good to know my skill is still updating. It changed to be shortened and if I click on a skill it tells me the description. Don't need to constantly see a block of text. I also see that my stats have gone up significantly. Significantly at least in my eyes.

If you compare it to my brothers and sisters who get 100 status points a week. What I have more of than my brothers and sisters is skills. Or in this case, a way to get more skills somewhat easily. Getting skills from lust is expensive, but I can get a lot of skills that way. For most people, they can get skills from killing monsters.

Killing monsters and getting skills from them still takes a lot of time. For me, if I have the capital and the sex drive I can get skills. What a great life I live.

I clicked on my demon blade skill to see how much further I have to go until it gets upgraded. I have killed 15 boars and 26 wolves. Ugh, so many to kill before my clay sword hopefully becomes stronger. I wish it didn't go from wood to clay. Clay is technically weaker but this skill says the opposite. Some evolution that is.

I also count 44 medical flowers. I have enough to get complete the quest twice. It is one of those unlimited quests that can be done as many times as you want. What I have to do now is kill more demonic beasts. Since I got here I only killed 2 more boar. I need to kill 10.

The same with wolves I only killed three more wolves. I collected the pieces for the boar and wolves but I need to get 10 total per demonic beasts. Most people think they could lie but the guild has strict rules.

For boars, I need the front left leg. For wolves, I need to collect their tails. I could try to get the back left leg and say it is a front leg, but the receptionists at the guild. They know what a front and back leg look like even if it is mangled up.

I don't want my source of income to get ruined because I become desperate. I finished my counting and I packed everything up. I put my bags on me and started to walk. Ah, the hell did I get tripped on? I turned around to see a sad sight.

A Dead adventurer. What a cruel world. Let's see if he has identification on him. And some money. Most people would feel bad to take from a dead body, but hey I don't like wasting resources.

Sorry dead body but if I can use your gear. I might as well use it. Your haste made waste. Except I won't let it get rust, rotten, or depreciate. I see an identification. Ivan Flad. Must have been a refugee of some kind. Or maybe he moved here, can't say for sure. I do know for sure that isn't a common name in Decomia.

No, wait a minute! It can't be! This has to be an F-ranked pill. No, it is I know what they look like. I need to take this. It is not a poison. I can tell because I took these pills before.
