[You acquired the Quest Rewards: A Large Amount of EXP, 50 APP Points, [Rainbow Commemorative Reward Package (D-Grade)] x1]
Frank was startled a bit by the System Quest notification popping out of nowhere, as he had already spent several hours on the farm, and for some reason, the quest was finally completed after so long.
"Is this System bugged or something? Anyways, these rewards are nice. I didn't expect this Hidden Quest for something so simple… but it is a nice surprise. It seems as if the System incentives me through rewards, it really does know very well of Human Nature…" thought Frank as he released a bitter smile and whipped out the sweat of his forehead. Alongside Cathyl, Asterion, and Hilvera, he had been working on the fields since he finished registering as an adventurer. He had already lunch and was now on the last hour of his daily work.
The plans being taken care of in Gwendolyn's farm were mostly comestible plants such as carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes, but there were a few smaller fields filled with orange trees. This is why Gwendolyn always had fresh orange juice.
"Are you thirsty? Mom told me to bring you this," said Annabelle, as she ran towards Frank while carrying a few glasses with fresh orange juice over a small wooden table.
"Oh, thanks a lot, this hits the spot~," said Frank, releasing a sigh of relief over his hard work today as he drank the orange juice in one go.
"Fweh, this orange juice is always so refreshing…" said Hilvera.
"Hm! It really hits the spot, just like Frank said!" said Asterion.
"I'm beat… I want something to eat…" muttered Cathyl, resting her arms into her shovel that was deeply stuck into the ground, her enormous chest bounced around, making Frank's eyes divert to them almost automatically.
Not only her breasts were almost enormous by human standards, but her entire chocolate-skinned body was muscular yet incredibly feminine and curvaceous, her hips were wide and sexy, and her arms were dripping with sweat, giving her a very erotic atmosphere that Frank, a guy that often tried to remain calm could not easily resist.
However, he quickly averted his gaze from Cathyl as Hilvera almost caught him in the act.
"A-Anyways, I think it's time to go back?" asked Frank.
"Yeah, mom told me to tell you that work was done, come back home to take a bath and then have dinner!" said Annabelle, running back home.
As Frank went back home with the rest of the Minotaur family and took a quick bath, he began to wonder how much EXP he needed to reach Level 10, it seems that even after having gotten 'A Large Amount of EXP' from the recent quest, he did not level up yet.
"Do I need to defeat more Boss Monsters? Well, as long as it just that, it should be fine… Talking about that, I should try out the Domains in here, bringing Ruby with me, of course" thought Frank.
Suddenly, as he was taking the bath and washing his muscular body, which still surprised him to this day, a system window popped up again.
Ding!
[Due to your fast thinking process, you have acquired the [Thought Acceleration: Level 1] Skill!]
"Oh… Well, I have been thinking so much lately, it's easy to understand that a Skill like this would pop up. Though, to be honest, I wonder if there are other skills such as Parallel Thinking or things that could help me think things such as mathematics faster?" wondered Frank as he began to change clothes, and then…
Ding!
[Due to your accurate predictions, you acquired the [Prediction: Level 1] Skill!]
"Oh… Okay…? System? Are you stalking me right now?" wondered Frank.
Ding!
[Due to your fast thinking process and accurate prediction, you acquired the [Arithmetic Processing: Level 1] Skill!]
"Is this because of Abraddon's Divine Protection? I remember reading that it gave me high proficiency for Skills… but this, it's a bit ridiculous-"
Ding!
[Due to your acute predictions, fast-thinking process, and calculations, you have acquired the [Parallel Thinking: Level 1] Skill!]
"So I am just being showered in Skills? Okay. No, wait, this is not okay. Isn't this way too good? Why? Why am I getting these awesome thinking Skills?! Am I that good of a genius? No way, I do not want to get cocky! System, why do you keep incentivizing me to get cocky?! Do you want me to get myself killed or something?!" asked Frank.
Ding!
[The Level of the [Prediction: Level 1] Skill has increased!]
"You know what? You are cocky here! …But okay, I will not judge your actions anymore. I know that you're trying to do the best for me, right?" said Frank, expecting another level up from Prediction as a 'yes', but nothing happened.
"…"
"Fraaaaank! Hurry up, or the porridge is going to get cold!" said Gwendolyn.
"Frank, hurry up! Or mother will eat it all!" said Asterion.
"I love Horned Rabbit porridge!" said Cathyl with a delightful voice.
"Shit, alright, I can't miss on this…" muttered Frank, getting out of the bathroom as he quickly joined everyone else in dinner, while he used this time to inspect his newly acquired Skills through Inspect. He had discovered that Inspect could be used to check Skills as well, seemingly giving the same results as his normal 'check', however, it would increase the Skill proficiency, so it was worth it.
[Thought Acceleration: Level 1/10]
The capacity to accelerate thought process. Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.
[Prediction: Level 2/10]
The capacity to predict certain events to occur does not guarantee an accurate prediction. Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.
[Arithmetic Processing: Level 1/10]
The capacity of doing calculations at high speeds. Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.
[Parallel Thinking: Level 1/10]
The capacity to use the mind to think many things in parallel. Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.
"The descriptions are awfully simple, but the effects are as well. Perhaps I should not have set such a high standard of these Skills, they seem considerably basic. But I believe that they might get fairly good as they level up… How can I level them up faster, I wonder? Perhaps by thinking a lot? But am I not thinking a lot already? Hm, I wonder if I could do multi-tasking as I did before with the bats, then, I could be able to level up Skills faster, these Skills might bring this capacity of mine to an even greater height…" thought Frank.
Ding!
[The Level of the [Arithmetic Processing: Level 1] Skill has increased!]
"Oh? This works, I guess. The more I think, the more my mind develops, like a muscle. Fascinating," thought Frank.
Frank kept thinking about many things, planning about many things, and using Parallel Thinking to both planes these things out while conversing and chatting with everyone else, after half an hour, where everyone had finally their fill. Although his Skills had not leveled up yet, he considered that they might have accumulated a good amount of proficiency.
Today everyone finished work quite early, and even after dinner, the sun was still slowly approaching the horizon, so Frank decided to go for a hunting session with the three kids that had been waiting for the whole day, Asterion, Hilvera, and Annabelle.
Alongside them, there was the addition of the adorable Ruby, whose Frank realized that she had reached level 5, as she went hunting on her own whenever she felt bored or hungry and had most likely defeated and eaten many Horned Rabbits.
