Chapter 4 - Helping The Red Fox.
"There really are potions and I can buy some ... okay, I'll buy this 55 Pts Perfect Healing Potion that will recover 40% health so she will get better." Theo thought when selecting the [Perfect Healing Potion], and going on the [Swap] option.
[Are you sure you want to spend 55 System Points to buy the Perfect Healing Potion?]
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "[Yes]"
[You purchased the Perfect Healing Potion]
Theo: "Oh!" Theo was surprised because a bottle appeared in front of him and it had a red liquid inside it.
"Now, how do I get her to drink it? What if I open and put it in something for her to eat?" Thinking about it, Theo opened the [System Store] again and searched for [Food] and bought a piece of meat for 4 [System Points]. Then holding the potion with his paws, Theo managed to open the bottle with his mouth and went in front of the (Red fox) carrying healing potion vial in his mouth carefully trying not to spill it. Soon he arrived in front of the (Redfox) and left the potion in front of her and returned to where he left the piece of meat he had bought, later carrying it to the (Red fox) as well. Not wanting to waste the potion, Theo put the meat in a bowl he bought in [System Store] for 2 [Points] and dumped the potion into the bowl where the meat was.
By the time the potion seeped in, a strong potion smell began to spread in the [Den]. Thanks to this, the (Red Fox) that had her eyes closed, seems to have woken up because of the strong potion smell. The moment she opened her eyes and saw me by her side, I gestured with my head to the bowl where I poured the potion on the meat. The clever (Red fox) understood that I was giving it to her and began to nibble the meat. Realizing the moment she ingested a little of the potion that was in the meat was helping her recover, she began to eat more and more until there was nothing left.
After the (Red fox) took the whole potion, her injuries began to recover at an incredible rate, noticeable with the naked eye. This made the (Red fox) very happy, then she went towards Theo and began to rub her face on his, showing her affection for him, smiling happily.
Theo: "Would that be her way of saying that she's happy about what I did for her and thank me? Hm... there's no way for me to really know, but I'm glad she healed." He thought.
After seeing that the (Red fox) managed to recover, Theo began to feel tired and went to sleep.
Theo: "Huaa~ morning already? Hm, I have yet to used to this lifestyle... hm... I haven't checked my [Status] for a while."
Theo: "[Status]"

Theo: "Oh, I still have 93 points. I'm going to see if there's a [Cultivation Pill] I can buy with my current [System Points], to try to raise myself to the next layer of the apprentice kingdom."

Theo: "W-Wow ... these [Pills] are very good!! Too bad they can only be used once ... well, it can't be helped, but I'm glad I can buy one right now!"
After thinking for a while... Theo decided to buy the [Basic Metal Pill] first. He then clicked on it and selected the [Exchange] option.
[Are you sure you want to spend 80 System Points on the [Basic Metal Pill]?]
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "[Yes]"
[You bought the Basic [Metal Pill]]
Theo: "Oh, it showed up." Theo said in his mind, seeing a bottle appear in front of him, with a [Pill] with a strong gray color.
He took the bottle with his two front paws and holds the bottle with them, then he took the lid off the bottle with his mouth. After opening the bottle, Theo holds the bottleneck with his mouth and swallows the [Metal Pill]. When he began to digest the [Metal Pill], cracks could be heard from his bones becoming stronger and more flexible. During this process, Theo was in severe pain, causing Theo to grit his teeth so he wouldn't scream. Luckily that process did last long and soon the effect of [Metal Pill] finished, making Theo feel relieved.
After seeing the benefits that the pill gave him, Theo thought it had been worth having bought it now that he was feeling great and his body was easier to control and move.
As much as Theo tried to avoid making noise from the pain, the (Red fox) woke up. The moment she saw Theo, his eyes seemed to be shining…
Theo: "What!? Why is she looking at me like that? Is it because of yesterday? Ahh... it really is bad not being able to talk..." Theo thought about that after seeing that no matter how he tried, it wouldn't do anything. "Okay, I'm going to increase my [System Points] to buy the other [Pills] too."
The moment Theo starts to leave [Den], the (Redfox) began to follow him.
Theo: "Well, if she wants to follow me, there really isn't a problem... I'm just going to be hunting (Rabbits) to increase my [System Points]." He thought as he saw the (Red Fox) following him.
Walking through the forest, he went past many large trees and plants... but this time, Theo was not alone, the (Red fox) was following him to hunt.
Continuing towards the open field where the (Rabbits) were, not long after Theo and the (Red fox) arrived there.
Theo: "Mmm, it's still full of (Rabbits)..." That made Theo think, why there are so many (Rabbits) in this place? Well, he was happy about it, and thanks to that he can strengthen himself by killing and using <Devour> on them.
Arriving there, Theo began to run towards the (Rabbits) and thought: "Give me your lives... and I'll let you guys become my [System Points]." Of course, even if he knew he how to talk, and that they understood, the (Rabbits) wouldn't stand still waiting for him to kill them.
But thanks to his strength increase, it didn't end any different, because now he could capture a (Rabbit) easily. It didn't take long before he was able to kill a (Rabbit) with his claws and use <Devour> on it.
"Good. Who wants to be my next victim?" He thought, looking around the field where the (Rabbits) were.
Theo arrived and killed another (Rabbit). Meanwhile, the (Red fox) was still running after a (Rabbit).
But of course, Theo understood that he only managed to get a (Rabbit) faster than the (Red fox) because he had the [System] helping him. Who thanks to which Theo managed to soar quickly and buy skills and techniques, which helped in his performance when hunting. So it didn't take long before he managed to kill 12 (Rabbits) and received another good news.
[Sharp Claws] Level1 has raised to Level. 2]
[Causes 50% Physical Damage]
Theo: "Hahaha! Using it increased my ability and it gave a 15% increase of physical damage." He laughed happily, as his ability increased.
"Wait, let's see how my status is," Theo said in his mind.

Theo: "Haha, I'm going to keep hunting to improve my skills." He said in his mind and went back to hunting.
Meanwhile, the (Red fox) had already stopped hunting and was eating a (Rabbit) that she managed to capture.
"Good. I'm going to test <Sharp Claws> now that it increased to Level 2." He thought about it and started running towards the (Rabbit) that was not too far from him, and used <Sharp Claws> on its body ripping it in half.
Theo: "Hehe, This ability's has improved a lot." He laughed happily, seeing the result of his leveled up ability.
