Seeing that there's no item within that could alleviate the salamander's current situation from the rewards he got from completing the first quest of the system, Naib immediately set his sights on the Newbie box.
In an instant, upon opening his inventory, Naib was instantly captivated by the familiar Newbie box glowing with an earthly glow, which gave off a serene aura.
However, noticeably, other than the lock within the center of the newbie box finally being gone, another locked box beside the existing newbie box caught his attention.
Compared to the newbie box, this new box within the system's inventory was entirely coated in metallic black, akin to an old iron box that was forgotten and being tested by time.
Ding!
[ Beginner Gift (Locked): A gift that contained various rewards that was suitable for a beast master.
Requirements to unlock: Complete the 2nd quest of the system. ]
"Great, another reward to anticipate.'
Upon mumbling a couple of words, Naib then set his gaze on the newbie box of the system; clasping his hands to pray for good luck, Naib anticipatedly and slowly clicked the bronze box, hoping to get what he was looking for.
Shing!
Click~ Click!
With a faint sound of clicking, akin to a door being unlocked, the bronze box within the system's inventory abruptly released a warm golden glow; a light not blinding enough instantly occupied most of Naib's vision, causing Naib's eyelids to squint greatly.
Soon, after a seeming eternity, the light finally receded, unfolding the open bronze box within, containing miniature items inside.
Ding!
[ Congratulations on receiving the following items.
1 blank common skill, 25 fate points, and a low-grade yellow sword. ]
Ding!
[ Blank common skill: upon usage, you can learn a common skill depending on your preferences, ranging from movement, attack, defense, and support skills. ]
Ding!
[ Sharp Sword: A sword that went beyond the mortal perspective. Not only can it handle the star force of beast masters efficiently, but it can also boost them by a significant amount.
Grade: Low-Grade Yellow.
State: Perfectly fine. ]
(Items' and equipment's grades were divided into 4 known grades, known as mortal grade, yellow grade, earth grade, and heaven grade, which were further divided by four sub-stages, like low, mid, late, and peak.
Similarly, the skills that the beast master used in order to manipulate the star force inside their body also used the same grade system.)
"This is amazing, but the thing I was looking for was nowhere to be found.'
Closing the inventory, Naib soon set his gaze on the new shop feature beneath his character panel.
Then, with bated breath, Naib clicks the shop feature.
Ding!
In an instant, after his finger landed on the thin screen in front of him, the thin, almost transparent screen in front of him suddenly churned — akin to the crude sliding power point, the text within the system panel abruptly shifted before changing into another panel — unfolding a panel with 10 items within that was filled with explanations regarding their uses and their origin.
Ding!

...
This!
In an instant, upon seeing the goods listed within the system's shop, Naib's eyes instantly widened; his finger trembled slightly as he wiped his eyes in disbelief.
Not only were the goods present within the shop extremely useful to the current him, but their price was also astonishingly low!
Although most of the items present within the shop cost 10 fate points and above, needing him to kill 5 low-mortal beasts at the very least just to earn the necessary fate points to buy them, it still can be considered cheap.
It could be said that even the rare sunshine leaf that can only be found once a year and is only being sold in auction houses costs at least 10 congealed stones, a thing that his predecessor or the current him couldn't have dreamed of buying!
But now, who would have thought that this system of his offered something that all people wished to obtain just for 10 fate points!?
"Moreover, there's also the item I was looking for.'
Seeing the healing paste among the list, Naib, without further ado, immediately purchased the two stocks, causing his fate points to instantly reduce by 30, leaving him with 29 fate points on his account in the process.
Closing the character panel, Naib then stepped out from his hideout, only to arrive at the place where he usually practiced his skills after a couple of minutes.
Stretching his two palms to the empty space, Naib then slightly closed his eyes, focusing his mental energy to the depths of his consciousness where the beast space was placed before imagining his bounded beast materializing in the clearing meters away from him.
Shing!
In an instant, with the faint cold breeze swirling around, the familiar hexagon light began to unfold in the clearing at a distance, followed by the silhouette of the injured beast materializing under the serene glow of the hexagon light.
"What the... How's that possible!?'
