Beast Monster System

After leaving for more than 30 minutes, Aksel, Chandler, Cheryl, and Shawn were finally back safely, they didn't meet any Bigfoot or any other danger, and of course, they got so many medicinal plants with them, the other Saviors were even surprised when they saw how much medicinal plants that the four of them brought here, extremely much.

[ You Have Finished The Quest, 10 EXP Has Been Granted ]

<10/200>

Just shortly after they were back, Chandler got a new message from his system, but he chose to close the screen afterwards by just thinking about the 'close' option on the screen that could only be seen by him.

"Oh my God, no wonder you guys took quite a long time," Jake said as he saw the four of them put all the medicinal plants on the ground.

"But these are actually needed by us though, Captain, considering we're going to keep moving to different places, we probably won't find these kinds of plants easily other than here," Aksel replied with a smile.

"Yeah, but it won't be easy to bring them everywhere we go, we don't have bags or plastics or anything like those, you guys are so greedy to take this many medicinal plants," Jade spoke to Aksel with her hands folded in her chest.

"Well, this is what quest my system gave me, it's not a problem," Chandler responded to Jade very nicely while smiling.

"Yeah, besides, they're tied, it won't be that hard to bring them everywhere we go," Aksel added one more point.. Yes, the medicinal plants were tied with some kind of roots, and they also could be brought just like backpacks because of the roots.

"Hmm, yeah, this actually looks fine," Jake said as he stroked his chin using some fingers from his right hand, his gaze was also still focused on the medicinal plants.

"Aksel found the roots and the way to modify them, we should thank him because of these," Shawn joined the conversation while looking at Aksel and smiling, Aksel was also immediately looking at him as he mentioned his name.

"And actually, Captain, we're also bringing more of the roots just in case we unexpectedly needed them someday, that was Aksel's idea too, although I refused it at first because I thought we wouldn't need more of the roots," Cheryl told Jake as she separated the roots and the medicinal plants that were she brought simultaneously, and that's why her medicinal plants were the most less one amongst the others.

"These are very strong roots, Captain, I just think that they will be useful if we keep them, sorry if we took too much of them though," Aksel spoke to Jake while looking at the roots that Cheryl had just separated from the medicinal plants to make everyone see them way more easily.

"No, that's a great idea, good job, Aksel," Jake then praised Aksel and stopped looking at the medicinal plants as well as the roots as he turned his head towards Aksel and smiling at him, he also stopped stroking his chin.

"Thank you, Captain," Aksel replied happily.

"Blake, Rosemarie, and Curt haven't come back yet, Captain?" Shawn asked Jake just a moment later and he totally changed the topic of the conversation, his facial expression was also immediately changed as he realized that they haven't come back yet, it showed a big worry and confusion at the same time.

"No, it's kinda surprising and unexpected though that they would take this quite a long time to just check out the situation there, it's been almost forty-five minutes I guess," Jake responded to him just shortly after, his facial expression was also changed just like Shawn's.

"There must be some things that make them take this long, but whatever those things are, I hope they're not gonna be a danger or trouble for us," Aksel said afterwards with the same worry and confusion as Jake and Shawn's.

"Let's hope," Jake replied. "Also, if Blake, Rosemarie, and Curt won't be back in the next ten minutes, we're going to leave and go to the place where they should be at, so just be ready," he continued, he said that very seriously, he really wanted them to prepare themselves.

"Yes, Captain," Aksel, Chandler, Jade, Shawn, and Cheryl responded to his words at the same time very quickly.

Surprisingly, just moments after that, Jade received another quest from her system, and she just finished the previous quest about 5 minutes ago.

[ You Have Received A New Quest ] 

'What?! A new quest?! What the hell?! Again?' The girl thought as the notification screen and the message appeared in front of her. She then decided to click the 'see' option just by her mind.

[ Stare & Touch A Big Rock For 5 Minutes ]

Reward: 5 EXP

'What?! I swear the quests I got were all so weird,' she complained in her mind before she closed the screen with the intention to search for a big rock to touch and stare at.

"I got a new quest again, Captain, I'm gonna leave for a while," Jade said to Jake afterwards.

"Where are you going? What kind of quests did you actually get?" Jake replied to her immediately after, he became curious about the quests she got because she would always leave whenever she got a new quest.

"I should meditate for thirty minutes before, and now I should stare and touch a big rock for five minutes, ridiculous," Jade answered, she absolutely didn't look happy with those quests.

"Why are you mad? The quests must have something to do with your ability, you should just accept them happily," Aksel told Jade.

"Ugh! Not everyone is as happy as you are! Besides, I still accepted them after all!" Jade responded to Aksel so quickly, she became a little bit more pissed off because of Aksel's words, and Aksel himself could only be silent afterwards.

"Alright, I'm leaving!" the girl continued just shortly after.

"J-jade! W-wait," Chandler said to her, he also immediately reached and held her hand, he then got closer to Jade as well because Cheryl and Aksel were previously blocking him from her, Jade stood closer to them than to Chandler before the boy got closer to her.

"I- I have something for you …" Chandler continued shyly, the rose flush also came back to his face as Jade turned her head towards him and then released her hand from his.

"He-here's a rose … for you," Chandler spoke to her while giving her the rose, still shyly.

"What does this mean?" Jade asked with suspicion, her mood was also still not 100% good, so the way she talked wasn't too nice.

"Nothing … I just want to give you this," Chandler answered, he didn't dare to look at Jade, he was too shy to do that.

Jade then became silent for a moment as she thought of the biggest possible reason Chandler gave her this rose. 

"You love me? Sorry, but I don't love you," she said straight away afterwards.

"U-uh?!" Chandler of course was shocked by what she just said, he also immediately looked at her and stopped being shy. Everyone else was also kinda shocked because of the same thing.

"But this is still cute though, I love roses, I'll take this, thank you so much," Jade continued, she also took the rose from Chandler's hand afterwards.

"Y-you're welcome," Chandler replied, he stopped blushing afterwards.

"He loves Jade? That's very unexpected," Cheryl whispered to Aksel while looking at Chandler and Jade.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either," Aksel responded to her by whispering as well.

"Captain!!! Everyone!!!" Suddenly Curt's exclamation was heard by all of them as the boy got closer to them, he ran over to them with Rosemarie and Blake and they were only 30 meters away from Jake and the others. 

They all immediately turned their head towards the three of them with their respective surprised faces, Cole was also woken up due to Curt's loud exclamation.

"Thank goodness. Guys, are you okay?" Jake immediately asked Curt, Blake, and Rosemarie about their respective conditions, and they looked okay though.

"We are! We very much are! But, Captain! You won't believe this!" Curt said as he, as well as Blake and Rosemarie, stopped running. The three of them were so sweaty, their breathing rhythms were also so fast.

"What happened?!" Aksel then asked them in panic.

"The Bigfoots- wait, what are these?" When he was about to answer Aksel's question, Curtis's attention was distracted by the medicinal plants. He also frowned as soon as he saw those plants.

"Medicinal plants," Aksel answered casually.

"Where did you guys get them?" Curt asked again afterwards.

"Just ignore Curt, you all need to see something, follow us," Blake then interrupted that conversation, he looked so serious, there was a little bit of fear, worry, and confusion both on his facial expression and the look from his eyes.

"Wait, what happened? At least explain a little bit of that thing," Jake said to Blake when the boy was about to leave again.

"You need to see this thing with your own eyes, I'm afraid none of you won't believe us because of how shocking this thing is, and I can't tell you whether this is good news or bad news, but one thing for sure, there was something big we didn't know all this time, or maybe … we've been fooled since the beginning," Blake replied dramatically.
