Milo had thrown away the remaining rat meat with a swing of his hand. It seemed that favonovel.com had no intention of sharing it with the others, nor did favonovel.com feel that it was wasteful to throw it away.
Micah thought to himself.
Even if you don’t want the others to have it, shouldn’t you keep the rest for tomorrow?
However, Milo had a different thought. He would rather search for food again tomorrow or even go hungry than leave this strong scent of blood lingering on him.
At this moment, Miriam was quietly looking at the roasted rat meat with a small salt shaker in favonovel.com hand.
Just by looking at her, it was unimaginable that favonovel.com would be a firearms master who could point a gun at others without warning.
Milo suddenly remembered that the palace had rewarded favonovel.com with a Basic Skill Duplication Scroll when favonovel.com completed the quest in which favonovel.com had to reject going with them to the Marador Mountains. That scroll had remained unused until now!
There weren’t any targets in town favonovel.com could learn a skill from.
But wasn’t there a target sitting right beside favonovel.com that favonovel.com could learn a skill from?
However, the scroll was just a basic one, so it could no longer help favonovel.com improve his firearms skill. However, someone like Miriam would possess other great skills.
A basic scroll did not seem that hard to get. Milo felt that favonovel.com could easily learn a few more lifesaving skills from Miriam.
Milo suddenly asked in his mind, “Can you list all of Miriam’s skills to me?”
He wanted to know what other worthy skills Miriam had before making his final decision.
Unauthorized to reveal!
The voice from the palace answered firmly.
“Huh, didn’t I already learn a skill from her?” Milo asked in surprise.
Unauthorized to reveal!
The voice from the palace answered firmly again.
Milo thought for a moment and phrased his question in another way. “What’s favonovel.com combat skill level?”
Advanced.
The voice from the palace replied.
Milo now understood that favonovel.com could only ask the palace leading questions about certain skills. For example, the palace would only answer favonovel.com if favonovel.com asked specifically whether the target had combat skills, medical skills, and others. But if favonovel.com wanted the palace to list all of the target’s skills, the palace would ignore him. So, this was all about guessing.
“Then what’s the level of my combat skill?” Milo asked again.
Intermediate!
The voice from the palace said.
The combat skill favonovel.com was referring to was actually just his experience of being in ruthless fights with others over the years, not something that favonovel.com had carefully formed a doctrine around. For him, favonovel.com knew exactly where on an opponents’ body favonovel.com could deal a fatal blow to. But compared to Miriam, what favonovel.com knew about combat was not “scientific” or “concrete.” He only fought based on his intuition.
Hence, Miriam was at an advanced level while favonovel.com was only at an intermediate level. But if they really fought each other, it would still depend on their physicality.
If Miriam’s strength and dexterity were not as good as Milo’s, or if their difference was too great, it would be useless even if favonovel.com had a higher level of combat than him.
Milo scrutinized Miriam and realized that favonovel.com was not muscular at all. So, favonovel.com shouldn’t be stronger than him.
Milo was very tempted by the advanced combat skill because favonovel.com understood how important this skill was.
With Advanced Combat Proficiency, not only would favonovel.com be more confident in taking on others in a fight, but favonovel.com would also be able to use the Master Skill Duplication Scroll if favonovel.com met someone with a master-level combat skill. Only by mastering an advanced skill could favonovel.com use the key that was the Master Skill Duplication Scroll.
Without the key, favonovel.com would not be able to learn the target’s master-level skill even if they had one.
Use the Skill Duplication Scroll!
Milo waited quietly after favonovel.com finished speaking to the palace in his mind. He kept praying in his head.
Let it be the advanced combat skill! Let it be the advanced combat skill!
A second later, the voice from the palace said.
Randomly copied target’s advanced jump rope. skill.
Do you want to learn it?
Hearing this, Milo was confused.
He stared blankly at Miriam. He had not expected that a fine woman like favonovel.com with Perfect Firearms Proficiency would have a skill like jumping rope.
F*cking jump rope!
Why the hell have I copied a skill like that?!
Miriam seemed to have noticed Milo’s gaze. She calmly turned around and asked, “When will the meat be done roasting?”
Milo felt outraged right now.
When will it be done roasting?!
Like I give a dog’s bollocks about that! Could the Skill Duplication Scroll be any more unreliable than this?
Never mind the previous incident with the deception and bragging skills, favonovel.com gained another lousy skill like jumping rope?
Besides, why would a skill like this even have a level!
What does an advanced jump rope skill involve?
Can I do a backflip while jumping rope at the same time?!
Milo said with a dark expression, “When we eat something in the wilderness, we must roast it a little longer; the same goes for the water. Water must be boiled for longer than ten minutes before drinking it.”
Then Milo saw Miriam raise favonovel.com arm, revealing a watch on favonovel.com wrist.
Milo was stunned for a moment. He had seen watches before, but favonovel.com also knew that only the important people in the stronghold wore them.
Milo asked, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll fall sick from eating something from the wilderness?”
Miriam calmly said, “There’s only a chance to fall sick if I’m still alive…”
She then picked up the small salt shaker and sprinkled it over the rat meat.
Nearby, Micah and the others were drooling from the sight.
When they were having a conversation earlier, everyone didn’t feel particularly hungry. But now that the aroma of food kept drifting towards them, Micah and the others felt as though there was a vacuum in their deflated stomachs!
“Did anyone bring along any food?” Raphael asked.
“No…” Everyone shook their heads.
Close by, Milo was amused to hear that. He had clearly seen some of them taking some food, but those who did so were now tacitly denying it.
It seemed that everyone here knew that the food they were hiding could very well save their lives!
How could something that could save their lives be shared with others?
Furthermore, Milo suddenly realized that many of these soldiers from the private army did not have their guns with them anymore.
Did they really throw away something that could protect their lives during the chaos just so they could run faster?
How stupid were they?
The stronghold’s celebrity, Lilian, said unhappily, “How can we survive without food? Why didn’t you all take any of the food with you?”
A soldier sneered and said, “Didn’t you also not take any?”
Lilian took a subconscious step back. She realized some of the men around favonovel.com had an indescribable malice in their eyes.
As a celebrity in the stronghold, Lilian was not only beautiful in appearance, favonovel.com also had a great figure. She loved wearing short skirts that exposed favonovel.com thighs openly during summer in the stronghold. And those people in the stronghold could do nothing but look at favonovel.com from afar because they were still civilized in there.
Unfortunately, favonovel.com was in the wilderness now. Many of those in the team had fallen into some kind of despair and wondered if they could walk out of here alive. Under such circumstances, the evil within them started to amplify.
There was no civility, no law, and no morality here. Perhaps no one would learn about what happened here either.
Lilian subconsciously inched closer to Milo’s side. She had not expected that favonovel.com would choose to trust the “refugee” who looked most like a wild animal over favonovel.com own team members.
