Ch.5 Hunting for goblins Part 1

I started my day by washing my face and morning exercise like push up, sit up, swinging my wakizashi a thousand times, etc. Of course, after morning exercise I cast healing spells upon myself in order to heal my muscle tissues that are torn. It was midday already and if I want to keep training like hellish training, I need to stock up on food. I cooked the entire stock of boar meat since my inventory can stop time while I started to take a bath. After taking a bath, I put on a new set of clothes and started to eat and put everything else into my inventory.

<Mission Updated!>

After fighting 5 monsters you still felt it's not enough to get strong.

<Mission Goal> Kill 0/100 Goblins

<Rewards> 40.000 Xp, and 30.000 Points

<Failure> Death, A village raid by goblins

'Utaha, do you have any training room or chamber that could slow time?'

<There is Alex, but it will cost 20.000 and the training chamber has a time ratio of 5:1 compare outside. The training chamber is like a different dimension that only you and the ones that you allowed to come in. Training chamber could be upgraded multiple times till 320:1 and every upgrade required 10.000 plus the previous cost for the time ratio it always multiplies 2 times It's like 10:1 for 30.000 points, 20:1 for 40.000 points, 40:1 for 50.000 points and so on.>

'But how do I get this many points?'

<You can just sell a magic core that's in the chest part of a monster. For example, the goblin which you killed and is currently in inventory.>

'Utaha, do you think the inventory to simply take it out from the corpse? I mean it's not very convenient to just open up the chest of a monster one by one.'

<Well you can but what will you do with the corpse?>

'The corpse can't be also sold?'

<You can but it will be priced cheap since it's only a low-level monster.>

'Just sell it then, how much do I get for 1 corpse of a goblin?'

<500 points for 1 corpse of the goblin with its magic core. 100 for the corpse and 400 for the magic core.>

'Ok, then can you sell all of them.'

<You got 2.000 points.>

Then I geared up and check the traps, there was a boar in a pitfall still alive. I killed it and started moving again, I check the new function [Map of people]. I start searching for a large group of monsters to check if there's some kind of settlement of monsters. There was 1 large group of a red dot which I assume it's a settlement, I scouted the settlement which is a goblin settlement. Since I'm not strong enough I search for a smaller group to reduce the fighter in the settlement.

Then I found a group of goblins, there's 5 of them walking together. I steady my wakizashi and dash toward one of them, fortunately, I have [Stealth] so my steps don't make sounds. I slash towards one of the goblins and surprisingly it wasn't as hard as yesterday when I slash at the neck. The other goblins started screaming as if they want to call for reinforcement but I can't just let them do that. As I was about to kill the second goblin there's a goblin lounging at me with his man-made spear. I stopped slashing and jump towards my left and I cut the goblin which lounging me into half as he lounged to my wakizashi and I slash towards him. Then I killed the last 3 without a problem.

I started to store the weapons and the corpses, I sold the corpses and got 2.500 points.

'Utaha how much are my points right now?'

<9.500 points.>

Then I'll keep hunting groups of goblins, I need points fast. after killing the 27th goblin, I stop hunting because it's already afternoon. I sold the corpses and magic core as usual and I head back to the cave

I got back to the cave but before that, I check the traps, there are 3 boars trap in my pitfalls. Well, I thought since I need animals to stock up, I'll take just these boars. I transported them to Utaha to be put in the ranch, I took out the lamp and the wooden tube to wash my self. as usual, I used my water magic to fill the tube and fill up the canteen, then I hopped in to wash and washing my gears.

I took out cooked meat from inventory and quickly eat it since I want to be efficient as hell. After I finished my food, I immediately trained my [Lightning Breathing] but still, my body can't take the job to do it. Yet still, I wanted to try it even if it damaged my body. then it's night time and I stopped training and went out from the cave and head to an open area to use it. I faced a tree and use it for my practice target.

I concentrated and made a form of someone is getting ready to run. I put my left hand at the sheath of wakizashi and my right hand at the handle of wakizashi. I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind. I muttered

"First Form: Thunderclap and Flash"

In a flash, I was behind a tree, and I turned my head to see what had happened. I see a trail of lightning still cackling and when I sheathed my wakizashi, the tree was chop into half. I'm awed by the degree of this technique but still, it took a lot of energy in my body and it's fatal when I'm fighting an enemy I lose focus. I wanted to take a closer look at how clean did I cut the tree, and I find that the tree was cut clean there was no rough part just smooth. I retreated to my cave and started thinking to hone this technique, I decided to buy a training chamber after I completed my mission.

'Goodnight Utaha.'

<Night Alex.>
