Chapter 9

Back in the house, Oliver and Lorelei prepared food, while Tye hid herself with her new book, meantime Tobias took the mandatory bath. After some time, Tobias came down and started helping with the table, when sashiks were ready, Lorelei started peeling the blue fruit that she bought in the shop. She placed it in the bowl and said,

"The most expensive dessert I've ever made"

[Ocean mango - fruit that grown near the coasts, very similliar in look and taste to common mango.]

"Do you know why it's so expensive?" asked Tobias.

"On the label in the shop it was written, that this fruit grant 4 points in to the agility and endurance up to 40 points of each attribute." explained Lorelei.

"So this fruit is higher tier than the one we found?" guessed Oliver.

"I think so, 4 attribute point up to 20, now it's 8 attribute points up to the 30 mark" responded Lorelei.

"I'll get my sister" said Tobias and went upstairs.

Minute later Tobias and Tye came down and went to the living room. Oliver and Lorelei were almost done with bringing in the food. Everyone sat down and started eating. Oliver started the conversation,

"What book did you buy Tye?" Oliver asked.

"Mana manipulation, it's starting book for anyone who want to use mana outside the simple spells, almost noone sells the ability books with advanced spells, so you need to create your own spells" explained Tye.

"So I'm going to need to buy it too huh?" said Tobias.

"If you want to use magic outside becoming a priest, then yes" responded Tye.

"Learning it should be a good idea." said Lorelei.

"Wow, this really is like mango" exclaimed Oliver while eating his portion of .

[Consumed +1 Agi, +1 End]

"If everything is going to be so good from now on, then it's worth to kill some monsters." Tobias said after the meal.

"Thanks for the meal, I'm buying dessert tommorow" Tye thanked the group.

"I'm going to sleep, good night" said Lorelei while picking the plates.

"Have a good night everyone" said Oliver and went to his room.

Inside the room, Oliver took off the chainmail set and the boots, he folded the chainmail and placed it next to the helmet on top of the drawer. After taking off the jacket and trousers, he placed them on corner of the bed. Noticing that, the bed is larger than before, Oliver tested the quality after the upgrade.

"Wow, it's better what i had back at home" muttered Oliver to himself while touching the sheets.

Within a minute, Oliver rested his head on the pillow and was asleep.

*Ding* *Ding*

Oliver was waked up by loud noise, origin of the noise was system made alarm.

[Day 2]

[Local time 07:00:03]

"5 more minutes" said Oliver and closed his eyes.

*DING* *DING*

"Fine, fine, I'm getting up." Oliver mumbled and noise stopped.

[Local time 07:05:11]

Getting out of the bed, Oliver put on his trousers and jacket, next he donned the chainmail but left coil on the drawer. He left the room and greeted Tye, who went to the bathroom, Oliver went down to the toilet to freshen himself.

Oliver went back up to his room, after wearing room and picking his backpack he left the house in direction of the "Hunter's Hut". Entering the house, he was greeted by the Declan.

"Good morning, you are here for the wolf meat right?" Declan welcomed Oliver.

"Morning, yeah need decent meal before going out." responded Oliver.

Declan chose one of the brown bag from the stack of them and handed it to the Oliver and said "Quality of the meat is higher than expected, we will gladly buy more of the beasts, one Coin please."

[Do you wish to transfer 1 to the Citizen Declan. Y/N]

[Citizen Declan accepted the transfer.]

"Right, do you know, where I can find the future manager?" asked Oliver after succesful transaction.

"All managment people should have their own rooms in office building, ask in there" Declan anwsered the question.

"Thanks, can you prepare boar and wolf meat for later again?" asked Oliver.

"There's still 3 wolf's worth of meat, but boar is sold out. If You want i can prepare a bag if someone bring one again, but no promises." responded Declan.

"Thanks again, I'll come for the meat around 18. Have a good day." Oliver said his goodbyes and left the house.

"Have a good hunt" Declan said to the leaving warrior.

Oliver went to the general shop and bought two loafs of fresh bread and block of butter. 'Back at 0 Coins are we huh?' he thought leaving the shop.

Back at home, Oliver cut the wolf meat into the strips and grilled it on the pan over the fire. While Oliver seasoned the meat with salt and pepper, Tye and Lorelei walked into the kitchen. Tye started helping Oliver with cutting the bread, while Lorelei took out brown bags, filled pot with water and placed it over the fire when Oliver was done with the meat.

"You want coffe or tea?" Lorelei asked the group.

"Coffe for me and my brother, please" anwsered Tye.

"Tea only" responded Oliver.

Lorelei prepared 2 cups of coffe and tea each. While waiting for water to boil, Tye went to wake up Tobias.

"I'm surprised how everyone takes the new world thing so calmly, do you have any idea why is that Lorelei?" Oliver asked to break the silence.

"You didn't ask the guide on the criteria to be chosen?" asked surprised Lorelei.

"He said that it was random" responded puzzled Oliver.

"Ooh, I asked my guide 5 times before he explained that first batch of summoned people was deemed worthy and only next people will be at random." explained Lorelei.

Tobias and Tye walked down the stairs, the group ate breakfast and started planing the day. After the meal, everyone prepared their gear and left the house in direction of the office. Inside the office Lorelei asked for , as the person in question wasn't there, the team was asked to wait.

Ten minutes later kind-looking old man greeted them.

"Good morning, what did you wanted to talk about with this old man?" Adam greeted the party and invited them to the room.

Lorelei showed the fruit and said "Good morning, we came to gift this to community, it was found in our forest"

"Attribute fruit, i saw them in the general shop, cheapest one was for 20 Coins and is supposed to give 4 Strenght point" said Adam while checking the fruit.

"This one gives 4 Vitality, but gained Vitality can't go over 20 points" explained Lorelei.

"Sorry to ask, but do you have any proff that it goes only to 20 points?" asked old man.

"I've gained only 0,5 point of Vitality, going from 19,5 to the 20 points, while Oliver, our warrior didn't get any point while being over 22 points" anwsered Lorelei.

"Thank you for this information, it will help for sure" said Adam.

After some small talk, the group left the office.

Next, they went to the shop for any last second purchase. In the shop Tobias and Lorelei went inside the alleys, while Oliver and Tye waited near the counter.

Oliver asked the salesman "Do you buy anything or only sell?"

"We buy anything, as long as it's of the decent quality." responded the clerk.

"What's the price of ?" inquired Oliver.

"It's the 4 Vitality up to 20 points right? 15 Coins for each fruit" anwsered the salesman.

After shopping, the group walked outside the gate and went the same direction as yesterday.

40 minutes later Lorelei stopped the group.

"Watch out, there's something a head of us" she said.

The party slowed down, after a while they heard battle cry of the goblins.

100 meters ahead of the party, Oliver saw pack of 15 blue goblins circling around pair of giant boars.

[Boar - Forest - Wild forest hog, bigger and stronger thanks to birthplace rich in mana]

After checking the monsters, Oliver warned the group "Their leader highest attribute is wisdom and boars are walking tanks."

"How do you know that? I mean it's obvious that boars are quite healty, but the goblin?" asked suprised Tobias.

"Thanks to tutorial reward, I can see highest attribute" responded Oliver.

While they talked, the bigger boar charged at the goblins, the slowest goblin got impaled by the boar. While boar tried to shake the dead goblin of its tusks, other goblins stabbed it on the sides. Smaller boar charged on one side of the bigger boar trampling two of the goblins.

After short clash team noticed how badly boars were wounded.

"We need to step in soon if we want to claim kills on the boars" said Lorelei.

After quick plan, the party closed in on the monsters.

Tye send fully charged at the smaller boars hint leg blowing it off. At the same time Lorelei used aiming at the goblin leader head, goblin veteran felt the danger, he ducked down and dodged the arrow. Cursing under her breath, Lorelei focused on the weaker goblins.

Oliver and Tobias used chaos created by Tye's explosion to join the fight.

Few minutes later, Tobias and Oliver circled around the small boar carcas trying to shove it into the .

"How it is going?" asked Tye.

"We should be able to bring it back to the " said Oliver.

"I'll take the bag" proposed Lorelei.

Oliver and Tobias picked up the big boar.

"This fat pig weight like half a ton" puffed Tobias.

The party started walking back to the

Back in the , the group went to the "Hunter's Hut".

"Welcome back. Big boar this one." Declan greeted them.

"Hello, we have 2 boars to sell" said Lorelei.

"How big is the second one?"

"Smaller than this one by like 15%"

After short haggling, Lorelei got 80 Coins and 10kg of processed meat for the boars.

The party went back to the house, before group had chance to split up in the house, Oliver asked,

"I want to upgrade the kitchen, care to help me out?"

"Yeah, we need better kitchen, medieval kitchen isn't fun." responded Tye.

Tobias nodded at his sister's remark.

[Citizen Tye wish to transfer you 10 . Accept? Y/N]

[Citizen Tobias wish to transfer you 10 . Accept? Y/N]

[Citizen Lorelei wish to transfer you 10 . Accept? Y/N]

After accepting the Coins, Oliver upgraded the kitchen.

[Room: Kitchen has been upgraded]

[Grade: D -> D+]

"Tye, do you mind to talk about the book you bought yesterday after lunch?" asked Oliver.

"No problem, but you owe me a favor." said Tye.

"Small one and it's a deal" countered Oliver.

"Deal."

Leaving his gear in the room, Oliver walked to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Oliver was greeted by the sound of fried meat.

Tobias was cutting the onions, while standing near the new cooking stove. Noticing irregularity Oliver asked Tobias,

"Didn't we used up all the onions already?"

"I found them in cabinet near icebox" anwsered Tobias while pointing at the corner.

Oliver walked to the pointed out cabinet and opened it up, inside he found same quality of the onions and paprikas as he bought yesterday.

"Weird, there is nothing about re-filling function in the upgrades" muttered Oliver.

Oliver shrugged and took out some paprikas, when Oliver turned around, he noticed soundlessly giggling Tobias.

"Why you laughing, the meat is burning." asked Oliver and pointed at frying pan.

Tobias cursed and quickly flipped the meat. After taking care of the meat Tobias said,

"There's no re-filling function, I just bought it this morning"

"That's bummer, I was hoping for some hidden functions. But thanks for thinking ahead." said Oliver.

"You are welcomed" responded Tobias.

After cooking the food, Tobias shouted outside the kitchen,

"Dinner ready!"

"Coming soon!" shouted back Lorelei.

While Oliver was placing food on the table, Tye walked into the house.

"Perfect timing for the food, wash your hands and come eat" He said.

Tye placed bottle on the table and went to the bathroom.

"Clear spring water" she said while closing the door behind her.

Few minutes later everyone was enjoying simple yet tastefull lunch.
