34 Chapter 6 : Trisha

The young woman's expression quickly became calm, she looked at James with a strange look before saying:

"It's rare in Survival World that someone has as many points invested in Sense as I do."

James looked at her strangely before whispering in a low voice.

"So only those who have a certain amount of points in Sense can see you, your ability is very useful."

In Survival World it is rare to earn many points without being a cheater like James, for novice travelers, strengthening stats that improve strength was paramount with the few points they were earning, investing their points in stats that didn't directly increase fighting skills as a sense was a real waste for them.

They preferred to increase their Strength, Constitution or Dexterity, especially as the conditions for upgrading the stats became more and more difficult as they increased.

"What do you want from me?" The young woman asked cautiously, staring at James as she ready to begin in battle at any moment.

"I'd like you to cooperate with me." Says James quietly with a smile on his face while backing away to show he didn't want to fight.

"I'd like to escape with a native, and I need your ability."

"Why would I do that? There are only a few days left before the task is complete, I just have to wait a little while before I can gain a thousand points easily."

James, who was already prepared for this question, made a slightly saddened expression.

"You don't know this, but everyone who's ever been with us in this world is already dead, the more days go by the more Survival World increases the difficulty of this world, the only reason I'm still alive is because I can reduce my presence with a special technique."

"I've noticed that the power of the technique erased my presence is diminishing day by day and I'm sure you're in the same situation as I am."

"If we don't escape from here we'll die!"

The young woman suddenly fell into a deep reflection at James' words, she had also noticed this problem from the second day and it worried her too, but she didn't let James see her worry, she always looked at him coldly and said :

"The task requires us to stay here for a week, how do you know that leaving this place won't be considered a failure at the task, I certainly don't need to remind you of the consequences of failure and even if the task succeeds why should I trust you?"

James' eyes became more serious, but he still kept his smile.

"Survival World punishes failure, but the main task is just kind of a minimum goal that he sets for us, if we go over the goal we won't be punished but our rewards will go up, more rewards means more benefits, you don't need the money?... or get stronger."

It only lasted a moment, but the young woman's expression changed slightly when she heard the word money, but her face instantly became cold again.

"I refuse," she says

Hearing this, James' smile disappeared and he scratched his head for a moment before he sighed in disappointment.

"I didn't want it to come to this, but sometimes us don't have a choice."

James' Nen burst out of his body, waking up all the slaves, a feeling of malevolence escaped from his body and attacked the young woman who retreated backwards as her entire body trembled.

James' gaze became sharp and dark as he stared at the young woman.

"I'll give you ten seconds to change your mind, after ten seconds you'll be dead."

"I accept!" she screaming nervously.

James' Nen disappeared completely, he smiled and scratched his hair again in embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry to use force but winning the most points is very important to me, follow me."

Then he would sneak out of the cell accompanied by the young woman who walked cautiously behind him in front of the frightened eyes of the imprisoned slaves.

. . . . . . .

Fisher Tiger was roasting insects on the fire when he saw James accompanied by a human woman, he was somewhat surprised before immediately smiled with joy.

"You've managed to find a new partner. I didn't believe it, but you have."

James sat on the floor while the young woman standing and looked at them without saying a word.

"Fisher Tiger, this is our new partner...What's your name?"

Fisher Tiger hearing this almost fell into the campfire.

You invite a partner and you don't even know his name?

"Trisha Park..."She said looking at the strange appearance of Fisher Tiger but it didn't surprise her too much after all it was the galactic era, extraterrestrials were everywhere outside the solar system.

"Trisha, he is my friend and our teammate Fisher Tiger."

James took a skewer of bugs from the fire and unfolded his "map"...

"Fisher, the plan's changed. I got a better idea."

Fisher Tiger took a skewer of insects and handed it to Trisha, who refused it, then silently ate while looking at James as if waiting for his explanation.
