Child of Destiny

Even though the game can be played while sleeping Shin still needs to take care of himself so that he can maintain his healthy condition. Whatʼs more he is just using a VR helmet and not VR Capsule where you can use a ʼS-class Serumʼ to replenish the energy in your body even if you didnʼt eat anything.

Whatʼs more he needs to practice regularly so that his strength will not detoriate. Especially since he is in the early phase of ʼQi Regimentʼ stage.

After his morning practice and duel with Arthur, he chat with him about the game while eating before coming back to his room and taking a shower and then logging in back in the game.

....

The moment Shin get back in the game he go straight to the Blacksmith Shop and look for Mr.Orn.

The blacksmith shop is quite ordinary, it looks like a simple house with a signboard in front of it. There words written in it is ʼOrnʼs Blacksmith Shopʼ.

And when he enter all he saw is a furnace in the side and shelf of different kinds of tools and weapons.

Few minutes later a person enter a shop, no to be exact it s a dwarf. He is almost a meter in height, chubby face and fat belly. He is also wearing a working apron. From the looks of it he is Mr. Orn.

When Mr. Orn see Shin enters his Shop, he said to him directly ” I heard from Chief that you are going to help me. Then take this pickaxe and help me mine some Iron in the cave in the forest in the south of the village. And while you are at it help me kill some boar in there and take their tusk and skins.”

Mr. Orn give Shin a pickaxe and a gathering knife together with two production type white skill books

Shin stared blankly on the four items in his hands and process what was just happened. Then he learned the two production skills and put the two items in his inventory, then he sank in a deep thought. ”Two production skills from the get go? is it luck or...?

That right the ʼFameʼ base on what Arthur said I can easily get a quest from the NPC if I have a higher Fame, I can even get an extra reward every time I finished a quest.”

”And 60 Fame is already high in this place”. conclude Shin before looking in the updated quest.

Shin run out he southern part of the village with his sword in his waist. When he get there he saw a lot of players busily farming for EXP, he walk pass them and enter the forest and continue going deeper.

There are fewer and fewer of Players he come across as he walk even deeper in it. He didnʼt get scared of the monsters since his current stats can rival a normal level 10 Players so he just continue walking leisurely.

ʼA Level 0 walking on Level 5 - 7 field is that noob lost or is he just an idiot or is just looking to die.ʼ These are the thoughts of the other players when they saw Shin walking pass them.

ʼWhat a pity, there are enough monster here but I canʼt grind some EXP since those people will get suspicious when they saw me fighting this monsters. Iʼm not like Arthur that always want to be in the spotlight, I need to keep a low profile for now.ʼ said Shin to himself when he is looking around.

After of an hour of walking he finally get at his destination. There are a lot of wild boars walking to and fro few distance away from him.

There are a lot of monsters here because the boars here are troublesome to deal with. Even though their attack pattern is simple and predictable, they still have very high defense so you have to spend a lot of time and effort just to kill one. And they also have a swift movement speed when they are attacking on a straight line.

Whatʼs more there are some monsters that are easier to deal with and give a similar amount of EXP.

Shin observe the boars carefully, their physic , movements and their habits. Then an expected notification ring on his ears.
