Chapter 97 - 97: What is Might?Ding! Congratulations, Master, on completing the achievement task: Your disciple's first kiss. Reward: 10 Luck Points. You currently have 390 Luck Points remaining. Keep up the good work! Deeper development will bring unexpected rewards! Ding! Congratulations, Master, on completing the first kill of the 17th-floor boss. Reward: 50 Luck Points. You currently have 440 Luck Points remaining. As Blake walked through the forest, two system notifications sounded, causing him to pause, displaying an odd expression. The Boss first kill was understandable, but what was this about the disciple's first kiss... And the implied message—are you trying to make me commit a crime? "By the way, Sia, I've killed over ten thousand monsters these past few days, right? Why haven't I received any achievement task notifications?" Blake suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion. "Master, this is a special benefit of the Dungeon World. The achievement cap is 1,000. If you continue grinding, the Luck Points would accumulate too easily. The system won't allow that loophole," Sia immediately explained in her sweet voice. "Ah, I see." Blake nodded after thinking for a moment. So each monster level has a cap of 1,000? "Forget it, it doesn't matter." Shaking his head, he dismissed the thought and left it behind. As for the Luck Points—although he had 240 more to use and could do a mid-level draw, he was already satisfied with his abilities. It was better to save them for later. --- After a while, Blake arrived in the small town to find Liliruca. He had forgotten to mention the meeting point to Lili—what a mistake. Walking down the street, he frowned, thinking. Forget it, I'll search for her, and if I can't find her, I'll go to the Loki Familia. Smart Lili should be there waiting for me. "Hey, you guys are so unfair! The price you sold to the guy ahead was 50,000 valis cheaper!" At that moment, Blake suddenly heard a familiar voice. He paused and looked over. There, Lili was arguing angrily with a rough-looking adventurer. "If you're not buying, you can go somewhere else. But be aware, others may not even have any left," the man said dismissively, waving Lili off. "You...!" Lili felt powerless upon hearing the man's attitude. Following Blake's orders, she had done her best. She had gone to exchange money but was scammed. Then she searched for maps and found only one shop selling the detailed map of the 38th floor in the whole town. She wanted to buy it, but the seller doubled the price, charging 100,000 valis for a map that was originally worth 50,000 valis. How despicable! Seeing the man's smug expression, Lili pressed her lips together in frustration, only managing to take out the money in the end. For her, fulfilling Blake's request was an absolute priority. "Lili, what's going on?" Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Blake's gentle voice suddenly appeared in her ear, making her pause in surprise before she turned to face him, her face lighting up with joy. "Blake-sama!" "Blake...! Could it be...?" The rough-looking man widened his eyes, surprised, as he looked at the silver-haired, handsome youth standing in front of him. "Blake-sama, he's deliberately jacking up the price, trying to scam us of 50,000 valis!" It seemed as though Lili had found her support. She quickly pointed at the rough man, her frustration clear. "Hm?" Blake raised an eyebrow, his crystal-blue eyes flashing coldly. Though he wasn't in need of money and didn't care much about it, being scammed was something that annoyed him. "Could it be... you're Blake, the one who recently competed with the Apollo Familia?" The rough man shivered involuntarily under Blake's piercing gaze, nervously chuckling. As a merchant of their Familia, he had been on the 18th floor for quite some time and hadn't witnessed the recent excitement personally. However, he had heard about it from his companions. The rough-looking man almost wanted to curse in frustration, feeling extremely annoyed. From his perspective, he quickly realized that this was the first time that Lili had come to the 18th floor. People like her were the easiest to deceive, especially since she seemed desperate to obtain the map, so he had some devious thoughts. He never expected to end up scamming such a formidable person. "Well, what's this about?" Looking calmly at the rough man, Blake spoke in a calm tone, making it hard for others to read his emotions. Cough cough. "I... didn't recognize who you were. I didn't realize this young lady was your ally. As an apology, please accept this map, Mr. Blake. The map I have is much clearer and more reliable than the ones sold on the surface." Seeing Blake acknowledge his identity, the rough man immediately forced a smile, handing over the well-preserved map while trying to flatter him. This man could take on the Apollo Familia by himself, had good relations with the Loki and Freya Familias, and was rumored to be the mentor of the Sword Princess. Although his own Familia was fairly strong—stronger than Apollo's—offending Blake would come with consequences that he could not afford. When his Familia found out, they would probably sell him out first. "Uh..." Seeing the complete 180-degree change in attitude from the large man, Lili stared, dumbfounded. All it took was knowing Blake-sama's name, and this happened. At that moment, Lili finally realized just how significant Blake's reputation was in Orario. "Since that's the case, I won't be polite." Blake glanced at him, then calmly took the map, and, without a second word, took Lili's hand and left. If the man's attitude had been off, Blake was prepared to use his Luck-Stealing ability, but since the man seemed to know how to handle the situation, he let him off this time. "Phew, that presence was too overwhelming. The rumors were definitely not exaggerated..." Watching Blake's back as he left, the rough man wiped the sweat from his brow, muttering to himself. He felt as if death itself was staring at him when Blake's crystal-blue eyes locked onto him. --------------- ???? Boost This Fanfic! ???? Every 500 Power Stones gets 2 bonus Chapters! ????
