Luke made his way to the barter hub to hire a horse. He didn't have much experience riding one, only a few times back at his ranch. Still, he knew he wouldn't need to ride too fast or navigate complex routes.
On the way, Luke couldn't help but ask, "Are you hinting that something will happen during this journey? Is that why the gamma points are so high?"
[No, host. This is the first time the host is about to explore the outside world, so the system has added exploration points to the quest as well.]
Luke nodded in understanding. So that was it. It made sense that exploring new places would give rise to a variety of quests.
As he walked, he noticed a shop and paused. "Hey, old man. Aren't you forgetting something?"
The man responsible for making Luke's bed slowly raised his head. Unlike before, there was a stiff smile on his face. "Umm, forgive me for that, but things have grown chaotic recently."
Luke sighed. "You are already two days late."
