I Can Make Everything Level UP

The next day, Billy started teaching everyone how to read and write. Once they learned the skills, Billy made them level up with his mana. Once they realized that they were making a lot of progress pretty fast, they felt even more motivated to study, so that was enough for the time being. The only problem was their handwriting… Kate and Lily were fine, but Natalie and Alexander were rather messy and rough. They liked to write as fast as possible, after all. Still, that was something that could be fixed over time.

While he was a bit slow, Billy already could read the list of things that Gerald prepared for them. The things that they would need were some torches, knives to cut and pull out some parts of the monsters, a bag to carry the materials and loot they find inside the dungeon, bandages to treat wounds, and water to clean them. Putting aside the last two, which was kind of obvious, the other three made Billy realize that clearing dungeons was a bit too simple… or perhaps Gerald was taking the dungeon lightly since he was so strong. Also, he put some notes aside from the things that they would need. He explained that the monsters were giant beetles that had two antennae. Those had two gems in them that they used to track their enemies. Those gems couldn ’t be used for much, but they were pretty and somewhat gave special effects to accessories… Billy recalled those. The accessory peddlers were selling that type of thing in his town.

”Giant beetles, huh… ” Billy said.

”Insects? I was hoping to face something more… impressive? ” Lily said.

”You didn ’t even fight one and are already complaining, ” Billy frowned. ”Anyway, I could handle this alone. ”

”Shopping is kind of fun and it will also give us more chances to walk around the town, ” Lily said.

Billy didn ’t get the appeal of shopping. Spending money to buy new things… mostly things that were unnecessary was something beyond him. In any case, he visited some shops where he could buy those things, but he only asked the price and then left. When he was far away enough, he wrote the location of the shop and their prices.

”What and why are you writing? ” Kate asked.

”To practice and not to be fooled by merchants that might be overpricing their goods, ” Billy replied.
