Chapter 4 (2/2)

Cling!

Bam!

He had slain the rabbit. Kang Joo-ho then received the message.

[Critical Hit!]

You have slain the rabbit with the old iron sword.

Kang Joo-ho opened the quest window and clicked on the quest ‘Rabbit Hunt’ he received from Calam, the guard he met earlier.

<Rabbit Hunting>

Rabbits have bred too much. The number of rabbits has increased to the point that it interferes with the guard’s work, so guard Calam has ordered you to slay them. Kill the rabbit and go to the guard headquarters in ‘Job Square,’ meet ‘Doen’ and deliver Calam’s letter!

[Rabbit: 29 / 30]

[Letter of Column: 1 / 1]

Quest reward: leather armor

“If I catch one more….”

29 out of 30 were caught. Only one left now! he thought, confident that he could do it.

Kang Joo-ho turned his head and looked around. Dozens of users were already hunting rabbits. And users were continually flowing through the gates. If this keeps up, there will be more users than rabbits. If so, the users will compete with each other for resources, slowing down everyone’s progress toward the next quest.

It was then.

Ding!

In front of Kang Joo-ho, the rabbit regenerated and continued to graze in the grass. He lifted his sword and hit it.

Swoosh!

This time it was not a critical hit, so the rabbit began to flee from Kang Joo-ho. However, the injured rabbi was remarkably slow, and Joo-ho could predict where it was going. He chased the rabbit and once again swung his sword.

Swoosh! Cling! Thud.

He collected the rabbit’s body and returned to the gate.

* * *

“Wow, is this a rabbit field? Can we pet the rabbits?”

“I’ll quickly finish this quest!”

“Let’s take our time and look around, and it’s not like we can get special jobs right away.”

“Let’s catch a rabbit.”

Kang Joo-ho, who arrived in front of the castle gate, entered the city while listening to the other users’ conversations. Then he headed straight to the job fair. Soon after getting to the job fair, Kang Joo-ho was able to find the security headquarters immediately without getting lost thanks to the mini-map.

The Guard Headquarters was a five-story building with numerous guards coming and going.

The name of the NPC that he had to meet was ‘Doen.’

“Doen, Doen…” Kang Joo-ho, who entered the guard headquarters, started muttering Doen’s name while looking for him.

Kang Joo-ho, who walked around the first floor, frowned slightly. Are you on the second floor?

The name Doen could not be seen.

Can’t I ask an NPC for directions? Kang Joo-ho felt annoyed.

None of the green text above the help NPC’s heads had Doen written on them.

Then a thought came to his mind. What if Doen isn’t a help NPC?

Eventually, Kang Joo-ho decided to ask a nearby soldier. It was faster to ask an NPC for help than to look for Doen alone.

“Good morning. I’ve been looking for someone called Doen. Do you know where he is?”

“Doen?” The guard said, then nodded, “Do you mean our team leader? You can find his office on the second floor.”

Luckily the soldier knew who he was looking for.

“Thank you.” Kang Joo-ho thanked the guard then proceeded directly to the second floor.

And upon arrival, Kang Joo-ho was able to find Doen. Doen was sitting in front of the table reading documents.

He looks strict.

Kang Joo-ho approached Doen.

“Good morning. Here…” After greeting him, Kang Joo-ho took out a letter from Calam and gave it to him.

“… ?” Doen took the letter with a puzzled look.

[You have completed the quest ‘Rabbit Hunt’.]

And at that moment, the quest was completed.

Doen started reading the letter. Shortly after, he said with a smile, “I planned to deal with the rabbit soon by myself, so I must thank you.”

Doen, who stood up to thank him, asked, “Could you please wait?”

“Sure.”

Upon hearing Kang Joo-ho’s answer, Doen entered the door behind him. It was apparent that he was going to get Kang Joo-ho’s reward.

As predicted, Doen returned with a piece of leather armor. “It’s a reward for helping hunt down the rabbits.”

“Thank you.”

[You have obtained the leather armor.]

After receiving the armor and putting it in the inventory, Kang Joo-ho returned his attention to Doen, awaiting his next quest.

“And…” Doen dimmed, as he opened the desk drawer. It was the next quest.

Doen, who pulled something out of the drawer, and handed it over.

“Here it is.” It was a scroll.

Kang Joo-ho received the scroll.

[You have obtained a job recommendation letter.]

[Quest ‘Finding a job’ was created.]

Doen wrote down his identification on the scroll. “If you need a recommendation for a job, I can help. Have a good adventure,” Doen said with a smile.

It’s over… Kang Joo-ho thought after Doen’s greetings. I said I was gonna finish the tutorial quickly, but I may have gone too fast.

It was said that the tutorial was short, but he expected it to last at least an hour.

“Good-bye.” After answering Doen’s greeting, Kang Joo-ho headed to the first floor.

Soon, users who have finished hunting rabbits will flock one after another. There is no time to delay. Kang Joo-ho, who came out of the security headquarters, confirmed the quest ‘Find a job.’

<Finding a job>

After reaching level 10, get a job with a recommendation letter!

[Level: 6 / 10]

[Job Recommendation: 1 / 1]

Quest reward: ???
