Chain mission

Sighing in relief after killing the wild rabbit, Cain checked his life, noting that he had dropped almost 20 points in that single confrontation, the difficulty of this game was not a joke, even being so skilled in combat he lost 20 life. fighting alone against a level 1 monster.

Although he was at a level disadvantage, it was not so much that his stats were suppressed when facing the monster, an ordinary player could lose at least half of his life facing a single rabbit, if by chance he faced two he would reach the end of his life.

Not even Cain was sure he could take on 3 of these rabbits at once with his current limitations and few abilities.

"How laughable, in real life, I wouldn't have a problem fighting with 5 strong men and here 3 rabbits would make me run for my life" Cain muttered melancholy picking up the 3 dropped items.

[Picked up rabbit meat]

[Wild Rabbit's Foot Collected]

[Collected Copper Coin]

Surprisingly he dropped money, considering that the game only gave him 5 bronze coins at the beginning it could be seen how difficult it was to earn money, maybe it was done like this on purpose to make things difficult for the big guilds at first, they wouldn't have that much of an advantage about small guilds or individual players if their many members couldn't donate a lot of coins as they were in short supply.

Looking at the rabbit's foot that the wild rabbit dropped in his inventory, Cain checked his information.

[Wild Rabbit's Foot: The left foot of a wild rabbit, proof that you hunted a wild rabbit on your own, you can exchange them for rewards at the hunter's association. limited drops]

Seeing him got excited, it must be a kind of reward for the first players to kill level 1 monsters it was something necessary since hunting them was much more difficult than field rabbits, and giving only 1 XP but not it was worth it if it weren't for the fact that they dropped bronze coins.

And these redeemable medals were the icing on the cake, but since it said it was a limited drop it meant that at some point they would stop dropping, it would be a reward only for the first players to hunt level 1 monsters, and nothing more.

Resisting the urge to continue hunting wild rabbits Caín walked back to the village, it was better to turn in the quest and get another one to gain XP more efficiently, he would also buy some life options to better hunt wild rabbits later, in the game the mana would recover for seconds, but not life.

Only with potions or food would you recover it, also resting, but it would take too long, it was better to fight until you had little life and then take a potion, as I returned I noticed players already close to their previous position hunting, I was not the only one who understood the importance of not have close competition.

If it wasn't for being cautious and going as far as possible he would have noticed them sooner, watching them hunt he realized that these were experienced players, the field rabbits could barely dodge any attack and just waited to be slowly butchered.

What caught his attention the most were those who learned [mana hit] even though, it did little percentage damage, being a magical attack it was not reduced by defense, only magical defense could reduce the damage of spells, and monsters with it shouldn't appear yet, besides having little CD it could do more overall damage than the other two basic abilities.

Those who chose this skill probably wanted a ranged class upon reaching level 5, although the other two could be good for classes like archers or musketeers it would be better to start with [Mana Strike] to practice your aim.

Watching everyone hunt he headed back to town, some others doing the same very safely to deliver their quests, he also delighted in some not-so-expert players failing miserably while hunting rabbits.

5 minutes later I was back at the bar, upon entering I see Roland in the same secluded place as before drinking alone, it was not surprising since it took less than half an hour to complete the mission.

Approaching him, Roland recognized him even before he spoke, standing up and laughing uproariously.

"Oh you're back little newbie, you're pretty fast, but... you know sometimes it's not good to be too fast hahaha"

With a forced smile on his face, Cain resisted the urge to reprimand him and took out a leather bag from his inventory, in it were all 100 field rabbit feet.

"Here is great adventurer Roland, I have completed your request."

Nodding as he received the sack, Roland didn't even bother to count them as he tossed it onto a lonely table corner.

"Well done little one, since you satisfactorily completed this gentleman's little test I will reward you generously"

While bragging about being a superior and benevolent entity, he extended a hand giving 5 copper coins to Cain. Instantly a notification appeared in front of him.

[you have completed the quest {hunt rabbits for Roland}, you have obtained 50 XP and 5 copper coins]

Resisting the urge to scold this NPC for his arrogance Caín smiled at him as he thanked him, for an NPC like him, even though he couldn't see his level, he would surely easily earn many silver or gold coins in a single hunt, how did he feel? so proud to give a few measly coppers to some random rookie?

But it was unavoidable since the game wouldn't easily give a player a silver coin this early in the game, they still might not find the first person with one in the game even when they level up to 1.

After all, transactions between players still couldn't be made and guilds couldn't collect money from their members, even if they wanted to.

"Won't Lord Roland have another mission for me, so that I can continue my training?" Cain asked as Roland nodded in satisfaction of his thanks.

Thinking for a moment Roland nodded his head,

"Okay since you passed the first test we can level up a bit, I can smell the blood of a wild rabbit on you, it's a bit impressive that you can catch them so soon so I'll give you a quest at your level.

Kill 400 field rabbits and 100 wild rabbits and bring me their left feet as proof."

[you have activated a chain quest, you have activated the quest {slaughter rabbits for Roland}, complete it and you will get 300 XP and a steel sword]

"Chain mission?"

Caín was surprised by this, as he had investigated at the beginning the NPCs only gave basic and repetitive missions, without many rewards in XP or coins to give a little difficulty at the beginning, and that professional players do not get much ahead of normal ones from the beginning.

At least no beta player got chain quests before level 5 from what I had researched, it seems the official release was really different and even this could happen.

"Well lord Roland I will make sure not to disappoint you and I will quickly accomplish your mission"

The difference between chain missions and repetitive missions was in the difficulty and rewards, each subsequent mission in a chain mission was more difficult than the previous one and gave better rewards, instead a repetitive one would at most ask you to hunt more rabbits and would give proportionally higher XP and copper coins.

"Well let me give you some advice since you accepted this man's mission, by hunting rabbits you must have obtained a lot of their fur right? You can go to the nearby tailor shop to order some protective equipment with them, they won't be very good, but they will do more than the rags you wear"

Nodding, Caín quickly left the tavern and headed first to the butcher shop, he had obtained about 65 kilos of rabbit meat from hunting, and after haggling a bit he sold them for 22 coppers to the butcher, at first he planned to also sell the 52 skins he had bought. they also dropped, but from Roland's advice, it was better to use them to get some gear.

Arriving at the tailor shop, he noticed that there were players in it, it seemed that it was a little-known secret that equipment that grants statistics could be obtained so soon, but it would not be a surprise since this type of thing that gives a clear advantage at the beginning of the game would be secret. saved among smart players.

In a short time, I handed over 40 of the rabbit skins that I had saved in exchange for a helmet, a bib, pants, and boots made of them, it cost me a total of 12 copper for all of them even though I put the materials, but it was worth it as each one gave me +1 defense and almost doubled my starting defense.

Cain's life had passively recovered while he was in town, one of their perks.

Looking at his stats, Caín nodded and headed to a shop to buy life potions and a smithy to repair his spear, taking his last 20 copper with him, then immediately set off to complete this part of the chain quests.
