Unintentional Show-off

Oh, crap!

I shouldn't overdo things but I have no choice! I can't reach the White Fang Tiger at this distance.

Honestly, he tried to contemplate things but given the situation, it is better to get the hide of the wild animals. It will sell at a hefty price in the Adventurer Guild. Most players didn't know this life hack, so when the White Fang Tiger ran for his life, Gerard disregarded his previous notion to keep this unnamed move for the time being and instead used it to kill the White Fang Tiger.

And because of that, the players around him were perplexed.

He disregards their shocked faces for the time being and treads forward on the dead body of the White Fang Tiger.

He bends his left knee on the ground and starts working on the White Fang Tiger's dead body while the players behind his back still cannot get over being shocked and keep watching him from a distance.

Lucky! Gerard murmurs to himself.

Although there's no item and coin drop, he can still use its durable hide and its ivory two fangs glistening in blood.

Gerard knows how to work on the wild animal's body thanks to the previous virtual game he played when he was still alive. Same with the majority of the players in the world of the virtual game know how to do it as well but the thing is, they didn't know that even though they are not part of the Adventurer Guild yet, they can still sell the hide and important part of wild animal's body.

The rare the wild animal, the higher the price. Like this White Fang Tiger, it is rarely seen in the forest. Usually, they can be located in remote places and some are located in the deepest part of the forest in the Edo Kingdom but it seems that something disrupted the White Fang Tiger's way of living, making them wander in this forest.

It is not his intention but Gerard felt a foreboding feeling. And he is a hundred percent it is due to the forces marching towards the West Town.

Tsk. Why did the timeline change?

Meanwhile, Gerard trying to store the hide and the fangs of the White Fang Tiger, Lina, and others woke up from being dazed and silently observing what Payne Blanc trying to do.

First the unknown skill name of the pulse of the wave he used to kill the fleeing enemy. Just that alone is enough for them to be shocked. Besides being an unknown skill, the surroundings become hot, and when the pulse of a powerful wave collided with the White Fang Tiger, no damage was registered!

Which was unusual, the last time they saw Payne Blanc attack the Special Monster, the damage was registered above its head and they saw it with their own eyes. And now the pulse of the wave didn't register the amount of damage received by the White Fang Tiger. The HP threshold just dropped to zero and nothing else.

That was shocking. Lina and Sally once again proved their theory is correct. That Payne Blanc is a hidden Legendary Elite NPC. Only powerful NPC can attack and the amount of damage will not be registered. They believed if Payne wants to, he can kill the White Fang Tiger in one attack.

But before they can recover from the shock. They saw Payne skillfully get the hide and ivory fangs of the enemy and store it in its space inventory and confused as Duffle Bag by Lina and Sally and that should only appear halfway through the main storyline.

Killing wild animals will not get them experience compared to killing monsters. And besides, wild animals don't drop coins and items. So they do not want to bother with the White Fang Tiger's dead body and decided to leave it as it is.

But Gerard stores the hide and fangs of the wild animal on its space inventory. If they are members of the Adventurer Guild, they were sure to do the same but since it is far-fetched as of the moment, they didn't want to bother with a wild animal's dead bodies.

Well, it seems that elite NPC has a different temperament and way of living compared to the majority of the NPCs.

To make sure that there is nothing important left on the wild animal's dead body, Gerard tries to communicate with the Supreme System through his mind.

"Supreme System. Are there any important body parts left on the White Fang Tiger?"

[Yes. The membrum virile is also an important part of the White Fang Tiger. It can be used for medical purposes and treat erectile dysfunction.]

"Oh?! Really, then how should one take it?" Gerard asked the Supreme System in whims after learning it can treat erectile dysfunction.

Of course, he doesn't have a medical condition but he can sell it to merchants and the merchants can sell it to others who specialize in medicine. Now he just wants to learn how one should take it so he can use the intelligence to get more money from merchants. If the merchants can sell it as it is without consulting a medical practitioner, they can save lots of coins and in turn, can give Gerard lots of coins as well! Two birds with one stone!

But his dream to earn more coins by selling it crumble to pieces when a bomb was dropped in front of him.

[Take it as it is.]

"Huh?" Gerard dumbfoundedly and intentionally asked.

[Take it as it is.]

"Huh?" Once again Gerard is still dazed due to what he heard.

[Take it as it is.]

"What!" This time Gerard's expression a horror plastered on his face. Fortunately, it is his back that is facing the players, not his face. His spine shivers and his stomach almost turn. He even tries to silently barf.

That's hideous! He thought and silently barf once more. This is the time one would not want to think something about food.

Barfffff. Gerard cannot help but continue to barf!

[To get most of the nutrients, it is advisable to consume it as it is. The Host can wash it as well. Although it can turn into bits and powder through a medical procedure, most of the nutrients to treat erectile dysfunction were dissolved.]

Although the Supreme System explains the reason in the simplest way, Gerard long forgets about it and told himself he didn't hear a sound while the Supreme System is in the middle of the explanation.

Gerard bends his left knee once more and brandished his sword and secretly cuts the member of the White Fang Tiger and immediately stores it on his space inventory. Fortunately, he does not need to use his hands to get things to his space inventory. With just thought alone, the space inventory will do the magic.

It will be weird if players behind him saw that he cut that shouldn't be cut in the first place and stored it on his inventory. He will die in shame! Unless he is a legit medical practitioner, he can face them without batting an eye and tell them everything. But he is not, so the best thing he can do is not to be in the spotlight of shame by secretly cutting it.

Barffffff.

After making sure all is good, he took a deep breath and baaaarff one last time before stoically turning his head to the players.

"Everything is good. Let's get going."

Gerard's pace is fast and before the players can even understand what just happened, Gerard is already 10 meters away from them.

Lina was the first one to react and called out Gerard.

"Mr. Payne! Wait up! Don't go in the front, let our Guardian be on the vanguard!"

Although they used the Eluding Perfume to repel any high-level monsters, it is not the same with wild animals who have more acute smells compared to monsters.

The group survived the first night and now the sun tries to wave hello at them.

After fighting the White Fang Tiger last night, they only encountered a few low-level goblins and low-level kobolds. But the kobolds give them a hard time due to the monster's fast movement. Lina is the only one who can react faster than the kobolds.

They get a few coins and maces from them. But that's the only thing they gained from killing them aside from the low experience. In the 6 Players Party Team with their current level, excluding Gerard, killing low-level monsters like these is not enough to even move their experience threshold to 1%.

This is one of the thrills of playing Kingdom. Gaining experience, grinding monsters and coins, and even items and equipment become harder as they ascended to level up.

Still, this is what makes life exciting for elite players like Lina and Sally, and thrill-seeking players like Lex, Aliyah, and Angel. And Lite wants to be recruited by a core group.
