CHAPTER 7 – FIRST FAILURE AND LUCKY HIT
----------------------------------------
[/hr]
Be it greed or stupidity, our dear heroine was currently struggling with her samples. Rabbits were considered small animals, but to a Level 1 player without strength boost, they weigh much. Also, remembering that she picked the two biggest ones, as well as, they were still alive and kicking, it wasn't an easy task.
“Isn't that the cute professor? What is she doing again?”
“Those rabbits seems to be still alive, is she doing some animal testing?”
“Lets follow her to find out”
“It has to be more interesting then loitering around since I can't leave the city”
“This time, lets keep a distance, she likes to perform sudden actions”
Unbeknownst to her, Bunny got an entourage following her again, albeit in a distance.
*****
Taking short-cut through a small park, Bunny tripped on an exposed root. Crashing forward, she landed on her face. The rabbits she tucked under each arm we forced to head-butt the ground; They didn't like that, turning aggro towards Bunny. If Alan went for size instead of proportions, he might have avoided this crisis.
You lost 7 Health Points (-7 Health)
You lost 9 Health Points (-9 Health)
You lost 8 Health Points (-8 Health)
Struggling from the gnawing rabbits, Bunny only managed to free herself after taking multiple hits. She pull some distance then lowering her center of gravity, using a crouching stance. After a few seconds looking at each of her enemies, Bunny launching herself towards the larger one, deftly grabbing its lower jaw with one hand, while circling the other hand around its neck, then twisted. Rabbit's head turned unnaturally and fell paralyzed on the floor.
Using the opening, the other rabbit bit Bunny's forearm, slightly below her left elbow. The pain subsided quickly as Bunny felt the familiar sensation of 'Healing Hands'. Glancing around to see her ally, Bunny decided to use a drastic move; Pressing her right palm onto the rabbit's head, she started spinning using the rabbit as a hammer (the athletic event, not the tool). Spinning at a constant pace, she moved towards a tree and smash the body into the tree-trunk. With both enemies taken care of, Bunny sat down dizzy.
After recovering, Bunny, ignored the small crowd that formed, went over to a young female priest, her benefactor. Like a Knight facing a Lady, Bunny took her hand and kissed it, before saying: “Thanks for the healing, I appreciate it very much”
The reaction she got was off, the priest was blushing furiously, and uttered uneasily: “Your clothes.”
Looking at herself, Bunny found her newbie shirt in tatters, the struggle she just had, torn it badly; Her un-removable bra and trim tummy were exposed by the holey shirt. Instead of blushing and shying away, Bunny leaned forward, acting like kissing her cheek, she whispered:
“I'm going punish those onlookers but I need to salvage the carcass first, stay around and watch.”
Turning to her audience, Bunny announced: “Can anyone lend me a hunting knife or dagger.”
One lecherous looking hunter stepped forward passing her a knife. With it, Bunny began to disassembling her prize, packing away the skin and meat. Standing up, Bunny approached the hunter, first returning the knife, then circling her arms around his neck, leaning her head forward until her mouth was right next to his ear.
“You are so my type, just hugging you make my d*** so hard I want to pump you right here, right now.” She whispered seductively, while moving her hands smoothly down his body, and gave his butt a tight squeeze before leaving the stunned man.
Back at the center of attention, Bunny first unequipped her vest, showing off a nearly topless, but well proportioned body, then addressing everyone in a loud voice:
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
“Hello everyone, thank you for gathering, I am the representative from a Gay Dating site. Our member count has declined recently, therefore we decided to use RR as a new platform. We are using these type of cute lithe bodies, so feel free to ravage us as long as you pay for the inn. We will require you to use the backdoor... if you know what I mean. Also, if you have Elvish, Loli or Melon fetish, we can accommodate to those request too... Since I am not allowed to advertise our website in speech, please approach me and add me as friend, I will PM you the details.”
Most people in the crowd, which numbered more then 100, had jaws dropped. The priest who helped Bunny earlier was sighted behind the crowd, struggling not to break-down laughing. As logic dictated, nobody approached to register. Those who regain their composure quickly and quietly dispersed. Some girls loitered around tempted to ask about body sculpting techniques, but didn't want to be associated with a Gay Dating site.
Seeing the crowd has thinned, Bunny repaired her shirt and equipped it, she also repaired all her other gears. After taking out a needle, threads and all her leathers from her bag, she activated her skill “Tailor Cloak”. Rather the risking failure by doing it manually, she rather rely on the skill to make a plain but successful product. The cloak design she bought indicated she needed all 5 pieces of leathers she own to make one.
Bunny's hand started moving automatically. In a few minutes, a very simply cloak was produced.
Greater Newbie Cloak
Durability 20/20
Defense: 2
A simple cloak that came with a hood made by a beginner Tailor.
Made from rabbit fur, it gives the user a warm fuzzy feeling.
Restrictions: Level 1.
Equip: Raises Health by 50.
It was a lucky hit.
Bunny only wanted a hood to hide her face, as she didn't want gay men contacting her. She didn't expect to make anything with bonuses using her pathetic tailoring. The outcome made her extremely happy, overriding the disappointment of failing to gain rabbits.
Humming a nameless tune, Bunny headed towards the Chicken Farm. Somewhere along the way, she slipped into an empty alleyway to equip her cloak, then continued onwards incognito.
*****
Reaching the Farm, Bunny was greeted by an old man whom she wasn't acquainted with.
“Hello young adventurer” The old man greeted
“Hi grandpa, I am Bunny, how may I address you?” Bunny replied politely while lowering her hood.
“You can call me Silva or grandpa Silva, and how may I help you?”
“I wanted to buy some cages.”
“That is rare. I can't even remember when I last sold a cage, come this way.”
The old man led Bunny to the shed in the farm, showing her different cages.
“There are weaved, wooden and iron ones. What are you intending to keep?” Silva asked
“I am thinking of keeping rabbits, breeding and growing them.”
“A rabbit farmer huh? Seldom see adventurers wanting to become producers”
“I am not one yet, it is more of a trial run. I will only commit if it worked out well.” an earnest reply.
“Well, I would recommend using iron cages, they are more expensive but last longer.”
Accepting the recommendation, Bunny bought 2 iron cages which she estimated to hold up to 4-5 rabbit each. She bought a small cart as well, to move the cages more easily. Overall, Bunny had to spend around 5 gold, which she considered an investment. She also found out that Grandpa Silva sells lots of things including animal feed and vegetables, thus decided to make this farm her new 'Base of operations'.
Securing the cages onto the cart after stocking up, Bunny started pushing her cart towards a closer destination, the North gate. Even when she fell before starting, she was once again set on her simple plan.
i.e. Buying Rabbits and making them fight the Rats in the sewers.
