The Cardboard Explorer

Thus, not everyone will go with the attack team. The injured and some of the explorers decided to stay at their camp to guard the injured and the camp.

It was currently night and Cade sat under a tree to rest. He had his own tent but he decided to take some nice air before he went to sleep.

Cade checked his stats, skill list and storage. While looking at his stats, he sighed as he was lacking in a lot of things.

His endurance and vitality were high and his strength was ok but not that good. His dexterity and wisdom were seriously low.

"Since I don"t have any magic skills, my wisdom is not that important. My equipment is good and enough to defend me and thus, without much speed, I can still defend myself against my opponent attack, so, I can ignore my dexterity for a while," thought Cade.

Looking at his skill list, Cade sighed again. There was nothing much to say about his skills. He can only learn about two more skills before he will be unable to learn more skill.

Due to his slime bloodline, Cade was stuck with low amount of skill the slime possessed. He cannot learn any other skill from any other monster and thus, he was stuck with less skill.

Luckily, he can increase his skill grade which he recently found from Rico that others were unable to do so easily. They can actually increase their skill grade but it was not as easy as Cade with the magic stone.

According to Rico, when their skill reach level 10, the system will send out notification on how they can increase the skill grade. From what he knew, the method of increasing the skill grade was different from skill to skill.

However, the similar things about them was that they all needed to gather some kind of materials in order to raise the skill grade. Rico was also looking for the material.

Thanks to the information from Rico, Cade finally found out one of the uses of the material drop. Increasing in skill grade was important as the higher the skill grade, the stronger it will be.

Thus, the material drops value might increase if demand for it increased. However, material drop was not that rare and thus, its value might not increase that much.

"One more level and I can finally learn one of the slime skills," said Cade. He was currently at level 14 and when he reached level 15, he will be able to learn one more skill.

Cade had long been in possession of the last two slime bloodline skill books, the transform skill and soul skill. He had them in his storage but he cannot learn them as he had reached his skill limit.

When he was able to reach level 15, Cade decided to learn the soul skill first as the transform skill had some kind of demerit on using them and at his current situation, it was better for him to learn the skill without any backlash to him.

Cade moved on and checked his storage. He sighed again because it was filled with lots of the boarman"s body that were undergoing the process of essence extraction.

"Urgh… I have seen this everyday but it still hard to get used to it. One or two is fine but many of them at the same time is still a bit too much for me…" thought Cade while he was looking at the pile of boarman"s body in his storage.

Moving on from that pile of body, Cade saw the unused colored b.u.t.terfly figure complete puzzle that he had collected before.

Cade can used them but they were all E grade and won"t give him much stat points compare to the D grade. He cannot be too choosy at his current situation but he still decided to not take it.

At the moment, he can survive the world dungeon with his current stat. There was no need to waste the limit he had for the figure complete puzzle. It was better for him to wait to get better complete puzzle.

"I want to give this to Jonathan but I don"t know where he is. I wonder if he is still alive?" Thought Cade and he shook his head immediately and said, "No, I am sure he is still alive. Let"s not be negative," thought Cade.

Since there was no way for him to contact Jonathan, Cade can only hope that he was fine. Not only Jonathan, Cade was worried about Viola too.

Cade had only met Viola during the incident with the humanoid toad or possibly the toad race once and they never met again. However, they did talk to each other through phone many times after that.

Cade also talked with many others through phone and some of them decided to enter the world dungeon too. He was worried about them too.

However, to Cade, out of them all, Jonathan felt more important to him as he spent quite a lot of time with him and they were quite close too. Jonathan was Cade"s first closest friend.

While looking at all the complete puzzle in his possessions, he thought that it will be a waste if he let it stayed in his storage like that for more time.

"Hmm… should I give this to Rico?" thought Cade. He and Rico had gotten quite closed with each other since they met in the world dungeon. Though he did not know much about Rico, he knew that Rico was a nice person.

Thanks to them being cla.s.smate, it was easy for them to talk to each other while they were in the world dungeon. They can actually talk with other explorers but most of them were older than Cade and Rico and it was hard to talk to them.

The difficulty of talking with someone older than them increased considering them not the type to talk a lot.

They getting closed was also thanks to their personality of "not talking much" being the same. They felt like they can understand each other better because they have quite the same personality.

"But Rico is part of a powerful family that no one here know which one and it will be a problem if he reports about me in possession of a lot of the complete puzzle to his family… They are greedy after all," thought Cade.

He scratched his head as he was not sure what he should do. "Should I give this to Mr. Ben? He is a bit annoying to talk to but he is not yet part of any family and he want to create his own family," said Cade.

"Even if he manage to form his family in the future and becoming stronger, he won"t be able to mess around with me at the time because I will become stronger too… and I am possibly to have my own family too at that time," thought Cade and he suddenly blushed by himself imagining himself in a happy family.

"However, I think this puzzle is useless to Mr. Ben because he had awakened his bloodline. I don"t know what the awakened bloodline did to him but everyone here acknowledged it that he had become really strong compare to before he awakened," thought Cade.

Cade closed his system and stared at all the explorers who were busy with preparations for the attack on the boarman"s base.

Cade then stared at the sky and, "I hope everything will be happening as plan tomorrow." Cade yawned as he felt sleepy and he decided to get back to his tent to sleep.

As he was walking towards his tent, he suddenly came up with an idea. "That"s right, I can do that too," said Cade and he immediately went to his tent to persecute the idea he just came up with.

Rico was busy with the preparations and he finally finished it late at night that day. He walked back to his tent while ma.s.saging his shoulder. When he entered his tent, he saw that there was a weird bundle of clothes in his tent.

"What is that? Is someone leaving a baby in my tent?" thought Rico because it looked like that bundle of clothes were covering something and he remembered seeing something similar when he read news about people abandoning their baby.

He carefully got closer to that bundle of clothes and he did not hear a baby cries or anything similar to that. Then, he saw there was a note beside that bundle of clothes.

Rico read the note, "Don"t tell anyone about this," and he looked at the bundle of clothes. He removed the clothes and suddenly light shone brightly at him and he immediately covered the light.

"That is…" said Rico and he touched what inside without removing the clothes and he got a notification from the system. Reading the notification, Rico"s face turned serious.

"Who gave me this?" said Rico.
