Chapter 44: Hunter’s Gambit
Max measured Kaiju’s fever from time to time. Soon, Kaiju’s fever dwindled until he could open his eyes. At the same time, the Gacha System’s voice echoed in his mind.
{Your body finally adapted to Cold Resistance skill. Cold Resistance skill has finally taken effect. Cold Resistance Skill, Rare grade, has been added to your status!}
Kaiju’s mouth curved upward. He grinned ear to ear. Another passive resistance skill, rare grade at that, had been added to his status. ’Should I call myself a passive resistance gatherer? Adding Rare grade to it?’ He thought silly, causing him to chuckle.
"Seeing your delightful reaction, you must have finally recovered, right?" Kaiju was familiar with the voice and turned his head, seeing Max reading a book while leisurely sitting on a rocking chair. Kaiju smiled and replied, "Yes. Thank you for looking after me."
Max stood up, stored the chair and book on his inventory and walked forward. He suddenly kicked Kaiju’s bed, causing it to collapse. Thankfully, Kaiju reacted on time and appeared beside the bed, standing with an appalled expression. He glanced at Max, seeing the latter furrowing his eyebrows.
"It has been five days. Stop slacking off now and go to Qwanisha. Train with your pets." Max sighed. "We can’t waste anymore time. We are being observed by them."
Kaiju’s hair stood on ends. He warily swept his gaze and indeed, he perceived menacing gazes locked into him. They might have been dissatisfied with him sleeping around, wasting the time they were given. Kaiju took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I’ll quickly go with them." Kaiju pulled the hood and disappeared into the shadows.
Max was stunned by his stunt and smiled. He whispered, "Work hard, Kaiju. Let us survive this ordeal."
