"It''s not a good joke you know?" Rosa frowned slightly as she nced at the bottle in Leo''s hand. Seeing the glint in Leo''s eyes as he seriously studied the green essence with the mixture of flesh inside the bottle fervently...
Rosa couldn''t help but gulp nervously.
"Wait... Don''t tell me he''s not joking around?"
...Is he really from mental before the apocalypse? She couldn''t help but suspect Leo.
...
Leo didn''t bother nor hear the voice of the woman beside him at all since all his attention was currently preupied with the green essence on his hand.
Earlier as Kristine was walking away, he was about to put the essence on his inventory when suddenly, out of nowhere, a brilliant thought passed/appeared through his mind.
"Why not use my Extraction skill toward this green essence... I could extract the impurities that way!"
With shining eyes and the feeling of a wise aura enveloping his body, Leo activated his extraction skill toward the green essence on his hand.
Sure enough, after activating his "Extraction" skill toward the bottle, a feeling of being in control of the liquid inside the bottle resurfaces within him.
It indeed works!
Feeling enlightened, Leo carefully forced out all the flesh inside the bottle. Due to it being in solid(semi-solid) state Leo easily forced it all out outside in no time.
After forcing all the tidbits of flesh outside, Leo then began to manipte the little dust(stone) inside causing his mind to feel a slight headache due to the hardness of the job... Soon, after a minute of maniption, Leo''s forehead began to drip with sweat and his back also began to feel cold.
Sigh...
I could manipte dust if I''m focused and careful enough, however and unfortunately, If I got distracted for a little... my control of the dust would disappear causing me to start from the beginni... Damn!
Leo suddenly cursed inside his head when the dust slipped under his control causing him to start again.
Again...
F*ck I failed, Again!
Again...
Failed... Again!
Soon, 10 minutes passed by.
Sighing deeply after sessfully forcing all the little dust(stone) inside the green essence, Leo slumped to the ground as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Hahaha! I seeded!" Leo upon using his soul scan toward the bottle in his hand suddenlyughed out loud causing the group to look at him in confusion.
[ Zombie Essence (Common - High) (75% purity): A good material for countless grade 1 potions... Suitable for concocting strength, stamina, and health potion...
Note 1: You could drink it safely!
Note 2: Consuming the Zombie Essence directly could increase the strength stat by 1 permanently!
Note 3: It can only be consumed once per 4 days! ( If you consume other unprocessed materials, It is best/safe if you wait for two days before consuming this! )
Note 4: Due to the unique physique of the host, he could consume different unprocessed material twice per 4 days! (Only work if the materials have 70% and above purity!) ]
"Still, unfortunately, the blood and essence of the zombie already got mixed together... Increasing its purity to another level is almost impossible."
With Excitement building inside him, Leo turned his head toward the dumbfounded group that was probably shocked due to his previousugh.
Approaching the group happily, Leo said loudly.
"Look, look, I seed. We can now get permanent strength stat upon consuming this zombie essence!" Leo didn''t care about their awkward and bit of disgusted look as he exined the bottle in his hand.
"Not only it could increase strength stat by 1 permanently! We could also drink this every 4 days!
"Not bad right, If you want this I can give you this one as a form of tester." Without thinking too much, Leo tossed the bottle containing the green liquid (zombie essence) to Mr. Rnd in front of him.
Cough!
"Ahhem, this..." Clearing his throat as he stared at the battle in his hand, Rnd couldn''t help but shudder slightly at the thought of drinking it as he tossed the bottle back to Leo.
"Since this is... the fruit of yourbor, it only made sense for you to... TASTE it."
"Right, it made sense."
"True... You... really deserve it..."
"+1."
The group unisonlymented before looking at Leo curiously if he would really drink the bottle filled with zombie essence just to increase his stats by 1.
Although it is really tempting to increase their stats by one, drinking the essence of zombies is already beyond their morals.
"I see, thank you!" Leo upon hearing Mr. Rnd, immediately unscrewed the cap of the bottle before directly drinking the green essence inside without showing a sign of disgust.
Although Leo knew what was running inside the mind of the group, he remained unaffected by it as he drank all the liquid within the bottle.
Having spent most of his time within the horde of zombies (Daily seeing the wriggling worm inside them), being dead once, having a ghost body and mind/thought of a ghost, and being in the venge of death in the past. Leo''s disgust is already at the level of minimal!
"Gosh, he really drinks it!"
Buaack!
"The taste is not bad."
Seeing Leo''s blissful expression upon consuming the essence of the zombie as if he drank something good.
Except for the child who was covering his eyes and Rnd, the group couldn''t control their body anymore as they bent slightly, holding their stomach before puking to the ground.
Buackk!
Ding!
+11,500 horror points! (Seeing Leo''s blissful expression gives them chills!)
[ Congrattions upon scaring a group for the first time! ]
+1,000 horror points and additional +1 free attribute points!
+1 strength!
Feeling the slight burning sensation on his muscles and the feeling of a slight increase in his strength, Leo''s eyes lit up further.
"3 stats in a single... I mean 4 days! If I did a simple calction I almost could gain a 21-24 increase in my stats every month and approximately 252-288 a year!"
This... Wouldn''t I be invincible by then?
Indeed my choice of choosing this ss job is correct!
