The sound of coins at the table could be heard as Lora said "So here's a total of 5 Berrus" and look to Arpada.
"So two wild kins are equivalent to 1 berrus?" Arpada asked.
"Yep, quests are graded base on their difficulty– so as wild kins are not that rare in this place. They are graded as E quest and so the reward." Lora explained.
Arpada realize how hard could it be as a low grade adventurer so he asked "Then how Tyson's party had a lot of coins?"
"Tyson and his party is a strong adventurer, they are now B grade adventurer and also his party had a good line up to begin with. Tyson himself is a swordsman that specialize in agility and strength, he also achieve the title of "Wind Cutter" after slaying a crystalize serpent. Helson specializing on strength use a shield and knuckle, he is in fault for creating a massive crater at the south after smashing a general goblin leaving it undistinguishable." Lora explained.
"How about Lita?" Arpada asked.
"Lita recently joined the party and has unknown record, but Tyson said that she joined after a group of woman elf saved by him. I just only know that she equiping a bow and known some magic." She said.
After knowing their strength, he recalls that Tyson's party got injured recently and thought that they encounter some powerful beast because their achievements are undeniably extraordinary.
"Take care Arpada and always let me know if you have something to talk about or ask about." Lora said.
"Sure." Arpada said and immediately went outside the guild.
Arpada saw a busy street, a sound of different people talking could be heard from different direction and the noise coming from the carts being dragged by giant bird beast.
"I need to find a quiet place to stay in and start making the potions." He said.
He went to the armor shop to ask some place and after getting a directions from Norus he ended up standing at the house where Tyson party are staying.
As soon he went in, the lady recognize him and asked" You're with Tyson earlier, right?" Are you inquiring a room?"
"Yes and how much are the rooms?" Arpada asked.
"It depends on your reference, I have a spacious room upstairs. It is after Tyson's room." She said.
"Then I will just get that one." He said.
"Good thing, that place just got clean." She said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sandra and owner of this boarding house. Sandra added.
"I'm Arpada." He said.
"You looks young and about the same age of my daughter." She said.
"Mama!" A young girl suddenly showed up at the door, she is small and had an innocent look.
"When I will get awaken?" She asked.
"Oh dear, you just got 9, Liza. It will take a year before your awakening." Sandra said.
Liza got depressed after hearing it and said "Then I will train myself to become stronger earlier.", she added.
"Here is your key, sorry for getting distracted by my daughter." Sandra said.
Arpada get the key and went to his room. "It is really spacious." He said.
Then, he started setting up the equipments for his potion making at the room and after a minutes he finished, looking proud about it.
"Luckily I still have a ton of herbs " he said.
Gluttony changed to his slime appearance and release a hundred of herbs.
"I will make a ton of potions today." Arpada said.
***
After making at least 50 potions, he got drained and went to the bed to take a rest, he then remembers the book he bought from the store.
"What if I research with this book? I might have some rare plants that I collected before." He said and flips to the page where the images of plants can be seen.
He then saw an illustration of plant that seems familiar he with.
"This is Cela's favorite flower" He said.
'Boing'
Gluttony approach Arpada and pulls out the flower he just saw.
"When did you get this?" Arpada asked.
'Boing~ Boing'
"After killing the goblin?" Then Arpada remembers that Gluttony independently absorbs random plants they walk by and then an exprience point added randomly to Gluttony's exp.
He reads the description on the book while holding the flower.
This yellow flower with a correct extracting method could turn into an exp potion buff but there are bizzare side effects–
"This is insane! An exp potion buff?" Arpada got excited and reads the method.
You need to grind the yellow petals of the flower and it will eventually release a yellow liquid, collect the liquid then dropped some of your blood into it before mixing. When it turns into an orange liquid, process it through distillation method to remove the unnecessary components on it and increase the purity of the potion.
Arpada follows the steps and acquire a golden liquid potion called exp potion buff.
'Boing?' Gluttony is seems to be curious about Arpada's actions.
He clear his throat and looks at the potion one again then he drinks it.
A disgust in his face wears on. "It's so bitter" he said while sticking his tongue out.
Suddenly he felt a tremendous pain in his head and his body heating up, causing him to sweat and to fall down.
"What is this?" He said and then he feels like his body is about to explode while her balance are disoriented.
"I forgot the last part of the description... this is the side effect?" He said while slowly losing his vision and then his consciousness.
Arpada grasps his breath as he quickly sits on ground, founding himself in a forest.
"Tik Tik Tik"
An unknown sound coming from the bush caught his attention and nervously curious about it, then he saw a red eyes fiercingly looking at him and without hesitation– he instinctively run away from it.
A loud roar vibrates the sorroundings and he saw the unknown creature– a four-legged creature with a dark-red claws leaping through the branches of trees pursuits him, it has a white mane and a long-thin tail with a purple fire at the end.
With a blink of an eye, Arpada got pinned down by the creature and saw clearly a terrifying appearance of it then his skull crushed by its sharped-teeth and died instantly after his head shear off.
He wakes up again– grasp his breath and gulp his saliva. "What the hell just happened!?" He said while checking his head and neck. "I surely died, I got eaten by that terrifying thing. I didn't even realize I died." He added.
A window appeared in front of him and reads the context.
[ You have received an additional exp points ]
[ You gained 1 level ]
[ You gained 1 level ]
Arpada was shocked and said "I got 2 levels from it?".
He is still confuse and brushing his head over it while checking his status.
[Lvl:5]
"I really gained 2 levels from it" he said. "But that is still insane" he added and remember the last part of information on the book.
This yellow flower with a correct extracting method could turn into an exp potion buff but there are bizzare side effect– you will experience death or growth in an unknown world, even I could not keep my sanity after experiencing it once and traumatize by it... That's why I called it "Flower of Insanity".
Then a new window appeared.
[ You unlocked a new class skill "Tamer's skill slots" ]
