Beast core

"I need to nurture my senses." thought Sam.

"Oh, I need to check on my ability too.."

After some more minutes, his bleeding finally stopped. He got up and took out a magic watch which was used as a pathfinder. It didn't always work on an unknown road, but the outer area of Jungle was pretty much known, so the paths were saved in the watch.

He checked it. He needed to run 1 Km to reach the military base. If he was not injured it would have taken him an hour, but it took him more than 2 hours when he reached the military base.

The Sun was almost set by the time Sam came out of the jungle. It was not a good decision to stay in the jungle since he was injured and weak!

He informed the military personal of his return. He just noted it and nodded. Finally, Sam took a magic cab and returned home.

At first, he ate his old recipe instant noodles after getting freshmen and left for the hospital.

...

"Mr Richards, I will heal the fracture but the abdomen injury need stitches along with healing. Please fill this form and submit the money to the deposit counter before coming here again. " informed the doctor.

"Sure" Sam nodded.

After doctor consultation, he did the follow-up process and visited the doctor again. The doctor healed his bones and other small injuries.

Sam moved his arm to find it completely healed. Sam looked at his abdomen where the doctor was stitching his deep gnash.

"When will this be healed?" asked Sam.

"It will be healed by tomorrow morning if you don't do any rigorous exercises. It will need two times healing to recover fully. Come tomorrow at 10 am to remove the stitches. I will apply another round of healing on it." informed the doctor.

Sam nodded and he kept quiet.

"Only one day of training got me this injury. I lost more money than anything. " thought Sam as he sighed.

Here he daydreamed to find a precious treasure and become rich overnight and now he was here in the doctor's clinic...tending to his wounds...

Sigh...What an irony!

It took the doctor 10 mins to stitch the wound.

"Okay, Mr Richards it's done! Just eat more nutritious food to recover your body faster. If possible eat some fierce beast meat. The energy stored in them will help the body to recover. Come again tomorrow morning." said the doctor.

The doctor gave him some more advice after which Sam left the hospital.

...

It was already 8:30 pm when Sam returned home.

"Let's barbecue the rabbit. " mumbled Sam.

He took out the dead rabbit and skilfully removed its skin, bones and its beast core.

From level 1 onwards, beasts or monsters could form a beast core. Humans tried to absorb its energy, but its raw energy was too berserk that the person who tried it went mad from its influence.

Thus beast cores were used in making potions or in magic cars. A level 1 core could run a magic car for 5 full days without stopping. While a potion master could make at least 500ml worth of potion with it in a batch. So every beast core was expensive.

Bones were used for making weapons while the skin was used to make defensive garments.

Even though the skin and bones of level 1 red-eyed rabbits were pretty much soft and fragile but people made fancy garments and accessories with them. Nowadays, it was a fashion to wear clothes made from the skin of fierce beasts. It reflected status, money and power in society.

So it was a win-win situation for Sam to sell all of them.

He washed the meat and cut it into slices. It weighed more than 5 kgs. It was enough for him to eat for some days.

He took out the grilling machine before placing the meat soaked with condiments on it.

sizzle sizzle~~

A wisp of aroma floated from the kitchen. Sam became even more hungry as he smelled it. He took a bite of the meat and a rich flavour splashed in his mouth.

It was his first time eating fierce beast meat. Even though Sam was not a mind-blowing chef but as he lived alone, he could cook fairly well enough to manage his lone bachelor life.

Moreover, fierce beast meat was highly nutritious and tasty. So even a random person could make a good flavour out of it.

Sam quickly gobbled almost half a kg of meat in 10 mins.

burp~

He patted his belly satisfied. Even though he lead a fairly good due to his parents' inheritance, but fierce beats meat were costly. He couldn't afford to eat them. Only rich people could enjoy them in high-end restaurants.

This was the reason everyone wanted to gain their superpowers. Even a level 1 could earn more money than a non-ability civilian.

Sam sighed. Life would be good from now onwards..he thought... But the next moment he remembered about the incident at school.

He clenched his teeth. He only had 1 month to get strong.

"System if I do extra exercise other than the daily mission, will I get extra stat point?" asked Sam.

*Yes host. But you need to do twice the amount of exercise to gain the same number of points on a daily mission. * replied the system coldly.

Sam remained silent, thinking something.

"Good, I will take a rest tomorrow morning and exercise more. The stats helped me today. Anyway, to evolve my superpower, I need to be physically strong to accommodate the evolved power. So I might as well train my body more in this 1 month.." replied Sam.

All he got was silence.

"What do you think system?" asked Sam expectantly after some seconds.

*Ding*

*Rescheduling daily routine.*

*Adjusting best routine for best performance of the host.*

.

.

.

*Ding*

*Adjustment completed*

*Due to the upcoming crisis of the host, the system adjusted the daily routine. The host needs to perform four times the daily routine every day to gain more points. The system made adjustments to save and load a daily mission. The host can do daily missions before a day if host is in need during hunting this week. This feature is only available for this week*

*Ding*

Sam was surprised.

"Could system settings be changed randomly?" asked Sam bewildered.

*If required, then yes! After all everything system does is for the benefit of the host.* answered the system coldly.

Sam just rolled his eyes at the cold reply...

Sometimes system was so cute...
