Chapter 54 Rank Up!

Alter Dimension.

Black Forest.

It's been more than an hour since Alex started hunting.

Within that time, he did not rest and just hunted monsters after monsters.

Thanks to that, he finally obtained all the necessary proof for the quests.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said "Phew~ that was nice, it feels like I did some light exercise!"

For the current him, hunting monsters here in the first layer of Black Forest is just a walk in the park.

He didn't even have to use much of his strength since all of them got killed with one hit.

That's why right now, Alex felt relaxed.

Stretching a little, Alex opened his inventory.

[Inventory]: Pistol, Dragon Egg, Clothes, Goblin's Ear x5, Wild Boar's Tail x5, Wind Wolf's Fang x5, Horned Rabbit's Horn x5, Slime's Jelly x5]

…

Looking at that, Alex smiled, "I really managed to gather everything. With this, I can surely rank up."

Alex raised his head and looked up to the sky.

The sun is about to set at this time and the sky's color is already dyed bright orange.

Seeing that, Alex sighed and said, "It's already late. After completing these quests, I should go back home first."

Alex turned around and started heading back to Kupido Town.

This time, he did not call Ferri and went back on his own.

This is so that Ferri could continue hunting and increasing his level at its own pace.

10 minutes later, Alex arrived back in Kupido Town.

After passing through the inspection without any incident, Alex went straight to the adventurer guild.

At this time, there's a lot more people than when he first came earlier.

Adventurers who've been out hunting before are slowly coming back since it's already getting dark.

Alex didn't pay attention to them and just directly walked towards an empty counter.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist at that counter was actually the one from earlier, Lisa.

When Lisa saw Alex, she smiled and said, "Oh, hello Mr. Alex, how may I help you this time?"

Without saying a word, Alex took out the monster parts that were in his inventory and put it all on the counter.

Looking at it, Lisa said, "This is…?"

"Oh, uh, I want to hand this over for the continuous subjugation quests."

Hearing that, a look of understanding dawned to Lisa.

"Ah! Then please hand in your guild card."

Alex handed his guild card to Lisa.

"Here."

Lisa took it and said, "Thank you. Please wait a second, I will confirm your kills first."

Lisa then inserted the guild card into a crystal ball.

The next moment, words suddenly started to appear on the surface of the crystal ball.

Alex took a peek at it and saw that it seemed to be a record.

[Kill Record]

[Wild Boar: 6]

[Goblin: 8]

[Horned Rabbit: 7]

[Slime: 7]

…

After seeing it, Alex immediately realized what it was.

He glanced at Lisa and asked, "Is that my kill record?"

Lisa looked up and saw Alex staring at the crystal ball.

With a smile, she nodded, "Yes, just like I said before, the guild card has the function of recording your kills as well as the quests that you completed."

"This is so that we can help manage the adventurers easier."

Alex nodded in understanding.

After a while, Lisa finished what she was doing and handed Alex's guild card back to him.

"I have finished checking your kills, Mr. Alex."

"I have confirmed that you completed the quests [Goblin Subjugation], [Wild Boar Subjugation], [Slime Subjugation], [Horned Rabbit Subjugation], and [Wind Wolf Subjugation]."

"Congratulations, you completed 5 D-rank quests, your rank is now D-rank."

Hearing that, there was no fluctuation in Alex's heart.

He already expected it, there's no reason for him to be surprised.

"Thanks."

Alex said with a smile.

Then he looked at the guild card on his hand and saw that his rank had indeed changed.

From E, it is now D.

While he was looking at it, Lisa's voice sounded once again.

"Here's your reward for completing the quests, Mr. Alex."

Alex received it.

A total of 9 silver coins.

It's like that since the slime subjugation only rewards 1 silver while the others reward 2 silver coins.

After receiving it, Alex left the guild without hesitation.

Now, his next destination is Lucky Restaurant.

Just a couple of minutes and Alex reached the restaurant.

When he arrived, Alex noticed that there were still people lining up in front of the restaurant.

However, it's not as exaggerated as the one from before.

There's only about 4 people standing in line, it seems like they are together, a group of 2 men and 2 women.

Alex just glanced at them before entering the restaurant.

But then, those 4 noticed him and called, "Hey, excuse me!"

Alex stopped and turned his head to look at them, he said, "Yeah?"

One of the girls politely said, "Uhm, there's a line over here. If you want to eat inside the restaurant, please wait in line first."

The other three also looked at Alex while nodding their heads, agreeing to the girl's words.

Hearing that, Alex realized that they misunderstood something and was about to explain.

"Ah, that, actually-"

However, before he even got the chance to do so, the sound of the restaurant door opening sounded followed by Ben's voice.

"Ah! Boss, you're already here!"

Alex looked at Ben and nodded, "Yeah, how was the restaurant?"

When Ben heard Alex ask, he immediately started getting excited.

"Boss, the restaurant has been doing well the whole day!"

"Did you know that we never ran out of customers the whole time?"

"Because of that, Boss Don and the other brothers are now very tired."

"But still, everyone is happy since they are now able to work without there being any risk of danger!"

When he was talking, there was this smile that can't be erased on Ben's face.

He can't hide his emotions from Alex.

Alex listened with a smile and nodded.

Just as he was about to speak, he was once again interrupted by the girl from the line,

"Excuse me, you're the owner of this restaurant?"
