Chapter 9: Complete quests and level up

I forgot about it yesterday, but thanks to the medicinal herbs I received as the quest reward, my gathering request is complete. I need to report it.

It takes less than five minutes from my field to reach the Adventurer's Guild. As I thought, my farm location is very strategic.

"Eeto, Quest Completion Report......."

I select the item to be delivered from my status screen and confirm.

[Quest completion confirmed. You will be paid.]

The 5 herbs disappeared from my storage, and I received 50 G. The mission is accomplished.

My base level has been raised to Lv2. I have earned 2 bonus points.

Oo, I leveled up. At the same time, I also got bonus points.

These bonus points are the same as the ones I used when I was creating my character. I can use them to learn skills or to raise my status.

Thanks to the title I received, I got 4 bonus points. Now I can get the skill I wanted!

I immediately used my bonus points to get the Farming skill. I have been relying on Orto to do the farming, but I also wanted to help him.?If you're not reading this novel at the lupus sensei dot com site, that's mean you are not supporting my translation. Please only read at lupus sensei website.?I don't want my farm's product quality to drop because of me, and I think I'll need this skill in the future.

[Your job level has been raised to Lv.2.]

Hoho, my job level also raised at the same time. I wonder if there are any quests I can take at this pace. I checked the quest board, but it is difficult to find a good one. Even the gathering quests for novices are life-threatening for me.

"Hmmm. The other quests are....... No, wait. I remember the farming guild staff said something about the quest."

That's right. When I registered at the farming guild, the old man at the reception told me about their quest board. So I must go there.

I also need to visit the Beast master's guild. It's supposed to be my main guild, but I never went there yet.

"OK. First, let's visit the Beast master's guild."

The Beast Master's Guild is just a ten-minute walk from the Adventurer's Guild, near the border between South and West Wards.

"Hello!"

"Yes, welcome!

Oo, the NPC at the reception desk, is a very cute girl. She looks like a goddess, with a bombshell body and beautiful black hair. It is very different from the farming guild. Yay, we're the winners!

Their building is not so big compared to the farming guild, but inside is more spacious. It also has a large open space outside, which gives a great impression.

It also has a second floor. The sign says "Egg incubation room". In contrast to the Summoner's monster combine system, the tamer has a system called "monster soul breed". It's a system where two monsters that are compatible with each other are mated to produce an egg. Some monsters are born with high stats from the beginning, and some are born as new species.

It seems that it rarely happens when two monsters that are compatible with each other are breed naturally at home. Unlike monster combine, it is difficult for the tamer to breed souls.

And to hatch the eggs, you need an incubator in the guild or home. Maybe I can use it too if I can tame another one. Just wait, 2nd floor!　I'll be back soon!

By the way, the basement is the monster combining room. I guess the Summoners will go there.

Well, for now, let's check their quests.

"Excuse me, where's the quest board?"

"The quest board is over there."

It's so tiny. It's only about 1/20th the size of the Adventurer's Guild. Anyway, let's check the quest list. Other than gathering quests, there are also special quests such as taming particular monsters.

"Are!??There's a red one. There's also a blue one."

Usually, they're written in black, but some quests are written in red and some in blue.

"Why are these letters written in different colors?"

"Yes. Quests written in blue are those that have been completed. Quests written in red are quests with restrictive completion conditions."

"Restrictive completion?"

"For example, if you have an item to deliver, but you are currently not bringing it and need to go home to get it."

"I see."

"Another example, if you have a special quest that requires you to acquire a certain skill, which can be accomplished quickly by using bonus points."

After hearing that, I checked the blue quest.

Special Quest

Ee?　Really?　I can easily raise my servant monster's magic level with my initial bonus points. Is doping also OK?　Well, it's like a godsend for me, so I don't mind. I quickly select the quest.

[You have met the requirements. Do you wish to complete the quest right now?]

"Yes."

"Your base level has increased to Lv3. You have earned 2 bonus points."

"Your job level has been raised to Lv.3."

"Let's check the others!"

No more blue quests, but there are three red ones.

Special Quest

Description: Show Barbara a level 5 monster.

Reward: 500 G

Deadline: None

Special Quest

Description: Show Barbara a unique monster

Reward：3000 G

Deadline: None

Special Quest

Description: Show Barbara a monster that has learned a rare skill or an ex skill.

Reward：5000 G

Deadline: None

First of all, who is Barbara?

"Excuse me, who is Barbara?"

"That's me."

"Aa, I see.?Ee?　So I just need to show you the monster?"

"Yes! I love monsters! I want to see rare monsters, cute monsters, cool monsters, I want to see them all!"

Suddenly her tension jumped up.

"So please come and show me your interesting monster!　I'll pay for it."

Isn't that a completely personal thing for the guild?　Is that OK?　Well, I don't mind. The rewards are good. But it looks like I'll have to bring Orto here.

"He is working on the farm now, so maybe later."

Next is the farming guild. But unfortunately, the farming guild doesn't have any instant quests I was hoping for. Well, that's not surprising. After all, I'm not a real farmer.

Even so, I searched for quests that I can complete, and I found 3 quests that I can complete soon.

Special Quests

Description: Achieve 10 different varieties of cultivation on your farm.

Reward: 1000 G

Deadline: None

Special Quest

Description: Harvest and deliver ★ 5 or higher quality crops from your farm.

Reward：3000 G

Deadline：None

Special Quest

Description: Deliver a tree that has been cultivated on your farm.

Reward：5000 G

Deadline: None

Aside from the peach, which I don't know how long it will take to harvest, I have 6 kinds of ★ 3 crops on my farm. If I can buy some new seeds, I may be able to complete this quest pretty soon. Though, the tree growing completely depends on Orto's effort.

What should I do now?

After all, the basic is gathering ....... There are many low-level quests. Most of them are gathering quests. But if I die just after entering the forest for a short while, that will be very inefficient.

"For now, I want to get an armor. A good one, even if it's not a silver threaded robe."

Another thing I'm worried about is the goods prices. Are all stores selling the same goods at the same price?　Or is the price different depending on the store? This is quite important, because the price of the potions I make may change.

"As I remember, there are stalls in the square."

There are several small squares in each block, east, west, north, and south. As I remember there are several stalls in the central square where the clock tower is located, the south small square and the west small square.

From here I think the nearest one is the south small square.　I go there, and as I remember, there are about 10 NPC stalls doing business. Not only weapon stalls and medicine shops, but also stalls selling food and fishing tools.

The medicine's price is the same in every store. I guess it doesn't matter where I buy or sell it.

I go around the square while eating a grilled rabbit skewer that I bought at a stall because I was attracted by the smell.

"Yum, yum, delicious!　This skewer is delicious!　Both the salt and the sauce are superb!"

How good are the ingredients in the early stages of the game? If the NPCs can cook such delicious food, how delicious will player-cooked food be?　Since I have the cooking skill, one day I will get the ingredients and....... As I am walking and thinking about all these things, someone approaches me from my side.

"Hey, Onii-san! Would you like to take a look for a moment?"

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yup, that's right."

Her voice sounds a bit suspicious, but I couldn't help to look back at the shopkeeper. It's one of the men's pathetic natures. Standing there is a girl with flaxen hair and cat ears.
