After enhancing his skills and equipment, Su Yu’s power increased dramatically!
Moreover, a Level 10 [Pet System] has been unlocked, allowing him to have his first pet.
Unfortunately, there was no “Incubation Room” in the village. He would have to go to the main city to hatch the [Howling Moon Wolf Egg].
Looking at his remaining game time for the day, he had a little over two hours left.
“I’ll use these two hours to solo the Level 10 dungeon. Clearing the dungeon will give me a shot at a ‘Mega Horn’, which I can use to promote my guild.” Having made up his mind, Su Yu headed towards the newbie village.
Of course, besides clearing the dungeon, the first stage of the [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire] quest had just been completed.
He planned to turn in this quest when he returned to the village before heading off to clear the dungeon.
Nolan Village square.
“Hello, Village Chief! I’m here to turn in a quest.” Su Yu navigated through the bustling crowd, heading towards the old Village Chief.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the players in the square disappeared in an instant, leaving the once-bustling square quiet with only NPCs and Su Yu.
Su Yu was no longer surprised by this occurrence.
This kind of situation would occur when carrying out a special mission and entering an independent plane, making it impossible to see other players.
This kind of situation would appear during many hidden quests, main storyline quests, and battlefield campaigns.
“It’s you, young adventurer.” The Village Chief was delighted, his white beard twitching: “Did you get the [Head of the Howling Moon Wolf Leader]?”
“Something even better, I obtained the head of the Wolf King.” Without hesitation, Su Yu took out the head of the Wolf King and handed it to the Village Chief.
“Whoa!” The Village Chief was startled, extremely excited.
He trembled as he accepted the fluffy head of the Wolf King: “The head of the Wolf King! Adventurer, you did an excellent job! You’re the most impressive adventurer I’ve ever seen, I’m sure of it!”
“Then… what about the reward?” Su Yu rubbed his fingers together.
“Oh, look at my poor memory!” The Village Chief slapped his head and grabbed Su Yu’s hand: “Come, follow me home. My house is quite large.”
“What are you doing?” Su Yu was watchful.
“The reward is at my house, come with me to pick it up. You can’t expect me to conjure a horse for you on the spot, can you?”
“Then, what did you mean, ‘my house is quite large’?”
“My house is very spacious and the head of the Wolf King will make a great specimen to hang up inside. I can then boast that I was the one who slayed the wolf!” The Village Chief rubbed the head of the Wolf King with fiery eyes:
“Despite my age, I’m still as sharp as ever! Perhaps Jenny, Mr. William’s widow, will look at me differently because of that! Then we could…”
He didn’t expect the Village Chief to use the head of the Wolf King in this manner.
But since he had already handed in the quest, it was up to the Village Chief to do as he pleased.
Upon arriving at the Village Chief’s house.
It took the Village Chief a while, rummaging through his storage room, before he finally found a long, rusty sword.
“Brave adventurer, as a reward for assisting me in killing the Wolf King, I’m giving you this sword! This is the best sword in our entire village!”
The corner of Su Yu’s mouth twitched.
Not only was the sword the Village Chief was holding extremely dilapidated and rusty, but it was also considered the “best sword in the village”?
However, he didn’t say anything and reached out to take the long sword.
But at the very moment he picked up the hilt, the blade of the long sword suddenly broke off from the hilt!
Clang!
The sword’s blade fell off and hit the stone floor.
Su Yu stared blankly, holding the hilt with no blade.
“I’m sorry, adventurer, this sword has been stored for too long, I forgot to glue it back together.”
The Village Chief said “sorry, ” but he didn’t look apologetic at all.
He took the hilt from Su Yu’s hand, went back into the room to find a bottle of glue, and glued the blade and the hilt together.
After that, he handed the glued long sword and the bottle of glue to Su Yu, boasting: “Adventurer, you shouldn’t underestimate this sword. It had been my companion for ten years, and we never once suffered a defeat!”
Su Yu himself didn’t know how to describe his feelings at this point.
Wouldn’t the village chief give him a lousy sword, would he?
If this was indeed a lousy item, he’d devise a way to bait the next Wolf King and unleash a massacre on the sixth starter village.
Su Yu checked out the sword’s properties. [Best Sword of the Village (Consumable)]
Uses remaining: 10
Usage method: Point this sword at the target and yell “Behold the sword!”
Effect: The blade breaks off onto the ground, if the target’s level is not higher than yours by 10 levels, they will enter the [Astonished] state, lasting 3 seconds.
[Astonished]: Unable to move or attack, being hit cancels this state. Note: Don’t forget to use glue to stick the broken blade back after it’s all used
“The properties are surprisingly not bad,” Su Yu said, rather taken aback. The sword might look horrendous, but its properties were surprisingly good.
No, it could be described as a rather powerful consumable.
Three seconds of steady control, and the ability to influence multiple targets, was too good whether for performing tasks or dealing with bosses!
Objectively, it should have been expected, this was, after all, a reward from the main storyline, it wouldn’t be bad.
Seeing Su Yu satisfied, the village chief grabbed his hand: “Let’s go! We’ll check out your second reward in the stable!”
“Hold on, isn’t this horse going to be quite special too?”
Having experienced the “Best Sword of the Village,” Su Yu doubted that the “Best Horse of the Village” will be an ordinary horse.
“You’ll find out when we get to the stable!” The village chief, without another word, dragged Su Yu out of the room.
Two minutes later.
“Mr. Village Chief, it’s a mare!” Su Yu looked at the small red mare assigned to him by the village chief speechlessly.
Having gone through the “Best Sword of the Village” experience, Su Yu was alerted that “Best Horse of the Village” might be weird.
But the village chief had given him a mare, which he definitely didn’t expect.
In addition to the small mare, several tall and majestic stallions stood in the stable, none of which made the small mare the “best in the village.”
“What’s wrong with a mare? Are you biased against females? If you keep this up, I’ll throw a punch!”
The village chief rolled up his sleeves in a huff.
“No, what I meant was that the leading horse in a herd is usually a male, right? And aren’t the other horses next to it better than this one?”
Su Yu pointed to the tall stallions next to her.
“Eh, actually it’s like this.”
The village chief’s tone changed, reaching out to groom the pony’s mane: “Actually, your task reward for killing the Wolf King was originally not the ‘Best Sword of the Village’ and the ‘Best Horse of the Village’. If you had triggered this task earlier, the reward would have been the ‘Best Sword of the Village’ and the ‘Best Girl of the Village’.”
“Girl?!”
“Right.”
“So… Where is the girl?”
Su Yu stared at the little mare.
Could it be that the little mare had transformed from the “Best Girl of the Village”? What kind of fairy tale twist was this?
The village chief seemed to understand Su Yu’s thoughts, waved his hand:
“Stop thinking nonsense! This is really a mare, not a transformed human. The ‘Best Girl of the Village’ I was talking about, you may not know her, her name is Tina.”
“Tina?”
“Yes, Tina is the kindest girl in our village.” The village chief placed his hands behind his back, his gaze focussed towards the distance: “She has recently passed the talent test and is on her way to Orleans City in a carriage, she’ll become a unicorn knight in the future.”
“This little mare was her most frequent mount. Because of Tina’s departure, the little mare lost its appetite, getting skinnier by the day.”
“Young adventurer, are you willing to take this small mare to Orleans City and personally hand it over to Tina?”
