CHAPTER 359: QUEST, QUEST, QUEST, AND QUESTS..

[ Heiren’s Quest {2}: A recipe for a broken heart

Being thrust into a married life was something the mediator didn’t plan to do, but fate had another plan for him, and now, he found himself in an unwanted marriage with a spouse who wouldn’t take care of him or any of his fellow husbands.

Help him settle in the city, start a comfortable life, and find a new love that would soothe his aching heart.

Reward: Leveling [Duplicate] skill to level 2

Time Duration: 729 hours and 59 minutes

Penalty: [Duplicate] deactivation. ]

"Why do I have to help Heiren find a new love?" Coco asked, her eyebrows pinching together in confusion.

"Find new what?" Lala repeated, blinking.

[ Alhai’s Quest {2}: A read for a broken heart

He was living comfortably in a village on the border of Amberwich City, having access to the books available in the village, drinking in knowledge like it was his favorite beverage of all time until he was forced to marry Coco Hughes.

Settling in the city was something new, but starting a new life and finding new love may help cleanse the hatred from his heart.

Give him a hand on anything he might need a hand with and you’ll probably be set for life!

Reward: Unlocking [Secular Inventory]’s second bag

Time Duration: 739 hours and 59 minutes

Penalty: [Secular Inventory] deactivation. ]

"I need to help Alhai find his love, too?" Coco asked, her voice dripping with exasperated disdain and frustration, not liking the fact that she has to help not one, but two husbands to look for new love!

Wait, no.. Don’t tell me I have to help Quizen, too? Coco thought, her face turning pale as she quickly shifted her gaze to the next quest scroll.

[ Quizen’s Quest {2}: A melody for a broken heart

A musician whose dream became unreachable and blurry as the weeks passed by, forced to marry a woman to lessen a debt he doesn’t own, forced to be tied down, locked up in the house, and beaten down to the floor— away from freedom.

Rekindle the musician’s passion for music by helping him find inspiration so help him find his muse that would ignite different tunes and melodies.

Reward: Leveling [Fool’s Gold] skill to level 2

Time Duration: 739 hours and 59 minutes

Penalty: [Fool’s Gold] deactivation. ]

"Him, too?!" Coco couldn’t help, but grabbed the three quest scrolls out of disbelief. "Why do I have to play matchmaker?!"

"Play matchmaker for who?" Lala questioned again, not sure why Coco looked like she was losing her mind.

"For them!" Coco hissed, letting go of the scrolls and jabbing a finger on the brown parchments as if the paper themselves did something to offend her entire bloodline.

The thought of helping the mediators find new love doesn’t.. Sit right with Coco.

She frowned, her eyes squinting into a menacing and discontent glare that she shot towards the scrolls before she turned her head away, opting to read the other scrolls to distract herself from the unsettling feeling in her heart.

[ Side Quest {5}: Teamwork makes the dreamwork

The third stage of the hunter license examination is coming up and from what a little birdie had said, a team will need to be formed to pass the exam!

Find three team members that you can trust to help you in this examination!

Reward: +5 passive skill points

Time Duration: 10 hours and 30 minutes

Penalty: A mild headache. ]

Coco blinked, her shoulders relaxing from tension and making the corner of her lips quirk up.

"So I don’t need to do something drastic? That’s comforting." Coco mumbled, a twinkle of relief crossing her eyes, but then, she remembered her awkward interaction with Yura and the lie she told the woman.

"Oh.. But I have to get her to my team.." She muttered, her smile vanishing from her face.

Feeling slightly distraught, Coco went ahead and read the next quest.

[ Side Quest {6}: An imposter among us

Oh, no! A sacred beast is hiding among the aspiring hunters! The sacred beast who had slept through four hundred years in the cave of monsters and now mingling with humans— quite poorly so— to look for something significant to him.

Find this disguised beast and confront him about what he was looking for.

Their business is now your business!

Reward: +5 active skill points

Time Duration: 504 hours and 50 minutes

Penalty: Skill points reduction of [Strength] and [Stamina]. ]

"Now, I can have my passive skills reduced into nothing." Coco commented, glaring menacingly towards the scroll. "Do you realize that if those two were to lessen in levels, I would be fucked?"

Coco may be whining and throwing hissy fits at everything right now, but can anyone blame her? She just received quest after quest, with seemingly impossible tasks engraved on it that she can’t not do because the penalty is grave!

"And what? A sacred beast?" She felt like tugging her hair out of her head from the information. "Why must I look for that damn beast when someone else can?"

[ Side Quest {7}: Team, team, team, team!

With you forming a team with team members you can trust, you must scout another team that you can rely on when your team is in grave danger!

Making friends in the hunter guild during the examination would be great, no?

Reward: +5 passive skill points

Time Duration: 72 hours and 59 minutes

Penalty: Skill points reduction of [Strength] and [Stamina]. ]

Why are these penalties attacking my passive skills? I need my strength on a daily basis, okay?! Get off my skills! Coco grumbled, eyebrows furrowing in annoyance.

[ Side Quest {8}: Just like a walk on a park

The third stage is easy! Just defeat monsters with your team members and all of you will be fine!

Reward: Hunter’s Gloves

Time Duration: 72 hours and 59 minutes

Penalty: N/A ]

"Thank goodness.." Coco was relieved to see that she wouldn’t suffer from anything if she were to fail to pass the examination.
