Health Potion Randidly said shortly And then after a second of thought added The world is like a game now That will help you heal faster
I’m uninjured The man growled
Randidly looked at the truck bed and the shrugged tired of the conversation Honestly this was too much of a hassle then in case of future injuries I’m leaving
Wait
Randidly paused his back to the old man his senses sharpening
But the old man just sighed and asked where are you staying The town Is there anywhere safe Did you get a class at one of those Newbie Towns Is that why you are so strong
Randidly turned back around his tongue feeling abruptly thick What to say I’m staying in a cabin in a nearby valley I have avoided the town but I doubt it’s safe I don’t have a class I was just lucky
It made Randidly want to laugh calling what happened to him luck 7 months of agony and strife But he supposed it paid dividends Then seeing the old man’s thoughtful face Randidly fled returning to the cabin and his planted seeds
Chapter 21
To Randidly’s dismay when he returned to the cabin and the field the punk kid was not alone He was facing off against an asian girl who looked to be around 17 and a chubby looking teen standing next to her Those two were both glowering at the punk
Back off Tera The punk spat This is me and my buddy’s spot We will kick your ass if you hang around
Tera the girl snorted Oh please I saw you steal that claw off a dead wolverine You probably haven’t even figured out skill levels and path points yet huh You little pussy
Fucking bitch The punk said spitting at the ground and getting red faced
At around that moment the three teens noticed Randidly standing there He supposed from the way their eyes widened he struck quite a figure standing with a spear in his hand looking completely pristine
But his weapon was soaked in blood
Randidly coughed quietly and walked past the group sitting back in the spot among his fields The punk kid hurried over pleased but Randidly hissed at him noticing his path
Wait Randidly said and then got up and drew lines in the ground with the butt of his spear around the spots where his seeds were planted The punk kid stumbled back out of the way Don’t walk here
Then he placed his spear back into his bag and sat down in his spot Only then did he noticed the shocked looks they were giving him Ah the satchel
He studiously closed his eyes and ignored them Tera and her follower were engaged in a heated whisper discussion and the punk kid was loitering around Randidly looking unbelievably smug for someone who had just gotten yelled at for walking
Sighing Randidly slipped back into meditation and root manipulation while simultaneously activating Iron Skin Raising skill he had discovered was about difficulty and the stress but it was also about familiarity and control Even if the skill level didn’t necessarily improve just increasing the usage efficiency would
Hey
The girl spoke interrupting Randidly’s train of thought He opened his eyes and glared at her which caused her to stumble as she approached but then her mouth firmed into a line and she walked forward
Hey you You are strong How did you do it
Randidly inwardly sighed but the punk answered for him
Heh you want to talk to one of my minions You will need to go through me first And make sure you don’t walk on our spots The punk kid puffed up self importantly gesturing to the areas Randidly had outlined on the ground
Tera just gave him a look You must be joking You are saying that YOU are in charge You pissed your bed until you were
No he is Talk to him Randidly said feeling suddenly inspired Leaving now would be annoying because it would waste all of his seeds But continually interacting with people who came to him would also be tiring Having this punk stay here and hold the base while Randidly searched for rare mobs would kill two birds with one stone
At Randidly’s words the punk kid chuckled coolly As I said I Dusk am the boss around here
Tera rolled her eyes What the fuck is that Dusk shit Donny Anyways why is he so strong
Donny turned to Randidly You heard her why are you so strong
A vein in Randidly’s temple began to throb
Randidly briefly explained skill points PP and paths to them as well as that obtaining a class would make them more powerful Then he informed them that they couldn’t get a class until they founded a Newbie Town and the only way to do that was to defeat certain monsters
In this regard Randidly finally was rewarded with good news The chubby teen imaginatively named Chubbs said he had seen a huge group of goblins farther east away from the city a little bit north from where they were now
Donny then imperiously told Randidly to go get the item for the town the next morning so he could discover what great class he was meant to have
What was annoying was that was exactly Randidly’s plan so he remained silent Pleased Donny called dibs on the cabin and went inside to sleep while Tera and Chubbs brought out a backpack and produced a small tent and sleeping bags from inside The sun was yet to set but they all seemed so dead tired that it didn’t matter
But before she laid down Tera came over to Randidly Should we take turns keeping watch or something like in the movies
Randidly considered this Then shook his head No for tonight I will be sufficient
Giving him a weird look Tera walked away And honestly Randidly thought it would definitely be fine He had apparently grossly underestimated the time passage of time in the dungeon He had come out several hours later than he had calculated and the only way to make up that time was to assume that days were longer than he believed Almost double as long Staying up a night or two would cause him no trouble
Just as the sun was setting another event occurred a familiar looking pickup truck drove down the dirt track to near their position After turning off the engine the old man got out of the truck and walked over to Randidly
They stood there for a few minutes just looking at the nearby fields Chubbs who had been kicked out of the tent by Tera looked on curiously
Not many monsters to be seen on the way over The man commented
Randidly nodded his mouth curling up in a grin If they want to die let them come
Seemingly satisfied the man turned and headed back to his truck
Chapter 22
And come they did in the dead of night a column of goblins and wolverines seemingly working together What was most interesting was that a goblin with a green name to lead them Lvl 7 Goblin Warband Leader
It wasn’t what he needed to found the Newbie Town but it at least proved that higher level monsters among the goblins existed
The darkness was nothing for his Eyes of the Spear Phantom and when they had come within range he abruptly stood shooting 20 mana bolts off in quick succession In the cloudy night the bolts burned like lightning across the goblins retinas and those not struck and killed screeched in confusion blinded
Randidly rapidly downed three mana potions and strode forward as the goblins gathered more tightly together rushing towards him
With a grin he raised a hand and shot an arcane orb towards the group which exploded in a mass of gore And apparently the sound had finally awoken the people behind Randidly who began to come out confused and blinded by the dark
Strangely the green named goblin barked something in its language and most of the goblins turned and fled Incensed the wolverines still rushed forward their eyes covered in a haze of bloodlust and Randidly moved forward calmly ripping the remaining monsters to pieces Haste enabled to give him a small extra edge
By the end of the night Randidly was delighted to discover that he had gained points in Spear Mastery Mana Bolt and Haste Using the 3 pp raised the level of Green Spear Mastery to 170 granting him another point in Vitality
Randidly took a quick glance at his status
Health(/R per hour) 206/255 (+6) (102 75 (+9
