No. 28. Shkreken discovered a way to improve his characteristics without investing in expensive equipment. Every morning, when most residents of the Rookie Village were still dreaming about rich loot, he went out for a run. Lap after lap, Shkreken clocked up kilometers around the settlement, strengthening his Endurance.

But physical development is only half the success. To train Memory and Wisdom, Shkreken immersed himself in learning English, memorizing motivational aphorisms. 'The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones,' he muttered, overcoming another uphill.

At first, his morning rituals only evoked surprised looks and mocking smiles from the stalkers. But over time, seeing the rookie's persistence, they began to treat him with growing respect.
