Chapter 9: A Quiet Life
Moreover, Roland is very skeptical, with the skills he has come up with, can he really deal with an opponent of Aaron's level?
However, it is useless to dwell on these now, after all, I don't have the ability to go to sea for the time being, although I am not afraid of water, but I can't judge the direction in the vast sea at all.
Roland simply stopped thinking about it and lived a good life.
……
At night, he left Bermel's house again, but this time he did not go to the beach, but to the woods, where he had skills such as elemental perception, heat source sensing, and ultrasonic positioning, and the night was no different from the day for him.
Roland explores new skills, and before he knows it, the second day of his journey to another world has passed.
In the days that followed, he maintained almost all this regularity, exploring the forest during the day or spending time with Nami and Nokigao, occasionally going to the town to learn Japanese from the daily conversations of the villagers, and finding a hidden place to explore new skills on his own at night.
……
On the fifth day of his career in another world, Roland was able to make almost the same sound as a human vocal cord, and had learned the most basic greetings.
"Good morning, Nami."
Early that morning, as soon as Nami woke up, she heard a greeting that sounded closer to that of a man, completely different from Nokigao and Bermel.
She shouted in confusion, "Who's talking?" ”
"Me!" Roland said as he jumped a few times in front of Nami, trying to get her attention.
"Ahh To Roland's surprise, Nami suddenly yelled and ran out.
"What's the situation?" Roland was a little confused, did he scare her? It's not what I thought!
He hurriedly followed.
Soon, he heard Nami's shouting from the living room, "Oh no! Noki High! Belmelsan! Xiaobai: It will talk! ”
"What?!" Nokigao also exclaimed, "Really? ”
"Really!" Nami replied loudly, her face excited, "It just greeted me!" It's amazing! ”
"I knew it wasn't an ordinary creature, but I didn't expect it to be able to speak?" Bermel's voice was as calm as ever, presumably from the strange creatures he had seen when he was in the Navy.
"Let's go! Take me there! I'm going to talk to Xiaolan too! Nuoqigao said excitedly.
"It's called Xiaobai!"
"It's Xiaolan!"
At this time, Roland had already walked to the living room, and seeing that the eyes of the three of them were focused on him, he couldn't help but whisper, "Hello." ”
"Really spoke!!" Nokigao cheered and ran towards Roland.
After picking up Roland, a series of questions popped out of her mouth, "Little Blue!" Why are you suddenly able to speak? Did you just learn it? How did you learn it? Do you have any other powerful abilities? And besides, what kind of creature are you? I've never seen it in Bermel......"
For these questions, Roland wanted to answer her one by one, but unfortunately, his Japanese level was limited, and after holding it for a long time, Roland held back a sentence:
"Good morning, Nokigao."
……
Day 8.
The island in Nami's hometown is not small, but it is not large, and a large part of it has been developed by the villagers.
So, after only a few days of exploration, Roland walked through the forest and went straight through it to the sea on the other side of the island.
During this period, although some relatively powerful beasts were also discovered, after he killed them with a water knife, Roland realized that this kind of strength was only relative to ordinary people.
However, it is not without gains, by preying on these creatures, in addition to being able to mimic, he also obtains a variety of fixed or additional skills.
Some of the more useful ones include [Sharp Teeth], [Tear], [Jump Enhancement], [Color Camouflage], [Split], [Direction Sensing], and so on.
Since there was nothing left to explore in the forest, Roland decided to spend more time learning the language, that is, visiting the town more.
By the way, because of the occasional follow-up to Nami or Nokigao down the street, the townspeople now know that Roland is a small pet owned by the Bermel family.
They also knew that this was a small talking pet, and although it seemed that he was still learning and could only use some simple words, they didn't mind teaching Roland a few words casually when he was in a good mood.
……
Day 10.
At the blacksmith's house in the village.
Roland took advantage of his lack of attention, secretly preyed on an iron sword, and after analyzing it, he directly obtained the ability to copy this iron sword.
Then, while he was not paying attention again, Roland preyed on some iron ore, and directly generated two identical iron swords from this raw material.
Although it is just an ordinary iron sword, it means that the system's replication ability is indeed reliable, and for the road ahead, Roland is more and more clear.
Of course, Roland didn't eat for nothing, and since he had preyed on one of his swords and some iron ore, he gave him back the two newly generated swords.
This process is still going on quietly, and I'm special enough, so don't show more magical abilities, and besides, this is also a hole card, and it's always a good thing to hide it tightly.
……
Day 11.
Roland was inspired by yesterday's incident, and ran to the clothing store to repeat his old tricks, eating a piece of clothing and some fabric, with so many perceptual skills, no one could find out about doing such a thing.
However, this time the situation is a little different from yesterday, and the copying ability is not to make exactly the same clothes, but to make clothes of various styles.
Of course, the premise is that Roland can think of the style in his heart, and there must be enough materials in the stomach pouch.
Roland, who had a guess in his heart, ran to the shoe store again, and the result, like clothes, was not limited to the style of shoes that were preded, but all kinds of styles.
From this, Roland also roughly understood that just as offensive additional skills are more difficult to obtain, offensive items will be more difficult to copy, while life-type ones are very simple and have almost no restrictions.
In this way, Roland found that he had another choice for the future, maybe it would be good to open a clothing store?
……
Day 16.
This time it's at the village library, and Roland and Nami come to read together.
Speaking of which, I have to mention another strange thing about the system, just like he can understand what other people are saying without knowing Japanese, he doesn't know the meaning of the characters in the book, and he can't write them, but he can understand the meaning of them.
In this regard, Roland can only say that the system is awesome.
