Chapter 17

While I was waiting for my beer, I take a look at the three notifications I received after showing the photo to Weasel.

--------------------------

--------------------------

' A versatile skill, until now apart from Telekinesis, I had no magical way to attack from the distance, I'll think about something in the future.'

Finally, my beer arrived, he pens it right in front of me and gives it to me.

"... Do you have a straw?"

"... The last time someone asked me something like that they went to the bathroom to sniff some cocaine, that's why I decide to store hundreds of them," I said while taking out a pink straw.

I mentally sigh and take the straw from his hand, and put it on the beer.

Before actually drinking it though I smell the liquid inside to see if there was anything wrong, and when the only thing I smelt was the usual smell of that monster, I began drinking, trying to find out what was soo good about it.

--------------------------

By drinking alcohol you have gained the skill: Alcohol resistance.

Alcohol Resistance Lv.1

I was out drunken, and I will never be out drunken again

Effect: You are 1% more resistant to all the Alcohol side effects, you can still taste it, and if you wish for it to happen, you can gain the status effect Drunk, thus gaining a 50% boost in Cha, and losing 50% of your Per, the status lasts longer the longer you drink.

--------------------------

I ignored the new skill, guessing what it could, and instead focused on the taste of the beer.

' it's bitter, kind of addicting though, the more your drink the less bitter it gets, I guess if it wasn't for Gamer's mind, I would already start to feel the effects, or maybe is it too soon? I don't have enough experience of such things, I will need to research the average time for someone to get drunk so that I can fake being tipsy and not attract suspicions.'

While drinking my beer I open my status and click on the Mercenary Perk, trying to find out its effect.

--------------------------

Mercenary

Yes you are a mercenary, no you are not Jean-Claude Van Damme

Effect: When completing a task for someone else, and gaining money for it, your XP gain when ending the quest will double.

--------------------------

'Cool.'

I finish the bottle and receive a notification of the level of Alcohol Resistance, I look towards Weasle and ask him if he had another mission.

"Simply check the book, the ones without a photo are incomplete, those with a red X on them, are the hardest ones, if you see a red skull, don't get involved until you can fight an army on your own."

I look towards the book and move my hands towards it, I move right in front of me and when I open it I immediately receive a quest notification.

--------------------------

Kill Guy number 5

Rat's problem

Protect me

Fuck the hell out of them

69 enemies? Nice

Help for studies

.

.

.

--------------------------

After scrolling through the quests, I found out the quest Weasel was talking about, and I understood why he said to stay away from them, one of the quests with a red X in the name, asked for the disposal of Spiderman, another of the disposal of Captain America, and heroes or even villains like that, while the ones with the black skull were even crazier.

--------------------------

Eradicate the mutants

Kill the Hulk family

Get to Asgard and Survive

Help with Shield

.

.

.

--------------------------

My eyes flinched when I read and after reading each one carefully I discovered something, first about the existence of Shield, a secret organization which may be considered above the American government, the existence of one of the 7 fucking Mythological Vikings realms, and other important information that the usual civilian shouldn't know.

' What the fuck is wrong with this country? No, more like what the fuck is wrong with New York.'

I sigh, look back at the normal quests, and decide to take a look at the Kill guy number 5 quest.

--------------------------

Kill guy number 5

Goal: Kill William Nickson, part of the 5 man group, the thieves.

Reward:+1000 XP( 2000 XP due to perk), +1000$

Failure Condition: Death

Quest time: 7 days

--------------------------

'Might as well, won't feel bad for a piece of shit that calls himself a thief with pride.'

I say while turning towards Weasel.

" Hey, Weasel I think I will get this one," I said while pointing at the page.

He looks at what I was pointing then back at me, then back at the quest.

" Ok, but I got to warn you, they got guns, as much as stupid as it might sound, they have like enough guns to equip an army, the idiots think that something like a zombie apocalypse will happen and they got ready for it."

' I will not answer that one.'

" How much does your cheapest weapon with a silencer cost?"

"200$."

" Go get it, I think I will need it."
