《Mecha In Cultivation World》06- Announcement
Advertisement
After reaching the boundary of the jungle. He de-summoned his Snipe Suit Back. Took the ring out of his finger and then placed it in his pocket.
Although this ring looked cheap. He still doesn't want to take any chances. For all he knows, If someone stole this mecha suit from him than it would be near impossible for him to collect ten low-level spirit stones to buy another one.
Taking the rabbit meat and an elephant fruit Ambrose quickly moved towards his house. It was already evening time and dinner would be ready at any moment. He increased his pace.
Soon he was just a few steps away from his house when he saw Nelson and his father moving towards the jungle. And many people were following him.
Rowen stopped at his place and waved at Nelson. He also responded with a smile and came near him with a worried expression. "Where were you? I came to your house and your mom said that you have gone out." Nelson said.
Ambrose smiled. "I was in the jungle, to collect some fruits. Anyway, what is going on? Why is everyone running towards the jungle?"
Nelson looked at the bulge on the cloth bag over his shoulder and smiled. "So you got an elephant fruit. You should share some of it with your brother here. And as for the people here. They are all going to the jungle to find some Ice or water affinity herbs." Nelson said.
"The village chief has just announced that he has paid a huge amount of money and had ordered a higher tire beast group this time. He said all of them will be a fire affinity mana beasts. And to resist their fiery mana one needs either water or ice affinity herbs."
"My father and all his friend have formed a group. They will search the jungle tonight. However, you don't worry. My father has promised me that If we get some extra. I can share it with you."
Nelson said with a smile as he placed his hand on Ambrose's shoulder.
A warm smile also formed on Ambrose's face. Nelson was his true friend. "Nelson, I have found a dead Rabbit on the outskirts. You should have some breakfast tomorrow with us."
"Thanks, bro. Now I have to go with my father. You can come too if you want."

Ambrose denied him. "No, you go I have to be at home before dinner time." He has his own plans to get Ice mushrooms. He can't go with them or he will not be able to use his snipe suit.
"Ohh! And I remembered something. The village chief also demands fifteen silver coins from everyone who wants to give test tomorrow. If you need some then I can spare you." Nelson said as he suddenly remembered the village chief's words.
Ambrose heard his words and then clenched his fist in anger.
Nelson saw his complexion and let out a sigh. "Listen man. I know about our condition. However, this is the chance. If we get lucky enough then we can have our life settled. A fire affinity beast is not easy to come."
"And you don't worry about money. Your brother here will pay the rest if you are short on it."
Nelson didn't know about Village Cheif's plan. He only told them about the Fire Beasts because he wanted to extort money out of them. He knew that it would almost be impossible for these low-level villagers to find a suitable Ice Herb for tomorrow's test in one night.
Even Village Cheif himself had to send his daughter out to find one. That old man will also be searching for the herb alongside his daughter.
Ambrose looked at Nelson and then smiled. "You are my best friend dude. I will pay you back one day."
Nelson lightly punched him in the chest. "Don't worry about paying back. Focus on yourself first. Ok, I am going now or my Dad will kill me." He said and then ran away.
A warm smile formed on his face as he looked at his back. He was his true friend. No one else in the village would ever give them money without expecting to get anything back.
'I have to help him in tomorrow's test.' Ambrose decided and then moved towards his house with a determined look on his face.
After entering his house he saw his mom, placing the dishes on the ground. Ambrose can smell the chicken soup aroma from the house door.
Thalia saw him and a worried expression appeared on her face. "Did you hear the village chief's announcement?" She asked him.
Ambrose nodded and then placed the meat and Elephant fruit wrapped in red cloth on the floor.

"Do we have enough money?" He asked.
Although he can get some money from Nelson. It can't be too much. Taking even five more coins from him will put too much toll on Nelson's family.
Thalia nodded. "Yes, I was saving some for your marriage. However, I am not worried about it. How will we get an Ice Herb? You can take my red horned bull if you want and find it tonight."
"I can also come with you. If you want." She was worried about her son. Everyone knew that only by having a beast pet, poor talentless people like them have any chance of surviving in this cruel world.
If Ambrose failed tomorrow's test than it would be very hard on her own. She and her red horned bull will get old one day. Then who will take care of Ambrose if he doesn't have a Mana beast?
Ambrose let out a relieved sigh when he heard her words. He really didn't wanna take money from his friend. Although Nelson's father is at the level seven Body master. Silver coins are not easy to come even for them.
And as for the Ice herb. He will make sure to get it tonight with the help of his Snipe Suit.
"Don't worry mom. Nelson has promised me some Ice Herbs. I will follow them in the jungle tonight after dinner. You just make sure to cook a good rabbit for tomorrow's breakfast. Nelson will come to eat."
Ambrose said and then pointed at the red coloured cloth.
Thalia looked at the cloth and then unwrapped it. Just as she looked inside a surprised expression appeared on her face. There was black coloured meat present in the cloth with the Peach Coloured Fruit.
She looked at ambrose in surprise. "Where did you get this?"
He awkwardly rubbed his hand against his back and sat down in front of the chicken soup. "I just found it dead on the outskirts. When I was searching for the fruits.
I think it died of this fruit falling on it. He pointed at the Elephant Fruit in the cloth.
Thalia looked at the meat again. She had seen Rabbit meat after so many years. It was almost unbelievable to her eyes. After some time a smile broke out on her face.
"Don't worry, I will make sure it will be the best Rabbit Meat you have ever eaten." She said as she stood up with the cloth to place it in the salt to prevent it from rotting.
She also sliced a quarter of Elephant fruit and then gave half of it to Ambrose and started eating the remaining half herself.
Ambrose looked at her not eating the chicken soup and let out a sigh. "Why are you not eating Chicken Soup?" He asked.
"Ohh... I don't need chicken soup. You have to be in perfect condition for tomorrow's test. You need it much more." She said nonchalantly.
Ambrose wanted to argue. However, he knew that she will not listen to him. He gave up even before starting and quietly finished his bowl.
The soup was fragrant and very tasty. Although it was nothing like what he has tasted on earth. However, after the work, he has done today it tasted better than anything he has tasted before.
After finishing his bowl he stood up and then placed the empty bowl in the kitchen after washing it.
"Mom I am leaving for the jungle. I will be back in before the morning." Ambrose said and then moved out of the house.
"Be careful!" Voice of his mom resounded from his back.
At first, he wanted to sneak out of the house when his mom was asleep. However, now as he got the perfect chance. He got out after getting her permission. Moving out of the metallic gate. He sped up toward the jungle.
He didn't want to go with Nelson's team. However, will search on his own. That way he can use his snipe suit and find an Ice Herb Much efficiently.
He can even use his thermal scope to search for the herb or mushrooms much easily. He just has to find an area with negative thermal images.
Reaching the border of the jungle. He first looked around carefully and then equipped his snipe suit on. "Let's find an Ice Mushroom." He said and then jumped on the tree in front of him.
Moving like a shadow he disappeared in the lush leaves of Elephant tress within seconds.

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?
