Chapter 74 - Jeremy And The Crystal (1) (2/2)
Then Joshua, who had kept quiet earlier, suddenly said words filled with gratitude towards Jeremy,
”Speaking of which, I would like to say thank you for the help earlier. If it were not for your perfect timing, William would have died. Like that, I will also lose one of my brothers.”
”Nah, it's okay. Don't think too much.”
Jeremy replied with a charming smile, but his thoughts were otherwise entirely,
'I just did it for SP, not helping you guys.'
”Alright, what's next?” Jeremy suddenly asked the three.
”Hmm?”
”What?”
”...”
With three different reactions, the three got perplexed by Jeremy's sudden question.
When Jeremy saw that, he could only elaborate further,
”I implied that what would you guys do next as the fight had just ended?”
After hearing Jeremy's elaboration, Lucas said while pointing his finger towards the right back corner of the chamber, ”Ohh... We will group up over there.”
”I see... What would you guys think if I wanted to attend it too?” Jeremy asked, trying to be polite.
Well, if he wanted to attend the meeting, who would dare prevent him, the great savior, anyway?
”That's doable...” Said Lucas.
”Eddie and Mitchell will be glad.” Said Bob gleefully.
”Alright, I will go and notify Mitchell and Eddie about your arrival and intention of joining the meeting.” Replied Joshua.
Upon hearing the three's consents, Jeremy cut the chit-chat and bid them farewell,
”Good then. I will go check the Crystal first. See you guys at the gathering.”
With a slight wave of his left hand as a farewell sign, Jeremy proceeded towards the big green Survival Crystal floating silently at the tutorial chamber's centermost part.
He intended to buy more skills...
While walking towards the Crystal, many pairs of eyes from all around were shifted at him occasionally.
Indeed, Jeremy was born destined to attract attention, no matter where he went...
Well, attention usually came along with troublesome issues, so Jeremy didn't quite appreciate such attention in any way.
But for now, it couldn't be helped...
Maybe on Ortus, but not here and now...
After a short while, Jeremy finally arrived at the beautiful, floating, green Crystal...
'Hmm... Let's see if those expensive skills have been bought already or not. After all, it's already been 42 hours since everyone was kidnapped here.'
With those thoughts in mind, Jeremy finally reached the Crystal and was seen to be touching it...
Soon, a transparent window popped up like always...
...
[Shop]
[Mission]
[Leaderboard]
...
After seeing those three options, Jeremy intended to check the [Mission] option first because if he wanted to buy the skills within the [Shop] option, he still had to come out and report the missions to get the SP before he could buy them anyway.
Thus, Jeremy chose [Mission] option as his first entry...
...
[Would you like to report the missions and claim the rewards for completing them?]
[Yes │ No]
...
When Jeremy saw the same old notifications asking him whether he wanted to report the missions or not, he obviously chose 'Yes' to receive the long-awaiting hard-earned rewards.
...
[You have received 800 SP for completing the mission, 'Kill 10 imps']
[You have received 1,000 SP for completing the mission, 'Kill 5 wolves']
[You have received 4,900 SP for completing the mission, 'Pass the normal-difficulty door']
