Chapter 4 - The Energy Drink

Rosalina stared blankly at the three system windows in front of her. After reading the three missions given by the system, she felt that the system was playing a joke on her.

Hunted three goblins for a kitchen knife. Only a fool would do that.

Likewise with the second mission, collect five different types of plants for the sake of an empty glass. Rosalina felt that the system was giving a prank.

Although both missions can be carried out by Rosalina. Even if the gifts given were much better than the trash gifts now. Rosalina still wouldn't do it.

The time span of one hour is impossible.

In order to hunt goblins and collect plants, Rosalina needed to go to the forest in the outer wall of the city. The distance from the city walls to the forest border alone, can take approximately one hour.

So completing both missions within an hour is impossible.

Searched for a herd of goblins and searched for five types of herbs. At least Rosalina needed an extra hour. So at least the time needed to complete the mission is two hours.

Looking at the two missions in front of her, Rosalina feels who was behind the system. Whether it's a god or another almighty figure, it really feels amateurish.

For some reason, Rosalina's hope and trust in the system is dwindling. She felt that this system was not reliable at all.

Ten years! She had been waiting all this time, and the first three missions she had been given were far from what she had expected. Rosalina cursed and cursed again the system in front of her.

"Sigh..."

After venting out all the annoyance within her. Rosalina let out a long breath. She looked again at the three missions.

Two missions are impossible to do, but the third mission can be done easily.

Just fifty push-ups is a routine that she is used to doing every day. Even the number of routines was more than the mission wanted.

"Energy drink, huh..."

Rosalina looked closely at the image of the energy drink in front of her. From the shape alone, she immediately knew that the canned drink was a drink that came from Earth, not Etheria.

Not only that, the other two prizes felt the same. Kitchen knife and glass. Rosalina feels these two objects also come from Earth.

In Etheria today, glass shards do exist. But only owned by nobles and the Royal Family. The price of glass when sold to the market will give someone a sudden wealth.

Unfortunately, the given mission is impossible to do.

"Tch, this is really ridiculous!"

Rosalina accepted the third mission. Touch the 'Accept' button which is at the bottom of the mission window. Then immediately do push-ups while continuing to grumble.

Ding!

A second after Rosalina finished her mission. The system immediately gave her a notification. The new mission window appeared again, with a notice at the bottom that she can receive the reward.

Rosalina touched the icon to receive the gift. Suddenly a small crack formed in the air. Only thirty centimeters, which from the cracks, a drink can immediately fall.

Rosalina immediately caught the can. She looked at the gift that was now in her hand. Looking at it carefully, then nodded after confirming that the drink can was indeed from Earth.

A language and characters she hadn't seen in ten years. A drink brand that has been around since she was a kid. Although the model and design of the can has changed considerably, there is no mistaking that this drink is indeed from Earth, and seems to be from the era ten years after she transmigrated.

Rosalina frowned. Back on Earth, she never drank energy drinks at all. Because she feels this drink will only be drunk by employees who like to work overtime.

Who would have thought, Rosalina would taste this drink for the first time in a different world.

"This situation is a bit strange."

She muttered, opening the lid of the can. Then sip the drink with pleasure.

"Bwaaah! Artificial sugar! How long has it been since I've tasted this sweetness? Hahahaha!"

Rosalina was really happy to taste a drink that came from her former world. She felt nostalgic even though never had that type of drink.

The woman drank with a wide laugh accompanied by tears running down her cheeks. Holding and tasting the canned drink reminded her of life on Earth.

Reminds her of her family and friends.

Rosalina, who is now twenty-eight years old, is sitting against the back wall of her house. Crying like a teenage girl again, a pent-up longing suddenly came out of her heart.

Ding!

When the woman is struggling with longing. The notification sound from the system stunned her.

Rosalina looked at the system window that had reappeared with a blank stare.

"Huh?"

Rosalina pensively looked at the system window that announced the increase in her strength stats.

She glanced at the system window and then at the energy drink in her hand. She kept looking back and forth between the two things before finally understanding what had just happened.

"Damn..."

***

On the other hand, located in an apartment on Earth.

A man who has just watched an episode of a movie series on his computer. Suddenly distracted by a bright blue light beside him.

He looked and saw that the unopened can of energy drink was lit up like a lamp.

The man, Theo, opened his eyes wide. Surprised as well as wondering about the events he was seeing.

About five seconds later. The lit drink cans suddenly disappeared.

"What the hell?"

A confused look suddenly appeared on Theo's face. He touched the place where the can was. Really can't find any trace of it at all.

'Where it goes? What happened?!'

Theo immediately stood up frantically from his chair. Staring with horror at that place.

The events he had just seen were truly inexplicable scientifically. It was magical yet scary, because Theo didn't understand how it could happen.

The man immediately looked around him. Trying to find an astral figure who might be bullying him. Although he doesn't believe in mystical things, this incident has shaken his belief a bit.

"Hello...? Is there someone here?"

Gulp.

He has to admit, at this moment Theo was really scared.

Ding!

"Waaaa!"

Suddenly a notification sound from his cell phone rang, startling Theo who was still covered in fear.

He turned to his phone, grabbed it and read the notification on the screen.

[Rosalina successfully completed the Third Mission! The gift has been sent!]

"…huh?"

Theo was stunned and then remembered that the canned drink was one of the objects he had scanned to serve as a mission reward in a mobile game.

"Impossible! Could it be…"

Theo immediately opened the game application on his cellphone, then clearly saw on the screen a female character named Rosalina was sitting while enjoying the exact same canned drink as the one on his table earlier.

The woman laughed happily while shedding tears. Said that it had been a long time since she had tasted a drink from Earth.

Theo who saw the scene on the screen was at a loss for words. His brain couldn't process what was happening right now.

Reflexively because of the fear of the unknown. Theo immediately threw the phone against the hard wall. Crushed the cell phone into pieces.

Crash!

It was only after the sound of a crash that the man realized what he had just done.

"Ah..."
