Chapter 1591: Value For Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, when w.a.n.g Yu went online, the airs.h.i.+p had already thrown his character at an alley in Twilight City.
w.a.n.g Yu felt emotional looking at the familiar streets and the friendly eyes of Twilight City’s players.
Home sweet home.
The Korean server was nothing like this as players there even dared to rob in broad daylight. Twilight City’s security was so much better. Everyone got along and did not even quarrel.
Leaving the port, w.a.n.g Yu arrived in a small alley where Hermit had been waiting for a long while.
“Hehe! You are back!” Hermit was not drunk today and was in high spirits. Seeing that w.a.n.g Yu was here to submit his quest, he welcomed him with a bright smile.
.
“Yup!” w.a.n.g Yu nodded.
“Have you brought back what I asked for?” Hermit asked again.
“Brought it!” w.a.n.g Yu said factually.
“Then quickly give it to me.” Hermit shamelessly walked to w.a.n.g Yu and used his dirty claws to search w.a.n.g Yu.
However, w.a.n.g Yu slightly slanted his body and dodged from his claws.
“Why? Don’t you want to submit your quest?”
Seeing how w.a.n.g Yu repelled him, he asked in shock.
Road of the Brave was a double S quest chain which was hard to come by. Its rewards were, of course, very generous. w.a.n.g Yu put in so much effort to find all the items yet, he did not want to submit them so Hermit could not understand what w.a.n.g Yu was thinking.
“It’s not that…” w.a.n.g Yu shook his head and said, “What rewards are there for this quest?”
“Haha!”
Hermit was also a cunning guy so hearing what w.a.n.g Yu said, he smiled and said, “Are you bargaining with me? Just say what you want. If I can give it to you, I will.”
“Alright!”
w.a.n.g Yu heard him and welcomely said, “I want these four quest items.”
“Ah?”
Hearing what w.a.n.g Yu said, Hermit was even more puzzled so he curiously asked, “What do you need them for?”
“To forge an equipment!”
As w.a.n.g Yu spoke, he took out a blueprint.
“This… this is?”
Looking at the blueprint in w.a.n.g Yu’s hands, Hermit was stunned and was in disbelief.
After a long while, Hermit pointed at the blueprint and yelled, “This is the blueprint to forge the G.o.d-slaying Demon-killing Bow?”
“That’s right!”
w.a.n.g Yu nodded once more.
w.a.n.g Yu did not immediately submit his quest because according to the blueprint in his hands, to forge the equipment, the required main ingredients were the four quest items he had.
As a martial artist, the most important thing was to have a weapon he liked. As for his other equipment, they were less important to him.
Hence, to w.a.n.g Yu, all the equipment he had on him added up were still incomparable to the Martial Artist’s Regret he had in his hand.
Although Martial Artist’s Regret could be changed into different weapons, it did not have a bow form so that was w.a.n.g Yu’s regret all this while.
Actually, as a weapon, bows were not rare in the game but after being used to G.o.d-grade weapons, w.a.n.g Yu was not used to normal weapons. Good equipment was something that he could not buy so with such a blueprint, w.a.n.g Yu naturally wanted to forge a weapon he would like.
Double S-grade quests like Martial G.o.d’s Path were very rare and came with generous rewards but to players, the most attractive things were equipment and skills.
Skills wise, w.a.n.g Yu had sufficient at the moment and as for equipment, he was no short of G.o.d-grade weapons, except for one good bow.
Hence, w.a.n.g Yu was curious about what rewards this quest would give.
If it was a bow that suited him, w.a.n.g Yu would not need to forge one but if it was other weapons or equipment, w.a.n.g Yu would rather not complete this quest.
“I didn’t think that as Dales’ master, you even went to Dragon Island…” Hermit said without expectation.
“It was just a coincidence!” w.a.n.g Yu said, “So, what is the reward for this quest?”
“Erm…” Hermit said, “Honestly, this quest’s reward is the pa.s.s for Dragon Island. You can use the pa.s.s to complete a trial on Dragon Island and after that, you can pick a G.o.d-grade weapon blueprint for your main job.”
“Hmm…”
Hearing what Hermit said, w.a.n.g Yu gave it some thought then said, “Sir, I have been quite nice to you all along, right?”
“Yes!” Hermit did not deny that.
As a player, w.a.n.g Yu was cautious about his manners towards NPCs. Every time he looked for Hermit, he would not come empty-handed. Such a good boy was hard to find in a game as after all, to most players, job mentors were just an NPC who would give them quests and teach them skills.
“Then be honest with me!” w.a.n.g Yu said upsetly, “Are you lying to me?”
w.a.n.g Yu did a quest with Prairie Fire before. Although w.a.n.g Yu did not ask, Prairie Fire did reveal how he landed his hands on the access pa.s.s.
Prairie Fire got it by just saving an NPC but w.a.n.g Yu had to do an SS-grade quest to get it? w.a.n.g Yu would definitely not believe Hermit even if he said he was telling the truth.
w.a.n.g Yu had no complaints about how hard the quest was but to blatantly mess with him, he crossed w.a.n.g Yu’s line as he should not be bullying an honest man.
“Lying to you?”
Hermit smiled and said, “Of course not. You are my only student.”
“So you are dead set on lying to me?” w.a.n.g Yu angrily said, “When I was doing this quest, I met someone with the access pa.s.s.”
“So what!” Hermit reb.u.t.ted, “G.o.d-grade equipment are not all equal. In this world, you have to remember these three words.”
“Which three?” w.a.n.g Yu puzzledly said.
Hermit enunciated every word heavily and said, “Value, for, money!”
“You mean that I actually benefit from being cheated?” w.a.n.g Yu questioned with a frown after hearing those words.
“Haha!” Hermit laughed and said, “You understand things well!”
Hermit then said, “You aren’t exactly attractive so it is normal you get tougher quests. Furthermore, because of your unique ident.i.ty and job, the rewards you get are also different from normal players. Don’t be superficial. Just look at an example for novels. Why were Immortal Iron Bull’s ones so much better?”
“This…”
Hearing Hermit explain, w.a.n.g Yu paused for a while then said, “I see, I understand, so this quest’s reward is?”
“Nevermind about the rewards!”
w.a.n.g Yu waved his hand in dismissal and said, “Anyway, you need these four quest items for another quest! Since you already have the G.o.d-grade weapon blueprint, I shall take it that you did a materials quest. Come, pa.s.s me the materials.”
“En!”
w.a.n.g Yu took out the Dragon’s Reverse Scale, G.o.d’s Honour, Heart of Flames and Obsidian Stone, and pa.s.sed it to Hermit.
After Hermit received the materials, he spread open his left palm and laid the four materials on it. His right hand then gently rubbed across…
Instantly, gold, white, red and black rays of light shone out from Hermit’s palm.
Just then, w.a.n.g Yu received the quest completion notification.
