Chapter 2 (1/2)

Less than 10 meters after Reyker walked out of the Novice Village, he immediately saw a white-haired NPC.

Reyker had already forgotten the name of this NPC, but he still remembered the quest very clearly.

As it was a Novice Village mission, in his previous life, Reyker had only seen it on the game forum by chance.

Reyker still remembered that the player who posted this post had the ID “A Psyduck”.

A Psyuck was a player who was not interested in combat, and instead favored collecting information.

In the early stages, he might not have gotten by well, but as the game developed, the use of information came into play.

The value of A Psyduck rose rapidly, and for quite some time, he was extremely popular among players.

From then on, almost all the new players in the game used this quest to level up quickly.

It would be idiotic to refuse to use a faster method if there was one.

It was actually very simple to trigger this quest. One just had to stand within 20 meters of the white-haired NPC and not move. The NPC would take the initiative to approach the player in less than two minutes of the player doing so.

It was less than a minute that Reyker had stood in place before he felt a poke on his back.

“Young man! Do you know how to hunt?”

Reyker turned around and sure enough, he saw the white-haired NPC.

“I’ve learned hunting skills since I was a child. What do you need?”

Reyker went along with the NPC’s words.

“In the north of the village, there is a monster called the jumping frog. Their thigh meat is especially tender. Can you catch 10 of them for me?”

After the NPC finished speaking, Reyker immediately saw the quest notification in front of him.

Quest: The Gluttonous Siouk (chain quest)

Objective: Capture 10 jumping frogs

Requirement: The jumping frogs must be alive

Rewards: 200 EXP, 100 copper coins, item of the next quest

Do you accept the quest? [ Yes ][ No ]

“10 jumping frogs is a piece of cake!”

Reyker agreed to Siouk’s request.

The quest notification immediately indicated that he had accepted the quest.

“Young man, I’ll be waiting for you!”

After saying this, Siouk turned and left.

Before he even took two steps, he had found another player to poke.

“Young man…”

Siouk’s quest was undoubtedly very simple.

The jumping frog that he asked for did not even have a level.

As such, even if Reyker was only at Level 1, he could still easily complete it.

The most important part of this quest was the “item of the next quest” mentioned the quest rewards.

Although the system didn’t show it, Reyker remembered it clearly, the item was a steel-jaw trap that had a special characteristic — paralysis.

With the steel-jaw trap, even if Reyker was currently only in Level 1, he could still go solo against monsters above Level 5.

Fighting monsters above his level would naturally give him a lot of EXP, and with that, his leveling speed would increase.

20 minutes later, Reyker had already completed the quest.

When he returned to the village entrance, he heard Siouk’s voice before he even saw him.

“Young man, it looks like you have completed the quest!”

Although Siouk looked like a frail old man with his bed of white hair, his movements were not slow.

Soon, he arrived at Reyker’s side.

Looking at the ten jumping frogs in Reyker’s hands, his eyes were filled with joy.

Siouk’s attribute was gluttony, and so from his previous experience, it was most likely Siouk’s next quest would still be about food.

“Yes, old Sir!”

Reyker handed the jumping frogs to Siouk.

“Young man, you did well!”

The moment Siouk took the jumping frogs, Reyker immediately saw the quest rewards.

[ Obtained 200 EXP ]

[ Obtained 100 copper coins ]

To obtain the next quest, Reyker immediately responded to Siouk’s praise, “It’s all within my capabilities.”

“Young man, can I ask you for one more thing?”

“Please do, Sir!”

“In the east of the village, there is a kind of rabbit. Their speed is extremely fast, but their thigh meat is also exceptionally fragrant. Can you help me catch 5 of them?”
