God of Tricksters

Chapter 341 - Missions

After settling down on the new house and testing every single room, Theo had finally gotten his free time.

He sat in the beach chair next to the pool, enjoying the breeze that mixed with the cool water.

Next to him stood Ava with an innocent face, looking at Theo's Skylink.

"Kyu?!" Ava tilted her head in confusion.

"I am just trying to find some missions for our journey. We are not leaving until I reach Level 230, you know." Theo smirked, feeling a bit fired up. He thought 44 levels were enough for his first trip and it shouldn't take him a month to do it if he judged his speed according to what he had experienced with Alea and the others.

"Kyu!" Ava suddenly pointed at a single mission.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the mission.

Mission: Kill a Rare Zombie Warrior and get the Undead Flesh Card.

Level: 230

Reward: 500,000 Zils

"Hmm. This is an easy mission I guess. The reward is also appropriate." Theo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Sure. Let's take this mission. I will find the information about the zombie, the location, and its environment later."

"Kyu!" Ava smiled.

Theo squinted his eyes and glanced at Ava, who stood next to his head. "The reason you are suggesting this mission is not that you want to eat it yourself, right?"

Ava opened her mouth in surprise before shaking her head furiously. She even opened her mouth and made a gesture as if someone was vomiting, trying to tell Theo that the flesh was disgusting and she didn't want to eat it.

"Well, if you don't have any hidden intention." Theo shrugged.

Ava nodded a few times.

"For now, let's check the map first so we know we can get another mission in that area. I know that it's impossible to get more than a mission, but I can just put it in my notebook and try to get a reward from the missions that remain on the quest board." Theo then checked the zombie's location.

"Hmm, it's in the Mystic Valley. The place is not that dangerous since there's only Level 255 Monster at the highest. Let's check the missions around that area."

Theo added the filter of the area, including the places surrounding it.

Surprisingly, he found another mission that seemed to be perfect for him.

Mission: Find three Purple Haze Grass in Big Sin Valley.

Level: 245

Reward: 1,000,000 Zils

"Purple Haze Grass is usually used for medicine, so the reward is quite expensive. Mystic Valley has two entrances. The first one is coming from the Deserted Great Hill and the second one is Big Sin Valley.

"I can enter the Mystic Valley from Deserted Great Hill and increase my level there for a while. After completing the mission, I can make my way to Big Sin Valley and get this grass. Then that means I can get another mission in this area." Theo smiled.

He scrolled down a bit more and soon found another mission.

Mission: Kill Megalo Fish in Kai River.

Level: 250

Reward: 1,000,000 Zils

"This Megalo Fish is the king of the Kai River that runs through next to the hills. Its first destination is Lambert Lake…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows as soon he saw this familiar name.

He remembered that he received the request to kill a monster in that lake. Now that he found some connections between them, he wondered if he should choose another mission.

"Ehm? Should I choose a new one that is not around this place?" Theo thought for a moment and looked at the sky. "But if I am scared because of this, how about those who will come at me a bit later? Not to brag about my achievement, but those companies or organizations will surely try to recruit me.

"If they are trying to aim at me, should I be afraid? Still, it won't end well if I do everything recklessly." Theo sighed. "This is hard."

"Kyu!" Ava suddenly pointed at the map next to Kai's river.

Theo glanced at the map and saw a small path that was drawn on the map. It seemed to be the path that many hunters used to go to Big Sin Valley directly.

"Hmm… This path is between Kai's River and Lambert Lake. If I am unsure, I can always retreat through this path or fly by using my Telekinesis. At the same time, if Megalo Fish is swimming near Lambert Lake, I can choose not to finish this mission since I'm not officially taking it. That's it." Theo gave a thumbs up to Ava. "I also need to raise my levels along the way, so this kind of trip will take a whole one or two weeks. Together with the time I need to take to travel from Ark City, it will take almost a month… I guess."

"Kyu, Kyu!" Ava puffed her chest as if trying to encourage him.

"Right… I have no one behind me right now and the government won't protect me like when I'm in the tournament. Hence, I shouldn't be afraid and take some risks while making sure I have a backup plan to safely retreat." Theo nodded.

Ava agreed with Theo's statement.

"But I will just take a look at another place's missions to see if I can get a better offer than these three or four…"

"Kyu?!" Ava opened her mouth wide in surprise, never expecting Theo could throw away something they had worked together that easily.

"Haha." Theo laughed at Ava's reactions. "It's fine, it's fine. I will remember your efforts."

Unfortunately for Theo, such a mission combination wasn't that easy to find. If everything went smoothly, he could get 2,500,000 Zils in one month. It could increase drastically if he decided to go for the one in Lambert Lake.

Meanwhile, the missions he found couldn't even give him 1,500,000 Zils, so it was quite a letdown for Theo.

Theo ended up agreeing with this schedule and prepared everything, including his weapons, glasses, spices, and tents, since he needed to go for a long journey.

Because he didn't have Phyrill, he needed to plan for the water sources and other things. It was quite tiring to know that he needed to do all of those tasks alone. He would surely find a teammate if he didn't have his Clone Skill.
