'Holy shit!'
This sudden development shocked Albert too much. He would have never thought that everything would open the moment he learned about this.
Not only did he get a versatile skill, but he also got various missions that he could explore. However, his thinking time was cut short when the demon raised his voice.
"Oi, are you listening to me?"
"Ah? Yes." Albert hurriedly nodded, not wanting to be suspicious.
"Anyway, the trunk should have become a good wooden block over there and we would send it for building. However, if we want to make furniture, the process will become very complex, so we will move it to another room."
"I see. Hmm…" Albert looked down as if contemplating what he just learned. However, what he truly did was talk to Bonkey.
'By the way, is there any use if I learn Bonk Bat Blueprint? Shouldn't Bonk Bat be free to use?'
[There are various things you can do with Bonk Bat. Since you can only use the Bonk Bat, you need to be creative in how you use it. For example, you can turn the Bonk Bat into an arrow if you slightly shorten it.]
'Now that I think about it, how do I snipe someone from 500 feet away without a bow like the mission?'
[That's what you should think about.]
'Bonkey, you suck.'
[You too if you can't come up with an idea how to do that.]
'…' Albert paused for a moment and asked, 'By the way, I remember a certain meme. It's about a Bonk Bat that turns a dog into a dog girl or something because it's a horny bat. Can I do it that way?'
[You will receive the answer after receiving both Healer and Magician Job.]
'Hoh, the possibility exists. That means I don't need to worry that my opponent is not horny anymore because I can make them horny continuously.'
[But you won't receive any bonus from it and the reward of defeating that type of opponent will be considered the same as the normal opponent. After all, you artificially make your opponent horny with the power of Bonk, unlike what you did to the adventurer.]
'I see. Even so, it's very useful, especially in a battle. Like fighting that adventurer, I can situate myself in an advantageous situation because of the Horniness itself. I mean, I don't need to spend my Bonk Bites needlessly.'
[That's your choice. I'm just trying to provide everything.]
'Haha, you should just give me the abilities.'
He waited for a moment, but Bonkey didn't say anything. 'Ignored huh.'
Since Bonkey didn't want to talk to him, Albert finally raised his head and looked at the demon next to him. "Can I try cutting the tree? I think I have come up with something useful."
"Hmm?" The demon furrowed his eyebrows, not believing Albert. After all, he just came here.
Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, he said, "This is my line of work. I am trying to improve people's living standards."
"In that case, there is a failed trunk there." He thought for a moment and shook his head. "Never mind. I will show you myself."
He didn't believe what Albert could do and was afraid because Albert had shown a sign of changing. He wouldn't like Albert destroying some random stuff because he wanted to try something, so he volunteered himself to show the trunk.
"Thank you." Albert smiled, not caring about what he thought. In his mind, he only wanted to cut the tree to test his skill and hypothesis.
The demon had no job at the moment, so he immediately rose from his seat and walked to another room.
Albert followed him carefully before finding a curved tree inside. The cut itself was already made halfway, but because of the bending tree, the cut became uneven and they ultimately damaged the entire trunk.
"This is the trunk. We planned to use this for training purposes, but no one has used it yet. Since not many people are intrigued by this line of work, you can use this." He pointed at the trunk. "But I'm going to watch you because I don't want you to break anything else."
"I understand." Albert nodded with a smile as he walked toward the tree.
He placed his hand on the tree with a serious expression before touching the tip of the trunk. "Here I go…"
"What are you trying to do? You need to pick the saw over—!" The demon suddenly fell silent when Albert used his skill.
He could see a white flash moving horizontally to the other end. But because the wood was curving, it only cut a part of its body.
"Wait a minute…" The demon hurriedly rushed toward the trunk and pushed the top part.
He suddenly dropped his jaw to the ground when the top part fell off, revealing a smooth surface.
"So smooth." The demon rubbed the tree and looked around, realizing that Albert cut perfectly below the mistake. Because of this cut, the demon thought it was still possible to cut the tree by sacrificing the bending part.
It would sell less, but it would still generate money.
"What did you do?" The demon looked at Albert in shock.
"I only use a spell that allows me to generate sharp energy that can only move through the wood. The energy can only move horizontally for now, so I can't really cut the bending part." Albert sighed.
"Are you serious?" The demon trembled as he never thought this was something possible. "How is your Magic Power?"
Albert didn't have Magic Power, but he answered him according to the Bonk Bites comparison. "I don't think it requires much Magic Power."
"Really?!" The demon widened his eyes as Albert's explanation never ceased to amaze him.
"Yeah, I can tell you my experience in using this spell and you can try whether you can learn it or not," Albert explained.
The demon suddenly dropped to his knees and looked at Albert in admiration. He remembered Albert's job again.
Since he was trying to improve their living conditions, this spell might allow them to finish their job faster with less power.
"But I can't really repay you for this." The demon scratched the back of his head. Although spell books were common, learning from them required money, so he almost forgot that it was rude to ask someone to teach you something useful for free.
Albert only smiled. "Don't worry about it. Think of this as thanks for showing me everything."
"You… Are you a saint? But you're a Demon Dog… Ehm, anyway, you're a good guy. Ah, by the way, can the others watch as well? It will be beneficial for others to see this."
"Sure. I don't mind."
Hearing his response, the guy immediately called for his friends. Because they didn't know what had happened, they were a bit skeptical. However, it soon changed when they found the smooth surface of the failed trunk.
Albert even showed them his spell one more time, shocking them.
Although he ended up cutting only sixty percent of the trunk, it was still better than zero.
At the same time, they were in shock by Albert's spell and never believed that Albert didn't mind teaching them his experience.
Some of them even tried to do it. Even though they couldn't cut it to the end, they realized it was possible to do it.
This alone made them very happy because it was very useful.
They were trying to thank him, but Albert declined their offers, saying he just wanted to learn more things about others to improve them as well.
After a few hints thrown at them, they even thought about introducing Albert to other workshops.
Although he was happy about it, he didn't have time to do all that because of what happened.
Albert, on the other hand, was happy with the new job he got. It was very useful in fighting inside the forest.
After teaching them about his skill, Albert decided to go back to the inn. However, his problem turned out to be coming to him once again.
'It's time to settle down. I'm looking forward to what will happen in the next couple of months. I will surely get stronger and eventually travel around the world.' Albert smiled. Talking about his goal gave him the energy to face tomorrow.
When he was about to take the last turn according to Yale's instructions, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Hmm…" Albert squinted his eyes and looked around. The main street was still bustling with people. Yet, the road to the inn didn't have a single person in it.
It was supposed to be a busy street because of the location, so this made him a bit suspicious.
'Did something happen?' Albert frowned and shook his head. 'I might be overthinking this.'
In the end, he walked forward while looking for an inn.
But his worry soon became a reality when Bonkey suddenly opened the system for him. Because of what happened previously in Borsoli Town, he had asked Bonkey to show his system if something went wrong or drastically changed.
And this was the first change he noticed as Bonkey showed none other than his Horny Targets.
[Horney Targets: 70]
"!!!" Albert's body flinched for a second and he looked around.
"Ah… Ah…"
"Mhmm…"
"More!"
The noises started to fill his ears. He had heard before even turning to this street, but he thought this was something possible because the town was near the Lust Kingdom Border, treating it as something similar to Lustville Town.
And those who did it must be inside their houses, so he didn't care much about it.
Yet, he was wrong.
Now that he had entered the street, he could pinpoint their location.
He took a glance to the left and saw a small gap between buildings. Inside this gap was two people, male and female. And it was apparent what they were doing.
'Seriously? Is this place open for sex?' Albert frowned before finding another gap not far from him. It was the same, but this time there were two couples doing it in the same place.
'Huh? This is weird. Shouldn't Yale notice this? Why didn't he bonk them?' Albert furrowed his eyebrows.
'I should sneak up on them and bonk them…' Albert thought this was a great chance as he didn't want to miss this opportunity, considering they were not in the open. Even if they saw him, they couldn't do anything because he would cover himself.
After thinking about it, he raised the bat on his waist and prepared to do it.
But the question in his mind increased when he saw Yale jumping to the street with his bat.
Yale hadn't noticed him as he immediately looked at the window.
Soon, a few demons jumped from his room with their hands in the front as if trying to grab Yale.
"What the heck is happening here?" Yale gritted his teeth and prepared to face them. Even though he could use his power, he didn't want to needlessly injure these people, so he held back first while looking for an opportunity to ask his teacher.
And that teacher called his name at the perfect time.
"Yale?" Albert widened his eyes.
Yale glanced at him with a surprised expression. "Teacher. What's happening here?"
"That's what I want to ask too…"
