15 Chain Quests? (1/2)
”Death??” Berting's eyeballs enlarged when the hero looking Pedro suddenly vanished, and a cold breeze of air went past Berting and Starberry.
”So fast!” Starberry uttered looking at the distant figure of Pedro.
When Pedro's figure was about to vanish, A man slightly taller than Pedro and looks like a typical Korean in his 20's passed the duo with a notch down compared to Pedro's speed.
”....” Berting was again dumbfounded. The reason why he agreed to fight the wild pig was to impress Starberry and gain her trust. Berting knew that Starberry might be one of those players who was sponsored by some multi-million dollar companies.
Gaining her trust might secure him a good position in her guild on the official launch of the game. He would garner huge income while playing Bearth.
”Is that another pro player??” Starberry asked while staring at the distant figure of Mathew.
”Sister! I think it's a good idea to follow Death...”
”I... mean... the player... Player Death!”
”If I am not wrong... he is currently one of the strongest players at this point!” Berting suggested as he stood up and shook off his pants.
”Then let's follow him! We can become stronger if we follow him and learn how did he kill the wild pig!” Starberry traversed slowly back to the village.
....
”Respected village soldier Tam!... I have saved the two people and killed the wild pig!...” A typical Korean looking man around six feet tall with a mild body build and tan skin approached a soldier who looked bored and exhausted from whole day work.
”But you failed to submit the pig to me on time!” The soldier interjected in a fearsome and serious tone.
”Can't you kindly reconsider? This pig, I will naturally give to you! I have no use of it at the moment! It would be a waste to throw it away!” the young man tried to negotiate with the soldier.
Unlike in other Adventure VR Game, In Bearth, Failed quests by players can be negotiated but the rewards they might get is less compared to the initial rewards that have been set. This was another unique feature in the game.
Consequently, this feature has its own risks. It may cause a negative effect on the relationship of the player trying to negotiate and the NPC. There were cases where players would be instantly attacked by the NPC and died. This was included by the developers to make Bearth almost identical to the real world.
”You've got guts adventurer! To demand to a soldier like me!” village soldier Tam smirked as a murderous aura escaped from his body...
”....” The young man, Pedro, was surprised at first when the NPC threatened him, but later on, smirked as if the threat was nothing...
....
”Just because you can kill a level 1 wild pig easily doesn't mean you are strong enough to fight an NPC!!” Mathew uttered in a disappointed manner upon seeing that Pedro is somehow about to fight soldier Tam.
”Right?! That man is kinda weird!” Berting replied as he and Starberry appeared behind Mathew and imitated how Mathew was spying Pedro behind the tree.
*Shiiiing!!!
”Who are you?” Mathew jumped out of shock and unsheathed his sword and entered a defense position against Starberry and Berting.
”Whoa... brother chill out!! We mean no harm!” Berting raised his arms trying to show that they don't impose a threat to Mathew.
