章 15: Information
"I got it."
"Depending only on pokemons is stupid, you should trust yourself"
For four weeks, according to the game's time flow, Volkner improved his stats as much as he could in the Training Center. To his surprise, he's gained a bit of fame – it never hurts to have some fame.
The more fame you have, the cheaper you can buy goods at grocery stores, pharmacies, or blacksmith shops, and you can earn more respect by talking or trading with NPCs.
The instructor, who was pleasantly watching him from a distance, walked up to Volkner and said:
"Good work, my great friend."
"Thank you sir."
"I didn't expect you to go this far. However, you overcame my prejudice. I'm very proud of you."
"I am indebted to your teachings, Honored Instructor."
"Haha! You are absolutely correct." The instructor laughed heartily.
Volkner knew from experience how high a single word could elevate an instructor.
The instructor handed a sword to Volkner.
"What is this sword...?"
"It's yours. This sword is awarded to a man who completes the basic training program."
"Basic training..."
A question suddenly occurred to Volkner.
He learned by accident that he could improve stats by swinging a wooden sword at a scarecrow in the Training Facility.
While scouring online gaming communities, he had read a post about it on a forum run by a few small clans.
Therefore, he focused on increasing his stats as much as possible in the Training Hall before starting in earnest.
Volkner had good reason for this, although he admitted that it might seem inefficient to invest four weeks to slowly improve his stats, one by one.
As far as other users are concerned, they would rather spend less time acquiring an item that boosts their stats so little or fawning over NPC'S and trying to get something good.
"Still," Volkner thought, "it's not the same as training hard to strengthen one's avatar stats. It makes a difference, a big one."
Luckily, you can pick up a good item during a quest, but your original stats will be the same no matter what items you are equipped with. Suppose you increase 10 points of strength and imagine what it will be like when you wear a necklace of +5 STR.
The statistics that Volkner had trained at the Training Center would help him until the last minute of the game.
Volkner pondered the significance of the instructor's remark and finally asked, "Do you know how many people have completed basic training so far?"
"Sixteen here," the instructor replied immediately.
he added.
"The continent is vast, Volkner. I think there are a total of 3,800 foreigners who have completed the basic training program at all the Training Centers. As far as I know, no one has finished basic training as quickly as you."
Thirty-eight hundred people! Volner's eyes glowed with fire. So many talented people with a will of steel!
"They are my potential rivals"
His next question broke a brief moment of silence.
"You said this is basic training. Do you provide a higher level training program?"
"I don't, but there are other places."
"Where are they?"
"I don't know where they are located. I heard they were only open to those who were destined to find them, whether you have luck or skill, it's all up to you. You must finish a basic level to qualify for the next level of skill." training."
"Thanks for the information, Honorable Instructor."
"Don't mention it."
Volkner was now done with Training Hall. As he turned to leave, the instructor called out to him.
"Volkner, do you have a plan?"
"Excuse me sir?"
"An expeditionary force is scheduled to leave for Hazar's Lair in a week. A colleague of mine is the force commander. His name is Andreas. If you have nothing better to do now, why don't you lend him your sword? ?"
『A cleanup operation in Hazar's lair』
『Kanto Kingdom has suffered a lot from monsters, which have increased in number in the last decade. King Theodor, the just and benevolent ruler of Kanto, issued a royal diploma to order a distinguished knight, Sir Andreas, to explore Hazar's Lair and slay monsters. Eradicate the monsters in Hazar's Lair with Sir Abdreas and his soldiers.』
『Difficulty: E』
『Quest Requirement』
『Failed if you get killed.』
The instructor's proposal was a mission that any other user would gladly accept. The Royal Kanto Army abounds in well-organized and trained soldiers. The average level for soldiers is almost thirty, and the level of a knight is over 150 levels.
In particular, those knights with their own name among the ranks are revered as elite Knights. Its levels are between levels 180-220. This size of force can clear out any lair with no complications. Hazar's Lair will likely be no exception.
According to Volkner's research, Hazar's Lair was infested by monkey zubat at levels at levels 20 and Primeape, geodude at levels 30.
All Volkner needed to do after joining the force on the mission was stay alive, whether he looked like he was actively part of a battle or not. It was a golden opportunity offered to him by the instructor's good will. But Volkner shook his head.
'I don't have any equipment or pokemon... It's basically suicide if something goes wrong'
"I'm sorry sir."
『You declined the quest.』
"No way. What's bothering you, Volkner…?"
"It's nothing. I just don't have class yet or a pokemon yet"
"Oh my Arceus… you're right! I acted rashly. Visit me anytime. I'll let you know if I can recommend a quest that's right for you."
Not only did the instructor reach level two hundred, but he also kept in touch with the soldiers who were trained by him. In other words, he had established his own network in the Royal Army.
Still, the instructor's relatively humble position prevented him from being tracked down by high-ranking officials.
Suddenly, the instructor asked in a low voice:
"Volkner, have you chosen which class you want to convert to?"
"I have yet to decide. I have to go to the intelligence guild and see what class they recommend."
The intelligence guild advises users depending on their stats and skills.
