Chapter 16: Legendary Summons (2)
"Congratulations, Archer!" Richard clapped his hands upon seeing the wolf boss' corpse. He'd seen it yesterday when Jake painstakingly brought it to the forest's first line of defense—the dense roots.
Richard helped Jake haul it up on the roots, and then, in his usual style, he threw it beside the wooden cabin. Jake was so exhausted that he logged out after bidding him farewell.
Now that he logged in fresh and lively, Richard congratulated him with a rough handshake.
He'd been excitedly waiting for Jake because the first boss was a crucial experience in more than just one way. Besides that, Jake and Richard had grown so close that they were close to being the best friends in the game—Richard couldn't have held back from praising him.
In fact, it was a good time to showcase their relationship level.
[Friends(100%)]
Every relationship started neutrally, so the first level was obviously—neutral.
After that, it could progress either up or down, or rather in a friendly or hostile way. If the relationship progressed positively and an NPC and a player could find a common language and interest, they'd no longer be neutral but acquaintances—the second relationship level.
Because Richard was alone on the tutorial island and reached out to each newbie player landing here, he skipped the neutral phrase and entered the acquaintance relationship level with goodwill. The third level was friends, and most relationships finished on that level with a percentage next to it.
If it was close to one hundred percent, the relationship was close to best friends, and there was real and genuine trust between each other. That said, there was a fourth level to the relationship stage—loyalty.

Richard nodded, "I'm glad to hear that. I'd been praying for you to get a useful drop from the wolf boss. I didn't want to jinx anything, so I didn't think much about it, but legendary summoning skill... I couldn't have asked for more! Haha!"
He was so happy for his friend that Jake grew awkward.
Richard laughed louder upon seeing him like that, "Don't get so embarrassed! It's the reward for your hard work! Also, the wolf boss has three legendary drops, and two have already been secured by other players. The legendary drops are so powerful and special that they can't be reproduced, making each player getting their hands on them special. You've laid claim to the summoning skill. Therefore, you're eligible for the one and only legendary summoning quest on the tutorial island!"
Jake unconsciously clenched his hands and widened his eyes.
Richard smirked.
[You have received the legendary summons quest(legendary)]
[Do you accept it?]
"Yeah," Jake replied, his face getting hotter from excitement.
