Eliminated ANT: 0.00013 xp + 0.65 xp (age bonus)

As thought, the age bonus was less than when he wasn't 1 year old yet.

the age bonus was now only 5000 times the original experience point instead of 10000.

But it wasn't a big loss as he couldn't catch anything better than some small insects when he was 3 or 4 months old.

He as become stronger and that means he could catch bigger preys.

That's why he went to investigate around the orphanage.

The perfect spot for now would be the creek next to the river flowing around the village. the small creek was closer to the orphanage than the river, it was full of fishes and little animals living around water spots.

In a certain morning, Elise and Karl walked to the creek.

The water was shallow but there was enough water to have river fish swimming inside of it. It didn't look deep but the water level would be higher than Karl's knees.

"Karl, you wanted to have a water play here?"

"No, I want to catch a fish. Can you help me?"

"Fish? But we don't have any tool. Not even a fishing rod."

"No but we can try to make one."

Karl took long ivy branches from the trees around the creek and made an improvised fishing net. It did look shabby but it probably was better than nothing. (Not like a baby and a small girl could catch a fish with their bare hands).

Along the creek, a bunch of carps were swimming. (*don't ask me why and how there's carps in another world and not some weird or different races of fish.)

Helped by Elise, Karl tried to catch the carps with the fishing net.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

They dipped the net from a certain distance and moved it very slowly until the net was below the little shoal of carps.

"Pull it now!"

Elise and Karl pulled the fishing net made of ivy branches as fast as they could.

Most of the carps managed to swim away safely but there were so many of these that the two kids still caught 5 or 4 carps.

"Karl, we made it! Let's bring these to sister Emmanuella and ask if we could eat the carps for dinner and share with everybody."

Elise was a kind girl. Karl wasn't against it as Elise was a great help to catch the carps and also because everybody in the orphanage helped the sister and the other orphans.

Anyway, before bringing the carps, they had to bleed or kill the fish before their blood spreads in the body due to the extreme stress. This way, the flesh could be kept longer and the taste was better as well.

However, the two kids were not used to bleed them.

That's why, Elise and Karl took wood branches and smashed each carp's head to kill them instantly.

 etc.

One another interesting thing: even when it was Elise who killed the carp, Karl still received experience points and vice-versa. It seems the contribution from the beginning till killing the carps were counted in.

"Wow, I earned experience points, Karl!"

"Congratulation Elise."

"Let's come back again tomorrow! Hihi."

So the two kids went back to the orphanage.

Sister Emmanuella was surprised but she wasn't that surprised because children had to learn how to work and help their family in very early age in this world, like on Earth in the past. (*if you didn't know, even less than half century, children still had to learn how to work and it is still the case in developing countries.)

With the carps, Emmanuella made delicious fish soup and everybody in the orphanage could enjoy the meal.

The next day, Karl and Elise were preparing to go to the creek once again.

"Hey! Wait me!"
