...
“It really worked! Now I won't have to worry about starting a fire!”
Benjamin's face broke into an excited smile.
“It's a pity there are no power lines here, otherwise I might be able to obtain an electric attribute. According to the rules of Initial Space, would it be possible to be struck by lightning?”
Benjamin, who was already beginning to let his imagination run away with him, drifted his thoughts in a strange direction. Fortunately, the little bit of sanity he had left made Benjamin abandon this bold idea (or maybe it was because it hadn't rained recently).
Benjamin tidied up the somewhat chaotic scene and released [Collection] on the poor test subject.
[You have obtained poisonous fang.]
[You have obtained a snake gallbladder.]
[You have obtained beast skin×6.]
[You obtain beast bones x 8.]
[You obtain fresh meat x 12.]
Using the still-burning fire, Benjamin processes the [fresh meat] into recovery items. Noting that there is still some time before dark, Benjamin starts thinking about whether there is anything else he can do. Bored, he checks the harvest from the day, and then Benjamin realizes that he can actually do some interesting things with the materials in his storage space. Using [Unreliable Forging], he transformed a few stones into a small bowl. Then he took out the [Black Corpse Mushroom], [Poisonous Fang], and [Spider Venom Gland], crushed them in the bowl, stirred them, and reheated them, eventually forming a dark, smelly, and pasty substance.
[You have created poison, fulfilling the hidden requirement of this initial space.]
[You have mastered the skill of Pharmaceutical Blending]
[You have obtained a suspicious paste-like substance]

...
As he read the item description, Benjamin's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a slightly cunning smile. His bright eyes gleamed with a sense of satisfaction as if a child had just successfully pulled off a prank.
“Hiahiahiahia, it seems I tricked the system today,”
Benjamin muttered softly, just a little pleased with himself when a prompt suddenly appeared again in front of his eyes.

“Puff, ahem ahem.”Benjamin was drinking from the newly made stone bowl when he saw the prompt that the system had automatically loaned him 2,995 Mystsu Currency. He was so shocked that he sprayed the water in his mouth, which landed unerringly on Fluffy's face. Fluffy's round eyes were full of confusion, as if questioning Benjamin why he had lost his temper like that. Benjamin was truly shocked by this series of prompts. His face was full of shock and surprise.
“I protest! You're abusing your power! You're also a loan shark! Do you have any scruples at all!”Benjamin yelled, his voice seeming to contain not only anger but also a little bit of insincerity and excitement. Perhaps deep down, he also understood the huge potential of this new skill. Looking at the screen in front of him, which gave no response, Benjamin had no choice but to face reality helplessly.
“I hate to admit it, but this is actually a pretty good skill. As long as I keep collecting knowledge about alchemy from all walks of life, it can be useful in various situations,” Benjamin muttered to himself, and a hint of expectation gradually appeared in his eyes. ‘Since this is the case, I'd better hurry up and figure out how to solve the problem of the debt.’As he thought about this, Benjamin glanced at the time.
[Time remaining: 4 days and 6 hours]
[Number of contractors: 10]
“Today is the third day. I need to earn 2,995 Mystsu Currency in the next four days. The only Mystsu Currency I earned before was 5, which was a reward for killing the first forest creature. The task is extremely difficult.”Benjamin frowned slightly, his mind full of pressure. ”Forget it, let's just finish everything I need to do today.”
Benjamin used [Cooking] to process the fresh meat that was not recognized by the system, and the finished product tasted much better than the food he had randomly grilled yesterday. After filling his stomach, Benjamin decided to test the effect of [Alchemy]. He carefully drew the Basic alchemy array on the ground, placed [Beast Skin] and the freshly plucked wild grass in the center of the array, and then slowly channeled his MP into the array. As the MP was consumed, the array began to glow, and the light was like a mysterious magical light, flashing with strange colors. When the light disappeared, there was only a huge piece of beast skin left in the center of the array.
[You obtained Mixed Beast Skin.]
This beast's skin is exactly as Benjamin had imagined in his head: it completely covers the surface of the basket, leaving only an opening that can be closed with a piece of rope. Lying in the re-arranged basket with the beast skin, Benjamin begins to think about the debt he owes.
“They really don't want to make it easy for me, do they? Tomorrow I'll explore a little further afield and see if I can hunt some beasts that are recognized by space.”
“Beasts that are more dangerous should be recognized by space, right?”
Benjamin thought to himself, grabbed Fluffy and placed it behind his head, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
