Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1258 Emma’s Interest

Emma wàlked along the streets of the city, not sure what she really wanted to do. She knew that she wanted something to pass her time, to feel a sense of adventure that didn’t come from her own planet.

But how was she going to do that? By joining a jewelry shop? By going to the fish market?

She held tightly onto Lory as she looked through the streets. As she did so, she came across a shop that was less a shop and more a place to do random job to find work for some money.

She found a place that would be equivalent to guilds back on earth.

It was a place that was simply called ‘Farque’s Daily Mission Shop’, and there were quite a few people that went in and out of the shop.

Emma finally found a place that intrigued her. She read the sign that read that beasts weren’t allowed inside.

Sadly, she had to let Umbra right outside and go in.

She walked up the stairs to the shop and walked inside. It was quite spacious inside and quite cool too for some reason.

She looked around, unaware what she was supposed to do here. ‘If this is like the guilds, then I must accept a mission from…’ her eyes scanned the room as it finally landed on what she was looking for. ‘… the mission board.’

She walked toward the board and saw all the various missions that were listed there for people to perform. Her eyes fell onto various ones, unsure which ones she should take.

In the first place, she wondered if there as a procedure to it. Did she need a guild card? But then, this wasn’t a guild.

“Excuse me,” she called out to the young man next to him. The man didn’t seem to hear Emma’s calling, so she had to tug on his clothes to make him turn around.

The man turned to find a little girl that was barely in her teenage years tugging on him.

“What’s wrong, little girl?” the young man asked. “Do you need some help?”

Emma nodded. “Can you tell me how I can take the missions?” she asked.

“You… want to take the missions?” the young man showed a curious expression. “Did you parents send you here to look at the missions?”

Emma shook her head. “I came here on my own to take a mission,” she said. “What am I supposed to do?” 𝑶𝑣𝓵xt.𝑐𝒪𝑚

“You… you shouldn’t be here if you aren’t with your parents,” the young man said. “This is not a place for a little girl like you.”

Emma couldn’t help but frown. “Can you just tell me what I want to know, please?” she asked. “I just want to know how to take the missions. If I need to get registered first or if I need to have some sort of qualifications. If you can’t tell me, just say so. I’ll find someone else.”

The young man frowned for a moment and sighed. “Fine, look for yourself,” he said, moving a little. “These are the missions and you just do what you want to. You don’t need to do anything. They will pay you if you come back with the proof that you did it.”

“How do I gather proof?” Emma asked.

The young man tapped one of the mission posters. “It is written here at the bottom, see?” he said.

Emma looked at the poster in front of her.

The mission was to catch some sort of exotic fish and bring it back to sell to someone. The proof was the fish itself, as written on the poster.

“And I don’t have to let the people there know what mission I’m taking?” Emma asked.

“No, you do whatever you want from here,” the young man said. “If you can complete any, you come back and get the reward, which is written here as well.”

Emma nodded.

“What if someone else gets to my mission before I do?” she asked.

“Then its your bad luck,” the young man said. “You should have been faster.”

Emma frowned a bit when she heard that. She didn’t like the sound of that.

“Okay, so to make sure I understand everything correctly. I can do whatever mission I want from here and complete them on my own, without letting the people of this establishment know that I’m doings omething,” she said.

“Yes,” the young man said. “But I suggest you don’t try this. There are many dangerous quests and as a young child, you won’t be able to discern the good from bad.”

“That’s alright,” Emma said. “I trust my ability to do so. Thank you for your time though. It was helpful.”

The young man sighed, realizing that he hadn’t been able to dissuade the little girl at all.

Emma ignored the young man and any other men or woman in front of the giant mission baord as she started looking at the various missions.

Her eyes darted through the pages as it was all stored in her mind. After going through it enough times, she memorized it all and walked away from the mission board.

The young man gave her a strange expression when he saw her leave so quickly, but he didn’t think much about it. He found it better if she decided not to take the mission at all.

“Let’s go, I got something for us to do,” Emma said as she walked with Umbra.

“What did you find?” Umbra asked curiously.

“Its a mission that we have to do in the northern side of the city, in the forest,” she said. “There are multiple missions that we can do at once. A few of them are gathering various types of medicinal and edible plants.”

“Another few missions are finding various tpyes of flowers.”

“However, they don’t compare to the missions that ask to bring back a beast’s child, which I’m not sure I want to do,” Emma said. “But there is something I can do, I hope.”

She smiled a little. “If I can do it, it will pay us big money.”
