After talking to Mika about training others in using spears, Adrian hurriedly opened his inventory, planning to combine all the armors he could.
However, before he could do that, the notification he didn’t want to appear just yet appeared before him.

"Oh, fuck!"
Adrian cursed after seeing the rating. He didn’t even have to check the rankings to know he had gotten flung out of the top hundred players.
Just a few more minutes and he would have gotten a much better score. As for why he was so keen on getting a high score, Sera had seen that the top fifty global players received treasure chests based on their ranking.
The top ten players even received legendary chests, which was the reason most of them remained in the top ten. The next ten received epic-grade chests and so on.
"Just because I joined the ga late, I couldn’t get my hands on a chest..." Adrian sighed. "No point in thinking about it anymore, but I should get a watch sohow for proper ti managent."
With that, he checked the rewards, and they weren’t bountiful like before. However, that didn’t an they were bad.

Adrian read through the rewards list and realized sothing. Most of the ti, the settlent rewards were related to sothing he did.
The last ti he captured chickens and got pages of a beast taming book. This ti, he built a farmland and got a page related to agriculture and also a bunch of seeds. It was a sha he didn’t get any farming tools, but it wasn’t like he was going to plant the seeds before Sera made the pots.
It couldn’t be a coincidence, which ant there was more to the settlent system than he assud.
"So, if I capture so fish, would I get a pond?" he mumbled.
Although there wasn’t any area for him to put a pond within the fence, he could build it close by. If he did, it would solve the imdiate need of irrigating the farm.
Other than farming related rewards, there were only two things. First, the watchtower, and the second was an enhancent card.
Since he hadn’t seen the latter before, he checked it out first.
The card had a white border and had an engraving of a person’s silhouette striking a pose like they were mbers of the Ginyu Force.

Na: Basic Physique Enhancent.
Type: Common
Uses: 1
Description: Upon activation, the card is absorbed directly into the body of the user. After absorption, the card would permanently boost the stats of a user in the following range:
⬦ Strength 3~10
⬦ Endurance 3~10
⬦ Agility 3~10
⬦ Max Endurance 15~20
⬦ Max HP 20~55
⬦ Physical damage output 8~11%

⬦ Stamina regen rate 10~15%
Note: Only two enhancent cards can be used per person per tier. Repeated use of enhancent cards would yield lower results.

It was quite useful for Adrian, given that they were going to fight multiple enemies in the near future. However, he looked at himself and realized he liked his body as it was.
"I don’t want to get bulky to the point that I can’t even scratch my back..." he mumbled.
[This kid is weak.]
A rough, yet familiar voice echoed in his head. Undoubtedly, it belonged to the Brute ancestor.
Adrian did not pay any attention to him, though. The pain from his ’body enhancent’ was still fresh in his mind. If he used a card and activated the 10x blessing again, he would probably die from the rapid changes in his body.
Then again, the threat of a brutal fight was looming over his head. As such, having better stats would be useful.
"As they say, no pain, no gain."
With a sigh, Adrian closed his eyes and activated the card. Seconds passed, then minutes, but he didn’t feel a thing. After a few more seconds, he opened his left eye to see a flashing notification.
[Error. Cannot use the item: Basic Physique Enhancent card.]
[The user’s stats have already crossed the tier 1 mark.]
[Please complete the tier advancent quest to further upgrade your stats.]
"The fuck do you an already crossed tier 1? What even is it in the first place?"
[Tier 1 reflects the stats of a human on Savage Earth.]
[The average stat of a primitive human is 30. The User has exceeded that limit and cannot use Enhancent Card to further boost their stats to maintain fairness.]
Adrian lost his cool as soon as he heard about ’fairness’. How was it fair that despite joining the world a day later, he was still being forced to rank in the sa ranking as those who ca before him?
Then he realized that he wasn’t in a position to complain. After all, he had multiple systems and ancestors to assist him. Which other player had all that?
"Let’s just go and sleep."
Suddenly, he felt too tired to do anything. The armor and the watchtowers could wait for tomorrow as he headed towards his room. Only to be surprised after opening the door.
Amika was sitting on the bed wearing a crown of aromatic wildflowers. Adrian could sll the fruity scent even before stepping inside.
"Male... you are back," she whispered, getting up.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, even though he knew why she was there.
Instead of replying with words, Amika reached down and untied the simple cord holding her pelt skirt. The skirt fell to the floor around her feet, leaving her completely bare apart from the grass top.
Adrian’s throat went dry as he stared at her. The sight of his beautiful mate offering herself made him forget all about his tiredness.
While he stared at her, she took his hand and gently pulled him toward the bed.
"You worked so hard today," she whispered, climbing onto the bed. "Please let go of all your tiredness in ."
"I could definitely use so of that," he murmured, grabbing her waist. "But, can we try sothing... different?"
