Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 166: Upgrading the Planting skill with Medallion of Forceful Upgrade!

"Ehh, this little fellow managed to grasp a rule?"

Leo revealed a stunned expression on his shadow face, not expecting that the lazy Skeleton #1 was lucky and talented enough to grasp a rule on his own.

If Skeleton #1 continued increasing its understanding of the rule it comprehended, then there's a good chance that it could create an incomplete domain on its own even though it still hadn't stepped toward the Core Formation realm!

"This, why do I suddenly feel that it was much more talented than I am?"

Leo thought, although his accomplishment right now seemed above Skeleton #1 by folds, Leo was completely aware that most of it, was thanks to the system care!

If there's no system, then the only rule he might comprehend right now is the Rule of Life Nature! Moreover, his understanding of it might be less than 10%!

"This, I couldn't continue like this! I needed to finish upgrading my class job in the shortest time possible!"

Leo thought in determination- afraid that skeleton #1 would again entertain the thought of making him its slave upon closing the gap between the two.

Huff~

"Cultivate for tonight before creating potions in the morning, after that, earn extra horror points to fuse skills and strengthen it!"

Gazing at the darkness above, Leo quietly observed its empty beauty for a while before leisurely shifting his gaze to his character panel- checking his horror points, or to be exact, wanting to check how many horror points he earned from scaring the 5 earlier.

Ding!

[ Horror points: 95,000 ]

Keke~ Not bad, it could at least last for weeks.

Seeing this, Leo revealed a rare smile on his face that was akin to a malicious grin, feeling that scarring others was more profitable than doing dozens of accomplishments and first-times...

Shifting his gaze toward the badly burned scarecrow in the distance, Leo shook his head in disappointment, feeling that it was really naive to let the man earlier burn his body.

"Well, I couldn't blame it since it was literally a newborn, its being still hadn't suffered a setback.

"Moreover, its intelligence was almost comparable to a 5-year-old child..."

Again shaking his head, Leo unhurriedly took out a healing bottle within his inventory before hurriedly tossing it toward the scarecrow- attentively watching it blissfully drink the liquid as its badly burned skin began to recover at a slow yet visible speed.

Keke~

After seeing that its wound was not already grievous, Leo leisurely bought a permanent speed potion within the shop, spending 1,000 horror points in the process before giving it to the scarecrow.

Keke?

"Just accept it, however, help me scare the five humans earlier if you have a chance! We still need to earn horror points to get more potion like this!"

Keke! (Understood!)

Nodding his head, Leo slightly waved his shadow hands as he began harvesting the herbs he planted weeks ago, putting them within his inventory before opening the shop within the system- planning to buy another batch of herbs to plant.

"Low-ungraded plants could no longer satisfy me, I should try planting herbs that range at least High-ungraded to grade 1 plants."

With a quick thought, Leo immediately searched for the spiritual plants within the system, wanting to find plants that grow quickly but at the same time quite helpful toward the Foundation and Core Formation realm.

"It would be a great loss for me if I entered the Nascent Soul realm yet the herbs that I planted still hadn't ripened..."

Ding!

[ Upgrading Basic Farming (Common) to Intermediate Farming (Uncommon) would cost 1 Medallion of Forceful Upgrade!

(Accept/ Declined)? ]

"Accept..."

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon successfully upgrading Basic Farming (Common) Level 5 to Intermediate Farming (Uncommon) Level 1! ]

Ding!

Upgrade cost: 1 Medallion of Forceful Upgrade and 5,000 horror points! ]

...

"It's still lacking, but it would do for now..."

Leo thought, wanting to upgrade the skill to reach Rare rarity at the very least but only to give up the thought upon seeing that his medallion of forceful upgrade already entered zero in number.

"Sigh, If I wanted to upgrade it to the Rare level, I at least needed to wait for more than a week to accumulate medallions...

"Well, I could upgrade it much earlier if I was lucky enough to obtain a medallion of forceful upgrade... However, with my luck, I wouldn't rely on that..."

Gazing toward the niches in the far distance, musing with his thoughts, Leo weakly sighed under his breath, shaking his shadow head as he dragged his body toward the forsaken pit...

"There's so much thing to do, however, I needed to prioritize my strength and strive to quickly reach the core formation realm.

"Based on the reactions of the humans earlier (leaving the town to avoid the chaos within), the town's situation already entered a dangerous state.

"If I still haven't reached the core formation realm this week, there's a good chance that my jinx skill would make everything within my reach suffer... Including me."

...

Crack...

The sound of crisp bones cracking continuously echoed within the darkness as Leo's being hit the ground.

Surveying the surrounding void, Leo silently curled his lips up, feeling the familiar energy (Qi) within the surroundings- making his instinct to scream toward himself to absorb its vastness.

"I need to increase my understanding of my cultivation technique... I remember that increasing my knowledge regarding it greatly helped me increase my absorption of Qi in the surroundings."

Unhurriedly sitting down on the cold wet ground, Leo immediately took out a small Enlightenment stone from his inventory, closing his senses as he began delving toward its vastness- causing the passage to again enter its previous serenity...
