Chapter 27 Achievement [Eater of the Earth] and Improvement of Swordsmanship
Chapter 27 Achievement: [Eater of the Earth] and Improvement of Swordsmanship
When he returned to the nursing home, Ash saw Sister Maria of the Moon Half approaching him with an embarrassed look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked, "Don't tell me your reinforcements can't come?"
"That's not the case." Maria shook her head, then hesitated and said, "Well, can you lend me some of the gold coins you looted from Father Bertrand?"
"Without the money, the church and the nursing home will be temporarily unable to operate. We have to wait until the next operating fund arrives."
"Is that so?" Ash scratched his head and realized that it seemed inappropriate for him to take all the money.
Ash counted out 10 gold coins from his purse and gave them to her: "No need to lend them. I was negligent. This money is your reward. After all, you will still be responsible for what happens next."
"Thank you." Maria took the money.
A message popped up in Ash's sight:
{Achievement: [Wealthy enough to rival a country III] achieved, reward: achievement points*4}
{Activate achievement · [Rich enough to rival a country IV]: Earn 156/1000 gold coins.}
'So a reasonable settlement method is needed to make wealth correctly.'
Ash was surprised when he saw the sudden message.
He thought that the wealth obtained through robbery was not counted as earned wealth, but he did not expect that it was not counted because he divided the spoils unfairly.
"Did you succeed on that end?" Maria asked.
"No." Ash shook his head, "Just checking out the spot."
If he hadn't planned to stay, Ash would have just assassinated and left, but he had chosen to stay, so he had to take into account the consequences of the assassination.
Although the nursing home was not well received, its kindness in raising Ash was irrefutable.
Without it, it would be questionable whether Ash could survive to adulthood in a social environment like that of Lusers.
Revenge when revenge is needed, repay favor when favor is needed, this is the creed that Ash was subtly influenced by in his previous life.
Ash doesn't want to bring trouble to the people around him.
"Oh." Maria nodded.
"I thought you would advise me not to kill? I remember that the Church of Evernight is the most forgiving one, right?" said Ash.
"We cannot forgive others on their behalf," Maria said. "Forgiveness is everyone's right. Even Lady Night cannot force others to forgive someone they don't want to forgive."
"You grew up in a hospice, how come you don't even know the church's creed?"
"What do you think?" Ash nodded towards the church.
Maria remained silent, and the clergy in the church were corrupted. One can imagine how the church's creed would be distorted.
"Anything else?" Ash asked.
"No." Maria shook her head.
"Then I'll be leaving first." Ash turned and left.
"Ah~" The dog barked at Maria, then followed Ash away.
Maria then noticed that there was a puppy next to Ash.
Back in the room, Ash took out the white mud he had bought last time, mixed it with water, and then took a bite.
Soft and with a little earthy smell.
"Not bad." Ash thought to himself, and then swallowed the dirt in small bites.
[Gluttony] activated, Ash's stomach and intestines moved tenaciously and powerfully, crushing the white mud so that it would not clump in the stomach.
Soon, Ash felt a feeling of fullness in his stomach, and a piece of information he wanted appeared in front of him.
{Achievement: [Eater of the Earth] achieved, reward: achievement point*1}
[Achievement Points: 13]
"What should I add?" Ash thought about how to use the achievement points.
The two new skills must be learned quickly, but there is no need to rush the bloodline as the body has not yet fully adapted.
Put all your efforts into [Chiko Swordsmanship]. Ash made up his mind. He still had an achievement [Breath Eater] to complete. There was no need to increase points in [Solar Breathing] for the time being, otherwise it would be more difficult for him to complete this achievement.
After allocating the achievement points, Ash immediately began to use them.
[Achievement Points: 13-》12]
{Learning skills: [Life Servant Contract] has been learned.}
Ash picked up the dog who was eating vegetables, his fighting spirit surged, and a bloody wound immediately appeared on his fingertips, and blood oozed out.
With his bloody fingers moving across the dog's forehead, Ash quickly drew a contract on it.
As the last stroke was made, a faint golden light appeared on the bloodstain and then penetrated into the body of the dog.
With the establishment of the [Life Servants' Contract], Ash suddenly felt that he and Rookie had an inexplicable connection.
"What skill should I give it?" Ash glanced at the skills on his panel.
The core of [Life Servant Contract] is that it can grant the pet an inherent skill possessed by its owner.
This skill is like a seed. While it benefits the pet, it also takes root and sprouts inside the pet like a seed.
If the pet is about to betray, the master can instantly draw on this skill to cause fatal damage to it.
Ash hesitated between [Iron Bones] and [Cat's Swiftness], the rest of the skills were either unsuitable or could not be bestowed.
For example, [Golden Flame of the Sun] can only be used by those who possess the bloodline of [Quetzalcoatl of the Sun].
Ash finally chose [Iron Bones], as [Cat's Swiftness] didn't seem to be very compatible with a newbie.
After being endowed with the skill, Ash felt a sense of weakness coming from his body, which was a sign that the source of his life was being extracted.
The vegetable dog ate the vegetables even more vigorously, as it felt very hungry.
{Achievement: [Warm Pet] Achieved, Reward: The pet can draw a learning skill that suits itself}
{Activate achievement [Bronze Evolution]: Evolve your pet from Iron to Bronze.}
Ash directly chose to extract.
{Extraction successful, learning skill [Green Hidden] has been passed down.}
【Green Hide】: Can blend into plants to become invisible.
"Oh?" There was confusion in the dog's watery eyes, and its little head seemed to be filled with a huge amount of knowledge.
[Achievement Points: 12-》11]
{Learning skill: [Fighting Spirit Nourishment] has been learned.}
Ash placed his palm on the dog's body, and the fighting spirit in his body slowly seeped into the dog's body.
"Aoao!" The dog immediately barked happily a few times. At this moment, it felt very comfortable, as if it was warmed by the sun.
About half an hour later, Ash finally removed his hand, and Cai Gou had already fallen asleep on his back.
After petting the dog for a while, Ash felt unconsciously calmer.
"As expected, cute fluffy things are a good cure."
Ash continued to add points.
