Half an hour later, Adam finally reached the 'One-fang Venomous Viper' hunting ground, which was located East, outside of Batangas City.

The place was somewhat dreary too as the One-fang Venomous Viper was cruel hence Chosen tend to avoid them, causing the hunting ground to be bleak.

The place was also like a normal forest on Earth, with trees that were as large and as broad as trees on Earth.

Soon, Adam took a step forward and instantly dug deeper into the hunting ground...

Minutes after continuous walking, he finally met his first enemy.

Standing before him, or rather crawling was a 3-meters tall, and 2-meters wide viper, named One-fang Venomous Viper.

Its height was also one of the factors why Chosen avoid them as they were Gigantic and usually swallowed their prey entirely, thus traumatizing their Chosen victim.

Though that's the case, Adam was not afraid nor bother even for a second as he was not your typical Chosen...

He immediately summoned his coin, and divide it into three...

The first coin was then transformed to a 'Dark Wolf' (rare) that he immediately ride on, while the second coin was changed to an 'Inferior Praying Mantis' (rare) which immediately went to the forefront, and lastly, the last coin, which was not changed to anything and was just levitating beside Adam.

The transformation took only 5 seconds, and within that time, the One-fang Venomous Viper instantly lunged on the Mantis that was on the forefront.

But alas, before the snake could even reach the Mantis, the latter moved rapidly, turning blurred, and after a second, was now standing beside the One-Fang Venomous Viper, having its claw stretched out.

As for the former? Its head was decimated as the Mantis accelerated.

Blood can be seen dripping from the claw of the Inferior Praying Mantis as it beheaded the Viper in just one stroke.

'Ding!'

[ You have killed a level 170 normal-grade monster 'One-Fang Venomous Viper' ]

[ 5,300 exp obtained ]

At last, after collecting the Viper's carcass, Adam and his summoning continued digging deeper on the hunting ground.

-------

'Tsk tsk'

After 8 and half hours of continuous hunting, Adam released a 'tsk' as he was dissatisfied with the result of his practice so far.

He had stayed on this hunting ground from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, nonetheless, his progress on his skill's mastery was slower than he expected.

The reason was despite One-Fang Venomous Viper's Gigantic Size, it was still weak and didn't give Adam a challenge at all, thus, all he could practice was the proper amount of mana to be supplied on his summoning under different circumstances and experimentation on his summoning's specified attribute enhancement (like focus on agility, strength and so on...).

As he was contemplating, a message from the system which he much awaited for, rang...

'Ding!'

[ You can now accept and do quest ]

[ Pending quest: 1 ]

[ Do you want to accept the E-grade quest 'Kill a level 180 rare-grade monster One-Fang Venomous Viper'? ]

[ Yes/No ]

"Yes!", Adam immediately answered which was then followed by the system's announcement...

[ You have accepted the E-grade Quest ]

[ Additional reward will be given based on your rating ]

'Nice', Adam uttered excitedly as he was enthusiastic at the possible reward that he would receive once he achieved an AAA-grade rating or hopefully, SSS-Grade.

Thus, without further ado, Adam instantly shifted his gaze on the monster beside him, or rather a One-Fang Venomous Viper (rare).

Earlier, he encountered this rare-grade monster but he didn't kill it immediately and just suppressed it using his net-form coin.

'Gulp'

The Viper just gulped as it looked at Adam's eyes which flickered with excitement, and as it expected, a claw from the Mantis instantly swept through its head, swiftly beheading the Viper.

A message then appeared before Adam...

'Ding!'

[ You have killed a level 180 rare-grade monster 'One-Fang Venomous Viper' ]

[ 7,300 exp obtained ]

[ Quest Progress: 1/1 ]

[ You have completed the E-grade quest 'Kill a level 180 rare-grade monster 'One-Fang Venomous Viper' ]

[ Calculating the Chosen's performance.... ]

[ An A rating is given based on Chosen's performance ]

'Ding'

[ Reward will now be given... ]

[ You have received +5 remaining attribute points ]

[ You have received 10,000 gold ]

Note: I'll be using gold from now on, just gold, no copper nor silver included.

[ An additional reward will be given based on your rating... ]

'Ding!'

[ You have received an A-grade miscellaneous item 'All-knowing Item' (replica) ]

'This!'

Adam was speechless at the rating that he received, as he was expecting that he would certainly receive an AAA-grade item at least.

But alas, even though he killed the Viper within a second after accepting the quest, the rating given was still only A-rating.

'Now I know why an AAA rating was unheard of till now', he thought as he was reassuring himself.

Additionally, as he referred to Greed's performance on his last rating, he deduces that performance or how the completion of the quest was done also played a big role in quest rating.

Also, Greed's skill killed 200+ monsters at the same time, which were beyond the killed required.

Though that's the case, Adam still didn't think of using Greed's skill on every quest that he would accept as it was so powerful and eye-catching.

Of course, unless the area was somewhere isolated and far from cities or villages.

Soon, since he had finished his agenda on this hunting ground, he then planned to leave this area.

But before doing so, he first took an item out of his storage ring while revealing an excited expression...

Of course, the item was the A-grade item 'Mask of Emre'.

After taking out the item, he immediately put it on his face, which was then followed by the system's announcement.

[ Do you want to use the A-grade item 'Mask of Emre'? ]

[ Yes/No ]

"Yes!"

[ Please state your desired changes in your appearance ]

After the message, Adam instantly let out the traits that he wanted to change as he had give it a thought.

"My hair, turn it into straight and gold-colored one, My nose, make it sharper, my height, change it to 190 cm, my body, make it a little muscular...", Adam uttered

A while later, after saying all his desired changes, his body instantly gleamed as it underwent a complete change.

'Ding!'

[ All the changes have been applied ]

Soon, after the lights dimmed, and finally subsided, a new appearance of Adam was then revealed...

"It's cool!", Adam uttered excitedly while looking at his new looks.
