After he was done with the ore shopping, he visited the Hunters Association to pick up ten monster hunting quests as usual. Now that he was a Gold-rank Hunter. He could pick A and S grade difficulty quests. S-grade was still too difficult for him unless he had Samuel or an equivalent native accompanying him. But even then, it would still take too long a time dealing with monsters in the S-grade list.
So with Peniel's info, he took the A-grade hunting quests of which he was most likely encountering along his way.
Next, he headed to Ellie's Restaurant and Amy's Bakery to pick up his profits. On his way, he received a message from Dylan.
"Dude. Where are you? I got a quest that you might be interested in," his message said.
"That's rare of you to contact me about a quest. Let me guess, this quest involves fighting?" Jack replied.
