"Is there anyone who can deal with the monster?" He asked, prying for more information.
"A team has been assembled. We just need to hear a report–"
"Ergency! We've confird Grandmoo's sighting. Its size is 25 ters. I will repeat. A 25-ter big Grandmoo has been spotted! Assemble as many people as possible!
We need at least 30 rcenaries and deal with it ASAP!!"
Before Jamal finished his sentence, soone shouted loudly from inside the train and reported the sighting. The timing was immaculate.
"It seems that settles it. Let's go, newbie. You should get experience fighting dium-Class monsters. This is a rare chance to do it with other rcenaries. Just participating will give you a good reputation and monster parts. Using them, you can upgrade your gears and fight the dium-Class by yourself!"
[Ding! A new mission is generated.]
[Grandmoo Subjugation]
[Join the subjugation squad and kill Grandmoo before it reaches the railway.]
Max looked at the notification in front of and sighed. It was a main story, so he clearly couldn't refuse it.
The reward seed to be money, reputation, and monster parts if what Jamal said could be trusted. That was great.
"Alright. Let's go!"
"That's what I want to hear!
And he departed with Jamal to subjugate Grandmoo.
Usually, in rcenary Quest, the train ride to the next station would be skipped. But because this was the main storyline, a cutscene started as soon as Max stepped into the carriage with Jamal. They easily gained access because they were part of Stronghold rcenary.
He found himself seated beside Jamal among many seasoned rcenaries.
"We will imdiately confront Grandmoo. 15 people are in charge of tying it down. The others will kill it. I know our equipnt is bad. That's why we will use our numbers to kill it."
A middle-aged rcenary with a body full of scars took the position of a commander. He was apparently used to killing dium-Class monsters and briefed the strategy. His na was David.
"All participants will be given a part of the monster to create weapons or armor. Choose wisely. The biggest contributor will be given the chance to choose first."
In short, if Max wanted to get the monster part he wanted, he had to make the biggest contribution. He had to either deliver the last kill or weaken the monster.
"It's so easy to understand." He said to the viewers in a semi-transparent state, watching the cutscene.
The explanation continued for a while.
— All explanations in this ga look like it's designed for 1diots. It's easy to understand.
— Not only that, it's also detailed.
— In short, the last reward depends on the contribution. If Breeze manages to deal a lot of damage, he will be given more rewards.
— The rcenary group called Catchy will be in charge of tying the Grandmoo down. And the monster's weakness is located in its belly
— That's tricky. If Grandma ain't tied, cutting the belly from below might be doable. But this… Do your best, Breeze.
— This mission is actually a sure success. As long as he hits the monster once and doesn't die, it's a win
Reading the chat, Max beca sure of his guess.
'This is probably a mission that will lead to change my equipnt, a part of the tutorial. After that, I will have enough of a reputation to take higher Quest from the board.'
Unlike Stranded ch, rcenary Quest had a better system. Everything was thought of delicately, a proper ga with a long storyline and freedom.
"This is fun."
Before long, the train stopped with a bell sound. Max regained control of his body and looked out of the window. It didn't stop at a station but in the middle of a railway.
"Let's go!" David's voice bood inside the carriage he was in.
The door was pried open, and rcenaries ran out.
"Hyahaa!"
"Hahaha, I'll take the win!"
"I won't let you. Catchy will tie it easily. We are biggest contributor, baby!"
"No one is faster than ! I am the wind! I am flying! Hyahahahaha!"
A hill filled with greenery and flowers could be seen in the distance. And beyond that hill, a large head resembling a bull with thick fur peeked through.
Max could see two massive horns jutting out, almost reaching the sky. A heavy step caused the ground to tremble. The head that was hidden by the hill earlier appeared, and its back, which was filled with rock, could also be seen.
His eyes widened slightly.
"That's Grandmoo? The monster we need to take care of?"
— That's big, I know
— Bigger than mine, 25 is just massive
— I bet yours is only 5 cm. But dirty talk aside, Grandmoo indeed looks unreasonable from our eyes
— Welco to rcenary Quest. You've graduated from being a small dik to a real adult.
— Adult have adult enemies to fight. Good luck, rcenary. You've stepped into the adulthood stairs.
"Fuck." Max could only say that before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Co on, newbie! We won't get enough contributions if we don't hurry."
Jamal jumped off the train while holding two large daggers in his hands. He had a childish smile on his face as he began to run at a speed impossible for a normal human to achieve.
While the man was a master at yapping, apparently, he was also a master at work. No wonder he called Max a newbie.
"Could Jamal be a strong rcenary?" He asked uncertainty.
— No normal rcenary can enter Stronghold rcenary
— We will not spoil it. Jamal the Yapper is great, that's what you need to know.
— Good thing you understand that already.
— Now, you need to join them. They have almost reached the hill already!
"You're right. I can't stay here." Max jumped off the train and ran toward the Grandmoo.
The monster was still walking. It didn't seem to notice 30 humans running toward it, or it just didn't care.
From the look of it, Grandmoo just focused on marching forward like a train. What was the reason? Why was it only marching forward?
Suddenly, Max was curious about the monster's lore. He would read about it later.
"That first rank in contribution belongs to !" He shouted excitedly and got his greatsword ready. "Hyahaaa!"
— I think Breeze has gone crazy
— Yeah, he got infected by Hyahaaa illness. It happens quite a lot with rcenary Quest's player
— Their brain has been infected. Hyahaaa!
— Hyahaaa!
— Hyahaa!"
For a while, 'Hyahaaa' filled the chat.
