Chap 32's
...~•~...
"Hey, You ..." As he is about to come out to harass Huroi, Rous is taken into custody by Khan.
"Give it to me." Khan sent Rous a grateful look before approaching Huroi. Then he nodded. “Your words are right. It will be good for our future to coexist with big companies.”
What'd he say?
Buzz.
People were annoyed once Khan, who hated the Mero Company more than anyone else, backed Huroi's claim. Naturally, all eyes and ears were focused on Khan.
Then Khan said, "If Winston does not belong to Earl Steim, we will choose to coexist with the Mero Company as you suggested."
His words are full of meaning.
Huroi. "If it doesn't belong to Earl Steim...?"
"Yes. The important thing is that this village belongs to Earl Steim. I don't know where you came from, but there is a local law called 'People's Rights'. This was a law that Earl Steim himself applied because he valued people. This is one of the provisions of this law. 'Residents of the Earl Steim territory have the right to be informed sooner than anyone else about their territory of residence.'" Khan explained the meaning of this provision.
“Have you heard about how the pioneering age in the north was? The north has a bad climate and lots of monsters. At this time, many pioneers were struggling. What happens when new land is pioneered?”
“...Automatically, it will have a big impact on the nearest city and village,” Huroi said.
Khan nodded in satisfaction with Huroi's words. "Yes that's right. Then what is responsible for Winston's current development? Roads were repaired and transportation was added. Why are roads repaired and transports equipped? The reason is, the new land was pioneered not far from here. Winston will be the bridge between this new land and the capital. Do you understand? The north changes all the time. People in the north may be marred by sudden changes. ”
Then Khan cut in to talk. “This is the reason for the stipulation that Earl Steim residents have the right to be notified of their territory of residence sooner than anyone else. That is so that people can prepare for sudden changes, and we can minimize damage or maximize profits.”
Huroi found the core of this explanation. “Winston residents should benefit from development, not the Mero Company. You suffer a loss and this goes against Earl Steim's will. You have a duty to fight against the tyranny of the Mero Company, as well as the ruler of Winston who gave them information instead of the inhabitants of Winston ... Is my interpretation correct? "
"That's right. We must not compromise with the Mero Company. It's not for our own benefit. As his people, we also do not wish to betray the will of Earl Steim. We must accuse Mr. Winston kot and the Mero Company, which is against the wishes of Earl Steim.”
Indeed, it is a perfect justification. People shouted in excitement at Khan's words; they cheered. Everyone was united in their determination to face the Mero Company.
Huroi exclaimed in a loud voice, “The evil deeds of city lord Winston and the Mero Company must be reported to Earl Steim! But you are under the tutelage of the kot lord and cannot appeal with Earl Steim. Leave me! I will do my duty and tell Earl Steim about the incident in Winston! To Winston! For you! For the sake of Earl Steim's honor, I will sue the city lord Winston!"
"thank you. I'll trust you and wait.”
'Eh?'
It was clear that Huroi had just received a quest from Khan. Still, isn't that weird? Usually, when an NPC gives a user a search, the user will passively receive it. However, this does not give the impression of passive search. Instead, it felt like Huroi was persuading Khan to give him a quest.
'No way,' thought Rous and rushed after Huroi, who had left the workshop. "Hey!"
Huroi looked at Rous with a very cynical expression. It was inconsistent with Huroi's enthusiastic appearance in the workshop, so Rous thought he was the wrong person for a moment.
“Are you not a folding screen in the corner? What do you want with me? I'm busy,” said Huroi.
'Folding screen in the corner? Ah, that's true. I look like a complete beginner now.’
Unless the person has an excellent nature, it is common for ordinary players to be reluctant to deal with beginners. Beginners know nothing, so they always ask, sometimes even beg.
In order for Huroi not to ignore him and leave, Rous immediately cut in, “Didn't you come to this place because you received a quest from the Mero Company? Your original plan was to convince the residents of Winston to work with the Mero Company. But what is this development?”
“Hah?” Huroi showed an interested response. “You concluded that I have a quest from my actions? You, aren't you a rookie? Well, I'll just aim for greater benefits. Share Mission information. ”
[The player 'Huroi' wants to share mission information. Do you want to accept?]
The mission is accepted, and Huroi's search information appears before him.
[For Winston Residents]
[Difficulty: A]
The residents of Winston have been severely damaged by the selfish city lord and the Mero Company.
Originally, you were commissioned by the Mero Company. However, you cannot turn your back on the poor, so you betrayed the Mero Company.
Now you should avoid the pursuit of the Mero Company and head for the 'Frontier,' capital of the Earl Steim territory. Be sure to arrive at the Frontier and tell Earl Steim about everything that happened in Winston!
Quest Clear Conditions: Audience with Earl Steim.
Quest Reward: The title of 'Order of Justice.' Affinity with the Winston residents will rise to the top. The reputation in Winston will rise to the top. Earl Steim's Gift.
*Justice Principle: The status of 'Courage' will be unlocked. All statistics +10. The 'Unbreakable Justice' skill will be generated.
Mission Failure: Level - 1. Affinity with Winston's population will decline.
"W-What is this enormous compensation?"
Having the greatest reputation and proximity in the village means players can buy items at low prices and receive hidden missions. Moreover, a gift from a senior noble would at least be an item of epic rank. Moreover, the new status and skills resulting from the title were so rare that its value could not be converted into money. This is clearly a hidden mission. It was even better than the hidden missions Rous had received!
'P-My stomach hurts ...' Rous's jealousy made him dizzy, and it felt like the inside of his body was burning.
He felt frustrated, while Huroi smiled at him in satisfaction.
“Isn't that awesome? This is a hidden mission. I'm happy, because it's the first time I've seen it.”
'B-What a bitch.' However, Rous did not show his frustration due to his pride.
Instead, he said, “Hmph? This is incredible? hidden missions are no big deal! Goddamnit! This is not extraordinary. I don't envy those gifts. I'm not envious!”
“...Ah, is that?”
"Yes. I am not envious! So stop bragging about it, and tell me what you're doing. If I'm not mistaken, you encouraged the NPC to give you a mission, right? ”
Huroi shrugged his shoulders. “You quickly noticed. Well, a lot of people know about it, so the information will soon spread. There is no point in keeping it a secret and I received a hidden mission, so I will let you know. ”
Then Rous was told something shocking.
“Levels in Satisfy are unlimited. I accepted the mission by taking advantage of that freedom. I didn't wait until the NPC gave me a mission. I tried to say the words that would make the NPC give me a mission. Here is a simple example. If I say 'I'm fast and diligent in terms of delivery' in front of the restaurant owner, chances are the restaurant owner will give me a delivery-related mission."
“A-Excellent... I didn't know that until now... Has anyone else received a mission like this? If so, do those who do not know how to play the game receive a loss?”
“Do not despair. Unless you are an early player who has been playing Satisfy for a year, most players will not have enough understanding of the missions to apply this concept. Except for the beginning players, most people will be passive towards the mission, just like you. You have not received a big loss. Only a small number of beginning players benefit from it. Well, this information has started to appear on various sites, so everyone will know about it soon.”
“…”
“Hey, why are you suddenly pale? Why are you sweating?”
“...I am one.”
“...?”
"I... I've been playing Satisfy for a year since it opened..."
"What's? Pffs! Huahahaha!” Huroi grabbed her stomach. He laughed until tears fell and then raised his thumb as he could barely stop. “It was one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard. Isn't this a good joke? Are you a comedian in real life? Do you want to be friends? My pal?"
"...Scrambled."
That's not a joke. Rous is really an early player who has been playing Satisfy for a year. He even took time off from school to play Satisfy. But he did not know about such tips. Did he ever gain his own knowledge while playing Satisfy for a year? No, he was just relying on the usual information that anyone could get from the website. His understanding of Satisfy was so low that he himself did not believe he was a starting player.
'I am pathetic .. I am so ashamed of myself.'
Tears flowed from his eyes.
"Shoppers! Goddamnit!! Daaaammm~ nnnnnn! Logout."
“H-Hey! What, why are you acting like this? ”
Huroi was confused after Rous left so suddenly.
... ***...
“What's with that guy?” Huroi was stunned when a person named Rous suddenly logged out.
Rous is an Asian player like him and has a good sense of humor, so it would be nice if they could be friends.
“Pfft,” Huroi chuckled as she thought about it again.
Rous has declared himself an early player while not even knowing about how to push a mission.
“Why did he feel the need to disguise himself as a starting player? He really has an unusual personality. Then, should I go? ”
Huroi thought it was just a passing meeting. After meeting Rous, Huroi did not feel anything special. It was just a funny story that he rejected lightly.
Nevertheless, the two people were already approaching the flow of fate.
