"Damn it!"
Perhaps because it was exactly what they were trying to do, they vehemently rejected Rokhan's offer.
"Yes, then there is nothing you can do."
thump thump!
As Rokhan laughed and slammed down the Orc Battle Ax, they could not stand it and died.
And poured out a pile of items. PK has a higher chance of dropping items than normal users, and there is a chance of dropping multiple items instead of just one.
And unluckily, they won the odds.
"Fellows, I will listen to you. That's right, scout."
"You, who are you!"
Packing them all, Rokhan looked back at the remaining one. He was the main character who pretended to be human by summoning the three dead PKs.
His eyes were not stained red, as if he was only doing the role of watching the net and giving signals when users came.
"If you tell me, I don't know who it is"
What is the name of the voice in the game, which is still in its infancy? When Rokhan messed around and picked up the remaining items, he hesitated for a moment before playing tricks.
"detection!"
[The opponent used a hostile skill against you.]
[The self-defense is permitted for 5 minutes from now.]
[If there is resistance, self-defense time may increase.]
"You're earning a hawk!"
Fuck!
Even there, it was Rokan who had fully expected it. As soon as he read Rokhan's information through the foresight, he ran like a deukdal and smashed his head.
Like the guy who was in charge of reconnaissance, his level was low, so his head was broken and he died without much resistance.
"yogh! Even this guy gives me a tem, is he really a jerk, hehe!"
The name and level were revealed to them through sniffing, but Rokhan didn't care at all. He even hummed while concentrating on collecting the items they dropped.
As befits the guys who work in Trincik, the dropped items were also quite good.
One guy even dropped his bow, which seemed to be his main weapon. The drop rate of the bow type was not high, so it must have been a bit painful.
After collecting all the items, Lokhan waited a little longer without heading to Trinsic. It was in the hope that they would reappear for revenge or bring a friend.
Unfortunately, however, no one additionally appeared, either because he was scared or because the timing was not right and he couldn't call his colleagues.
"Aren't they coming more, you guys with no guts!"
The level of Rokhan revealed through the detection was only 35, so it would be okay to try once or twice more.
"Damn, I should have been a little gentler."
After waiting another 20 minutes, Rokhan showered them with swear words and headed back to Trinsic.
* * *
Most users feel 'tremendous' when they see Chton for the first time, but Trinsic was twice as big as that. There were so many shops and so many NPCs.
Although it is a secondary city, it was built to accommodate more people. In the first place, moving from a primary city like Cton is possible for anyone with time.
Moreover, since the hunting grounds around Trinsik had the lowest level of 40, they were able to raise their level enough even if they had not completely graduated from the violent forest in Cthon.
"There are quite a few"
Perhaps because of that, Trinsik was unexpectedly crowded with people. It's been more than a month since The Road has been in service, so in the meantime, all those who say they have some game sense have come over.
'But fast isn't the best.'
But Rokan knew. Among them, most of them are like chaff like the PKs I met a while ago.
Unless it was the first time, being a little faster than others meant nothing.
"for now… … From the general store."
It was not easy to memorize all the topography of this big city unless you were wandering around a lot.
Of course, if you go through all kinds of quests, you'll find out, but Rokhan made a rational choice rather than such an inefficient way.
Just buy a map at the general store.
There were limits to relying on memory, and it was also because the magic map had special functions built into it.
When I bought a map from the general store and added it to the magic map, my current location, the location of the place I wanted to go to, and the shortest distance were displayed as dots and dotted lines.
Rokhan said while holding the magic map he had purchased.
"Navigation on. The destination is the wizard guild."
Rokhan moved to the Wizards Guild, thinking that it was better to go this way than to stumble, even though the memories of his previous life came to mind.
* * *
"As expected"
Unlike the Cthon Wizards Guild, where there were no crowds of people, the Trinsic Wizards Guild was quite quiet. In the meantime, it wasn't because the popularity of wizards had declined, but because the number of wizard users who had leveled up enough to come here was still small.
Unlike melee series, where you can continue rampaging without skills as long as you have life, the amount of mana for wizards was equal to a sustainable hunting time.
Because of that, the wizards here were really good, or belonged to a guild, or only those who chose wizards as a secondary job.
Rokhan passed between them and spoke to the magic merchant.
"I want to buy a set of rune books."
A magic book that allows teleportation to five memorized places in a non-combat state, a rune book.
If you use it even once, it belongs to the user, so there is no worry about dropping it even if you die.
"Five rune books and mark scrolls, twenty teleport scrolls. All in all, it's 5 gold."
The problem is that it's damn expensive. It was an expensive rune book that could memorize five places and teleport ten times on its own, costing 3 gold, so it was not easy for those active in Trinsic to buy it.
How many PK guys who had three copies of that, one each?
'Come to think of it, they must have done quite a bit.'
I felt regretful that if I had come back a few more times to get revenge, I would have been able to pick and eat more.
"This time on the third floor."
After taking the rune book, Lokhan immediately went up to the third floor. He was originally supposed to be restrained, but this time, too, thanks to the title of 'Steroian's first assistant', he was able to climb without difficulty.
"Yes, Steroian sent it."
The Materian did not test the visitor the way the Steroian did. Still, just in case, I summoned the servant of truth to check, but I was right.
After receiving the 'improved antidote' and 'Steroian's letter', he thought deeply for a long time before opening his mouth.
"You definitely need to prepare in advance. yes, you will help me"
The glances in his eyes looked very unreliable. That would also be true, Rokan's level was at most 35. Trinsic was scattered with level 40 and 50 users, so it was natural that he was reluctant.
"Please leave it to me."
"There is also a recommendation from Steroian, and since you talk so much… … Alright, let me ask you one favor."
[Endless Research I][Quest]
After seeing the prototype of the antidote that Steroian improved, Materian is looking for ingredients to increase the effect. Bring him the Forest Goblin Shaman's Elixir.
- Success Condition: Forest Goblin Shaman's Elixir 0/1
-Reward: 4 silver, normal experience
'It's started.'
This was the real beginning. Forest goblins are talented towards alchemy and magic. Starting with the 'Forest Goblin Sorcerer's Elixir', Materian would request body parts or objects from all kinds of monsters, but some of them had nothing to do with actual research, so users cursed at them all.
However, it cannot be denied. Lokhan accepted the quest and came out.
"Whatever you do, you should do it efficiently."
I knew roughly what kind of items Materian would ask for in the future.
Then there is no need to wander or waste time.
"There is only one thing to do. Check out the auction items."
* * *
Rokan immediately headed to the auction house. Using an auction house that does not exist in primary cities like Cthon, but exists in secondary cities such as Trinsic, Lokhan swept everything he knew into instant purchases.
Most of them were classified as japtem, so they were put up to earn even a small amount of money, so they didn't cost much.
"I guess I'll have to dispose of these as well. Register for Auction Items."
Lokhan put the loot obtained from attacking Savage Village, the Skeleton Warrior series obtained from the cemetery under the moon, and the items dropped by the PKs a while ago at a reasonable price.
At the time of sale, the amount minus the 2% commission is deposited, but it was better than spending time shouting in the plaza. It wasn't that I was in an urgent need of money anyway.
As soon as he returned with the auction items he had purchased, ten quests were completed in a row.
[Endless Research II][Quest]
After seeing the prototype of the antidote that Steroian improved, Materian is looking for ingredients to increase the effect. Bring him the Forest Lizardman's Blood and Heart.
-Success condition: Forest Lizardman's Blood 0/1, Forest Lizardman's Heart 0/1
-Reward: 20 silver, normal experience
'I finally have something to do.'
As the title of the quest suggests, it was a truly endless sequence. To the extent that Rokan leveled up once with only experience as a quest reward.
It's good because it's fast, but if you tried to clear it normally, even Rokan would have been quite stressed. Even if she used the same auction house, she would have to go back and forth and sell her feet.
In addition, it is treated as a japtem now, but when the main quest is activated later, it must have been in a state where it could not be obtained due to a high price or insufficient supply.
Even so, it was a trick that Rokan could do because he was chasing after him because he was confined to the training ground.
"Has this guy not been caught yet?"
But that was until the tenth quest.
The level of the forest lizardman, the subject of the eleventh quest, was about 70. Although it was not displayed in the quest, the Forest Lizardman Warrior who gave the 'Heart of the Forest Lizardman' was a whopping level 80 strong. Moreover, it was not strange that the stock had not yet been released at the auction house, as it was being judged by the boss.
"Maybe they sold it somewhere else."
In addition, Lizardman's by-products were purchased in many ways, so they could have sold them to NPCs without knowing where they were used. Or maybe you just kept an eye on it.
At this point, in order to catch the Forest Lizardman Warriors, they would have no choice but to run as a group like a raid. Unless you have special powers like Lokhan.
"Well, there is nothing urgent."
After organizing his thoughts, Rokhan felt at ease. It was important for him to clear the main scenario quest quickly, but there were quite a lot of other things to gain from Trinsic.
Hidden items, hidden dungeons, hidden quests, and information that will give you new achievements and powers. I recalled them one by one and started looking for the easiest one.
