Chapter 21 Sometimes, It Would Be Awkward If Your Enemy’s Too Weak! (1/2)

”2,400 experience points to go. Luckily, there's no need to complete the [Quest of Glory]. Or else I would not be able to get to Gold tier even if I'm given a few months.”

Joshua looked at his attributes again. After confirming that he did not have to complete the quests that would take an entire to upgrade his rank, he was relieved.

During his previous moments in the game, unless the players reached Level 31 and beyond, the players would need to complete one extremely difficult quest if they wanted to get to Gold tier. The quest had all sort of strange instructions that were quite specific. Players were not allowed to skip the tedious and complicated process of the quest. If the completion of the task was below 75%, the players would fail the quest.

There was nothing much to say about succeeding in completing the quest. However, if the players failed, not only they would be rolled back to level 30, they would also have to wait for a full month before they could attempt the same quest again, which was a lot of time wasted.

2,400 experience points would mean that Joshua had to defeat another four to five Silver-tier warriors to gain that amount of experience points. Truth to be told, that wasn't such a challenge for Joshua. Furthermore, he also had another solution to that problem.

”Adding up the number of patrollers on the streets up to the last Silver-tier guard I killed, I should have killed more than fifty enemies by now. Plus, I'm getting an additional reward of 5,000 experience points for completing the achievement [50 Kills]. So I guess I'll have no problem in leveling up now.”

Attempting to bring up the Achievement tab, Joshua noticed that the system had a minor lag. A few seconds later, the tab finally appeared. He could not help but laugh.

”I can't believe that even after I transmigrated, there are still delays.”

After mocking the system a little, the achievement list was brought up to him. Suddenly, a massive amount of data began to load out right before Joshua's eyes. His achievements were astounding. Joshua scrolled through the long list of achievements that he completed before he located the section [Can be repeated]. Then he selected [Killstreak] on the list to have a look at it.

”Only over 30 kills?”

Joshua furrowed his brows but decided to brush off such a trivial matter.

”It must be because I let one of them live back then. It doesn't matter much. 3,000 experience points are just enough for it.”

At the same time, Ying had stopped looking at the ruins of the mansion or feeling sorry for it. She walked up to Joshua, raised her head to look at her master and asked, ”Master, what do we do next? Do we eliminate all enemies within the city?”

”No need to rush for that.” Joshua shook his head a little and answered, ”They're too scattered around the entire city. Why don't we wait for them to gather first? They'll surely gather in a spot to exchange intel later on. So for now, we rest.”

After that, he found a rock and sat on it. Ying followed suit, right next to him.

Warriors were used to waiting around.

Creak—

Meanwhile, in the nearby neighborhood, one of the residents pushed the door open with care. It was a middle-aged lady. She stuck her head out to observe the situation on the streets.

These people were unaware of the recent happenings in the city. Furthermore, the patrollers and the guards in the city had been switched. The residents could still talk about it because they had not seen the faces of those new warriors and soldiers. Also, the weather was awfully cold which was even more of a reason for the people not to step out of their houses.

Now, people needed to buy some groceries out at the stores. This middle-aged lady had already given up the notion of going out of her house as she decided to ignore whatever was happening out there. However, the explosive sound that just occurred was really different; it was much louder than anything she had heard. So she could not help but take a peek outside.

Lifting her head, she glanced at the area outside her doorstep. After checking that there were no guards or soldiers patrolling around, the middle-aged woman let out a breath and started to observe the surroundings for real.

Moments later, she dropped her jaw at what she saw. She was so shocked that she drew a sharp breath and exclaimed, ”Good heavens...” She covered her mouth with her both hands as she backed up. Her legs buckled, causing her to collapse on the floor.

”The count's mansion… The count's mansion has been—”

”What happened?”

An impatient man's voice was heard from the house. Also, a faint sound of a child who was complaining about being woken up from his or her sleep could be heard.

”Shut the door quick. The cold wind is coming in. Don't let the child freeze!”

”Geez! Just come and have a look, old man!”

She had no time to explain what she saw. She also did not know what words could be used to describe what she was staring at now. With an agitated expression on her face, she barked, ”Quickly! Come here!”

”You foolish woman,” grumbled the man. He guessed that something must have happened out there. So he quickly walked out of the house and pulled his wife up from the ground who was sitting right in front of the doorstep. After that, he narrowed his gaze to focus on observing the surroundings.

Well, after that, he eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He froze momentarily then exclaimed, ”Good grief! Oh my—”
