God’s Natural Enemy Returns Chapter 161

104. Personal Quest (1)

[I can’t believe it! All the trains were completely cleaned!]

[You have cleared the sub-quest, .]

-To use that rookie sorcerer like this… … I have to give him some credit for his wit.

‘Even the remaining brain can be considered a strategy if used well.’

-Tch.

Leaving behind Mehen’s jealousy, which was not jealousy.

Sihyeon continued to check the messages.

[Item, ‘Station Pass (E)’ is upgraded to D grade.]

[Additional rewards are given!]

[Item, ‘Station Pass (D)’ is upgraded to C grade.]

[Station Pass (C)]

… …

You can now process two requests at the same time.

1) You can now process 3 requests at the same time.

2) You can enter the Illusion Maze on the 2nd basement floor.

“oh……?”

This is a step upgrade of the ‘Station Pass (E)’.

This was a reward that even Sihyeon had not expected.

‘I originally planned to complete the sub-quests I received from D-rank, but… … Well, if I get promoted quickly, I can get better quests, so it’s not a bad thing.’

Looking at the pass that had changed from bronze, to silver, and then to gold.

Sihyeon smiled with satisfaction.

‘Well, no player could perfectly clean all the trains in the change station by themselves.’

Not only did I not receive a sub-quest.

Currently, other human players have not even reached the change station.

The gap between Sihyeon and the other human players who have already entered the Train Maze has become too wide to be bridged.

But that didn’t mean I could be satisfied.

We had to roll with the current situation and move further ahead.

‘Then you can monopolize the rewards.’

You can process as many as three requests at once.

If you wanted, you could go to the next maze, the Illusion Maze.

‘It’s too early to go to the Illusion Maze. It’s not a good place to go just because you go there first.’

Sihyeon muttered like that and returned to her dorm with a smile.

***

“What is this?”

“It is my sincerity.”

The accommodation where Sihyeon is staying.

Although it is called a lodging facility, it is much larger and has better facilities than most hotels.

It was mainly inhabited by dwarves and other races who had found the Train Maze.

The general manager of this place was a stone man of the gold rank.

The majority of the workers who make up these people are bronze-caste earthen people.

That is, the stone people that Shihyeon encountered most often were of the bronze class.

“I told you, there’s no need for this.”

“It’s my sincerity. Thank you so much for cleaning.”

When Sihyeon returned to her lodgings, there were five rooms in her residence.

However, one room was filled with ‘gifts’ from the bronze caste stone people.

“Master. This weapon looks really nice. And it’s a dagger.”

“You use it. Then.”

“Hehehe. Thank you.”

Even while Dacon was checking the gifts he received from the stone people.

The gifts of the bronze caste stone people were unstoppable.

In the end, Si-Hyeon came forward and said, ‘Stop coming to the dorm.’

Their gift barrage has stopped.

-Is the bond between the stone and the earth this strong?

‘Yes. Well, only within the same class.’

-That’s strange. They seem to be stickier than humans.

Sihyeon nodded in agreement.

The stone people had a strong bond with each other, so when one of them died, they were deeply saddened.

Of course, it wasn’t Sihyeon who saved the bronze class stone man.

It’s true that he killed Iron Snake by cleaning the subway.

Considering that 95% of the deaths of Bronze Class Stone People are caused by Iron Snakes.

Sihyeon had indirectly saved their lives.

“Still, the more free rewards the better.”

“that’s right.”

Dacon laughed, fiddling with a dagger.

It was a Grade A dagger with a special effect that allowed it to easily cut through dirt and minerals.

“Yeah, you’ve worked hard.”

Sihyeon smiled as she stroked Dakkon’s head while he was sitting there.

“Still, thanks to you, I was able to find it quickly.”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s just an order!”

Dacon quickly hid his expression and slammed the door shut as he went in.

“Ugh… … . I’m not a teenage girl.”

Sihyeon shook her head at the sight.

“Don’t you know that it’s okay for a family to act like that?”

-That’s right. These days, elves are so shameless.

While I was opening each of the gifts the Stone People gave me, I threw them into the Kibisis.

[Fallen King Lee Si-Hyeon. The station master is calling.]

The system in Sihyeon’s quarters sent an alarm.

***

“I can’t believe it.”

“… … To be honest, yes.”

Change station, stationmaster’s office measuring 100 pyeong.

The cosio inside it burst out in pure admiration.

“Yes, Kirisu. Can our proud Diamond Class clean all the subways in just one week?”

“It’s impossible.”

Cosio’s adjutant, Kirisu, spoke firmly.

“Even for me, a week is too much. Finding those guys is already a task.”

“Yes. I think it’s impossible even with the five Diamond Ranks present here. We’re especially weak against the Iron Snakes.”

Kirisu nodded after hearing those words.

“Yes. This is a matter of compatibility rather than ability. If the five of us come forward, we can easily handle the task, but… … .”

“You couldn’t have cleaned everything like that in a week.”

“Yes. Even at the shortest estimate, it would have taken at least a month.”

“But you’re saying that a person with a mere E-class pass was able to do that?”

To be exact, it was something he had accomplished with his own power.

Since the one handling that divine being was also human, it could be seen that he did it.

“Are all humans like that? No. Considering that all the humans here were destroyed by a mere Predator, that human must be special. Yes. How can a normal human handle a divine being? Right?”

“That’s right!”

“Yeah. If it’s that human… … .”

Cosio smiled brightly.

“I think we can complete one of the ‘special missions’ the Dwarves have given us.”

smart.

“Come in.”

About 30 minutes later.

Sihyeon, wearing all the items, entered Cosio’s office.

“The facilities are nice.”

“Then. It’s the stationmaster’s office of a station whose size ranks in the top 4.”

Exactly.

Then Cosio snapped his fingers.

A magical field was created that covered the entire room.

“Human player, no, Fallen King Lee Si-Hyeon. I would like to entrust you with a ‘personal’ request.”

When Sihyeon heard those words, the corners of her mouth went up on their own.

Private Quest.

The quality of rewards is different from the sub-quests that can be completed simply by having a station pass.

It was a quest that could only be completed after receiving a lot of ‘trust’ from the stone people.

Of course, the rewards and difficulty level vary greatly depending on the ‘character’ who gives the personal quest.

Cosio is currently the most influential and powerful being in the entire Train Maze.

As such, it was certain that it had the highest difficulty and rewards.

‘Even before the return, no player received a personal quest from the stationmaster. As expected… …First impressions are important.’

“Shall we first hear the details of your request?”

***

“Before I entrust you with a personal request, I need to explain our situation. Oh, and I hope what I say doesn’t get out.”

“Sure.”

Thanks to you for clearing the sub-quest so well.

Sihyeon was quite trusted by Kosio.

“We, the Earthlings, are beings created by the needs of the creators, the dwarves. We work for them and run the trains.”

Up to this point, Sihyeon also knew the story.

But the story that followed was one that even Sihyeon didn’t know well.

“Is that why? The dwarves gave us some ‘tasks’.”

Although it was expressed as a task.

From the perspective of the stone people, it is no different from the ‘words’ given by the Creator.

It was natural to work hard in itself.

There are a total of four ‘words’ that the dwarves left to the stone people.

The first of these was to build a system that would allow the dwarves to move anywhere within the maze.

Because of this order, the Stonemen created this maze called the Train Maze to move the dwarves.

Second, we will devise a business that can earn points by dealing with the foreign races that come here.

Because of this order, they built various convenience facilities.

Third, unauthorized aliens, angels, demons, gods, and especially transcendent beings such as ‘dragons’ will be killed without exception.

Because of this order, the stone people each absorbed minerals and became stronger.

‘Well, dwarves have a trauma about dragons.’

And the fourth and final command.

It was a matter of getting rid of their ‘failure’ which was somewhere on the first basement level.

“The ‘failure’ that the dwarves are talking about is the mother of all iron snakes, ‘Medusa.’”

“medusa.”

Sihyeon’s eyes widened when she heard that name.

‘I never thought I’d hear that name here.’

One of the very few beings among the snake-type demons who have achieved ‘divine status’.

Any being below the level of a low-level god is afflicted with the ‘Abnormal Condition: Petrification’, which causes their entire body to turn to stone simply by making eye contact.

‘Of course it can’t be the real Medusa. That one was beheaded by Perseus a long time ago.’

Sihyeon frowned.

‘Then why is this guy named Medusa? Is it just a name? Dwarves wouldn’t be named after famous gods, right? But it can’t be the real Medusa… . . . ‘

Into the ears of Si-Hyeon, who is lost in all sorts of thoughts.

Cosio’s voice came in and stuck.

“If you catch Medusa, I’ll give you one of the things you want… no, two. One of the things inside this ‘Change Station’.”

You’re giving me not one, but two of the items I want.

Considering the numerous items at the change station.

My mouth was already watering.

‘Of course, you said that assuming I didn’t know about the secret station.’

Secret station.

To a hidden place in a huge station like Change Station.

There were even items here that the dwarves had ‘made themselves’.

“By the way, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”

“Something?”

“I don’t know about gold rank, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to send diamond or platinum rank earthen people?”

Cosio nodded at those words.

“Of course. But there’s something you should know. Each station is not so peaceful.”

“Ah… … No way?”

“Yeah. Cold War.”

Cosio sighed.

“Each station is in a state of cold war. Especially the huge stations that rank in the top 10 are even forming factions.”

Sihyeon nodded after hearing that.

‘I think I’ve heard it before the regression.’

At the time, I wasn’t interested because it didn’t have much of an effect on human players.

If there was such a direct connection, it would be a different story.

“This is what the station master was really after.”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“Are you planning to use human players to capture Medusa and receive a reward from the dwarves for that achievement?”

“In the process, we will also stop the bleeding of our troops. If you catch him, that would be possible.”

“Then, if I exaggerate a little… … .”

“Yes. I will become the general manager and king of this train station.”

Cosio did not hide his ambition.

Anyway, the opponent has guessed everything.

It was judged that it was better to disclose transparently and then gain cooperation rather than hiding one’s true feelings and losing trust.

“What do you think? Should I do it?”

“Sure.”

Sihyeon stood up and held out her hand.

“I’m happy to get all the items, and the stationmaster gets one step closer to his ambition. Isn’t it a win-win situation?”

“Hahaha. I really like that cool attitude.”

[You have obtained the personal quest, .]

Objective: Defeat Medusa within the ‘Train Maze’.

Reward: Select and obtain 2 items from those existing in the Change Station.

Additional Reward: Station Pass Promotion (promotion occurs regardless of current rank).

In case of failure: No penalty.

trust?

That didn’t matter.

From Sihyeon’s perspective, he knew that since the ‘system’ had already approved it in the form of a quest, Cosio could not betray him.

From Cosio’s perspective, it was certain that Sihyeon would proceed with the quest for the reward.

“Oh, and there’s something important.”

“Something important?”

“yes.”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“I need something when I go to hunt Medusa. Even though I’m a freelancer, I’m sure you can at least provide me with this much support, right?”
