Bab 42: Chapter 42
Chapter 42 Clover Town
"Have you kept everything I gave you? Your sword, your armour, healing potions, mana potions, and the skill books?" Felberta questioned.
"Don't worry, I have kept everything, although I will repeat what I said before, the armour you gav-"
"Yeah, I don't care. Nothing is more important than your life. If you came back with broken armour, rather than being mad, I would be happy that it could be used to save you. I can always buy new armours, no problem."
"But that is a 3-star armour! That's your family treasure; you can't buy it with money!"
"Yeah yeah, the same thing" Felberta completely ignored his words and waved her hands nonchalantly before her expression turned serious.
"Just come back safely okay?"
"Mhm," Nux smiled as he kissed her soft lips. He then repeated the same thing action with Skyla and Lane.
"I'll be back soon"
The three nodded as they accompanied Nux outside the mansion.
Nux waved his hands as a farewell sign as he walked away.
…
As Nux was walking toward the wilderness, he smiled when he remembered their worried looks and shook his head.
He was really lucky to have them.
He then sorted the other things he gained in these last few days.
First, the skill books.
As a viscount, Felberta had four 1 star skill books, each belonging to different elements. These skill books were given to her most loyal and trusted subordinates, as for what element skill they receive, it depends on their elemental affinity.
Skyla, for example, had a medium rank Wind affinity, and Lane had a medium rank Earth affinity. Therefore the two of them received the Gale Steps and Earth Fists techniques respectively.
When Nux's talent was examined, it showed that he had a low level with all the basic elements, which was not enough for him to cultivate any of these skill books.
However, two days later, Nux requested to test himself again and surprisingly, it showed that now he had a medium level affinity with every basic element.
Nux understood how it worked.
The 'talent' in his system doesn't represent the cultivation speed, it shows the level of affinity a person has with a certain element.
At first, he indeed had low-level talent but after a few sessions with Skyla and Lane, he gained their talent as well.
He first concluded that the talent drop rate was low therefore he didn't get it in just one session, but now he learned that it was not that the drop rate was low.
He was receiving their talent from the first time they had sex, but the system was distributing it to all his elements simultaneously, hence slowing the process.
So right now, he had four 1 star skill books, a 2-star sword, a few mana and Healing potions, and a 3-star armour in his system inventory, this all would have cost him 110 System points (he cannot buy potions from the shop yet) if not for his Felberta.
Of course, he also used all his System points to buy a 2 star Body Cultivation Skill, The Nine Strikes Of Sword, from the system.
Yes, he bought a body cultivation skill because his body was 2 times stronger than a normal cultivator. Also, body cultivation skill books were already very rare in this world, so he would be able to surprise his opponent at the last moment.
Not only that, but he also found that, unlike the normal skill books where he has to read and decipher everything on his own, the skill books bought from the system could already be cultivated to the beginner stage after buying it.
The levels of mastery of a skill book go by, Novice, Beginner, Small Achievement, Big Achievement, Master, Perfection, and finally, Assimilation.
And he was already at the beginner stage.
Nux smiled as he again realized how awesome his system is, he then activated his Steps Of Gale, and increased his speed.
The Blood Hill Wilderness was on the outskirts of the kingdom, where they live in the capital city. The journey was roughly around 700 km far. If he took the carriage, it would take him about a day to reach there, but he wasn't planning to.
He was planning to train his speed using this chance and wanted to reach there within 3-4 hours while running nonstop. Of course, it wouldn't be too hard on himself if he failed to achieve it but he would try his best.
"Alright! Let's start!"
Nux roared excitedly after he left the capital city, he stretched his legs, and then his back before jumping a little.
He then looked above, It was already 4 pm, the sun was still shining brightly but he knew in just an hour or so, it would set. He sighed as he started running.
…
"Haah… Haa… Haah…"
Nux breathed heavily as he finally reached the last town before his destination. It was already 10 when he reached here and he wasn't dumb enough to directly enter this dangerous forest without any rest.
And yes, he failed to achieve his goal by two hours but that wasn't his fault.
He completely ignored the time he would have to line up to enter the city gates. He even felt that he had to stay in a city for a night before coming to the wilderness but the farther away he moved from the capital city, the lesser and lesser the city gates appeared.
In the end, he didn't even have to stop and crossed 4 cities in one go before reaching here.
This town was called Clover Town. Since this town was closest to the Blood Hill Wilderness and was constantly attacked by star beasts, the people have already abandoned it, and the only people staying here were adventures that came here to hunt the star beasts.
Nux walked towards an inn, he booked a room before taking a bath since he was too sweaty after running.
"Haah~" He sighed in relief as he jumped into the bed and slept.
Author Notes: Yeah, I know, kind of a boring chapter, I felt the same...
I just rushed it since it wasn't important. I wasn't planning to extend his trip for 3-4 chapters or something. Let's just get over the boring part...
