Another Stupid Isekai

Chapter 768 T.D.O.N.B: Preparations



The next morning, when everybody began to wake up, I was already waiting with three piles of sorted crystals. According to my math, there were 2 384 170 points stored in them in total.

- Early bird catches the worm - I said to those people, and waved towards them to get closer.

They had to immediately get what I meant and rushed to form a line.

- Use the device, and check how many points you will need to get your health back, then return to me, so you can get the correct amount. No cheating! No fucking around! Hopefully, there will be enough for everybody - I spoke the instructions.

The first person in line followed immediately. Around ten people in the process, I was fairly confident that the amount per person would stay around 50k, but it changed. A few hours later, we had already a few big fluctuations with the prices going down to even 20k but also rising to almost 100k.

Genetic diseases were the worst to fix. With cancer it depended on its location and the spread in the body, I guess. The cheapest were missing limbs.

With the number of crystals I brought, we were able to fix everybody, but it was quite a close call since I was left with only 223 170 points in crystals. Then Tihana stepped in.

- Everybody, listen! - she had to shout because the exciting conversations going on were quite loud. - Today and tomorrow we are going to focus on getting you prepared for hunting, but this is only the first step! The second step is to get you prepared for combat. I will be taking care of that. I\'m gonna start with a lecture about goblins, so you know what to expect.

Her words made them all shut up and listen. The effect was overwhelming. I thought that there maybe will be a little bit of an issue, considering her young age, but I was wrong. For some reason, she had a strong authority from the start.

- Then we will begin practice. Me, John, and my mom will show you what you can expect during your future encounter in the woods, and show you how to react. I guess my dad could get us some wooden swords to practice with - she glanced at me briefly. - The day after tomorrow, I want you all to have a little bit of an idea of how to do your future job. We will start as a whole, to then, already in the goblin woods, split into smaller groups. I want to first show you myself how the fight will look for you, so then you can do it yourselves. The groups will be for the most part created today and tomorrow, based on your performance.

The yelling made her pause for a moment, so she could regain her breath.

- Please take care of each other, and focus on safety over the crystals. You will start slowly, and it\'s normal. With time, though, you will be able to get more points each day, sot for that day to come we all have to stay alive first. Don\'t allow your greed to make your mind clouded. Don\'t make a stupid decision. Now the lecture...

- Please sit down. It might take w while! - Celestine butted in.

Her words made few people laugh, but they did listen, and round a spot for themselves in the city center. Tihana wasn\'t angry because of the interruption. She even nodded to her new mother.

I used this opportunity, to get further away, and observe from a distance. Obviously, I listened, and I have to admit, she was pretty spot-on with everything she was telling them about goblins. Way better than I would be, since it\'s been a while since I wasn\'t all awesome and almighty, so I had problems with putting myself inside the skin of a normal human being who can\'t just spawn a volcano on a whim.

The next part was a simulation of goblin behaviors. It included a bit of a theatrical performance with Celestine, and John. They showed the behaviors she previously spoke about in practice. Then I got a few wooden swords for practicing, which in total took 800 from the pile of crystals I still had. I wanted to give them out the proper weapons, but since I already put my daughter in charge, and since she wasn\'t saying anything, I also kept silent.

- Ok! This should be enough for today - Tihana finished the training session. - That should prepare you decently for future hunting. I think tomorrow we might get you the equipment, and after a little bit of review, you should be able to go hunt the day after tomorrow.

It was time to eat. Normally I would keep limiting rations since I wanted to put all the possible points in the upgrades of the device, but they all needed to get the energy for a full exhausting day of hunting, so I decided to give out more than I would usually do.

​ I lost another 4k from the pile of crystals in such a way, and the rest was put in my vault for the purpose of getting the equipment according to Tihana\'s schedule.

You probably might be wondering at this moment why I didn\'t mention the new location with monsters which appeared in a place where in Arc the wastelands were located, but I\'m leaving this description for later when others had to face it while being supervised with me. For me it was nothing, but for them, it was quite an interesting experience.

Plus the class I unlocked also at least had an interesting sound to it. That too should remain a mystery for now.

The day ended up with a little fest. Since the promises so far were fulfilled, the population of Petrograd was ecstatic about what the future was gonna bring them. I was ecstatic too because I could finally have an opportunity to spend some time with all the members of my family doing something I was great about, hunting.
