VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 62: Gratitude of the mayor

[As a reward for achieving the highest contribution in the regional quest, you will be rewarded.] Your next read awaits at ???

[Ding!]

[Achievement: [Defenders of town (Common)]

[Money pouch (Highest contributor): Copper- 200. Silver- 100. Gold: 1.]

[Achievement: [Judge of evil (Rare) will be awarded for contributing to the Dark magician raid.]

[As additional rewards for having the most notable performance in the quest, you will receive a small blessing of nature.]

A green light sprung up from beneath her feet and unique white stars fell on her from above.

"Wow…"

It was an effect that the players around her were well familiar with since this was something very famous, so everyone around her including Elio gasped with surprise.

[Strength+3.]

[Agility+3.]

[Endurance+3.]

"This is something I deserved already."

Not all of them seeing this special effect knew it, but she was rewarded these stats for her own achievements.

The blessing of nature was something that players earned naturally for their achievements randomly.

Though players seeing this attributed it to her highest contribution, she had in fact earned it with her performance in the quest.

She did not mind the stats, she was obviously happy to receive nine stat points in her physical stats.

"Alright, then. Let's go."

Elio received two more achievements in addition to the two that she had received– one for perfectly casting the magic from the golden book she showed him, [Ancient magic caster (Common).] and [Master of a mutant (Common).] for taming Miu.

He didn't understand why he obtained the achievement after the quest had ended, but she knew Miu played a vital role in this quest somehow.

Just that she did not yet have enough information to tell him everything that she suspected.

"Yes…"

The rewards of the system were generous. So now, they had come to meet the Mayor.

The money both of them obtained from this one quest alone was more than enough to go around and buy some decent stuff in the town.

The Trading site wasn't always the best place to buy low level simple things since all the players knew how the real good and unique things could only be purchased from the shops and merchants.

"The mayor has been waiting for you two. Please, this way."

The Otherworld market was a trading section for the players. And as all players knew, no one sane enough would put any good item in there unless it was something useless to them, or they were dumb enough to misclick what they wanted to put up there.

"Welcome. Please take a seat."

They had to go shopping now that the sad event was concluded. But before that, they were visiting the Mayor in his office in the town hall.

"Hello, mister Mayor-."

"Call me Hunter. It is fine."

Both of them now had the maximum familiarity with the mayor as well as the guard captain.

Their relationship status had changed from [Acquaintances] to [Benefactor] as well.

Both the characters now looked up to the two of them since without them, this town might not have been around anymore.

And for saving their home, the Mayor wanted to thank both of them personally.

Finishing the work he was doing, the mayor placed his pen down and walked to the side, and poured some water for his guests himself.

"Please don't hesitate to ask for anything you want."

There were already some refreshments prepared on the table before the two of them, and he still offered both of them water himself…

He was the mayor, so even the servants in the room were surprised how he was doing those simple things himself when they all were present.

The air of dignity and authority were still around her, his eyes still had the same light as it did before, and he was still wearing his professional clothing.

The only thing surprising here was how he was behaving, and how there was still no difference to the air around him.

"Thanks, Lord Hunter."

"Hahaha. I am no lord, young lady. I'm merely a servant of someone who entrusted this town to me."

He held the title of the Mayor of this town but this town was not a democracy or a republic.

It was a place owned by the Viscounty that owned the a great part of southwestern lands of the Kingdom of Viv.

The viscount was a noble lord who chose certain individuals and gave them positions of the town operators for set time periods, and though he had been the mayor of Moongold for the last five years, his turn as the Mayor was coming to a close.

And after he isn't the mayor anymore, he would be just a regular citizen of this town like the rest of the common people.

"I am no lord, but merely a servant. However, even as a servant, I thank both of you for all you have done for us."

Mayor bowed down to them even before he had taken his seat, surprising both of them who had been drinking the water he handed them.

"I know it would not be an exaggeration to say you two saved the town yourself. However, it is a fact that everyone contributed to the safety of this town."

He sat down and gave them both a moment to handle themselves.

The water was still in their mouths so he could tell they were still surprised.

They might not have expected this kind of reaction from him, but he was being genuine, and that much the two of them could tell from the eyes he had alone.

"I don't have much left, but please tell me if I can do anything for you. I will do my best to see if it is possible."

The rewards that they received from the system was just a portion of the total rewards that they were going to receive from this quest.

Their contribution was much more complex from what one might think, aside from the system rewards, they were going to get a gift from the guard captain, and a direct favor from the Mayor.

"If that's the case…"

Both of them had something that they had in mind and, now that they had the chance, they did not hesitate to tell the mayor their wishes.
