Red could not wait to exchange all the bodies for loot, but he was being patient. He went for the two closest Elite Kobold Fighters first. He got six Mediocre Cores from them, and three of them were Magic Cores, which he needed for his next level up.
Red was about to absorb them, but he stopped himself. He opened his status to check how much he needed to reach the next threshold. He needed 0.4 Intelligence and 2.8 Mind for the next threshold.
A frown formed as he did a mental calculation. The Mediocre Quality Core increased his stats by over 1. The lowest he received from the Mediocre Quality was a 1.4 increase.
He would reach level 12 with these three cores, but he found it was a pity to use them right now. He reached into his Storage Pouch and threw the empty plate and bowl he planned to bring back.
