Chapter 5 Achievement [Double Kill]

Chapter 5 Achievement: Double Kill

"Two hundred and ninety-two coppers."

After Ash counted what he had earned, he calculated the profit in his head.

'Including protection fees and taxes, the profit is about 30 percent.'

'I should be able to make some quick money before pirated copies come out.'

Ash put the money away, and his hatred for certain people deepened.

If it weren't for these people exploiting him, the money he saved would be enough for him to buy a good set of leather armor and a sword.

There is no need to worry about money to buy equipment now.

For the next ten days, Ash lived a repetitive life.

Sell ​​candied haws in the morning, make them in the afternoon, and finish them in the evening.

"Selling candied haws!"

On this day, Ash was hawking his wares on the street as usual and sold out all the accumulated candied haws.

He sighed as he looked at the more people selling candied haws on the street.

Although he was still able to sell out the candied haws normally thanks to word of mouth, he could feel that it was becoming increasingly difficult to sell them.

The first is that someone is stealing his business, and the second is that people’s novelty has worn off, in other words, they’re tired of it.

"I've made enough money, so there's no need to do it anymore."

Ash took a bite of the remaining candied haws and left with the basket.

Passing by a butcher's shop and buying a large piece of meat, Ash walked towards the nursing home.

On the way, Ash stopped and pulled out a sharpened spear from the basket because there was a man blocking the way ahead.

Glancing back, Ash said, "What's up, you two?"

"We've taken a fancy to your candied haws business. You are not allowed to sell it anymore, understand?" the man standing in front of Yaxiu said with a vicious tone.

They have copied the candied haws, but they can't sell as well as Yaxiu's.

Besides, the market is so small, if the big share is taken by Ash, they will have nothing to eat.

So, they decided to get rid of Ash.

"Okay." Ash nodded.

The two men in front and behind were stunned. They didn't expect Ash to agree so readily.

"You're smart." The man behind came over and patted Ash on the shoulder, then reached for the strips of meat in Ash's basket, "This piece of meat is a gift to us brothers."

Ash narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the short spear in Ash's hand shot out like a poisonous snake.

puff!

The sharp wooden spear pierced directly into the man's throat from bottom to top.

Quick steps!

The attack hit the target, and Ash's heart beat wildly, while his fighting spirit flowed through his blood to his feet.

boom!
Ash catapulted straight out and headed straight for the man in front of him.

The man in front was still in a daze. He couldn't believe that Ash, who had just acted cowardly, would dare to suddenly kill someone.

When he came to his senses, Ash was already in front of him.

"I want you to die!" the man shouted angrily with red eyes.

But what responded to him was a kick from Ash.

boom!
The man's penis was retracted into his abdomen, and his eyes bulged out like a toad.

With fighting spirit boosting his fists, Ash punched him on the chin.

Click!

The man's open mouth suddenly closed, and blood could be vaguely seen flowing out.

The man fell to the ground, and Ash sat astride his back, then grabbed his head and twisted it hard.

Crack! The man's struggling hands went limp.

{Achievement: [Double Kill] Achieved, Reward: Inherent Skill: [Multitasking]}
【Multitasking】: You can instinctively live with two different ways of thinking.

{Activate achievement · [Triple Kill]: Kill 2/3 enemies within 3 minute whose level difference with yours is no more than .}
The moment the message popped up, Ash felt his head itching.

'As expected, the more difficult the achievement, the better the reward.'

Ash thought as he looked at the reward.

After searching the corpses, Ash dragged the two bodies away.

Looking at the corpse, Ash sighed. The rituals of the evil cult were so harmful that they turned a good man like him into a murderer.

After observing for these few days, Ash roughly understood the purpose of the rituals arranged by the cult here:

It can push people to more extremes.

To put it simply, those who are excited will become more excited, and those who are afraid will become more afraid.

Just like these two people, they might have originally wanted to just intimidate Ash, but when malice took over, they would only become more greedy.

Now they just want Ash to quit, and then they will force Ash to work for them.

In order to avoid trouble, Ash had no choice but to ask them to die.

Tossing the shiny silver coins, Ash sighed: "It's true that no one can get rich without unexpected fortune. Killing two people is equivalent to half a month's hard work for me."

Back at the nursing home, Ash cooked a large bowl of broth and ate it all.

{Achievement: [Meat Eater] achieved, reward: achievement point*1}
"It turns out that a full meal of meat can achieve this."

Ash looked at the message that popped up, not surprised.

He has been taking care of his stomach during this period. After all, he used to be hungry one day and full the next, so it is hard to say what bad consequences would result from suddenly eating a large meal of meat.

"Carnivores, grain eaters, and there should be herbivores and the like."

After thinking for a while, Ash counted his coins, a total of 35 silver and 64 bronze.

"After buying equipment with this little money, I should be able to buy a skill for cultivation."

Although everyone in this world has a level, there is no experience value from killing monsters.

If you want to increase your level, you can only do so by practicing your skills.

Ash took a nap and headed to town again.

He first bought two ordinary daggers from the blacksmith shop at the price of six silvers each, and bought a piece of leather armor made of tanned cowhide at the price of eleven silvers.

Holding two daggers and wearing leather armor, Ash suddenly felt much safer.

There is a high wall between unarmed and armed.

In other words, the two men at noon were careless and did not bring weapons, otherwise Ash would not have dared to attack them.

The last step is to practice skills.

Ash came to the vocational training center again. He came to the counter and said, "Hello, I want to buy some training skills."

"Breathing techniques?" asked the waitress at the counter.

"Yes." Ash nodded, "The basics are fine."

There are three types of training skills: breathing method, meditation method, and visualization method; they correspond to the three basic professional classifications: warrior, mage, and priest.

"Then choose one from Bear's Breath, Cow's Breath, and Cat's Breath." The waitress took out three crystals. "Each one is ten silver coins."

These three breathing methods represent three directions: strength, body, and agility.

"Cat's Breath." Ash said, handing over the money.

With my current physique, I can only focus on agility attack for now, and then see if there is an opportunity to improve my strength and stamina in the future.

"Here you go." The waitress handed the crystal to Ash.

Ash pressed it against his forehead.

More complex information than last time was stuffed into my mind.

After a short while, Ash came to his senses and returned the crystal to the counter.
