Chapter 3: Smart monkey
「It’s here!」
After eating the seed of evolution, I kept searching in the forest until I finally found the monkey’s territory.
「Kii.」
「Kyakkyakkya.」
「Ukiiii.」
The monkey seems quite pleased by the sight of the seeds of evolution I ate a little while ago.
「Let’s analyze him.」
Before, I wouldn’t have been able to check him out.
However, right now, If I’m hidden in the bushes, it’ll be alright.
I quickly used [Analyze].
Then, the monkey’s na appeared in my view.
[Smart monkey Lv:120]
What the… ?
Saying his na is 「Smart monkey」 isn’t quite right since when you translate it literally it was actually Wise Monkey.
But what’s with that level!? 120!? A creature that powerful passing by so suddenly!? The margin with is just ridiculous, not only I’m level 1, but all my stats excluding Magic are at level 1 as well.
That shocking level made switch my sight toward him.
「…What am I supposed to do now?」
It was brewing so strange grass with water in sothing like an earthenware mortar.
The smart monkey took the mixture and put it in a glass container.
The color of the mixture was that of a blue-ish green and didn’t look like sothing that would be good to drink.
Seeing him use those tools so skillfully confird the 「smart」 part in his na.
As I thought that, the monkey suddenly started moving.
「Ukiii.」
「Ukyakya.」
「Kikiii.」
Where is it going?
Should I follow it? Or should I stay here? It’s probably going to co back to take that strange mixture he made and the seeds.
「Then, for now, I should probably content myself with what he left here.」
I said so and waited quietly for the monkey to move.
And, after confirming that he was gone, I went to the place he was at a little while ago.
「First, let’s add these seeds to my storage」
I take all the seeds of evolution I find and put them in my item box, after counting, I found out that there was 9 in total.
This is the first ti I used my item box but it’s quite convenient. If I want to store an item in there, I just have to wish for it and it gets in, it’s quite easy to use.
「Wait… didn’t that god say that he put a book with the necessary knowledge of this world inside the item box?」
Well, I do want to confirm this, but now is not the ti, it would be quite troubleso if the monkey ca back here
「More importantly, what is that mixture?」
That was the bottle with the blue-ish green liquid made by the monkey earlier, and it still didn’t look consumable.
I picked up the bottle.
「The closer I look at it, the more disgusting it feels」
There are about four other bottles lying there. Next to them, the grass that seed like the principal ingredient of the liquid was piled up. Then, Is this where the ingredients are taken? Is this the thing it’s made of? Yes, that’s probably it, it makes sense… I want to believe that’s the only thing that was used.
Well, that doesn’t really matter, what matters is the liquid itself.
「I should use my analyze on it」
As I said so, I used the skill [Analyze].
[First class recovery dicine]
「Huh!?」
I let out a surprised voice after reading the na.
This is a recovery dicine!? Moreover, a first class one? If it’s that good for the body, why does it look so bad?!?
「Then, how about the grass?」
I used my analyze again.
[Special dical herb]
Oh, that’s what it is, what a relief.
Well, it’s probably all right since its effect can be easily guessed. (TLN: Rember, he can’t analyze it completely)
「This… I have to collect it.」
And, imdiately, I put the first class recovery dicine and the special dical herbs in my item box.
「How lucky, I made an unexpectedly good harvest.」
Though the smart monkey was… frightening.
「I found quite a lot of it, is there any more in this neighborhood by any chance?」
If there is, I want to gather it even if it’s just a little. It’s a kind of insurance in case sothing bad happens.
「This thing… I should collect as much of it as possible, should I start looking sowhere else?」
That smart monkey found a really good place. There might be nuts and mushrooms in the surroundings too.
I started moving imdiately after deciding on my next action.
————————————————————
「Well….」
I was having a staring ga with the grass.
I was pulling grass from each place and examining my findings one by one with my [Analyze] but there was no satisfying result.
There was only regular grass that had neither any kind of effect nor any healing ability, in the contrary, it seed to be quite dangerous for the stomach.
But that was a little while ago, right now, I was facing another problem.
「This… What is its effect?」
I was finally able to find so grass that reacted to my [Analyze].
But, what annoyed was the thing that was written.
「Is there a problem with the translation? All I see is a [(?)]」
No explanation or na appeared when I used my [Analyze] but the only thing I saw was a [(?)], I don’t get it…
「Well, the analyze of the effect is unreadable but it will probably be all right… Wait, will it really?」
Since it reacted to my [Analyze], there will be so sort of effect for sure.
「It will be all right.」
I decided to eat this grass.
Though it might hurt my stomach, still, it doesn’t say that it got a lasting effect. I’ll probably get back to my normal state after so ti.
To obtain sothing, you need to sacrifice sothing equivalent…. Even if it’s my own body.
However, I have to do it if I want to get the information.
The worse case scenario would be that it’s the kind of effect that doesn’t appear imdiately but appears at so random ti in the future.
I got goosebumps when I realized that it could be poisonous.
「If I think too much about it, I’ll probably end up not eating it.」
While I still have so determination, I stuff my mouth with the grass at a dash, because I know that I’ll get discouraged if I keep hesitating.
「…. Agghhhhhhhhhhh」
I felt a horrible pain.
「DAMMIT DAMMIT, FUCKIN’ PAIN, hughh….. But, maybe that’s a sign that the healing is working?」
At the mont I try to be a little optimistic.
「What the!?」
My body stiffens and I beco unable to move.
「ugugugugug」 (TLN: I’m not good at sound effects)
My whole body is paralyzed, I can’t move it at all.
This… Was that the effect of the grass? Paralysis?!
But I’m definitely in a state of paralysis, well I think so…I don’t know….
Everything is getting blank, dammit……!
「uguguguh」
My voice is coming out strangely and I feel pain through every part of my stiffened body.
This kept going for a while.
Shit… if that monkey or that wolf cos now, I’m dood.
However, until my paralysis was settled, nothing dangerous approached , so I guess you could say that I was fortunate.
「Ah…」
I started recovering from the paralysis at last.
Let’s sum this up, the paralysis stayed for an hour and my whole body is in pain. That wolf monster did not attack so it probably didn’t see .
「His strength matched the look on his face…」
I don’t want to et with that stare a second ti.
When I was feeling completely worn out, a voice suddenly appeared in my head.
[The Skill ? paralysis resistance? was acquired.]
「What?」
The voice that suddenly appeared out of nowhere startled , but what surprised the most was the skill.
I opened my status and checked my skill column.

Evolution X 1
It beca even worse!?
Shit… even my race is being doubted!
My gender also improved, In a bad way!
I don’t even know if my occupation is better or worse than last ti….
As for the charm, It beca imasurable, am I already too far gone astray?!
Though I’m already feeling bad enough, why is it that the na of my equipnt makes want to cry?
Because I can’t even take a bath, the sll of my body will probably be downgraded as well. And wearing clothes in such a state makes the odor inevitably soak, also, it can’t be helped because it’s full of dirt and dust.
Oh, and what’s with this ? state ? column, and Evolution ×1? Last ti I checked, I didn’t have that…
「Oh, I know. Can’t I just check the content of my skills?」
As I said so, I imagined the skill.
Then, the explanation of the skills appeared in my view.
[Analyze] Allows one to analyze anything in detail. However, the analyze will be incomplete if the target object possesses a certain level of rarity.
[Absolute Disassembly] When you defeat a monster, you obtain the maximum amount of items and the whole monster is available.
[Paralysis resistance] Nullifies the effect of paralysis.
Yes, I get the explanation of [Analyze] and [Paralysis resistance] sohow.
But, what’s whit the explanation of [Complete dismantlent]? Though I can understand the increase of the number of obtained items, what does the part about getting the whole monster ans?
Also, I don’t get the level of rarity thing of the [Analyze] skill. Oh well, I’ll probably get an explanation in the book I got from that god.
「Well, the mysteries are piling up. I still don’t get why I can’t analyze the grass either.」
I judged the remaining grass again while saying so.
[Special paralysis grass] Grass which completely paralyzes one’s body in an instant at the mont when it’s eaten and put inside the body. When a rogue monster eats it by mistake, It is usually paralyzed.
What!? Rather, isn’t this really dangerous!? Moreover, the paralysis seems to be a special skill. I’m glad I have paralysis resistance.
And the rogue monsters who eat it by mistake are too pitiful…….
Whatever, I’m probably not gonna use it anyway. But what’s with this? I analyzed it before and it did not work, why can I analyze it now?
「…… Ah, I get it,」
When I think about it, the answer is quite obvious.
「Even if the analyze was incomplete, sensing the power with my body made its content known or sothing?」
Ehhh…
「Are you fuckin’ kidding ?!」
When you use Realize on sothing, you have to eat it to get rid of those [(?)] and that garbled writing!? You have to go through so much hardships just for that?
Getting information will be this hard!? If I take the sa kind of poison as paralysis every ti, my body isn’t going to last at all!
「Whatever, I’m too tired for that right now……」
I don’t feel like searching any more today…
「There is no helping it, I’ll deal with this tomorrow」
Now I’m just going to rest in order to prepare for the day after.
As I thought so, I found a safe place to sleep, a tree which I sohow climbed and I ended up sleeping there.
But at that ti, I didn’t understand just how strong the [Special paralysis grass] was…
