Chapter 51: Experiment

51- Experiment

After waiting for 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 to me and said,

Hey, I think the sun should have risen and it should be safe now for us to travel.

Hearing Armelia, 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 stay worry free and sleep peacefully, not to worry about being poisoned and keeping guard while sleeping. While I have to worry about the poison and losing HP, and from the lessons learnt 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 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 travelling.

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,

Meat and Mushroom roast - Normal

Just like I thought, the buff power has expired. I remember system telling me that the foods buff granting 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 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 few pieces and started making a roast again.

I prepared meat roast for both of us and separately prepared 6 Meat roast with buff power with 10 MP for each while cooking.

I used Observation skill on the 6 Meat roast with buff power.

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 lot of interesting and useful things, which either I bought it or saved them in wish list, due to current 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 were 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. As if we could get back along 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 outer area.

So, we picked a direction, and started walking to get back on the cliff.

As we were walking, I drank a MP potion, to recover my MP and also consumed a Meat with buff.

+5% Strength

Buff will expire in 8 minutes

After I ate the Meat Roast, I could feel the increase in strength.

Seeing me Dring and Eat while walking, Armelia asked,

Hey, are you still hungry? We just ate. And what is that you drank? Yesterday you said that its an energy drink, and you will explain that to me later.

I stopped walking & turned to her, and said,

Energy dink is a drink, which makes the person energetic when he drinks it. As I was unable to sleep, I feel little stressed and Energy drink can make me feel energetic and also relives some stress.

Hearing my answer, Armelia doubtfully nodded her head. After few seconds she asked,

Hey can you give me one Energy drink? Please...Please.

Armelia was looking at me 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 dont 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 at her eyes, I can only agree 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 a 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 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.
