Absolute Person in Every Corner

[Episode 04] Quest Reward (3)

Busan.

It was a mountainous area with the Chinese character for mountain in its name.

In addition to this, as countless refugees flocked to Busan during the Korean War, one characteristic feature was that many households were formed in mountainous areas.

It was the form of a shantytown formed by refugees at first settled down, developed, and settled down to become a mountain village.

It was also an area where numerous alleys existed because of the shape of the houses that were attached to each other throughout the mountain.

“run!”

Ha Dong-gun’s party was moving quickly in a narrow alleyway, and behind them were dozens of goblins, madly following them.

The distance between the party and the goblin horde gradually decreased.

At that time, Deoksu Kang, who was running at the rear, turned his back and shouted.

“You bastards!”

Whoops!

Kang Deok-soo, who came out of the white light, appeared wearing a brilliant full body armor and halberd.

“Huh!”

He thrust his halberd at one of the goblins that was charging at him.

Fu-wook!

“Pretty much!”

The goblin stabbed by the halberd’s spear flew up into the air spewing blood.

However, it was useless to subdue only one of them.

The real scary thing about goblins was that they knew how to take advantage of the pack.

“Kieek-!”

“Kyaaagh!”

Two goblins attacked Deoksu Kang from both sides at the same time.

One of them was holding a sharp knife, which was quite dangerous.

however.

kang!

“Kyik?”

“Keck!”

In front of Kang Deok-soo’s full body armor, the goblin’s claws and kitchen knives did not work.

“Search!”

Chew!

In contrast, each time he swung the halberd held by Kang Deok-soo, he was definitely taking the goblin’s life.

The goblin’s blood splattered everywhere.

Awesome!

The goblins realized that it was pointless to attack Deoksu Kang only after losing a few of their comrades. The clever goblins immediately changed their tactics.

They ignored Kang Duk-soo and started passing him.

“These bastards!”

Kang Duk-soo blocked the narrow alley and tried to block it as much as possible, but he alone was not enough.

Fu-wook!

While he was killing one, three or four passed him and followed the others.

“Kiki!”

The goblins who had escaped from Kang Deok-soo laughed at him, but the laughter did not last long.

Fu-wook!

It was because the arrow Kim Ga-young shot neatly pierced the guy’s head.

“Never mind those who fall behind!”

“OK!”

Even if they managed to pass Kang Duk-soo, the goblins died in real time from the arrows fired by the rest.

Thanks to this, Kang Duk-soo was able to run freely.

“Come on!”

Awesome!

Under the protection of hard armor, the sight of him wielding his weapon unilaterally made the goblins gradually change their minds.

That’s because their number has been reduced to a dozen.

More than half of them had already been killed by Ha Dong-geon Party.

“Kik! Chick!”

“Kikiiik-!”

The goblins, feeling that the situation was at a disadvantage, began running.

However, the goblins’ operation was completely blocked from the start.

It’s because a black beast appeared from the alley on the other side and blocked the passage.

“Kuhhh!”

Oh Eon-joo, who had left for a while to clear up another group of goblins, joined later.

The goblin horde suddenly became surrounded from front to back, and from then on, the one-sided slaughter began.

“Kyaaagh!”

“Catch-in!”

A man in silver armor wielded a spear in front, and a black beast was tearing their comrade to pieces in the back.

This is a narrow alley.

The goblins had nowhere to run or hide.

Even if they tried to run away, arrows flying like ghosts took the lives of the goblins.

“Keeek!”

It only took tens of seconds for the dozen remaining goblins to be wiped out.

[Citizen Oh Eon-ju has completed the quest.]

‘Good. This time it’s a success.’

As a result of several experiments, I was able to find a point where hunting goblins did not cost money.

‘You have to hunt 100 goblins to earn 0 won. A little tougher than I thought?’

I was experimenting with when the basic salary of 30,000 won would disappear when the quest reward was not set.

The first 10 hunts that were given cost about 23,000 won, and the 30 hunts cost about 15,000 won.

So, to be precise, somewhere between 30 and 100 would be the point where the quest cost doesn’t go out.

[Citizen Oh Eon-ju has exhausted all available quests today.]

[Evaluate the quests performed by Citizen Oh Eon-ju.]

[······ Evaluation ·······]

Even while checking the notifications, the Absolute Eye skill was still maintained.

Now that he has gotten used to this state to some extent, it is possible to eat while maintaining the Absolute Eye skill.

slurp-

While eating ramen, Ha Dong-gun watched the party situation calmly.

As we passed through the alleys, we encountered a group of goblins from time to time, but there was no problem.

This is because Oh Eon-joo’s performance was overwhelming.

Kang Duk-soo and Moon Byeong-ho were also showing sufficient activity compared to the others, but they could not be compared to Oh Eon-joo.

That’s all she said, as she alone killed over 140 goblins.

‘It’s amazing.’

The figure of Oh Eon-ju, who turned into a humanoid, tearing a goblin to pieces, was close to just a beast.

That’s why, when Ha Dong-gun and the others saw her, they mistook her for a monster.

It seemed that they would reach the place where Moon Byung-ho’s grandmother was without too much trouble.

It was then.

[Citizen Gayoung Kim has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 2,142 won.]

“Two thousand won?”

Of course, it was not only Oh Eon-ju who granted the quest.

Ha Dong-gun gave the quest to hunt 10 goblins in common to all parties.

Quests with exactly the same content, time, rewards, and penalties.

However, the cost when Oh Eon-joo cleared the quest and when Kim Ga-young cleared the quest was so different.

I expected it to some extent, but it showed a bigger difference than I thought.

‘This made it clear. The efficiency varies greatly depending on the level of the person performing the quest.’

Oh Eon-joo, who is level 33, can barely cut the basic cost of 30,000 won by catching dozens of goblins, but Kim Ga-yeong can cut all the basic cost by catching only 10 goblins.

‘Quest given to Gayoung Kim, hunting 13 goblins.’

It was time to moderately increase the number of goblins and grant the quest again.

[Assessment complete.]

Owenju’s daily quest evaluation is over.

[132,966 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]

‘Eh?’

I tilted my head for a while at the unexpected reward.

In the case of Kang Deok-soo, who had all three quests related to strength, he gave a ‘small amount of strength’ as a reward.

Since all of the quests given to Oh Eon-ju were related to hunting goblins, I thought that a ‘small amount of experience’ would be given as a reward.

However, when I opened it, it was not experience but settlement money.

‘I think that’s strangely a lot. Are the additional rewards random?’

When I thought about it, I thought that this might be more natural.

Unlike Kang Duk-soo’s quest, which barely ordered push-ups and squats, Oh Eon-ju’s quest was to hunt down a total of 140 goblins.

‘I guess that’s how much the reward has grown.’

It was a time when I tried to pass it without thinking.

Finally, Ha Dong-gun’s party arrived near the house where Moon Byeong-ho’s grandmother lived, and Moon Byeong-ho even used a teleport to enter the house.

at the same time.

[Citizen Byungho Moon has completed the quest.]

[The quest costs 40,930 won.]

A quest completion alarm appeared.

Unlike the others, Moon Byeong-ho was given a quest under the condition that he would use teleport 10 times.

The reward was, of course, an increase in teleport skill.

It was all in order to develop Moon Byung-ho’s teleport ability as quickly as possible.

[Citizen Byungho Moon has exhausted all possible quests for today.]

[Evaluate the quests performed by citizen Moon Byeong-ho.]

[······ Evaluation ·······]

‘What kind of reward will come out this time?’

To be honest, I was looking forward to it a little.

Moon Byeong-ho was given quests related to skills in bulk. The reward was also to raise the skill of teleport.

Considering that there were additional rewards related to the quest contents, it was clear that it would increase skill proficiency.

‘Shops and warehouses don’t really have anything to say about proficiency, so will the proficiency of maintaining dignity or the Eye of the Absolute go up?’

In the case of maintaining dignity, it was a skill in which proficiency was surprisingly important.

I felt the importance of this when I was hunting goblins.

The moment I discharged electricity to hunt goblins, I realized another possibility of maintaining dignity.

‘It definitely felt like I could control it with my own power to some extent.’

When the current was released towards the goblins, it felt as if the will to emit electricity was being realized.

In fact, the electricity supply is being controlled with the Dignity Maintenance skill, so it may not be an illusion.

I was convinced that if the proficiency increased, more things would become possible.

‘It would be useful to increase the skill level of the Absolute Eye.’

At first, it was difficult to take other actions when using the Eye of the Absolute.

Now he uses the eyes of the Absolute and even eats rice.

In the future, as your skill level increases, you will naturally maintain the eyes of the Absolute as if you are breathing.

‘Or is that the newly acquired skill?’

As the proclamation reached the 7th level, one more new skill was created.

Absolute Health (Passive) Lv. One

– Greatly increases immunity.

I hadn’t thought of it as such a good skill yet.

As for the effect of increasing immunity, it was only about not getting sick easily, and there was little concern about secondary infections caused by germs when wounds occurred.

‘It’s just that the potential seems great.’

Among the skills that have been released so far, this is probably the most anticipated.

The reason was simple.

‘This, if I raise the level, won’t something like immortality pop out?’

At level 1, it was only an increase in immunity, but no one knew how it would change as the skill level grew.

‘It’s all good, but in the end, his skill points are the problem.’

skill points.

Of course, in order to upgrade the performance of skills, you had to raise the level.

Clearly, there were no newly acquired skill points even though the level of the declaration of the house was raised to 7 through the sheep hunt.

‘It seems like they give 3 skill points for every 5 levels…’

That said, in order to receive skill points, it was necessary to raise the declaration level to 10.

‘Even then, they’ll only give you three, right?’

To be honest, it was too tight.

Now that the shop’s item registration slot is almost full, one must invest in the shop.

Because there are overflowing things to register in the future.

‘If that happens, there will be 2 points left.’

There are few points left, but there are too many skills I want to invest in.

The most curious skill was the maintenance of dignity skill.

Even the power to control infrastructure such as electricity, water, and gas was great.

However, when I reached the 2nd level, it was the skill that came out.

‘It’s a skill that mass-produces psychic powers.’

Although there are conditions such as reliability and loyalty, being able to grant superpowers in a world like this is a huge advantage.

Just looking at Kang Deok-soo, who is active against the goblins, I could feel that there is a real difference between having a superpower and not having one.

‘Honestly, it would be beneficial even if the limit of vassal registration was increased.’

Currently, there are 10 people who can register as vassals.

Even if it only increased the number of vassals that could be registered without adding other functions, it was well worth the skill point investment.

‘ha. What’s the use of thinking about it like this? I still have a long way to go to level 10 anyway.’

At that time, when I felt skeptical about the sudden appearance of Hyeonta, the evaluation of Moon Byeong-ho’s daily quest was finally over.

[Assessment complete.]

‘Now, which skill will you raise the proficiency of?’

The time when I was waiting for a reward with a heart full of expectations.

[Jackpot won!]

[Congratulations.]

[Acquire skill points.]

‘What? Jackpot?’

It was the appearance of a notice that I could not have imagined at all.

‘Skill points come from here?’

I was so surprised that I forgot to maintain the Eye of the Absolute skill before I knew it.

While blankly looking at the message in front of me, I turned on the skill window and checked it.

[Possessed Skill Points: 1]

The corner of my mouth looking at it indicated 10:10.

“…that’s great.”
