Donny blinked slowly looking at his status No wonder he felt completely wiped he had almost used up all of his stamina He slowly removed his last three stamina potions and drank them all Ptolemy trotted up to thim and looked at him in askance but Donny just waved him away One of the new recruits was vomitting off to the side
Everyone’s eyes looked dead The way Donny felt on the inside
But still for some strange reason he found his feet moving and he was walking over towards Dozer A notification popped up but Donny largely ignored it aside from an annoyed grunt that another one of his skill slots was taken
Congratulations You have learned the passive skill Leadership Lvl 1
It’s either this or death And I refuse to die a virgin Donny said awkwardly patting Dozer on the back Dozer’s body stilled The other veterans barely catching their breath without the aid of the huge supply of stamina potions Donny and Dozer had been given stilled
Then they all began to laugh
Your skill Leadership has grown to Lvl 2
Do not worry I’ll have my girl personally suck your dick if we live through the night Dozer said slapping his knee and guffawing The surrounding men chuckled Even the few women seemed slightly amused
Uh Donny said wondering if it really worked like that Would girlfriends suck the dick of other people if their boyfriend asked them to
Then he shook his head and accepted a non cracked shield from another NCC who was hanging around as well as a health and stamina potion
This is the last of it The NCC said his expression nervous But Donny just smiled and turned to Dozer
Ready to get back to work
Randidly returned to camp with a heavy heart heedless of the wanton celebration around them From what he gathered the Newbie Village had done well with less than 10 people dying For a system enhanced world that was worthy of celebration People were already cutting down more trees and carrying bodies away even though it was barely dawn
But Randidly ignored them Over the course of the night he had gained two levels in Equip a level in Sneak and Eyes of the Spear Phantom and 3 in Pollen of the Rafflesia He had stood among the monster horde heading towards the nearby town letting his pollen passively fall curious on how the nearby town would handle the monster wave Based on the number of monsters they had let at least 180 people get classes
But they didn’t use their people They used guns
They had two heavy mounted machine guns blasting the entire time Although it seemed reasonable based on Sam getting the Driving skill there were probably shooting skills But guns required bullets Unless something very weird happened with the geography there shouldn’t be a facility to produce more bullets near here
But still Randidly supposed that was a possibility So they either had bases very near a person who could mass produce bullets or
A person who didn’t care that they would soon run out
Either way it was a worrisome sign for the future Randidly returned to his cabin but once again was stopped before he could retire for his night training
A tall man stood in front of his cabin leaning on the door He was wearing one of Sam’s sewed together cloaks but it looked like this one was of much higher quality than most Randidly could tell that some of the cat fur he had brought back had been used around the throat
Perhaps the most distinctive feature about the man was his face He had deep brooding eyes and a chiseled jawline He also seemed oddly familiar but Randidly set that aside for now
Yes Randidly asked annoyed
The man chuckled and it was a warm and attractive sound Inwardly Randidly’s dislike grew Maybe it’s my vanity but I’m surprised well nevermind The world really has changed I’m Kal Drake I was wondering if you could do me a favor
A small lightbulb went on in Randidly’s head at the name He dimly remembered that Kal Drake was a rather famous action star in
there definitely was a movie
Seeing Randidly’s confused expression Kal smiled helplessly Seems that doesn’t mean anything to you Well that’s fine It’s simple Sam seems to like staying with your group but the rest of us aren’t so comfortable I would like for you to take us to the other village in the morning
After Kal had left Randidly sat down for meditation and pondered it in the dark So this famous action star was one of the hooded figures that Randidly had seen It also explained why both Lyra and Ellaine were so attractive they were probably all actresses
And the fact that he came himself without using Sam probably meant they were leaving without telling Sam
Should Randidly let it happen like this
His meditation skill level increased distracting him and he sighed
The whole point of letting Donny be Village Chieftain was to avoid dumb problems like this How did it end up happening anyway
Why did people not just leave him alone
In a few hours the 4th day would dawn Over halfway towards the end of the Newbie Zone Although he would likely be able to survive he had less hopes for the rest of the group Perhaps this village was doomed to fail Perhaps this whole world was a death trap
Chapter 40
Randidly only had around an hour before the sun fully dawned but it was enough to level up Empower and Summon Pestilence He stood slowly considering Kal’s request It’s not that he minded fulfilling it but the real question
His eyes sharpened as someone walked up to his cabin Randidly exited finding Sam
Sam simply grunted Based on your face Kal came and saw you right And you were wondering whether to tell me
He spat off to the side As if I give a shit about that primadona The real problem is he is insisting that the rest go with him so they don’t get so separated from the real world that they start to think this is what life is like
Randidly chuckled What does he think is out there A place where monsters don’t exist A place where the weak don’t die
Yea honestly
They stood in silence for several seconds Randidly rubbed his neck uncomfortably Well I’m going to the town to get those potion containers The 50 we got for last night were helpful but a surprising amount were just dropped on the ground after use If they want to come I’ll take them there But there is something strange about that town
You believe the rumors that the mayor has gone crazy Sam asked
Randidly shrugged I guess I’ll find out today
The group that went with Randidly to the nearby town ended up being Kal Ellaine the 4th still cloaked woman and Decklan who caught them as they were leaving It seemed to be a sore subject that Lyra wasn’t coming based on the grim line of Kal’s mouth but Randidly made no effort to talk with the group anyway and let it slide
He was slightly more perturbed by Decklan who followed him closely with his eyes the entire route Any enemies they encountered Randidly dispatched quickly with a powerful mana bolt Perhaps no one noticed but Decklan but his intelligence and skill level were combining to make the mana bolts instantly deadly One struck a lizard and smashed it into the tree behind it cracking the tree The group watched the tree slowly topple and then continued on in silence
Randidly knew that the town itself was back towards the location that he exited the dungeon and didn’t have any better idea on where to approach to enter it so he walked back towards the area with the machine gun nests The rest followed Honestly it was something of an oversight that they hadn’t at least sent someone out to scout the nearby Newbie Village
Nul’s attitude towards the other village seemed to indicate that there was some kind of competition between the the villages but it was hard to tell anything with him He still didn’t act the same around Randidly as he did for the rest
