Chapter 2650 – 2650. Daily Quest
I used a space-movement scroll and appeared in a deserted back alley in LA.
I deliberately set the coordinates in a place where there were no people.
‘If I suddenly appear in a crowded place, the Hunter Association will track me down.’
Space-movement ability users can’t use their abilities carelessly. It’s a sensitive issue due to the risk of terrorism.
‘I don’t know for sure, but I heard there’s some kind of barrier that blocks space-movement abilities in the city.’
It’s a secret of the Association, so I don’t know much either. All I know is that confirmed space-movement ability users are subject to intensive management. And they also make a ton of money.
Lightning Heaven Style Electromagnetic Wave.
Mana-infused electromagnetic waves spread in all directions. Information that touches the electromagnetic waves is downloaded into my head and creates a three-dimensional map.
‘Is it because I raised my mana stats this time? I used it without much thought, but the basic range is 500m. If I use full power, I could probably reach 2km.’
I’ve identified the locations of people. Those walking on the street aren’t interested in this area, and those inside the buildings are busy with their own things. Some are having sex. I wasn’t interested in other people’s sex, so I decided to focus on my own business.
Lightning Heaven Style Flying Thunder God.
Crackling.
Blue currents flow through my entire body.
Flying Thunder God is a type of agility technique. My body becomes lighter. At the same time, I can clearly feel the electricity enveloping my body. I use a smartphone map to gauge my direction and leap into the sky. I let the electricity guide my body. I entrust my body to the pull of the electricity.
‘It’s not as incredibly fast as I was in the Light Ascension World… but it’s reasonably successful.’
Since I wasn’t at the level of turning my entire body into electricity, I had to run directly. The consumption of stamina and mana is considerable. Assuming I run continuously, the limit would be about 2 hours.
‘Once I pick up speed, it gets easier. Above all, there are no obstacles like walls in the sky.’
Flash! Flash!
My body flashed due to the electricity enveloping me. Many citizens must have already seen me, but I didn’t care.
‘It’s not like I’m committing a crime.’
The US was a bit lenient in this regard. Of course, as long as you didn’t harm others.
‘To others, I’d look like at least an A-rank, so from the Hunter Association’s perspective, it would be a burden to track me down when I haven’t even committed a crime yet. Since I haven’t committed a crime, they can’t send an emergency response team, and it would take time to organize a tracking team.’
Even if the US Hunter Association tracks me down, it doesn’t matter. I’m confident I can shake them off. Even if a photo is taken, my face will be obscured by the lightning, and only light will be visible.
I leisurely sped through the American sky as the sun began to set.
Arizona was a desert. The view from the sky was quite scenic.
It took about an hour to reach the coordinates marked on the map.
[Day 1 Quest
A woman is in trouble. Go to the location below and help the woman.
Quest Success Reward: 500 points, an awesome lollipop.]
A woman in trouble.
At those words, I imagined a situation where she was threatened by a monster. That’s usually what I think of as trouble. But it wasn’t that.
The woman had parked her car by the side of the road and was working on the hood. It seemed like her car had broken down.
She was a tanned blonde woman. Her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail. She was wearing jeans and a tank top, so her body lines were clearly visible. Her hips were large and firm, and her breasts were full and shapely, an E-cup. Even with her clothes on, I could feel her elasticity.
And her exposed abdomen had well-defined muscles.
‘I can sense mana. A hunter. An A-rank, maybe.’
For an A-rank hunter, a car breakdown was hardly a problem. Running out of food on a desert road? A hunter could survive for more than ten days.
‘In the first place, if you just keep walking along the road, you’d reach a city in a day or two. And you could ask for help from other cars passing by. Or call 119. Or is it 911 in the US?’
Even if things are expensive in the US, an A-rank hunter could easily afford it.
‘This quest is a spoon-fed quest created by the Play Life app to entertain me. As expected of the Play Life app. It knows what I want.’
I descended from the sky to the ground.
The tanned blonde ponytail woman, who was working on her car, spoke without turning around.
“If you’re here to talk nonsense, get lost. I’m busy right now.”
Her English was full of annoyance. It didn’t bother me much since a pretty girl was saying it.
“You look like you’re in trouble. Want some help?”
She turned to look at me. Her brown eyes scanned me up and down before asking.
“East Asian? Chinese?”
“I’m Korean.”
“You speak English so well, I thought you were American.”
Didn’t she just ask if I was Chinese? She didn’t seem normal. But she was pretty, so it was charming.
“Do you know anything about cars?”
“Nope.”
“…But you’re offering to help me?”
Snap.
I snapped my fingers.
A supercar was summoned from my inventory and landed on the road. Her eyes widened.
“Space manipulation? What the fuck…! That’s such an enviable ability! Can you do space-movement too?”
“I can’t do space-movement. I can only put things in and take them out. This is a secret, so don’t go around telling people.”
“I’m not the kind of woman who blabs.”
“You’re heading to LA, right? I’ll give you a ride.”
“Ha. Do you think I’d ride in that flimsy car? I’d rather walk. You can ride it all you want.”
She turned her head sharply and glared at her broken car again.
‘Flimsy? This is a brand-new, sleek supercar that’s been modified in Eternal Eden!’
I compared my car to hers.
My car was a supercar. It was a well-known brand and very sleek. The top could be opened. The top could be opened. Automatic driving was totally possible.
Her car was a pickup truck. It was definitely big and looked heavy. But it was old. It wasn’t for nothing that it broke down in the middle of the road. If you looked closely, the right side of the hood was even dented.
‘I have a hunch. That car. It’s not an ordinary car.’
An A-rank hunter who makes a lot of money. And a young woman in her early to mid-twenties wouldn’t be driving a car like that. There’s a high probability that it’s a car with a story.
Or she has a mental illness where she’s obsessed with an old pickup truck.
I reverse-summoned the supercar and approached her.
“That’s a really old car. Is there a reason why you don’t change it?”
“It’s my dad’s keepsake. He said he’d buy me a car when I graduated high school… and he left me with just this one. I should have changed this damn engine a long time ago….”
“That just means you didn’t take care of it properly.”
“I did take care of it as much as I could… Ah, fuck! Are you here to pick a fight? Get lost.”
“If I fix this car, will you go on a date with me?”
“…Ha. Are you blind? The engine is completely busted. Even a mechanic would tell you to just change the engine. But how are you going to fix it here?”
“I’ll show you if you agree to a date. Oh, how about a desert driving date? It wouldn’t be bad.”
“Ha. It’s so obvious what you want, I’m not even angry, just dumbfounded. Fine. Fix it. If you fix it perfectly, I’ll go on a date with you.”
She took a step back and crossed her arms. Her breasts, supported from below, jiggled slightly.
“I heard you clearly.”
I looked at the pickup truck’s engine. I didn’t know anything even after looking. I didn’t have any specialized knowledge about cars.
‘I don’t necessarily need to know.’
I took out a pet cage from my inventory. Makina, who was trapped in the pet cage, immediately frowned.
“What is it this time?”
“Fix this car. Quickly. It’s urgent.”
I opened the entrance of the pet cage and slyly offered her a spirit orb. Makina’s face, which had been full of annoyance, immediately relaxed. She quickly took the spirit orb and used her power on the truck.
“If it’s urgent, I can’t help it. Yap!”
Makina’s power seeped into the pickup truck.
Clunk! Clunk!
The car parts moved and aligned themselves, the dented hood straightened out, and the grime on the parts disappeared.
The old pickup truck was transformed into a brand-new car in just 5 seconds.
“Okay. Good job. Now get lost.”
I immediately reverse-summoned the pet cage. Makina disappeared without a peep. I gave her a spirit orb, so she wouldn’t be angry.
I turned around and spread my arms to the tanned blonde ponytail woman.
“Ta-da! I fixed the car. I even gave it a great service. How is it?”
“I thought you were just some weirdo who suddenly flew in… but you even use fairies? You’re not ordinary.”
She was more composed than I expected. She didn’t seem surprised. I was disappointed and also curious.
“Fairy?”
“Don’t play dumb. That’s a fairy. It’s the first time I’ve seen one in person, but I know fairies use strange powers.”
The excuses I had prepared were useless.
‘Fairy? Ordinary hunters don’t know about that. Of course, I didn’t know either.’
I wasn’t flustered. I knew there were all sorts of secrets in this world.
“I’ll tell you in advance. I’m not here to play around. I have business to take care of. A desert driving date? It’s difficult right now. Let’s exchange contact information and meet in the city later.”
“I want to go on a date now. I’ll help you with your business. It’ll be over quickly if we do it together, right?”
“Even if you help me with my work, I won’t pay you.”
“It’s a date, why would you pay me?”
When I grinned, she sighed and headed to the driver’s seat.
“I warned you in advance. Get in.”
“What’s your name?”
“Hazel McCarthy. What’s yours?”
“Yujin Sung.”
She didn’t react to my name. If I were an official S-rank hunter, she would have recognized me immediately, but I was an S-rank hunter candidate. I don’t know much about S-rank hunter candidates from other countries either. Especially those from countries I’m not interested in.
I got into the passenger seat.
The interior was more spacious than I thought. The air was stuffy. I was a little disappointed, maybe because I was expecting something more feminine.
Hazel was holding the steering wheel, still. She was looking at the dashboard.
“What’s wrong?”
“…The scribbles and scratches on the dashboard have all disappeared.”
“Oh…. Sorry? I didn’t think about the memories in the car.”
“It’s okay. I’m the one who remembers the memories anyway. It’s a good thing that the car is clean now. Put on your seatbelt.”
Hazel put on her seatbelt. The seatbelt, digging between her breasts, emphasized her protruding breasts even more. I swallowed and put on my seatbelt. She glanced at the navigation and stepped on the accelerator.
[Day 1 Quest completed.]
[500 points and an awesome lollipop have been added to your inventory as a reward for completing the Day 1 Quest.]
[You can receive the Day 2 Quest tomorrow.]
[Awesome Lollipop
A lollipop with an awesome taste.
Price: 10 points
*It’s so awesome that you might change your mind.]
I pretended to take it out of my pocket and took out the awesome lollipop.
A small blue lollipop.
‘Just one lollipop is 10 points?’
Out of curiosity, I immediately put it in my mouth.
It was an awesome taste.
It was the most delicious lollipop I had ever eaten.
“Hey. Are you going to eat it all by yourself? Give me one too.”
I hesitated for a moment and then used 10 points to give her an awesome lollipop. She took it with one hand and put it in her mouth. Hazel’s eyes widened.
“What is this? It’s incredibly delicious. Where did you get this lollipop? I’d buy it even if it cost 10 dollars.”
“It’s a handmade lollipop. By the way, I wouldn’t sell it even for 1 billion dollars. Well, I might give it to you if you become my girlfriend.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
She stepped on the accelerator harder.
