Even without a class the addition of Green Spear Mastery giving him bonuses every 5 PP used had begun to add up in terms of stats And with all his skills
Still feeling the fire in his blood from battle Randidly settled back moving slowly through the spear forms taught to him by Shal The point he reached now was good but it wasn’t enough He needed strength Strength to find Sydney and Ace out here in this huge area And that would only come by squeezing as much benefit out of the down time as possible
Roots began to wiggle underneath his feet pleased to feel the flow of his mana
Randidly made a mental note to ask about glass containers for potions later
The greatest pleasure of the morning was that moment when he got a notification that his farming had increased to 18 Grinning he looked over at his farming area to see that several sprouts had come up
The rest of the people who were staying in the area were also up and awake and Tera Donny and Chubbs were looking with open mouths at the piles of bodies The old man just folded his arms his reaction to be even more inscrutable
Randidly nodded in satisfaction I’m going to go find the goblin boss
Uh before you go Donny said his voice rather high pitched Can you give us some pointers on Skill Levels I know you said practice but To get that strong
Simply practice Raise Skill Levels Randidly answered reflexively
But Donny kept pushing Well what sort of skills are there
After a bit of hesitation Randidly answered I believe they can be anything I have skills for using the spear and for casting spells but also strange things Farming Running Physical Fitness
Woodcutting Cooking Cleaning anything The old man said noncommittally spitting over to the side
Then he nodded towards Randidly I’d like to speak with you when you return
He turned and walked away and Randidly left the three teens with their thoughts
Covered in gore in possession of several more items than he had departed with and very pleased about the whole trip Randidly returned to the valley to find some very dramatic changes had happened in a short amount of time
Someone had constructed a short wooden fence around most of the area that Randidly had planted his seeds in which were now visibly sprouting and growing leaving small openings to enter the tiny fields There was also a raised platform made from cut wood in the center of the field area which would provide a good view of the surroundings The surrounding area was now strew with large logs and piles of firewood Someone had dug out a fire pit and lined it with stones and now a wolverine was spitted over it roasting slowly
Most interest was that a second smaller dwelling or at least the bones of one had gone up next to the cabin Tera Chubs and Donny were furiously dragging smaller cut saplings over to stack serving as the walls
Their constant bickering could be heard from far away but Randidly ignored it heading to the fire pit where the old man stood
The old man grunted in acknowledgement as Randidly arrived Wood Cutting Lvl 4 Wood Working Lvl 5 Construction Level 3 Animal Skinning Level 4 Hunting Lvl 2 Axe Mastery Lvl 4 I currently have 16 PP I haven’t spent any of them Any recommendations
Randidly frowned casting his memory back you have the Newbie path available
The old man nodded As well as Woodsman and something with question marks
Nodding Randidly said Finish off the Newbie path it should only take 7 pp Then you will get mana bolt and heavy blow two active skills that you can use while you raise your passive skills From there you will just need to continue to practice
And for the stats The old man asked
Randidly briefly explained his understanding on what the stats affected Then he asked Is this what you wanted to talk about
No but The old man removed the skinned wolverine and checked it Perhaps it won’t matter Did you find whatever you were looking for
Randidly smiled and produced a glowing golden coin
You have 1 Gold Nexus coin Use Y/N
Without thinking about it too much Randidly selected yes
Chapter 23
Instantly a smartly dressed man appeared in front of him He smiled serenely at Randidly
Hello I am your guide Nul Congratulations you now have the qualifications to found a Newbie village To do so you simply need to receive your class As the first person to receive a class from me you will receive the Soul Skill Village Chieftain which will help you survive in this world Are you ready to proceed
Randidly’s eyes were practically sparkling as he nodded With a class he could finally level And then
Another notification popped up
You are about to be taken to the class screen Once you enter the class screen you cannot leave without picking a class You will have the option of choosing from three classes The first will be a general class based on the system’s initial impression of your skills and personality when the system first initialized The second will be a random class The third will be a class generated based on your current natural gifts and disposition Do you wish to proceed Y/N
Randidly frowned turning to Nul When it says current gifts what does that mean
Nul gave him an innocent smile Different individuals are naturally blessed At the time of the class selection the system will examine you and recommend a class based on that
Do your natural blessings include skill levels Current stat levels
Nul only continued to smile ignoring the question Randidly sighed and selected no So it was that sort of system
If Randidly did select a class it likely wouldn’t be the first choice because that class would be based on the him from several months ago Or at least that’s how it would seem to him A 23 year old who hadn’t ever had to struggle in his life Similarly the 2nd random option seemed unreliable and not a real choice at all
So the third option would be what he was betting on a current scan of his Natural Blessings Anyone else fighting for their lives wouldn’t think anything of that phrasing but Randidly had noticed it immediately If it scanned them now perhaps scant days after the scan for the first choice what was it scanning for Natural blessings
No that would have been caught on the system initialization recommendation If by natural blessings they meant stats and skills bestowed by the system In addition it would likely take most people more time than Randidly to strengthen themselves and work up the nerve to found a Newbie Village In this time they would be relying solely on paths to grow stronger
And also hanging over Randidly’s head was Shal’s statement that you can only learn a set number of skills once you have a class
Although likely less detailed it seemed the old man’s thoughts were on a similar track So it’s a game of chicken huh Are you gonna gamble on learning new skills so you get a better class or are you going to take the class to grow strong
