With the first max Mediocre quest out of the way, there were still 6 more to be done.
Jerry immediately stopped the flames that were on the sword once the quest was completed so that he wasn't wasting mana.
He used the strategy of making the horned goblin drop its weapon for the quest after too, and that was 2000 Experience, making him level up.

[Level 22 : 880/4850 Experience to Level 23]
[Attribute Points : 3]

That was what Jerry's personal interface was reading now.
"Hmm, now now.. should I add all the points into Intelligence?" Jerry asked his friend and himself.
"I dunno man, do whatever you deem fit." Quast gave his trademarked shrug to signify that his friend should decide for himself.
"Yeah, I think I'll hold off, alright." Jerry decided to close his interface and they continued with the Mediocre quests, and after just two more he got a level up, now level 23 with 6 Attribute points in his balance.
The one defeating the goblins was too tired to continue, so the friends decided to have a break, but unlike before, this time they didn't have a backpack filled with water or food with them.
"Ayo, remember when you told me that there was food in the shop, why not spend the obsene amount of coins we have on something?" Jerry asked.
"Yeah." Quast responded and opened the shop window infront of both of them.
The shop had a search function, and by default it was set to Random, but it was changed to Consumables and sorted from Lowest to Highest price.
[Coins : 2430][Sort Items by : Consumables(Lowest to Highest Price)]
[Healing Mushroom : 5 Coins]
[Lesser Healing Potion : 20 Coins]
[Rejuvenating Candy : 50 Coins]
[Page 1/100...]
"Wow, there are so many pages again." Jerry looked and decided to select and read about the Healing Mushroom first.
[Healing Mushroom]
[Cost : 5 Coins]
[This magical mushroom of unkown origins seems like a healthy snack that will restore a tiny bit of stamina and help a little bit with healing wounds.]
"Woah all of these effects only for 5 coins?" Jerry looked surprised, but decided to check out the other 2 items that were on the page.
[Lesser Healing Potion]
[Cost : 20 Coins]
[Helps with healing wounds some bit.]
"Seems worse than the mushroom, but I guess it isn't since it costs more." Jerry then went onto the next item.
[Rejuvenating Candy]
[Cost : 50 Coins]
[This round piece of candy made from sugars that have good restorative properties restores stamina and mana some bit.]
"This one doesn't heal, but it seems good." and with that they went onto the next page of items without buying anything yet.
[Coins : 2430][Sort Items by : Consumables(Lowest to Highest Price)]
[Vial of Lymphia : Cost : 85 Coins]
[Healing Potion : Price : 100 Coins]
[Concoction of Restoration : 150 Coins]
[Page 2/100...]
"It's kinda awesome and neat checking out the stuff in the shop." Jerry said as he chose the Vial of Lymphia to read about.
[Vial of Lymphia]
[Cost : 85 Coins]
[A vial of shiny water that has decent stamina restorative properties.]
[Healing Potion]
[Cost : 100 Coins]
[Helps with healing wounds a reasonable bit.]
[Concoction of Restoration]
[Cost : 150 Coins]
[This liquid can restore mana, stamina, and heal wounds a fair bit.]
"I think imma go with 4 Healing Mushrooms." Jerry paused "..Damn hopefully it isn't drugs, but anyways, 4 Healing Mushrooms, a Lesser Healing Potion and a Rejuvenating Candy, cuz why not?"
Being able to buy in bulk at the shop was possible so 4 Healing Mushrooms were bought, as soon as that happened the Personal Interface of Jerry opened to the right of the shop, the Gear tab was changed to Gear & Items, and on Quast's Quest Giver Interface the Gear tab was also changed to Gear & Items.
"Uh huh, that's cool." Jerry did what was implied and put the Healing Mushrooms into the new item storage that was seperate from the Gear tab.
[Gear & Items]
[Gear : Slimy Metal Sword, Endurance Medallion{embedded}, Arthur's Iron Gauntlets]
[Items : 4 Healing Mushrooms]
The other items were bought after that and the Items tab now read.
[Items : 4 Healing Mushrooms, 1 Lesser Healing Potion, 1 Rejuvenating Candy]
All of the items costed 90 Coins.
"So what exactly can we put in this new 'Items' tab?" Jerry asked.
Quast got a smaller shock of knowledge when the tab unlocked and responded "Well, I guess anything that isn't Gear will go in there."
A Healing Mushroom was summoned and Jerry hesitated taking a bite out of it, but finally did after some consideration, the taste was about what was expected from a raw edible mushroom, but boosted a little bit, the flavour was a little bit more than nothing, but it was still pretty bland, the one who ate the mushroom felt a little bit more energised.
After the taste was described to him, Quast decided to also try a Healing Mushroom, he didn't find it the best.
The quests continued as there were only 3 left, and they could be done moderately fast.
The break was around 7 minutes long, and in that time Jerry regenerated all of his mana.
3 max Mediocre Quests would give 6000 Experience, and that was enough for a level up.
Just some minutes later and one was already completed, and around 11 minutes later so were the rest, but Jerry managed to get hit once, it didn't hurt as much as he imagined but it was still pretty bad, and that was just because of a little mishap of slipping on the grass and losing balance for some instants, giving the goblin enough time to hit him, thankfully it wasn't a full hit.
With the 3rd quest gone that was 2000 more Experience, making Jerry level up to level 24, he now had 9 Attribute points that he hadn't spent. As soon as the last Mediocre quest was done, he took out the Lesser Healing Potion and drank the reddish liquid that was a little sweet, it was actually quite like water, except sweeter and coloured a light red.
"Damn, that actually quenched my thirst, and I'm feeling a lot better." Jerry said after he drank the entire contents of the Potion bottle that seemed like it was around 150 milliliters from the size of the glass bottle.
Jerry wasn't nearly strong enough for a Hard quest, he knew that, because he knows how the quests jump in difficulty, and because he also asked his friend.
They had spent nearly 50 minutes in the forest and they decided it was time to leave. They decided to first go to the city center to relax, not that different from the last time, except that this time Quast had his bike with him.
