assistirfilmes Chapter 36
Chapter 36
After crossing the rocky mountain outpost in the *Roselia Plains*, I arrived in a new adventure area—*Silva Plains*, specifically the first village, *Kirine Village*.
At this point, more players had finished farming the outpost and were advancing to the next region. As I flowed along, starting my exploration in this new area, I decided to focus less on leveling up quickly and instead try a few side quests here and there.
I had been focusing too much on leveling and collecting gold up until now, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to leisurely roam around the continent of *Astra* while doing some small quests.
Part of my motivation was also to gradually learn more about the current state of the *Astra* continent through side quests.
After all, this was the world I would be living in from now on. It wouldn’t hurt to understand the lives and cultures of the NPCs in this era of *Astra* in more depth.
Some side quests involved killing monsters, directly contributing to leveling up, while others were simple tasks within the village, like delivering items, letters, or gathering ingredients.@@@@
Today, I was working on one of those small quests in *Kirine Village*.
But...
"Now I understand why only story enthusiasts do these kinds of quests."
[Kopopo’s Egg]
[Quest Item]
[It seems like it needs to stay warm.]
Thud, thud.
I was carrying an egg, about the size of my head, from a bird species.
It was a simple egg delivery quest with no significant reward or apparent purpose.
But most side quests were of this type.
Since I had already accepted the quest, I felt responsible for completing it.
The *Kopopo Egg Delivery* quest seemed simple on the surface, but it required a great deal of focus.
The route was from the *Kopopo Farm* on the outskirts of the village to a restaurant inside the village. Along the way, I had to stop at several braziers to warm the egg, ensuring it stayed at the right temperature. If the egg cooled down even slightly, the restaurant wouldn’t accept it.
Why, though? They’re just going to cook it anyway.
There were a lot of things I wanted to complain about, but since that’s what the quest required, I had no choice but to follow the instructions.
The first brazier was just ahead. All I had to do was place the egg over the fire for five seconds, warm it up, and continue on my way.
Thunk.
I placed the egg on the first brazier and took a brief moment to rest.
Whoosh!
“Huh?”
The *Kopopo* egg I had placed on the brazier suddenly disappeared.
In my field of vision, I spotted another player running off with the egg.
I stood there, dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold.
Why did they take it? It’s just a quest item.
The player, a blue-haired human male, was standing a little distance away from the brazier, holding the egg and smirking.
Please give it back.
I can’t finish my quest without it.
I wanted to say that, but I have an extreme aversion to interacting with others, so I couldn’t bring myself to ask him to return it.
I had no choice. Not knowing why that player took my egg, I returned to the *Kopopo Farm* to get a new one.
As I was warming up the second egg at the brazier...
Whoosh!
I decided to test each of my newly ranked-up skills.
Tatata!
Targeting an ogre in front of me, I quickly approached.
"Graaargh!"
Whoosh!
As soon as the ogre noticed me, it swung its massive club.
[Counterattack (C)]
[Move to the enemy’s rear (Cooldown: 8 seconds)]
[(Rank D) Grants invincibility while casting]
[(Rank C) Automatically switches to *Draw Stance* when used]
[Block (A)]
- Blocks attacks in a 180-degree frontal area.
- (Rank A) Successfully blocking within 0.2 seconds grants a 10-second *Vitality Buff*, increasing all damage.
Clang!
Timing it perfectly, I blocked the club, and the *Vitality Buff* enveloped me.
I then activated *Counterattack*, moving behind the ogre and switching into *Draw Stance*.
Slash, slash, slash!
"Graaargh!"
Thud.
The ogre, slashed repeatedly with my *Starlight Slash*, fell, its HP depleted in an instant. Its slow attack speed didn’t give it a chance to counter.
"Eh."
I stared blankly at the fallen ogre.
Even field monsters weren’t enough to last through my skill cycle anymore. Not even an ogre with so much HP.
Perhaps my skill ranks had increased from diligently using *Counterattack* while fighting *Galoban* in the outpost.
At rank C, *Counterattack* no longer required *Draw Stance* to be active. Instead, it automatically switched me into *Draw Stance* when used.
If used from *Draw Stance*, it would behave as before.
If used from a regular stance, it would switch me into *Draw Stance*.
In other words, I could now switch into *Draw Stance* every 8 seconds without relying on *Moonlight Slash*. The *Vitality Buff* that lasted for 10 seconds paired perfectly with this.
Every 10 seconds, I could trigger a 0.2-second *Just Guard*, gain the *Vitality Buff*, maintain *Draw Stance*, and unleash powerful attacks without missing a beat.
Swordsmanship was a simple and powerful job.
Let’s hope it doesn’t get nerfed.

Isn't this the same person who was the first to own the full *Orc Warrior* set from *Orc Forest*?
I saw them earlier today, carrying an egg while I was on my way to do daily quests in *Rosel Forest*. They looked so cute, I stole it.
But when I saw their sad expression, I felt super guilty and returned it. ;;;
[Comments]
- That's them, LOL! Still cute as hell.
- OMG... LOL.
- Wow, what a demon. How could you steal an egg from such a cute person?
- Are they really a minor? Or just using a smaller character model
? I'd love to run dungeons with them.
- Hey, you're from the *Betarion Empire*, right? Don’t go to *Rosel Forest* now. Chris is rampaging. All *Mana Stones* are getting looted.
ᄂThe poster has blue hair too. Blue-haired characters are her main targets right now. Chris charges at them like a bull.
