Plans of conquest
"60 additional attack points, that gives you a strength of 60 points, it's like turning me directly into a D-rank."
Har was beginning to understand why he couldn't wrest the bow from the skeleton at that moment.
"If the strength of a simple iron sword is so great, now I can understand why my strength was not enough against the skeleton."
Har's strength is only 7 points, for a skeleton that can withstand attacks from that iron sword his strength is no more than an ant.
"If a mere skeleton can stand up to the strength of a D-rank Runner, what will the dragon be like then? Is it considered an A-rank or... an S-rank?"
Har's body trembled at the thought of that, S-rank Runners are a superior existence even in the United States, which is the country that leads in the tower, it only has a few S-ranks.
Har was glad that he had the shield and sword when he faced the Enderman earlier, he should be considered on par with a C Rank Runner.
"Does that mean I can take on C rank Runners?"
Har thought of that and instantly shook his head, that was just an Enderman under the limitation of the program.
'When I faced the skeleton I also had a chance to beat him, but after the Reality Hurts function was activated I was no longer his opponent.'
Har thought that if he faced an Enderman without the restriction of the program he would surely die, the same way if he fought to the death against a D rank Runner.
But when he thought that the shield could withstand his attacks, Har noted down to sell a shield to see the description of him.
After that Har posted the 23 gold bars at a price of 10,000 TP, took a steak from the first floor and sat on his bed.
It has to be said that the food on the first floor is very effective in recovering energy, he even felt that he didn't need to sleep as long as he ate enough.
...
[Notice, the auction has ended when the time limit has been reached.]
[He has obtained +20,143 TP.]
"Those bastards, they actually started raising the price by 1 after 20,000."
While the auction was ending, all the other items were sold successfully, now Har has 295,323 TP.
"Status screen, Buy 95 attribute points, add 80 points to intelligence, 8 points to strength, 4 points to agility and 3 points to defense."
[Operation completed.]

"Now I see everything clearer, I feel as if I opened my eyes for the first time."
His 90 point intelligence is almost on par with a C- rank, now Har can think more clearly.
'This is enough to summon 6 clones and conserve 30 points to focus and maintain them completely.'
Now Har could summon clones for battle, but his mana was divided between everyone so his strength would be greatly reduced, this would be a technique he would leave for special cases.
Even though the clones are very fragile, it's not necessarily a problem, Har thought that he could give them enchanted bows to attack from a distance and they would be very useful.
'Should I make fishing rods for the clones?'
Har perfectly remembers that fishing in Minecraft is not only to catch fish, there are a lot of treasures under water that can only be obtained by fishing, such as enchanted books, enchanted bows and enchanted fishing rods.
Har wrote that down for when he has more clones.
As for why he didn't spend all the TP, that's because he already has plans.
He entered the shop and bought the Fortuna III enchantment book for 200,000 TP.
He stuffed all the floating objects into the blanket he had under his feet, it was the blanket he had come in with earlier but disappeared for some reason.
After that he entered the first floor.
His hearts were now 13 and his loaves had increased to 12 and a half.
"With my current intelligence I can figure it out whenever I put my mind to it."
Har put that aside, made some hand seals, and ended up striking a strange pose.
"Shadow clone jutsu."
Puff.* Puff.* Puff.*
6 clones appeared in the cave with a burst of white smoke.
Led by Har, they made stone beaks and he handed his iron beak to one of them.
"It seems my clones are also considered Runners."
Har noticed that his clones also have an inventory and can use the crafting table.
"Come on, chop everything you find, upgrade your picks to iron, if you find diamonds, inform me of their location."
The cave was now very lively, the clones were coming and going, Har decided that this would be his underground base, the monsters were not something he could face hand to hand at the moment.
Over time, the 6 clones returned with a lot of materials, having already run out of wood for more chests.
"Until I have the strength to stomp the monsters it's best to be underground, so I have to bring everything I need to avoid the continuous travel."
"You will bring wood and tree saplings, you two will attract cows and sheep with wheat, you will make buckets and fetch water, you two will stay here and dig a big space."
Har's plan was to be self-sufficient underground, he would use his knowledge to plant trees, raise animals, have infinite water with the 2×2 trick, and make a large underground base like the hive in Resident Evil.
When the clones got going in the day, he took the iron to make an anvil, enchanted the diamond pickaxe with Fortune III and went to the mine.
From this moment is when he begins to conquer the first floor step by step.
