Hazure Skill “Gacha” de Tsuihou Sareta Ore wa, Wagamama Osananajimi wo Zetsuen Shi Kakusei Suru - Volume 1
I seem to have gotten around 200 points per fang sheep I took down. They were about as hard to fight as a honey bear so I guess it can’t be helped.
In any case, now I know that I can spin the eleven-time gacha if I take down 25 fang sheep. What should I do after that?
I couldn’t use perception technique on the way back, so I ended up fighting against several hone bears. They weren’t particularly difficult foes though.
It was a bit harder to fight compared to usual with the annoying display in the way the whole time. Other than that everything was fine.
When I got back to my base I went inside my house. Then I selected a mattress and a comforter and created them on my bed frame. Ah, perfect. All I need now is a pillow, but I could probably get away with substituting that for a towel or something.
I bet I could make a towel from a fang sheep. That’s more in the territory of tailoring technique I think. Anyway, my life will be a lot better from now on with all of this.
I went back to the fang sheep territory and started hunting monsters. While hunting the fang sheep I continued northward. Around there I came across some grapens.
It was a very famous fruit for its sweetness and purple colour. They were pretty small in the upper world, but here in the lower world they were about the size of a fist. They also came in bunches.
I took one of them and put it in my mouth. Delicious. I collected some seeds in my pocket for now. After walking a bit further I found some vegetables known as mecarrots. They’re red, or rather aren’t they a bit orange? They were vegetables about the size of a human arm buried beneath the soil.
Luckily, they have some seeds too, so I collected those as well. This place is really an ingredient treasure house. Moving further on, I found some potadoes. They were buried in the soil, so I probably wouldn’t have found them without the help of appraisal.
There were quite a few good thing among the flowering plants in this area. I was able to find new species by searching for those too.
I probably wouldn’t have been able to find things this easily without appraisal. Even so, neither mecarrots nor potadoes seem to be growing in their original manner.
Originally, those sorts of plants shouldn’t be able to grow outside of very specific temperature ranges. In the upper world there were various seasons for vegetable growing.
Is that not the case in the lower world? The environment saturated in magic power might be causing this abnormality in the crops.
I was able to get seeds for everything. As I continued north I came across a new monster.
It was a chicken type monster. Its body was about as big as my torso. It was very plump and looked like a pretty good meal.
There was one of them. I was a bit relived that they didn’t operate in a group like the fang sheep.
I readied my sword and shot a slashing attack at the heavy clucker.
The slash hit the heavy clucker. However, it didn’t have enough power. It seems like my slashing attack isn’t really effective on the monsters around here.
The heavy clucker noticed where I was and swung its wing at me, shooting feathers. I dodged them and the feathers stuck in the ground. Seriously?
They were sharp like arrows. I can’t let myself get hit. I ran up to it in order to avoid the heavy clucker shooting more feathers at me. Once close I swung my sword, which the heavy clucker caught with its wing.
…It’s hard!? It’s able to block my sword. It would be hard to fight head on. I swung my sword at the heavy clucker several times as I repositioned myself to its flank. The heavy clucker itself couldn’t move particularly quickly. It wasn’t hard to lead it into making an opening.
Once I made it behind the heavy clucker I struck it with my sword. As expected, my blade went through its flesh. I swung down my sword to get its feathers out of the way.
The heavy clucker let out a scream and its movements got worse. I moved further to the side and hit it some more with my sword. Once the heavy clucker fell over I finished it off.
Well then, it surprised me at the start there but overall it wasn’t an unbeatable monster. The honey bears are clearly one of the monsters from this area.
I’ll likely come across more monsters like this in the future. I shouldn’t let my guard down. After harvesting the meat from the heavy clucker, I noticed that my cow fang sword’s durability was getting low.
I should look into getting a new sword soon. I’d collected several iron magic ores over the past few days. I’ll fix my equipment for now.
It’s really convenient that I don’t need a shop to make things thanks to smithing technique. I guess I’ll spend the rest of the day hunting heavy cluckers and fang sheep.
I checked my map. It would be great and all to keep going north, but the sun was starting to go down.
I don’t know exactly what time it was, but if I had to guess I’d say it was probably around 3pm. If I keep going there’s a chance I won’t be able to get back in time.
Since I was getting hungry I settled down for a bit and ate some heavy clucker and fang sheep meat. I spun it over some fire until it was grilled perfectly.
I didn’t have any salt on me, but I guess I’ll see how it tastes. Using a fork and plate I made from a nearby tree, I first put some of the fang sheep meat in my mouth. …Ah, that’s good! I’d eaten mutton back in the upper world before, but this was incomparable! My face was falling apart!
Next was the heavy clucker meat. I’d heard it was pretty easy to burn poultry, so I was a lot more careful with it than usual. I put it in my mouth and… oh, so good… Eating grilled chicken really made me want some salt to go with it. I’ll have both kinds of meat for dinner today.
I decided to head back for today after earning some more points.
