Chapter Title: Contributor to Origin Village
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You have arrived at the entrance to the Lv.25 Orc Warriors Forest dungeon.
Passing through the portal, two level 15 users and one level 43 user appeared.
A three-man party consisting of a warrior, an archer, and a healer.
Isnt it better to just do the quests from the training hall?
One of the level 15 users asked with an unwelcome expression.
He had wanted to sit this one out but had been dragged here against his will by these two.
Hey, how long do you think itll take to hit level 30 by grinding dungeon clears and those quests? Get on the bus when its offered, nicely.
He fully agreed that the instructors gave out pitiful amounts of experience.
Even after completing a dungeon subjugation quest, hed only gained 12 exp.
No wonder it took weeks at minimum to reach the first job change.
Yeah. Ji-seongs right. Its way better to run high-level dungeons.
The three had been close friends since elementary school.
And Han Ji-seong was the highest-level among them at level 43, a warrior.
Since the warrior Han Ji-seong would sweep the monsters, the low-level friends just needed to ride the bus.
It was faster for leveling than taking quests from instructors.
Thats why users whod finished their first job change usually carried lowbies through dungeons, taking all the rewards for themselves.
The northern dungeons required at least three people to proceed.
But why is this forest so damn big?
Dunno? The other dungeons werent this spread out.
The portal to the Orc Warriors Forest was uniquely surrounded by a dense woodland.
Hmm, wanna take a quick look around?
Level 15 mage Yoo Jin-ho suggested.
The other two tilted their heads at the idea.
Why bother?
Its different from the other dungeons, right? There might be something here.
Hey, why waste time? Lets just clear the dungeon and bounce.
You never know. Weve got time anywayhow about 30 minutes?
30 minutes, sure
Okay! Lets go!
In the end, they decided to wander the forest for 30 minutes following Yoo Jin-hos suggestion.
What the hell is even here
Han Ji-seong grumbled, but that stopped the moment they spotted a cave.
See? Cant you smell something good coming from there?
Unlike a regular cave, the inside was lit up.
Was there really something in there?
Yeah, looks like it.
Lets go in.
Even Park Sung-ho, whod been dragged here kicking and screaming, jumped on board.
In the end, all three entered the cave.
And they discovered a portal inside.
There it is!
Huh? A dungeon here?
Hey its Lv.38?
For a dungeon lurking in Origin Village, the level was way too high.
Ji-seong, pretty please!
You maniac, Ive never even done a dungeon this high.
Sure, the high level was scary.
It was Vicious Poison Krasha, a full 13 levels higher than the Lv.25 Orc Warriors.
At that moment, the portal glowed, and one user returned.
Normally, failing to clear meant forced logout for 24 hours.
Returning intact meant theyd cleared the dungeon.
Um did you clear this?
Yes. And?
Player Information
- Nickname: Hoon
- Level: 22
- Job: Martial Artist
A level 22 Martial Artist had soloed the boss?
Even against Vicious Poison Krasha, which was 16 levels higher?
No way
Han Ji-seong muttered blankly.
Then, good luck.
The user brushed past them and left the forest.
Ji-seong, this seems doable?
Yeah. If a level 22 cleared it, should be fine for us?
If a level 22 Martial Artist could hunt it, the Lv.38 Krasha must be weakened.
Right. This was Origin Village. A Lv.38 didnt make sense here.
Okay, lets go!
Led by Han Ji-seong, Yoo Jin-ho and Park Sung-ho boldly charged toward Vicious Poison Krasha.
Shaaaak! Humanssss!
Krasha, who had once lost a life to Jeong Hoon, flew into a rage and charged the moment humans appeared.
J-Ji-seong! Do something!
Damn it! Spiders are my worst nightmare! Whyd it have to be a spider!
Youre level 43! You useless bastard!
Uwaaaak!
They barely put up a fight before logging out.
So those three were the ones who discovered the undiscovered dungeon.
Theyll fail the subjugation.
Vicious Poison Krasha spewed poison gas, making it easiest to clear with high-level users.
From Jeong Hoons view, only one of the three had finished their first job change.
Theyd probably end up with a 24-hour forced logout.
Krasha's Poison Fang
- Type: Consumable
- Grade: Rare
- Upgrades the Normal-grade status ailment resistance skill to Rare.
- Skill must be level 10.
An item that further strengthened Immune to Poison.
Youd need to hunt Krasha around 1,000 times for a chance at one drop. Precious stuff.
Immune to Poison
- Type: Passive
- Level: 5
- Grade: Normal
- Increases resistance to poison. (Poison resistance)
- Resists health drain from poison.
Immune to Poison was currently level 5.
Hed wanted to keep beating on Krasha to max it to 10, but the skill leveled slower once he got used to the poison, and Krasha had lost its will to fight anyway.
So he couldnt use Krasha's Poison Fang right now.
Plenty of time to hit level 10.
It wouldnt take long.
Jeong Hoon planned to max Immune to Poison here in Origin Village.
And the item for the quest material.
Krasha's Inner Core (Cannot be used)
- Type: Material
- Grade: Normal
- The inner core where Krasha stored its poison.
- Contains powerful poison, making it hard to use.
Gotta do it.
It was the reward for the quest that once heated up Origin Village.
Poison Damage
A insane skill that added low-chance poison damage to all attacks.
This inner core was the starting item to obtain that skill.
Of course, he couldnt start the quest right away.
He needed to meet the village alchemist, but they wouldnt give it just for showing up.
To get that quest, he had to clear all the village NPCs quests first.
Gotta grab the stuff everyone misses too.
Most users were obsessed with leveling and job change quests.
Once they hit first job change, they headed to the next city.
Naturally, few cleared every Origin Village quest.
Not that no one did.
BJs treating New World as broadcast content had done Complete All Origin Village Quests streams.
Whoa the rewards a title. Contributor to Origin Village popped up.
- As you can see, its a title and the options are just 1 Vitality and Mana. Wtf, for real?
lolololololol
lmao
Total time waste Couldve job changed and moved to next village.
Fair, hes making bank off the content
Lets not waste our time lolol
A village quest no one touched anymore because the reward sucked.
But did they know?
This was the path to the village alchemist.
General Quest: Ten's Dilemma at the General Store
- Restriction: All New World users
- Reward: 250 Exp
- Description: Ten hurt his back falling in the general store. The place hasnt been cleaned. Clean the general store in his place!
Only 250 exp for cleaning this store.
This was Jeong Hoons second time visiting the general store.
Cleaning the three-story shop wasnt easy.
Aigoo! Thank you so much for helping!
Store owner Ten grabbed Jeong Hoons hand, eyes teary.
Jeong Hoon smiled silently.
This guy who hurt his back was running the store fine?
This quest was made just to make users clean.
Then, please hurry!
Ten pointed out the cleaning supplies and fled to the counter.
Lets get started.
Whatever, he had to do it, so he grabbed the mop with the intent to finish quick.
As befitting a large general store in the back alleys, users came and went constantly.
Huh? Thats not an NPC, right?
Yeah? Whys he cleaning there?
On the first floor, some user was mopping away diligently.
Quest.
Quest?
Users pointed at Ten behind the counter.
A lightbulb blinked over Tens headin the shape of a question mark.
Curious newbie users touched it.
No way, 250 exp? Hes nuts?
Damn, 250 for cleaning three floors?
Users who checked the details flew into a rage.
Ah, of course, you dont have to help.
Hed offered it thinking theyd help, but got cussed out hard.
Ten felt shitty but kept his sales smile for the customers.
Wow, so that users busting ass for just 250?
Thinks theres some secret reward?
Nah, that got exposed on YouTube ages ago.
Any user whod done minimal research knew to skip village quests.
Should we tell him?
Dont be nosy, leave him. Looks like the type to stick his head in blindly.
True Chose Martial Artist, says it all.
Even a quick glance at the forums showed Martial Artist was a hard no.
Sure, there was one top ranker who was a Martial Artist, but most were other jobs.
It couldnt compete in melee, ranged, or utility. No wonder.
Passing on good jobs to pick Martial Artist?
It kinda made sense why he was grinding village quests.
Cleanings done.
Aigoo, thank you! Heres your reward!
The Martial Artist somehow finished all three floors and left leisurely.
After that, he started popping up all over the village.
From blacksmith assistant work to weapon shop deliveries and kitchen chores.
Wow hes really doing all that?
Guys insane?
Users were floored by the Martial Artist taking on every odd job.
Two whole weeks.
Jeong Hoon spent them solely on village quests.
Level up!
All stats 1.
Bonus stat 1 granted.
Hed lost count of how many hed done.
Hed leveled up purely from village quests.
Thank you so much for resolving all our troubles!
Finishing the quest from the NPC instructor guarding the sword training hall entrance completed every Origin Village quest.
Completed General Quest!
Acquired Title Contributor to Origin Village.
Hed finished all village quests and got the targeted title.
The one users called trash.
Jeong Hoon checked it with a satisfied face.
Caught one rabbit.
Now for the last one.
The alchemists house, a bit outside Origin Village.
Time to visit.
