[Class Mutation Quest â 4 Stars]
[Quest 1: As a special existence, you inherently carry the fate of the entire human race upon your shoulders. Therefore, you must take humanityâs destiny as your own responsibility and do things beneficial to the prosperity of humankind. (For example: kill spies from foreign races, eliminate awakeners from hostile forces, repel monster invasions, kick an enemy nationâs princess really hard...)]
???
Why does it feel like something weird got mixed in there...?
Caelan froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
Right after that, he shifted his gaze to the remaining quests.
[Quest 2: Collect the tokens of the Ten Great Ruins and gather them all together]
[Quest 3: Revenge from the monsters. You once hunted a large number of monsters, but those same monsters have also become shadows deep within your heart. Clear the Inner Forest Instance and personally kill all of your inner shadows.]
Caelan had never expectedâ
this time, [Class Mutation Quest] had refreshed three quests at once!
But then again...
Three quests was three quests. It didnât feel all that hard.
The problem was, Caelan couldnât shake the feeling that he was being targeted.
He had once helped Alyssa complete her [Class Mutation Quest], and hers had clearly only contained one task.
So why did his come with three?
If that wasnât targeting, what was?!
After silently ranting in his heart for a while,
Caelan finally calmed down.
No matter what, he still had to find a way to complete the [Class Mutation Quest] as quickly and efficiently as possible!
After all, the boost from this star upgrade was obviously enormous!
Letâs start with Quest 1.
Judging from the description, it didnât seem too hard on the surface.
Because according to the description, as long as Caelan did things that helped humanity develop, it would count toward completion.
But how exactly was "helping humanity develop" defined?
The quest description wasnât very clear about that, but Caelan felt that for him, it actually wasnât that difficult.
After all, even without this quest, Caelan had already done plenty of things that benefited humanity.
As for Quest 2, it was clearly much more troublesome.
Although the objective itself was simple, the Ten Great Ruins were all located in different places.
So farming it would definitely waste more time.
Still, Quest 2 had one advantage: as long as he spent enough time, completion was guaranteed.
The only problem wasâ
who exactly dropped these so-called tokens?
Under normal circumstances, killing a boss might drop a token.
But up to this point, Caelan had killed plenty of bossesâat the very least hundreds of thousands of themâyet he hadnât even seen the shadow of a token.
So instinctively, he wanted to get some intel from Marov.
However, awkwardly enough, Marov was busy collecting materials for him and wasnât in the Instance Control Center at the moment.
Right now, the entire Instance Control Center only had the receptionist.
But she...
Perhaps sensing that Caelan needed help, the receptionist took the initiative and walked over, wearing a polite and gentle smile.
"Honored Mr. Caelan, is there anything I can help you with?"
"You donât need to mind what happened earlier. I was too abrupt, so..."
"In any case, Iâm very sorry. Iâll be more careful from now on and focus on my duties properly. I definitely wonât cause you any trouble."
Facing the receptionistâs apology, Caelan nodded and chose to forgive her.
But he keenly sensed that she seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty.
As a warm-hearted young man who liked helping others, Caelan took the initiative to ask,
"So what exactly happened? Do you need my help?"
A trace of hesitation appeared on the receptionistâs face. Then she bit her lip, her eyes reddening as she said,
"Honored Mr. Caelan, I know you are a very powerful awakener."
"Actually... I didnât mean to... do that to you on purpose. Itâs just that my hometown, the beautiful Xitar City-State, is facing an unprecedented crisis."
"The Dark Flame Ruins... monsters are rampaging there, and the city-state is on the verge of collapse. I hoped you would help. Of course, I know very well that someone as busy as you probably doesnât have much time. So I could only... only..."
As she spoke, the receptionist could no longer hold it in and began to sob quietly.
The whole person looked like an abandoned little kittenâjust one glance was enough to make people feel sorry for her.
"Uh... donât cry first."
Caelan felt a little awkward, because he really had no experience comforting girls.
"I think... regarding the Dark Flame Ruins, I might be able to help you. But before that, I may need to handle a few other things first."
Hearing Caelanâs words, the receptionist froze for a second, then lifted her head.
Her reddened eyes were now sparkling, and the way she looked at Caelan had become full of dependence.
"Really? Mr. Caelan, thank you so much!"
As she spoke, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into Caelanâs arms.
Mm...
So the uniform really was too big after all. Who wouldâve thought this receptionist was another hidden master living in seclusion!
"Ahem, no need to thank me. Itâs what I should do."
"But before that, I need you to help me with something."
The receptionistâs body had already gone completely limp in Caelanâs arms.
The moment she heard the words "help me," she subconsciously tried to turn around and bend over.
Huh???
No, noâyouâve got the wrong idea!
With a helpless expression, Caelan scooped the receptionist up in a princess carry and placed her on the sofa nearby.
"Um... I need you to help me check information on ruin tokens."
"Iâve killed plenty of monsters and even bosses, so why have I never farmed a token? Am I just unbelievably unlucky, or am I doing it wrong??"
The receptionist froze for a moment, and a small trace of disappointment appeared on her cheeks.
But very quickly, she entered work mode.
Her nimble fingers tapped across the screen so fast they practically left afterimages!!
"Wait, let me check!"
"According to the internal records of the Instance Control Center, the drop rate of these tokens is strongly linked to a type of monster called a [Mimic]!"
"So, Mr. Caelan, you need to find a [Mimic] inside the ruins and kill it. Only then is it possible to obtain the token you need."
Caelan nodded, then asked another question,
"Then let me ask you thisâare there any tokens for sale in the auction house?"
A moment later, the receptionist gave the most standard answer possible,
"Currently, there are none in the auction house. According to the records, there has only been one transaction in a private internal auctionâand that was twelve years ago!"
