Chapter-52: fourth floor cleared with great harvest
Ratika is not in a hurry to hunt them all this time. She took her time slowly to kill those monsters using other tricks and preserved the fur and other things carefully. The easy to kill monsters are naturally the beasty type monsters.
After all she used the stun inducing powder smoke using the special leaves she collected. Yes instead of using those animal hunting sleep inducing dart guns, she used the dried leaves and grass of the dungeon to make simple fire in a basin.
Then sprinkled the power of sleep inducing to turn it into smoke and fawned it towards the room. When the monsters are stunned she would shoot them with cross bows with higher precision at specific area to induce bleeding effect.
She was also careful to hit at specific areas where the bleeding is higher but did not damage the material of the fur. As for the goblins they are directly stunned and killed with cross bows. Her precision has improved significantly after practicing for the last two days.
So with the previous efforts, improved stats and skill upgrades she was able to quickly attack and kill those beasts and monsters without lowest amount of force and time. When she goes to the next room she would take the basin with fire produced from leaves and coal she has.
The basin has a handle for easy to carry and she would fan the flames well before sprinkling the stun powder into it to produce stun smoke. Then she would let the smoke fill the room to stun those monsters.
When they are stunned she would kill them. Because there is too much smoke the stun time is also not short. They would be stunned and she would kill them quickly with cross bows. But this kind of thing is only possible before level 10.
After that the potency of the stun powder will lose its power and need stronger ones. So Ratika started to learn alchemy that is trying to improve this stun powder that is specific for the beasts and creatures.
Also the materials outside are not strong enough and she has to use the materials from the dungeon. Around the tenth floor there will be rare herbs and poisons available in the treasure chests. These can be used for making new medicine.
When resting she started to cook this kind of medicine. The medicine or poison is only complete when she can make an antidote for the thing. Even the system considers this as a complete set. Both poison and antidote should be produce to make it a complete set.
Just like that she started to practice and hunt the monsters slowly. After completing all of this she did not waste time but practice. She once again searched around but could not find anything good.
There are secret stashes but these did not produce same good things as when the protagonist or heroine is present. There are some dungeon coins and some potions. The best thing is a skill called fire ball.
It is a very basic magic spell and at lowest level that is beginner level it is at best useful for lighting a fire. Ratika directly integrated this spell and started to improve. She started to learn and practice other skill that she newly gained like the identification and alchemy.
Cooking and alchemy are interrelated. When cooking food, it is both the poison and the antidote, so there is no need to produce a second thing for it. With this discovery she made more and more dishes in smaller quantities.
For lunch and dinner he usually eats at least 7 to 8 kinds of items in small quantities. With improvement in stats her energy consumption also increased correspondingly. So she has to eat more and also exercise more.
They saw that exercising would reduce weight but there are two sides to this statement. When exercising the weight is lost only to some level and then it would start gaining weight because of the formation of the muscle.
If you stopped exercising then this muscle would slowly turn back into fat. That is how things are. You have to know this balance point and work along with it to gain the maximum benefit when exercising if you really want to lose your weight.
Well Ratika wanted to become strong instead of losing weight. So she started to work hard without resting much and utilizing the things the maximum limit. Another 2 days passed by and the fourth floor of the dungeon is over.
She opened her status panel before leaving the dungeon to check her gains.
