Chapter Twelve

Joe made it back to the village that early evening after slicing through slimes throughout the day having reached level five in forester. With even just the slight bonus he had gained from just the half extra learning from both commoner and hunter, he was able to finish with a bit more comfortable timing. He'd also made sure to finish his lunch a bit quicker to give himself that extra edge in time. While he had been quite excited about the ten percent bonus from previous jobs, forester proved to be a disappointment as well, essentially the same as hunter. It had excited him slightly when he saw the extra boost to his intelligence, but it was quite muted when he realized that his basic stats could be easily mitigated by simply leveling dozens of jobs to a mediocre level ten. The stats he gained from it would certainly be welcome, but they were ultimately meaningless because he was currently operating on his earth stats and not his current stats. The only stat that seemed to be meaningful to him at this time was the learning stat. Doesn't matter now, but it will be incredibly important so I'm not going to complain.
