Chapter 56: MVP

As the guildmaster of Jumping Nucleons, InkFlashback broke the first sacred record together with a native of Aquaflow and his guild members at a time of thirty minutes and seven seconds.

This was almost ten minutes faster than the records made by the natives!

This was a record that natives would not be able to break without the help of any players.

When InkFlashback came out of the Tower of Trials, a large crowd was awaiting eagerly with applause and flowers for the ‘historical feat’.

Of course, these people weren’t players but the soldiers and some ministers from Aquaflow.

The players outside the Tower of Trials had already gotten used to how the Jumping Nucleons guild broke the sacred records with an NPC. Perhaps they would have cheered the first time they saw it happening, but it had already happened so many times that they didn’t even think it was worthy of note anymore.

“Great sacred soul, the world shall remember your strength,” a minister started praising the players as they saw the record of thirty minutes and seven seconds.

“Oh. Where’s the reward?”

InkFlashback didn’t really pay any heed to them, reaching out towards the minister, while the latter got the idea and took out a large bag that contained 1500 magical stones.

When InkFlashback touched the bag, a message appeared asking how he wanted to distribute the magical stones.

Magical stones weren’t tradable items and could only be used to buy items at the Faerie Merchant’s stall. Upon receiving the reward, InkFlashback gave all of them to FluffyRabbit.

In the past few days, all of their members had already obtained the skins that they wanted instead of FluffyRabbit who was still three off. This time they went into the dungeon was purely for the sake of getting new clothes for FluffyRabbit.

“Great sacred soul, may I ask why you collect these magical stones?” That minister saw that the party was about to leave, so he quickly asked.

“A hidden quest? No…” InkFlashback glanced at Prince Segman who was still talking to FluffyRabbit. He was the only native in the team, and in the time they were in the dungeon InkFlashback had a hard time seeing him as a mere NPC.

The NPCs in Sacred Souls all gave InkFlashback the impression that they were all real humans, and this made him accustomed to their high intelligence and insane amount of preset dialogues.

“To get new clothes. If you want more information you can ask that faerie over there. This record would probably be maintained for quite a while, so we won’t be accepting anymore requests for the first level. As for the second…”

Before InkFlashback could finish his sentence, the first ranking on the Stone Slab of Honor was broken!

‘Congratulations to the Abyssal Shrine guild: Zanshin, Eyeless, EggFriedRice, Dishcloth, SwimmingPolice, NoSlippedDisc have broken the record with a speed of twenty-eight minutes and thirty-two seconds!’

InkFlashback’s brows furrowed, and his nonchalant expression froze in place.

Those ministers that thought that the sacred record was in Aquaflow’s grasp started panicking, looking at InkFlashback and back at the entrance of the Tower of Trials.

“Old Song! Sorry for breaking your records again!”

The elemental mage Zanshin walked out of the entrance, and InkFlashback wasn’t really surprised. The Jumping Nucleons and the Abyssal Shrine guilds have been competing for a long time, and both guilds have developed a sort of strange rivalry.
