[Episode 04] Quest Reward (2)

《Party Quest Grant》

Quest Content: Demonstration of awakening ability.

Time limit: 1 hour 00 minutes 00 seconds

Reward: Strengthen your muscles.

Failure Penalty: Sleeping in the hallway.

[Would you like to grant the quest as it is?]

[Yes No]

“Well?”

As soon as the experiment began, something unexpected popped up.

‘Party Quest?’

Rather than assigning quests to Moon Byeong-ho and Kang Deok-soo individually, a system that allows a party to complete a quest emerged.

‘What does that mean?’

In my experience so far, there was no function that appeared without meaning to my ability.

Party quests must have something better than regular quests, but I didn’t know what they were yet.

‘For now, let’s proceed like this.’

If you try this and that, you will also learn the difference between normal quests and party quests.

‘Quest granted.’

Kang Duk-soo looked at the quest window that appeared in front of him and made an expression that he did not know why.

“So Jaehyun-nim, are you saying that I have awakened? Like Donggun?”

“That’s right.”

“A knight of steel. What kind of ability is that?”

“The ability to summon steel armor and halberds.”

“Yes?”

It was then.

“What?!”

Moon Byung-ho appeared out of nowhere in the center of the living room.

He succeeded in using his awakening ability, teleport.

Kang Deok-soo, who witnessed the scene with his own two eyes, froze with rabbit eyes.

Moon Byung-ho slowly looked around and realized that he had teleported.

At the same time, a pleasant notification rang.

[Citizen Moon Byeong-ho’s credibility increases.]

[Citizen Byeong-ho Moon’s loyalty increases.]

He bowed his head towards me and thanked me.

“Thank you thank you!”

Then, suddenly, he went to the window of the living room.

Just by looking at him, I could tell what he was thinking.

I said to him who was very excited.

“Stop.”

“Yeah?”

“It looks like you’re going to Grandma’s house right away, but it’s probably going to be difficult.”

“Why?”

“Mr. Moon Byeong-ho’s ability is an ability that is activated with mental power as a raw material. However, the greater the distance you want to travel and the more people you want to travel with, the more mental strength you need.”

“ah···.”

“Perhaps even if you can see Grandma’s house from here, it’s highly likely that you won’t be able to move at once. In the worst case, you may be transported into thin air.”

If you teleported into empty space, there was only one ending.

Falling.

“So now, the first step is to figure out your own abilities. Start by figuring out what the maximum distance is and how much mental energy is consumed when using the ability.”

“···All right.”

Kang Deok-soo succeeded in using his ability while stopping Moon Byeong-ho’s sudden rash.

Whoops!

A pure white light emanated from his body and took shape in an instant.

Silver armor that surrounds the whole body and a halberd with a fiercely sharp blade.

The Iron Knight appeared there.

“Gee, is it real?”

[Citizen Kang Deok-soo’s credibility increases.]

[Citizen Kang Deok-soo’s loyalty increases.]

At the same time.

[Citizens Moon Byeong-ho and Kang Deok-soo have completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 212,317 won.]

The quest was completed and a little over 200,000 won was drained.

‘It’s like 100,000 won per muscle strengthening session.’

It was a waste, but it was a little comforting to think that I invested in the strength of the two people who could be called the main power.

Anyway, this proves that you can use quest rewards to enhance certain stats.

‘I feel like their stamina and stamina are on the same level. Then, will something like this happen?’

This time, I gave the quest only to Moon Byeong-ho.

《Quest granted》

Quest Content: Using Teleport.

Time limit: 1 hour 00 minutes 00 seconds

Reward: Increased teleport skill.

Failure Penalty: Sleeping in the hallway.

[Would you like to grant the quest as it is?]

[Yes No]

‘It works.’

It seemed possible to raise the proficiency of the ability.

Moon Byeong-ho, who was given the quest, immediately used his abilities and was able to clear the quest without difficulty.

By the way.

[Citizen Byungho Moon has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 70,133 won.]

‘yes?’

Of course, I expected to spend about 100,000 won this time, but the actual cost was only 70,000 won.

It was 30% cheaper than expected.

‘no way?’

instinctively realized.

That there is a correlation between quest content and rewards.

‘The cost can be adjusted according to the contents of the quest!’

I wanted to test this new realization right away.

“Byeong-ho.”

“Yeah?”

“How are you feeling?”

“good.”

“okay?”

I asked, pointing to the apartment across from the living room window.

“Do you think you can use teleport to get there?”

Moon Byeong-ho carefully measured the distance and nodded.

“It seems possible.”

“All right.”

This time, I raised the overall difficulty of the quest.

《Quest granted》

Quest Content: Use teleport to move to the rooftop of Apartment 113.

Time limit: 3 minutes 00 seconds

Reward: Increased teleport skill.

Failure penalty: Sleeping outdoors.

The rooftop of an apartment tens of meters away, a short time of 3 minutes, and even the penalty of sleeping outdoors.

Even though the number was greatly reduced through sheep hunting, the goblins were still infested outside.

Sleeping outdoors was, in effect, a warning not to sleep.

“This···.”

Moon Byeong-ho seemed embarrassed when he realized that the difficulty level had suddenly risen.

I told Moon Byeong-ho with sincerity.

“You must succeed.”

“···Yes.”

Moon Byeong-ho started staring at the rooftop of the apartment across the street with a nervous expression.

‘The eyes of the absolute.’

In the meantime, I was prepared for any contingency.

It was prepared in case Moon Byung-ho’s mental strength was lacking and he appeared in the air.

If something happened, he intended to use the citizen summoning skill to summon him right away.

‘Please succeed.’

About 1 minute passed.

Shush!

Moon Byeong-ho disappeared from our house and appeared on the roof railing of the apartment across the street.

right after that.

[Citizen Byungho Moon has completed the quest.]

“Whew.”

Fortunately, the quest was a success, and the results were much better than expected.

‘There was no cost.’

Perhaps it was because of the increased difficulty of the quest itself, it did not cost anything to strengthen the teleport skill as a reward.

‘Right. Is this the way it is?’

Just before I let go of the strings of tension while watching that scene.

“!!!”

Moon Byeong-ho’s new model, which was standing on the roof railing, staggered.

‘Summon vassal, Moon Byeong-ho!’

Surprised, I immediately used the skill and was able to summon Moon Byeong-ho, who was on the verge of falling off the roof.

Shushuk- Fluff!

‘…it was close.’

It’s a shame because I was preparing in advance, even if it was a little late, it would have been dangerous.

‘I lost my mind.’

Perhaps because he suddenly moved a long distance, he had consumed too much mental energy, and Moon Byeong-ho fainted.

You must have really pushed yourself to the limit.

whispered softly in his ear.

“Thank you for your effort.”

Thanks to this, it was confirmed that rewards could be given without cost if only the details of the quest were adjusted well.

He said to Kang Deok-soo, who was watching from the side, wearing silver armor.

“Could you move Moon Byeong-ho to the sofa?”

“Yes.”

I asked Kang Duk-soo, who laid the fainting Moon Byeong-ho on the sofa.

“Mr. Are you good at sports?”

“Yes?”

Kang Duk-soo tilted his head for a moment, then nodded and said.

“Do some.”

I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing full body armor, but he must be worried.

He smiled softly at him and said.

“Good for you. Just do 100 push-ups and 100 squats. With the armor on, of course.”

“…”

《Quest granted》

Quest Content: Exercising while wearing armor.

-Push-ups (0/100)

-Squat (0/100)

Time limit: 10 minutes 00 seconds

Reward: Strengthen your muscles.

Failure penalty: Sleeping outdoors.

I kindly explained to him who stared blankly at me.

“You won’t have much time. There will be goblins roaming around outside, can you sleep?”

“······uh?”

Only then did Kang Deok-soo realize the seriousness of the situation and start exercising.

Still, Kang Duk-soo, who finished the assignment quickly as he was from the sports club, gasped while kneeling in the living room.

No matter how much he leveled up and his strength and stamina got stronger, it couldn’t be easy to exercise while wearing heavy armor.

[Citizen Deoksu Kang has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 56,149 won.]

‘It’s much cheaper.’

It was almost half the price.

‘Still, it seems that it’s not enough to completely eliminate the cost.’

I wanted to increase the number of times or intensity a little more, but it seemed that Kang Deok-soo would fail the quest.

I said to Kang Deok-soo who was panting.

“I’ll go for one more set.”

Deoksu Kang, who was given the same quest as before, protested with tears in his eyes.

“Do I really have to go out to sleep?”

“Are you sure that’s a bit excessive? I will fix it.”

Failure penalty: 1000 push-ups.

Kang Deok-soo, who saw the newly updated failure penalty, started the exercise without saying anything.

Even though he was trembling, he filled the number step by step.

[Citizen Kang Deok-soo’s loyalty increases.]

‘yes? Why is this going up?’

Loyalty rises

Is this why the military pushes people to their limits?

[Citizen Deoksu Kang has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 39,783 won.]

It was confirmed that the change to the failure penalty was effective, and the quest cost was further reduced.

“I’ll go one more time.”

“Ah!”

Kang Duk-soo carried out the quest with evil and can.

[Citizen Deoksu Kang has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 35,249 won.]

‘It decreased again.’

This time, the cost was reduced even though the conditions were exactly the same as before.

‘No.’

There was one other thing.

‘Because Kang Deok-soo’s condition was different.’

Due to the previous two quests, the body was exhausted.

Trying to carry out the quest in that state would inevitably increase the level of difficulty.

‘I guess I know what it’s like.’

Ultimately, the higher the level of difficulty experienced by the person performing the quest, the better the efficiency of the system.

When Duk-Soo Kang finished all three sets, a notification of new content appeared.

[Citizen Kang Deok-soo has exhausted all available quests today.]

‘Excluding party quests, three times is the maximum.’

If so, I could fully understand why there was a separate party quest.

‘It must have been a system for granting additional quests.’

When the daily quest limit was exhausted, it seemed possible to grant additional quests by granting party quests.

It was a time when I was organizing my thoughts.

[Evaluate the quests performed by citizen Kang Deok-soo.]

‘yes?’

[······ Evaluation ·······]

‘What is this again?’

From the looks of it, it seemed like a time consuming task.

While the work was in progress, he said to Kang Duk-soo.

“You worked hard. You may go to bed now.”

Kang Deok-soo, a man wearing silver-shining body armor and holding a halberd, spoke in a weary voice.

“Thank you for your effort···.”

When I checked the clock, it was already past 1:00 AM.

Since I entered the house a little after 12:00, it was like repeating the assignment and clearing of the quest for almost an hour.

When Kang Deok-soo removed his armor, the thick smell of sweat wafted up here.

He said.

“Excuse me, can I take a shower?”

“Sure. You can use the bathroom over there.”

“thank you.”

The results of the experiment were satisfactory.

‘I gained more than I thought.’

First of all, Moon Byung-ho and Kang Deok-soo were able to clearly recognize and use the ability to awaken.

This means that the power has increased several times.

Especially great was Kang Deok-soo’s ability.

‘It would be possible to carry out operations with a sense of stability much more simply by tanking from the front while wearing armor.’

It was a positive thing in many ways.

The stronger these parties meant the more things they could do.

‘I see hope.’

Perhaps sooner or later we will be able to send them to rescue their families.

‘can do.’

It was then.

[Assessment complete.]

It seemed that the evaluation of the quest Kang Deok-soo had completed was finally over.

[Muscle strength increases slightly.]

‘uh?’

Suddenly, I felt my body lighten up.

‘This···.’

It was clear.

My strength has gone up.

It was probably because Kang Deok-soo’s three daily quests were all focused on increasing his strength.

‘If this happens, the story will be a little different.’

There was a reason to roll the citizens.
