"Loot?" Rimba responded quizzically.

"I knew it! Here, you do it like this. Loot!" The butcher just laughed and then put his right hand over the rabbit carcasses, showing Rimba how it's done. Suddenly there are a big pile of meat on the table, alongside a stack of rabbit leather and some copper coins.

"That's how you loot the monsters that you killed, you can say or just think loot, collect, or harvest. You can also just say it out loud and every monsters you killed around you will drop their items. Some people prefer to do this so they can just choose the items that they want and left everything else instead of collecting them all." The butcher explained tor Rimba.

"Let's see. There are 42 pieces of meat, 24 piece of rabbit pelts, and 65 coppers. Well, since you already give the rabbit carcasses to me, I will take everything. Thanks young man, here's your reward." Taking advantage of Rimba, the butcher just took everything looted from the 30 rabbit carcasses. He then proceeded to show Rimba how to skin and cut the meat of the rabbit.

Rimba just let go of the loots from the 30 rabbit carcasses, he thought it worth it as exchange for the information and skills, especially the combined skill. +3 Dexterity for each level! Now that he know he can loot and then process the carcasses from his hunt, he believes he will be able to raise the skill steadily. Eager to try his new skill, he ask the butcher if he is allowed to use his table and tools to process his remaining carcasses. He still have 23 rabbit and 6 wolf carcasses in his inventory.

"Go ahead. Here, take this. Consider this as a gift." The butcher point at another table and give Rimba a set of knife, one for skinning and one for cutting the meat. It's the most basic knives, but still better than nothing and it also free, so Rimba is glad.

"Loot." Rimba put his remaining rabbit carcasses and the wolves on the table, to the surprise of the butcher. Rimba gained 40 pieces of meat, 16 rabbit pelts, 4 wolf pelts, 6 pieces of wolf claw and 62 coppers which he keep into his inventory. Rimba then tried his new skill, taking the skinning knife, he recalled the information he received from the butcher's example earlier. His first skinning didn't go well, but starting from the 7th rabbit he already got the hang of it and managed to get an intact pelt from every rabbit carcass. He noticed something different from the rabbit pelts he got through looting, so he try to compare them, but the butcher interrupted him.

"Did you notice it? The quality of the product through looting will at most normal quality, while the worst would be poor quality. The one you get from skinning manually can be damaged or useless, but the quality can reach the highest quality, perfect. The same with the meat or any other products." The butcher explained.
