Volume 1 - CH 17

Although I said I would explore the western area, the only monsters there were wolves and slimes. My current spot was pretty stable. I was growing fruits in my garden, and I could enjoy the meat of various monsters from my surroundings.

I figured I’d give it a bit more thought before I leave this base and continue hunting monsters here for a bit. But I do want to roll the gacha some more.

More than just wanting the skills, I like how the feeling that the gacha gives me is a lot like a casino. My only forms of enjoyment are food and the gacha. Life without the gacha would be unthinkable.

That’s why I decided to go fight some honey bears so I could earn some points. They’re pretty hard to fight, but not unbeatable. With caution at the front of my mind, I continued hunting honey bears.

Perception technique was quite useful. It allowed me to comprehend the position of the honey bears. It was incredibly good that I was able to avoid any two on one fights. In the one in a million chance, I ended up fighting against two of them, I would almost certainly perish.

After taking down five of them, I was able to fight in closer range to the honey bears. After ten of them, it was no longer necessary for me to rely on my slashing attack.

After killing fifteen of them, honey bears just became points to me.

April 28th, night.  Finally, I was able to hunt twenty-five honey bears, and save up 5000 points. It was pretty tough, but now my status had grown to the level where I could fight against them head on. I realized something thanks to my choice to keep fighting against the honey bears.

In terms of point efficiency, fighting against strong opponents is pretty awful… However, in terms of raising my status, the efficiency was really good. Particularly against the first fifteen honey bears, I had a lot of really close fights. My potion consumption was really high.

Well, thanks to all that my status went up a lot. As for what my stats went up to, well, I’ll check them out after rolling the gacha.

I was a bit hesitant as I opened the gacha window. Really, I was a bit conflicted about rolling the gacha.

Pretty soon April will be over. After stewing over it for awhile I still had a single doubt about it.

…I wonder if there will be a new gacha. I took another look at the current gacha’s title.

‘April opening commemorative gacha! Is this your debut as a doctor!? Opening with three specials!’ is what it said. I mean, right after the appraisal ceremony I couldn’t see this as anything other than a provocation, and I seriously resented God for it.

This part about it being an April opening commemorative gacha. …The part that leaves it uncertain as to whether there will also be a gacha for May.

If there is going to be another gacha, then perhaps it would be good to save up some points for it. There might be better special skills in the May gacha after all.

But… there is also the possibility that this might be the last there will be a gacha. I can’t really read how it will develop.

The other reason I was hesitating whether or not to roll the gacha had to do with the specials. There might be a two in three chance that the skill will overlap. Can I get an overlap? That’s the issue right now. If not, then I’d definitely plan on rolling the gacha one more time, but…

It’s all on whether or not there will be a may gacha. For the time being I gave that some thought. I probably worried about it for about an hour.

That there were no more new monsters in the vicinity was another reason. Perhaps if I were to head further north from where the honey bears were, I’d be able to find something new but…

Yeah, what to do… Saving up 5000 points was certainly not an easy task. Perhaps if I knew what silver and gold skills I could get, then I wouldn’t be having these worries.

Right now, what I want most is a skill to make a house. If I knew that I could get that sort of skill, then I would definitely roll the gacha. But, on the flip side, what if that sort of skill was considered a rainbow tier skill?

To prepare for later, perhaps it would be best to hold onto some points. The lower world is incredibly vast, but that doesn’t mean that there are infinite monsters. Some day, the time will likely come where I’ll be unable to spin the gacha anymore. Even now it’s getting to be quite the chore to earn points.

…After all that thinking, I eventually came to a decision. I decided to roll the gacha.

I mean, rolling the gacha makes me happy.

That was the only reason I had. I opened the gacha window and touched the eleven-time gacha.

For starters… the light was golden. Nice, it didn’t upgrade itself. I don’t want any more special skills right now. My expectations are all in the other skills.

There were four bronze, three silver, three gold, and one rainbow. Well, overall a fairly average gacha. Personally though, that’s what I wanted the most.

Starting with the bronze ones.

Eh, I’m really fine with whatever from bronze. Things will be important from here on. Next up, Silver.

I don’t need spear technique! Land working technique is… well it’s alright. But rather than that, above all else the last skills had me jumping for joy. It’s finally here!! Construction technique!

With that I’ll probably be able to make things like a house! I appraised construction technique.

Yeah! This will change my life more than anything else. I’m really happy, but there is still more gacha to go through.

There are three golds. It would be nice if they could match this tune and be good.

Well, it’s that sort of thing. I was looking forward to a new skill but can’t help it turning out like that. The next gacha is quite important.

Last up is rainbow… we’ll see if it can overlap or not. I don’t know if I’ll be able to confirm that. Of course, I don’t want to get an overlap. After all, that would be completely useless…. Finally, I checked the last rainbow orb.

Ugh, so they can overlap….
