[Episode 04] Quest Reward (2)
《Party Quest Grant》
Quest content: Demonstrating awakening abilities.
Time limit: 1 hour 00 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Increased muscle strength.
Failure Penalty: Sleeping in the Hallway.
[Do you want to grant the quest like this??]
[Yes No]
“hmm?”
As soon as I started the experiment, something unexpected came out..
‘party quest?’
Instead of giving quests to Byeong-ho Moon and Deok-soo Kang individually, a system emerged that allowed people to form a party and perform quests..
‘What does it mean??’
From my experience so far, there have been no functions that appeared without meaning in my abilities..
There must be something better about party quests than regular quests, but I don't know what those are yet..
‘Let's proceed like this for now..’
If you try this and that, you will learn about the differences between normal quests and party quests..
‘Quest Grant.’
Kang Deok-su looked at the quest window that appeared in front of him and made an expression of confusion..
“So Jaehyun, what you’re saying is that I’ve awakened, right? Like Dong-gun?”
“That's right.”
“A knight of steel. What kind of ability is that??”
“Ability to summon steel armor and halberd.”
“yes?”
It was then.
shoo shoo
“Ugh?!”
Byungho Moon suddenly appeared in the center of the living room..
He succeeded in using the awakening ability, teleportation..
Kang Deok-soo, who saw this with his own eyes, froze with his eyes wide open..
Moon Byeong-ho slowly looked around and soon realized that he had teleported..
At the same time, a pleasant notification rang..
[Citizen Moon Byeong-ho’s trust increases..]
[Citizen Byungho Moon’s loyalty increases..]
He bowed his head towards me and expressed his gratitude..
“Thank you thank you!”
Then suddenly he approaches the living room window..
Just by looking at it, I could tell what he was thinking and acting like that..
I spoke to him who was very excited..
“stop.”
“yes?”
“I think I'm going straight to grandma's house, but it's probably going to be difficult..”
“Why??”
“Byung-ho Moon's ability is an ability that is activated using mental power as a raw material. However, the farther the distance you want to travel and the more people you want to move with, the more mental power is required..”
“ah···.”
“Even if you can see your grandmother's house from here, there is a high possibility that you won't be able to move there at once. In the worst case scenario, she may end up moving into thin air..”
If you were to be teleported into empty space, there was only one ending..
fall.
“So now, the first thing to do is to understand your own abilities. Start by figuring out what the maximum travel distance is and how much mental power is consumed when using the ability..”
“···All right.”
While stopping Moon Byung-ho's sudden advance, Kang Deok-soo also succeeded in using his abilities..
Ugh!
Pure white light emanated from his body and took shape in an instant..
Silver armor surrounding the entire body and a fiercely sharp halberd.
The steel knight appeared there.
“Oh, it really works?”
[Citizen Kang Deok-soo’s trustworthiness increases..]
[Citizen Kang Deok-su’s loyalty increases..]
at the same time.
[Citizens Moon Byeong-ho and Kang Deok-su completed the quest..]
[The quest costs 212,317 won..]
When the quest was completed, a little over 200,000 won was taken away..
‘Is it about 100,000 won per strength training session?.’
Although it was a waste, it was a little comforting to think that we had invested in the strength of the two people who could be said to be the main force..
Anyway, this proves that it is possible to strengthen certain abilities using quest rewards..
‘I feel like our endurance and stamina are at a similar level. Then will something like this happen??’
This time, I gave the quest only to Moon Byeong-ho..
《Quest Grant》
Quest content: Using teleportation.
Time limit: 1 hour 00 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Enhanced teleportation proficiency.
Failure Penalty: Sleeping in the Hallway.
[Do you want to grant the quest like this??]
[Yes No]
‘It works.’
It seemed possible to increase the proficiency of the ability..
Moon Byeong-ho, who was given the quest, used his abilities right away and was able to clear the quest without difficulty..
however.
[Citizen Byungho Moon completed the quest..]
[The quest costs 70,133 won..]
‘huh?’
Of course, I expected that about 100,000 won would be spent this time, but the actual cost was only 70,000 won..
The price was 30% cheaper than expected..
‘no way?’
I realized it instinctively.
There is a correlation between quest content and rewards..
‘You can adjust the cost depending on the quest content.!’
I wanted to immediately experiment with my newly discovered facts..
“Mr. Byeongho.”
“yes?”
“How are you feeling??”
“great.”
“is it so?”
I asked, pointing to the apartment across the street outside the living room window..
“Do you think you can use teleport to go there??”
Byungho Moon carefully measured the distance and nodded..
“I think it's possible.”
“All right.”
This time, I increased the overall difficulty of the quest..
《Quest Grant》
Quest content: Use teleport to move to the rooftop of Apartment Building 113..
Time limit: 3 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Enhanced teleportation proficiency.
Failure Penalty: Sleeping Outdoors.
Apartment rooftop dozens of meters away, only 3 minutes, and even the penalty of sleeping outdoors.
Although the numbers were greatly reduced through hunting, there were still goblins swarming outside..
Sleeping outdoors was essentially the same as saying not to sleep..
“This···.”
Moon Byeong-ho seemed embarrassed when he realized that the difficulty level had suddenly increased..
I spoke to Moon Byeong-ho with all my sincerity..
“You must succeed.”
“···yes.”
Moon Byeong-ho began glaring at the rooftop of the apartment across the street with a nervous expression..
‘eyes of the absolute.’
In the meantime, I prepared for any emergency..
This was in case Moon Byeong-ho's mental strength was insufficient and he appeared in the air..
If something happened, I planned to immediately use the citizen summoning skill to summon him..
‘please succeed.’
1About a minute has passed.
shoo shoo!
Byungho Moon disappeared from my house and appeared on the rooftop railing of the apartment across the street..
right after that.
[Citizen Byungho Moon completed the quest..]
“Phew.”
Fortunately, the quest was successful, and the results were much better than expected..
‘There was no cost.’
Is it because the quest difficulty itself was increased? There was no cost to strengthen teleportation proficiency as a reward..
‘Right. Is this the way it is?.’
Just before I let go of the tension I saw,.
“!!!”
Moon Byung-ho's new model, which was standing on the rooftop railing, stumbled..
‘Summoning a vassal, Byeongho Moon!’
Surprised, I immediately used the skill and was soon able to bring back Moon Byeong-ho, who was about to fall from the rooftop..
Shush - fluff!
‘···It was close..’
It's a shame because I was preparing in advance, it would have been dangerous if I had been just a little bit late..
‘I lost my mind.’
Perhaps he had consumed too much mental power due to suddenly moving a long distance, and Byeong-ho Moon fainted..
I guess he really pushed himself to the limit..
I whispered softly in his ear.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Thanks to this, we were able to confirm that rewards can be given without cost if the quest details are carefully controlled..
He spoke to Kang Deok-su, who was watching blankly next to him wearing silver armor..
“Mr. Byungho Moon, could you please move him to the sofa??”
“yes.”
asked Kang Deok-su, who was laying the unconscious Byeong-ho Moon on the sofa..
“Mr. Deoksu. Are you good at exercising??”
“yes?”
Deoksu Kang tilted his head for a moment, then nodded and said..
“I need to do something.”
I couldn't see his face because he was wearing full body armor, but I guess he was anxious..
I smiled softly at him and said,.
“Good for you. Just do 100 push-ups and 100 squats. With armor on, of course..”
“······.”
《Quest Grant》
Quest content: Exercising while wearing armor.
-push-ups (0/100)
-squat (0/100)
Time limit: 10 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: Increased muscle strength.
Failure Penalty: Sleeping Outdoors.
I kindly explained it to the person who was staring at me blankly..
“You probably don't have much time. There will be goblins running around outside, can I sleep??”
“······uh?”
Only then did Kang Deok-soo realize the seriousness of the situation and start a movement..
Still, Kang Deok-su, who completed the task quickly as expected from a sports team member, knelt in the living room and was panting..
No matter how much I leveled up and became stronger in strength and stamina, there was no way it would be easy to exercise while wearing heavy armor..
[Citizen Kang Deok-su completed the quest..]
[The quest costs 56,149 won..]
‘It's much cheaper.’
It was almost half price..
‘Still, I don't think it's enough to completely eliminate the cost..’
I wanted to increase the number of times and intensity, but I felt like Deoksu Kang would fail the quest if I did that..
He spoke to Kang Deok-su, who was panting..
“I'll go for one more set..”
Kang Deok-soo, who was given the same quest as before, protested with a tearful expression on his face..
“Do I really have to go out and sleep??”
“Surely that's a bit excessive? I'll fix it for you.”
Failure penalty: 1000 push-ups.
Kang Deok-soo, who saw the newly updated failure penalty, started exercising without saying anything..
Even though he was trembling, he gradually completed the number of repetitions..
[Citizen Kang Deok-su’s loyalty increases..]
‘huh? Why is this going up??’
Loyalty is rising.
Is this why the military pushes people to their limits?.
[Citizen Kang Deok-su completed the quest..]
[The quest costs 39,783 won..]
It was confirmed that changing the failure penalty was effective and that the quest cost was further reduced..
“I'll go just one more time.”
“Ouch!”
Kang Deok-su performed the quest with evil and brute force..
[Citizen Kang Deok-su completed the quest..]
[The quest costs 35,249 won..]
‘decreased again.’
This time, the cost was reduced even though the conditions were exactly the same as before..
‘No.’
There was one thing different..
‘Because Kang Deok-soo’s condition was different..’
My body was extremely exhausted due to the previous two quests..
If you try to perform the quest in that state, the difficulty level will inevitably increase..
‘I pretty much know how it goes..’
Ultimately, the higher the level of difficulty perceived by the person performing the quest, the more efficient the system becomes..
When Deoksu Kang finished all three sets, a notification with new content appeared..
[Citizen Kang Deok-soo has used up all of the quests available for today..]
‘Excluding party quests, is three the maximum?.’
If so, I could fully understand why there were separate party quests..
‘It was a system for granting additional quests..’
It seemed possible to grant additional quests by granting party quests when the daily quest limit was exhausted..
It was a time when I was organizing my thoughts..
[Citizen Kang Deok-su evaluates the quests he has performed..]
‘huh?’
[······ Evaluating ······]
‘What is this again??’
From the looks of it, it seemed like a task that would take some time..
While the work was in progress, I spoke to Deoksu Kang..
“Thank you for your hard work. You can go to sleep now..”
Kang Deok-su, a man wearing silver-shining full-body armor and holding a halberd, spoke in a tired voice..
“Thank you for your effort···.”
I checked the clock and it was already past 1 am..
12I came into the house a little after midnight, so I had been giving and clearing quests repeatedly for almost an hour..
When Kang Deok-soo took off his armor, a strong smell of sweat wafted up to here..
He said.
“Excuse me, can I take a shower??”
“Sure. You can use the bathroom over there..”
“thank you.”
After experimenting with this and that, the results were satisfactory..
‘I gained more than I expected.’
First of all, Byung-ho Moon and Deok-soo Kang were able to clearly recognize and use their awakening abilities..
This increased the power several times..
What was especially great was Kang Deok-soo’s ability..
‘Just by tanking from the front while wearing armor, you will be able to carry out operations with greater stability..’
It was a positive thing in many ways..
Because this party becoming stronger meant that there was more they could do..
‘there is hope.’
Maybe soon I will be able to send them and save my family..
‘can do.’
It was then.
[Assessment complete.]
It seemed like the evaluation of Kang Deok-soo's quest was finally over..
[Strength increases slightly.]
‘uh?’
I suddenly felt lighter..
‘This···.’
It was clear.
My strength has increased.
This probably happened because Kang Deok-soo's three daily quests were all focused on increasing strength..
‘This makes the story a little different..’
There has been a justification for driving the citizens..
