"Basic form of the devastator piercing arrow...there is a small (common) beside it too"
"sounds like it come from one of those chinese drama" Annie add just after Jenna
"Drama?" Malfoy Malfoy, my poor uncultivated malfoy
"Eh...don't worry about it" right Jenna, let us just ignore this uncultivated beast.
I rub my bloody and slimy hands on my pants, putting even more uncleaneable stains on it, perhaps I am the beast, I look more like it at least, I glance at Jenna.
Nah she does
"What is it supposed to do?"
"No idea"
Malfoy decide not to answer to what Jenna say, but I do.
"What do you mean, no idea?"
"I have no idea at all, it's just....there, in the skills"
"Can't inspect it?" Annie ask
"I tried, but it doesn't work"
Scratching my face and quickly regretting it I keep up the discussion "did you even tried to shoot your bow?"
Silence.
Barlow look at me and shake his head.
"Eh let's try it when we're back home"
"Agree, I'm fucking dead" Annie follow my suggestion and already start to leave the tent, while the bloody Jenna follow her mumbling something about how she should have thought about that already.
Wait home? Since when do I called this dumb ass place where I won a water war home?
Eh, I'm overthinking this, just easier to call it home for now, it's a safe place for now, it's all that matter.
I'm just behind them, I don't wanna sta- I stop mid stride, turn around, almost fall again, fucking bloody shoes.
Dodging balrow that was walking behind me, he looks at me, I look at him, he looks at me, I look at him
"I need teeth" He look at me.
I slide my thumb inside the cordage of the orcish necklace and pull it up, showing it off, he nod, and turn around, certainly to leave the tent
I turn around, and I barely catch a teeth thrown my way.
Damn malfoy went at it.
He's kneeling down, over the head of the goblin barlow smashed with his shield, pushing with his fingers hard, looks like the teeths are loose enough because of a certain old man that he can take them with just his hands.
Not saying thanks, cause it feel useless for some reason. I pull up the cord of the necklace and try to figure out, how can I attach a new one, I try to loop a strand around the cord...doesn't work, I try to take a teeth out to put the new one, doesn't work, I try to [do you wish to add a new teeth to your orcish necklace?]
Everything pass by the system.
Gotcha, yes I want too.
In front of my eyes, the teeth hanging between my fingers dissapear, and a quick look down reveal a pointy goblin teeth hanging on it.
Victory! I shall butcher my ennemies and take their teeth! I should really do a professional reconversion, I'm really good at butchering! Well, it's not me butchering shit yet, but-! I catch another teeth.
A warning would be nice.
Playing with the teeth, rolling it between my fingers, I wonder what changed with the necklace.
[Orcish necklace: prized possesion of orcs, more teeths, more glory! Who shall kill the more beasts! Fill this necklace with teeth to receive more and more bonus!
Current boosts:
-Small increase in max strength.
-Small increase in smell. ]
Huh really? I smell around and feel NOOOOTHING different.
Huh, this shit is really a small increase isn't it? Perhaps it will improve if I put more?
I put the teeth close to the necklace.
Oh would I love to put another teeth on this necklace!
[You can only put one racial teeth on the orcish necklace]
Shame.
But I'm kinda glad I don't need to butcher all those goblins for real.
I look down at malfoy as he grab another teeth out, should I just let him?
Would be funny to just let him get more and more teeth before revealing him it was useless, MUAHAHAHAHAH, Yeah yeah that would be really funny, turning his head he look at me and stop mid throw "why the smile?" am I smiling?smiling
Fuck, retreat retreat, he's suspicious now, it won't work. "Nothing, just looks like pretty good buffs, just a shame multiples tooth of the same monster don't work"
I let the tooth in my hand fall on the ground, and malfoy-What's his real name already? Matthew I think?-
Do the same before getting up from the goblin and saying "do you wish to try with hulk?" I look at him, and grab a big teeth, gigantic compared to the small goblin one, or mines really "I'm pretty sure it came with one"
Nodding, he start walking toward me, I turn around and we both leave to rejoin the others.
Urghhhhhhh, so much new things to think about, I halfheartedly open the tent, the cycling shit, gaining points, the tiers, the inventory that talked about claiming my spear, the necklace, how to use the points and "Finished?" The voice of barlow come to interumpt my thoughts, oh, looks like the three waited for us.
"Yep, let's move"
I pass in front of everyone grab the ladder and move first, wait did Jenna said she was almost full essence?
How much did she killed? "Jenna, how many did you killed?" I ask when I'm back in the watchtower, fortunately Jenna climbed up just after me "A dozen I believe?"
She doesn't sounds sure but that sounds logic, A dozen to fill up the essence, and the hulk was worth a dozen of goblins. I hum and nod at Jenna answer, and we keep waiting for the others as I go back to my thoughts.
Tiers sounds to be the move then, I mean, they do give points, and even if I didn't test it out, I'm pretty damn sure that's how you get stronger, it always is.
I just wonder how the points work though, I mean, we only get 1 free point, of everything right? So like, how does it work with the substats? Does putting one point in body increase EVERYTHING, can't we specialize in anything if we're not messing with substats?
Thinking about it I try to bring up my substats for body again, wait what was it already?
Zoom out body 5?
[Body: 10
-355 grip strength
-235 aerobic energy system
-419 anaerobic energy system
-618 anaerobic lactic energy system
-115 atp production]
HAHA! GOTCHA! Wait, did some of those numbers changed?
Uhhhhhh
I have no idea.
When everyone come back, talking together, we start walking toward the corridor again
"Wait, wait, didn't you wanted to try shooting?"
"I think I'll try it when we're inside" Jenna answer Annie, and I keep staring at the substats...so if I want to specialize I need to use substats right?
If so.
[Please do not attribute any points into your substats during the tutorial]
Why can't I?
And why did my...uh, what was it called already?
You know the timid guy, or girl, or whatever, that like talked about using substats on regeneration to heal? SYSTEM CONSULTANT THAT'S THE WORD!
"But what if we could?" "Annie, really, no one here want to eat goblins" "not even smoked?" "Not even smoked."
Why did my system consultant talked about that if I can't put any of my substats in there? Was she really just dumb as hell? Or just scared as hell? Talking about it, now that I'm a tutorial attendee.
Zoom out possesed sub stats magic
[Magic: 1
-500 mystical fear
-250 magical instinct human chasing
-250 magical instinct human slaughthering]
Can I see what this does? [you do not possess enough clearance, please finish the tutorial for more information] right, it was after the tutorial.
So basically.
What my system consultant told me to do was to, try and use something, a precious, pretty sure it's precious, limited ressource on something I cannot use till I finish the tutorial.
Great.
Don't even know what this "regeneration" would do, I mean, I can guess, but, I WANT SPECIFICS, HOW DOES THIS SHIT IMPROVE MY REGENERATION ANYWAY!? Urgh, really this shit is useless.
So everyone that put their stats in body will finish with the same body now?
Until they change their substats, sounds kinda dumb.
But does it even work like that? I mean, I assumed it would improve everything generally, but does it really? I mean...I can't really guess, BUT PERHAPS I COULD IF I MANAGED TO USE THOSE SUBSTATS!
