I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 43
43 Deceiving Apperance
“I-isn’t this the legendary Thunderstorm Bear!?”
The Old Man exclaimed.
Fein looked at the one examining Voli. A white hair that reached his waist, and what was worth noting was despite his apparent age, the old man has some lean and explosive muscles that can only be gained through years of effort.
“Old Man, how did you know that?”
The Old Man looked at me with wonder. “You can call me Albert. I’m studying monsters and beasts. I’m quite knowledgeable about their various characteristics.”
His ears perked up after hearing about his profession. After all, someone who studies monsters should be strong. Because you had to fight monsters and analyze their characteristic. Obviously, this old man called Albert should have plenty of experience when facing monsters.
Fein looked at the old man with excitement. Because it happened that he would have to face monsters on his next journey. Undoubtedly, it would be a huge help if someone like Albert would teach him one thing or two about his experiences. It might save him from some troublesome situations and increase his chances of survival in the Monster World Secret Realm. So he activated his probe on him. Fein probe had evolved after he was promoted to the A level that now he can see the abilities as long as the target’s degu capacity doesn’t exceed him by two realms.
Albert the Old Max
Race: Human
.....
Degu Amount: C
STR: S
AGI: S
END: S f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
Abilities: Muscle Enhancement, Physique Enhancement, Explosive Muscles, Ghost Move.
His stats astonished Fein. Although he is only C Rank, his strength and speed are even stronger than his. Furthermore, his abilities are also related to his physique. If he goes all out, he can even contend with average S-ranked degu users. ‘No wonder he has those muscles.’ Fein thought.
“If it’s possible, can I chat with you for a while longer? Because it happened that I would like to know more about monsters,” Fein asked him straightforwardly.
Albert looked at him with doubt apparent on his face. “But aren’t you a beast tamer? A person who could tame even the Legendary Wind Bear should be a high-level one.”
‘Oh boy, if he only knew.’
What Albert said is reasonable. But if he only knew the process of how Fein accidentally tamed Voli, he might doubt the meaning of life. So Fein decided to keep this matter to himself. Though, beating Voli in the battle is also an enormous factor in successfully taming him. After all, no matter how awful his potion is. A legendary beast would only submit to someone stronger than them, or someone who could beat the shit out of them. Furthermore, Voli hasn’t fully grown yet, so his aversion to following someone should not be that high.
“I only tamed Voli with my strength and a little of luck, not by some professional knowledge,” Fein decided to tell him half-truths.
Hearing his answer, Albert nodded his head with understanding. It’s not uncommon to tame a beast using violence or strength. In fact, wild beasts and animals don’t have that much difference except for their strength and intelligence. Wild beasts that were influenced by degu energy are far more intelligent and stronger than their counterpart. But that doesn’t mean that they would lose their instinct.
“Then I don’t have an issue sharing to you my experience and some practical knowledge. But in exchange, you had to allow me to study the characteristics and behavior of your beast.” Albert looked at Voli with a burning gaze.
Voli, who was being looked at with a weird gaze, snorted, and made a shooing motion on his face. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
Albert had an amused face after seeing Voli’s response. He touched his chin as if thinking. “It seems that the theory is true. Higher-level beast IQ is comparable to that of a nine years old child or even better.”
Looking at the perverted gaze of Albert, Fein couldn’t help but shudder. Such a geezer has actually S combat prowess!?
*Sigh*
You can’t really judge a person solely by their appearance. In his past life, where looks reign supreme, people often make mistakes like this. People of his generation became so materialistic that if you are ugly, your value is good as shit. Well, it’s different, though, if you are capable. At least you still had a place in society.
“Let’s go. I can’t wait to roam around the city.”
Fein patted Voli, who understood the gesture, so it created a weird scene.
The scarred – face guard had an amused face and says. “A wild beast lining up with humans obediently. What a rare occurrence.”
“Well, it looks like it won’t be rare in the future.” Albert, who was next to him in the queue, added.
Fein chuckled at their antics.
After two minutes of waiting in the line. It was finally their turn.
“It seems that it’s time to say our goodbye.” Simon, who was busy inspecting the carriage, looked at him with a smile.
“Well, it looks like it would be a long time before we can see each other again.” A smirk made its way to his face.
Simon shook his head and turn around while driving the carriage. “Don’t die on me!”
After all of that inspection. The guard let them pass after making sure that they didn’t have some shady items on them.
“So where do we go first??” Albert turned his head towards him.
Fein placed his hand on his chin as a habit and started thinking.
His appointment with Lucius was still one week away. ‘It seems I need to settle here first and wait. And by the way, get familiar with this kingdom first.’
After all, this kingdom would prove helpful to him because it has a popular marketplace where trades in all walks of life are happening daily.
‘It’s decided then.’
“Let’s find an inn first and show me around the place,” Fein told Albert with his usual poker face.
Albert looked at Fein speechlessly. “With your confident face, I thought you were familiar with the place. It seems that I need to act as a guide for now.”
Albert let out a sigh.
