Buggy System
Zhao Yun was looking at his status window and was contemplating whether he should go full stamina or increase his strength and agility.
"Ahhh, f*ck it, I`ll just put it all to stamina since I can open the last two passive skills as well," Zhao Yun decided.
*Ding* You have learned the skill "Steel Bones" Do you want to read its descriptions? yes or no?
"Yes" he mumbled
*Ding* *Steel Bones* transforms your bones making them as strong as steel.
"Nice," Zhao Yun thought
*Ding* You have learned the skill *Error*
*Ding* Sorry, there is no skill called Error
*Ding* Error
*Ding* Error
"WTF is happening with this system," Zhao Yun exclaimed in his mind
*Ding* FIxing Error... Fixing Error... Fixing Error
*Ding* Failed to fix. The skill was not learned
"Seriously?? What the heck is this buggy system?" Zhao Yun complained, of course in his mind, since Coach is already sleeping.
*Ding* Sorry hehe, Don`t worry about this bug, it won`t affect your progress.
"Huuuh? I literally just failed to acquire a skill that I should have got and you`re telling me it won`t affect my progress? The skills that I manage to get for free are shit tier and you even have this shitty bug plus you give me your shitty stamina mechanics. What more shitty thing does a shitty system like you have?" Zhao Yun continued his complaints.
*Ding* We are really sorry for this inconvenience you are experiencing right now, so we would like to give you a free random item from the shop. We hope for your kind consideration as we fix this bug.
"..." Zhao Yun didn`t respond
*Ding* You have received a *lottery ticket* Do you want to use it now? yes or no?
"... Yes," Zhao Yun was still fuming but he decided to move on and check his new reward.
A sound just like from those gacha games where you spin for special characters was in Zhao Yun`s mind, the system started the random spin.
*Ding* Congratulations! You have bought the talisman book "Paper Bomb"
"Hey shitty system, how do I learn this talisman thing," Zhao Yun was obviously still mad about earlier.
*Ding* Same procedure with the skill books, pill recipe books also has the same procedure.
Zhao Yun read the talisman book, with the help of his passive skill *Instant Reading*, he easily learned how to make "Paper Bomb" talismans.
*Ding* You have learned the creation of "Paper Bomb Talisman"
"Making talisman only require a talisman paper, a brush, and ink, plus the right stroke of the characters to make a talisman, hmmm that should be easy enough" Zhao Yun`s mood slightly improved.
Zhao Yun took out monsters from his dimensional bag and started dismantling them, he put the dismantled monster materials on the empty rucksack he has. After dismantling for an hour, he managed to finish all of the monsters he has and procure three bags full of monster materials, thrice the amount of what they sold at noon.
"Okay, this should be worth at least 5 silvers," Zhao Yun postulated.

Meanwhile,
A human figure clad in black clothes can be seen traversing the rooftops with incredible speed, and incredible stealthiness. Luckily in this Bordertown, no one really bothers looking at the rooftops so this shadow wouldn`t be seen, not this time. The shadow moved as if he was following someone, then immediately change directions as if following another one, this continued for several minutes. "I can`t believe they didn`t show up," the shadow figure muttered as he continued dashing through the night, he has the voice of a man that would be very familiar for Zhao Yun. "Where the heck are they? They should have known that I`m coming to escort them back, tsk I really hope they`re safe," he added. Then on a dark alley nearby, a woman`s scream was heard for a short time before vanishing, "Ahhhh."
"That was a woman`s scream I heard just now," The shadow figure went into the dark alley and vanished into the dark.
----------
In the inn opposite the inn Zhao Yun is staying, two figures are talking conspicuously inside a room.
"I tell you, the guy with the cart from earlier, he went in that inn over there, and I found out he has storage ring," A robed man said while he looked towards the inn Zhao Yun is staying.
"Not another one of your wrong assumptions, What if you`re wrong again?" the hooded man replied distrustfully.
"Why can`t you belive me this time, just before you arrive, I was watching the guy carefully from my window, and then suddenly monsters just started appearing out of nowhere as well as three rucksacks. How do you explain? I tell you he has a storage ring, this is a big fish we`re seeing, we can`t let this chance slip by. The price of a storage ring is enormous, it`ll increase our fighting power substantially. You and I both know that we need all the money we can get if we want to start this," The robed man urged.
"Hmmm, yes I know it but still, I don`t want to hurt innocent people so let`s try recruiting him first. Don`t do anything rash and just keep an eye on him, I`ll think of a way to recruit him," the hooded man said and left. He removed his hood after exiting the inn and procured a stick and started walking like he has a busted leg.
--------------
"We won`t be able to win this battle if you`re still this soft Eric, that`s why just this time, I`ll be doing things my way," the robed man muttered and left the inn through the window.
