Novel Bin Chapter 6 - 6
Everything would be much easier if she knew more about this world. Nero understood that and she knew that she needed to stay strong and get information.
\'Another thing is my wings...\'
Nero was able to flap her wings, but she still didn\'t know how to fly. Since she had time, she tried to move her wings. With her eyes closed, Nero concentrated all her attention on her wings. It was like trying to ride a bike; although she managed to flap her wings, making gusts with her wings, Nero was afraid of falling.
\'I\'ll go for insurance.\'
Nero hovered close to the ground while flapping her wings loudly.
*Pow!*
Nero lost her balance and hit a tree head-on. Falling to the ground, she touched her nose and saw blood.
\'Urghh! That hurt,\' Nero pouted as she got up.
*Howl*
Nero heard a wolf howl. It seemed far away, but that was enough to make her scared. She shivered slightly and became alert, looking this way and that.
_ _
· [For going more than 1000 meters away from your summoned monster, Green Slime returned to the summoning room.]
_ _
"Kya!!"
Nero gave a sudden cry, surprised to see a new page open in front of it.
"What a scare..." She murmured. Placing her hand on her chest, she tried to calm down. Managing to stay calm, she shook her head, and dusted off her clothes, and shook the dust off her wings. \'I need more practice.\'
She didn\'t try to fly again. Nero already lost her summoning monster and saw that it would take 1 minute to be able to call again. That\'s when she thought, \'I remember now that I got some items after killing those monsters.\'
Nero opened her inventory. In her inventory, she saw the following things: 1 Rank F [Thin Stem]; low quality. 8 Rank F [Sticky Mucus]; low quality. 4 [Green Grass] Rank F; low quality. Also 127 Essence Coins.
*Ron!*
\'That reminds me, I haven\'t eaten anything since this all happened to me,\' Nero thought as she heard her stomach growl and hurt a little. She then thought about using the system to look at the names of plants and fruits in search of something to eat.
"First of all, I want to see what these things in the inventory are for," Nero muttered as she moved her hand towards the green grass. Taking one of the items in her left hand, she saw the information about it.
_ _
· Item: [Green Herb] - Rank F; low quality.
· Medicinal herb used for poison.
· Usage: Has the ability to detoxify / Rank F medicinal properties.
_ _
\'Mm, this will be useful in case I get poisoned... Well, let me see what the other two are like.\' Nero took her hand to the other slot where [Thin Stem] was. Taking it with her free hand, she saw the information about it.
_ _
· Item: [Thin Stem] - Rank F; low quality.
· A thin plant stem.
· Usage: Medicinal properties, Rank F.
_ _
\'Mm, it\'s something to make medicine...\' Nero was unaware of this world, so she didn\'t think about it much. After putting the stem back in the inventory, hesitantly, she summoned some of that disgusting sticky mucus to her hand.
_ _
· Item: [Sticky Mucus] - Rank F; low quality.
· Mysterious sticky liquid.
· Usage: Medicinal properties, Rank F.
_ _
\'It\'s another item to make medicine, but what medicine is made with this disgusting thing?\' Nero shook her head and put it back in her inventory.
After looking at all the items\' information, Nero tried to summon an Essence Coin. It was easier than she imagined, the moment her hand came up, as if it knew her intention, a screen on the side said to choose the amount she wanted to take.
Apparently, she could take a coin with a value of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100. Taking only one Essence Coin, she examined its information.
_ _
· Item: [1 Essence] - Essence Coin.
· Natural Energy Essence Mineral.
· Use: Currency used on Planet Lumina / Used to increase Hunters\' powers.
_ _
\'Hunters? Would that be something like adventurers?\' The thought of using the Essence Coin to increase her power went through Nero\'s head.
Nero could feel a small vibration in the Essence Coin she was holding. She then closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to absorb the coin\'s energy.
_ _
· Would you like to absorb the Energy Essence of the coin [1 Essence]?
_ _
\'Hehe. It worked!\' Nero was super happy to have guessed right.
She went and clicked on [Yes].
_ _
· You have increased 0.2 Energy Points.
_ _
It seems the increase in attributes is small when using this coin...\' However, Nero reflected and saw that it was not as little as she initially thought, since she got this Essence Coins very easily through her mission and killing monsters.
Once again, Nero opened her inventory. This time, she took out another coin: [5 Essence]. This coin, besides looking brighter, also had the number 5 of this world printed in the center of it.
\'Now, how do I know it\'s 5?\' Nero was surprised to learn that information, especially because she had no knowledge of this world.
\'Is this something like people who have lost their memories but can still remember the names of things and even speak?\' Nero became confused again. It was strange to know something that she didn\'t even know she knew. She thought about it for a few long minutes, but was unable to reach any conclusions. The most sensible thing that she managed to guess was it might be because the ex-owner of the body knew these things and it turned out that she somehow knows them now as well.
With the coin in her palm, Nero closed her eyes and began to absorb the energy contained in the coin.
_ _
· Would you like to absorb the Energy Essence of the coin [5 Essence]?
_ _
Nero opened her eyes briefly and clicked [Yes].
_ _
· You have increased 0.7 Energy Points.
· You have increased 0.3 Strength Points.
_ _
Now knowing about the existence of other Essence Coin values, Nero opened her inventory and took out a coin with the value of 10 Essence. She was already more accustomed after doing this twice; this time she didn\'t even have to close her eyes to absorb the energy of the coin.
_ _
· Would you like to absorb the Energy Essence of the coin [10 Essence]?
_ _
Without thinking twice, she clicked: [Yes].
_ _
· You have increased 1.5 Energy Points.
· You have increased 0.5 Strength Points.
_ _
\'This feeling of increased strength and energy is incredible. And the more points you increase, the better it looks.\'
One thing she also thought was that unfortunately it only increased her strength and energy, but when thinking about being more powerful at level 1, she somehow found this idea incredible.
Because she liked the feeling of increased strength and energy, Nero wanted to try using an Essence Coin worth 100.
_ _
· Would you like to absorb the Energy Essence of the coin [100 Essence]?
_ _
[Yes]. She clicked.
_ _
· You have increased 11.6 Energy Points.
· You have increased 8.4 Strength Points.
· Energy (Mana) has reached the maximum allowed level.
_ _
\'Err. So there is an attribute limit per level....\' Nero was a little disappointed, but soon she got over it and thought about continuing to use Essence Coins to increase her strength.
