Reincarnated as a Phoenix

Chapter 93 - Gold

I'm also sure I heard a few of the lot smashing into the ore grunt at his comment there, they are working for a good wage after all so shut it and don't moan! It's not exactly like I didn't give you bottles and bottles of alcohol to get through as well so losing cake privileges isn't the end of the world. Hang on, if I had to choose between cake or alcohol, what would I choose?... That's like an impossible challenge! If Petra were involved in that choice, then there wouldn't be much of a choice but can't decide if they're only the two options.

"Understandable, we'll keep that in mind next time"

"You know that's a little ironic kid?"

While I also understand what he's getting at like Petra, that last thing he said about whipping them into shape is a little bit funny, shouldn't he be doing the same? It's not exactly like he's got much muscle despite clearly being the best miner down here.

"Ah, got a slight condition that causes my body this way, unsure what it's called but I've never been able to build up physical muscle"

Oh, well now I feel bad bringing it up even if he sounded perfectly fine mentioning it, I guess his strength comes from something else then? Maybe his muscles are small but dense? This is stupid, not going to ask further about something like that.

Thinking about it though, I haven't checked his status out yet, already know it won't be high but I'm still curious.

'Status'

[Name: Jaxon | Species: Human | Level: 6]

[Health 300/300]

[Stamina 258/300]

[Magicka 0/0]

'Never judge someone on their numbers, even if they're pretty low... I need to get him to kill something as some point to help him out though... hey Aesa, how would he be able to last a day mining and not pass out half way through? You'd think his stamina would be too low to mine, he seems to be involved as much as the others anyway then just doing advising work'

I ask that simply because of how much it seems to drain, you'd think having stamina that low wouldn't even last a day.

[<Is -user- seriously asking that question? We've already had this discussion, stamina drains doing various different activities, some drain more than others>]

'That's not my point though, I can lose close to a thousand a day by barely doing anything, you'd think he wouldn't be able to last that long'

[<Apologies -user-, Aesa misunderstood the question. Stamina drain does seem to be more percentage based then other stats. Point being, higher levels would drain more from basic activities but would always be worth it, example being -user's- longest time without sleep, record still standing at 9 days>]

'Fair enough... that really wasn't a fun flight though'

I guess that answers it, should probably go back to our conversation instead of getting sidetracked like usual.

"Fair enough then kid, we'll be sure to pop over quite a bit so if any other problems like packs of wolves roaming about or stuff like that, let us know"

"Erm... you know there are no wolfs on these islands, right? They seriously are safer than literally any other place, it's why so many people fork out their life savings getting a boat out here from all over the place"

(Petra) "At least that explains the question on why this place is so varied, standard of living isn't that bad as well"

"Yeah, for most it's a fresh start where other than starving, there isn't much else to worry about really. If there were more jobs and money floating about, then I could see this place attracting a lot more but for now, it's more than pleasant enough"
