Buried City’s mission desk was always one of the busiest locations. Members enjoyed chatting and discussing how to complete their subsequent missions there. They also kept an eye out for stronger members, seeking cooperation, and so on.
Over the past two days, one of the most exciting topics among them was Name Stolen. Since the members could upgrade their membership cards and have the added following feature, Name Stolen had become the top ten most discussed topics.
When the crowd discovered Name Stolen had completed another mount mission with outstanding results, many curious members rushed to the mission desk to find out whether or not Name Stolen would pick up his mount.
Then three well-known casinos in Buried City deliberately opened their doors. Considering the most trending bets, they tended to keep up with mount missions because Name Stolen would have broken four consecutive records if he broke one more record. Then his points would be even greater.
Still, it would not affect him even if he did not break another record. Therefore, it was reasonable for Name Stolen to accept more mount missions and offer extremely low odds of 1.01 to 1.01.
On the contrary, the odds would be 1 to 1.5 to 1 if Name Stolen did not receive more mount missions. Even so, many chose the extremely low odds because they thought it was the best opportunity for them to gather wool.
Of course, it was confidential to the parties involved. Otherwise, wouldn’t Moss be the one controlling the bets?
…
Moss immediately attracted everyone’s attention when he completed his third mount mission and appeared at the mission desk. He had received more attention since completing two consecutive missions.
Name Stolen was famous across the Wind Region and the entire city then. Moreover, most who initially wanted to harm or conspire against Name Stolen dispelled their ill intentions.
“Look, Name Stolen is over there!” As soon as this sentence fell, people crowded the road leading to the management. The members quickly made way for him, and his journey became much smoother.
That action surprised Moss. However, he instantly understood the reason behind it from the crowd’s expression and discussions. Moss simply smiled and cupped his hands in front of his chest before walking straight to the manager.
“Name Stolen, Your mission completion speed is astounding!” Stallone, the manager, took Moss’s membership card, quickly swiping it across the stone tablet.
“Let’s see if you’ve broken three consecutive records,” Stallone’s eyes brightly shined as he spoke. He was hopeful for Name Stolen.
After a moment, Stallone returned Moss’s membership card and thundered, “Congratulations! You’ve broken three consecutive records and obtained 2,530 points!”
He paused and added, “I’ve updated your points so you can check each mission’s specific points and rewards through your membership card!”
Then Stallone looked at Moss smilingly and excitedly said, “You must continue working hard, Name Stolen! I think you can break another record!”
“Thank you, Stallone! I will work hard, but breaking records also requires luck. I hope mine will be good in the future!” Moss smiled at Stallone and turned to walk toward the massive stone tablet as he spoke.
When the crowd heard Name Stolen had obtained 2,530 points after completing three missions, they burst into exclamations, praises, and discussions.
Simultaneously, the members looked forward to Name Stolen’s next mission.
…
After hearing what Stallone said, Moss wanted to accept another mount mission. Moss was about to use his membership card to update his mission list when the system sounded in his mind.
“Congratulations, your mount’s growth value has exceeded 200 points. You have successfully unlocked this condition. Your current mount growth value is 205/200.
“Congratulations, you have broken three consecutive records in the dungeon. You will receive 50 Holy Belief values and 1,005 Holy Belief points.
“You have completed the dungeon quest and received 40 experience points. Your current experience is 390.”
Moss’s eyes sparkled when he heard that. He happily opened his control panel and looked at the information within.
‘Huh? I have a new name! It’s Super Paladin!’
When Moss realized the first profession evolution route had a name, he excitedly clicked on the question mark behind it that had turned red.
“Experience value: 390/500 (click to see details). Unlocked.”
“5-star Red Flame Holy Sword: 0/1 (click to see how to obtain). Locked.”
“Advanced achievement: 0/1. Locked.”
Moss was delighted to see the contents. ‘Two hidden conditions appeared simultaneously!’
The conditions required to evolve into a Super Paladin should have appeared from the contents displayed. Moreover, Moss had already completed two conditions.
Although he was unfamiliar with the two new conditions, it was a good thing they had appeared. He felt enlightened at that moment.
Moss quickly opened the prompt behind the 5-star Red Flame Holy Sword condition. “You can refine your sword through the fire elemental and the required crystals. You need no less than two crystals per type and no lower than grade eight.
“Hint: The higher the level and amount of crystals you have, the higher the success rate.”
‘It seems the most crucial task for me now is to search for the required crystals.’ Moss reread the hint carefully and memorized the names of the required crystals.
Although Moss was unfamiliar with the names, he had a hunch he could find them in Buried City, mainly because it was rich in resources. Thus, he swiped his membership card across the stone tablet again.
Then Moss searched for level 3 or 4 missions concerning resources. This way, he could continue training in Buried City and search for the needed crystals.
He flipped through the level 3 and 4 missions from beginning to end, finally choosing a level 3 mission to collect crystals.
‘The Forest Region, huh? It looks like I still have a lot of homework to do,’ Moss could not help but smile when he thought of the Forest Region. His heart could not help but beat excitedly.
…
No one else knew what Moss was thinking. Therefore, the members were puzzled when they discovered Name Stolen had chosen a resource-searching mission.
“What is he thinking? Why didn’t he continue choosing mount-related missions since his mount is so strong? He can receive 1.5 times more points for breaking another record.”
“Yeah, is he satisfied with his points?”
…
Indeed, Moss’s decision had surprised and disappointed the members looking forward to his fourth record-breaking performance. They wanted to watch a good show, but it abruptly ended.
It was like the first time Name Stolen had broken a record. Many could not help but sigh.
“He came and went in such a hurry!”
“It’s tough to understand Name Stolen’s thoughts!”
The members who had bet on Moss to choose the mount-related missions were the most devastated among the crowd. They initially thought Name Stolen would pick a wave of mount-related missions steadily.
Who would have thought they would lose their bet without even having a chance to earn it back? The more anxious ones even blamed it on Name Stolen. Among them was Stuart’s gang.
…
“My thousands of points went into the drain! I will make you suffer, Name Stolen!” Stuart roared in a massive room.
