"Ah, just don't die. Here, take this pouch for the slime cores and this sack for the monster corpses," Aema said, handing Bob a small pouch and a large sack.
"Finally, now get lost," mumbled an adventurer behind Bob.
Bob left the Adventurers' Guild with a plan forming in his mind. He would complete the quest but wouldn't bring anything back right away. Instead, he'd kill as many monsters as possible in the dungeon and store their corpses in his inventory, where they wouldn't decay. He'd then bring them to the Adventurers' Guild gradually, ensuring it looked like he was steadily growing stronger. The only downside was that he wouldn't earn any stripes if he didn't consume any monsters.
He could spend all his time in the dungeon, gaining a significant amount of XP. He just needed to ensure no one saw him there too often. Deciding on his course of action, Bob focused on leveling up his Inventory skill.
[Inventory lvl: 1 -> level 2]
