Chapter 39: New Follower (1/2)

Angora pondered again after he had assigned the two Players with the quest to investigate the Secret Eye Society and saw them off.

First and foremost, the quest itself was definitely unachievable for those two dimwits. It was only by chance that they ran into the scouts they captured, and Angora would definitely be the first to doubt that they could infiltrate the Secret Eye.

If anything, it would be nice if they did not lure the enemy here.

Either way, he must assign the new mission to other Players.

“I have the game coins, but the yield points are going to be an issue.” Angora scratched his head in distress.

After the players had joined, the town’s crop production was a lot more rapid. The additional food could also be exchanged for a considerable sum, which allowed Angora to become rich immediately and actually plan for more higher-level crops.

He could afford paying everyone a hundred game coins like it was a drop in the ocean, but yield points were not so easily obtainable.

The yield point system was connected to the prosperity the town, and the prosperity of the town required more construction of houses and buildings. Now that their population had stabilized and there were actually vacant houses, the prosperity rate had almost stopped rising.

That was why the yield points which should be redeemed to buy new buildings was quite precious and must not be wasted.

Angora was touching his chin in thought. There was some beard stubble on it as he was almost reaching adulthood, and it felt rough to touch.

“Have to get some reliable Players for this quest…”

At the moment, the Players whom Angora thought highly of was—aside from Marni who was about to leave—was Edward and his party. Although Marni himself appeared to be another dimwit occasionally and was frequently killed in the most spectacular manners possible, he was still formerly a leader of a merchant convoy. He checks out whether it was interpersonal relationships, teamwork, and mobility.

As for Edward’s group, they seemed to be the earliest believers of the God of Games and were the top in both levels and combat ability, not to mention that both healers in town were in their group.

Most importantly, even if Edward was a little younger than Angora, he took things seriously as the leader of the party—it was an attribute that most Players seemed to lose after obtaining the system, becoming carefree like how they were now…

“Vela, could you help me to call for Edward and…”

Angora turned to Vela, intending to get her to fetch Edward’s group but spaced out when he looked above her. “On your head…”

Her name was written in white words that hovered above her.

“Hmm. It seems that I have made it and become a True Believer of the God of Games.” She smiled sweetly at his blank look.

Recovering, Angora cheered and gave a silly smile as well.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s celebrate!”

“Eh? My lord, don’t you have something else to do?” She asked, tilting her head.

“It can wait. Celebrating with you is more important!” Angora said seriously.

“Is, is that so…” The girl’s face was a little red in embarrassment.
