Chapter 25

Jack taught Cyril all the proper steps, from marching to turning, and finally running.

Thankfully, Cyril was a powerful Silver Swordsman to begin with, otherwise, an ordinary person would not memorize it so quickly!

Cyril’s success once again proved the potential of this world’s people!

This made Jack much more relaxed.

If he was really taking a few days to learn, Jack would probably be annoyed to death!

After teaching Cyril, Jack left and instructed him to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible. He would make an inspection in a while.

Cyril could also sense a powerful energy emanating from these movements, as well as an improvement in his physique. As such, he was much more interested in these movements than before.

He naturally agreed.

When Jack returned to the castle, he rested.

With nothing else to do, Eugene rode off into the quiet of the night black and ran alone into the forest to begin training himself in the ways taught by the president.

As a Gold Swordsman, his observation skills were far superior to Cyril’s.

He could clearly see the changes in Cyril’s movements.

He was very interested, especially after secretly learning the President’s training method of doing push-ups.

Moreover, the battle aura that had stagnated for many days also showed signs of growing again.

Eugene stood with his legs together and shouted, “Attention!”

Then, he placed his feet together and straightened his back.

But it was not that easy. He quickly realized that something was wrong.

His body was not straight, his shoulders were uneven, and his feet hurt.

He had no choice. He was too embarrassed to ask the President to teach him. He had to practice slowly on his own.

…

It was a peaceful night, and on the next day, sun rose from the east.

Alice arrived in Jack’s room with the aromatic highland barley.

Jack, who was standing on the balcony, smelled the aroma of food and could not help but shout in joy.

Highland barley was really a very magical food ingredient.

It had the fragrance and softness of rice, but also the nutritional benefits that the rice did not have.

During this period, Jack’s barley consumption had never stopped.

Even when he was harvesting just now, it was also his primary target of attention.

He was not selfish.

This was what it meant to be in a superior position. If being in a superior position did not bring him any benefits, then why was he working so hard?

Thanks to the uninterrupted supply of barley, Jack’s strength increased very quickly. In just a few months, he arrived at the strength of an Advanced Silver Swordsman.

At the same time that his strength increased, Jack did not expect that battle aura would also have the same effect on his three Haki.

The most obvious is Armament Haki. As Jack’s battle aura level rose, Armament Haki could now cover 70% of his body at once and the strength has increased by 100%.

His physical strength had also increased by 20 times.

It could be said bluntly that even Eugene’s strength was inferior to Jack’s now.

As for the skill upgrade reward, Jack did not choose to use it.

Since there was no chance to use it for the time being, he might as well leave it for emergencies.

Alice put the food down as Jack walked over and sat down.

Looking at the food in front of him, his mood immediately improved.

Although there were not many dishes on the island, Jack still moved the dishes from his time into this world.

For example, vegetable salad, grilled chicken, and fried pork.

Although Alice did not have much talent in cooking, Jack had taught her for a long time before he barely learned these simple dishes.

But even so, it greatly solved Jack’s appetite problem.

Although the food in front of him did not look good, it was better than jerky and black bread!

Jack picked up his rice, took a piece of chicken and ate with satisfaction.

Alice, on the other hand, was lying contentedly on the table and looking at Jack. No one knew what she was thinking.

At first, Jack was still not used to it, but after failing to get her to stop this, he could not be bothered anymore.

Not long after they finished eating, Jack was about to go and see how Cyril was preparing when he suddenly received a system notification.

“Ding ~ Congratulations host, you have completed your first exploration of the island. The personal panel and advancement panel have been unlocked.”

Hearing the system’s voice, Jack was stunned.

If not for the system’s words, he would have forgotten about its existence.

However, what did this panel mean?

Jack opened it curiously.

[Name: Jack]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Level: Silver]

[Skills: Armament Haki (Beginner), Observation Haki (Beginner) Conqueror’s Haki (Beginner), and an additional skill upgrade opportunity.]

[Merit Points: 5]

[Wealth: 800 Gold, 400 Silver, 500 Bronze]

[Rare Treasure: Grade 1 Highland Barley]

Was this everything he owned now?

What were these merit points?

How did he get them?

Jack asked a few questions but the system did not answer. He was used to the system’s aloofness so there was no choice but to think of a way!

Then, Jack opened the advancement panel.

Primary skill enhancement: 1000 merit points.

Intermediate skill enhancement: 10,000 merit points.

Advanced skill enhancement: 100,000 merit points.

Peak skill enhancement: 1,000,000 merit points.

Looking at the merit points required to advance, Jack could not help but twitch his mouth.

It was really absurd.

Most importantly, Jack still did not know how to obtain merit points!

It seemed like it had nothing to do with managing the island!

That was screwed up.

There was no choice but for Jack to ignore this for now.

It was really a painful choice.

Just as Jack was complaining, Alice walked in and said, “Mr. President, Captain Snike is downstairs. He said that he cleared the canyon and found something strange.”

“Snike?” Jack started, suddenly remembering the lucky guy.

Who knew what he had found this time?

Jack was instantly interested and followed Alice downstairs.

At this time, Regiment Commander Enger, Hunter Squad Captain Snike, and Eugene were sitting downstairs. When they saw Jack arrive, everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Jack nodded and sat at the main seat as he asked, “Snike? What good news did you bring this time?”

Snike was stunned. He did not expect the president to still remember his name. He quickly stood up and patted his chest, “Mr. President, this is what I brought for you.”

After saying that, he took out a green fruit from his bag.

Jack could not help looking over. The thing was familiar, but he was not sure.

After taking it out, Snike hurriedly said, “Mr. President, we found this at the canyon in a place which faced the sun. It grows on a very tall tree.”

“What’s outside is a husk, and inside is some transparent liquid. It tastes very sweet.”

With that said, he raised his hands and displayed the item.

Eugene stepped forward and took it. When he saw that there was no danger, he handed it to the president.

Once he got his hands on the fruit, Jack immediately activated his Inspection skill.

[Name: King Coconut]

[Introduction: This is a strange fruit. It grows on a huge tree that is about 15 meters tall. It will take six months to mature, regardless of the season. The edible parts are the white flesh and transparent liquid inside. It is very beneficial to the human body. It can supplement vitamins B, C, protein, and so on.]

[Note: Burying the fruit underground can increase nearby production.]

[Upgradeable.]
