Volume 1 - CH 9

…I’ll check out what the skill can do tomorrow. First, I synthesized all the overlapping skills, then I checked my status.

My basic status went up quite a bit. But I guess the bronze skills from the gacha are really a miss. Even when they level up, they don’t change anything. I haven’t had a hard time fighting against monsters lately. Well, until I find new monsters to fight, I really only have to fight for the sake of food.

My basic status is around there. Next up I checked my skills.

I’ve made quite the collection. I guess I’ve gotten all the basic status enhancement bronze skills.

I have no idea how many silver skills there are. I wonder how it is for the magic skills too. The four basic skills should be all of them.

That’s why I’d like to say that’s all of them. But there are actually a lot more types of magic out there. There’s enhancement magic and summoning magic as well.

As to whether those are in the gacha, I’ll see next time.

Next up, I seem to have gathered all the rainbow skills unexpectedly fast. That’s likely because the eleven-time gacha probably guarantees at least one comes out. Now it’s just necessary to level those skills up.

Looking at the doctor skill, it seems that I could make any type of potion with level one. However, the quality of those potions will go up according to the skill level.

Thinking about my future life here, I’d really like to raise the level of the doctor skill to some extent by any means necessary.

I’ve collected all these skills so far. Now would be a good time to move on to a new base.

Honestly, I’ve already looked through everything in this area. Alright, it’s decided. I’ll set out tomorrow to find new foods, as well as new monsters.

During my travels I’ll also test out my skills. Especially in regard to potions since those will be indispensable for the future. I’ve spotted medicinal herbs here and there, but they certainly don’t appear in infinite numbers.

That’s why I’ll need to try replicating them with cultivation skill later. …potions huh. Once I make a potion, I’ll probably also need a container to store it in.

As expected, it would be too much to hope for a glass bottle. That’s also a problem for later. It seems that I can make basic living necessities with the blacksmithing skill.

If I got some wood together, I could make some plates and cutlery. I’ll have to get those first before I can make potions. With these thoughts going through my head, I began to get sleepy. After digging up some dirt to use as a toilet as usual, I went to bed.

Morning. After eating some fruit, I set out from my base. I started moving while carrying an armful of fruits.

I had some seeds that I’d washed in my pocket, so I’d be able to cultivate them at my new location. 3 seeds should multiply enough for my needs.

I wondered if there was any problem storing them like that, but appraisal and cultivation came back that there was no problem. I moved on into an area I hadn’t been to yet.

I went in the direction of those unknown fruits I’d found before. I took a look at the fruits with the appraisal skill.

A citrus fruit. I grabbed one of the head sized fruits and peeled off its skin. Sweetness spread throughout my whole mouth when I took a bite of it. It was slightly sour, but over all it was also tasty.

It had some seeds in it, so I took one of them and put it in the same pocket as the others. I’d given this area a superficial look. However, in order to get farther from my previous base, I put off any rigorous investigation for later.

… but I did come out here with the intention of finding a new base. I wonder how far I should go. This was pretty far away from the river, but I could still get water from water magic. I touched the side of a fallen tree and activated my blacksmithing technique skill, turning it into a wooden flask.

I was really only relying on an image in my head for it, but it somehow turned out well. As long as I put some water in it, I can drink any time. Eventually I intend to fill it with potion.

As a test, I filled it with water and brought it to my mouth. Ah- delicious. Thanks to water magic I could quench my thirst with some nicely chilled water. I thought it would taste strongly of tree, but that wasn’t the case.

Perhaps that’s thanks to the blacksmithing skill?

I’d discovered some medicinal herbs on the way over here. It was called ‘chuchu grass.’ It seems I can grow it with cultivation by planting its roots into the ground. I put one of them into my pocket so I could plant it at my new base.

Additionally, in order to get myself a potion I prepared them for processing. It seems I can make one with just chuchu grass and magic water. Since magic water is just water containing magic power, water magic would suffice. I prepared two of them and tried making them into potions right away.

Done. There was now potion in my flask. I took a sip of it as a test. Eh!? I could feel the fatigue leaving my body.

Also, it tasted great. I’d drank a potion a long time ago, but this was totally different. It seems that doctor is quite the good skill. With this, it seems like I’d be fine in battle as long as I don’t die.

After I started moving once more, I discovered a new monster.

According to appraisal it was a hobgoblin. It’s the same type of monster as a goblin, but of a higher rank. Would I get points if I killed it? I was a bit worried about that, but I really didn’t have any other choice.

It’s all for the sake of points after all.
