East Meet West

Chapter 47: New Title

47- New Title

When we reached the area where we found the old mans statue and received treasure and the inheritance, I took out the wild boars body, wood and the mushrooms.

After that I arranged wood and started to make fire.

Well, right now I have to use the primitive way of producing fire that I learned from television. Using stones and striking them against each other. And when sparks produced fall on the wood, it produces fire. Or I could also use other ways.

But I totally hate things which takes lot of time,

Growl

But for filling my stomach and satisfying my hunger, I can only bear and try these methods to make fire.

After 10-15 minutes, finally the fire was generated and we cut meat from the wild boars body, and attached that to a stick along with mushroom and started roasting.

After roasting for few minutes, when I felt that the meat should be good to eat, I took out the sticks which were holding meat and the mushroom. Armelia and I took one stick each and when I took the first bite, the system notification rang.

Host obtained new title: Chef (Apprentice)

Chef (Apprentice): Host has proved his culinary or cooking skills and has been deemed as worthy of a chef

Chef (Apprentice): Whatever food the host cooks or prepares, when consumed or eaten gives random buffs to the consumer. Host can also use MP for increasing the power of food

Buffs can be active for 10 minutes

Only one type of buff can be activated at a time. This can be increased as host improves his culinary or cooking skills.

ding

Host has equipped Marathon Runner, does the host wish to equip Chef (Apprentice)? Host can equip and unequip title anytime.

(YES) or (NO)

------------------

When I read the Title description, I nodded with satisfaction. And accepted to equip the new title.

Although I am not a fan of cooking, but from the systems notification I can conclude that from today I need to get a new hobby, that is cooking.

ding

Strength Stat increased by 1% for 10 minutes

Well from today onwards, I am definitely taking cooking as a hobby.

1% might sound low, but think about the ingredients used and the process used. They are low class materials that I used for cooking. And I am also a total rookie in the field of cooking, so in a sense my skills still have room for improvement. No, I think, I should have a stadium equivalent space for improvement. (My sense of humour level.)

So, what if I used higher grade materials? What if my cooking skills increase?

Then I am sure there will be increase in the buffs power and the title might also get upgraded. And what if I used MP while cooking, then even more powerful buff can be obtained.

Thinking about all this, I took some more meat and prepared different sticks, and started roasting them. But this time I was in the mood for experimenting.

So, I told the system to use only 1 MP for cooking the stick which holds meat and mushroom, while use 5 MP for another and 10 MP for the third stick.

As the system executed the command that I gave, I could feel losing something invisible from my body. And when I checked my MP bar, I understood that my MP decreased.

After few minutes, when I felt that the meat and mushroom has been roasted enough, I took them out and waited until my first buff is lost. Because the system said that only one buff can be activated at a time, so it would be better to wait until the current buff wears off.

After waiting for few minutes, I heard the system notification

ding

Buffs effect is gone

When I read the notification, I could feel that I lost a bit of power.

So, I took the meat and mushroom on which I told the system to use 1 MP. I ate the meat and mushroom. Once again heard the system notification.

ding

Strength stat has been increased by 2% for 10 minutes

As soon as the notification rang, I could feel my strength increase. And when I read the message, I knew that my strength stat increased by 2%.

So, I opened the status window to have a look at my stats,

Name: Orochi

Race: Human

Rank: G

Level: 19/100

Exp: 600/1900

------------------------

Skills: Observation Lvl 1

-----------------------

Jobs: Thief.

-----------------------

Thief job skills

Stealth Lvl 3, Sprint Lvl 3, Spying Lvl 1, Disarm Traps Lvl 1, Pick Lock Lvl 1

------------------------

Titles: Marathon Runner (Rookie) - Unequipped

-----------------------

Balance = 2,300,233 Sikka

-----------------------

Next to the Strength stat, I could see how much percentage the Strength stat has temporarily increased and I can also know how much time is left until the buff expires.

After looking at the status window for few seconds, I also found that a separate space has been created for the Unequipped Titles, and thats a good thing.

Because the title Marathon Runner is also helpful in case of emergencies. And if the system said that I need to buy a slot for storing a title then I will be screwed. Just like I had to buy Empty slot for Job for 1 million sikka as my only job slot was filled with Thief job. And after I bought the Empty slot for Job, its price increased to 10 million sikka. And if the same happened with Titles then I might have to become a bandit. Because in this world there are no banks for me to become a robber.

But this too also has its own drawback, as I cannot equip two titles at the same time. But I am happy for what I have.

Author:

Hello, people how are you.

Once again, a happy new year, so I have come to inform you few things today.

1- I told you guys I was busy with work and due to that I was not able to create & upload new chapters. And as a token of apology, I will be uploading two chapters today.

2- Congratulations people, we have reached one of the goals that I set regarding power stones vote:

{

Mass Release on Monday:

50 Power stones = 2 Chapters

60 Power stones = 3 Chapters

70 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.)

}

So, to appreciate your support I will be uploading 2 more chapters on Monday, which means I will be uploading 2 today and 2 more tomorrow, to show my apology and appreciation.

Thank you, people. I hope we can soon reach other goals too.
