"What if I go punching things to death?" Vivian mused to herself.


I mean, based on what I've seen in movies, shows and books, a warrior always needs a backup weapon, right...?


Magic is out of the question because of my limited mana...


"Yeah, punching is definitely the best choice..."


She stared down at the corpses of the tiny jumping mushrooms scattered around her.


"But can I kill them with my fists though?"


She thought about her stats.


I have STR 11 (+4), VIT 9 (+1), AGI 12 (+4) and INT 8 (+1)...


I don't know how strong the people in this world are...


But if I were to make an educated guess base it on my own stats, I'm 1.5 now stronger compared to the start...


And I guess I'm also as strong or stronger than my original body...?


She then turned to a tree.


Assuming that to level up my skills all I need to use them on monsters, animals or living beings, a tree is still a living being, right...?


She thought about it for a minute before shaking her head.


"Like hell I can punch a tree to death!"


"The bones on my knuckles will break before I can even make any damage!"


She looked for something smaller and her gaze landed on a small plant.


Bam!


She drove a punch to the ground, flattening the plant.


"I feel stupid..."


"I mean, does this count as killing the plant? I'm merely flattening it. If I really want to kill it, I should pull it out and let it dry."


"But wouldn't that just make me a gardener or farmer?"


She shook her head.


"I still have to try. Better to try than sorry. Who knows, I might discover something."


Vivian then went around punching small plants.


Bam!


Bam!


Bam!

15 minutes later...


Vivian was drenched in sweat. And not only did her lower back ache from bending down, but her knuckles also hurt from punching plants.


"I give up!"


"Even after punching down more than 30 plants, nothing happened!"


"I definitely give up!"


She sat down on a large stone.


"I'm tired, I'm thirsty, I'm hungry and I'm so hot!"


She opened her satchel and took out the water pouch.


Gulp.


Gulp.


After taking a few sips, she put down the water pouch and looked at her leather armor.


"Do I really need this?"


She then recalled those tiny jumping mushrooms.


Tch!
