Experiment

You had time and needed to figure things out. You could try to develop a skill, or work on what you had.

Opening the inventory screens, you grabbed different pair of socks and focused.

You could send them to your inventory slots.

From there you could swap them for the ones you were wearing.

You practiced a bit and soon could summon things from your Inventory into the backpack you held, or send stuff there from your hands automatically.

The change of clothes would be very useful for swapping out into protective clothing you would get.

OK.

Next was trying to get a skill often used in games: Observe.

Good

Hmm. Maybe the reason it was blanked out before was due to the reward being dependent on the Skill. It also did not count as him grinding it.

The fact you were having it so easy worried you. When you gets rewards this large and fast, it normally meant things were going to go bad just as fast, and you would need everything you had gained!

You used Observe twice more in your room, but stopped when you heard movement in the hallway. Zack was getting his shower
