Reincarnation Of Audemars

Chapter 68 - 68. So Boring After Am I Right Or What?

I've got the 7 Production Plants in the way including the one in Beauty World and it's high time for some adventure as I head out to the Southern Plains. I don't want to be labelled as a wussy since I've been relying on my light crossbow for quite some time.

Well, this time I'm going to spend some of my allocated points into my other attributes. I've decided to allocate 5k points to my STR and make it to Strength: 8000 (+3) and dumped 3k+ on my INT to make it to Intelligence: 4587.

My stats had increased to this amount.

STR: Damage +8000 Armour +8000

INT: Damage +4587 Resistance +458.7%

Even it may look OP, well its time to find out once I deploy my Kamehameha, Diamond Thunderbolt and Rise of the Sun. I'm itching to find out the damage ratings once I deeply those three.

I've been grinding those goblins and trolls lately and I remember that Prius had mentioned about Desert Warg, The Red Axes Orcs, The Corpse Maws Skeletons and Pseudoscorpion. These sounds exciting enough and the only thing I need to watch out for would be the sting from that Pseudoscorpion. No matter how small it would be, its sting is one that is venomous.

I clicked on my quickslot 1 and my nipple buckler and the iron pommel dagger emerged. Although it's damage was only so-so, but with my allocated attributes of 8k damage, it should do well enough, I guess.

The Desert Wargs were like mutated wolves with bodies 3 times as large and as tall as a man. A beast of that size and with my dagger and buckler, it was like a personal battle.

It was a super close melee and I had used the nipple buckler as a weapon as well as armour. When those desert Wargs gets too close, I would use the nipple buckler to smash it against its head instead. *Kaboing Kaboing Kaboing*

*Ding* Congratulations. You had defeated Desert Warg. Experience +2

Instead of the Desert Wargs chasing me down as its prey, they become the hunted as I chased them down. After a while, I gave up chasing them like a crazed maniac across the Southern Plain.

It was becoming an idle morning for me so I decided to shoot countless Kamehameha into rock walls, boulders and anything lifeless in the Plains.

It seems the Southern Plain is pretty plain boring to me right now. There seems to be nothing of interest right now except for getting sunburnt and the offscreen crew were either sunning themselves or simply basking in the shades with their ice-cold Slurpees as I decided to join them as well.

"How's the progress for this series so far?" asked one of the crews. "I don't know man, I'm kind of getting a writer's block and there nothing much I could do over here." I simply replied as I spread my hands and shrug my shoulders as I took a sip from the green apple flavoured ice cold Slurpees out in the Plains.

"How about getting some progress on your basic skills right now? Pointus would have something for you to do since it had been a month since you last help him in the pill making." suggested one of the crew.

"Or you can go to the library and learn some botany, plants, herbs and spices? I am sure there are reference books in the local library that could help you gain further progress rather than roaming aimlessly here in the Plains." suggested one of the offscreen crew as he offered me a stick of cloves cigarette.

I smoked while I was sitting under the shade and wondered what else would I be doing at this moment, rather than grinding or duplicating pieces of iron amulet for sale. Would there be another trade to explore since I do have 7 production plants running at the same time to produce beauty products?

I blew my smoke in circles with my mouth as I relaxed with the offscreen crew out there in the Plains. After I had finished my smoke and the ice-cold Slurpees, I decided to head back inside and see what else they have in the Southern District that I had not ventured.

I thanked the offscreen crew as I went back in and looked at the minimap as I made my way around. True enough there is a library here and I headed inside. A group of scholars thought that I had lost my way and ventured into a wrong place instead.

"Excuse me, would there book on botany or plants that I could make the reference of in this place?" I asked a librarian as the group if scholars kept their eyes on me as I sauntered with the librarian to the reference section and were shown a shelf with all kinds of books on botany, plant and its medicinal uses.

"Thank you very much... This will do just fine." I replied when I reached the section and with my system, I basically just need to touch the books with my hands and I am able to learn the whole contents of it immediately.

I held a book called 'Inside The Secret World Of Plants' and I heard an announcement ringing in my head.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'Inside The Secret World Of Plants'. +46 new knowledge acquired. Learn?

"Learn" I just answer through my thoughts and I replace the book after I'm done.

*Ding* Congratulations. You had learnt +46 new plants. Progress 61%. Intermediate Herbalist 6/100.

I continued to bring down every book and once there's a thing or two of new things I had picked up, I immediate learnt every single book on the shelves. There were 5 shelves altogether and even a book called 'Botany for Dummies' and even it had a hidden gem inside it.

After I had spent nearly 1 hour just to basically bring the book to my hand and pretend to open it, I had learned total progress of 123% and that brings me to Intermediate Herbalist 7/100. I had covered almost everything there is about plants, its medicinal uses and benefits

I checked my other profession and my cooking prowess was only at Basic Culinary 4/10 which means I would be able to make simple dishes. Even a simple garlic butter fried rice would be taking at least 1 hour to prepare. Haissshhh... I guess these basic skills would need to upgrade after all.

I went to the librarian once more and asked about books and culinary and she brought me over to a large shelf with at least 12 tiers on cooking from rice, vegetables, soups, meats, Western, Eastern, comfort foods, cakes, pastries, drinks and so on.

Wow...!!! This is heaven. I think I would be able to clear all these within 2 hours and soon I began from the left topmost and decided to work my way down and then move on to the right once more.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'The Joys Of Cooking' Learn?

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange' Learn?

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'The Art Of Cookery' Learn?

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering 'A Gift To Young Housewives' Learn?

'Learn, Learn, Learn, Learn" I replied as I absorbed new knowledge from this 4 book and I had gained +146 new recipes and gained +146% experiences. After more than an hour, I had finally covered the whole books on culinary and had gained a total of 2418 new recipes and gained 2418% in progress altogether.

I've progressed a further Base Level: 5208/100,000 and Intermediate Culinary 19/100. Heh... Well, its a time well spent in the library. As I was about to leave the section, the group of scholars who were watching me intently walked over and blocked the way.

"I think you did lose your way here, you don't seem to be a learned person. What are you doing in this library? We saw you pick a book up and after a while, you replace it back on the shelf. What kind of reading is that?" asked one of the scholars while eyeing me from head to toe.

If I'm regarded as a cockroach, I would have been squashed right there and then. The armour I was wearing really seems out of place in this library and I should have used the paper doll to dress myself up so I would look rather conspicuous.

"Look, guys, I don't mean to cause any trouble or impair your judgement of fine studying, alright? If I were to offend you in any way, please forgive me for my impudence. I'd be on my way right now." I said lamely as I do not want to cause trouble, especially in a public place right now.

Violence is not an answer to everything and since this is a library, knowledge is POWER.

"We are going to rip that smarty pants face off yours because we can't help noticing you were smiling from the moment you enter this library. Yeah, you wanted to test our integrity or what?"

"We spent years studying to be the top scholar and you just waltzed in with your Studded Leather armour and what...? Fool us thinking that a warrior like you could read?"

One of the scholars was actually pointing his middle finger right in my face and how I wish I could break that finger of his so he won't be able to scratch his itching asshole in the future.

"Well, you can test me..." I reached a few cookbooks by random and pushed it to one of the scholar's face. "Ask me anything on any page in any paragraph and I will recite to you. If I got the answers right, I walk out from here. If I got the answers wrong, you can gang up on me and beat me up 100 times."

I offered the best deal to them as each one of them held a cookbook that I had learnt from. I took a hanky and blindfold myself." Read the title of the book so I would know which one I should answer first." I said.

"Everyday breakfast 365 meals for each morning. Page 25. What is it?" one of the scholars asked the first question. "5 ingredients instant pot of mac and cheese. Next book and question please " I promptly replied.

"Dinner under 20 mins. Page 79. What is it?" asked another one of the scholars. "Grilled steak with Greek corn salad. Next book and question, please." another answer shot from my mouth and the scholars were taken aback at what I had achieved so far

"Candlelight dinner for two. Page 194. What is it?" asked the last scholar with a slight jitter in his voice as he had never seen someone like me who practically memories everything. "Hmm... It had something to do with chicken in a basket. Wait a minute. It's barbecue Chinese chicken wrapped in lettuce and served in a tiny wicker basket. Prep time 20 mins. Cook time 12 mins. Now, I'm out of here and when I step in this library, I don't want to see your donkey asses faces anymore."

I took out my hanky as my blindfold and simply pushes my way out when suddenly the three of them dropped to their knees and implored apologetically, "Genius, please take us as your disciples."

My answer? Well, you guessed it right, as I replied, "FUCK OFF..."
