The Place Where Everything Begins

Chapter 114 - Alone Within The Tutorial Chamber (4)



Half an hour later...

Within the tutorial chamber, where a sizeable green Crystal was floating silently in the middle, outlander corpses now laid and scattered everywhere, making it not even have a place for people to walk comfortably anymore.

The floor was soaked and drenched with creatures' blood everywhere, causing a splatting noise every time a person took a step on it. Meanwhile, various places were also littered with internal organs, amputated limbs, and bone pieces.

It was such a terrifying sight for any onlooker...

At first glance, anyone would know that a sanguinary and gory battle had just taken place here and finished not long ago...

*Huff* *Huff*

Suddenly, huffing noises rang out within the quiet chamber, causing the dead silent atmosphere earlier to be broken so suddenly.

Right now, within the green Crystal's proximity, Jeremy was seen to be huffing incessantly while standing near a green skin hobgoblin's corpse.

*Plush*

Jeremy promptly pulled the spear out from the corpse ahead of him with a plushing sound.

'Why is it so tired anyway?' Jeremy thought briefly to himself after feeling sore all over his body from wielding the spear and moving the body endlessly in the past thirty minutes.

To be honest, Jermy had truly run a lot in the arduous battle earlier,...

At the time, Jeremy had decided to use a kiting tactic like the last time to lure the monsters away and chip their numbers bit by bit. Subsequently, from the moment more than ten white wolves had rushed out from inside of the two passageways, Jeremy baited them far away from the entrances and killed them one by one.

Due to the tactic, Jeremy managed to slaughter more than three hundred outlanders comprised of many races in the end, albeit it had required him more than half an hour to accomplish it.

Promptly, when Jeremy was huffing roughly...

...

More than 336 notifications popped up in front of the huffing Jeremy at a breakneck speed like someone was commencing spam of stickers in his chat...

*Sigh...*

Jeremy suddenly let out a sigh from his nose as he closed his eyes in tiredness...

Or he might close his eyes in irritation at the spamming instead?

After some seconds, the annoying notifications finally disappeared from Jeremy's sight, as he thought to himself,

'From the rough calculation, I should have made more than 13,000 SP from this fight. It means I can buy more skills then...'

Having thought so, Jeremy dragged his feet towards the green Crystal, intending to buy skills again...

Shortly after avoiding monster corpses left and right along the way, Jeremy finally arrived before the Crystal.

Then he reached his left hand out to touch it, and a transparent window promptly appeared before him.

Afterward, Jeremy accessed the skills list and scrolled down directly towards the high number of skills to see if there was still any useful skill left to be bought or not.

...

Skill no.164, [Knife Throwing]

Skill no.185, [Breathing Control] (Sold out)

Skill no.186, [Eagles Eyes] (Sold out)

  ...

After seeing the skills list in front of him, Jeremy entered his shopping mode again,

'Hibernate? What a useless skill... Hypnotism? I don't need such a thing as I have so many means to imitate its properties... Well, so there is no more useful skills from number 160 onwards anymore. Then let me take a look at the early numbers...'

'Hmm...'

'Martial Arts? It might be useful as I sometimes let out a punch or two, but I still mostly use a spear to fight, so let's put it as the last choice... Knife Throwing and Called Shot? No...'

'Then this one...'

'Also, this one...'

'Not this one...'

'This one might work...'

Right now, Jeremy could even make countless ladies on Earth ashamed of his shopaholic capability as he was very demanding when it came to his own power upgrading.

After a few minutes had passed, the shopaholic Jeremy had finally decided...

'Alright, let's go with these skills...' Jeremy thought to himself while looking at the interface in front of him...

...

[Would you like to buy skill no.135, [Combo Strike] for 4,182 SP?]

[Would you like to buy skill no.139, [Surpassing Strength] for 4,401 SP?]

[Would you like to buy skill no.151, [Calm Mind] for 4,990 SP?]]

[Yes │ No]

...

After calculating his total SP and thinking about the usefulness of various skills, Jeremy concluded in buying three skills comprised of two skills that would benefit him in melee combat and another mind-related skill that would help him in meditation and some other situations.

Then Jemery willed his mind to choose the 'Yes' option. Simultaneously, a transparent window changed into another one...

...

[A total of 13,573 SP have been deducted from your SP account]

[You have received the [Combo Strike] skill]

[You have received the [Surpassing Strength] skill]

[You have received the [Calm Mind] skill]

[You currently have 149 SP remaining]

[There will be no explanation about how to upgrade the skills further; you have to explore and upgrade those skills by your own self. Good luck.]

...

Combo Strike (Basic - Passive Skill): Boost the chances of your physical attacks being connected and linked with one another by 9%.

Surpassing Strength (Basic - Passive Skill): When you unleash a physical attack, your strike will be heavier and stronger by 4%.

Calm Mind (Basic - Passive Skill): Boost the control over your mind, leading it to a state of serenity, tranquillity, and peace quicker by 8%.

...

Upon seeing the three new skills were bought successfully, Jeremy thought to himself,

'I am suddenly stronger yet again, albeit only physically... and if I somehow max out the grade and rank of those fourteen skills... Well, with just the thought of it has made my blood boil already.'

'Nonetheless, it looks like I will have to train my body much more from now on... It is such a drag...'

Having finished his momentary thought, Jeremy walked back towards the same corner where some white bone pieces scattered there...

It appeared that Jeremy had intentionally lured most outlanders to other places, resulting in only some bone pieces flying in favorite corner's direction.

After clearing those bones out for a bit, there was finally a space to pitch a tent. So, Jeremy took out the black tent and pitched it there once again.

Regarding the reason why Jeremy had kept the tent inside the glove's space storage was that he had learned his lesson from when he was ambushed by the wolf packs, leading him to wash the tent's canvas for a long time.

Thus, Jeremy decided to keep his tent first before the ninth horde came for safety's sake...

After a few minutes...

'Done... Now, let's repair my sea of consciousness for a bit before the last wave comes. Hmm... I wonder how tough the next one will be. If it's too hard, then I might have to use the spells to defeat them.'

After sitting down on a cushion, Jeremy thought fleetingly to himself, wondering about the next wave's difficulty.

Not long after, Jeremy finally closed his eyes and entered the meditating state....
