n‘Uh… this is a hard decision to make…’

nThe staff is a weapon where the moment he chose it, his archery skill would become useless.

nHowever, he decided to buy it and think later.

n“Buy!”

nIts level limit was lower than the hairband’s, therefore, he could buy it for 100,000 Gold.

nThe staff was added to his inventory while Ian deeply thought about it.

n‘Right now, the bow is far more useful…’

nOf course, if he used the staff, all his archery-related passive skills would become useless and he

nwould not be able to use his battle ability as an archer.

nHowever, it was also an important fact that he couldn’t continue to use the bow forever.

n‘It’s a little early, but it would not be bad to change my fighting style and get used to it.’

nHe found some comfort in the fact that the Aiming Weak Skill was a passive skill that could be used

nby all classes. After all, he had raised its proficiency by a lot.

nAdditionally, the staff had a great advantage as well: it decreased the cooldown time and the MP

nconsumption of all skills by 10%.

n‘I need to make Ly even stronger and I must get another pet.’

nIan decided to use the Staff and put his bow on auction right away. This great determination was one

nof Ian’s virtues.

n“It does feel strange to hold a staff. Huh…”

nHe had used the bow since he started to play Kailan months ago, therefore, using a staff felt strange.

nIan then searched for a few more minutes, however, he couldn’t find any more ‘Mother Nature’ items.

nSo, he left the auction house.

nThen an alarm rang in his bag.

n“Oops.”

nIan immediately summoned Ly.

n“Ly, summon!”

nLy was summoned. It tried to howl as usual but then it flinched.

nIt felt strange to be summoned in a big city. After all, he had always been summoned in a forest.

nIan used the Intermediate Training skill.

n– You used the Intermediate Training skill (cooldown time: 25 minutes).

n– Your pet Ly understands your commands better and learns from them for 15 minutes.

n– The pet’s potential is increased through repeated training.

n– Your pet Ly’s current potential: 98

nIan had set an alarm informing him of the Intermediate Training skill’s cooldown time.

n‘Hu, it’s good that I set that alarm. Otherwise, I would have forgotten about it.’

nIan wasn’t going to waste his time even when he wasn’t fighting. The skill could affect the potential

ngreatly. He would not be able to sleep if he wasted 10 minutes by not realizing that the cooldown time

nhad ended.

n“Ly, this isn’t a hunting ground, so be careful and follow me.”

nGrowl-. Growl-.

nLy nodded and pressed his body against Ian. It was a little nervous because of the unfamiliar

nenvironment.

n“Wow, look. He’s a Summoner!”

nPeople looked with curiosity since there weren’t many Summoners yet.

n“He has a Wolf as his pet, his level must be low.”

n“Summoner’s level-up is extremely hard. I haven’t seen anyone who has reached Lv.20.”

n“Oh, really?”

nIan didn’t want this kind of attention, therefore, he normally didn’t summon Ly in public. However, he

nwas ready to tolerate it for training.

n‘Let’s go get a quest now!’

nIan knew of a quest that would raise his level from 20 to mid-30 very quickly. Of course, ordinary

nusers would not try it before reaching Lv.40.

n‘Where was the starting point of the Destroying Goblins’ Campsite quest?’

nIt was a very controversial quest. It was much harder than other quests of similar rank and its money

nreward was not good.

nHowever, Ian was thinking of another part of the quest.

n‘If my memory is correct, double EP was given when killing a goblin during the quest.’

nIt was a great amount of EP.

n‘Before resetting my character, I had to hunt in a party because I couldn’t handle it on my own… but

nthis time I will do it alone.’

nOrdinary Goblins in the Goblin Campsite were about Lv. 39. Goblin Warriors’ level was in the early

n40s, and the Goblin Chief, the boss monster, was a Lv. 45 shaman type monster.

nGoblins lived in packs of dozens and Ian was going to get EP from this.

nHe had gotten another reason to raise his level fast, so hesitation was luxury.

n‘Bingo.’

nIan spotted a middle-aged man wandering near the castle walls and went to him. He was Laper, the

nleader of vigilantes who would give Ian the Destroying Goblins’ Campsite quest.

n“It’s been a long time, Laper.”

nIan spoke to him first.

n‘I hope the NPC has not forgotten me because of the resetting.’

nFortunately, Laper seemed to remember him.

n“Oh, Ian!”

n“How have you been?”

nLaper was an important NPC who would give Ian many quests.

n‘Friendships with NPCs have not been reset. Thank God.’

nIan was relieved.

n“Of course. Philip thanked me for having you kill the Ogre Warrior, haha.”

nPhilip was the leader of vigilantes of another region. Ian had completed a quest for him before he

nreset his character.

nIan didn’t spend much time speaking with the NPC.

n“I see. Sir, have the goblins been quiet recently?”

nLaper’s face immediately brightened at this.

n“Oh, I have been worrying because of the Goblins’ Campsite… the punitive forces we sent aren’t

nenough. Do you happen to know any good mercenary?”

n“I want to do it myself.”

n“Yourself? Oh… It would be great! But I need more people…”

nA quest alarm rang. Ian had been waiting for it.

nDing-.

nDestroying Goblins’ Campsite at Somur Canyon

nLaper, leader of vigilantes in Lucain Village, is looking for people to join a punitive force to destroy the

nGoblins’ Campsite. Join the punitive force and destroy the campsite.
