Floki was quite envious of Anton at this mont.
The long black-haired, handso brute was able to carry out 200 push-ups in one go without relaxing at all.
At one point, Floki expected that he would relax due to the strain on his muscles, which were clearly visible to the eyes, but Anton just kept going until he was done.
His exercise was not the only thing that made Floki envious, it was also his reaction afterwards.
"Ahhh!"
He let out a manly shout and flexed his arm muscles with thrill.
The villagers clapped their hands in amazent, as though they had just witnessed a noteworthy performance.
Angelina had a wide smile on her face as she watched Anton with deep admiration, trying to et his gaze.
But at the mont, Anton was overly focused on the pump he had received from the push-ups.
"I can feel the pump in my muscles. Young chief, where did you discover this unique training?"
"Instincts," Floki lied.
"Your instincts are always very sharp," he said.
Then, without even relaxing, he proceeded with sit-ups.
Sit-ups were where he tired out quickly.
He could feel the tightness of his abs, and it was a feeling he had not really experienced before.
Yet after relaxing for only a couple of minutes, he began again. He repeated the workout and rest routine three tis and completed the sit-ups.
He reacted as he did with the push-ups and began touching his abs, feeling the difference with a smile on his face.
He was already sweating at this mont, and the view was naturally seductive to the opposite gender.
Then he went on with squats.
Squats were not difficult for him at all, as he was able to finish them in one go.

"Wow!"
Anton let out as his eyes widened.
"I feel... different... like I suddenly beca stronger," he said, his eyes filled with curiosity as he turned to look at Floki.
"Stronger?"
Everyone reacted just as much, amazed by the revelation.
"One can beco stronger by pushing the ground? Mommy, I want to start pushing the ground from now on," a young boy whose mouth was soiled with soup turned to his mother and said.
Floki did not know what story to co up with to explain the quest system to them, so he remained silent and let them attribute the growth to the exercise.
After all, this would help more than he could imagine.
Unfortunately, while the mood was becoming more enjoyable,
suddenly, an eerie silence crept across the entire village.
The silence was unnatural and heavy. Everyone beca quiet subconsciously, including Floki.
The only sound that could be heard at this mont was the wind drifting.
And then suddenly,
"HAHAHAHA!"
A thundering and terrifying laughter, resembling that of a famous insane villain, reverberated across the entire village.
Floki found himself shivering subconsciously at the sound of the voice.
But his reaction was much milder compared to his people.
So fell to the ground and buried their heads in the sand.
So knelt, shut their eyes, and began to cry.
So elderly n and won fled with the support of their walking sticks, but their hurried state caused them to fall harshly, injuring themselves.
While the children hugged their parents and sobbed with terror.
Their re reactions were enough to make a grown man more afraid.
Floki managed to remain calm amidst the storm, as his calmness at the mont was the only thing that could help steady his people.
He tried to pinpoint the direction the voice was coming from using his improved vision and hearing senses.
But he was faced with the sa effect the woman described. The voice was coming from everywhere and nowhere at the sa ti.
If you faced west, it would seem like it was coming from there, and it was the sa for all directions.
’This is scary...’
Now he understood why none of his people were able to remain calm.
’What could this thing look like?’
’What is its real strength?’
’With only its voice, it could invoke this much fear even in a silver-rank like . It should be at the peak of silver-rank or maybe even gold-rank.’
Floki analyzed in his mind.
’I cannot slack if this thing is going to strike the village in four days’ ti,’ he made up his mind.
He steadied his heart and voice and proceeded to calm everyone.
He escorted everyone back to their places and reassured them that nothing would happen.
As for the likes of Angelina, he let them use the huts of those who had been taken away by Blackstone.
And after he had successfully taken everyone to their rooms, he went back to his place.
The laughter of the night laugher was still loud and disturbing.
As he was inside his room, the laughter sounded like it was coming from within his room.
This odd effect of the voice made Floki more curious about the identity of the strange being and also made him more serious about growing stronger.
Right now, he had nothing significant to grow stronger with, except what he might find in the shop that had newly been unlocked.
As a result, he opened the shop.
[ Shop.v1 ]
The shop tab opened.
It was a very wide rectangular holographic window that looked more like an online shopping app interface, but with a sci-fi twist.
The shop was divided into three categories.
[Weapons ⚔️] [Skills📜] [Miscellaneous🔀]
And at the bottom of the window, there were three notes.
[Items in the shop are updated regularly. New items may be added every 24 hours, and existing items may be removed without notice.]
[More categories and items will unlock when the shop is upgraded to Gold Rank.]
[ Conversion rate for shop V1 —> 2 Skill Points - 1 Shop Coin ]
Floki was agitated at the overwhelming conversion rate. But he knew screaming would not solve anything, so he simply entered the skill section to look for a good skill.
[ Fire Disk (E-grade) — 50 Shop Coins... Read more ]
[ Slow ditation (E-grade) — 55 Shop Coins... Read more ]
[ Rapid Burst (E-grade) - 45 Shop Coins... Read more ]
[ Inventory Expansion (E-grade) — 70 Shop Coins... Read more ]
[ Pain resistance (E-grade) — 70 Shop Coins... Read more ]
...
There were about two dozen skills on display from different categories, ranging from defense and attack to support and even crafting skills.
But the ones he was looking for the most were not present.
’Guess I’ll have to find the best ones available in this round and wait till twenty-four hours to see if I would be lucky. Before that, let check the other shop categories.’
