Frostbound

It took a long time for my arm to heal but it wasn't as bad as the last time. [Meditation] eased the burden on the healers and boosted my vitality to heal the wound faster. I received feeling back in the hand after a few hours and fully healed a few more after.

Since the wave ended so... explosively, we had a lot of cleanup to do. The wall needed to be repaired as the blast was close enough to damage it, but that was only a matter of points, not manpower.

The trench had caved in, but at this point, it was more superficial than anything. As the beasts got stronger the threat of the trench waned. It wasn't the insurmountable obstacle it once was.

There were still traps that we made that had to be reset after the wave and we would have to purchase more from the store to make up for the ones we used. It seemed the threat of an F-rank was higher than we thought.

None of that concerned me though. It seemed a little arrogant to say, but I left that to the others. I needed to focus on [Meditation] and healing more than I needed to help clean up. I noticed my thought process changing the longer that this hell went on.

Before, I would think that I needed to do my fair share and help pitch in, now, I knew I had better things to do and to leave that task to the others.

This wave brought with it the needed points to finally upgrade the wall. 250,000 points was a lot to save up but over 4 waves worth of monsters, it became feasible.

The clear rewards just kept climbing every wave and resulted in the bulk of our points to spend. 27 people getting over 1,000 points each was a lot of points. Someone did the math and figured out the pattern behind where the number came from.

It took the lowest-level monster that the wave spawned and multiplied its point value by 10. So if the lowest level in the wave was level 10, it would take the points it was worth, 100, and multiply it by 10. This resulted in a wave completion reward of 1,000 points for every person who participated.

I thought it was wrong to go based on the lowest level instead of the highest level but I wasn't the one who made it. If there was someone who made it.

I knew that not every group in this tutorial was a family and that not every family was as close as ours was, and that made me wonder what would happen to the points of people who didn't pull their weight.

Say a group had people who didn't fight or were bad at it, would they force them to give up the points from completing the wave? I could see this going badly if the ties between group members were weaker.
