The taverns in Toll Town could be considered very clean in this world.
However, the cleaner the taverns were, the fewer customers they had.
Inside, a middle-aged uncle, Paul, was currently wiping the tables and benches.
From time to time, he would glance up at the only two customers, but he wasn't too curious.
As a bartender, he knew that working in a tavern was the most taboo thing to be curious about.
However, the aura of the man and woman in front of him was really hard to ignore.
A moment later, he walked over and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Paul asked the man who was obviously in the lead.
"I'm looking at the Mission Board. Is there anything I should take note of?" Angus spoke gently.
This attitude also made Paul ease up a little. However, after hearing Angus' words, he was also slightly stunned.
There was actually someone here to do a mission?
To be honest, Angus was not the first, but he was definitely one of the very few.
As he shook his head slightly, he lost interest in Angus.
Well, this was a little strange!
This bartender, he was clearly very curious about this foreigner, Angus, but now he did not want to ask too much. This made Angus feel a little interesting.
"Sir, you seem to be familiar with people like me."
"Can you tell me?"
Angus's attitude was very amiable.
Hearing his question, even if Paul had some thoughts in his mind, he didn't hide his curiosity.
"A foreigner like you came here before!"
Paul picked up the rag in his hand again and wiped it on the table, feeling a little emotional.
"After these people saw the mission, they tried it and left!"
"Now, no one comes here anymore."
Paul shook his head as he spoke.
"But you can't blame them! It's mainly those wet beetles under Toll Falls. They're really too annoying!"
Paul's words made Angus' ears perk up slightly, as if...
There was something worth paying attention to!
Right now, Angus' primary goal was to quickly level up!
However, according to his strategy, many dangerous methods could no longer be tried.
Therefore, quests, monsters, and terrain were all things that he paid close attention to. As long as Angus could confirm that he could safely farm monsters and level up, he could consider trying!
Angus paid a lot of attention to what the NPC said.
Especially when Angus heard about the wet beetle, he immediately pricked up his ears!
The reason was...
He had seen this wet beetle in the guide. Moreover, the description was similar to what the bartender had said, which was a very troublesome thing!
In fact, Angus had indeed seen some related quests about the monster environment of Thor's waterfall in the guide just now.
Some players had already explored this area.
They had also explored many quests.
However, there were not many quests in this area! On the quest pane, there were only a few quests to search for herbs, minerals, and monster materials.
However, the disgusting level of the map could be said to be very exaggerated!
Angus vaguely remembered the description in the guide just now.
"The monsters are distributed in the forest ecology. It's a very common monster configuration. Forest Wolves, tigers, deer, and so on..."
"However, there's another very troublesome monster!"
"Wet beetles!"
"There are so many of these monsters! !"
"The monsters are at Level 10. It's not high, but it has a very disgusting characteristic!"
"Its shell is too hard!"
"It's as numerous as ants, but it's the size of a three-year-old child..."
"It's very difficult to deal with. Usually, as long as you see one, there will be more than 10,000 of them nearby. I don't know how many more there are in the nest. There's a high chance that they will die after being surrounded. It's a type of monster that has less experience than normal monsters of the same level."
"Also, it's very common in Toll Falls and the surrounding forest!"
"I suggest players not come to this area to grind and do quests. It's very troublesome."
That was what the guide said.
However, since Angus was already here, he still wanted to take a look.
After all, the NPCs in this world all had their own thinking abilities. If this type of beetle was really overpowered and invincible, the people here would not live here anymore. They would have long been taken over by the beetles!
He continued to inquire, "Sir, what is the situation with the wet beetles you mentioned?"
"I want to know more about it. Can you tell me more about it?"
When Paul heard that Angus was interested in this, he was not surprised at all.
"Wet beetles... Well, there is nothing much to tell! There are a lot of them, and they're very difficult to deal with."
"So, the prices of herbs, ores, and the like are relatively higher here."
Angus looked up after hearing that... It was really a little higher, just a fraction more than normal.
Then, Paul seemed to remember something and continued.
"But these beetles do have weaknesses."
"They are very afraid of fire!"
"But unfortunately, in that forest, near Toll Falls, the humidity is too heavy! Regular torches can only be lit once, and they can only be used for half the normal time!"
"So, every time you want to deal with this beetle, you need to use some higher-level torches or props."
Going for a walk... he needed items? ?
Torches, fire items... these things did not seem cheap in the market!
Angus became more and more ridiculous as he listened.
If he added up the cost of these things, he would have to pay for it in the end when he went in to farm monsters and complete quests!
No wonder the guide did not recommend players to come over.
Now he had seen it for himself.
However, his eyes flashed. He glanced at Shivana, who was standing obediently beside him with a hood on her head. It seemed that he had some advantages that regular players did not have.
Angus thought for a moment and tore all the quests off the quest pane.
Paul was stunned when he saw it.
"W-What are you doing?"
Angus had already gotten everything he wanted to know, so he did not explain further and waved his hand.
"Accept the mission!"
After saying that, he slowly walked out of the tavern.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Shivana.
Looking at his back Paul blinked and was stunned for a moment before he rubbed his hair.
"This kid... gives off a feeling... I can't tell... He's not very ordinary!"
...
On the other side, Angus made some simple preparations and bought a few torches. Then, he set off in the direction of Toll Falls!
In fact, when he heard the old man say that there were countless number of wet beetles that were afraid of flames...
He suddenly remembered something.
Shivana!
Her dragon flame and breath could be helpful.
The skills could cause great damage.
This meant that he had the ability that other players did not have. Now that everyone did not have the skills, he could farm a large number of monsters!
"Even if the experience points of these monsters are not much, they can not withstand the number of monsters!"
The more Angus thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
And the most coincidental thing was that there were no other players in this place, and the NPCs were not willing to get close to it!
It could be said that it was a perfect fit for his idea of keeping a low profile.
As for the few torches that he bought...
Of course, it was for the sake of going over to investigate, as long as he was sure that no one would appear here.
The next thing to do was to level up crazily.
He had completed all the quests in this town.
