PRSR | Chapter 5.3

The monster’s 3a13e3e6a1 leather was 619b6c24c0 thick and 6064a1285e tough, making 17743259f0 it much e0f2dd5b01 harder to 06b9dfb6e3 butcher than 871b58a2c4 the Goblin. I thought 8a042a3c05 I had b859f4a48a built my 3801ffd8f0 strength and f0dced83cd stamina running 7733e83438 around in cc818a60dc the Tutorial 20d23e9f16 Field, but ff41586fce I was ab0b924c30 still just 93ce4ccb8a a barely 1b1f6416ad awakened person, f6889af835 so this 25f872b724 was tough.6a61dddeb79a97b3

Even though it was e0e882eaba his first try, Jjikjjiki’s 24663b952b butchering skills were not 8ba8d4da08 bad at all.

With just a bit 069e809921 more practice, he would 75e11b6884 probably be able to 215ee58ee0 butcher high-quality leather faster 774287b019 than I could.531ddf6cf46a3ee3
