Capítulo 44: Beginner's item bundle.
" Good morning mom. "
Greeted Leon, after arriving at the kitchen and saw his mother cooking their breakfast. .
He hugged his mother from behind for awhile before letting her go and sat down in front of the dining table.
" Good morning, you woke up early. " Christina replied with a smile, not expecting this 'straight up' son of hers can also be this sweet sometimes.
Leon had just finished washing his face and having nothing else to do, he came here to eat breakfast.
His eyes are still half closed indicating the sleepiness he is feeling at this moment.
" Where's dad? "
" I don't know. Your father left very early this morning, saying that he need to take care of something important. "
"...."
" But he didn't tell me what it is when I asked him. * sigh * That man, he is keeping secrets to me now too. You better not be like him okay, Leon? "
Christina put a cup with chocolate powder inside in front of Leon and poured hot water in it.
" Drink this first. Breakfast will be ready in a few more minutes. "
" Thanks mom, take your time. "
Leon wasn't that hungry yet anyway.
He picked up the spoon on the side and used it to stir the chocolate inside his cup before taking a sip.
' That's delicious.. '
Leon of course knew why his father left early today. But there's no way he can tell that to his mother right? So he can only shut his mouth.
" You look prettier today mom, and happier too. Did something good happened? " asked Leon curiously after noticing something different to her mother.
Hearing what he said, Christina's face turned red. Remembering what happened last night was too much, even for her.
" R-really? * giggles * Thank you Leon, you are so sweet. Nothing happened, nothing happened. I'll go and see the dish I'm cooking. See you later. "
Christina then went inside the kitchen after saying that.
She seemed to be in a hurry to leave, which made Leon even more confused and also, curious at the same time.
But he didn't ask any further.
Shaking his head, he continue drinking his chocolate.
[ Good morning, Leon. ]
The familiar mechanical voice once again rung inside his head, greeting him.
It's quite a surprise for Leon as he didn't expect that. It seems like his system is more human like than he thought.
If not for its mechanical voice of course.
" Mn. Good morning too. " Leon greeted back, still drinking his hot chocolate.
[ The beginner's bundle is already available. Do you want to take a look at it now, Leon? ]
Leon became confused. " Bundle? What do you mean? Let me see. "
[ Affirmative. ]
A transparent screen then magically appeared in front of Leon. There's a golden text written on it that looks like a list.
• Infant slime (x1)
• Basic Martial arts techniques
• Basic body training method (High human edition)
• Mysterious Map
• Infant rat (x1)
• 1 UP (x1)
• Life Force Introduction (Locked)
Leon just stared at the screen with a blank expression on his face. His eyes opened and closed as he read the texts written on the screen again and again, making sure that he didn't read it wrong.
" System these things are.....for real? "
[ Yes. Everything written on that list are all real. You can use them anytime you want. ]
Leon was filled with excitement almost instantly. Especially the 'You can use them anytime you want' part.
That is just like a music in his ears!
But despite his excitement, Leon still tried his best to calm himself down to avoid embarrassing himself.
" Show me these item's explanation first and how they work. "
[ Affirmative. ]
The screen in front of him changed once again, adding some extra texts in it.
• INFANT SLIME - a unique slime known for its endless appetite. Will produce a clone every 6 months if fed accordingly.
• BASIC MARTIAL ARTS TECHNIQUES - contains all the basics in all kinds of martial arts in history. Helps the user to have a very stable foundation.
• BASIC BODY TRAINING JOURNAL (High human edition) - a body training method the system created exclusively for the Host.
• MYSTERIOUS MAP - a mysterious map that records all of the places the user had been to. Origin - unknown.
• INFANT RAT - a seeker rat that can find anything or anyone it saw once. Search area limited only in diameter of 500 meters.
• 1 UP - an extra life. Can be use by anyone with the Host's permission. One time use only.
• LIFE FORCE INTRODUCTION (Locked) - can only be open after the user achieve a strong enough body.
[ After careful analysis, these are all the items that I, the system believes that can help you reached your current goals, Leon. Please use them well, good luck. ]
" AMAZING! " Leon can't help but exclaimed.
His excitement rose by another level after reading the items description alone. Different ideas on how to use those things also entered his mind.
" System, what's Life Force? Why can it only be open after I have a strong enough body? "
[ Because there's no point in knowing it for now, Leon. It will only distract you. If you are curious about it, then start training immediately to strengthen your body. ]
" Then what's the use of showing it to me? Didn't you told me yesterday that I am already stronger than any ordinary adult? That's not enough? "
[ It's far from enough, Leon. Although you did become stronger after the enhancement I did to your body, it is still far from enough to handle Life Force. You'll realize it someday when you reach that level. I only showed it to you now so you'll have something to look forward to. ]
Leon become silent after that. He is digesting all of the things the system said until now.
He can tell that the system really don't plan on telling him anything about Life Force yet so he decided not to ask about it any further, despite his curiosity. He already knew how stubborn the system was, based on his previous interactions with it.
" What about the slime then? Isn't its endless appetite makes it dangerous? " he asked.
Leon had read a lot of stories about aliens before or other creatures that have endless appetite and it's scary. None of those stories ended well.
[ Not at all, Leon. Despite its endless appetite, this kind of slime is very obedient. It will do everything you tell it so you only have to give it a few restrictions and everything will be fine. ]
"...."
[ Also, you can feed it with anything, but the first thing it will eat will be the only thing it will eat for the rest of its life so be careful. Its offsprings will also be the same. ]
" I see. That's good to know. "
Leon let out a small sigh.
The slime is really useful but he found a big problem.
That was.... its number.
Leon currently only have one and he will have to wait for 6 months before he can get another. That's a bit too slow.
" Is there.... any other way to get more of this slime? "
[ There is, you can buy them with points. ]
" Points? What do you mean? "
[ All of these items are available in the shop. With enough points, you can buy as many as you want. Once you started receiving missions from me, you will be rewarded with points if you completed them. ]
" Missions huh. Do I have one already? Show me it to me! "
[ Sadly, there's none yet. Host had just integrated with the system and is simply too weak at the moment. ]
"...."
[ You will also receive a different amount of points in every mission but it is still very early for you. I recommend you enjoy your life to the fullest for the time being, Leon. ]
"...."
Leon was speechless.
That's no different from telling him 'he's useless' right now, wasn't it?
" Show me the shop that you are talking about first then. I want to take a look. " commanded Leon after awhile.
[ Affirmative. ]
The screen in front of him then changed once again and a long list of things in different kinds appeared.
• INFANT SLIME - 1000 points.
• BASIC MARTIAL ARTS TECHNIQUE - 3000 points.
• BASIC BODY TRAINING JOURNAL (High human edition.) - 7000 points.
...
" These... seriously?! " exclaimed Leon after reading a small part of it.
" Hey hey hey! These things are a bit... too much wasn't it?! This isn't a fantasy you know? The things in the free bundles are already insane but these things here below.... how can these kind of things even possible? "
Leon saw a lot of very shocking items below the things he already have because of the free bundles he received.
[ Fufufu. It is very possible, Leon. I told you before, right? With me here, everything is possible. You can buy anything on that list as long as you have enough points. If only it will not go against my purpose of being here, I would have given you more. ]
" Really? Then... then..... WHY ARE THEY ALL SO EXPENSIVE! " Leon can't help but shout inside his mind.
The prices of those things are insane. There's even some items that have a value of millions of points! It will surely take him years to buy that.
[ Fufufu. They are not expensive at all, Leon. They are actually very cheap if you consider how useful they are right? With enough time and effort, you surely can buy them. ]
" As if that's easy to do. " he complained.
Leon continue scrolling down the list in front of him. " Damn, these things are really insane. Any of these items that cost millions of points was capable of solving almost every problems of the world right? It is like cheating. "
[ Hmm.. that's right. These items can indeed solve quite a lot of global problems but not everything. ]
[ Besides, from the moment you reincarnated in this world, you are already cheating. I will randomly give you missions that you have to do and you will earn a significant amount of points if you can accomplish them. ]
[ See you later. ]
" Hmm? What do you me- "
* Creak *
" Leon! Auntie! Good morning! "
' I see. Your senses never failed to surprised me. ' whispered Leon to the system in his mind.
As the door opened, Leon quickly saw the little girl, Carla as she bolted inside the house.
" Good morning too, Carla. " Leon said as he stood up and caught the running little girl with his arms. " How many times do I have to tell you that there's no running inside the house huh? Are you even listening to me? "
" * giggles * I'm sorry, Leon. " apologized Carla while she's being held by Leon in his arms.
" You never stop doing it though.. "
Leon helplessly let her go.
" Good morning auntie Pauline. "
" Mn. Good morning too, Leon. Where's your mother? "
" In the kitchen. "
" Oh, I'll go there then. See you later, Leon. Please take care of Carla for me. " Pauline then went inside the kitchen after she finished saying that.
* sigh *
Leon let out a small sigh as he watched Pauline's beautiful figure entered the kitchen.
Shaking his head, he once again turned his attention to Carla. " Take a seat first, Carla. Breakfast will be ready soon. "
