The huge potential rewards did not make Kieran lose his chill.
Quite the opposite, he became even calmer than before.
He knew very well that gaining huge rewards would definitely not be an easy task.
It didn’t matter if Guntherson was an ally or a foe. Kieran would still need to spend all his effort on trying to obtain them.
If Guntherson was a friend, Kieran would need to raise their relationship level through the quest. In other words, the friendlier he got, the higher Kieran’s chance of getting equipment or skills would be.
If Guntherson was a foe, things would be much simpler. All Kieran would need to do was gather enough strength and hope to overpower and defeat him. In other words, kill him and make him drop all his equipment and skills.
However, Kieran was still far from earning the farming equipment he was thinking of.
He needed to solve the problem at hand first.
Helped by the strong wind, Guntherson’s punch was already within meters from Kieran.
