"Bingooo . . . " Pedro shouted inwardly upon seeing tents and wooden fence from far away . . .
"That should be their camp . . " He pondered . . .
"Hmm . . . Let me check how much time I have left . . " he opened the player interface and check the quest details .
[Quest: Scouting Duty!
Rating: B-rate
Mission: Scout the whereabouts of the Trolls who took the wife and daughter of the village chief .
Duration: 6 minutes left]
[Quest: Rescue! Rescue!
Rating: rate
Mission: Rescue the village chief"s wife and daughter from the trolls and escape without dying .
Duration: 16 minutes left]
"Wait . . . I spotted the camp of the trolls already . . . why didn"t I receive a notification from the system that the quest has been completed?" Pedro started to panic realizing that the system has not informed him the completion of the quest and the timer is still running .
"Does this mean, I am supposed to return to the village to report to the chief???"
"I can"t return . . it would take me 2 minutes to return to the ambush site and 5 minutes to the village from the ambush site . . " Pedro keep panicking when a sudden commotion happened in the troll camp .
A little girl ran out on one of the tents in the troll camp . unfortunately, a troll was guarding outside and kicked the little girl back to the tent . At this moment, the system suddenly sounded and shocked Pedro .
[Quest: Scouting Duty!]
[Completed!]
[You have found the location of the trolls and the wife and daughter of Chief Antonio Kagat!]
"What??? Years of experience . . yet . . . it"s not enough . . . I must not underestimate the system . . " The system always gave tricky quests . In this case, Pedro really found the camp and the trolls, but he didn"t see the chief"s wife and daughter . . so, the system didn"t consider the quest finished because what he scouted was "the camp of the trolls" and not the "location of troll who took the wife and daughter of the chief" .
Pedro was shocked but the system did not stop . . .
[Generating Rewards!]
[Reward:
~Scout 1~ skill book
100 Reputation points of Kagat Village
20 Bronze Coins]
[Congratulations Player "Death" for obtaining 200/1000 Reputation points of Kagat Village!]
The buff Pedro got raised the 100 reputation points he got as a reward to 200 . Pedro knew from his past life, that if his reputation points were raised to 1000/1000, the village chief will make a recommendation letter that will allow Pedro to enter a Kingdom the Kagat Village is affiliated .
Villages on Bearth does not have any requirements for entry . However, the Kingdoms require a recommendation letter or Players must pay a high price of 2 gold per entry . This is the reason why on the official release of Bearth, other than "skills hunting" and leveling, players also focused on getting recommendation letters from the villages .
The system finally stopped . Pedro hurriedly opened his inventory and used the ~Scout 1~ skill book .
[You have learned ~Scout 1~ skill]

Rarity: Bronze-rated Skill
Skill Type: Active

[A Skill required to learn skill ~Scout 2~]
"Not bad . . . This skill would be a great help if I have to rescue the wife and daughter of the chief . . " Pedro gazed upon his newbie sword and checked its properties for the first time .
[Newbie Sword]
Rating: Bronze-rated weapon
Level Requirement: 1
Attributes:
Attack Damage +1
[Default weapon was given to players]
Cannot be Traded
. . . .
"Haist . . . All I can do is to utilize everything I have . . . The village army might be on their way . . "
"Trolls are slow walkers, right? Though they pack large damage, their movement speed is a bit low compared to humans . . . plus, I have ~Scout 1~ skill . . "
"At most, I can carry one person . . so, I need to rescue them one at a time and wait 5 minutes until ~Scout 1~ has finished its cool down . . . This might work . . . I"ll grab the little girl first . . . She is probably lighter than her mother . . . Also, I"m not sure if her mother is in the same tent . . . I have not seen any sign of her since then . . "
Pedro activated the [Potion Injector] and selected the [Intermediate Potion] . This way, once he took damage and his HP drops below 20%, Potion Injector will automatically consume an Intermediate Potion instead of him manually using the potion . This is why he purchased it instead of an additional 10 more Intermediate Potions . He then jumped lightly, to loosen a bit before he starts the rescue mission .
"Luckily . . all I need to do is rescue and not kill anything . . . I don"t think I can kill anything with this sword . . "
"Let"s start" "~Scout 1~ Activate!!!" Pedro shouted . . . The nearby trolls patrolling looked at the direction of Pedro and started running like a predator that has seen its prey .
[~Scout 1~ Activated!]
[Player gained a 10% increase in movement speed and increase vision by 100 m for 30 seconds!] Pedro smiled, as the Trolls approach him slowly, as he had expected .
He dashed forward, outrunning the Trolls while smacking his sword lightly to the body of the Trolls he pa.s.sed . Although his damage was just 1, It will ensure that the aggro of the Trolls would be focused into him . and when he successfully rescued the two, He was a.s.sured that no Trolls will chase them .
"Wait for a second . . why didn"t I think it sooner . . . If I have the aggro, the Trolls will follow me . . . right?"
He opened the player interface and checked how many seconds were left on ~Scout 1~ . By this time, He already entered the camp and took the aggro of all the Trolls he pa.s.sed on the way .
"I have 10 seconds left, hmm . . . " He looked back and saw a huge gap between him and the Trolls .
[~Scout 1~ skill duration has ended!]
His speed slowed down a little bit but the Trolls were still not able to close the gap . Fortunately, He was just meters away from the tent where the little girl was located .
He quickly entered the tent and was shocked by what he saw . The little girl was hugging her mother and both of them are in the corner shaking from fear . Beside them was what made Pedro"s eyes s.h.i.+ne! It was the two treasure chests that were s.h.i.+ning brightly! He ignored the two people and went straight to the treasure chest .

"Go outside now!! Hide in a corner for a second and when all of the Trolls entered this tent . . run back to where you were ambushed earlier . . . chief and the village army is on their way here!" Pedro shouted to the two while he was about to touch and open the treasure boxes .
[Gold-rated treasure chest detected . . ]
[You don"t have a key to the treasure chest! would you like to forcefully open the chest? Yes or No?]
"What about you?" the kid shouted while staring at back of Pedro like he was some kind of a hero . It looked cooler because of the treasure chests that were s.h.i.+ning brightly and looked like some kind of special effects .
"The Trolls are after me, leave now or you"ll miss the chance to escape!" Hearing the response of Pedro, the mother pulled his daughter out of the tent . . .
"Yes! open that treasure chest!!" Pedro shouted like a greedy person . Then he felt something in his hands and saw a blue aura going out of his hands to the treasure chest .
[Please don"t move! Opening treasure chest on going! 5%]
"@@@@!" Pedro can"t help but curse . He can now hear the footsteps of the Trolls signifying that they were just meters away from him .
. . . .
[Please don"t move! Opening treasure chest on going! 50%]
*Grrr . . . Grr . . . Grr . . . Grrr . . . The angry Trolls appeared and went inside the tent one by one .
"@@@@! I am dead! my greed . . . . really got me this time!" He cried while thinking that if he just keeps running after he told the wife and the daughter of the chief, he would have safely escaped unharmed with them .
He was already surrounded, there"s no use running, so he just decided to finish opening the chest . If he is lucky enough, he might get something from it and escape from his current predicament .
"Grrruuuurr!" The Trolls that were about to smash Pedro halted upon hearing the voice from the outside . . .
[Please don"t move! Opening treasure chest on going! 90%]
"Come on faster! faster!!!" Pedro shouted inwardly like his life is on the line . But at the moment, the trolls inside the tent move aside giving way in the middle heading straight to Pedro . A Troll bigger than the others entered the tent and walked straight to Pedro .
"A troll commander!!" Pedro"s face sunk as he saw the giant Troll .
"My bad luck from my previous life is starting to come back!"
