BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168 Completed The Trip Of Wilderness
(From MC's Perspective)
After inspecting the metallic box, I opened it. Inside the box, I noticed a small black dagger with a sharp edge. A tiny smile appeared on my face. I was pondering how to dissect the monster's body earlier. I can now collect the monster's body pieces with the use of this dagger.
I held the dagger in my hands and made random movements to obtain a sense of it. Then my gaze was drawn to the pointed end. Suddenly, a thought came to me.
"Probe the details," I instructed the system.

[Name: Black Dagger]
[Rank: 1]
[Attribute: Non- Magical]
In front of my eyes was a blue status panel. As I examined the details, my eyes glowed with delight.
I rested the black dagger in my palm after a few strikes. The weapon stats did not surprise me. Mason was a Knife Wizard at Level 1. It was typical for him to be wielding Rank 1 weaponry.
But the status panel also gave me a tip. It demonstrates that the dagger is a simple model weapon devoid of magical runes. Otherwise, the weapon status would not be this simple.
True magical weapons have a wide range of stats, from attacking power to penetrative power. This is what I learned in the runes class. However in my current situation, this weapon is enough.
My heart swelled with interest. How awesome would that be? If I get to wield a gravity magic weapon, it will undoubtedly help me save mana.
Even with such a high mana reserve, I'm hesitant to consume it. Because it will take me several hours to replenish the mana reserve once it is depleted.
Previously, I unknowingly drained too much mana from the reserve. I want to see my current statistics.
"System, Show my status panel," I instructed the system.

A status panel in blue emerges in front of me. My attention was then drawn to my mana power. I twitched as I saw my current mana reserve dropped down to 150.
Several ideas spring to mind.
Now I can only fight one or two first-order creatures. When my mana reserves are depleted, I shall resort to fist fights.
Except for power-type wizards, it's quite rare for wizards to engage in close combat.
But I truly want to give it a shot. Other than three magical spells, I have no other methods of attack. If I can use my fist and dagger more in the future, it will boost my confidence.
A sudden sparkle flashed in my eyes as these thoughts erupted in my heart.
If I gain enough close combat experience, I'll be able to defeat lower-level enemies with my bare hands without using gravity magic at all. It will eventually conserve my mana reserves.
As I remembered combat class in high school, my lips twisted into arcs.
It's no surprise that Mr. Freeman was determined to train everyone. You must have some basic close-combat experience, even if you are an auxiliary wizard.
Combat Class, huh? It was intended to be for practicing in close combat. It is now used to rank duels. Everyone is so focused on their personal ranks that they have forgotten the true purpose of combat class.
At the same time, I have sympathy for Mr. Freeman. He desires to train everyone. However, students are more likely to focus on their magic.
Except for Fatty, I don't recall anyone else engaging in close combat without the use of magic. So the current combat class was in an entirely different sort of situation.
It is impossible to persuade others to adopt the combat class's original idea. I may only request sparring partners if I wish to enhance my close combat class.
At the same time, I'd like to learn how to naturally enhance my stats. Because of relics, my vitality point is high (treasure). However, I cannot use the same procedure for other stats.
The relics are difficult to come by. Normally, if mana core creation progressed steadily, overall stats would rise. However, this is a time-consuming approach.
If you wish to advance quickly, you must go to a blessed land like an academy. So the relic and mana core progressions are not currently on my list. I'll have to look for additional natural ways to boost my total stats.
Suddenly, I heard a bird chirping in the distance.
When I heard that, I retracted my thoughts. I almost forgot I'm here to hunt, not to plan for the future.
Then I rose up from the rock, straightening my back. I chose to continue my journey as the wind blew in my face. Then I returned all of the metallic boxes to the storage bracelet.
"I'll check the other one when I get home," I grumbled.
After getting ready, I walked along the straight road.
Time went on.
When I was walking leisurely along the road, my eyes caught a glimpse of a monster ahead of me. I walked a little bit closer to get a full view of the monster.
"It's a four-horned sheep," I grumbled as I spotted the monster.
Why do I remember the name? Because the meat of this monster is one of the most expensive meals in the restaurants of Red City. Customers who appreciated four-horned sheep steaks, as well as brown rabbit, were in plenty.
Count my blessings. I'm thinking about how I turned brown rabbit into pasted meat. I'm not going to repeat the mistake. Now I have a great opportunity to make some money. So, I'll be careful.
My expression tightened slightly. Obviously, I'm not going to employ my gravitational force. I removed the black dagger from the storage bracelet and gripped it tightly in my hands.
This four-horned sheep is listed alongside the brown rabbit. These monsters pose no significant threat to level 1 wizards. But I still need to double-check the details.
"System, investigate the specifics of four horned sheep," I instructed the system.

[Status Panel]
[Name: Four Horned Sheep]
[Level: 1st order]
[Strength: 21]
[Vitality: 18]
[Speed: 11]
[Stamina: 16]
[Skill: Deadly Bite, Quick Dash]
In front of my eyes, a blue status display appears. When my eyes were fixed on the speed points, my lips twisted into small arc. I didn't even look at the skills.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Because I don't need gravity magic to destroy this monster? I was given the opportunity to put my body's strength to the test.
The four-horned sheep stands around two metres tall and weighs about 2-3 tonnes. I can only think about money when I see its gigantic size.
Perhaps I should bring some meat home with me. Several ideas spring to mind. Mana steak for dinner is delicious. Then I chose to move after retracting my ideas.
WHIZZ
I vanished and reappeared in front of the four-horned sheep.
The four-horned sheep, who was grazing fields, was frightened all of a sudden. It has a timid personality. When it discovered a powerful opponent in front of it, it began to flee.
I gave the monster a friendly smile. The monster is escaping at full speed. However, it moves quite slowly in front of my eyes. I went quickly and aimed my dagger at the monster.
I made a quick move as I got closer to the monster's body. Using the black dagger, I slashed its throat.
The skin of the monster is not as thick as I had thought. The dagger blade glided through the skin like butter.
PFFF
The ground was splattered with blood. The first order, four-horned sheep was slaughtered in a single attack. The body of the monster fell on the ground.
As a result, I wasted no time dissecting the parts. I finished the entire process in 15 minutes.
I placed all of the monster's dissected parts in a metallic container, which I then placed in my storage bracelet.
The entire process went well from start to finish. I barely broke a sweat.
Then I checked the time. It's already beyond noon. I need to get back to the city before it gets late, I exhaled a sigh. Earlier, I intended to go to the end of the plains.
If I continue on my journey, it will take a long time to get back. What should I do?
After some deliberation, I made the decision to return to the city. Because I intend to sell the monsters' bodily parts. It will take some time for that as well. It's time to call it quits on the hunt.
