Larcen re-checked their stats as he walked in through the door which Mike had managed to unlock.
Lily and Mike had also joined in and revealed their stats. Only this time, they didn't lie. Once they moved in, they looked at him expectantly.
"Well, my stats are similar to Lily's... Strength at 0.3, Stamina at 0.5, Agility at 0.6."
"Huh? That low? But you fought like you had much better agility and stuff... like, I've seen you evade hits."
Larcen nodded, "Yeah, that's because I have a skill. It increases my concentration I guess?"
"Yeah, that makes sense... let's check the other rooms, and then I can get some food ready.", said Mike and before everyone could get moving, Lily spoke up.
"I too have a skill... It says store room and I can access a 5 x 5 x 5 room."
Silence permeated the air as everyone stared at Lily, utterly baffled except Larcen but he still acted like he was.
"That's really useful." Aria said and patted Lily's back before smiling widely, "You're now this group's luggage carrier, hahahahahah"
Lily didn't say anything and simply pouted while her sister and cousin laughed. Ethan and Larcen made eye contact, nodded, and began checking the other rooms.
Larcen was extremely careful while opening doors as the incident with the mutated babies flashed in his head. It only took them a minute to check all the rooms and once they were done, they got to doing whatever they wanted.
The girls picked some clothes from the wardrobe and occupied the bathroom. Ethan simply lay down on a bed and Mike busied himself in the kitchen while Larcen plopped himself onto the sofa before checking his system.
He had 3SP and a notification.
{System unlocked for all the Humans on this planet. Trade terminal unlocked for all; will be displayed in the system store as a separate category.}
Larcen checked the store and found 2 separate options, one which said Shop and the other said Trade Terminal. The trade terminal was empty but the shop had the stat pills and such listed. There was even an option for him to add things.
He unlocked two more storage slots and used the last SP to replicate water bottles which got stored in his 12th storage slot with 1000x on the bottom right corner.
'So 1000 huh.... it's cheaper than those energy bars.' he thought to himself as he
listed the water bottles in the shop at a price of 1SP for 10 bottles and did the same with the energy bars.
He didn't expect people to buy them so soon as they could easily scavenge for them but he did it just in case someone couldn't.
The food was ready in an hour and after dinner, Larcen decided to use the bathroom for himself as he did not know when he would have such a luxury next time.
After freshening up, he wore clothes that he found in the wardrobe earlier. They were a bit loose but he didn't mind as long as they covered his body. They had to make shifts to make sure they weren't attacked and Mike didn't want anything unexpected to happen while everyone was sleeping.
Larcen took the first shift and kept an eye on them, waiting for two hours before waking Aria up and taking her place on the bed beside Lily. It didn't take too long for him to fall asleep.
*****
Larcen felt someone shaking him and he woke up, only to see Ethan shaking Aria awake beside him.
"There's someone outside.", he whispered and walked out.
Larcen panicked when he heard that but Aria was already on her feet, equipping her dagger and walking out. She looked back at him once before walking out of the room where Mike and the others were present.
He picked up his Machete and knife that he had kept under his pillow before joining the others. Everyone was staring at the door, waiting for it to unlock as they had seen Mike do the same thing before.
It took the people outside a minute before the sounds stopped and the door opened. Unexpectedly, the ones outside directly pounced on the first person they saw but unfortunately for them, it was Mike.
With a gracious sidestep, he kicked them with his knee but it wasn't just one person. Four more people walked in through the door but the only thing they saw was their friend coughing on the ground.
Before they could do anything though, Larcen's foot flew towards the guy who was kneeling on the ground, coughing. With a crisp sound, the guy's face fell to the floor along with his body. Larcen had kicked him a bit too hard, twisting his neck too far in the process.
"That's my brotherrr!", screamed one of the three guys standing at the door but Larcen gave no reaction.
Mike sighed, "Your brother attacked fir-"
The guy didn't listen and simply attacked while the other two joined in, going for different people.
The three of them went straight for Larcen, Ethan, and Mike. Not wasting a single second, Larcen activated his flow state before slashing his machete at the incoming man. The guy evaded before punching him in the stomach, to which Larcen responded by sidestepping to the right.
Halfway through the process of evading, he felt something pierce him in the right side of his abdomen.
