[Please gratute TEAM TMMB pleting the first
Immediately otion broke out among the pyers.
“The first unique quest?”
“Damn! I haven’t even received a normal quest yet!”
“I heard one get a unique quest outside our vilge. Many people are w on it right now!”
“gratutions to the brave team!”
Curses and gratutory words intermixed.
Ba Prento, three figures stood oown square. A handsome, blond man wore an ugly face as he read the annou.
“B*stard! I won’t fet this!”
Meanwhile, the party members received another notification.
[Aplished achievement: Even a blind newbie finds a quest.]
[Received title: Problem solver]
[Effect: Charisma +2]
[The people of aboul begin to entrust you with their problems. Don’t disappoint them.]
Cye wore a giddy smile, feeling like a pro gamer.
But Silver Bde felt somewhat uneasy. She finally mao get everyoo move on.
The party chatted leisurely as they tinued on the road. Soon, they passed old man Meyhran again, exging friendly nods without stopping.
But at this moment Talin and Malin exged strange gnces.
“Guys, thank you for everything but I have a quest in another dire. Let’s separate here.”
“Yeah, sorry, I will help my brother.”
Silver Bde and Cye showed some surprise but naturally didn’t want to hold the others back.
“Oh ok. Thank you for your help. I hope we will meet again.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
Liam only smiled knowingly as the two thieves left the party and disappeared.
A few seds ter he directed his panions:
“You two go ahead. I will catch up in a while.”
“What? Expert, don’t leave!”, excimed Cye with a pout.
“Don’t worry, I will stay in the party. You two go ahead and take the path on the left to Rabbit Creek. Remember not to ehe zone before I arrive.”
Silver Bde nodded calmly but still asked:
“What are you doing?”
“Getting yger back.”
“What?”
“You’ll see.”
With those words Liam revealed a crafty smile as he turned around.
The young maered the forest, carefully staying close to the road. A short while ter he spotted old man Meyhran again.
Liam stayed silent as he observed the road carefully.
Just then he saw footsteps in the dirt, small clouds of dust rising.
Liam inwardly shook his head. In Fate of aboul stealth wasn’t all-powerful. Even with a high skill rank it would still leave some signs behind.
With Liam’s experience he could evehe faint distortion in the air, taking the form of two human figures walking upright. Talin and Malin didn’t even adjust their posture.
In his old life those two would’ve died before reag ahey really didn’t show mutelligence.
The two brothers were blinded by greed. However, it was hard to bme them as Meyhran was too deceptive. Even if they ied the NPC right now, they would only see an old man of level 1 with hardly any strength.
Liam recalled the stats Meyhran showed in his previous life but even he couldn’t be sure if those were real or fake.
Unfortunately, the two thieves didn’t sider any of this as they sneaked up on the old man.
With shining eyes, they both activated their [Steal] auxiliary skill.
Their hearts beat wildly as a loading bar filled. Talin could already imagihe powerful item which might nd in his hand soon.
Meanwhile, Malin’s ambition was even grander, desiring to take away the old man’s magical bag.
But after a few seds they were surprised as they ended up empty handed.
Liam nodded inwardly, knowing that this was Meyhran’s generosity.
But the thieves didn’t think so. After a moment of p, they figured it out. How could the good stuff be won after just a siry?
With eager smiles on their lips, they reached out again.
The progress bar filled.
Talin and Malin pulled their hands back at the same time, almost uo suppress their ughter as they felt the metallic texture on their fingers.
They tilted their heads doreciating their loot.
At this moment, Meyhran suddenly fshed. With a siep he appeared teers away, tinuing as if nothing happened.
Liam saw the se from within the forest, menting the thieves’ fate.
Boom!
An explosion shook the ground. Dirt spttered in all dires. Fmes shot into the air.
Liam sched his face as miserable wails reached his ears.
He realized that the brothers might not have bothered to reduce the standard 50% pain simutio.
A familiar wall of fmes burned in front of Liam’s eyes. After twenty seds it gradually died down.
Pyers jogged on the road, lured by the otion. But Liam repared, not giving aime to react.
He rushed out of his hiding spot, quickly grabbing the items on the ground before disappearing again.
The onlooking pyers were surprised.
“What happened here?”
“I think someone died.”
“Damn, we were too te. The items are gone.”
“Do you think that guy id a trap here?”
A few pyers felt shivers running down their spihey decided to take a detour.
However, if they knew what Liam just picked up, they might have disregarded all dao chase after him.
The young man smiled brightly as he shrough the forest, pying with the dagger in his hand.
He decided to give it back to Silver Bde directly. Receiving the notification the young woman was relut, but after Bleary Mirage expin how he got the dagger back, she accepted without much guilt.
She was even disappointed in those thieves, setting their greedy eyes on an old man.
Liam refrained fr to let her uand that it was just a NPowing that it was important that everyone could enjoy the game their own way.
While approag Rabbit Creek Liam still wore a huge smile on his face, thinking about the piece of paper Malin dropped. It was actually the recipe for a basic dagger.
Although the on was nothing special, this recipe would allow Liam to acquire the bcksmith profession, which was one of the things he genuinely enjoyed.
Thus, Liam arrived at Rabbit Creek in a good mood, watg the beginner zone.
The enviro ged a little, with less trees and more high grasses. The path was narrower, somewhat rown, leading up to an old wooden bridge.
Water gurgled joyfully below it, attrag white rabbits to drink and bathe.
If it weren’t for Bleary Mirage’s warning, Silver Bde and Cye would’ve long walked up to enjoy the peaceful sery.
Now they hid behind a tree, waving at Liam as the noticed the young man arriving.
“Expert, I don’t get it. Why did you asked us to wait?”
“Use your i skill.”, advised Liam with a smile.
The two women plied, fog on a cute looking white rabbit. But they were fused when they he monster’s name written in red.
“Do you see its name? Red-named monsters are aggressive, attag on sight.”
“Really? Those cute rabbits?!”
“Yes. I have to admit that it is quite evil from C to pce red-named level 1 monsters here. But I guess pyers o learn somehow.”
Just as the trio was talking among themselves, two young men arrived from the road. They drew their ons and ran towards the creek not far away.
But their path led them right into the ter of this area. About a dozen rabbits noticed the invaders, instantly poung at them angrily.
The poor pyers didn’t stand a ce. At least they had some luck as their equipment didn’t drop.
Silver Bde and Cye gulped.
“It’s good that we listeo an expert.”
“Well, those two were quite unlucky. But we also shouldn’t overly fear red-named monsters. If you are a bit careful, there isn’t much threat to it.”
“Yes, yes. You lead the way!”
Cye nodded, still wearily looking at the bunch of rabbits slowly scattering again.
Liam didn’t mind, signaling the two women as he sloroached the area from the side.
A moment ter a notification popped up, prompting him to stop in pce.
[Discovered Rabbit Creek. Reward: 10EXP]
[EXP: 103/100]
[gratutions, you have reached level 2.]
[Please remember to distribute your attribute points.]
Liam didn’t care much, as he had read such a notification too often. He quickly distributed his new points.
But as he listeo the two women exg in delight, he couldn’t help but show a faint smile as well.
“Hey, I reached level 2!”
“Me too, me too!”
Liam waited, letting Silver Bde and Cye celebrate for a bit. Afterward he helped them distribute their points before tinuing with the quest.
Liam sneaked forward alone, sloroag the rabbits. He chose his angle wisely, making sure not to attraany of them.
However, with the level up right now he khat they didn’t o be overly careful anymainst those level 1 enemies.
Thus, Liam took a st bold step, prompting five pairs of red eyes to turn his dire.
