I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 250: Blue-moon-ability

[Eating this entire carcass, can give you the following effects...]

[Effect on health, +82 bars]

[Effect on hunger, +130 bars]

[Effect on sleep, +10 bars]

[Effect on stamina, +7 bars]

[Eating a full-grown carcass of this species, would bring double the effects of what you just heard]

"Would you look at that, most intriguing... an eel that actually brings good tidings." He followed along, practically talking to the carcass.

His overall bars were pretty good right now, so he did not have to eat the carcass; but it felt good to be well-informed, just in case. josei

The system managed to break down his train of thoughts, by recommending. [You need to get out of this small cavern right now, these fish will likely tell their superiors about this kill!]

And of course he had no reason to avoid such advice. There were over ten fish here, and it didn't seem like either of them were on his side.

Obviously they would favour the side of whomever was their superior in this cavern. But there was something else about them, that could not be ignored.

These fish didn't seem scared, nor angry to the point of attacking the little intruder; on the contrary they carried a blank expression on their faces, much like introverted individuals who disconnect from the world with the aid of their grand thoughts.

It was weird to say at least, especially after one of them just continued working instead of panicking in any recognisable matter. But now was not the time to ask why they seemed so absent-minded, as the system's recommendation had to be heeded!

He charged out of this little vicinity, and pierced through the tunnel that connected the small cavern to the big one. Thankfully, for a situation like this where he had to hide for the sake of safety: a plan had been formed prior to the actual chaos.

He had carried stones back-and-forth, enough to properly observe at least a small portion of the overall tunnel structure. Thanks to that, he managed to find a little hole to hide into - and the chances of being found there were below zero, if not better.

Because this specific hole was located right in the middle of the tunnel that connected the couple of caverns. It could be entered through a small crack, that was riddled across the ceiling.

This crack was almost invisible to the naked eye, one would need to look for the specific spot in order to find it. So such an aspect proved quite advantageous.

He was safe here, but the attempt to hide felt a bit exaggerated right now ~ because it didn't seem like anyone was looking for young Timothy down there. No, these various fish just continued to work.

Regardless, such peace could be used to his advantage. And it would be stupid if he didn't use this freedom to think; because the lack of information that surrounded this overall weird cavern, gave him a feeling that he could not ignore.

He sensed that this was just the beginning of chaos. If there were actual dangers that this cavern could provide, his best guess was that any harm was both far away and uncomfortably close by.

This had made facts rage against each other, which in exchange, had managed to cause a bunch of mixed emotions! Well regardless, he wanted to use this peace in order to advance, before facing anything that this weird day had to offer.

He decided that buying an upgrade would come in handy right now, but couldn't quite remember what these purchases were or how useful they could prove.

"Enlighten me regarding what my criteria could achieve today, system. Radiate your knowledge with me, do tell what I can purchase before facing my inevitable fate?" He recited, and had it difficult to figure out if he was a poet or a stingray.

This type of intelligence was weird, and it was working stronger by the passing second; he couldn't even recognize himself anymore. It felt even more terrifying how he eventually will upgrade intelligence enough, to sound like this everyday.

Even the system had it difficult to catch up with the request that had been made a moment ago, but of course she was smarter than anything else in these oceans. So she was quick to abide the query.

[You currently have enough points to purchase the blue-moon-ability]

[That and, you can upgrade your sniffing senses. But note that these purchases will deplete most of your points]

"It's not like I can grace anyone else with this currency," He followed along, letting out a passive-aggressive comment.

And afterwards he demanded, "I'll acquire both of them, if the lady pleases?"

[Confirmed]

"Ah, you approve it. Perfect." He cited, and that was when he began noticing something rather irritating.

He didn't have a nose so to say, but something above his mouth began itching more by the passing moment.

It was especially irritating how he could not soothe the itch. Because not only didn't he have any arms to scratch it, but it also felt like this itch was under the skin!

And after a second, he almost wished for the itch to remain there forever: because a striking pain had enveloped the same spot!

It felt like a slightly sharpened hammer had hit his face, and it was worse how a throb began taking root in the same spot! It ticked like a heartbeat, and brought more pain each time it did so.

But thankfully and unsurprisingly, the same pain disappeared as if it was never there! That was when he coughed up a little bit of blood, well that was a first time thing for sure.

Normally such a result would scare the shit out of any normal individual, but here it felt like such blood came along with a blessing. His nasal canals felt cleaner than he ever thought it possible!

So he took in a big whiff, but swiftly figured out that it was a bad idea. Dirt and sand didn't smell so good, and it ended up making him cough a bit more after a few small bits entered his nose.

Well it wasn't a major issue, especially since the ability to have senses that were so capable, felt like a true blessing. Also, it was accelerating how these sniffing senses were just level-two, even after the upgrade!

The system had helped him get to reality, by informing. [Your purchases have been completed]

[180-system-points consumed]

[20-system-points remaining]

[Now you have obtained the blue-moon-ability, I recommend that you try it out a few times before using it against an enemy]
