89 – Claiming the rewards

As I had nothing to do, I opened the system window and saw that there were many unread messages, so I started reading them one by one.

So, the first message was,

‘ding’

‘Host has upgraded hidden ability related to HP and Defense, as the (Defense) stat has reached 250’

‘1- HP limit has been increased by 2000.’

‘2- Every time the (Defense) stat increases by 1, HP will increase by 50.’

.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on my face but then I continued reading the next message.

‘ding’

‘Host has upgraded hidden ability related to Sense & MP, as the (Sense) stat has reached 250’

‘Every 15 seconds, host will recover 1 MP.’

‘Note- but due to being poisoned, host will recover 1 MP every 25 seconds.’

.

Reading this assured me that soon, I won't have to buy MP potions from the shop and can start saving some money.

Well, it's just that the poison in my body is affecting the MP recovery time and HP generation. As I have successfully increased the ‘Resistance’ stat to 76, I unlocked the hidden ability related to ‘Resistance and HP’ and this hidden ability generated my HP by 1 every minute, and if I am sleeping the 2 HP per minute. But because of the poison, that ability is inactive.

But luckily, soon I will be cured, then I can save money spent of HP and MP potions.

Putting this matter behind. i continued reading messages,

‘ding’

‘Host has completed the quest – By Hook or Crook.’

Missions:

1. Defeat the Bald guy – Reward 2 times Exp --> [COMPLETE] & [Reward has been claimed]

2. Kill the Bald guy- Reward 5 times Exp / +5 Luck stat / +2 Vitality --> [COMPLETE] & [Reward has been claimed]

3. Kill the bald guy’s underlings (At least 10 humans) – Reward double EXP per kill --> [INCOMPLETE]

4. Annihilate the bald guy’s whole group (Including his leader, other vice leaders and the whole crew) – Reward 3 times Exp per kill --> [INCOMPLETE]

5. Succeed in escaping with Armelia – Reward promotion of Marathon Runner (Rookie) to next level --> [INCOMPLETE]

‘Congratulations, host has completed 2 missions out of 5 and is eligible for the quest rewards.’

‘Host please choose any 2 rewards for completing the quest’

Quest Completion rewards: (Any 2)

1. 300 Free stat points

2. +8 Luck points

3. +4 Vitality points

4. 1,000,000 sikka

5. Random skill

.

Well, I did defeat and kill the bald guy, so I was able to complete two missions and I had already accepted the rewards.

And after the mission was issued, I was only able to kill 3-4 underlings of the bald guy and at that time my primary objective was to kill the bald guy and hence I was not focused on killing other people. And after killing the bald guy, before I could complete the 3 rd mission; Burly guy, Rob and his people arrived and captured me.

And let’s not talk about the 4 th mission because, it was practically impossible for me to completely annihilate their entire group.

But as for the 5 th mission – Succeed in escaping with Armelia; it is marked as incomplete.

After thinking for a few moments, I realized that although we got saved by Sheela and her guards, system did not consider it as us being able to escape, hence the mission is marked as Incomplete.

Well, whatever it's not like I am losing something. Although, 5 th mission’s reward will upgrade the title ‘Marathon Runner (Rookie)’ to next level, I did not feel much loss.

So, putting this matter behind. My attention was focused on the quest rewards.

And after having a look, I felt that I was put in a tough situation.

Because all the rewards are extremely attractive and when just allowed to select only 2 rewards makes me feel depressed.

‘Vitality’ and ‘Luck’ stat points are definitely a requirement for me. Because, my luck has been really bad from the past few days (well of course considering the days that I was awake and not unconscious). And even I was told that the poison in my body can be cured in 2 years, I still need to increase the ‘Vitality’ stat because I feel that if my ‘Vitality’ stat decreases again then my ‘Resistant’ stat might also decrease. (It’s like I will wait for 2 years to get cured and since 1 Vitality stat means, I have 1 year left to live, then after 2 years it will go down by 2.). And then I will be back to [One of ‘Stat’ limits have been reached] problem and if I try to increase my stats then I will have to experience hellish pain. So, ‘Vitality’ and ‘Luck’ stat is definitely a requirement.

Getting 300 ‘Free stat points’ is also very tempting. As I can see that; I have collected 500 ‘Free stat points’ and if get these 300 ‘Free stat points’ then surely after investing them in my stats, I can get a huge power boost.

But most of my attention is on the reward – Random Skill.

Now, why would this reward be any good? Because what if I get an awesome skill.

There are few skills in my possession but the skills that I use most frequently can be counted on one hand like- ‘Observation' skill, ‘Stealth’ skill and the ‘Sprint’ skill.

I am only using 3 skills frequently, while there are 2-3 skills which I have yet to use them in action. Hence, I was thinking if possible, I would like to get a good skill.

As for the last reward: 1 million sikka, I think it would be good to increase my savings but nonetheless, that’s the last thing I would select in this situation.

Now then what should I choose?

(+4 Vitality stats) or (+8 Luck Stats) or (Random Skill) or the (300 Free stat points).

After thinking for a few minutes, I decided to go with;

+4 Vitality stats

And

Random Skill
