Chapter 21 - New Categories
[Congratulations, New Ability Acquired: Poison Resistance!]
Ooohhh!
Jem did what the trader suggested to him. He bought the Furious Fangs in the Trader Shop but what appeared next surprised him.
He got a poison resistance!
Jem read further the details and learned that it was a passive, a kind of ability that is always in effect. It was already a huge benefit to him to fill the gap in his teeth. Yet, he received a good addition, a poison resistance ability!
With this, he would not need to worry about getting poisoned. Plus, he didn\'t need to spend his Ex-energy to activate it.
What a convenient skill!
Aside from that, the trader was right. Jem has no discomfort even after equipping the fangs.
Since the fangs weren\'t as small as his tooth, the lack of three teeth was enough for the fangs to fill the gap. Also, they turned to ordinary teeth, but if Jem summoned Ex-energy to his fangs, just then, it would grow longer and sharper. A good weapon for biting.
Hehe.
He could not hold back the chuckle because of excitement.
After spending 100 Trade Points to the fangs, his total Trade Points left was 100.
But to his surprise, there was another surprise; after trading all the valuable materials, he accomplished a hidden quest and unlocked helpful categories.
[Congratulations, you traded a total of 10 claws!]
[Claw-series equipment is now available in the Trading Shop - Weapon category!]
[Congratulations, you traded a total of 10,000 grams of meat!]
[Food is now available in the Trading Shop - Food Supply category!]
Woah! His eyes and mouth widened in disbelief.
Jem first browsed his weapon category. There, he saw the new items!
"Sharp Claw Knife!"
"And also, Sharp Claw Dagger?!"
"The knives cost 15 points each while the daggers cost 20 points each."
"There are five knives and twelve daggers available to purchase with Trade Points!"
While gazing at the items, he noticed the blades were the claws he traded. And the handles were made from bones!
Surprisingly, they looked as good as those made by a smith or expert crafter.
Jem proceeded to check the next category, the Food Supply category!
There were only those fresh meats in it. They cost 50 Trade Points per kilo. So expensive! He wanted to shout. But because he could not do it in this place, he could only swallow back the bitterness of life.
Well, isn\'t this convenient? He didn\'t need to run to the market or any shops to get meat. And as long as he would never run out of Trade Points, food would never be a problem to him again, though it didn\'t change the fact that he still needed to hunt to feed himself. After all, he needed points to purchase those meats. He could also gather some valuable objects. But in this place? It is so hard to find profitable items around him.
There might be some precious materials somewhere in this dungeon, but Jem could not risk his life searching for some of them.
So, for now, his source of income was by hunting beasts.
It was still reasonable to keep meat jerky with him. However, it didn\'t mean that the Food Supply wasn\'t helpful. Honestly, it was an exceedingly beneficial category to the Trader\'s Shop additon.
It put him at ease. As long as he would not run out of Trade Points, he didn\'t need to worry about running out of food supply.
In the end, he bought two knives and a dagger.
The knives cost him 30 points in total, and the dagger was 20. So, in total, he spent 50 points. He was left with 50 for reservations in case he runs out of food.
After resting enough, Jem walked near the wall and drew an X mark on it. Then, he distanced himself. He stood about ten meters away, facing it.
Next, he fastened the knives and dagger on his hips and waist. He calmed his breathing after preparing all that he needed to do. His eyes were gazing at the X mark. In his mind, the X mark seemed like the eye of the beast.
After a bead of sweat fell on the ground, his hand hastily took one of the knives, then threw it to the X mark.
Fwoosh!
An air-piercing sound followed right after!
He needed to practice! He needed to survive in this hellish place.
