There was a loud thud in the forest.
"That makes fifteen."
He had managed to hunt 15 wild boars within five days.
Grim would devour all he could and sell the rest of the corpse to the system. He had managed to earn 600 Evo, which was less than the last time he hunted.
However, he didn't have to mass hunt as before for the points.
The following day, he opened the shop.

[Weekly Ability Refresh Ticket: 1]
"Looks like the last refresh used up all my luck. There is no useful ability here."
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Grim gave up on it and decided to wait for the next refresh. He went for the hunt as usual for the coming days.
However, his hunting came to a halt on the fifth day.
He had managed to hunt about ten wild boars. However, he encountered their leader when he was about to go for the 11th.
It had silver skin, and it gave off a deadly aura.
Grim felt suffocated just by being in the same area as it, and he could feel the pressure mounting on him.
"It must be 10-20 times stronger than wild boars."
If Grim were to confront it right now, he would be slapped to death if it got his hands on him. So, he decided to fly away swiftly.
After an hour of flying, he spotted a pack of wolves. Unlike wild boars, they stuck together most of the time. He gave up on them and flew west towards the lake.
He was greeted by a beautiful lake when he reached there.
Fish were swimming freely, birds were playing, and animals were drinking on the shoreline.
Most of the lake was light cyan. However, one could spot a light golden aura in the deeper part.
Most of the beasts had the same aura as the wild boars.
"Most of them are in the mutation realm." Thus, his hunting began.
He hunted continuously for a week. By the time he had stopped, there were mountains of corpses.
He decided to devour a fraction of flesh from all of his prey in hopes of gaining some ability. He could feel minuscule QI entering his body every time he consumed.
The changes brought by Qi were starting to become visible. His body had strengthened to some degree and his feathers were glowing light gold.
If a cultivator saw him, they could tell he was halfway from the start point of cultivation.
While he was gloating about his changes. Suddenly, he heard a notification.
"The ability 'contract' has evolved to a major level, now the strength can be multiplied up to 10 times."
"The ability 'storm' has evolved to a minor level, and the lightning damage has been increased."
"Host has obtained the ability 'reap' from the mutated antelope."
"Host can now start gathering Qi from nature."
"I finally got it. Now, I don't have to go around hunting every time." He was thrilled to have the ability.
Now, he could finally begin his journey toward cultivation.
