Viro logged out after grinding the monsters for his quest. It took him quite a long time and he wasn't even clear it yet. Regardless, he needed dinner.
In the living room, Arie looked quite serious looking at the Tablet in his hand. And after taking the food that "housemaid" brought, he walked over to him.
"What's wrong?"
Hi. Progress, good?"
That was somewhat an unusual response he received. Viro could only tilt his head, showing his confusion.
"Sure. Nothing more than 'unlimited grinding work'."
And just like that, with Viro trying to think about what topics to talk about, only 'channel 73' echoed in their living room.
From what Viro saw, what Arie was busy with was something that was still related to the game. And so, he could still exhale a sigh of relief. At least even if it was somewhat a serious problem, it was still within a thing where he can still relate to.
"There is a problem?" Viro brought his plate of food to the front of the TV and ate it there.
With Viro present, Arie released his focus and tried to relax. Channel 73, which airs alone for quite a time, now has a rival and lowered its voice. Of course from the 'sabotaged' of the 'competitors'.
"If you say it's a problem, actually I can't claim it is a problem."
"Oh. Then?"
Arie told him about the "Wyvern-level Quest" that he and the other two got. Because he was in a place with wide access now, he also showed the search engine results about people who had similar quests from the previous game. The quest that has kept the forum heated for some time.
"Woah! That will be good if I able to join." Viro teased his brother. With a pout he made up, he acted disappointed.
"Yeah. It will also be good for us to have you in the party. "
"Ah, is that so?" Somehow, Viro had a mixed feeling. With how many 'unsuccessful attempt' he had, the conversation couldn't go at the 'usual' pace he had in mind.
"Wanna lend a hand?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Don't you said that you guys 'stuck'? Can I join the quest midway? "
"Well, nope. You can't. I mean, help in another way. Although, I think it's not effective if you are the one that lent me a hand. "
"Oh, but. If it's about helping you. Anything shouldn't be a matter to me."
"Yeah. I will force you to help if it comes to hunting. But, since it's not about that and you are struggling with your own quest, either… "Ar left a shrug in the middle and did not continue his talk. There was another reason, but he didn't mention it.
"Heee... But, at least tell me about what kind of help do you need? 'Stuck and whenever you log in, the cave entrance will welcome you. Wyverns are on a 'red' difficulty and you didn't try it yet. Help with Wyvern's research? "
While Viro was responding to the talk, he picked his own Tablet and tried to search for Wyvern's data of the previous game. The one he thought was needed for Arie.
"Why should I ask for the game's information to you. Newbie." Arie responded with an annoying face. His eyebrows were lifted as high as he lifted his shoulder.
"Ehem. That.. that's true, though. " Viro realized and admitted the mistake and even the 'roast' quietly.
When it comes to the game itself, there were changes and there were no clear details about the background of the world called 'Greylhad'.
A lot of things switched. One of the examples was the Slime. It was almost a hundred percent that the only 'visitors' that have fought them were Arie's party. A contrast to what happened in the previous game where Slime was almost the mascot of the game.
"Here's what I need. First, do you remember what I said as the most important things for PvE and PvP matters?"
"Sure. I asked Ensne to help me with it. Although it was also helped by people who weren't hunting on the Hunting Ground. "
"True. Yours and Avia's quest is very helpful with that fact. "
Nod.
"Then, the most troublesome part of my quest was one of the META for PvE. A quiz. 1 2 3. "
"Huh? Hmm.. the Wyverns? Since the 'pro guide' told the community about 'Yellow' difficulty for everyone under '20'. That 'red' Wyverns should be in a league above even after we advanced class. You know, my 'Salamander' or Avia's 'Apes' are still 'orange' even after we are above 20."
"Wait, that's not what I mean, but you got the point." Arie accepted his answer and considered it. In fact, he even missed new information about Avia who was hunting "Apes" for his quest.
"Of course." Viro accepted it as a compliment and had a confident smile. Although, it changed with one sentence from the 'Quiz's host'.
"It's wrong, regardless."
"Supply?" Since the META of the PvE that he knew only consisted of three matters, Viro quickly guessed the other option.
"Yep. I know you just guessed it. "
Shrug.
"It's a place where we can't restock with any usual means. But, we have tried it before. Trade. I will ask for supply from the Elf sisters. Any news about them? "
Viro answered him while taking his used plate to the dishwasher.
"They should be free since Ilya has become a house arrest."
"House arrest !? Why? " Viro didn't tell him about this earlier and made him caught off guard with this new information.
"Lea was agitated when she knew that her sister used a secret skill and some sort."
Right after he let the dishwasher do the rest, he straight up went to his room again.
"Want to log in again this quick?"
"Well of course. Since I'm not capable of helping either. "
"Oh, if you insist, you can help."
Is that so? What is it?" Viro's expression did not change brightly as Arie's expected.
"You have heard about the condition of our condition.
Nod.
"And you are aware that we have to restock and prepare our 'bag'.
Nod.
"So, you should've known the fundamental thing we need the most."
"What do you mean? Just ask Lea and Ilya for it. I have to do my quest anyway."
"Geez. You know where it goes, huh?"
"Of course, do you think I will get caught in a 'wyvern-level scam'?"
