PRSR | Chapter 5.3

The monster’s ba2c1ae044 leather was ce3d9b4a8e thick and 9fa506f2c8 tough, making 32cfa8658c it much e3b0e8456c harder to d83ae0d5e2 butcher than c0701912e5 the Goblin. I thought I d8012a507f had built my 91a3ba49e2 strength and stamina cd287326d4 running around in 15cb25499e the Tutorial Field, 225c49fd90 but I was 9266ca73fc still just a c9e76159b0 barely awakened person, 4a0822d2f4 so this was 05e7d718d8 tough.43190acdb50dae34

If I continued 21941889b6 butchering in this 26525c401b condition, I would 665167eaaa definitely get infected, d963565761 so we needed 16326eb4b2 to head back 4591392951 to the village 0cb562c967 for proper treatment. I regretted not 5ef84f130f preparing healing potions 819dfa14fc in advance since a5c8c680fc I had not f1c3b8692e expected to butcher bfd8af738f today.7e7276c8a32b0e79

Even though 7ddf9279c9 it was 89c425e097 his first 2701c7c45a try, Jjikjjiki’s 32e532f257 butchering skills 28599c4fbd were not 14ed8ab594 bad at 3d7ccd480f all. In fact, 4974b45a33 because of c4c6067256 his strength, 2954b6590e the cut 4e6f10b8d4 was very 625197aa30 clean. With just a 255d7be3ae bit more practice, 41f19bf73f he would probably 17c5c47840 be able to f8cfdc77d0 butcher high-quality leather 6ec46d2b81 faster than I 5386b499f4 could.6a1881bc5bb95dfc
