The Gene Gamer

Chapter 124: Quest

Usually, when major things happened, they were related to the story quests. 

Story quests were the quests of the original game world and were of fair importance. They held the various important events of the world and the rewards were good and unique. Through it, one might be able to acquire unique powers and rise to become a high leveled player.

Their difficulty varies from one another but most of them were hard and required both luck and skills in both obtaining and completing it. 

For example, if you have met a city mayor, you would of course try to obtain a quest from the NPC right? In order to do so, you would have to meet certain requirements. Higher the grade of the quest, less likely for someone to get it. 

The requirements wouldn't be known by the player. The NPC might even decide to pick a loser over a lvl. 100 player because of some certain circumstances. 

So it was purely luck and skills in order for one to obtain a quest. 

Now, in this age of AIs and runes, even more so for a person to acquire a good quest. 

It was likely that each and every one of them was an A.I. that was able to think on its own. Thinking and regarding them as real players wouldn't be much wrong either. 

...

The Blue wolves attacking the Black goblins were of a certain importance so it was likely that it was a story quest or at least related to one. 

The recent rise in strength was suspicious so it might just be related to one. 

But with his current strength, it wasn't possible to do it. He would barely hold his ground against a single lvl. 10 blue wolf and if he were to encounter a long-eared blue wolf, he would be done for. Unless he teamed up with another group of players, he won't be able to complete it. 

It would require a special lvl. 10 expert or a team consisting of 4 or more lvl. 10 players in order to take down a long-eared blue wolf. 

Considering his strength, it was more logical to skip on this matter rather than staying on it. He would gain more selling the information.

Then, what was left to do was equipping his other items before selling the rest of the items in the town. 

...

[Common Robe lvl. 10

Attribute: +2 Intelligence, +1 Agility

Durability: 20/20

Skill: None

Specialty: None

Description: Common robe dropped out of a Blue Wolf.]

[Blue Moon Earring (Uncommon grade) lvl. 10

Attribute: +7 Intelligence, +3 Defense

Durability: 25/25

Skill: None

Specialty: -3s casting time

2 pair set effect: +20 mana

3 pair set effect: +30 mana, Under the Blue Moon (Passive)

Description: Set item dropped out of a Long-eared Blue Wolf]

[Blue Moon Ring (Common grade) lvl. 10

Attribute: +3 Intelligence

Durability: 15/15

Skill: None

Specialty: -1s casting time

2 pair set effect: +20 mana (achieved)

3 pair set effect: +30 mana, Under the Blue Moon (Passive)

Description: Set item dropped out of a Long-eared Blue Wolf]

...

These three were the ones he chose to equip. All of them were good. Thanks to it, his stats went up a lot as well. Besides that, due to all the casting time reductions now he was able to instantaneously fire these Lightning Balls. 

[Intelligence: 45 (+17)

Mana: 55 (+20)]

[Agility: 10 (+1)]

The numbers in the brackets showed the extra stats. Meaning that the intelligence stat along with the extra would equal to 62. A big amount for sure. 

However, his other stats weren't good either. If a blue wolf, even one at lvl. 3 closed in, he will die no matter how powerful he was compared to it. Thankfully, this problem could be solved by defense magic and he exactly knew where to acquire it.

There would be a ton of them in the skill library waiting for him to pick them up. 

Now, once he took care of a few affairs he will be able to leave for the city without worry. Maybe when he gets even stronger, he could try coming back in order to participate in the story quest. 

The first thing he had to take care of was selling the items he got. From the hunt and also from the battle between Liam and the Lightning Wolf, he had acquired a ton of items he didn't need. He could leave the monster cores alone as they might be useful later on but those items definitely needed to be sold. 

He didn't have any use for them after all. 

So he went out and sold all of the items he obtained in the town. 

It sold rather quickly mostly from the fact that they were lvl. 10 equipments. There were even some special ones which attracted some attention. 

He was able to sell them for quite a price leaving him with a total of 10.5 silver coins. With the early 23.5 silver coins and the ones he acquired while hunting, now he had a total of 34 silver coins. If he were to sell the monster cores, it could even rise up to 50 coins. 

Now, the next matter was - quests. 

During his time here in the town, he didn't receive any quests; he just bolted into lvl. 10 so he didn't have the time. So he was planning on getting one while he's at it. One that was related to the city so that he could complete it since he was going to the city regardless. 

...

In the adventurers guild, he scrolled through the quests and didn't find anything that was of interest. He was getting pretty bored now. The only quests available were ones about finding certain herbs and hunting monsters. 

He would've done them if he was low leveled but now, it wasn't useful for him. 

And just as he was watching the screen, a certain quest popped up. 

One that was exactly as he wanted. It was a delivery quest, delivering a letter to a person in the Windwhale city. 

As it had just recently come up, it hadn't been taken by anyone else. Otherwise, people who also wanted to go to the Windwhale city would've taken it instantly.  Fortunately, he was the person taking instead of the person that wasn't able to get it. 

After quickly skipping it and getting the main objectives, he accepted it before going back to his position again. 

..

"Damn it, which bastard took it?" came the irritated voice of a male. All those in the adventurers hall saw the mission. The number of people there wasn't small at all. 

It was nearly fifty people and around 20 of them had the same purpose as Cylius; to get a suitable quest before going to Windwhale city. 

Exactly for this reason, Cylius didn't go out. If he did, he would attract attention. 

Therefore, he stayed still and acted as if he was still searching through the missions. 

Searching through all of the people in the hall, the person that shouted finally gave up after seeing that no one was doing anything out of the norm. 

"Hello, what can I get for you?" sudden asked the demi-beast human that was acting as the waitress around here. She was currently asking for Cylius' orders as he had stayed here for quite a while. She figured that he might need a drink or two.

"No need. I'm going to leave now" said Cylius before leaving the hall. Seeing him leave, some eyes fell on him but eventually, they didn't do anything and let him go.

The last one was acquiring a black robe. By black robe, he meant one that would hide his identity. It was an item that could help hide one's identity. Sometimes, when you want to hide among the crowd, you could wear it. 

It even helped hide red names so it was a very popular item amongst player killers and also players. In some cases, he could wear it and blend into the game.
