Aron worked at Roger"s farm from morning to afternoon, after that he ran few laps around the village. A week pa.s.sed like this, his stats rose a little.[STR:0,9 AGI:0,95 END:1,35 INT:0,5 CHA:0,6 PER:20]
Thanks to regular meals with Roger his body started looking like a human being. Negative trait [Malnourished] was deleted from his status, and he felt pretty good. Most of his skills progressed slowly.
[Cleaning lv.3 (164/500), Fieldwork lv5(locked), Running lv.6(467/1000), Plucking lv.max]
The cleaning skill was the most underestimated skill by him, the third level could rival the most vigorous housewife. Fieldwork reached 5th level and became locked, the system didn"t give him an answer what does it mean. It was weird but a simple thing like running could be improved by using the right technique and every next level of surprised him more.
Aron finished his training and thought that it"s not enough, he needs more skills and started pondering inside of his hut for a long time. Being stupid, limited his mind very much and made thinking a lot harder than an ordinary person would suffer.
[Hidden Quest cleared.]
[Quest name: Stop Staring!]
[Quest goal: Stare at something for more than an hour.]
[Reward: Appraisal Sub-system.]
"Holy Molly! Appraisal?" He didn"t know, how his new skill worked, so he decided to check this out.
[Wooden Wall]
"Not much information...but it"s useful I think. Let"s level up this skill"
[Appraisal leveled up]
[Rotten Wooden Wall of Aron"s hut]
"More information with every level, it will get interesting when it will be high leveled."
[Appraisal lv.1 7/1000]
The number of points required to level up was sky-high, and it was only from level 1 to level 2. This skill proficiency was raised quite easy, a simple stare could appraise anything. After appraising for some time, he fell asleep.
Roger decided that Aron will help him with making a new field.
"I will show you, how to plow the earth for sowing." He instructed him and made Aron repeat.
His fieldwork actually corrected a little his movement and made his plowing more efficient.
[Skill Plowing generated. Plowing lv.0(1/10)]
[Due to constant hardworking positive trait: Hardworking was generated.]
Aron felt that his body became lighter and his mind stopped wandering from his job. Unconsciously, he became grinding appraisal and it was interesting because he could actually appraise the Roger.
[Name: Roger]
[Race: Human]
"I will be able to see more if I level up appraisal more." It was cheat-like ability, you could actually spy on people and this will be definitely useful to Aron in the future.
They plowed the field together with the Roger, the skill was leveling up very fast due it"s simplicity. It took them only a few hours, however, he reached level max before finis.h.i.+ng the job. After the meal, Roger said.
"I think you have the potential to become a good farmer. Why don"t you move to one of the rooms in my house?" It wasn"t easy to say these words to the boy, but he deeply cared about him. Aron"s hut needed a lot of repairs, and he wasn"t up to this task.
"I will kindly accept your offer. Thank you!" Said Aron with sincerity.
The kid came back to his hut and took everything useful and went back to the farm. Roger pointed him, one of the rooms inside his house and went back to his activities.
The room was in a complete mess, yet a few hours of cleaning and it will be a nice place to live. There were many old and rusted things, he thought it will be interesting to appraise all of these and find their purpose.
[Appraisal lv.2(42/5000)]
"This skill will take me ages to level up." The first level required 200 proficiency points, 2nd level 1000 and 3rd require 5 thousand.
The room was full of useless stuff but there were few quite interesting items here.
