Bae woke up at an undetermined time where the sun is already high in the sky, His environs is destroyed without equals. The ancient majestic tree towering to the sky are now lying with piece scattered all over the place, the grass was inexistent for hundred of meters and the wind is stronger than ever.
He tried to stand up but to no avail, the hurricane had make multiple cut in his body and he lose too much blood during the time he was unconscious. He reached his backpack and take out a heath potion that Old Son gived him when he asked if he could go out hunting and try his new sword. He drink it straight without leaving a drop. A fresh scent got down her throat and he sensed that his legs didn't ache anymore, after five more minute he stand up hardly while asking,
"System, At what rank these guys was?"
Insufficient information, Work hard Host ! |
His anger directly resurfaced but he calmed soon after, "Surely that this will be talked in the village after and I can get information easily" Bae though.
After about thirty minute, he started to walk in direction of the Inner forest, the goblin here can't help him anymore because his swordsmanship is already too high to have any challenge. The forest was divided in two parts , one where Bae hunted, the Outer part and the other is the Inner part, the Outer part is mainly constituted of goblin hunting food or scout goblin from their outpost. Generally the outer part only have trash or normal tier monster unlike the Ice phoenix that was an anomaly here. The Inner part is the main force of the goblin where their outpost is laid, The highest goblin is an elite who supervise a force around ten to twenty goblin. And today Bae decided to challenge an outpost !
While killing solo goblin on his way, he reached the inner part after one day, with a counter of 467 goblin killed from the start, Bae also comprehended why he can't upgrade his stats anymore, each time he kill a goblin, he absorb the energy of these and he now know that while he reached the max for his G- stats but it's nowhere near to pass the blockade to rank up. He calculated that if he wanted to breakthrough killing goblin he needed to kill about thousands of these.
At the same moment he put one foot on the inner part ground, the system spoke.
Quest [Upgrading] has been unlocked]
Quest [Upgrading] : Kill 1 Elite goblin - Reward : Upgrading the system |
Bae was originally surprised by the sudden demands but the further he read the more he was excited without thinking he spoke out loud,
"System ! What does the upgrade do ?"
While expecting a shop or even a cheat skill he heard a monotone voice who shattered his dream,
I don't know |
He puked blood per bucket once more because of the answer and cursed furiously the system.
"Are you not the system ? Why the @#%# do you not know the upgrade you will have ?"
Work hard Host ! I would love to know my upgrade sooner |
He almost lose his calm once more by this shameless system.
He didn't replied and started his search for a relatively easy outpost. He also know that if he killed and looted the drop of an elite goblin he can get tens of silver for his nail. The nail of the trash or common is nowhere near the value of an elite belonging. Because with the nail of an elite, an alchemist can create a Mid-Grade Health potion ! This potion can even regenerate a crippled limb but the cause of why the nail of an elite is high is because they are scarce and the nail didn't drop every time. The ratio is one elite for one thousands of normal and the ratio for the nail is one nail for five elite !
At dusk when he started to slow for finding a place to camp for the night he finally got to saw an outpost. An elite goblin is relatively more intelligent than his other peer, the outpost have three hut make of dry animal skin with a small campfire to scare other animal or goblin who didn't are part of the camp to come here. Bae counted sixteen goblin, one elite accompanied with five common swords goblin and with ten trash goblin who have to hunt the food for the tribes. Bae observed them for the night because he know that it will not be so easy to kill them. The five common goblin follow the elite everywhere he goes. He waited patiently for the morning where he will then follow the trash goblin when they will go out to hunt before killing them silently when they are out of sight from the other. At dawn, Bae frowned, two common spear goblin joined the group. Surely they were scouting the surrounding at night. But this didn't change the plan for now because the trash goblin are still going out. He followed them for ten minute before starting to kill them.
One, two , three... He killed them easily but arrived at the seventh he make an error and didn't instantly kill him which allowed him to push a last cry to warn his fellow pair who directly runned in direction of the camp. Bae succeeded to kill two more before the last entered the camp in fear. He directly warned his chief of what happened, the elite raged and directly punched at the only trash remaining whose head directly exploded with eye of unwillingness.
Bae arrived at the front of camp where he got to see his last prey head exploded, he spotted the elite and follower while taking a fighting pose because he know that it will not be easy. With his strength he is nowhere near what it would take to instantly explode a goblin head. The enemy also spotted Bae and shouted indescribable words before the common monster rushed to Bae with their weapon and a cunning smile.
