Chapter 12 : Fulfilling Tasks.
With the constant inconsistencies between the behavior of the Preys on the steppe lingering in our minds, Urlgrend decide to get back earlier to the Town.
And i am grateful for that, my stomach is roaring for having a bite of food, better yet, something cold to drink, and if is while i am taking a bath to clean the dirt, blood and sweat of my body, heaven would be.
As we completed the Missions Urlgrend said with astonishing numbers, plus some other missions too, everyone is quite hype with our future payment.
Outside the caverns of the steppe, the muggy heat of the morning is overwhelming, even so, considering "My Tasks", i have decided to do something crazy, running in a big spiral around the Team to increase the numbers while they advance normally.
{If i am correct, then my traveling would be between 15 to 20 times the length of their straight route to the Town, while carrying more than the double of my own mass, about seven folds the amount needed on the mission}
As soon as i start this insane self imposed training, i obtain several looks of incomprehension, but others understand and even approve and support my actions, after all, Shlõvthy lend me his sacks, as well as Urlgrend.
§{Jog Distance 4,990/5,000}§
§{Carry Mass/Distance 4,876/5,000}§
{In which moment i advance in the second displayed Task Progress?, no, all i have to do was literally lifting more weigh and move around, obviously is going to rise}
§{Jog Distance 4,997/5,000}§
§{Carry Mass/Distance 4,948/5,000}§
{I had not even noticed how far i've come, I wonder what will happen once i complete the 5,000 Clicks of distance?}
§{Jog Distance 5,000/5,000}§
§{Carry Mass/Distance 4,993/5,000}§
{I did it, Now what?}
§{ Rewards: (+1★) (+1MF) (+3BF) }§
{That is all?!, Seriously?!}
§{Task Slot Available}§
§{Improve Previous Task}§
§{Choose Another Task}§
{I do not consider that the most appropriate decision here is to improve my current Jog task, at least not right now, I am sure that it will ask for more distance with more constant speed, simply not feasible}
Selecting "Choosing Another Task" several options appear for me to decide the next one, apparently, there is a parameter unknown to me that determines what is offered in this list of Five.
§{Jump}§
§{Kinetic}§
§{Observe}§
§{Punch}§
§{Throw}§
{No additional information?, awful service, is made by my brain though…}
{Jump and Throw are a no go, too simple and i don't do that a lot, Observe is the same, i know that seeing the Interface of others helps me and others to survive, but the warning of Bverxkka is true, i can't risk it for now}
{Leaving only Kinetic, that i don't know anything or understand, and Punch, pretty straightforward, easy to perform and i actually do this in the past quite a lot, here, is going to be useful}
With the decision made, i pick what i choose.
§ Korvac's Tasks §
Punch: Effectively strike sufficiently punches with no additional help aside of your own fists with a power equivalent to 5,000 Zells of Category -21, (Superior Category accelerates the count, Dealing damage is more relevant than to what are you dealing damage), damage dealt 2,829 Category -21 Zells of 5,000 Category -21.
Rewards: (+1★) (+1MF) (+6BF) (+1DF)
{I didn't understand everything, What is a "Zells"?, It is a plural?, so "Zell"?, i am Category -20, How that affects the equation?, and hitting anything counts?, so i could hit a rock and is accepted in the count if i break it by a Punch?}
During my thinking, i continue jogging, completing my second Task.
§{Carry Mass/Distance 5,000/5,000}§
{I did it gain!, Give me the Star!}
§{ Rewards: (+1★) (+1MF) (+4BF) }§
{With three more Stars i advance to Level 1, Right?, I expect to not be as lame as the Tasks rewards}
§{Task Slot Available}§
§{Improve Previous Task}§
§{Choose Another Task}§
I choose to improve, obviously, carrying things and moving around it will be done continuously until the day i die, it is absurd to even consider another option.
§ Korvac's Tasks §
★Carry: Travel 10,000 Clicks carrying more than two thirds of your body mass as additional luggage, {More mass accelerates the journey lenght count}, distance traveled 2 Clicks of 10,000 Clicks.
Rewards: (+1★★) (+3MF) (+12BF) (+2DF)
{This is not bad, but the sand between my toes is annoying, the same applies when the sand fits between the sandals and the soles of my feet, at least we are near the Town}
It doesn't takes longer for the Team to reach the entrance of the Wall, unfortunately or fortunately, i can't find the female that scolded me, so our route goes directly to the Building that is guarding the Reception Chambers.
Inside we go to the counter having to wait in a line for our turn, it takes a few minutes but our turn arrives, being attended by the light orange hair girl Shlõvthy was flirting with before our Registration.
§ Juliana Bassie §
Quality 0 ★ Category -19
Level 0
Species: Anthropoid (Inferior)
Physic Psychic Restorer Class
Role - None
§ Undetermined Disposition §
She is pretty, her hair is not too long her silhouette is not modest but voluptuous doesn't fit either, cheerful orange vibrant irises that shine like molten metal and her height of 1.7 meters facilitate the access to her cleavage due to some of us being quite tall.
{Is she doing this on purpose?, She gets off from this?, how it is called?, Exhibicionist?}
{Or she simply doesn't care that others saw her if that catches the attention of who is of her interest?}
—Good Morning, I am the Receptionist Attendant Bassie, What would you like to Exchange?.
Express Bassie, Urlgrend is about to reply but Shlõvthy interced, speaking earlier.
—A lot of Materials and Grains, but first, Where is my welcome back kiss Beautiful?.
Bassie rests her hands on the counter and pushes herself up, giving him a kiss that is too passionate for the open and public area all of us are in, getting back to her place, she is a bit breathless with reddish cheeks.
—Now i can't wait for our date to end handsome.
—I was thinking the opposite, lets make the date really looong…
She blushes biting her lips at the implie, is obvious how both want the other and is making uncomfortable to Thyfall and Vinnval, both extremely embarrassed and excited by what they just witnessed.
{Her reactions are super cute, i want to see more}
*Cough*
The fake sound of the Blonde Fit Guy catches everyone attention.
—Can you two be sexual between each other after the payment, i want to eat, drink and take a shower, not necessarily on that order.
Shlõvthy sigh, with seriousness and resolution state.
—You are too young to understand, but let me be clear about this… , Don't rush or you only are going to die tired, take it easy and steady, then, even with no lube you can enter the tightest.
Flabbergasted, i don't have othe word for our stance against the shameless phrase of Shlõvthy, who turned to the receptionist.
»—312 Maw's of Sandworms, 203 Maw's of Caterpillars, 64 Proboscis of Moths, 56 Proboscis of Butterflies, 186 Cocoons, 2,134 Fresh Failed Grains, 19,678 Failed Grains, 105 Fresh Null Grains, 422 Null Grains, 46 Attires recovered that we don't need and the best for the end, the Exoskeleton of a Quality 1 - Level 1 Sandworm, courtesy of my new friend Korvac.
{In which moment we become friends?!, whatever, who doesn't want a funny friend}
—I am going to need a bit of time…
Say Bassie as two girls came to assist her with a device that looks like a separated jar with a two terminations funnel as a cap.
Putting the Grains on top the funnel separates them in Fresh or Normal, only allowing the pass of Failed Grains, counting them as they fall inside the jar.
Then they repeat the process with the Null Grains as Bassie accounts for what Shlõvthy mentioned we want to exchange.
»—Your total i…
The Attendant is interrupted by a passionate kiss delivered by Shlõvthy.
—Thanks for your hard work, in the night, i am gonna work hard in you too…
Comment the bold, shameless but Handsome Male grabbing all the pouches with money, as if he knew the content already.
»—See you later Beautiful…
She only sigh with dreamy smile and moves her fingers as a good bye while the Team gets away from the counter.
»—Four Plates each Urlgrend, do you accept?.
{What!, That is 100 Coins or 2,000 Beads!}
Consciously say our Temporary Team Leader.
—That is more than the triple of what we made, Shlõvthy.
—What?!, 9 Plates each do you say, i see, well played, next time make the travel as entertaining as this one.
And just like that he give everyone 9 Plates, except for Thyfall and the woman, they receive 12 Plates, and myself that gets 14 Plates because the Exoskeleton was taken by an alchemist or something like that.
—Lets eat together, My Not Friend pays!.
