NOVEL WEB 27- Hunt 1
27- Hunt 1
The guards discussed something and selected a direction and ran in that direction.
After the guards disappeared, my ‘Stealth’ got deactivated as my MP was almost used up and it cannot be maintained.
Although I wanted to ask the system many things, but I know the most important thing right now is to get to a safe place and for that, I need to recover my MP.
And as there are HP potions, I guessed there should be something similar to MP potions too.
So, I ordered the system to show me MP Potions. And just as I thought,
‘ding’
‘MP Potion Lvl 1 = Adds 10 MP (Price= 1000 Sikka)’
‘MP Potion Lvl 2 = Adds 50 MP (Price= 5000 Sikka)’
(Next levels are locked, Host needs to level up)
The price was good enough, so I bought 2 (Lvl 2 MP potion) and 5 (Lvl 1 MP potion). And 15,000 Sikka was deducted. Although, it might look that buying more MP would be better, but I felt that there may be many things that I might need later on, so I bought MP potions in limited quantity.
Until I find a chance to increase my balance, I can only act like a miser.
Then I remembered that due to the human parts being placed in the ring, I even sold the storage ring to the system and now I don’t have anything to carry the things on me.
Luckily before I exposed myself when I got freaked out because of the Human Parts scattered around me in that hollow tree. I had already stuffed the HP potions in the pockets and inside Armor and did not leave these behind.
The HP potions and MP potions are stored in tubes. And easier to carry. The Tubes containing, Lvl 1 HP and MP potions are of about half finger size. While the Lvl 2 HP and MP potions are about the size of a finger. HP has red color liquid filled in the tube, while the MP potion has blue color liquid filled in the tube. (Similar to most of the RPG games)
Although they have a small size, but I cannot always carry them, so I decided to buy the Inventory and the storage box but before that, I need to fill my HP and MP, especially MP to activate the ‘Stealth’ skill to avoid accidentally being discovered.
So, I took 1 (Lvl 2 MP potion) and 3 (Lvl 1 MP potion) and filled my MP bar to its limit.
‘ding’
‘+50 MP’
‘+10 MP’
‘+10 MP’
‘+10 MP’
My MP limit is set at 80 and my level is 8, so it seems for each level up, my MP limit increases by 10 MP.
Similarly, my HP limit is set at 800, so for each Level up, my HP limit increases by 100.
After filling my MP, I immediately activated the ‘Stealth’ skill to hide.
After that, I filled up my HP bar. I used 1 (Lvl 2 HP potion) and 1 (Lvl 1 HP potion)
‘ding’
‘+500 HP’
‘+100 HP’
As both my HP and MP are full. I took a look at my balance and realized that I had about 10.5 million Sikka. Gritting my teeth, I told the system
“System buy ‘Inventory’ and ‘Storage box’”
Although I wanted to save some money but felt that I needed both ‘Inventory’ and ‘Storage Box’ as right now I am in the forest, and according to my knowledge and past life's novels; I can find a lot of medicines, rare ores, or any other material which could be sold in markets for a good price. And if needed I can sell those to the system for ‘Sikka’. Plus, I am in the forest and I am sure I will encounter many animals. And the system can also be used to exchange ‘Sikka’ by selling Animal parts or entire corpses.
‘ding’
‘Inventory and Storage box has been bought and Equipped’
After that, I told the system to buy more than 10 cubic meters of space for the storage box. As I will be needing a lot of space for storing.
With that, I spent 8.1 million Sikka and my balance is about 2.4 million Sikka.
And I got Inventory with 8 slots and a Storage Box with 11 Cubic meters of space.
(Storage box comes with 1 cubic meter of space and bought 10 Cubic meters of space. So, 10 + 1=11 Cubic meters of space)
I summoned the Inventory first, and it has a similar design to the Inventory in the games. The inventory is divided into rows and columns. There are 8 empty spaces. I stuffed the HP and MP potions into the Inventory. And 4 empty spaces got filled. Two spaces have a red tube picture and the other two have a blue tube picture. And there is ‘Lvl’ and number representation in the bottom right corner of the space square, which represents the HP and MP potions- Lvl and Quantity.
Done storing things, I summoned the ‘Storage box’.
The ‘storage box’ shape is of a Cube shape and it is only visible to me but might be invisible to others. And its size is about 1 cubic meter, but it has formed a connection with my mind similar to the storage ring. So, I observed the internal space and found it was about 11 cubic meters of space. And anything can be retrieved with just a single thought when I lock an object with my mind.
I stored my sword in the storage box. And asked the system my doubts,
“System why did I feel uncomfortable and pain when I put 20 points in the ‘Agility’ stat? And why did my MP run out in 5 minutes instead of 7 minutes when I used ‘sprint’?“
‘ding’
‘As host invested lot of free stat points in an instant, and that led to body imbalance.’
‘It is advisable, that host adds Free stat points in a limit at regular intervals, to let the body adapt to changes’
Just as I guessed, my body could not handle so much change in certain ‘stat’ and needs to adapt and adjust to it.
For example, when a person does weight lifting exercises. He should start with low weight and gradually increase weight as his strength increases and his body can adapt to that weight. But if he lifts up a weight, above his body’s limit, then he might get hurt or break his bones.
So, just like that, I need to add ‘free stat points' to my stats in a certain range and let my body adopt according to it. Or else I will feel uncomfortable and pain too. And worst case, my body might get blasted into pieces.
‘ding’
‘As for the MP used up.’
‘The host had 26 MP and used Observation skill 7 times, which requires 1 MP for each time used. hence host miscalculated the MP usage’
Oh, so that’s how it is. I used two times ‘observation’ skills for weapons and armor. While 5 times for the guards.
Thinking about that, I decided to buy more MP and HP Potions worth 100,000 Sikka for each. So, I have to stock up in case of an emergency.
Then, I asked the system
“System, how much MP can I generate per minute?”
‘ding’
‘Host can recover 1 MP per 2 minutes, but due to poisoning; the host can only generate 1 MP per 3 minutes’
‘MP recovery increases and time required decreases as Host levels up.’
