Systematic Survival

7 - Late

Matt repeated this until clearing the quest and his body was immediately filled with an amazing feeling. Some of the fatigue he gained from carrying the boxes vanished and his legs were less wobbly.

Stock the Shelves [12/12]

+1 Strength, +12xp [XP 76/100]

'Wow. I still can't get over the feeling of gaining a stat point. Is this what it's like to be stronger?'

Matt looked over his body and also noticed that his arms were a tiny bit less scrawny. It seemed like they had more meat on them. His legs also looked like they were more filled out and less likely to snap in half with too much pressure.

'Not much of an improvement, but at least it's something. I think 10 is probably the average amount of points people have in every stat. So I'm still below average by 3 whole points.'

Finishing his assessment, he made his way back to the front of the store to find the owner. Once he saw her, he approached her for his next task.

She glanced at him and then spoke up.

"Oh, that was fast. I thought it would take you way longer."

Matt ignored that remark. "So, what should I do next?"

She opened up an organizer and flipped through the pages for a moment before landing on one.

"As you know, we're going to have a book signing in a few days and but the posters need to be put up on the front window and around the store. I don't think it should be too hard for you to handle."

She closed the organizer and handed him a stack of posters.

__________

[New Quest]

Put up Posters [0/30] [Reward: +10xp, ]

__________

Matt only glanced at the quest that popped up for a second before starting. He had already gotten used to that screen every time someone asked him to do something.

As he walked through the store hanging posters, he also used his Inspect skill on anything new, including the posters.

__________

(Small Promotional Poster)

A poster.

__________

He continued hanging posters in random places around the store. He placed them anywhere that seemed like it would catch someone's eye.

Once he was down to a few posters left, he put the rest inside the front windows of the store. With that, another quest was done.

__________

[Quest Complete]

Put up Posters [30/30]

+10xp [XP 86/100]

__________

'I'm really getting pretty close to leveling up. Only 14 points left. I can't wait to see what that does. If it's like the game, then maybe I'll get some stat points to spend?'

Matt wandered through the store, daydreaming about his future level-up.
