chapter 26
[Episode 06] Construction (3)
When I started supplying arrows in real time, Kim Ga-young fired arrows without a break.
Now, at the right moment, even if you don’t necessarily need support, you can shoot at random.
It was all thanks to the newly created function of the Absolute Eye skill leveling up.
[Multi-tasking]
You can use other skills in the area you are observing with the eyes of the Absolute.
As arrows could be supplied in real time through the shop, Gayoung Kim’s influence doubled.
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[2,100,338 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 19).]
······
······
Notifications of hunting orcs were pouring out like sausages.
It was all Kim Ga-young’s major.
The number of orcs she hunted far exceeded the number of orcs Ha Dong-gun was hunting.
‘…I didn’t expect this much.’
[Citizens Gayoung Kim, Donggun Ha, Duksu Kang, Byeongho Moon, Hyerin Yoo, and Gun Kim have completed the quest.]
[The quest costs 2,332,580 won.]
The quest to hunt 100 Orcs that he had just given was quickly completed.
‘Kim Ga-young is number one in contribution.’
When a party quest was given, the order in which the names appeared was the order in which they contributed to the quest.
In other words, Kim Ga-yeong caught more orcs than Ha Dong-gun.
‘The picture changes like this just by supplying arrows.’
The higher the contribution, the higher the quest reward.
The cost of hunting 100 Orcs was ‘a large amount of experience’.
[Citizen Gayoung Kim’s level has risen.]
‘Five. Level up.’
In the case of vassals, there were two ways to level up.
One is to just use money to level up raw. The method was also simple. All I had to do was press the [+] button next to the vassal’s level.
Usually, this method is not used well, but Kim Ga-young invested 5 million won and raised it to level 25.
It was because the hunting efficiency was very good compared to the awakening of the C-class ability.
Of course, this method will not be used in the future.
It was because I found a way that was more efficient than that.
‘It is possible to level up by raising stats or giving experience as a quest reward.’
Even raising efficiency as a quest reward was much better.
This is how I found out about this.
A few days ago, after finding out that the daily quest additional rewards were quite honey, I gave all my vassals three daily quests and completed them.
But on the second day, to be exact, it was when Hyungjun Choi completed the fifth strength quest.
Suddenly, this alarm popped up.
[Citizen Hyungjun Choi’s level has risen.]
When I checked, Choi Hyungjun’s level had actually risen to 21.
‘If you level up with raw money, it costs 1 million won, but if you use the quest grant, you can level up in five or six times.’
If the ability level was increased as a quest reward, the pure cost would be about 100,000 won.
Here, the cost will decrease according to the difficulty or content of the quest.
In the end, through the granting of quests, Choi Hyung-jun was leveled up with less than 300,000 won.
The $100,000 was reduced to $300,000.
Of course, starting at level 25, it gets a little tough.
From level 25 to level 30, it takes a lot of money to level up, so it usually takes a long time to grow through quest rewards.
To fill the value of 10 million won, you’d have to complete the quest at least 100 times.
However, through various experiments, a way to shorten the time was found.
The method was very simple.
‘Just give me a better quest reward.’
Like this party quest, you can stake a ‘massive’ experience as a quest reward.
Then, it will cost some money, but you can see the effect as soon as you do now.
‘Besides, it only cost 2 million won.’
This time, Ha Dong-gun’s party earned about 250 million by hunting down 100 orcs.
To be honest, it was not a waste at all even if I invested about 2 million won.
Because it was producing several times the efficiency of the money spent.
“Give me the party quest with the same content. Hunt 100 Orcs.”
I was willing to invest more, but unfortunately that was not possible.
‘Now this is the best.’
I experimented with modifiers such as enormous, many, and enormous, but all of them were only converted to ‘a large amount’ and used.
So, for now, ‘large amount of experience’ is the best.
Setting the quest reward as ‘Experience’ also had another advantage, which was that the increasing specs were different depending on those who acquired experience.
In the case of Gayoung Kim, her visual acuity and agility increased, and in the case of Donggun Ha, her strength and stamina increased rapidly.
Even without specifying each one, the most necessary stats for each person tended to increase.
So now, unless there was a special reason, experience was being adopted as a quest reward.
‘It’s a pity that the only skills that can be used in multi-tasking are shops and warehouses.’
Had he been able to use his invisible hand, he would have sent Ha Dong-gun’s party to Nambu Min-dong right away.
It was a power that easily subdued the level 28 enemy.
Most monsters can be subdued with just the invisible hand.
However, I couldn’t use the invisible hand because it was a skill that grew from my body.
‘Still, I can see hope.’
The distance from here to the main house is about 10km.
It was a distance that could be reached in about 3 hours on foot.
Nevertheless, the reason for not giving them the quest to save their parents was simple.
sreuk
After giving Gayoung Kim plenty of arrows, she moved the viewpoint of the absolute eye to the rooftop.
‘·······.’
The top of a high-rise apartment building built on the mountainside.
You can see quite far as you look from a high place.
Thanks to this, Seomyeon could be seen at a glance.
Seomyeon, one of Busan’s leading downtown areas, was a lively place with colorful lights shining at night, high buildings clustered close to each other, and young people gathering, befitting its reputation.
But now.
‘It’s disastrous.’
It was a place full of death, let alone life.
The word hell is not enough.
Strange creatures were moving instead of cars on the road, which was usually full of cars, and black smoke was rising from the buildings.
smashed glass windows.
A building with a hollowed out side.
Even a high-rise building lying on its side, charred as if it had been exploded.
Even if the war broke out, it seemed to be in better condition than this.
aww
I know.
In this damn world, the chances of your family surviving are close to zero.
‘I have to hurry.’
Even so, I can’t give up hope, if I don’t do this, if I don’t believe that my parents are alive.
‘There is no time.’
It feels like it will collapse any moment.
‘Shall we at least have a party for Ha Dong-gun?’
Three days ago, Kim Gun met the requirements for vassal registration and succeeded in making Ha Dong-gun’s entire party a vassal.
『Name: Kim Gun (Lv. 22) [+]
Title: [Seventh Servant]
Reliability: 59 Loyalty: 33
Awakening Ability: Crow Ministry
★Quest given 』
In addition, the skill gained by Kim Gun was a C-class skill that commanded crows and was useful for reconnaissance.
Gun Kim also played a big role in starting to scout Ha Dong-gun’s party out of the apartment.
‘no. After all, the combination must be fully equipped and sent.’
The combination I wanted was to have Oh Eon-ju, a powerful bruiser, and Kim Da-jeong, a healer, join Ha Dong-gun’s party.
Unfortunately, however, he was still unable to win Oh Eon-joo’s heart.
『Name: Eonju Oh (Lv. 33)
Reliability: 51 Loyalty: 12
Awakening Ability: Wear Bear
EXP distribution rate: 70%
Settlement amount distribution rate: 30%
★Quest Grant Exit』
In the case of Oh Eon-joo, loyalty did not rise.
‘Kim Da-jeong finished registering as a vassal right away.’
Da-jung Kim, whose reliability rose quickly from the first meeting, quickly opened her loyalty, and her loyalty exceeded 30 from the first opening.
Thanks to that, I was able to register as a member right away, and the results were good.
『Name: Dajeong Kim (Lv. 30) [+]
Title: [Eighth Servant] [Knight] [Priest]
Reliability: 70 Loyalty: 63
Awakening Ability: Heal, Blessing, Magic Armor
EXP distribution rate: 100%
★Quest given 』
Blessing (Rank A)
Consumes mental power to temporarily increase the target’s physical abilities by 70%.
Magic Armor (B Grade)
Consumes mental power to create magic armor that protects the target.
A whopping 2 additional skills were awakened.
It was the reason I tried to get Kim Da-jung to join.
If you just give Ha Dong-gun a blessing and a magic armor, you will be able to overwhelm most monsters.
‘Certainly, the efficiency of people with awakening abilities from the beginning is overwhelmingly good.’
It was the reason why I was trying to make Oh Eon-joo a vassal no matter what.
Oh Eon-joo was a capable person who had awakened an A-class ability.
It was clear that registering her as a vassal would bring good results.
If Oh Eon-ju, who became a vassal, joined Ha Dong-gun’s party, going to his home, which is about 10 km away from here, could have been a piece of cake.
‘Is there any way to increase Owen’s loyalty?’
The reason why I was so obsessed with registration was to be prepared in case something happened.
If all the dispatched party members were vassals, it would have been enough to use vassal summons no matter what happened.
I didn’t want anyone to die.
‘As expected, there is no other way to increase Oeonju’s loyalty.’
It was then.
[Citizen Oh Eon-ju has completed the quest.]
It was the notification I had been waiting for.
The quest to hunt 100 goblins had been completed.
Since it was already the second quest, it means that they have hunted 200 animals in one day.
Her obsession with goblins remained.
‘The last quest of the day…’
Even if it wasn’t, Ha Dong-gun’s performance in the party made his wallet quite thick.
A whopping 370 million won was piled up in his wallet.
It is still growing in real time.
Maybe it was possible.
‘Quest reward, son’s resurrection.’
The contents were set to rescue my parents in Nambu Min-dong.
however.
[Insufficient cash to pay (Quest Reward: Resurrection).]
[Please try again after increasing your cash balance.]
As if nothing had happened, a notification appeared right away.
‘···Hmm.’
This much was already expected.
‘Let’s raise the quest difficulty as much as possible.’
The important thing was to show Oh Eon-joo the possibility of resurrection.
‘Quest details, hunting monsters over level 40.’
He hadn’t even hunted level 30 monsters yet.
At level 40, of course, it will be incredibly powerful and the rewards will be huge.
Hunting such a bastard was the condition, so the difficulty of the quest was already hell.
Add to that.
‘Time limit 24 hours.’
It was difficult just to find a level 40 monster right away.
However, it would be even more difficult to find such a monster in one day.
‘The penalty is…’
It was true that I was a little hesitant to set this up.
No matter how much I could cancel the quest midway through, the content alone was enough to make me uncomfortable.
If you do something wrong, the trust you have built up may be destroyed.
Even so.
‘Showing her potential is the first thing.’
Only then will Oeonju’s loyalty increase.
‘The penalty is death.’
This was the most extreme quest content I could think of at this point.
Tring!
[Insufficient cash to pay (Quest Reward: Resurrection).]
[Please try again after increasing your cash balance.]
But nothing changed.
‘About 400 million is not even close.’
It was somewhat expected.
Because human life was not something light that could only be returned to hundreds of millions of dollars.
This was a pretty important issue for me too.
As soon as I saw the resurrection function, in the worst case, I was also assuming that I would save the lives of my family.
“…Huh.”
It was then.
[You hunted an Orc (Lv. 18).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[Won 2,788,221 has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
Even now, Ha Dong-gun’s party was still hunting orcs.
Suddenly, the party quest given to them came to mind.
And.
“ah···?”
Realized an important fact.
‘If this!’
applied it right away.
‘Quest reward, the day of my son’s resurrection!’
And.
Tring!
《Quest granted》
Quest Content: Hunt monsters over level 40 (0/1)
Time limit: 24 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds
Reward: The day of his son’s resurrection.
Failure penalty: death.
[Would you like to grant the quest as it is?]
[Yes No]
do.
This meant that if the resurrection time was limited to one day, it could be solved within the range of 400 million.
‘Is Oh Eon-joo worth investing 400 million won?’
I didn’t even have to think long.
Because the value of A-rank skills was clear.
Even registering an Awakener as a vassal brings a triple efficiency.
‘Moreover, assuming you’re hunting level 40 or higher monsters…’
Monsters that are not even level 30 right now spit out close to 100 million won.
A monster with a higher level would definitely make more money.
‘First, I’ll make Oh Eon-joo on my side.’
Barely, showing only hope.
You could even call it selfish.
You could say it’s like a devil.
Because saving my family was more important to me than those things.
“Grant the quest.”
and after a few minutes
To-do-do-do-
I felt something militantly climbing the stairs.
It ran straight to the front door of our house and knocked on the door.
coo-!
Rather than knocking, it would be more appropriate to say that the body was slammed.
Over the front door, the urgent voice of Oh Eon-joo was heard.
“excuse me! door! Please open the door! Jaehyun!”
clap
When the door opened, she hurriedly entered the front door.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”
Oh Eon-joo looked straight at me, who was waiting in front of the front door, and asked.
“This, this…!”
“you’re right. There is a time limit, but it seems possible.”
“Huh-! thank you One day, even one day is fine. If only I could see my son…”
Oh Eon-joo sat down as if he were about to collapse.
[Citizen Owenju’s loyalty has exceeded 30.]
[Citizen Oh Eon-joo has met the conditions for vassal registration.]
