64 New Skill (1/2)

”You sure I've not been duped?” I asked once again as I looked at the useless skill in my Skill Slot. ”I mean you told me that this skill will not be very useful at first but isn't this a bit too useless.”

”No brother that skill is not useless.” Rahul's voice came through the radio and sounded a bit tired for some reason. ”It just… needs to be upgraded a few times before it could be…”

I threw the Walkie talkie inside the spatial ring before I'm forced to listen to the same excuse for the nth number of time.

I looked at the skill in the Skill slot and sighed with a heavy feeling of defeat in my heart.

'I should have bought the 'Tracker' skill when Neha told me about it. It was expensive as hell but it sounded useful as well. Wait, did I just made a rhyme out of it. I'm so cool.'

'Making a lame rhyme by mistake doesn't make you cool.' Lily said in my mind.

'Yes it does.' I said when she started to say something I filled my mind with 'Lalalalalalalala…'

'That's real mature of you.' She said after I finished with me Lalala…

I just shrugged back and used the new skill I had bought into the tree in front of me.

A single line appeared in front of me as I felt 0.2 mana drain away from my body.

'Tree'

I felt my eye twitch as I cursed the 'Appraisal' Skill Book for the nth number of time in my mind.

'Maybe I'm not doing it right. Maybe there's some other way of using it. Some smarter way.'

I looked up at the sky and raised both my hands to the limit and made a circle out of fingers and said in the coolest tone I can manage.

”Appraise.”

0.2 mana was drained out of my body and a single line appeared in the screen in front of me.

'Sky.' I felt my eye twitch even more heavily.

'Maybe I need to point at a large number of things to get a better result.' I thought and climbed the tree before pointing at the trees in the far distance and said in the coolest heroic tone I can manage ”Appraise.”

0.2 mana drain and a single word.

'Forest'

Eye twitch.

'Maybe I need to get closer for this work.'

0.2 mana drain. A single word.

'Trunk.'

I felt the irritation rise to a new level before I finally let out a sigh of defeat and sat down in a depressed mood.

'Maybe this is Big bro's way of getting back at me for when I did not eat my vegetables as a child.' I thought as I fell to the ground face first and tried to crawl on the forest floor with just the help of my legs.

Crawling Penguin Style.

Yeah.

I think I'm losing my mind here.

I pointed at myself and used the skill and a word came in front of me.

'Human.'

Yep. Crawling Penguin Style.

”The skill will start to show some use when it reaches 3rd tier. And it'll start to show it's real value from 5th tier and onward.” Rahul said and I stifled a sigh.

Only on of my skill has reached 3rd tier so far.
