Accepting the commissioned quest was simple enough, regardless of the multiple stats change; not surprising considering the request came from a vampire.
“Wah! Reputation dropped.”
After Weed had accepted the quest, Surka bellowed; while the remaining other people shown vexed expressions. Gaining fame was a tough road; one could be grinding mobs or repeating the same quests for weeks or so to raise 200 Reputations.
There were also the declines of Faith and Luck, but the amounts were laughable comparing to Reputation. And since the Reputation had a direct correlation to the quests one may takes, while acquiring 2nd job, and 3rd job also required a certain amount of rep, the loss was quite huge.
Geomchi seriously inquired.
“Weed.”
“Yes?”
“If this continues to be the case, what would happen if our REP hits zero?”
Though Geomchis’ reputations were not terribly high, the resulted loss still wasn’t that big of a problem. In fact, Weed concluded that there would be some kind of penalty when accepting the quest.
‘A level B quest offered without doing familiarity works such as quests beforehand, so the loss in fame in the land of vampires isn’t a significant problem.’
Originally Weed was going to tell them the damages were not a big deal, but he decided to say something casually to prevent them from accepting fraudulent offers.
“Well, Weapon shops aren’t going to sell us good weapons.”
“Why?”
“They’ll say the no-REP and anonymous doesn’t deserve good weapons.”
“……”
Geomchi’s greed for good weapons would not lose to anyone; so in actuality, the fact that he might not be able to purchase good weapons to further his arsenal caused him considerable sadness. Geomchi3 then asked.
“But that doesn’t mean our only option was to buy them from weapon shops. Can’t we just order blacksmiths to make them directly?”
“Problem is blacksmiths will be even more difficult since they got more pride; since they make their weapons on their own, they want to put them in the hands of celebrities. And if our fame falls while those prices rise, it’ll be even harder.”
Geomchi3 forced a smile.
“We’ll probably be able to endure it.”
They can still buy weapons through Weed or Mapan.
To have blacksmiths to create custom-made weapons uniquely matches their personal preferences would be great, but not a primary concern. Also, blacksmiths can be bought at a premium price if they had truly desire to create their personal gears.
Weed, again, tried to make it a big deal.
“Will also be tricky if you want to enter a restaurant.”
“Wh…why’s that?”
“A reputable restaurant isn’t going to let just anyone in.”
“Euheuheuk.”
Geomchi3 agonized over it.
The need to suppress his appetite was a long and insufferably painful road. In fact, the foods in Royal Road were something to alleviate the throbbing called forth by his strict diet.
“Com’on, fame was that important?”
“Noone said it’d bring this kind of trouble?”
The others practitioners also churned.
Their spirits, broken!
Weed then turned to his simplest method.
“Hyungs!”
“……?”
“Battle! It’s time to rescue the vampire beauties. And then…in consolidation…”
“In consolidation…”
Kkolkaa!
All of them essentially drooled. Throughout faces of the practitioners, all of which formed an easy to read poker face.
‘This is not the time to care about something like that!’
‘I will be the first man to get……’
‘Gotta hurry! Damsel in distress!’
Weed did not continue. Just a hint here and there will get results!
“Whoaaaa!!!”
The students bellowed as they charged across the field toward the village, followed by the teachers. As to not be outdone, the teachers also vented their voices.
“MOVE! I will get Roselyn!”
“Your rank’s below me! Follow and pay attention!”
“Brother, why would ranking authority matters here!? There’s a woman in trouble!!”
Both teacher and student practitioners rallied while rushing!
“Get out my way! IT’S SUPER URGENT!”
Geomchi too, ran like the wind.
Female vampires were monsters that closely resembled humankind, and tend to quite pretty.
Unlike the High Elves and Wood Elves whom were innocently charming, the female vampires had the enticing and sensual body figures.
The captured Vampire Queen Roselynn that was awaiting rescue had the figure that could not lose.
Surka sighed deeply.
“They’re hopeless.”
Romuna too, furrowed her brows.
“Men are all the same.”
Still, the macho and tough looking Geomchis jumped at the chance to rescue the vampire queen was a disappointing sight beyond belief.
Meanwhile, the strides of Geomchi2 and Geomchi16 remain unchanged.
Maylon was quite curious as to why.
“Geomchi16-nim, why aren’t you going with them to the rescue?”
Her impression of Geomchi16 within the Geomchi’s group was similar to the ridges in one’s hand, just one line of many. The ridges in the hand that belonged to one of the nephew weeping loudly, while he amongst many others holding out that hand on the first day of the New Year.
Geomchi16 replied with a bright smile.
“I’m sending whispers with my girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend?”
Everyone’s eyes were widening in amazement.
Geomchi16 has a girlfriend!
The possibility was too hard to believe.
This was the first time amongst the Geomchi group that there was the mention of a girlfriend, so it sounded unbelievable.
“I cant believe what he’s saying.”
“Could he have some sort of dementia?”
“To be talking to an imaginary person, could he have been…”
“Don’t talk like I was abducted!”
A bunch of speculations came about, and as Maylon worded her own theory, his outburst caused her to choke on her words. She then painfully asked.
“Can you tell me what happened when you met her?”
“I knew her since the battle with the dragon. Her name is Libian. Isn’t it a beautiful name? HAHAHAA!!”
A good event happened to Geomchi16 that noone else knew.
He devoted the last bar of his life fighting to add a friend. A dream then was made into reality by her. She sent him a whisper after they parted. He was quite clumsy, but Libian was comforted to find Geomchi6 to be honest and trustworthy, and extremely entertaining.
He was then looked up by the Geomchis, the act was something worth imitating!
Hence, they all rushed forward like crazy to save the female vampire.
Maylon eyes blinked with admiration.
“Of course I understand! The trait of being dependable, of course this will make you popular. Oh, and by the way, Geomchi2 nim, why aren’t you rushing in to battle?”
“I’m here to keep her accompanied.”
Geomchi2 drew his sword and stood beside Seechwi to keep watch.
Tall fat female Orc and human!
Geomchi2 muscular body and at a stuttering two meters tall, was still slightly smaller in comparison to Seechwi. So to say he was going to watch over her may sounded a bit unusual, but he still remained static to take care of Seechwi.
“Geomchi2 nim! Chwiik, chwiyiit!”
Seechwii didn’t know what kindness meant while in this second body.
The parties she was in before were filled with bitterness!
Having good people didn’t mean the status quo were evenly distributed; in fact, the loot and experienced she acquired were at the size of a bedbug comparing to the bed itself. Unable to be let in battles, she was only allowed the job of a porter, carrying luggage around.
