Is The Quest Difficulty Bugged? [C38]
The elder, looking toward Shu Himo immediately asked: "So, from which sect are you?"
Hearing the question toward himself, Shu Himo looked back toward the elder, and simply answered, "None."
"What?" The elder was startled, if Shu Himo wasn't in any sect, how could he have come in this remain?
Seeing the surprise of the elder, Ro Jonhan immediately explained, "Actually, we met Shu Himo in the way to come here at the Kingdom of Arsia, in there I saw his talent so I decided to let him come, just to increase the chances of Ru Seji to survive."
Hearing this, the elder fell deep in thought. A moment later, he looked resolutely toward Shu Himo, and full of confidence he said: "Normally there would be an examination to make someone enter in our Belajar sect, but what about it? Are you interested in entering our Belajar sect as a disciple?" Naturally, hearing about the talent of Shu Himo, the elder immediately decided to recruit him, how could he let such a chance go? What he did not expect to hear was a flat, "No." That completely startled him.
"Why do you refuse? You know that the Belajar sect is one of the strongest? With your potential, you would be groomed well and become one of the strongest!"
Hearing the insistence of the elder, Shu Himo looked at him, smiled and said, "No one shall bind me, no one shall stop me, no one shall have me. If you search a friendly relation with me, I'm happy to, but I'm not going to become the disciple of anyone."
The time seemed to stop, everyone was extremely surprised, not only the elder, but the disciples, and even Ro Jonhan, who precedently thought Shu Himo refused his sect because they were weak now thought differently: So the reason he refused was that he did not want to be a disciple of anyone?
The elder who just invited Shu Himo was almost spurting blood hearing his arrogance: not only you refuse but you even say 'if you search a friendly relation with me?' Who do you think you are?
Still, seeing his disciples signaling to not make him an enemy he controlled his rage, and choose to make the last offer: "If you want, you can visit our sect... if you still don't want enter then feel free to do what you want." Said that he left with the other elder and the disciples.
Ro Jonhan, seeing that both Ru Seji and Shu Himo were fine then said: "Let's go us too, we have to return back."
Shu Himo and Ru Seji then immediately went with him, after all, there was nothing left to do here.
They first went toward the tent, to dismantle it. After putting it in the Storage Ring, they went back out of the Jungle.
-----
At the zone of the tents, a moment after Shu Himo left.
"Ah! Where are they? How unlucky we are, It seems they escaped! Sigh... the next time we will get revenge! Everyone, let's go!"
Calling misfortune what saved their lives, the disciples of the Veridas sect left with their elder.
-----
30 minutes later.
"We are finally back to the village. Let's relax for today and tomorrow we will go to the Capital of Arsia."
"Sure." Hearing Ro Jonhan, they were both thinking the same so they immediately agreed.
Shu Himo then went inside the village, wanting to buy one thing: a map.
Seeing the village full of life, this time as he knew the reason he wasn't bothered by it anymore, so he immediately went toward a market to buy the map.
-----
A minute later.
"Thank you!" Hearing 'thanks' from the seller, Shu Himo now having the map proceeded to watch it immediately: the map comprehended every territory of the Kingdom of Arsia!
Now knowing the geography of the Kingdom he finally found how vast it is! Starting from the Capital of Arsia, the Kingdom extended about 300 kilometers at every direction!
Now having the map, Shu Himo proceeded to rent a room. While he was inside, he immediately bought the next fragment of the Legendary Myriad of Ways cultivation technique, the Acupoint Opening phase fragment!
[Detracting 50 BS points...]
[Thanks for your patronage!]
[You now have 10 BS points!]
Now having the Acupoint Opening phase fragment, Shu Himo immediately started cultivating.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he circulated his Qi according to the Legendary Myriad of Ways cultivation technique and focused on breakthrough.
He initially did not feel anything, but after a couple minutes, he heard the first *pop* indicating that the first acupoint is being unsealed.
After two hours, he finally broke through to the Acupoint Opening phase! In this phase, normally the cultivators do their best to open every Acupoint of the body to obtain the ability to use magic, but Shu Himo, cultivating the Myriad of Ways already opened every single acupoint!
Feeling satisfied, Shu Himo immediately checked 'Status!'
[Shu Himo, 6 Years old]
[Hp: 100%] [Mp: 824]
[Strength: 72.4] [Resistence: 41.8] [Agility: 87.4]

[Skills: [Intimidation lv_1], [Hopper lv_1].]

[State: Still weak.]
[The maximum stats for Acupoint Opening phase is 100!]
"Wow." Feeling his new strength, Shu Himo was honestly surprised, he felt way stronger than before!
After breakthrough, being tired due to all the happenings in the day, he immediately went to sleep.
-----
The next day.
Meeting with Ro Jonhan and Ru Seji, Shu Himo was finally ready to return to the Capital of Arsia.
"Are you both ready to return?" Faced with the question from Ro Jonhan, naturally, the answer was a nonchalant, "Yeah."
Hearing that they were both ready, Ro Jonhan was about to walk toward the Capital, but he stopped for a moment and looked at Shu Himo.
"Himo, I thought about what you said and I will talk with the other elders about it, thanks for the advice of getting more arrogant."
Hearing him, Shu Himo was surprised, but he immediately broke into a bright smile, he felt happy about being thanked. Sadly the happiness did not survive for much due to a shout from the system.
[Impossible!]
Something capable of making the System unnerve? Shu Himo did not have enough time to ask when he heard a familiar *Ding*
[Abrupt Quest: Slay the Otherworldly Monster!]
[An Otherworldly Monster came to this planet in an area not too far from your location. The System will provide free temporary items for this quest. Immediately exterminate him!]
[Quest Difficulty: F~SSS]
[Quest Reward: Unknown(Based on the number of items taken for free from the system.).]

'From F to SSS... is the quest difficulty bugged?'
