Chapter 140: Giving The Presents
This is the first time I ever cultivate using a magic stones. Even in my past life, I never did it. It"s obvious since I only had apt.i.tude in summoning element of which cultivating is not necessary to improve my level. But in the end, I died while still in beginner"s level.
I feel that my air element has slightly improved, but still not enough for me to level up into intermediate level. I guess I should turn more magic stones" element into air element. Maybe I should build more tank to store the stones so I can make a lot of them in one go.
And if there"s a leftover tank, maybe I could use them for oxygen tank. Although I might not need it, it can still be useful. Then once I entered medical college… if I entered medical college, I don"t know if Albert can do something about my graduation degree, I can tell every doctors about it. Then maybe I could finish school in one year. Or maybe less if I show them all my knowledge which come from the future.
Because of the war, medical skill also developed a lot. Just around ten years ago, whenever someone broke their bones and there"s no healer around, doctors would just amputate the broken limb. The knowledge of how to fix broken bones by surgery is still unknown after all.
I heard that the first surgery of fixing a broken bone was done in a country that"s at war with the neighboring country. I guess that"s make sense since there are a lot of people to use for experiment.
But now, medical knowledge has advanced slightly. And I know more than any doctors and surgeons in this world. I hope with my knowledge, medical advancement will happen faster and more illness can be healed faster than before.
In any case, I will only do that if I can attend medical college first. If I couldn"t become one, I"ll think another way but it might take a long time for my knowledge to spread by that time.
What about now? I"m still too young and no one will believe me because of that. Even though my mind is that of a 45 years old man, I"m still a 15 years old boy. Or maybe 16 now.
Let"s hope I won"t forget any medical knowledge I"ve ever learned.
I opened my eyes after cultivating for a few hours to see that it"s already noon. I checked the house with my Divine Vision and I can see that the girls are already returned and about to have lunch with everyone.
Did I skip breakfast? If I eat lunch twice, does the first lunch considered as breakfast?
It doesn"t matter whether I skipped breakfast or not if I keep eating, right?
I walked to the dining table where everyone is already seated and the meal has been prepared.
"Been a while, Roy." Angela greeted me.
The girls also smiled at me or waved their hands for greetings.
"When did you all return?" I pulled back my chair and sat on it while asking the girls.
"Just around one hour ago. We heard that you"re cultivating so we just leave you be. How was your journey?" Kayla asked.
"It"s good. I heard that three of you has improved your levels."
"Yes! My fire element has reached intermediate already. Soon, it will be my wind element that will reach Intermediate. Aren"t I great?" Angela proudly telling her achievements because of the journey.
"Yeah, yeah. I always know that you"re genius in magic. Good for you. Then, Kayla?" I turned my head to Kayla next to me.
"My healing magic. It has reached intermediate and now I can heal a more severe injury." Kayla replied as she smiled at me.
"You"re making healing magic your primary element? I thought that you wanted your earth element to improve first."
"That was in the past. Now I have a boyfriend who can only fight as vanguard so he will without a doubt get hurt over and over again. If I can"t protect him, at least I need to be able to heal him." Kayla said.
"…that"s a nice way of thinking. I"m moved to tears hearing you care about me so much." I wiped my teary eyes hearing Kayla"s reply. Then I moved my head to the opposite and face Sophie. "What about you?"
"It"s my lightning element. There are a lot of lightning element magic stones in the treasure chest we found in the dungeon here back then after all. As for my light element, there"s no change at all."
We chatted while having our lunch together. This time, everyone is seated together. We enjoyed our time together. Even Candy, Shirley, and Ian doesn"t feel like strangers anymore. Everyone is getting along really well. I bet it was because they have a lot of fun making fun of me.
Even during dinner, two out of three topics we talked about is about them making fun of me. For Clarence the clown, being made fun of is something great. But I"m not a clown right now so it"s not great.
After finishing our meal, Shirley asked me something she heard about from Victoria.
"Roy, I heard that you got treasures in a dungeon. I"ve never entered a dungeon before so I"m curious about them." Shirley asked.
"I only got two items. Both are equipable items. The first is this wand which I will give to Kayla." I took out the wand from my pocket and gave it to Kayla then I explain the function of the wand.
"So it"s basically similar to Blobby." Kayla said after hearing my explanation.
"Yes. The earth you gather will envelope the wand so you can"t make it into anything smaller than the wand. As someone who has Blobby, I can say that this is something amazing."
"Maybe I can make a bed made of clay just like Blobbybed. I guess I need to experiment a lot of things with this wand. Thanks, Roy." Kayla thanked me for the wand.
"You"re welcome. Then the next item is… Lina, has it dried yet?"
"I brought it with me. Here you go." Lina gave me a bag with the stocking inside of it. Why did she has to put it in a bag?
I put one hand inside the bag and pulled out the content of the bag.
"It"s this!" I showed everyone the magic item in my hand.
"…Roy, I never thought that you have a hobby of wearing that thing." Angela said.
"Ian already said that yesterday. You need to be more original." I said.
Then Victoria intervened.
"You returned home without catching anything? You"re a shame of a fisherman! Your father the legendary fisherman cried in heaven for you!" said Victoria.
"It"s turned into a drama? You sure answer like someone who writes stories. As you can see, this is a fishnet stocking. I got this on my journey after watching some kind of drama." Just like before, I also explain the function of the fishnet stocking to the wearer.
"Why fishnet stocking?" Sonia asked.
"I asked the same question, but I don"t know anyone who knows the answer. I thought of giving it to either Kayla or Sophie since they don"t have apt.i.tude in either ice or fire element. But since Kayla has received the wand, I thought to give it to Sophie. What do you think?" I asked Sophie about her opinion of receiving the stocking.
"Well… I don"t like fighting, but because war is coming, I thought I need to do my part as well. So I"ll gladly accept that. But I think I"ll wear a pants over these stocking." Sophie said.
"What about me, Master Roy? I"m not even in the corner of your mind?" Ian asked me.
"I know that you don"t have apt.i.tude to either element as well, but a falcon flying in the sky wearing a fishnet stocking is suspicious. So you"re no good."
And I don"t want to see it being worn by an old man.
"You said that you"ve seen a drama unfold and you got these stocking. What did you experience?" Victoria asked.
"A story of a broken heart. It started with their party stalking me inside the dungeon, then once they see the treasures, they stopped me and took the treasures for themselves. I told them that they can have it only after I"ve seen the effect of whatever inside that chest is." I explained.
"Of course you did. You"ve seen through the chest before they stopped you so you did it on purpose to let someone wear it!" Said detective Angela.
"Nice deduction, detective Angela! Then the leader of the party got entranced by the girl who wear this thing. Then two cult member who somehow invited by the leader attacked us in order to get this stocking. Then the couple had a fight and the party break up. None of them want this stocking filled with sad memory anymore so I took this with me."
"Do you then get along with the girl?" Victoria asked skeptically.
"What? You think I tried to seduce a girl who just got her heart broken? No! Ah, by the way, the two girls in that party seem to be from this city so we might meet them." I said.
"Really? What"s their name? Maybe we have met them before." Kayla asked about the girls" ident.i.ties.
"I think they are… Jose and Rosephine." I don"t remember their names clearly.
"What kind of names are those? I don"t think we meet them before." Kayla said.
"Alright. Then I"ll be going diving now. Bye."
After giving the two items to Kayla and Sophie, I left the house to find more treasures. I need to have a lot of savings since now I know that my money will be taken from me so easily.
And few days pa.s.s by peacefully without any incident in Ca.s.sau.
