Climbing out of the sewers, Adam had a thick stench of waste around his body and had a sabre on his back, held by his clothing.
There was an outline of the blade, but it was much less obvious than holding it in his hand and it was the best he could in the current situation.
Looking up, Adam saw that it was still bright outside, but looking through the drain for a few minutes, Adam didn't see any people pass over it and climbed out.
He had struck gold and the sewage drain, he was leaving from, was situated in an alleyway.
Adam could weirdly recognise the alleyway and looking around himself he suddenly rembered that it was the alleyway that he was sleeping in on the fateful night he gained the Dungeon System.
"What a coincidence" mumbled Adam reminiscently.
"I will stay in this alleyway for the night and after entering the dungeon I will leave early and return to my apartnt in the night" planned Adam, seeing that as one of his only options.
Sitting in the corner of the alleyway, leaning against the wall, Adam reflected on his day.
[I seem to have gained the favour of the Silver Moon Auction House, and could request help from them in the future, which is great as they seem quite wealthy and powerful. I also gained this C- Rank weapon. But, I lost the reward for my achievent, that could have been sothing much more powerful if I was in another situation, but overall I gained more than I lost and my identity was not revealed, so I am happy] summarised Adam.
He had managed to form another identity for himself, which he decided he would keep separate from his own and use at tis, as it would allow him to use his strength without people actually knowing who he really was.
"Now I have so ti I can question the system on everything I don't know and if I still have more ti until 10 I can ditate" mumbled Adam, not wanting to waste ti.
[System explain what the lucky dip is] ordered Adam, wanting to know what he could have gained if he used it in a different situation.
{Well while I was explaining it before I was rudely interrupted. But I was planning to do so charity work anyway so will explain to you} stated the system arrogantly.
The system despite its robotic and monotonous voice seed to have a personality and intelligence, making Adam wonder what or who the system was, and why was he given the opportunity to beco the Hunter of the Dungeon System.
It also seed to be talking to Adam more and more in both the Dungeon and in reality, which he felt, despite the system being annoying at tis, was useful.
But just like with Cole and everything else he was coming across in the world of cultivation, Adam knew he would eventually co across the answers to his questions when the ti was right, so he suppressed his curiosity for the ti being.
{The lucky dip can provide the host with anything that can be found in the store including skills, weapons and miscellaneous items, corresponding to your current rank, which is the Mortal Rank. Because of the host's enhanced luck, the host gained sothing useful for himself at that mont, but at the sa ti the host missed out on the possibility of gaining sothing better. Although it was only a C Rank Lucky Dip, so didn't have a high possibility of gaining sothing of a high rank} continued the system.
"So, Lucky Dips are split into ranks, with the luck increasing with the ranks, and I can only gain sothing corresponding to my cultivation rank"summarised Adam to himself.
Adam sat bored in the alleyway and thought of anything else he had that was left unexplained to ask the system about it.
[Okay, I understand what you said before, but I have another question. What is that weird feeling I feel while ditating as if ti goes past quickly and I leave my body] asked Adam within his mind.
{Ding, The host has created his own skill known as Ethereal Recovery} announced the system.
[What, how did I do that] he exclaid within his mind in shock.
{While the host was attempting to ditate, the host accidentally ford his own skill. The host's body is not suitable for cultivation and is unique to hunting in the Dungeon System, but while the host was attempting to ditate, the host had unconsciously absorbed energy into the host's body in a similar way to what cultivators would, which ford the skill} explained the system.
[So what can it do] asked Adam excitedly, rembering how useful and powerful the Collector Skill was.
{Well if you used your intelligence for once, you would have figured it out} stated the system ridiculingly.
Hearing the system, Adam instead of getting angry realised the truth behind the system's words and how he was becoming too reliant on it.
[From what I can tell from entering that ditative state I seem to leave my body as ti passes really quickly without realising. I also feel energised and calm after entering that 'ethereal' state, which must be similar to what cultivators feel. So it must be a skill that allows to rapidly recover my MP, HP and ntal state after entering that ethereal state] gathered Adam.
{You are exactly right. If the host uses his intelligence for once, then the host is actually quite capable. The host has ford a rapid recovery skill that recovers 10 HP and 1 MP every 5 minutes, aning it will take the host just over 2 hours to completely recover from completely exhausting the host's MP and it will calm the host's mind} affird the system.
"That is amazing" exclaid Adam joyously.
He could now exhaust his MP without worry within the Dungeon, knowing that it would only take 2 hours to recover his energy.
But Adam noticed that the system didn't say that, if he exhausted his HP, he would be able to recover, aning death was still enivatable if his HP fell to 0.
