Chapter 54: Challenge (1/2)
As soon as they climbed the hill, Alea took out the spices before handing Theo the knife.
Theo, on the other hand, prepared the meat according to Alea's instruction.
These two were cooperating with each other in order to create their lunch.
”So, I will explain why Level 50 is Normal Rank while Level 51 is Elite Rank. It is indeed related to status points, but they vary in number depending on someone's potential and blessing.”
”Potential and blessing, huh.” Theo narrowed his eyes.
”The majority comes from a blessing though. Since the potential will only vary five to ten points, or in other words, one or two levels which are not much big of a deal.”
”Oh?”
”Do you have a blessing?”
”Yes. But not as cool as you.” Theo shrugged. Rather than playing the fool and being read by Alea again, Theo instinctively answered her without telling the full story. This way, she shouldn't doubt him that much and didn't think of his blessing highly.
”Either way, you will get at least ten bonus points if you have no blessing and potential. The maximum number that has been recorded is fifty points or ten levels' worth.”
”Hmm…” Theo narrowed his eyes and contemplated, feeling a bit dissatisfied.
”Haha. Don't worry. It won't be that much in the beginning, but there are still Champion, Hero, Supreme, Mythical Ranks. Last but not least, the realm in the legend, God Rank. At that time, the bonus will add up and make you far stronger, you see.”
”I see. That's understandable.”
”Also, I think you will receive a special skill from your blessing. Depending on their rank, you will get more and more later.”
”Do we need to experience a trial or something?” asked Theo, remembering what he learned from the Internet.
”It depends on your blessing. Some make a trial, some give it directly, some tell you to do something. Basically, if you look up on the Internet, most of them are true as it's based on their experience.”
”Thank you.” Theo nodded.
”It's fine. Anyway, let's eat.”
Theo agreed and finished his lunch. After that, he climbed the highest tree together with Alea to observe the entire prairie.
On the north, there were another group of buffalos that might become their first target. However, Alea's focus remained on a pack of horses not far from it.
”How about we hunt those monsters instead? If I am not wrong, it's called Horned Fighting Horse. They are a bit more interesting because the information states they have a skill called Haste. It basically increases your speed for a period of time. There are two versions, F Rank and E Rank. If we are lucky, we might be able to get that skill for you. What do you think?”
”I understand. Thank you for doing this.” Theo agreed without hesitation. ”By the way, are we going to clean it up first?”
”Hmm? What?”
Theo pointed at their tools on the ground.
”It's fine. We are not going far away from this place, so yeah, no one will steal them. And I think we will have dinner here, considering I don't really like the food in the camp.”
