Free Web NovelChapter 18: Ch 18: 100x Return Is Live
Raidan stood waiting by a bakery stall. The kind-looking woman at the bakery looked at him weirdly, noticing that he wasn’t buying anything at all.
Feeling awkward, Raidan bought a piece of bread for 10 bronze coins.
Just as he chewed on it, savoring the sweetness on his tastebuds, the system suddenly issued a warning.
[ Quest Taker 1 Completion Rate: 67% ]
[ Host is advised to prepare the material rewards. Failure to deliver the rewards will result in zero returns. Reputation will hit a negative mark. ]
"Cough!" Raidan nearly choked on the bread.
"Do you need water, my dear?" the woman asked.
After somehow gulping down the remains, he frantically shook his head. "No, I’m fine."
Then, inwardly, he asked the system, System, do you mean to say I need to prepare those rewards manually?
The system replied, [ "Correct. That is the most natural process. However, non-material rewards are out of this equation. For now, the Host just needs to prepare 10 silver coins and an F-tier Wooden Sword." ] ƒrēewebnovel.com
Raidan sighed. He had initially thought the rewards would be given out automatically, just as the system gave them to him. But apparently, it was different when he handed out the quests himself. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Although, it made sense. That little boy would obviously come to get the physical rewards directly from him.
With that matter settled, he hurriedly went to a weapon shop and bought a wooden training sword for 2 silver coins.
Before he left, the shopkeeper made him a generous offer.
"Young man, why are you still going after a wooden sword? Why not check out our finest Mythril sword? It doesn’t cost much, just 500 gold coins. I know it’s a little high, but it’s only proper for a young warrior such as yourself."
His slimy flattery didn’t work on Raidan, though.
"No, thanks."
He left the shop as quickly as he had come.
Afterward, he returned to the exact spot where he had assigned the quest.
This time, he didn’t have to wait long.
The little boy, Leo, could be seen running toward him at full speed. He stopped, huffing for breath, sweat running down his face as if he had just run a marathon.
Maybe four hours was too little time for the boy?
Raidan felt a twinge of guilt.
Nonetheless, with a bright smile on his face, Leo extended his hands, offering him the glowing items.
"I have done it, mister. Please take a look."
Raidan picked up the slime cores with great care.
He then offered a wide sime at Leo.
"Young Adventurer, you have done a magnificent job. You have explored the dangerous wilderness and brought me exactly what I needed to lift the curse."
Saying that, Raidan reached into his cloak and pulled out the 10 silver coins and the newly purchased wooden sword, offering them to the panting boy.
"As promised, here is your reward. May this blade serve you well on your future journeys."
Leo’s eyes widened with awe. He took the coins and the wooden sword as if he were receiving a holy relic from a legendary king.
The moment the items changed hands, his body glowed once with golden light.
[ Level Up! ]
"Oww oww, I leveled up! Thank you so much, Mister Swordsman! You’re the best!"
Without wasting another second, the boy bowed deeply and ran off toward the City square.
While running he passionately swung his new wooden sword through the air.
Raidan watched him go, smiling faintly.
Two silver coins for the sword and ten silver coins for the reward. He had spent 12 silver in total.
It was a minuscule investment, but now it was time to see the true power of his SSS+ Class.
Almost immediately, several more notifications passed before his eyes.
[ System Alert: Quest Seeker ’Leo’ has successfully completed your assigned quest! ]
[ Calculating Originator Returns... ]
[ Seeker’s Received Rewards: 150 Exp, 1) Silver Coins, 1x Trainee’s Wooden Sword ]
[ Rolling SSS+ Multiplier... ]
[ ... ]
[ Ding! A 60X Multiplier has been achieved! ]
Seeing this, Raidan’s heart pounded in his chest .
Sixty times?
[ Applying Returns: ]
[ Experience: ] 150 Exp x 60 = +9,000 Exp!
[ Currency: ] 10 Silver Coins x 60 = 600 Silver Coins (Automatically converted to 6 Gold Coins)!
[ Item Quality Evolution Triggered! ]
[ Notice: The 60x multiplier on the ’Trainee’s Wooden Sword’ has triggered a Rarity Evolution instead of a Quantity Multiplier. ]
[ Reward Received: 1x Mythril Sword (D) ]
[ Player Name: Apollo ]
[ Level Up! ]
[ You have reached Level 11! ]
[ Level: 11 | Exp: 4,500 / 7500 ]
After reading all these carefully. Raidan stood speechless in the middle of the bustling street.
His mind blanked out for a second.
"Nine thousand experience? 1 level-up in an instnat? 6 gold coins and a D-tier sword?"
It was simply unbelievable.
He had risked his life for fourteen hours in the Ice Wolf dungeon, freezing his bones and nearly getting his head bitten off, just to scrape together 3,000 experience points and a handful of silver.
And now, just by standing on a street corner, handing out a fake story and spending seven measly silver coins, he had earned triple the experience and a magical weapon in a matter of hours.
With a simple thought, he accessed his inventory.
[ Inventory ]
1. Mythril Sword.
[ Attack Power: 50 ]
[ Durability: 500/500 ]
[ Weight: 4 kg ]
[ Mana Conductivity: +150%]
[ Critical Strike Chance: +10% ]
[ Attack Speed: +15%]
Sure enough, the Mythril sword was right in the inventory.
It was a completely blood red double edged sword with a cross shaped hilt for comfortability.
And obviously it was far stronger than the Forst Steel Sword he received from the Dungeon.
Raidan gulped hard.
"This class... It’s completely broken."
If he could farm players like this, utilizing their time and effort while he reaped these crazy rewards, he would be unstoppable.
Just then, suddenly a figure pulled on his tunic.
"Excuse me, do you know the way to City guards? Some people are chasing me!"
Raidan looked at stranger’s face. She was a charming young woman with chestnut hair.
And she looked greatly in distress. More importantly she was a player.
Raidan’s smile turned cunning, sensing another opportunity.
"Of course, dear adventurer. But first would you like to help me with something.... "
