I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 78

78 To the Desert

“Hey what are you doing?” Sofia looked at Fein with meaningful eyes after seeing the two slimes and two reindeers playing with him.

Fein chuckled at the misunderstanding. “It’s not what you think it is. In fact, these cuties are just bored and came to us. It seems humans are really are a rare sight here”

He was telling the truth. After trying to lead this four with some distance from their territory, they didn’t follow him any longer. That’s why he deduces that these four are just bored. But the thing is, the four, specifically the two reindeers, were disappointed after seeing him leave but became happy after seeing him come back. He guesses that there might be something that prevents them from coming out.

Fein decided he would investigate this and see if there was a way to solve it. Voli and the four became friends in just a little time.

Sofia nodded, but her suspicious expression told him that she didn’t quite believe him. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Fein sighed in his mind. Is he really that hard to believe? Where is his credibility? Shouldn’t being handsome have the perks of being believable? Fein looks at the sky as his mind enters the endless sea of thought.

“What is your plan next? Sofia asked. Aoi beside her was trying to start to get close to Voli.”

Hearing Sofia’s question, Fein was also thoughtful.

“Hmm... Let’s gather information first. The most important thing when you are in an unfamiliar environment is information. Then let’s see what is the appropriate choice at that time.”

.....

Voli himself didn’t think that he would have friends in the future. After all, the only thing he likes is eating and lying down.

Fein noticed this and felt proud. His tamed was now starting to live anew, its NEET path was now seeing its end. Fein looked at Voli with satisfaction, like a father looking at his son as he was starting to have friends.

After saying goodbye to their furry friends. The two Reindeers look reluctant. As for the two slimes, he didn’t know how to read their behavior. They are literally a ball of liquid. Well, they are shaking their body, so it probably means that they were excited right?

Fein and his friends began to gather the information that might become useful to them.

They learned that every type of tree would have different types of beasts living in them. In addition, not all the beasts here are territorial. Some are friendly. Also, the weather here is constant. It’s not hot or cold. Just a mild temperature and a soothing breeze. And with the existence of trees that give fresh air, the whole lower realm has a theme of nature.

As they continued to walk, they saw a huge brown spot in front of them. As they came nearer, the vast desert finally came into their sight. Fine brown soil, strong wind that has traces of dust.

“The desert here seems to be a dangerous part of the lower realm,” Fein said after looking at Aoi that has a look of apprehension when seeing the desert.

Fein also felt that the aura in the desert differs too much from the forest. If the forest is full of life, then the desert is monotonous, with traces of battles everywhere.

“We won’t go there yet. I plan to observe for a few days before entering that,” Fein said to Sofia with a solemn expression as his eyes look deeply at the calm desert. But he knows that within the calm surface is a deep whirlpool of danger.

He has a powerful instinct that had became sharper and sharper. He could even detect the slightest threat lurking as long as he pays attention. It was akin to a spider sense, but natural and acquired through battles of life and death. And when his senses screamed danger, then he would follow his instinct.

Since coming to this, Fein changed from being careless to being prudent. Now he was starting to actually test the waters when coming to an unfamiliar situation. Because the slightest detail might even save his life. Most of the time, paying attention to details is what makes people successful. It’s hard and troublesome but it would pay off. Those who ignore them would always pay for their ignorance.

Sofia looked at the plain desert in front of her. She doesn’t understand why Fein would delay their adventure just to observe. But she knew that he has his own reason. Plus, he has an experience with this kind of thing. She knew that she only needed to shut up and listen to what he had to say and learn.

Sofia came to this place for experience so she would become a truly powerful person. And she was well aware that those great people started from scratch. No one was born learned. Learning is a process. Only those who are patient enough and have the determination to endure the pain in the ass process would succeed.

After thinking of this, Sofia smiled and says. “Your will is my command master, ”

Fein looked speechlessly at Sofia’s antics. “Well, that’s good then?”

“I wonder why the Secret Realm was created,” Sofia muttered.

Fein shook his head. He doesn’t like thinking about things that have no current answer. He was a man of action. Instead of constantly thinking about something, he would rather do it and improvise. But planning isn’t wrong. What he really hated was constant planning for action. Thinking too much would only paralyze a person. Instead of this, one has to take the first step. Because the first step in anything is crucial. The rest will follow after that. For Fein, that is the best way to tackle situations.

But it’s not wrong to give a half-assed answer. “It was probably created for me to exploit,” Fein smirked as he scanned the herbs and fruits in the surroundings.

“You won’t really let any opportunity within your grasp huh,” Sofia sighed at Fein’s behavior.

“I’m a greedy person. As long as I can get it, then I will do my best to take it. ” He glanced at Sofia with a meaningful smile.

Sofia smiled at him, not letting herself be defeated by his teasing. She winked at him and responded. “Well, you can try your best”

Fein smiled after seeing that Sofia got used to his style.
