Morning ca. Together with the rising sun, the horde of beasts slowly moved away.
When the coast was clear, I slowly climbed down the tree and imdiately went towards the stream to drink water. What? Beasts drank at the sa spot? Who cares about that when you're dying of thirst?
After drinking enough water to fill my stomach and hypnotizing myself into thinking that I felt full, I started walking towards the next town. While walking, I started studying the movents of my tad sli.
While I am walking normally, it can easily catch up. Even when I ran at full speed, it was still able to catch up easily. As a test, I asked it to run about a hundred ters back and forth and was surprised that the sli finished it in under 10 seconds. It was twice as fast as even professional sprinters! No wonder the danger level was orange!
It's a bit pathetic to think that my tad sli was way stronger than I am, but what can I do? Although I can earn the skills of tad monsters, I can't do anything about my lacking physique.
Through the special link between the tar and the tad, a ssage was passed. It was more of a feeling than words though, but it was automatically interpreted by the taming system.
[Won't you make stronger?]
The sli wondered out of pure curiosity. Although beasts have lower intelligence compared to monsters, a beast still has enough intelligence to be comparable to a seven-year-old child.who
Its question was a bit vague, but it was probably asking how I plan to train it.
"Well, first, let's raise the proficiency of your skills!"
I quickly responded verbally. Since we are connected through a special link, the beast will understand any form of communication from its tar, be it verbal or telepathic.
The training thod I described wasn't sothing I thought about on the spot, though. Based on my 18 years of mory in this world, the concept of skill proficiency was vague. The most common idea was that skills increase in proficiency through actual battles, but that wasn't the root of it.
As a person who has had the experience of playing countless gas, watching countless movies, and reading countless novels, I can confidently say that skill proficiency is learned through regular use of the said skill. So, conversely, if you spam the skill even when you have no target, then you can earn easy skill proficiency!
"Listen closely; to earn skill efficiency quickly, we will chain your skills together!"
I excitedly explained my plan to the sli. First, the sli would use [Tackle] diagonally upwards and forward. Then, when falling, use the [Playing Dead] skill. After landing, use [Tackle] again and repeat.I think you should take a look at
At first, the sli failed to chain the skills. It would only be able to activate the [Playing Dead] skill after it landed. After several more tries, it managed to pull off the combo but failed to chain the next [Tackle] after the [Playing Dead] skill.
It took hundreds of trials and errors spanning several hours before the sli managed to chain the skills perfectly. The sli even learned how to change the direction of the [Tackle] as it circled as I walked slowly.
As I was getting so hungry that my vision started blurring, I started foraging for food in the forest beside the highway. I picked berries, fruits, mushrooms, herbs, and other things that I recognized as edible or worth sothing when sold. Especially the herbs and fruits that can be used for concocting pills and potions.
As an orphan, differentiating poisonous food from normal food was ingrained in . It was a byproduct of eating anything I could get my hands on when I was still young. The knowledge about herbs and such was sothing I learned to survive, earning what little change I could scrape together.
Since I got too engrossed in my foraging, I needed to make a temporary bag using the wide leaves of so trees. I placed the foraged food and others inside the makeshift bag and carried them on my back. Rather than a bag, it was more of a basket, though.
Soon, we reached the gates of the city. As I was passing through the gates, a guard stopped .
"Stop! Identify yourself!"
Although I knew it was part of their procedures, his tone was sothing that should be directed at a criminal, not an innocent civilian. However, for my na, I got into a bit of thought. In the slums, I was given the na Cloud because they said that I always drifted away without them noticing. However, in my past life, I was nad Will. For so reason, I can't rember what my last na was.
After agonizing between the two, I ended up choosing my old na, Will. This was not only to lose any pursuers looking for "Cloud" but also to mark the beginning of my new life as a tar.
"I'm Will, and this is my tad sli."
I introduced myself and my sli to the guard. After looking at the two of us scrutinizingly, he finally said "Enter" and allowed us inside.
I quickly went towards the market and sold what I could sell to appropriate stalls. All in all, I earned more or less 5,000 Credits selling randomly foraged goods. For reference, a single regular al costs about 300 Credits, while a night's stay in an inn would cost at least 2,500 Credits a night.
In short, I only earned enough to stay one night and feed myself for a couple of days. I could save so living costs by sleeping on a random park bench or in a secluded alley too; however, that cos with increased risks. Looking back on it, I guess I was lucky in the past since I'm still alive and kicking up to this day. Now, however, with my previous life's mories revived, I would think twice before sleeping in a random park or alley.
For now, my primary objective would be to earn more money, and as soon as possible!
