Chapter 21 \nChapter 21: A Unique Chain Reaction\nWelp, since I cannot really do anything serious until my death penalty wears off, I decided to go and have my weapons fixed.
For the current moment they were the only weapons with appropriate damage output that would allow me to take on strong enemies. So if I can restore their durability, than that is what I want to do. I was planning on visiting the old blacksmith, but……
「Closed…… it says……?」
I mean yeah, it makes sense that a store like that would be closed during the middle of the night, since it wasn’t a convenience store and all, but was it really necessary for NPCs to behave like normal human beings?
Not that all of that thinking of mine was magically going to change the sign from “Closed” to “Open”.
「For now, maybe I’ll wait with restoring the weapons until morning……?」
I say that to myself, but in reality I was one of those people who couldn’t be satisfied with the state of their own equipment until it was fully restored and operational. Not to mention that it would feel downright awkward to move around with damaged weapons. However, there was nothing I could really do about it, so I had to leave the necessary repairs for the clerk first thing in the morning.\n「You could say that I am lucky even though I may seem unlucky…… Nngh!?」
All of the trivial thoughts shut down when I look around aimlessly and eventually see something peculiar entering my field of vision. I guess if other people saw me like that they would think I’m acting awfully suspicious, but my eyes follow that foreign object that I managed to notice.
「…………」
Just then.
There was something in the gap between the buildings, inside of a shady back alley, the one that you would never like to go to in real life. Something that apparently only I could see and it was beckoning me.
「…… Vorpal Bunny?」
No, no, no. Vorpal Bunny is a biped that is holding two knives in its paws. Since they are monsters they are naked, but this one that was beckoning me was wearing an expensive-looking outfit, accompanied by a top hat, monocle and a golden pocket watch. But where have I seen something like that before……? Oh yeah, that’s right! Alice in Wonderland!\n「Can monsters really pop up in the middle of the city like that?」
But even if it is possible, why would a monster just beckon random passers-by towards itself? It was impossible to enter battle mode in the middle of the town. For now, it might be worth my while to follow it. It looks like a rare enemy, so if I manage to defeat it, it may drop something really nice…… The moment I thought that there was a window suddenly popping out right in front of my face.
「Do you want to start a unique side-quest “Invitation to the Bunny Country”?」
「……!!!!!!」
I manage to stop myself from exclaiming my surprise out loud and look around. Fortunately it was the middle of the night and people were busy doing other things, and the fact that it was right behind the closed weapon shop made it so that hardly any players could be seen in the vicinity.
Unique quests.
That is the element that makes ShanFro such a godly game and it is one of its more distinctive features.\nRecommended level………… Lv 80.
The flags for triggering the unique scenarios are not all known and can be really specific, such as achieving a high enough level…… That is why it is not all that uncommon for the players who have received such quests to intentionally conceal their requirements.
Last but not least, those quests are not repeatable or available for everyone. It is a double-edged sword so when you decline it initially, some other players might snatch them away from you.
