Gaju - One
Chapter 56 - Future Road
"Koga.." call Tia.
"I know," answered Koga in short.
"Songlan, there's no time. You should start hunting Gaju immediately. Before Gama or Koma move. 1000 points is a lot. The rest is just a bonus," Koga orders flat.
"Humph," Songlan replied and she left the room.
Soon, the shadow of a group of people left the Complex quickly, heading towards the Forest which was to the north.

Gaju pulled out his needle quickly from the body of a Tree Tiger that was sprawled lifelessly in front of him.
After removing the Limiter that he put on his own body, the level 4 creature like the Tree Tiger, was not a significant threat to Gaju.
This is the fifth victim today.4 tails of creativity level 4 and 5 tails of creativity level 5 fulfill the acquisition of Gaju points today to as many as 118 points.
Gaju looked towards the Sun which began to be seen disappearing in the western horizon and began to show the orange-colored dim light.
He took a breath and decided to put an end to his point-gathering effort today.
Gaju then moves quickly and freely between the trees that look very familiar to him.
As planned, Gaju was only hunting in an area of 3 kilometers that he had mapped yesterday.
After all the wild animals here succeed he 'harvest' Gaju will only decide to move to a new 'field. Of course with the same strategy, first map the area and hunt its inhabitants one by one.
A simple but very effective strategy.

"Archer," murmured Adel.
He was looking at the list of items projected by the mini-computer in his hand.
Aju sat down and fell silent next to him.
Since the battle with Griffin, Adel had indeed realized his weakness as a pure strategist without any meaningful combat power.
When facing an enemy that might not be so dangerous, his Strategist ability might be able to overcome the problem. When he fought tandem with a fighter like Aju, he could also demonstrate his abilities effectively as a supporting partner. But when the fighter fighting in front of him is no more, Adel will only be a sheep waiting for his turn to be slaughtered.
Adel doesn't want that to happen again.
He wants to play an active role in the fight. And the decision he took was to become a long range combatant.
Aju will continue to fight with close range as before, Adel will still perform its function as a supporting strategist but with the addition of long range combatant ability to help their team attack power.
Aju who understood Adel's wishes clearly agreed. Who refused every favor he could get in a fight risking his life.
And here they are now, choosing the type of long-range fighter that is suitable and in accordance with the wishes of Adel.
After looking at the list of items given by the Island, Adel and Aju now also realize that their assumptions so far about the concept of perfect warrior education that they understand are very limited.
They, and perhaps all Candidates, have long assumed that there are only two types of soldiers, fighters and strategists. But, after looking at the list of items provided by the Island, they realized that their assumption had been wrong.
Fighter and Strategist are just two basic groupings that the Island does based on the genetic abilities possessed by each candidate. Advanced-stage capability development turns out to be very varied and much broader than they imagined.
Archers.
Berserkers.
Sword Masters.
Blade Masters.
Mechanics.
Herbalists.
Poison Masters.
Medic.
And a series of more types of soldiers that they can choose are available in the list given by the Island.
But, all of that is not given for free. Everything needs points.
At this time, only then did they realize how important the point system that the Island had put into place was.
Adel took a deep breath, "Eye Implant 150 points. Basic Archery Knowledge 10 points, Intermediate Archery Knowledge 20 points, Advanced Archery Knowledge 50 points. Tactical Longbow 50 points."
Adel was still a little incredulous at the description of the item he had read just now.
For Archery Knowledge, Adel was neither surprised nor amazed.
But for the Eye Implant, Adel's mouth opened because of his shock.
Eye Implant, a genetically engineered item developed by the Island, has the function to help the user's vision ability to see accurately from a distance of 2km.
Something that is impossible to do with the eyes of an ordinary human. An item that is absolutely possessed by a long range combatant such as Archer, Gunner or Gun Master.
Adel knew that he had to have the item if he wanted to become an Archer, even though the price of Eye Implant was fantastic, 150 points, but that did not stop Adel's interest in having it.
Unlike Adel, Aju had glared towards one of the items that caught his attention.
Berserker Implant.
Like the Eye Implant, the Berserker Implant is also the result of genetic engineering developed by the Island. But, this item has a much different use to Eye Implant.
Berserker Implant, is perfect for pure fighters like Aju. The item had the use of increasing the physical ability of its users to double than before.
If Aju who was previously a fighter with a PA score of 5.0 had a Berserker Implant and activated it, then his physical ability would be 10.0, Aju could not even imagine what his abilities would be like when that happened.
The only drawback that the Berserker Implant had, that increase in ability had a limited duration of time, just one hour. But, Aju knew that the Berserker Implant was like an extra life that he always carried everywhere and would save his life at a critical moment.
Had he had a Berserker Implant while fighting Griffin yesterday, Aju knew that he would have faced the Griffin with a smile.
The price? Only 250 points.
Aju and Adel are silent and fantasizing about their future. Not long after, the sound of a long breath bursting sounded from Adel's mouth and disperse Aju's daydream.
"I need at least 280 points to become an Archer" Adel murmured with a wry smile.
Aju laughed, "Relax, I'll help you. Couldn't Gaju collect more than 70 points in a day? We won't take long to do it either" Aju said.
"Humphs. He's a monster, don't compare us to Gaju" Adel snorted in annoyance.
Aju only grimaced wryly and confused with Adel's answer.
Today the two of them only managed to hunt 2 level 4 and 1 level 5 creation tails.
Adel looked towards the 11-point figure that was seen shining on his mini computer and took a deep breath.
He never felt jealous of the 73 points Gaju had announced by the Island. Because Adel knew, Gaju had a debt of 1000 points that he had to pay off for Tian.
The real points were enough to make anyone the strongest fighter on the Island.
