Chapter 18: A drop!
<Ding Dong!>
<Host, you have completed the Quest: The first step of the mightiest dog!>
<The reward: F-rank skill, Observation is available!>
<Would you like to accept?>
<Yes> <No>
—
"Woof!" (Yes!)
Hearing Eggie's voice, Ning immediately affirmed yes without any hesitation. She sighed with a tinge of relief on her puppy face.
The quest is finally over.
—
<Ding!>
<You have learned the F-rank Skill, Observation!>
...
<Skill: Observation!>
<Rank: F>
<Description: Allow the player to view the general information about a specific target.>
—
'Ohoho, a new skill! This one will become much handy later.'
After Ning received the reward, she then looked at the dead zombie. Its general information instantly appeared in front of her.
[Level 1 Zombie's coprse]
[Description: A useless sack of rotten flesh. Eat it if you want, but beware of the consequent]
'Yup, very helpful.'
As if thinking of something, Ning started to search the zombie's body. However, even after a while, she found nothing valuable.
'How strange...does it not have any drop like Mana Crystal? Or not every zombie have a Mana Crystal?' Ning pondered in disbelief.
She was somewhat skeptical whether to dismembered the entire corpse and inspecting the inside of its body.
But unfortunately, she decided not to do so. The zombie's body is too hard, much tougher than a human's, and she doesn't have the energy for that.
'Since the observation skill judged it to be useless, I shouldn't bother with it anymore. But with only two Fireballs, I was able to defeat a level 1 zombie. It's not bad at all.'
While her mana slowly recovered, Ning stealthily sneaked around and looked for another prey. After having some experience the last time, her efficiency of searching has increased.
Ten minutes later—
'Haha, found it!'
While looking intensely at a particular zombie, Ning smiled widely.
[Zombie: Level 1]
[HP: 91%] [MP: 20/20]
[Description: It was once a deceased human, but it rises from the dead and becomes a zombie due to a mysterious power. Its speed's slow and is three times stronger than when it was alive. It hates the living and forever craving for their flesh.]
Like before, Ning ran over to the zombie, kicked its leg, and lured it to another place.
Fireball!
Boom!
A fierce life and death battle ensues in an alleyway as Ning uses her skill.
However, she soon awkwardly missed one of her attacks amid the fight.
Then, one mistake quickly led to another. In the end, she was only able to defeat the zombie after the four Fireballs, expending a total of 8 MP.
—
<Ding!>
<You have killed a Level 1 Zombie!>
<You received 1 experience!>
<A F grade Mana Crystal has been dropped.>
—
The moment the zombie died, a white light shot out from its body, fell onto the ground, and revealed a white crystal.
"An item drop?" Suprised, Ning quickly inspects it with her Observation skill.
[Item: Mana Crystal]
[Grade: F]
[Description: A source of energy seldom dropped from a low-level monster, direct consumption can restore a small amount of mana.]
