‘ding’

‘Host has unlocked the (Wardrobe) function.’

‘With the wardrobe function, host can change his attire quickly.’

‘Host has been given 2 Attire slots and if the host requires more slots, then host will have to buy it from the shop.’

‘Would you like to add (Wind walker) to the 1st attire slot?’

‘(YES) or (NO)’

‘Note: If the host wishes to use a particular Attire slot, then only the items that are added to the slot will be equipped to the host and the items that are being replaced will either go back to the different attire slot (If the item is included in a different attire) or it will be added to the (Storage box).’

Reading this, I was so excited that that my speed dropped and I almost stopped running, but quickly I came back to senses and started running with high speed. I saw that the bald guy got closer by at least 30-40 meters.

I can only curse myself for being so excited.

I quickly pressed ‘YES’ and the ‘Wind walker’ was added to the 1st Attire slot.

There was a ‘Wardrobe’ button blinking on the system window. I clicked on it and a new window got opened.

‘ding’

‘Attire 1’

‘Attire 2’

I clicked on ‘Attire 1’ and a new window popped up.

In that a human shadow was visible. If observed carefully, one can see that the body structure, size, shape, height of the human shadow was similar to mine. And the whole body is black and only the foot of the shadow is equipped with green shoes. And that is similar to the ‘Wind walker’ that I have just bought.

This is similar to the function which I have seen in games, in the previous life. There the games offer the user to equip different types of costume or dress or skins or any different term that is used in the game.

There was a button labelled as ‘Equip’ at the bottom of the window.

I clicked on it and the system notification rang

‘ding’

‘Attire 1 has been equipped.’

.

“Flash”

The boots that I was wearing was replaced with the ‘Wind Walker’ and my speed got increased.

‘ding’

‘The previous shoes worn by the host, has been sent to the (Storage box), since they have not been added to any other attire slots.’

“So, that’s how it is.”

After I get out this problem, I have to properly look into this wardrobe function.

Putting this matter behind, I focused on running. The speed boost that I got after wearing the ‘Wind walker’ was clearly felt by me. The distance between the bald guy and I was slowly increasing.

Currently, my ‘Agility’ stat is at 357 and due to the activation of ‘Sprint’ skill, the ‘Agility’ stat increase by 30. After wearing the ‘Wind walker’, I got another increase in ‘Agility’ stat by 20.

Which means that my ‘Agility’ stat is at 407 and according my assumption, the bald guy’s agility should be within 385 to 395, according to system’s measurement of stats.

So, I can assume that an average Demi-human stage cultivator’s stat should be below 400. Of course, a monster’s stats can be similar or not. Because the Demi-human stage snake monster that I have seen yesterday was much slower. And if is counted according to the system’s measurement, then its speed was around 300.

Hence, assumption of a monster’s stat will be not be accurate. Of course, a human’s stats might also be irregular, but it won't differ by a huge number.

So, it means that if all my stats cross 400, then I can face an average Demi-human stage cultivator or monster. And there is also a chance that I can defeat and kill them.

And this calculation can be a lot helpful for me.

It might look or sound weird that I am doing all these calculations, and that too when I am in a life and death situation. But actually, it must be the ‘Intelligence’ and ‘Sense’ stats that has enhanced my reaction and processing ability. Which means that part of my brain can focus on escaping, movement and running. While the other part can compile and calculate these kinds of things. Which means that my brain’s multi-tasking ability is increasing.

But just when I was feeling complacent, I felt that some danger was ahead in the direction I was running. So, I changed my direction of running by 15-20 degrees.

And just as I was observing my surroundings, I heard the bald guy shouting.

“Hey, quickly use our group’s signal. We are in the outer area now and the area is close to our base. This brat tried escaping but ultimately, he was running towards our base. Hahaha...”

When I heard this, I started sweating. If what the bald guy said is true and I was really running / escaping towards their base, then it means that, my luck could not get much worse than this.

“Boom”

“Boom”

I looked back and saw that demi-human stage man, under the bald guy fired two flares. One black and one green. I can only assume that it must be some kind of signal and with this the tension / pressure on me is increasing.

Inwardly, I started cursing on my luck. Just as I was panicking and thinking how can I handle the situation, I heard the bald guy shouting.

“Hey skeleton brat, you better stop running and surrender now or else, when our other members catch you, I will seriously make you regret. But if you surrender now, then I will only break your hands and then sell you in the slave market. Rest assured that the slave traders will heal you if we give them proper discount.”

========================================

Let's make a few goals.

Mass Release on Monday:

100 Power stones = 2 Chapters

120 Power stones = 3 Chapters

140 Power stones = 4 Chapters

(Only if I reach this goal, will I be Mass releasing the chapters. Because I have started working in a company, and am tired when I return home. So, If I could see your support through this, I can reassure myself that ‘Yeah, I can still work on this novel and can also start new works’ for my readers.)
