The battle ended with no casualty at hand. This gave great relief to Ferdinand as he is surveying the surroundings. The giant was already dead, and the ground had stopped shaking. The trees were back in its tranquil state. Sensing a bit of good mood, Ferdinand and his subordinates were now resting around the injured Simpson, with their back on him. They were chatting about different things, such as the different cultures from their world and the customs that they do. They were also asking each other different questions about their lifestyle in the world they come from.
After surveying the surroundings, Ferdinand then walked towards where Simpson and Waylen were. When he arrived, they greeted him. It seemed like he'll need to create a standardized custom soon as things like a salute are a must for a proper army.
He asked Waylen for what are the injuries of Simpson were.
"Commander, he has few swaths of wounds all over his body, but that can be prevented with proper cleaning and disinfection of wounds. Unfortunately, we don't have any surplus of disinfectant, so for the meantime, we will need to gather clean water for the injured. Furthermore, he doesn't have any broken bones, it's just his muscles were sore. Thankfully, nobody was injured from the engagement earlier." Said Waylen.
Simpson then looked at Ferdinand.
"Commander, I am alright I can still serve." Said Simpson.
"Don't worry Simpson, I will not abandon any subordinates I have," Said Ferdinand.
"Thank you, Commander" Said Simpson.
These few words of exchange touched the hearts of Ferdinand's subordinates. It's like this is the first time they are seeing kindness from their commanding officer. Though of course they still are being clouded with the benefit of the doubt. Nonetheless, this gave hope to his subordinates as a whole.
The destiny quest hasn't ended yet, so Ferdinand had guessed that there is still going to be something that's going to approach them or there's nothing anymore. He guessed that it's alright now as the surroundings has returned to its normalcy. Which means they can effectively rest now, but they still have to stay vigilant and alert just in case anything happens.
Ferdinand then ordered his soldiers to stand down and rest with a few breathers, a much better one than the order earlier, which was to stay alert at all times. Seconds had passed, minutes had passed and into hours dawn had finally come and with it the familiar sound came back into his mind.

[PERSONAL AND NORMAL QUEST PREREQUISITES ACHIEVED!]
[REWARDING USER WITH 35000 POINTS] [25000, 10000]
[CALCULATING TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS…]
[REWARDING USER WITH 129,000 POINTS]
Total Points: 158,700
[DING! RESEARCH COMPLETED]
[IMPROVED IRON SIGHT]
[RESEARCH POINTS LEFT: 11900]
[RESEARCH THE NEXT CORRESPONDING TECHNOLOGIES?]
Ferdinand rejected it, as he still needs to boost their mobility, so he chose from different tabs and saw the vehicles tab. The first thing there was a mountain bicycle, just perfect. So he chose the bicycle, and it costed him 50k points. He still has 69k research points left and so he got the weapons squad. Which costed him 60k research points.
The weapons squad, as in the definition, is that it has 4 men, but it has 2 Mark 1 Automatic Rifle and 2 Mark 1 Anti-Tank Rifle. Which is perfect for defending the operating base for future threats.
Ferdinand then started the research of an improve mining equipment 1, which will hasten their mining capabilities. Though it's going to take him a very long time for it as it cost him 100k research points. Concurrently, he has 9000 research points left.
[DING!]
A sound came through Ferdinand's mind and this quiet shock him to an extent.
[USER MAY CHOOSE A REWARD FOR THE FINISHED DESTINY QUEST]
[A SUMMONING CARD], [SINGLE SUMMONING OF EQUIPMENT]
Ferdinand didn't even thought about it but he chose the single summoning of equipment, this would hasten the speed to build things at a cost of points, though in the future it'll get more and more expensive so he had to rely to his technologies and his subordinates to build stuff.
[UPDATING OWL…]
[UPDATE COMPLETED]
Ferdinand didn't even bother to wait for a few seconds and just immediately looked at the system interface and saw that there was now a new tab, and that was the individual summoning equipment.
{Individual Summoning Equipment} ( The equipment summoned from this can be used by user's subordinates and the people of this world. Weapons are not sold here only equipment and if researched other technologies such as a vehicle, but the vehicle summoned will not have any driver, user will have to provide that.)
Upon seeing the tab that he was looking for, Ferdinand was very surprised at what he saw. Now the early days of hardships would be gone, but he didn't expect the price of the equipment there.
[Bicycle 2,000]
[Basic Mining Equipment 1,000]
[Complete Ammunition Maker (Choose your ammunition) 120,000.]
Ferdinand realized that if he didn't complete the destiny quest, then he would face even more hardships in the future. This time he knows points will do a lot of things for him, just for an exorbitant price, so one can't totally rely on points. He'll have to get self-sufficient soon.
