Before logging off thest time, Max had found the clue to the next mission. As soon as he appeared in the station, he immediately followed the light and found Jamal in the corner. The yapper looked rather down, his eyes downcast.


    Max approached him. No matter how he saw it, thedies that he mentioned before he parted ways hurt him one way or another. And unfortunately, this yapper was the next quest giver. So he had no choice but to talk to him.


    "What’s wrong, dude? You got dumped on?" He asked with a tint of yfulness in his voice.


    "Oh, newbie?" Jamal asked, the energy in his voice was gone. Sighing, he looked on the floor. "It’s not that, newbie. If it’s just that, I won’t be this sad. It’s worse."


    "What happened?" It sounded pretty urgent and dangerous.


    "Hear me. There is a sighting of a Colossal-ss monster."


    Jamal began the story with a solemn expression.


    "When I met thedies earlier, I saw them crying their eyes out. Their hometown was destroyed overnight. Only two of them, siblings, survived. They didn’t know what to do and were under massive stress. After staying still for a few minutes, the younger one dragged her sister to ask for help."


    Holding his face and gritting his teeth, the yapper continued.


    "Man, I almost broke when I heard their story. The houses around them looked as if they had been trampled. Ground turned intova, and crops were burned. Hills were ttened, and trees were flipped. Everything was destroyed without any mercy."


    Max tried to picture it and shuddered. An image appeared in his vision. It wasn’t just his imagination or illusion, but a real one. The game had shown him the vige’s destruction.


    "This is the trampled vige?"


    — Well, this isn’t fun.


    — That certainly is ’destruction’. No pun intended.


    — The game shows the scene of destruction. Now this is a good game. Still, is that real? Poor viges.


    — To think the yapper shows such intense emotion.


    Max was able to look at the trampled vige from the sky, giving him the perfect view of the destruction. Just as Jamal described earlier, the scene could even make a grown man cry.


    "Their description reminded me of my past. I had directly seen and experienced the scene that they described before. That’s why I am sure they aren’t lying."


    Jamal’s voice rang in the surroundings as the scene faded away. The yapper raised his head, looking at Max.


    "This is without a doubt the work of a Colossal-ss monster. I will inform Caesar about its existence and we probably will send a scout soon. That’s why, prepare and train yourself. You might be forced to join the expedition soon."


    [Ding! A new mission is generated.]


    [Colossal-ss Sighting!]


    [Colossal-ss monster has been sighted destroying one vige. An expedition will be nned soon. Prepare and hone yourself. Take 3 Quest and kill a total of 3 Medium-ss monsters from the board.]


    Max looked at the notification and took everything in. When he closed it, Jamal stood up and patted his shoulder.


    "I will go first. If you’re ready, head to our base in Daigon Valley."


    With that, Jamal boarded the train and it left. Just as the train left, a new one arrived with a loud honk.


    "Just how does this train work?" Max asked curiously, wondering how the station worked.


    — It’s a mystery


    — Don’t ask, pretend not to see it


    — One train left, and one train arrived. It’s easy to see how it worked, no? No need to question it


    — Rather than that, you need to take 3 Quests today before you can proceed to the main story


    "Well, I know that. But I am just so curious. If we can implement this in the real world, won’t public transportation evolve to a new height? You don’t need to wait for another Sky Rail to arrive. Imagine how good that will be."


    The viewers called him an idealist and had a good imagination for a streamer. There was no way that system could be implemented. It was just a dream within a dream.


    Sighing, Max decided not to continue with the topic. It might be taken wrongly as criticizing the government, and he didn’t want that.


    ’Better not make any controversial stuff regarding the government. They already did a better job than the one from my previous life.’


    Thinking so, he walked toward the board and looked at the list of quests. He had more than 300 reputations now, so he could take various quests without any problem.


    To advance the main story, he had to take the quest above #100, which involved a Medium-ss monster. What kind of monster he fought wasn’t restricted. He could find the three weakest Medium-ss monsters and finished the requirement with them.


    However, he also had to think of his equipment.


    "I have no headgear yet, and I prefer to have one before the next main story, which probably involves a Colossal-ss or Large-ss monster. Which monster will give me good material for it?"


    When in doubt, ask someone knowledgeable. He decided to involve the chat. It was also one way tomunicate with hismunity.


    — Altacroz has good hide to make a good headgear, but it’s considered Small-ss monster


    — Probably a monster with a crown-like head? Their crown will be a good material for headgear. And you will only need a few ores to mix.


    — Leather-based headgear is good. Reptile or bird monsters will give you good materials. Maltrax sounds perfect to be your target.


    — If you want an easy target, then I rmend Pilzari. It’s a 7-meter big Medium-ss monster and has a soft hide. Not that good for material


    There were many options given by the chat. However, the leather headgear sounded good. There was a quest regarding Maltrax among the papers posted on the board.


    [Quest #088 – Hunt Poisonous Maltrax in Foray in near Mott Vige.]


    [Reward: 2,500 Gills, Maltrax’s material, 5x health potions, 3x Rub Cream]


    "Poisonous, huh? It will be a good experience. Let’s kill Maltrax." Max said as he ripped the quest from the board and boarded the train.


    The journey was skipped as usual. He arrived at a local station in a vige. When he exited the train, he found the guiding light on the side. It began to move toward a certain direction and he followed suit.


    Because the quest was an annihtion quest with a target, whose location was known, the light guided Max to the in instead of to someone who could provide him with information.


    Finding a Medium-ss monster in such a in was pretty easy. Itsrge size made the monster stand out.


    A bird, resembling a vulture, without feathers ate a whole cow in the middle of the in. Its wings were spread wide, made from leather. He didn’t know whether it could fly with that or not, but he would fight it while thinking it could to avoid any surprise attack.


    From its beak, green liquid dripped down. The cow that got covered in the liquid seemed to be in pain and tried to move desperately.


    ’Poison, and probably acidic.’ Max thought as he stopped, watching the scene. Before he realized it, the light had disappeared already.


    He was alone, a hundred meters away from the said monstrosity.


    ’It can melt the cow’s hide, but the effect is slow. However, if that hits my hand or skin, I don’t think I will be able to handle the pain. It will definitely melt my skin in a matter of seconds. Antidotes I have will also be useless. Maybe not so much, but it won’t be able to protect me from the acid.’


    The cow couldn’t move any further when Maltrax put it inside its mouth. The acidic liquid also had a paralyzing effect, which could only be cured with Antidote.


    ’Maybe I can cure the wound if I drink the Antidote and health potions at once. Hmm, this is doable.’


    After observing his target for a while, Max gripped his tusk sword and grinned. Find more to read on NovelBin.C?m


    "Well, let’s hunt a poisonous bird, shall we? Its meat might be bad, but my goal is that leather skin. The neck looks hard, so I will target its heart or any organ on its chest."


    — Hmm, so we’re now watching a smart Breeze. This will be fun.


    — Smart Breeze? What are you talking about?


    — Let me exin, new guy. Breeze has 2 sides, silly and smart. This one you see is the smart one. The silly one was the gentleman from earlier


    — This guy casually analyzed the monster’s capability just by seeing it eating a cow lol. He’s smart but pretends to be normal


    — I love both Breeze, hehehe. Marry me!


    — In your dream. Breeze already has LilyPixel, you hag!


    The viewers mored like usual.


    Max ignored them and concentrated. Right now, he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible.


    Approaching silently wouldn’t work. Maltrax already had its eyes on him since the start, eyeing him like a predator finding a nice, juicy prey.


    That was why, he’d rather use this situation to make a funny moment instead of trying to surprise attack it and fail.


    Standing in attention, he raised his sword above his head.


    "Give me your pelt, you cowlicker! Or I shall y you!" He dered openly as he stood a bit away from Maltrax. "Hah! Announcing my presence like this is gentlemanly. Let’s have a nice duel!"


    — Correction, it’s silly Breeze


    — lololol, duel with a monster


    — Gentleman? I mean… Are you sure Maltrax is a male?


    — You just one-sidedly dered a duel. That’s not a gentleman’s behavior…


    "Forget the small matters! Here I go!"
