Online Cluster: Great Tomb
Chapter 5: The Four Star Quest
On Sunday at 08:30, I entered Cluster Online. After leaving the last place I was in the game last night, I immediately headed towards the main hall. There I saw Dimas sitting on a sofa with five uniquely shaped boxes on the table.
“Weh, already in. Tumben quick login.”
“Not back yah?”
I replied to her words while approaching her while looking at the boxes on the table. The boxes are black with a gold edge, then the top looks like a red gemstone. I think I know what this box is.
“Quest box?”
“Iya, this morning there is a discounted price promo 80% Quest Box, so buy five.”
Quest Box, or more simply referred to as a quest box, is an item that can be purchased at the main NPC of the city for one hundred thousand credits. The quest box can provide quests at random.
Generally, quests are divided into five parts. Players usually distinguish it from the stars that will appear on the quest paper. The more stars, the more difficult it is to complete, but it will give a good result. Either that's a gun or something else. Well, in other words, gacha.
“For what to buy up to five cuy? Considering the quest in this game is hard.”
Like I said. The quest of this game is really difficult even just for one-star quests.
“Yah. Want to try opening one gak?”
“Hmm. I'm not out of credit anyway, ‘kan?”
I sat on the sofa opposite Dimas. But as soon as I sat down, he took the remaining four boxes and stood up, then left me for a moment.
“Sunday for a minute, please put the rest into the box first.”
“Oke.”
As he went towards the storage room, I picked up the abandoned box and took a look around. It's been a long time since I've seen the quest box for not wanting to waste credit.
I have my own way of getting credit from the quest box. Easily, if I get a high star quest, I can sell it to other players who want it at a great price. But that was already something I had never done because the rating for obtaining a high-star quest was very small.
One star has a 40% rating to get it, two star 30%, three star 17%, four star 10%, and five star 3% to get it. That's why I've never bought a quest box.
When Dimas returned from the storage room, I put back the quest box I was holding onto the table.
“You want a kid\-kids?”
I suggested that to him. Of course, the children I'm referring to are the other members. Given that there are no easy quests in this world, so I guess the number could slightly cover up the flaws rather than just doing it both ways.
“Bby!”
Hearing that I immediately sent a message by tagging all members to invite them. I sent a message via Whatsapps of course. It didn't take long, some of them sprung up to answer my invitation to come along.
“Oke, someone wants to come!”
“Good. If so, I'll take the quest.”
He took out the existing quest box and suppressed the red-colored gem. In an instant the box was smashed into ashes, then gave rise to a scroll paper that looked very old.
Dimas opened the paper roll and looked a little surprised.
“Woah..!”
“What?”
I moved nearby to see the scroll clearly. The first thing that caught my attention was a four-star emblem in the upper right corner of the scroll.
“Weh, four stars!”
I returned to my original seat and let him read the quest first. After a while, some other members started to get into the game. First was Zia, followed by Lazy, Fadli, and Shah.
“Where is the quest?!”
Shah asked while shouting with great enthusiasm.
“Patience! Dimas still read it!”
“Hmm..”
After that he said nothing and immediately sat down on the empty sofa. Same with the others. Not long after that Dimas handed the quest paper to me. I read it too.
“Mm\-hmm.. hm... this is a pain!”.
The quest asked us to go to S73 and go southeast for 10km to find a giant ant nest and kill the queen. Then get the queen's body parts to be given to the main NPC in S1.
“What's Rei?”
I answered Zia's question while scratching my head.
“Requipped to kill giant ant queen at S73.”
“Well, not easy? Cumin told to kill ant queen, ‘kan?”
Everyone who was in the room immediately looked at Shah after he said that.
“Syah does not understand. Gini nih well, although the quest cumin said to kill his queen, obviously\-clearly this extermination-type quest! Besides, the other ants will definitely protect the queen!”
“Lazy right! Anyway, the ant is sensitive. Sensitive in the sense of a trace, not a radar kayak.”
Well, what Fadli said was there was a point. He went to biology school anyway if I wasn't wrong. This way at least we can get information from people who are more understanding in their field.
While we were starting to discuss the matter, some people who wanted to take part in this quest appeared again. They are Kireina, Novan, and Princess. Now there are nine people. For a moment I explained the present situation to those who had just come and split the task.
“Oke, here to collect!”
I told them to get closer to the table to make it easier to do the division of tasks.
“First\tama, we have to go to S73, where the type of desert. Continue the mileage we need 10km.”
“In that case, we need the same vehicle goods to avoid the heat of the desert?”
I confirmed what Nova said.
Ozyline is the original item made by this game.it looks like a pin for clothes, but its use to provide status that can adjust the temperature of the clothes of players who use it.
“To keep watch\-just in case, we will make a small cabin to make a respawn point there. So we need a material\-material to make the cabin. I'll send it to Rei with Zia.”
“Buy where is it?”
Although items such as wood and stone can be collected on their own, but we will cut time by buying it on players who have it.
“Search only in the city of players who have. Sometimes they are there who deliberately sell goods\-goods so. Understand?”
After they nodded, I gave them the credit they needed to buy those items. At least I give one million credits to each of the people I ask for.
“Now, Laz! We have the same cabin blueprint of unused mattress, ‘kan?”
“If the blueprints don't know, I'll see. If our mattress has a lot.”
“Good!”
For now, our problem in the vehicle and reset points is complete.
“Otherwhat do we need? Any suggestions?”
When I asked that, they all seemed to be thinking about something we might have forgotten. At that moment the Princess raised one of her hands while giving advice.
“Ah! How's consumption?”
Ah, it's got a point! I forget something so important.
“If so, the Princess can take care of that? Money later I'll give you.”
“Why not make it yourself?”
“Old conversations. So buy aja. Use my credit anyway.”
“Yaudah yes.”
While we were doing the division of tasks, two people entered the game and immediately tried to blend in.
“Sorry! Somewhat late because there is still a call of nature earlier.”
They are Haqqi and Bang Sema.
“Still able to reach people, ‘kan? I'm coming!”
I agreed to accept them.
“Still! I'll tell you the situation. For now, who has already been part of the task, finish it!”
Those I've asked to buy the items we need leave the base immediately. I gave 200 thousand credits to the Princess to buy consumption, then she left the headquarters.
For Haqqi and Bang Sema, I want to give those quest papers to them. But at the same time, my eyes were fixed on the last sentence that told us the reward we would get if we managed to finish it.
“Eh?”
There is only one gift and nothing else. Only, it was not an ordinary item.
“Cuy! Dim! Pas read have seen the gift yet?”
“Hm? No tuh. You see, after reading the quest, I have lost my spirit.”
I showed the paper to her with a pale face.
“Jeez... Just one gift turned out... hm? Whatisthis? The Artifact of Forcimidae? Hm ... wait, HUH?!!”
Author's note: Forcimidae is a family of insects that contain ants.
Instantly they were all startled and tried to see the gift written on it.
“Artifact loh!!”
Artifacts, were items that could be said to be the strongest within this Online Cluster. An existence that can change the order of the existing system.I have never heard of a quest that can provide Artifacts!
“Cuy, your luck is bad well if it's gacha!”
I said that to Dimas and he just stared blankly with his mouth open, then laughed out loud.
I gave the quest paper to Haqqi and Bang Sema for them to read it and understand the quest situation we would face later.
“Fadli, if you can while looking for information about ants. For example they are not too sensitive what or other things.”
“Mild. They are not too sensitive as cinnamon, vinegar, orange peel, garlic, the same rest forget.”
“Hm... so they are not sensitive to the same thing that is alkaline?”
“Nah, yes! You see the ants are rich in acid.”
Makes sense! Although I knew that they were not very sensitive to bases, I could not do much about it. How can I get such a thing?! Ah, I think there is!
“Dim, can you please buy deodorant? The many.”
“For what?”
“Most items that are alkaline in nature will make wounds on the skin. Deodorant is also a strong base type, but will not hurt the skin.”
“OK!”
It didn't take long, Dimas immediately left the headquarters to buy the deodorant. Well, stuff like that is here too. Somehow I suddenly thought of the element Al(OH)3 contained in the deodorant and intended to use it.
“Haqqi equals Bang Sema ready\-prepared aja first. Let it be easy later.”
