Cultivation Online novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - Repeatable Quests

After leaving the Contract Beast store, Yuan asked Yu Rou, "What do you want to do now that you have a weapon?"

"Since this is a game, we should be completing quests and clearing dungeons for rewards, right?" she said to him.

"What have you been doing with Xiao Hua?" she then asked.

"Well... we mostly wander the wilderness and fight monsters," he responded after a quick ponder.

"That’s all you’ve been doing? What about quests?" she looked at them with wide eyes.

"Uh... we completed only two quests so far."

"Two!? And you somehow managed to obtain so much money!? I don’t believe you, brother. There must be something unique that you’re doing differently from the other players for you to have so much money."

"Then do you want to hunt monsters with us? Of course, we’ll only fight monsters at your level," Yuan suggested.

However, she shook her head and said, "We can fight monsters later. I want to experience more of this world first, so I am going to do a few small quests."

"You know where to find quests?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Un. Most shops hand out quests if you asked," she nodded.

"Where did you learn that? I didn’t even know about that!" he said.

"The internet is a wonderful source of information. You can learn almost everything on it. Anyway, this is how most players are earning their money— by doing quests and clearing dungeons."

"But since we have plenty of time to play together, I want to enjoy the casual things in this game with you before we start doing the serious stuff like clearing dungeons and hunting monsters."

"I am okay with that," Yuan nodded. "I will follow you around now, so lead the way."

"Okay!"

Yu Rou then led Yuan around Spring City until she found a medicine store and went inside.

"Hello, I am looking for a quest. Does this store need assistance with something?" Yu Rou asked the receptionist a moment later.

The receptionist nodded and said, "Oh, thank you for asking! I have been running low on some herbs, so if you don’t mind, can you bring me 3 jins of Spirit Grass? They can be found ten miles away from the city."

«You have received a quest from ’Mr. Qiang’s Medicine Shop’»

«Quest: Gathering Spirit Grass»

«Difficulty: Easy»

«Quest Description: Bring back 3 jins of Spirit Grass to Mr. Qiang’s Medicine Shop»

«Reward: 30 silver»

"We’ll be back with the Spirit Grass." Yu Rou said to the old man before walking out of the store with Yuan.

"That’s it?" Yuan was surprised by how easy it was for them to receive quests.

"What did you expect, brother?" Yu Rou looked at him weirdly.

"Nothing... it’s just that compared to the quests I have done, this is kind of... boring?"

’Three Horned Pig at the third level Spirit Apprentice... This is a good time for me to use the Starry Abyss and practice my dagger skills...’ Yuan thought to himself. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

’Hm? This feeling isn’t that bad.’ Yuan looked at the Starry Abyss with a pleasantly surprised face.

Meanwhile, Yu Rou stared at the scene with a shocked expression.

’His movements are so fast and crisp! I didn’t even notice his arm had moved until he beheaded the monsters!’ she cried inwardly after witnessing Yuan’s prowess. If only she knew that this is his first time wielding a dagger.

"That was amazing, brother! You looked like an entirely different person just now!" She praised him afterward. "I guess you weren’t lying when you said that you had hunted a lot of monsters!"

"Your cultivation must be fairly high right now. What’s your cultivation, brother?" she then asked him.

"That’s a secret," he said with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Eh? Why would you keep that a secret?" she raised her eyebrows.

"Because it’s for a surprise I have for you later," he quickly replied.

"Hmm..." Yu Rou narrowed her eyes at him with a suspicious gaze.

Seeing this, Yuan laughed nervously before saying, "Anyway, now that the monsters are dealt with, let’s continue."

"Huh? You’re going to leave just like that? What about these three monsters?" Yu Rou suddenly asked him.

"What do you mean? What about these three monsters?" Yuan tilted his head in a puzzled manner.

"Don’t tell me you were actually going to leave behind so much material on the ground?! That’s so wasteful! If we sell these monsters’ meat and bones to the store, we can earn much more money!" she explained to him.

"Oh... I never thought about that..." he mumbled in a low voice.
