Chapter: 240
Jay thought for a moment “But I can recover my energy much more quickly than health by simply sitting down, and losing energy doesn’t put my life at risk… I think for now I’ll dump it all into health.”
With 5 more points into vitality, Jay’s health rose up to 93.
“Damn that’s high” Jay smiled at his high HP stat, “to think when I was level one, I was doing one damage with my shitty kitchen knife. I wouldn’t stand a chance against my current self – let alone my insane skeletons.” he chuckled to himself.
“Now, my next skill point… hmm..” Jay looked over his skills.
“Do I want higher level skeletons or an extra one…”
Looking at his restoration skill, he didn’t even consider it worthy of thought. If a skeleton was injured, he could just raise it back if its health was too low, and it was probably even more mana-efficient that way anyway.
“No, my minions are my strength… I should focus on them.”
Jay’s eyes drifted to his [Shift] skill as he looked at his stats.
“Hmm.. perhaps I can save it. I did get a class skill at level 5, so maybe there will be one at level 10” Jay thought as he looked at his ring.
“Yep,” he confirmed his decision. “I’ll just save it and see what happens when I hit level 10”
With a nod, Jay left his house and went back to the dungeon where he left his skeletons.
Jay walked through the city, leaving the north side of town and heading for the dungeon.
Since it was daylight, the path was much easier to see – and there were even a few other adventurers walking just ahead of him.
“Hmm…” Jay noticed something off to the side of the path. “I thought so.” he eyed some familiar plants.
He walked off the path, ripping a small plant from the ground and adding it to his inventory.

“Awesome, I thought I recognised you.” he looked around, noticing a few more plants in the area.
“I might as well pick them while I’m here.” he shrugged.
Jay briefly scoured the forest, adding the plants to his inventory as he collected more of the mana-regen plant.
“This will be enough to last me quite a while,” he thought with a smile, having collected twelve of the plants so far – each giving him multiple roots.
Thanks to his adventurer strength, ripping them from the ground was an effortless task..
Content with his stockpile, he continued on to the dungeon. A few other adventurers had seen him picking the plants, but ignored it; they only cared about getting stronger and levelling up – why waste time gardening?
Clearly none of them had realised the hidden feature of this plant.
As Jay approached the courtyard of the destroyed tower, he found that there were roughly three groups of adventurers waiting to go into the dungeon.
“Huh, I guess this one is pretty popular… I wonder why people don’t do some of the other non-instanced dungeons though? It would let more people party up at once… they could even form two parties and work in tandem.”
