SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 76

Race Quests (1)

“uh ”

One of the secrets of Carus, ‘Engraving’, was not something that could be obtained only once, like the Hero’s Test. It is like a gift from the legendary hunter Carus, who is still alive today, and anyone can obtain it if he passes the ordeal.

For that reason, it became an essential engraving for archer-type users who aim for critical damage, and the acquisition method was widely known.

However, what Lokan was aiming for was a bonus attached to the “first” effect.

However, ‘growth’ was something that even Lokan could not think of.

It was surprising to absorb the corrupted power, but it was unexpected that the engraving could grow through this.

“More here”

As the effect of the initial bonus, it already has a tremendous ability of 10% critical strike chance and 50% critical damage increase. How far can it grow?

I don’t know how to absorb it, but considering the main scenario quest where I have to hunt a lot of corrupted monsters in the future, I was already looking forward to it.

[Cyarus’ ordeal has ended.][You will automatically leave the dungeon after 10 minutes. Please go ahead or be prepared.]

“It’s fun.”

The power to pierce the soul, the imprint of Carus, was acquired automatically, so there was nothing more to do.

After confirming that the engraving had been properly engraved, Lokan immediately tore the return scroll.

He returned to Crossroads again.

The atmosphere of Crossroads that returned like that had changed quite a bit.

Lost in a row to Ash Town. There was a gloomy atmosphere overall, probably because he had been pushed out to the vicinity of the city dozens of times, but it is now in a rather lively state, probably because of Rokhan’s activity.

“Hmm ”

In addition, Lokan’s shop was so crowded that it was difficult to enter.

Thanks to the expectation that I could do it too, many people wanted stronger gear to become like Rokhan.

It was also a hit because of the misunderstanding that the equipment feet had a big effect on Lokan’s strength.

‘Wow.’

Lokan, who stopped by the shop for a while to check the goods, screamed happily at the crowds on the 2nd and 3rd floors as well as the 1st floor.

Most of the expensive reinforced weapons and branded products had already been sold, perhaps even borrowing a loan from the bank.

Thanks to this, the accumulated gold is also at an amazing level.

Lokan, who recovered it, added more vending machine-type vendors on the first floor and filled them with goods.

They only bought items that were still undervalued, including crafting materials.

There is no need to open another store with a similar concept since the first store is earning enough money to spend right now.

As soon as I set it up and went to the website, I heard new news one after another.’I must have been inspired’

Perhaps he was stimulated by what he had done, it seemed that the battle was in full swing in other tertiary cities.

In order to become the second Rokhan, in order to bring the spotlight focused on Rokhan, many of the rankers have jumped into the war.

It was a job for both camps, so neither side seldom overwhelms, but the fact that they were wasted fighting each other was important.

And in the meantime, you can hit it yourself.

“It’s amazing to find a corrupted monster. I’m really talented. If you have this kind of talent, you can survive in ‘there’ with a little refinement.”

After completing the maintenance, Lokan immediately went to see the garrison commander Malkin.

He heard that there was a battle with the users of Ash Town, but instead of getting hurt, he had a very refreshing expression. Is it still a level 200 danger?

“Okay, let me teach you. Corrupted monsters are being secretly created by some faction. You can see how dangerous it is because they are found not only here, but also in the ‘central’. Our investigation team is investigating the cause and solution, and the group that did this, but no clue has come out yet. It is also because there is not enough data on the fallen monsters yet, so we are collecting more information on the location and body of the fallen monsters. Now that you are able to do your part properly, I hope you will actively cooperate. In that sense, I give you a special gift.”

[You have acquired the ‘Independent Mission Right’.]

“It’s a document that signifies the authority of the investigation team to carry out its mission alone. The investigation team, the city, or the lords may request it, but if you find a clue, you can receive a mission through it, so always have it with you.”

The sole mission right that Malkin handed over was simply a portable quest.

Is it an item that can automatically receive quests related to corrupted monsters from a distance?

There are quests that can be applied retroactively to obtain rewards, but there are also quests that do not, so the value of this item, which can be obtained from anywhere, was not low.

“thank you.”

Lokan took it and went out happily.

Until I reached a certain level again, all I could do was find and kill more corrupted monsters, but the quests were not just the main scenario quests.

“Isn’t it time to do that?”

The next place Rokhan moved to was the race building, and the human race building he had never visited yet.

Why did you come here without having to receive a separate ‘recognition quest’?

‘The race quest limit was definitely level 150’

It was to receive the ‘race quest’ to fulfill the aspirations of each race.

Of course, there were quite a few quests that could be received at the same level even if it wasn’t, but there were many meaningless things in terms of the growth rate of Lokan.

Because the amount of money earned from the shop was much higher than the rewards that could be obtained by completing the normal quest right away, and the experience gained was much better to do ‘Daksa’ in a higher area.

For that reason, Lokan decided to pass the normal quests as much as possible.

“Who are you?”

Upon entering the building of the human race, an old man who looked sloppy at first glance glanced at Lokan with skeptical eyes.

‘That emblem was on the Parliament side.’

Similarly, a quick scan of his attire, Lokan responded in a smoke-toned voice.

“Level 151 Jean Berserker Lokan. I came here to see if I could get the honor of helping those who are working for human prosperity.”

“Oh, what a young man with a good idea. Welcome!”

An old man with a color of harmony at the word level 151. Perhaps it would be nice to have a good worker to pamper.

It’s an obvious masterpiece, but even Lokan couldn’t help it. I don’t know if my name will go up and my rank will go up later, but I’m still in the position of a loyal worker.

“If you want to work for human prosperity, what kind of work would you like to ask… … . That’s right! That would be nice.”

[Hunting the Iron Turtle] [Quest]

Harban, a member of the Kinsington Council, has commissioned you to hunt the sturgeon on the east coast. Hunt the sturgeon that is interfering with the liner’s operation and bring back its carcass.

-Completion condition: corpse of an armored turtle 0/10

– Completion Reward: 10 Silver

‘Interfering with liner operation is a bummer.’

What Harban had asked for was to hunt an armored turtle.

It was unusual to bring a corpse instead of just hunting, but Lokan knew the reason.

‘It’s just for fun.’

The excuses are great, but the armored turtles rarely interfered with the actual operation of the liner. It’s really rare, and there’s no such thing as crashing and damaging the ship.

The real reason is that an old man with a flaky lower back is trying to feed himself with the body of an iron-clad turtle.

Also, his shell is a fairly expensive material for armor, so I’m going to touch the back a little bit.

Even if you separately slaughter and sell the corpse of the iron-clad turtle, you would get 50 silver instead of 10, but Lokan pretended not to know and closed her eyes.

Now is the time to build up the contribution of the ‘Parliament’.

After all, all the parliamentary figures in the tertiary city are like this. The tertiary city itself is just a ‘periphery’ in terms of the entire map, and being dispatched here means that it is close to delegation.

So the early quests were more like these miscellaneous errands.

Compensation is also paid with passion pay, and contributions to the council are increased, but there are also things that are not directly related to the council.

‘I’ll have to go to the center right now… … .’

But soon it will be over.

As Lokan’s level rises and he gets closer to the ‘center’, his attitude towards him will change.

Wouldn’t it be troublesome if news like this became known to the Congress in the Central Continent?

Lokan looked at that moment and decided to hold it in for the time being.

“I will go.”

Finding the sturgeon was not difficult. It’s not too far from the murloc’s wreck.

After moving at once using the rune book, he took out his horse and ran for a while, and a port appeared.

‘wait. I’ll be back soon.’

The port of Botez, where liners to the Central Continent run.

It was still a long way to level 200, but looking at it, I strengthened my will once again.

And the beach appeared. The black objects crawling up to the shore were the iron-clad turtles.

[Steel Turtle][Lv 153]

“charge.”

It is much faster than a normal tortoise, but since it is an armored tortoise that can be dropped by running with all its power, it could use a ranged attack such as bombing.

In fact, it is also the way most users hunted in their previous lives.

But in that case there was a problem. Because the shell of an iron-clad turtle is so hard, it takes too long.

It was even burdensome for Lokan.

So I chose to turn over.

“Ouch!”

Tendons rose from Rokhan’s forearm, and his face burned red.

Then the body of the iron-clad tortoise, as heavy as a solid rock, seemed to shake, and then slowly lifted up.

It’s only possible because it’s a Lokan.

Moreover, since this act itself is not recognized as an ‘attack’, it was not exposed to the strong bite attack of the sturgeon.

wiggle. Pangur.

Moments later, the body of the sturgeon was completely turned over. Her weak belly was exposed and her short legs struggled.

“Whoa, fatal blow!”

[critical!]

Turtle hunting has begun.

Its shell, as hard as iron armor, boasted a strong defense power that could withstand even Rokan’s axe several times, but its belly skin ruptured with just one axe.

Lokan was satisfied with the appearance of the iron-clad tortoise, which dies with an ax in the stomach several times with an axe, and opened the inventory.

[You have acquired the corpse of an armored turtle (quest).]

Originally, the entire body did not go into the inventory, but it was classified as a quest item and could be stored generously.

The next one, and the next one.

After turning over and repeating the ax several times, I was able to quickly fill the target quantity.

“Whoa, you’re tight.”

Lokan, who had lost so much strength, grabbed his trembling arms and calmed himself down, passed the armored turtle and walked towards the shore.

Did he suddenly want to swim or commit suicide?

No way. After approaching a certain point, Rokhan looked around and began digging up the ground with his hands.

“also.”

It was the place where the eggs of the iron-clad turtles were buried.

Rokhan, who had properly pointed it out, dug the ground with his two arms. I swept all the eggs of the Armored Turtle into the inventory.

Because the sturgeon’s egg itself is a great magic catalyst and the key to meeting someone.
