Chapter 12: Shopping and Quest Grades

Michael then passed through the gates of the city, moved through throngs of people and NPC shops, before finally arriving in front of the Training Hall, and the two guys tailing him earlier already disappeared the moment he arrived at this place.

Michael then walked inside, as he noticed some changes inside. Well, there are more players now, all of them are here to learn their own respective class skills, and there is at least twenty of them inside including Michael, and their levels are around Level 2 and Level 3.

"Leveling up in this game sure is hard work, the game has been online for almost ten hours already, and a lot of them are still stuck on the low end. I’m pretty sure that there would be a lot less of players after ten hours as a lot of them would have already reached the limit of gaming time, and for me, I still have a spare of less than three hours because I went to the gym earlier. It would be the best time to rush ahead in levels as there would be less competition and a good time to avoid people following me around" Michael surveyed his surroundings while muttering to himself near the Hall’s entrance.

Michael moved through the small crowd skillfully and saw that there is a line of five people lining up in front of the Assassin Instructor, so he also got in line and waited for his turn.

’The game company is really taking this game to the next level, as you even need to wait in line just to learn some skills. It’s unlike computer based RPG games where you could instantly interact with the NPC even if there are hundreds of you doing the same thing’ Michael chuckled happily. After all, the more real this game is, the more he could apply his real life assassin skills inside the game.

’After this, I need to start training again as I’m pretty that this body of mine isn’t used to my movements and skills than my body from my original self. After all, even if my physique is already around twenty percent of my original body, doesn’t mean it would also have the same corresponding bodily functions. Only a dumb a** would think that just because you have learned top tier skills already in your mind, means your body would also follow along. Then those martial artists that have been training their whole lives would have trained in vain when they could have just read and learn the skills, and then their bodies would also automatically become skillful and powerful too’ Michael chuckled coldly, as he did met stupid people like that before from his original timeline.

’Oh? Finally my turn’ Michael thought as he noticed that the others in front of him have finished, so he also stepped forward, where the Instructor immediately showed him two more different skill scrolls.

What Michael didn’t know is that while he was busy looking through the skills, the people around him are actually talking about him, because of that eye catching "Level 5" floating above his head.

"Damn! Already Level 5!? Just how the heck is this guy leveling up that fast!?"

"Tsk, must have come from a big guild. It took me almost five hours just to get to Level 3 from Level 2. Having your own skilled party really has its own perk"

"I agree with that, that’s the reason why the nine major guilds have been able to maintain their status as the best guild in gaming scene because a lot of them are skilled players"

"Uhmm..even their regular members are a bit better than us average players"

With over three golds in his hand, that he got from the Ash Wolf Boss before. Michael immediately bought the three skill scrolls.

After all, that three gold coins were just "stolen goods", so using it to make himself stronger wouldn’t be that bad of an idea.

Michael immediately left the Training Hall under the gazes of amazement and envy.

Michael took out every Skill Scroll one by one, as they all turned into a ray of white light.

Glancing at his skill bar, he noticed that three more skills had appeared: Vital Strike, Stealth Weapons Mastery and Backstab!

He then went towards a nearby Bakery, to buy some bread.

"Boss! Please give me thirty of your best bread!" Michael said smiling as he went over to the window.

"Right on lad!" the chubby middle aged NPC laughed as he went to the back of his store and carried two baskets of steaming hot bread and handed it over to Michael.

"That’d would be thirty coppers lad"

Michael immediately handed him the copper coins as Michael put the bread into his [Inventory].

[Uncle Mark’s Bread]

Properties: consume to restore 5 HP overtime for 10 seconds (can only be used when out of battle)

Note: If you don’t have enough money to buy potions then get yourself some bread!

His next stop was the Pharmacy Shop, Michael bought a 10 Low Level Potion that cost 3 Silvers each.

His last stop was the Blacksmith Shop, where he bought a Leather Armor, Leather Pants, and Leather Gloves, everything cost 15 Silvers.

[Adventurer Leather Armor

Properties: +2 Strength

Requirements: Level 5, Any Class]

[Adventurer Leather Pants

Properties: +1 Agility, +1 Strength

Requirements: Level 5, Any Class]

[Adventurer Leather Gloves

Properties: +2 Agility

Now, he was only left with 2 Gold, 17 Silvers and 33 Copper Coins.

Even by that, he’s probably still the most wealthy lone player, except for the guilds that had numerous members that could farm coins for them.

"Now, I’m all set" Michael grinned, and this time he headed towards the City Administration to receive some quest.

Arriving at the City Administration, just as every time of the day, a lot of players are crowding a lot in and outside of the building.

Michael just went inside, and he had two options to get a Quest.

One, he could get a quest suitable for his Level at the clerks who hands a lot of similar missions to all players, rarely would someone get a Quest just for their own.

The second option would be to take a Quest directly from the large Quest Board sitting in the middle of the ground floor.

Every kind of quest is posted there, from easiest to hardest. Even taking a quest in slaying a dragon is not impossible to get.

But the penalty for a quest failure is harsh!

If a player fails, not only would that player get penalized paying the same amount for the monetary reward, they would also be penalized a reduction in levels depending on how hard the quest.

Quest grades are labeled starting from the easiest, F - Grade Quest, E - Grade Quest, D - Grade Quest, C - Grade Quest, B - Grade Quest, A - Grade Quest, and lastly, the hardest and legendary S - Grade Quest.
