Finally, a level up. The quest is now done for.

Gamo started walking and walking to the ant hill until he heard something.

*Rustle Rustle*

Sounded like it was a little fast, running through the dirt, not big enough to make the grass shake though.

*Rustle*

It got closer then it stopped. Gamo started looking for the source

"What is causing that sound? Maybe it's a bug?"

He looked around and saw it climbing on top of a grass... IT WAS A APHID!

"...This might be the jackpot, If I bring it back then I might got lots of exp... or I could eat it now..."

The aphid stopped for a little and decided not to climb up the grass. Instead, it was going closer to Gamo...

"Hm? Why is it getting closer? Oh wait... Aren't aphids basically cows for ants because they release honey dew? So even if I bring it back nobody will eat them. Ugh, stupid forgetful me."

The aphid stopped in front of Gamo, a little far from him still, but the aphid went away, carefree.

"Hmmm... But I could get honeydew myself and feed some larvae, but I don't wanna do something like that and have to regurgitate it... Why am I even thinking of doing this anyway, ew..."

Gamo shudders remembering when he was a larvae and had to be fed mouth to mouth. Then he got a Heard a ding

"Huh?"

"Ah crap. I shouldn't have given it ideas... did it really have to make the penalty that severe? And I also can't finish this today because I got to finish the Resources quest. I gotta do it tomorrow, early in the morning then. If I complete this quest, that is... I swear this is like the equivalent of doing homework."

"I'll just focus on getting the dried leaf for now and look for aphids tomorrow."

Welp, while it was still dark Gamo went to the dried leaf that was near the anthill but it seems that 10 other red ants under it are helping to bring it back to the anthill already. However Gamo has a little idea, maybe he can contribute and also get experience for it

"Maybe I could contribute and get exp for it, Because the dried leaf itself is big, a little smaller than a usual dried leaf to the human eye but still big compared to ants. I should go on the side where it's not getting support."

Gamo went to the left of him and helped be support to bring it back... But it was HEAVY.

"H-Hut!"

He pushed up the leaf and went under it quickly and slowly laid on his back.

"Y-Yeah, definitely heavy, about as heavy as the pebbles my size but just a little march won't hurt."

So he walked in sync with the fellow red ants beside him and kept walking and saw a aphid on the way back. After about a minute they reached the nest and the workers started chewing it into a pulp.

___________________________

"This... I wouldn't say op but it's absolutely USEFUL. Especially when you are a worker ant. Maybe when it is leveled up this could be absolutely dominating in the daily resources quest. But other than that, now I know that contributing counts as exp, but I feel like I didn't get the full value of exp and kinda just shared exp even though the ant's don't have a system.."

"Wait but the leaf counted as 10 resources, Well that's good but that also means bigger stuff means more contribution, I'm not even gonna check my progress, I'll just follow the red ants and get contribution exp from now on"

He followed the red ants as they went to a uneven shaped pebble 3x their size but some of the red ants split up and that left Gamo with 3 red ants. Luckily his teamwork skill is still able to be in affect.

"Well it's big alright, but I think we can do this if we take 4 corners of it"

The 3 red ants went under the pebble and tried picking it up but it rolled of course because they weren't in good positioning. So Gamo tried his best to position them by using pheromones and sounds

"You move over here"

The red ant barely responded and got confused for a little bit so instead Gamo put down pheromones and the red ant followed it and then Gamo stopped with his pheromones and the ant also stopped.

So Gamo went to the next pheromones quickly because he knew the ant before was just going to try and pick it up and move it with no plan in mind, but before it would collect it's thoughts to do that, Gamo quickly went to the next ant to position him too and then the ant after him, doing quick dashes while doing so.

Now it was his turn to get into position before they start moving it...

"C'mon quickly, quickly!"

[You learned a new skill called das-]

"NEXT TIME SYSTEM, NOT NOW!"

Gamo just made it in time before they started moving it and started moving it back to the ant hill.

"HUT!"

The corner Gamo was on leaning because he was getting slightly crushed

"N-no, Come on..."

[The Skill Teamwork is in effect. (1 or more people)]

"HUUU..!"

It started to weigh less to him but was still struggling to walk.

"C-Come on... Pick it up and walk!"

He was struggling but he was slowly making progress in moving the pebble

"One... And then... Two..."

While he and the red ants were bringing it back, 2 fellow red ants came along, most likely because of the pheromones. So they joined in and help with one of them on Gamo's side and one in the back, pushing.

[Teamwork gives you an extra 4% STR (5 or more people)]

"Phew. Way easier with more ants helping and this skill giving me a little more strength. Alrighty then, let's go on and bring it back"

After a while they bring it back, and the moon is
