Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

Chapter 99: D Ranked Creature, Jadepaw Grizzly

Wendy pinched her nose as she helped Shye butcher the carcasses of two tri-horned rhinos. This was her first time experiencing something like this so it was understandable that she couldn't stand the smell of blood.

Seeing that she was struggling, Shye told her that she didn't need to help him butcher the carcasses but she stubbornly insisted on helping so he decided to just let her do what she wanted.

Only after two whole hours did the two of them finish butchering the tri-horned rhinos.

It was already close to nighttime when they finished so Shye decided to bring Wendy to the nearest safe zone and camp for the night since it wouldn't be safe for the two of them to continue hunting.

Shye secretly took out lots of different stuff such as sleeping bags, skewers, firewood, and other camping necessities from the inventory of the system.

Then, once the camp was ready, he took out some boar meat and seasonings from his sack bag and started a fire to roast meat for dinner.

During the past three years, Shye had been diligently studying the sacred art of roasting meat because he wanted to be able to eat delicious meals like these even when he was out adventuring.

Meanwhile, Wendy, who inhaled the fantastic aroma of the roasted boar meat, was attracted to the fire, however, she was too shy to ask Shye for food so she couldn't do anything but gulp down a mouthful of saliva as she stared at the excellently roasted meat.

After realizing that Wendy was yearning for his roasted meat, Shye inwardly laughed as he felt proud of his roasting skills which he had been honing for two years now.

Naturally, once the meat was ready, Shye tore a huge piece of the meat and gave it to Wendy before eating the other half with an excited smile on his face.

For Shye, eating roasted meat was a bliss that he wouldn't get tired of anytime soon.

Once the two of them were done eating, Shye explained to Wendy how sentry roles work when adventuring inside the intermediate adventurer zone, however, Wendy couldn't understand why someone had to keep watch during the night.

Just as Shye was about to patiently explain why, Wendy's life staff touched the ground and a huge barrier appeared which covered their entire camp.

This time it was Wendy's time to speak as Shye was dumbfounded upon seeing such a large barrier.

"D-Do you think this will work instead? The barrier won't disappear even after I sleep so…"

Wendy asked with a hopeful expression on her face, if this plan of hers worked, then the two of them could sleep peacefully.

Shye snapped back to reality after hearing Wendy's words. He wanted to say "No, this is too unfair for the other adventurers" but he also wanted to sleep for a longer time if he could so he weighed the pros and cons of sleeping inside the huge barrier.

After pondering for a few minutes, he realized that the only disadvantage of this plan was…That he might sleep too comfortably to the point where he would yearn to sleep like this every night while adventuring.

However, Wendy's abilities were far too convenient and it was a shame not to try and sleep like this whenever he got the chance to. Thus, he decided to go with Wendy's plans.

"I've thought about it and this plan seems feasible, if you can promise that you can keep this barrier up throughout the night then there should be no problem…" Shye replied

"Yes! I promise this barrier won't disappear!" Wendy guaranteed.

And just like that, Shye had the most comfortable sleep he ever had while adventuring.

…

Nighttime passed and the sun slowly rose in the sky.

Shye and Wendy woke up after a peaceful sleep as rays of sunlight touched their eyelids.

*YAWN*

'Ahh, that was the most comfortable sleep I ever had inside the intermediate adventurer zone…' Shye thought to himself as he stretched his body.

He then started a fire to roast some meat for breakfast, but this time, he roasted the fish meat of a Drasper Barracuda which made Wendy smile in delight due to another delectable meal.

After eating breakfast, Shye led the way and proceeded toward the next two quest locations to complete the remaining quests before attempting to defeat the Jadepaw Grizzly.

While completing his other two quests, the two of them encountered many creatures, rare herbs, and a few picturesque locations which made Wendy's eyes sparkle.

'If only I could go adventuring every day…' Wendy couldn't help but think about the future, hopes and dreams blossoming in her heart.

She really wanted to go adventuring every day if possible but once she returned to the monastery she wouldn't be able to go out again for a whole year.

As for Shye, he was already used to being inside the intermediate adventurer zone so such things aren't really new to him.

However, he noticed that Wendy was indeed very talented, and after just a few days inside the intermediate adventurer zone, she was already getting the hang of being an adventurer.

After quickly defeating another D- ranked creature which was a part of his junior requirement quest, it was finally time for the two of them to try their hand against the notorious Jadepaw Grizzly.

Before walking towards the lair of the bear, Shye tried to get some information on the grizzly through the Adventurer Encyclopedia.

He then found out that Jadepaw Grizzlies have a very soft belly which could be considered its weak spot.

However, contrary to the common knowledge that bears have powerful raw strength, Jadepaw Grizzlies were weaker in power compared to other bear-type creatures, however, their agility more than made up for their lack of strength.

This was because a Jadepaw Grizzly's body was made for speed rather than pure overwhelming strength.

Still, although these grizzlies were weaker in terms of raw strength compared to other bear-type creatures, they were way stronger compared to humans and it would be unwise to face it head-on unless you are a high-ranked adventurer.

After analyzing the information he got from the Adventurer Encyclopedia, Shye formulated two battle plans.

The first was to fight it head-on with strength and speed buffs from Wendy and the second was to perform a high-risk high-reward combo move with Wendy.

If the first tactic does not work, then the two of them will have no choice but to try the second one.

Finally, after around three hours of walking, the two of them arrived in front of a Jadepaw Grizzly's lair.

Shye quickly ran through the battle plan with Wendy one last time before taking a deep breath and entering the lair.
