Chapter 61: Contribution calculations
"Finally. The contribution."
"Haaa…"
"Why did we even have to wait for something like that for so long.
"Anyway, it is finally here."
The players had to wait for just the list of their contribution this time around because of the nature of the quest. Experience new tales on ???
Since it was a quest issued by the town mayor, the one who held the highest authority within this town, he also had the right to reveal the contribution to the rest of the people.
It wasn't like the contribution calculations had taken days, something of this small scale did not even take a few hours for the advanced system even with all the variables and unique elements it counted.
One of the unique features of this world was the calculation powers of the system that had unique ways to perceive things.
Though one could not call it omniscient or omnipotent, it was something that was established in order to help the natives and the players.
And there were rarely any complaints about the system's methods or function.
It did not take long for the contribution calculations to happen, however, since the nature of this quest was unique, the players had to wait until the Mayor revealed the list.
But now that they could see it, many of them were surprised, some were having a hard time accepting it, and those who weren't aiming for the top rewards but merely good rewards were happy to see their rankings in the list.
============
1] #### (Pt: 15,999)
2] Axar <Guards' captain>
3] Aloha <Town representative> (Pt: 9876)
4] Elio (Pt: 9771)
5] Roland Lan Hunter <Town Mayor>
6] Ahitem (Pt: 7716)
7] Kaveh (Pt: 7121)
8] Lumine (Pt: 6699)
9] Rin (Pt: 6000)

============
The name of the one who had obtained the highest contribution that was even beyond the contribution of the person who dealt with the dark magician and the Town's mayor was concealed by the system.
However, those who had contributed the most to this whole quest knew exactly who this person might be.
They had received orders from her directly, and even the guard captain had worked as her suggestions.
The guard captain and the mayor had given up their own contributions from what they could see in the final list, so the players could tell how someone who had not even been seen throughout the actual fight might have been on top in the contribution list.
And though they did not know who the one in the fourth position was, they knew well how the only person who could receive that high of a contribution and still be unknown would be the newbie with the slime who they had only known briefly.
It was surprising to them just what they might have done to get the contribution points of not just the guard captain that they were close with but also the mayor who wasn't exactly someone who would so openly favor someone.
This was strange for the players, but to the people in question, this was no big deal.
"You got first place, congrats!"
"Don't make fun of me, bastard."
Elio had a smirk on his face as he scrolled through the list.
The fact that she got first place was surely something he was proud of, but the fact that she got that place after the two of them gave up their contribution to the two of them did not go well with her.
They did it without asking or telling them so they could not do anything about it, but if they had informed them, she would never accept something that wasn't hers… or something that she had not earned herself.
'She's the kind that never leaves even a copper coin if it belongs to her. But if something doesn't belong to her rightfully, she avoids having it– calling it a negative gesture.'
She doesn't like having what isn't hers and she doesn't like giving away what belongs to her.
"Hehe, everyone seems envious of you."
"Hump."
She was an orphan.
She did not have any parents and she never got adopted from the orphanage that she grew up in.
She was smart, but she had never received any official education.
She did not have any degrees like him, and she had never gone to any school either.
Until she had become an adult and left the orphanage on her own, she had mostly taken care of herself.
Most that she had learned was from books or from the vast internet that was available to everyone in these two worlds, even to the most common people.
She hardly had any friends, and if it wasn't for a fateful encounter, the two of them might not have even met.
"You know what? I should go up to some high building and throw away the coins I earn from this. Make it rain money."
"Instead of doing that, shower me with your money, ma'am. I will still be poor even with the money I receive from this quest."
She was serious when she said she would throw away the money that she receives from her main quest rewards.
She genuinely did not like how the two of them just gave her their own contribution without even asking her– they divided the contribution between many people but she still got something that she had not done anything for.
She had done her best in the quest and she would not have had any less contribution than Miss Aloha, the representative of all the players in this town, as well as the one who had been here for the longest.
But thanks to the two of their contributions, she was now on top of the list. And she did not like that.
"Oh, right. You're broke… right! How about we go shopping after we get the money~?"
All that she had right now was something that she earned on her own.
No one had ever given her more than what she had worked for in her younger days, so having only what she had earned had become part of her nature.
She avoided accepting help as well, that was another main reason she had been a Solo player for all these years.
But just like how couldn't do anything about what had already happened, occasionally, she did not mind accepting these unwanted things– that unwanted help.
"Sure. I'd like that more than you throwing away the money that I helped you earn." He was smirking at her once again, and she absolutely did not like this.
"What did you say you bastard?! I was the one who did the actual fighting!"
She was angry at him, so she was shouting. Thankfully, there was nothing to throw at the table or his head might have been bruised by now.
"Hump. Even Az and Miu did more than you!"
"Miu~!"
"Muuuu~."
She did this often. But after listening to this loud and not so melodious voice of hers for so long, he had become used to it.
