Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Natural Seal (1/100), Subjects Column Opened

The forest at night was shrouded in a layer of mist.

The night dew was heavy, and Char on the carriage’s wooden board was concentrating on his preparations.

Because it was already late when he returned to the carriage, he didn’t start the guerrilla warfare immediately but decided to transfer first.

As a modern person, even though he possessed the body of a Half-Elf, he was not skilled in night operations.

However, not engaging in guerrilla warfare didn’t mean he could do nothing.

At least, while transferring, he could rely on the initial kill missions to collect Praying Power.

Once he gathered ten strands of Praying Power, his chances of safely getting through this crisis would increase.

Nowadays, he felt like he was in his previous life, gripped by a captivating game, an engaging novel, or a thrilling TV series, dying to see what happened next.

He couldn’t sleep at night, not until he reached the story’s end!

He would stay up all night to gather ten strands of Praying Power and complete this phase of his goals.

Moreover, there was the pressure of the crisis!

Under these dual factors, he couldn’t sleep at all tonight, determined not to rest until he had gathered ten strands of Praying Power!

Unfortunately, although the real world has an innumerable number of species compared to games, only a small part of them qualifies for initial kills.

And he had already encountered some of the more common creatures before.

So, many hours had passed, and Char still hadn’t gathered ten strands of Praying Power.

In the darkness, from time to time, a Red Firefly streaked through the woods and quickly disappeared into the bushes.

Lantern Firefly sat on the carriage roof’s eaves, its legs naturally dangling, with a lantern hanging beside its feet where a Red Glow burned faintly.

The light, via numerous small openings, shone outside, casting a red light that brought a bit of brightness to Char standing on the wooden platform at the door.

Lantern Firefly maintained its sensing of the Red Firefly, constantly alert to the surroundings.

At least for now, the goblins had not caught up.

Char stood on the wooden platform at the door, an oak bow in his hand, as if he was about to burst into action and shoot an arrow into the darkness at any second.

Lotus Leaf Frog crouched by his side, its tongue occasionally shooting out to stick and carry one big insect after another into its mouth.

Unfortunately, these common insects did not count as kills, or he would have gathered enough Praying Power for recruitment long ago.

Star Worm and Betty were inside the carriage together.

Char had made a small bed for Betty, bowl-shaped, with two thick layers of white cotton rabbit fur, and a tiny white cotton rabbit blanket on top—Betty lay in it mending her injuries, finding the life here quite pleasant.

Especially this soft and warm bed—lying on it felt like lying on clouds, exceedingly comfortable.

Oh right! And there were Star Worm and Lotus Leaf Frog!

Thinking of this, Betty glanced at Star Worm lying beside her.

Feeling a gentle warmth emanating from Star Worm, a smile unconsciously appeared on her beautiful little face.

She liked Star Worm very much, not only because the gentle sunlight radiating from it made her feel comfortable, as if it also increased her inner Magic Power.

But also because Star Worm’s appearance was extremely beautiful, sparkling like a jewel.

Women naturally love shiny things and often develop obsessions with beautiful jewelry.

Although Betty wasn’t exactly a woman, being a Flower Fairy and a female, she inevitably shared this disposition.

Not only did Betty like Star Worm, but it seemed that Star Worm also quite liked Betty.

Before Betty appeared, Star Worm liked sticking to Char, usually hovering around him wherever he went.

Now, he would occasionally revolve around Betty, as the Star Worm also found the aura on Betty comforting. Staying beside Betty, the Star Worm could also feel its Magic Power slowly increasing.

This even made Char feel a bit jealous and uncomfortable.

After all, when someone who always clung to you like a shadow suddenly starts showing enthusiasm towards someone else, it’s always a bit unsettling and awkward, isn’t it?

Those with stronger possessiveness might even be secretly angry by now.

…

As the moon reached its zenith, Char, who was hunting outside the carriage with the Lantern Firefly, suddenly felt a change in his body. His vision inexplicably became much clearer, sounds around him abruptly grew louder, a variety of scents rushed into his nose, and a three-dimensional map naturally appeared in his mind.

‘This…’

Char was dumbstruck, momentarily unable to comprehend what had just happened.

After being dazed for a second, he recovered and summoned his panel.

He saw a slight change on the panel: a new Skill had appeared out of nowhere, pushing “Universal Arrow Skill” to the back.

Besides that, under the “Magic Pet” entry, a new “Subjects” entry had also appeared.

At this moment, his personal panel looked like this:

[Name]: Char Rain Season

[Race]: Half-Elf

[Level]: 2

[Profession]: Archer

[Attributes]: Strength 12+1, Defense 8, Agility 14, Constitution 11+1, Intelligence 14, Perception 13

[Life Value]: 1345/1345

[Magic Power]: ——

[Skills]: Natural Seal (1/100), Universal Arrow Skill lv1

[Magic Pets]: Star Worm (Challenge Level 3/4), Lantern Firefly (Challenge Level 2), Lotus Leaf Frog (Challenge Level 1)

[Subjects]: Flower Fairy ×1 (temporary)

Looking at his attribute panel, Char’s heart was filled with surprise.

He clearly remembered that before this, his Intelligence and Perception attributes were 13 and 11, respectively. To have them increase by 1 and 2 points each in an instant was truly astonishing.

Although an increase of three points might not seem like a big deal, considering that even low-level magical equipment like the Wild Boar Dagger could provide him with two attribute points, an increase of three points seemed rather modest.

However, any improvement was welcome, especially at a crucial moment when he was facing a life-and-death crisis.

Another change was in the Life Value, which had increased from the original “1298” to “1345”.

But this wasn’t the change that had just occurred; his Life Value had already reached 1345 before.

This was the result of his training over the past few days.

During these days, he had been well-fed and well-drinked, traversing mountains and waters daily to hunt and gather, which had slightly increased his “Constitution”.

However, the increase was far less than “1 point,” so it hadn’t shown up in the “Constitution” attribute.

But while it didn’t reflect in the Constitution attribute, it did show in the Life Value column.

However, these were not the main points; the focus was clearly the new Skill that had appeared in the Skills bar.

Char’s gaze naturally rested on the newly emerged Skill.

‘Natural Seal?’
