Chapter 55 Spendthrift Part 1
"I will explain later. For now, let's return to the inn." Vance had so many notifications on his hud from the quest system telling him he gained 1 quest point for each quest turn in. In total, there were a thousand players who participated. Giving him a hefty 1000 quest points. This was the most he had ever had, and he got it so easily. He actually couldn't wait to check what he could get from the NPC Shop.
Alice was a bit annoyed by the fact that she couldn't get an answer right away, so she pinched Vance's side as they left the inn. Since they were going to be stuck inside the capital until things were settled, they would spend the rest of their time at the inn until word came from Henry.

"What the fuck are you people doing!?" The prince slammed his fist off the armrest of his chair and stared at the guard in front of him."How can so many of you fail so quickly and on top of that, get captured by that little bitch!? You even let her bring the witnesses to my uncle! I am finished!"
"Your highness! It was the man at her side! He blocked me from being able to kill the witness or the woman. He was very agile when I tried to take him out. Not only dodging my arrow by a hair's breadth but also chopping the arrow out of the air with his sword! He somehow used the other worlders as a means to block any chance of me killing those who submitted." The guard was basically pleading for his life at this point. He had no choice, or else he would be slaughtered along with this family!
"Oh? Humph! I will give you a chance. If you want your family alive, you need to kill my sister. If you do that, I will spare your family." The prince smiled evilly as he looked at the guard. To him, the man was nothing more than a tool. His life and his family's lives were in the palm of his hand.
Gritting his teeth, the guard could only nod and bow his head. "As you wish." He knew he was going to die. But if it meant his family could live, then it was fine. He would rather lose his life to protect the ones he loves.

Now back resting at the inn, Vance was currently being stared at by two questioning gazes. He knew he could no longer hide the quest system from them. He took a deep breath and said: "I can explain, but this is only between the three of us."
"That's fine. We are always going to be together, so if we can't keep your secret, we do not deserve to be with you." Alice knew Vance had secrets, and as his woman, it was only right that she take all his secrets to her grave. Sally nodded her head to show she agreed with Alice's statement.
"I have a secondary system that lets me give out quests, but I did not know how to use it. At least until I saw my quest options light up when I saw the other worlder. It was then that I realized that I could hand out quests to the other worlders. While it did cost ten gold in total, it allowed us to make it through the situation without issue. The same for the quest at the guild. It's like there is some kind of higher power that is controlling things when it comes to our systems." Vance's words were filled with lies and some truths. But he could not come out and tell them the full truth just yet.
"I see… so what does giving quests do besides spend money?" Alice asked with her hands crossed in front of her chest.
"I get quest points which allows me to spend them in an NPC shop. There I can buy things that you can not find elsewhere." Vance did not hide this fact. He had planned to give them something good soon anyway. Since he can not give a proper explanation, it would save an awkward situation later on.
"I see…" Alice could only believe what he had to say after hearing all of this. She wanted to ask where he got these systems but held her tongue. She already asked enough for today. As she thought about it, she came to a firm decision. "Since we are about to complete our task of dealing with my brother. Tonight…. I will reward you." Alice looked at Sally, who suddenly blushed from ear to ear.
Vance tilted his head in confusion but kinda liked the idea of getting surprised, so he did not ask anything. Instead, he sat back and opened his NPC shop window. He had already bought one item from it before, which he gave to his father. Now he wanted to see what else he could buy.
He first looked up angel's tear and bought three of them. They were a unique item so he had to buy them one at a time and place two of them next to him. This would ensure the girl's life from a single fatal blow, including his own. From there, he looked at the items. He instantly found three different rings. One was a ring that added two stats vitality and agility. Another one that added vitality and intelligence, and a third which did three stats that upped vitality, agility, and strength. The three rings were only three quest points each and even upped stats by twenty each. Since they were also unique, he bought enough for everyone.
