Daytime Reception Work

Galvatein introduces a new adventurer rank mechanic for both adventurers and monsters in the fifth episode. Basically, even if every other detail is correct, if the adventurer’s combat rank is not up to par with that of the monster’s, then the quest will be rejected.
Felix’s Quest

Click on the Serensia region in the monster encyclopedia to start analyzing this quest. The monster that you’re looking for is Nhaga. Since the combat rank of this monster is higher than what Felix is capable of handling, you’ll have to simply reject the quest. Even though the loot and the credentials are all well within standards, the adventurer rank is not.
Galen’s Quest

Make your way inside the Canellia region first and foremost for Galen’s quest. The monster that you need to research is the Wyvern. Galen’s loot perfectly matches the description in the encyclopedia, and his adventurer rank is also suitable. The guild license is also valid, and the quest has not expired yet either. You can go ahead and approve this quest.
Zeronos’s Quest

You can clearly see that the loot compartment is completely empty. So there’s no point in doing any kind of research for this quest. You can just reject the entire quest based on the loot being the reason for your rejection.
Rina’s Quest

This is a gathering quest, so you’ll have to switch to the gathering part of the encyclopedia. Next, make your way inside the magic section and click on Cupillow. Since this item is exactly the solution that the client needs, you can go ahead and approve the quest. Rina’s credentials are also completely valid, and so is the time limit for the quest itself.
Chewie’s Quest

The Giant Bee is the main monster of this quest, which can be found in the Kingdom of Galvatein region. However, this quest cannot be approved because Chewie’s adventurer rank is not high enough to beat this enemy. You’ll have to reject this quest on the basis of the low adventurer rank.
Margaret’s Quest

Open up the Demon Lord’s Ruins region inside your encyclopedia. Succubus is the main monster that you need to investigate for this quest. Since the loot checks out and all the credentials are proper, you can go ahead and approve this quest. Even though Margaret’s adventurer rank is a tier below that of Succubus, she still wins because of the favorable matchup.
Veitz’s Quest

You can pretty easily decide the fate of this quest by looking at the expiry date. The time limit is long overdue, and the rewards for completing the quest cannot be granted anymore. You can go ahead and reject this quest by using the expiry date as the main reason.
Selpha’s Quest

Just like Veitz’s quest, Selpha’s quest can also be rejected on the basis of its expiry date. As you can see, the time limit is already over, so there’s no point in approving this quest.
Dorothea’s Quest

Your final quest of the day involves the Kermier region in the monsters section of the encyclopedia. The monster that you want to look at is the One-Eyed Spider. It perfectly matches the description of the quest and the loot itself. Dorothea is also skilled enough to take this monster down, and her credentials are perfect, so you can approve this quest.
Nighttime Cooking Section

The cooking sections make a return in episode 5, and you’ll have to create new recipes to feed your adventurers once again. Rely on your trusty Kaul to create the perfect dishes for your guild in the game. Also, make sure that you’ve purchased all the available ingredients from the Loot Merchant at this point.
Veitz’s Order

Blood Pudding is the dish that you want to make for Veitz in this section. Use the bloody bat blood gland as your main ingredient, followed by the suspicious gelatin as your main ingredient. Lastly, use the forest breath as your final sub-ingredient and cook this dish to satisfy the sweet desires of Veitz.
Chewie’s Order

For Chewie, you’ll want to make the Frog Tongue Soup. Start off by using the sticky tongue as your main ingredient. Follow up with the pamston barley flour as your first sub-ingredient and the flame seed as your second sub-ingredient. Cook the dish and serve the soup to Chewie.
Your dialogue choices following this section can greatly affect Chewie’s future. You can make her decide between her father’s dream and her own here.
