Rowan managed to harvest only a small number of monster cores from the slain monsters. He collected fewer than one hundred cores, which was significantly less than 10% of the total monsters they had defeated.
However, Rowan didn't feel discouraged by the low yield of monster cores. He had taken the soldiers out to hunt today not to farm monster cores, but to make them stronger, and in that, he had succeeded.
As they strolled back to the village, Rowan couldn't stop thinking about how they would be able to hunt more effectively in the future.
"Even if we use the same bait we used today on another day, I'm not sure we'll be able to draw out as many monsters as we did today. We'll have to go deeper into the forest to hunt in the future," Rowan muttered to himself.
"Most of the soldiers earned only a small amount of evolution points today. Some even had to fight and kill the same monsters repeatedly to earn points," Rowan continued.
