Chapter 28 (1/2)
“Hey! You came!”
Jake ran out through the crowd of people that were gathered like clouds in front of the large stall Vulcan said in a grumpy way,
“Were you waiting forfor items?”
“Of course, the items!”
“Still, I’ Can’t you act like you care?”
“Of course, I will But why did it take you 5 days to co so long Ah, I will take items first”
“You were not listening to me carefully just noere you?”
Vulcan calreed for the items
“I have a few things I want to ask you as well So, I know it is a little early, but let’s go to the pub Well, if you want to run your shop for a little while longer, I could wait”
“Really? In that case, please wait just 10 o with you”
Jake returned to the stall and labeled prices on all ite a 10 discount, many of the customers were happy to pay
The items on the stall were all sold out at an instant Jake wrapped things up and stood next to Vulcan
“Now, let's get going”
“ Is it okay to sell everything so carelessly like that?”
“Actually, they were all just leftovers after selling all of the high-end products Hurry Let's get going”
With Jake urging Vulcan to hurry up, the tent to the pub Watching Jake having a hard ti the pub’s door, Vulcan said,
“Mr Jake, it looks like you have no intention of ever leveling up”
“Ugh Do they ever think about ht As forI leveled up to where I a a pretty good living, so it doesn't matter anymore”
“Do you ever think about going back to your home world?”
“Did I never tell you?I was an orphan Even if I go back, I don't know anyone there, so what is the point? I am comfortable here”
Vulcan nodded He could understand Jake
The pub was rather empty at this hour Jake found a table and said,
“All right First let's check the items”
“That is… How could we do that here? They will fill up the entire pub”
“You have that many?”
“In the abandoned dungeon, I cleared out everything fro to the end”
Jake sprang up from his chair
Because he did it in such a hurry, his chair got knocked over the floor with a loud noise
“You, by chance, did you complete the quest already?”
“Yes Why are you so surprised?”
Jake was at a loss for words for a while, but soon he s and said,
“Now that I think about it, you were able to hunt in the south field when you were not even at level 200 Now you're at level 304, so it is very possible What was the boss’s level?”
“It was 400”
“Wow, your level is at the First-Rate range, but your abilities are already at the Zenith-Rate”
Impressed, Jake said as he sat back down
Vulcan felt that it was enough for the introductionHe started to talk about the main part
”That is why I around now”
”Already?You're not even at level 350 yet Why don't you just stay there for the ti?”
”I can feel thatdown Even if there are a lot of monsters, there is a liate side's plain-field”
”Certainly, if you got what it takes, the north gate's side is better than the abandoned dungeon”
Jake was holding his chin with his handIt looked like he was corounds
Interrupting his train of thoughts, Vulcan asked a question
”Is there a good hunting ground somewhere?”
”What?”
”Is there another place sieon?Please tell me”
Jake cringed
”Hey You think places like that are common? Most people don't even know that such places even existI knew that one place because I'eable”
”So what you're saying is, you don't know any other place”
”That is rightAs you said, just go to the north gate field and hunt there”
Vulcan felt genuinely disappointed A sigh came out automatically
It was because Vulcan no for certain how i up
'If I hunt on a plain field, would I have been able to get to level 300 so fast?'
Vulcan shook his head It would have been absolutely impossible
Besides that, there were ed him
North gate field was an open environment where anybody could interfere in his battles
Because Vulcan had enemies called Players Alliance, this factor made him very uncomfortable
‘Well, actually, as I am now, I think I should be able to face them alone and beat them all’
Still, it was better to avoid dangers that could be avoided
Although Vulcan soot excited and acted recklessly, he usually preferred to go about his business without risk
“I don’t have the infor that I can tell you about so else”
It intrigued Vulcan In silence, Vulcan looked at Jake
“You, did you know that there is a ranking in Beloong City?”
“This place is full of people who only fight whole day long, so I figured they like ranking ast themselves”
“That’s right Actually, about half of what people usually talk about in the pub are about ranking”
“I don’t care about such a thing”
“Really? Although you are in the ranking?”
After hearing unexpected news, Vulcan leaned toward Jake
“I didn’t do anything What did I do to ? I have been cooped up in the dungeon and hunting all this time”
“Didn’t do anything? Was it Beruneru beat the crap out of the Players Alliance?”
“Um…”
Certainly, that was a big incident
However, Vulcan still could not believe it
“Even if Uruo is the leader of Players Alliance, he is the top dog of a group that isn’t even acknowledged as a real faction It is odd that I a It looked like they only select about a hundred people for the ranking”
“You are rather cal, they pu about it”
“If I did, I would just get hts with ?”
“Let me explain that”
Before anyone realized, Filder was standing besides the two and joined the conversation
“Ah, Mr Filder It has been a long time”
“It certainly has I have barely seen you in the past half a year Did you just return fro in isolation somewhere?”
“Well… So like that By the way, about the explanation…”
Filder sently It had been a while since Vulcan saw Filder’s smile Vulcan felt relaxed
“Beloong City’s ranking is divided into two The first one is the Golden Ranking, which ranks the strongest of all residents in Beloong City The second one is for those who have been in the city for less than 10 years It is called the Rookie Ranking”
“Ah, in that case, the ranking I belong to is…”
“It is the Rookie Ranking”
In the past, Vulcan was not interested in ranking plays, but after talking about it for so long, he could not help but to be interested
Vulcan was about to ask additional questions about the ranking, but Filder pointed his finger toward the middle of the pub
A square shaped crystal glowing in green light could be seen
“The explanation will get too long if I explained it to you one step at a time For now, please take a look at that crystal”
“What is that crystal… Is it not just a decoration?”
“It is called Wiki Crystal If you touch the crystal with your hand and gently input mana, you could see all kinds of infor it to you in words, it would be probably quicker to understand if you just tried it”
