The next day when before I got out of bad I decided to try the mana glasses on.

An image of a fiend was portrayed for my eyes to see I was standing on top of the outpost wall looking at the path that leads to the gate.

This must be cannon man's eyesight, there should be a switch somewhere.

"Click"

Now I was in the forest there were green leaves all around me. It was disconcerting to be in the jungle visually but still, hear the noises in my room.

Apparently, elder wouldn't use flash step unless he was directly looting.

He went up to a tree that I had never seen before and started picking off bunches of berries.

Then he would put them into this tiny bag that was obviously not large enough to carry anything.

It must be a mana item that has a lot of storage.

Elder picked the lowest hanging berries, the higher hanging berries had more colors in them.

He kept working his way up until the screen held very still.

The screen instantly changed he used flash step!

He then executes a series of weak techniques combined together to expertly escape the area.

I hadn't seen anything to threaten him but to use flash step he must have considered it mortal danger.

This was foraging and it was how elder was able to provide for the entire base.

That mana bag must be super valuable perhaps it was the debt that was repaid with the ring they gave away.

I decided that elder would be fine now that he had flash step. He would only be in trouble if he got surrounded by all sides or met an enemy that was also capable of instantaneous movement.

I decided to eat my meal and then talk to some people in the outpost.

At the cafeteria, I had decided to dine in.

My meal for today was hundred year mountain goat ribs.

It had no ability it was just good for nourishing the body.

I saw the girl who could give buffs that I had arrived with.

I decided to sit by her.

"Hello, do you remember me?"

I asked, she looked up a little startled and then responded.

"Yes, you were the one who gave me extra mana."

"I gave us extra mana so we could all survive. How goes your expeditions into the forest."

"Not so well I'm not useful enough to be accepted into a team yet and I don't have enough saved up for a good ability ring."

"I'll take care of the ability ring if you can find a team."

Her unique ability made her perfect to be the captain of the first looter brigade.

"Then ill find a team and meet back here with you in a week?" She said with a smile."

"That's a promise don't forget it," I said as I got up and left the cafeteria.

When I got to my room I put on the mana glasses.

"Both channels were that of the inside of the outpost. I guess grand elder had filled up his sack for the day."

In the future, I wanted to plan my schedule around elders trips so I could get more entertainment.

I sat in the sun reading until I eventually fell asleep.

The next day when I got up I checked my arm.

Seventy five mana was all that I had to complete the first looter brigade I needed 450 mana.

But that could wait, with grand elder upgraded my future was basically gonna be alright. As long as he didn't run into a really strong opponent.

I was gonna eat breakfast while watching grand elders adventure and then id go train in the forest inside of the outpost.

I picked up the food it was a Slab of unknown hundred year beast meat smeared in 200 hundred year rainbow jelly.

Apparently, grad elder prepared meals for me a day ahead of time.

The jam was made from the berries he had gathered yesterday.

It was rare to get a fruit over a hundred years old as most was guarded by strong heart beasts.

They would consume the fruit and evolve there mana heart.

When I got done eating I realized I had gotten a new ability.

Stored mana~There is a chance upon eating foods over a hundred years old that some of the mana will be absorbed.

Before I could only upgrade my mana production through increased regen. Now I had a chance to get mana in chunks from anything a hundred years and older.

Such was the power of fruit over 100 years old.

I put on the glasses and laid back in bed.

The image that was portrayed as this.

There was a rocky mountain range with boulders the size of a man.

They were resting on the hillside of an extremely large grey mountain.

Up ahead was a nest of eggs all of them had grey scales on them except for one of them that had red scales interlaced into them.

Elder used a bunch of abilities combined to move through the rock field like a ghost.
