They spent the whole day together learning how to cultivate. Of course they didn't try to do it in real life, but Allan kept teaching them all the methods he knew of and his experience when cultivating. He wanted his friends to become stronger faster so he shared his experience with them so that they don't waste time making the same mistakes he did.
"Hey everyone. I made a map and somewhat a route for how we can meet up in game. Check your phones, I sent you a copy of the map I recorded in game. Now it's only a matter of whenever it's convenient for us to meet up. Luckily we started all in the same kingdom." Jasper said.
"Nice, you really saved us a lot of time." Keith said.
"Yeah, good job." Allan said. "By the way, with the part of cultivation resolved. I had an idea yesterday, to help us improve in martial arts. You know how hard it is to practice with real weapons. So I thought we could practice with foam weapons. This way we don't have to wear protective gear and we won't hurt ourselves. What do you guys think?"
"I think its good for practicing the skills, but we have to do it for real once in a while so we can have the full experience about what is to use weapons." Keith said.
"Nice we can start tomorrow. I have already made six swords, one for each of us. But I can also make other weapons if you guys like?" Allan said.
"Sure, let's do it like that. I would like a spear though." Said Jasper. "Leave it to me. I can make it on my own."
"I'd like a whip, but I think it will hurt even if it's made out of foam." Said Sheila.
"But I also think we should all learn more than just one type of weapon. In that game we are bottom feeders, so having knowledge about more than just one type of weapons can be key to survival. We can all start by learning sword since it seems it's most common in that world." Keith said. He and Sasha were the only ones with actual martial arts experience, so the others could only nod.
"Since I already have some levels. I'll start making my way to the the person next to me today. You guys can focus on cultivating and getting some levels. I think it's gonna take a couple of days anyway to reach the next location. So for today you guys can cultivate for tomorrow we can start making pairs and then we will try to meet up all of us next." Allan said.
That day was a long day. They all started learning about cultivation. But without having the actual experience, they could only try to guess how to do it, which made Allan have to explain most of the mistakes he made as well how to overcome them.
Soon night had arrived and Allan and Tory found themselves at home again. Allan felt exhausted today, he spent too much time teaching the others, so he was mentally drained. But the good thing is that the game console served even better than sleeping, so he knew he would be up to the most optimal condition tomorrow.
Game started once again. This time Allan arrived right where he left before. He left his save chamber where he had been cultivating and arrived where he had fallen together with the boar. He knew he would have to climb out from there if he wanted to get out alive. But now he was much stronger. His stats and cultivation aren't just for show. He manage to crawl back from where he came. By the time he was done, it was already noon.
"I have to find my way back, I don't remember much the direction where I came from. Let's go to a high place and see if I can see the village." Allan then climbed on a tall tree. With his increased strength, it was very easy in less than half a minute he was already on top. He looked on the horizon in every direction. Then he found the village he came from and started heading there. He still had unfinished business with priest Bruno and now he could repay his kindness. In his spatial bracelet there were some coins that the Crazed Monster Hunter used to travel the mortal world.
After one hour of walking, Allan finally reached his destination. He arrived at the church and found priest Bruno there.
"Welcome Allan, You've been missing for a few days. I was starting to get worried." Priest Bruno greeted.
"Thank you. I'm here to bid my farewells. Here, take this money. This is what I owe you and a bit more." Allan gave the priest 300 copper coins. "Thank you for all your help. I'll be leaving this village today to find my friends."
"Well, I guess that there is no point in trying to keep you here. I now you're unafraid of death, but take care out there."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not die. Bye."
Allan then left the church, he went to a place that sold dried food and for his travels and left the village. The village had a small road from where the merchants came. Jasper managed to have a map had the information about these routes. Thus, Allan set out in the search of his friends.
