Chapter 47 (2/2)

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow. First we should return to town…” Ye Cang nodded. Everyone continued walking down the path. The journey back was like a walk in the park, since all they met was some wild animals.

In no time at all, they had already arrived at the outskirts of town and met up with GreenDew. After giving her her share of the loot, they came to the heart of the village where the workers were preparing to go home. The guards saw that it was Ye Cang and relaxed their guard. “Lieutenant PaleSnow, what business do you have with the mayor so late at night?”

ThornyRose sucked in a breath, surprised. This kid was a Really New Village lieutenant!? No wonder he could receive a quest like this. Normally, one wouldn’t be able to meet the mayor without a good reason.

“It’s regarding the blue scaled fishman chief.” Ye Cang said hinting at the bounty that Mayor Mar had posted.

The guards heard it and remembered Mar’s instructions. They nodded and allowed them to pass. Everyone followed Ye Cang’s group and entered the mayor’s office. Mar looked haggard as he sorted through his documents. His face had a few new scratches. He weakly looked up and saw that it was Ye Cang’s group and happily stood up. “Is it done?”

“This is it’s head, it’s foam, hand, foot…” Ye Cang nodded, and began taking out all the remaining parts of Gil Rage. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le again began piecing them together. Mar could feel the contents of his stomach rising. He wanted to shout: “Just taking his head out is enough! Don’t put it together again!” ThornyRose, FrozenBlood and the others were also horrified.

Mar took a deep breath. “I’ve confirmed it. Well done, you and these brave warriors have completed the quest. Here is your reward.”

“Congratulations. You’ve completed the hidden story quest ‘Slay the Blue-Scaled Fishman Chief – Gil Rage’. Your reputation with Really New Village has become revered, and you’ve been promoted to Really New Village’s Guard Captain. Received 700 experience, 5 gold, a random class perk, and a random common perk.”

“Congratulations, you’ve received class perk: Knight’s Mashup Spirit (Rare – First Level): +2 All attributes, and all weapon proficiencies. You can choose any equipment (including weapons), the restrictions to equip it will be reduced by 50%. Can only affect one item at a time. Only works on yourself.”

“Congratulations, you’ve received common perk: Clever and Deft (First Level): +1 Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, all weapon proficiencies, and +2 to reflex.”

Everyone was extremely happy. They didn’t care about the experience or the gold, most important was the perks. One class specific perk and one common perk. Both were rare and difficult to acquire. In the future, the ones they obtain from the class instructors would all be normal ones. They had even received reputation and a post. ThornyRose and the others were now Lieutenants. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le had become Vice-Captains.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le showed their rewards to Ye Cang. Zhang ZhengXiong got Strong and Tough Body (+4 Constitution, gain 1 Strength for every 5 Constitution) and Lightning Reflexes (+4 Reflex, +2 Dexterity).

Lin Le’s was Arms Dealer’s Strength (+3 Heavy Weapon Proficiency, +4 Strength, +3 Constitution, 15% effectiveness of consumables. 25% reduced stun duration and 5% chance to negate) and Tenacious (+1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +2 Will1).

Ye Cang crossed his arms and nodded. Zhang ZhengXiong’s perks were very practical, it would become even more powerful in the future, and right now it was only first level. Now his strength would be decent. That brat was pretty lucky, all he had to do was add constitution. As for Lele, he got more destructive power and the ability to resist stun. His own perks were also not bad, he got increases in every attribute as well as weapon proficiency (affects the damage of a weapon), and he could wear a piece of equipment that he normally wouldn’t be able to, like some heavy armor.

TN: Yay~ My favorite part of game novels is the wierd customized rewards important characters get to make their characters unique. It’s like the system forgot that Zhang ZhengXiong is a priest… what kind of class perk is that? OP!

1: Will = Mental / Spiritual defence. The power to resist mind-effecting abilities.
