ACT 1 Slums
“Huk huk huk, I’ve finished”
“Already?”
The old man looked at Ark with amazed eyes
“It should take at least 4 hours to get to the pier and back Yet you returned froerous e?”
“It sounded urgent so I hurried as much as possible”
“I’ll say this clearly But I honestly didn’t expect that ards to transportation work, there are always se problems In particular, it’s not a surprise to be attacked by thieves or arrison to look for it but it would take many days for theht schedule and is an urgent delivery, I had no choice but to rely on a foreigner”
The oldas he shook his head
“But you’re different froners in this area Even if they accept my request, they would take many hours to do it Since they always receive a lot of coent one first”
“I place customer satisfaction as my top priority”
Although he was breathing hard, Ark tried to make the best impression as possible The old man nodded and said
“I know, I know Even though I doubted you, I never thought that you could find the luggage so quickly It is the first tiner like you Now, this is the reward I’ve promised”
“Thank you very much”
Clink, clink
Ark spoke thankful words but he had tears in his eyes as he saw the coins He had ran around for 1 and a half hours and all he received was 50 silver He could earnjaptem Anyway, an informationappeared after he received the compensation
-You have coe=”” at=”” the=”” pier=””> quest
Compensation: 50 silver, +1000 experience, +7 fame
‘I ran a marathon for one hour only to receive that compensation……’
The old man had a lot of complaints about other users but Ark could understand their feelings If done at a normal pace, the quest would normally take 2 hours No matter ho levelled the area, level 150 users wouldn’t really care about that sort of compensation They would only accept it when there were other quests in that areaSince there were a few quests, the users unconsciously felt like there was no need to rush Soht even become such a nuisance that they would cancel the quest Since the level 366 Ark had co quest, it was natural for the NPC to look favourably upon hiave a more realistic profit
“I’rateful that you sincerely accepted my quest I’ve decided to write a letter of recommendation so that anyone in my business who you encounter will know about the sincere and polite foreigner I have a fairly wide network of acquaintances If you show this recoenerous reward”
The old ave it to him
-You have received additional compensation since the satisfaction of the client has exceeded 100
The old es in transporting baggage froe was unable to be delivered on ti hit Thanks to your sincere work, the old ratitude, this client has provided a bonus compensation You’ve also received a letter of recommendation from a satisfied transporter If you show the letter of recommendation to other transporters then it is possible to receive addition rewards and fame
Additional compensation: 10 silver, +3 fame
Special item ‘Transporter’s letter of recommendation’ acquired
Transporter’s letter of recommendation: If you show it to another transporter then it is possible to receive a higher rank quest In addition, the probability of receiving additional compensation and fame will increase
‘Phew, it is a success!’
Ark sighed with relief as he took the Letter of Recommendation This was the reason why Ark coain, but NPCs gave various types of quests If NPCs spoke about ti out then it was often a quest with a time limit Naturally, if the quest was completed quickly then the NPC’s satisfaction would rise If the degree of satisfaction exceeded 100 then he would receive additional coreat In addition, completion of the quest within 1 hour was needed for satisfaction to go above 100 then considerable effort was needed Therefore a lot of users gave up on satisfaction early If they acted greedily while thinking about consuht inadvertently make a mistake that would lead to death
‘But this is easy to do in a low level area’
That wasn’t a problem for Ark at all
“Chik chik, he serous for some reason!”
There was a more than 150 level difference between Ark and theCiel If he didn’t approach the monsters intentionally then they would avoid hiularly appeared, he was able to settle it easily with a feings of his sword If he rode Radunma to save some time then it was possible to achieve customer satisfaction
“Is there any other problem?”
“You’ve coent problems”
“……Really?”
Ark sighed with regret, causing the old man to smile
“But you don’t have to worry about work because transporters gather here so there is always a number of jobs Ah that re alcohol at the tavern the other day and he said a big headache had occurred If you head to the Twilight bar next to the west gateway and show hiive you a job”
“Thank you for the inforo immediately”
Ark said farewell and stepped towards the west gateway If he worked diligently then he ht be able to receive additional coh he received inforht

“Huh……”
He sighed after checking the informationThe main character informationdisplayed many information aside from stats But now Ark was only concerned with his fa level 150 quests, he only received 60 silver and fame as additional compensation No, he needed 7000 fame in order to learn the secret technique In order to obtain the Entrusted Volurind his fame
“If this is another luggage search then I will feel sick”
Ark shook his head with a disgusted expression The contents of the repetitive quests in Ciel were all similar He only found this out later but Ciel a co So most of the NPCs did transportation work There was even a separate transporters union in the city Most of the sie were commissions from transporters They were all ae back
“Well, I was transporting soe here last time……”
“The items lost in a monster attack? If you tell me the place then I will look for it!”
He had heard those words co from NPCs so many times that he could no reply in his sleep As soon as the quest was received, he accepted it and rode towards the location on Radunma When he arrived at the quest area, he would rush the monsters like crazy Once the monsters were taken care of, he would look for the items
“Chik chik, and you? Did you exter?”
The dyingeyes
‘I don’t want to be here either!’
He really wanted to say that If he completed the quest then he would only receive 30~60 silver as co level 200 kobolds didn’t give any experience He also received no loot The only thing he could get was quest ite to lower levelled areas Therefore Ark repeated one day of hunting without receiving any profit
“Daain more fame”
His circu the quests was really a pity If Ark had been initially interested in fame then he would’ve collected 5000 more by now In some cases, there were options to choose either money or fame as a reward for several quests And of course Ark chose money! If he kneas possible to learn secret techniques then he would’ve chosen 100 fame over 1 silver
“I don’t need fa around!”
In the past, he never iined he would need it
“It’s really crazy Anyway, I have to give up japtem and experience for fame……”
It was a low level village so he had to give up experience and iteave different amounts of fame, it was obvious how much fame he would receive when the quest was repeated In a low level area, he could only repeat the quest and receive compensation and fame a maximum of 10 times But the problem was time It took at least an hour and a half to receive the quest and wander to the area before co back
“I’ve spent 30 hours so far and coave ave an extra 50 faave him 200My current fame is 6025”
In order to earn the required 7000 fame to learn the secret technique, he needed 975200 fa quests
“This Jackson’s Hero title is also irritating”
Thanks to the Jackson’s Hero title, his intimacy with NPCs increased by 30 instead of fa quests, he would receive 30 less fame
“Well, thanks to the high intimacy with the transporters, I eventually made up that lack of fame because of the word of avemore fame”
