Chapter 57 - LVL 11
Adam hunted 6 python beasts, then retracted his summons and used his Ethereal Recovery Skill to recover his MP and HP that was lost.
After 2 hours, he had completely recovered all the MP and HP that he lost and continued hunting while using 2 of his summons at a time.
The cycle repeated itself and after slaughtering dozens of Python Beasts, Adam had finally increased in LVL.
{LVL UP - You are now LVL 11 and have an increase in all stats and an extra stat point} announced the system.

"Spend the stat point in MP" decided Adam, knowing that the use of MP to summon his summons and sustain them had increased.
"System show me how many system points and gold I have" ordered Adam.
{The host has 322 System Points and 21860 gold} informed him the system.
"So overall if I convert my gold to system points I could have 540 system points. But it still isn't enough" stated Adam still annoyed at the system who had made it harder for him to gain system points previously.
There were so many things that he needed to buy, such as the B Rank Mortal HP Recovery Pill and the transferal feature.
He also needed many system points to increase his mastery and to buy better equipment for himself.
[System take me out of the dungeon] ordered Adam who was satisfied with what he had managed to accomplish in the short time he was in the dungeon.
{Ding, the host will be taken out of the Dungeon in 30 seconds} announced the system.
[System, how much does a B Rank HP Recovery Pill cost] asked Adam, unsure of how much he needed to buy it for his aunt.
{A B Rank HP or MP Recovery Pill costs 200 system points and can either recover 150 HP or 15 MP} informed him the system.
[But the pricing doesn't make sense as.....] screamed Adam before being warped out of the dungeon.
Returning to his body that lay uncomfortably in the alleyway, Adam was still frustrated.
[System how come if I buy 15 E Rank Pills I can recover the same amount of HP or MP as the B Rank Recovery Pill, yet I have to use a B Rank Recovery Pill to save my aunt] screamed Adam.
{That is because pills have impurities and the higher the rank of the pill the less impurities it has and the more efficient it is in healing. They are all the same pill and use the same ingredients, but are ranked based on the quality of the pill that was formed. If anybody else was to intake as many pills at once as you have done to recover, their body would have inversely been damaged because of the large amounts of impurities in the lower-ranked pills and if they were cultivators, they would lose their ability to absorb energy. Whereas if it is of a higher Rank, that would not occur as it is only a single pill of higher quality and healing capacity, with less impurities} explained the system.
[Does that mean I should stop taking pills] asked Adam worried about his health.
{No, the host's constitution is unique, but lower rank pills have many impurities that if overused may permanently weaken the host and lower the host's stat points} informed him the system.
Hearing the system, he was learning more about pills and would never have thought that pills would have such drastic differences between qualities.
He had nothing he could say to the system now and he wondered whether weapons and equipment were also ranked based on the quality of the maker which would increase its stat boost.
{Yes, the host's assumption is correct} affirmed the system.
Standing up and stretching his body that had increased in power, he walked to the edge of the alleyway and peered around the sides.
The night sky was pitch black and there wasn't much light in the alleyway, but Adam who had 26 Intelligence points, had very sensitive senses and could still see quite clearely.
There were many street lights and a few people in in the area, but hardly any in comparison to during the day.
Adam placed the C- Rank Sabre he had stolen from Angelo in a plastic bin bag and carried it over his shoulder.
Dashing through the streets of Brooklyn, taking as many empty streets and alleyways as he could, Adam within 20 minutes had reached the Brooklyn Bridge Park that was near his apartment.
Adam attempted to take as many routes that avoided security cameras and were quiet, but he knew it was inevitable he would be seen.
He was just hoping that he wouldn't be able to get tracked back to his apartment and after walking around the park he went to his building.
Scouring his pockets for his building identification, his heart slumped when he couldn't find it.
The security guard recognised him as the weird person that lived in the building, but Adam was more worried about whether he had dropped his building identification in the alleyway or in the Auction House.
Adam who had already gained the title of the 'Building Weirdo' didn't care about the thick stench of waste and rubbish that was around him and the bin bag he was holding and rushed straight towards his apartment.
Without his building identification, he wouldn't be able to get into his apartment, so the front reception that was luckily open and was just about to close, gave him a replacement.
As he entered his apartment he was relieved that Sarah and Cole weren't there, as he wouldn't have a way to explain to them what had happened, and he quickly went into his room.
He had a long warm shower and threw the clothes he was wearing in the trash, then wore a new set.
Then Adam sat on his bed calmly and was pleased with how everything had turned out.
Adam had thought that everything had went well and he had gotten away without any traces, however in the Silver Moon Auction House, a guard had come across an identification card when cleaning up the Auction Hall.
