Arin read it and nodded. This one was easy and straight forward. He didn't even have to do anything remotely hard. Hard part was already done.
Arin asked T.G, "So, how exactly can i use my skills?"
[You just have to will it. Just like how you use inventory]
Arin nodded and walked toward the debris that killed the chameleon. He pushed debris to the side.
Where exactly should i use my skill?, Arin thought looking at chameleon and it's innards laying all over the roof.
[Use it on it's main body is]
Arin did as instructed. He held his arm above the body and thought about using skill. But nothing happened.
[You have to touch it]
Hearing this Arin frowned. He was not afraid but still touching lizard dead or alive was not very exciting to him. But he still had to do it.
Arin carefully examined the body of chameleon and touched it where he deemed clean.
Arin's hand glowed softly. This soft glow spread from Arin's hand and slowly covered the whole chameleon. Soon whole chameleon vanished with it's Innards. Bloodstains were only evidence of it's demise.
Now, in place of it's s body was 2 glowing orbs. One grey and one green, glowing softly. Arin picked them up without any second thought.

He chose to ignore it for a while as his heart pounded with excitement. He focused on the loot.
Grey one must be lowest quality— thought Arin. Then he crushed the grey orb.

Arin found it little different than other description. Now, it Even has notes at the end of it. Or it's just how it is. Arin thought to himself.
Arin just put his thoughts aside for a while and decided to move on to next item, green orb.
Arin crushed green orb and heard another chime.

Just as Arin finished reading, he heard another chime.
[Your Talent Sharpens]
"What?", Arin asked in confusion but this time T.G didn't answered so he asked it specifically about the new notification.
[As you know Talents are unique and progressive. But requirements and speed of progress are as unique as the Talent itself. You have to find about it all by yourselves]
After hearing T.G explained he understood what just happened. I totally forgot about my Talent and Trait. Maybe, if I had remembered it earlier I would have get rid of that chameleon more easily. But better late than never.
As he completed his thought, he opened his status and for the first time focused on his talent.

Guess, I'll be Mr.KnowItAll in the future, Arin grinned and focused on his trait next.

______________________________________
So, I had danger sense all these time? Arin exclaimed. Well now that I think about it I did feel like time slowing down when I got attacked suddenly. Was that it?
And this 'Notes'.I didn't suspect them earlier but now that I think about it. I think that It's the effect of my Talent, Arin thought. I think, I awakened knowledge based talent. Arin concluded.
I don't know how much of my speculation is true. But not to fret, with time I'll learn Slowly. Now let's just focus on the matter at hand, Arin thought as he opened Quest panel.
[Claim Reward]
[Yes/No]
This time Arin selected 'Yes'.

[Weapon Blueprint : Primitive Slingshot Blueprint]
Huh... A ranged weapon Blueprint?, Arin was surprised, but his surprises didn't end here.

It had a drawing of a 'X' shaped slingshot. Arin read through information and thought, It's material requirements are not very restrictive like games. Maybe I can make it right now.
Just as Arin completed his thought he heard another chime.
[New Quest Received ]
Arin already had an idea about what the quest would be about but he still opened it.

______________________________________
Just as Arin expected. It was the quest telling him what to do next.
Well, It doesn't matter. I was going to do it anyway, Arin thought as he started to go towards the flora of the rooftop.
Slingshot need only 3 materials. One Elastic material, one material for wrapping and two sticks. If I'm not wrong stick would be for main frame. So, maybe I can provide something else other than 2 sticks but still acceptable for main frame, — Arin pondered as he began to looking for a strudy branch from the plant to cut.
After finding for few minutes he found few optimal branches to choose. Now, he had two options either he cut and get a thick 'Y' shaped branch or he could get cut lesser thick branch and get two sizable sticks from them.
Arin read blueprint again. It clearly mentioned two sticks but he still wanted that perfectly 'Y' shape branch.
It will work same way, plus wouldn't need to tie two stick, so I can save some wraps too. Arin argued with himself for a while then he made up his mind.
He decided to go for 'Y' shaped branch. If it didn't worked then he will go for another option.
He spent 30 minutes just cutting the branch off from the plant. Although it didn't look very sturdy but in reality it was very hard to cut.
Finally it's done. I feel like, I am child again, Arin thought with full of excitement seeing his 'Y' shaped stick.
He opened the Crafting function but he didn't understand much so he asked the T.G.
[System Crafting can only be done if you have blueprints. It can store all the Blueprints you will collect.You just have to select the Blueprint and feed the material listed on Blueprint to Crafting panel. If material is compatible than it will accept & take in the item otherwise it will not take in the item.]
Arin nodded thinking that was all but T.G continued.
[Crafting from the system will help you develop your crafting skill in slower pace as compared to the real crafting but in exchange you will get proficiency for that exact Blueprint. High proficiency in blueprint means increased chance of crafting the item of higher quality from that Blueprint.]
Well,that is alot, Arin thought after hearing all the explanation. He didn't try hard to remember everything and thought, I'll learn as I do.
He opened system Crafting function again. This time he knew what to do. So, he summoned Blueprint from the inventory and fed it to Crafting function.
He saw name of Blueprint slowly appeared. He selected the blueprint and panel changed to a circle.
In 3 equal distance were empty boxes. He realised immediately that, that's where material will go.
He first fed the Treated Chameleon Tongue and it vanished from his hand. It appeared in one of the boxes. And in the middle of circle a shadow of the elastic band appeared.
Next he fed the Crude Chameleon Hide. It also appeared in the box but this time shadow in the middle of the circle didn't change much.
Last was the frame. Arin took a deep breath and started to chant, Please, make it work. Please, make it work.
He held the 'Y' shaped stick, he liked and slowly willed to feed it in crafting option. And for all his joy and happiness it got accepted and shadow in the circle changed to 'Y' shaped slingshot.
He hit the craft button and it started to craft.
[Crafting Time : 10 Seconds]
Arin moved his head up and down with a foolish smile as he waited for crafting to be done.
After 10 seconds.
