51- Experiment
After waiting for a few hours, Armelia woke up.
As she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and looked around the cave. When she saw me, she came closer and said,
“Hey, I think the sun should have risen and it should be safe for us to travel.”
Hearing Armelia's words, my attention was diverted to her, who was sitting next to me.
I was not able to sleep, as my HP has been decreasing every minute, which made me restless and sleepless. I once again lost 364 HP, while I was sitting.
When I saw Armelia sleeping so peacefully, a little jealousy was born in my heart.
I got jealous of Armelia because she can be free of any worry and sleep peacefully, not worry about being poisoned and be on guard while sleeping. While I have to worry about the poison and losing HP, and from the lessons learned I always have to stay on guard even while sleeping.
“Hey...”
Armelia was waving her hands in front of me, as I was lost in thoughts. Seeing, her waving I replied
“Oh, sorry. I was lost in thoughts, as I was unable to sleep.”
“Why were you unable to sleep? Did something happen?”
Asked Armelia.
I replied
“Nothing, just planning about how to get out of this forest and see if I could find some good herbs and medicines.”
Hearing my answer, Armelia nodded and said,
“Ok then let us have some breakfast and then we can start traveling.”
When she said about ‘Breakfast’ I remembered, that I stored the food that I cooked with MP, in the ‘Inventory’.
I took them out and used the observation skill,
‘Ding’
‘Meat and Mushroom roast - Normal’
‘Meat and Mushroom roast - Normal’
‘Meat and Mushroom roast - Normal’
------------------------------
Just like I thought, the buff power has expired. I remember the system telling me that the food’s buff granting ability will expire in 2 hours, but due to the matter of Brown book, I stored them in the ‘Inventory’ and now they are back to normal food.
As we are going to travel, it would be better if I could make a few more food with buff granting ability.
So, I took out the remaining Wild boar that I stored in the ‘Storage Box’ and cut out a few pieces, and started making a roast again.
I prepared a meat roast for both of us and separately prepared a 6 ‘Meat roast with buff power’ with 10 MP for each while cooking.
I used the ‘Observation’ skill on the 6 ‘Meat roast with buff power’.
‘ding’
‘Meat Roast’
‘Strength buff – 5% for 8 minutes’
‘Food power will expire in 1 hour, 48 minutes.’
------------------------
It was the same description for all the 6 ‘Meat roast with buff power’.
As the mushroom that I bought were finished, I could only prepare food with the leftover meat, and due to that the expiry time fell from 2 hours to 1 hour 48 minutes.
But it cannot be helped, after going out, I will look for more ingredients and kill more monsters for food and ‘Exp’ farming.
And maybe with that, I can produce food with different buffs and even my cooking skills may improve.
So, I stored them in the ‘Inventory’ and after we filled our stomachs we prepared to leave the cave.
Earlier while I was going through the shop, I bought sufficient HP and MP potions and stored them in the inventory.
Along with them, I found a lot of interesting and useful things, which either I bought or saved on the wish list, due to current me financially being weak, I tried spending less but still, I spent about 1 million Sikka.
After 10-15 minutes we got out of the water and got back to the forest. We decided to get back on the cliff from which we jumped into the pond and were able to find the hidden cave.
Because by going back, we could trace back the same way in which we escaped from the ‘White Fang Wolf’ and its pack; we should be able to travel out of the inner area of ‘Dark Forest’ to the outer area.
So, we picked a direction and started walking so as to get back to the cliff.
As we were walking, I drank an MP potion to recover my MP and also consumed Meat that could grant a buff.
‘ding’
‘+5% Strength’
‘Buff will expire in 8 minutes.’
After I ate the ‘Meat Roast’, I could feel the increase in strength.
Seeing me Drink and Eat while walking, Armelia asked,
“Hey, are you still hungry? We just ate. And what is that you drank? Yesterday you said that it’s an energy drink, and you will explain that to me later.”
I stopped walking & turned to her, and said,
“Energy drink is a drink, which makes the person energetic when he drinks it. As I was unable to sleep, I feel a little stressed, and ‘Energy drink’ can make me feel energetic and also relives that stress.”
Hearing my answer, Armelia doubtfully nodded her head. After a few seconds she asked,
“Hey, can you give me one Energy drink? Please...Please.”
Armelia was looking at me with hope, while her big eyes were shining with anticipation.
At first, I clearly wanted to refuse, as I am already having trouble financially and have to save money for emergencies. And I don’t want to share my MP potions. Yes, I will have to act like a miser for now.
But looking at her face and especially her eyes, made me hesitate and difficult to reject her.
Seeing me hesitate, Armelia tugged my clothes and once again said
“Please, just give me one Energy drink. I promise I won't ask for another. Please...”
Hearing her pleading and looking into her eyes, I can only agree reluctantly and nod.
So, I gave her a (Level 1 MP potion).
But there is also another reason that I gave her the MP potion. I wanted to see what happens when someone drinks an MP potion?
Will they have any changes, or will it help them in cultivation or something else? If it is really helpful, maybe I could sell them in auctions or somewhere and start earning money. Selling MP potion could be my first business and a way to earn.
Receiving the ‘Energy drink’ (Level 1 MP potion), Armelia jumped happily and smiled like a 10-year-old kid. Well, she has the body of a 10 to a 12-year-old kid, but she says that she is 18. Sometimes I doubt if she truly is 18 years old?
Well anyway, from the looks she is really happy. And she immediately drank the MP potion.
