Chapter 82 Rich Rewards, Elisa's Invitation

"I really struck the jackpot this time!"

Alex exclaimed as he looked at the stuff that the Minotaur King dropped.

A total of four items came out of the Minotaur King.

A dozen gold coins, a blue crystal, an unknown monster egg, and a piece of golden paper.

Alex doesn't know what most of those items are.

However, Alex has a feeling that they are all incredible things just by instinct.

"I'm so curious now, I should use [Inspect] on it immediately!"

Just as Alex was about to use [Inspect], white light suddenly enveloped him, causing him to close his eyes.

The next second Alex disappeared on the tenth floor of the Trial Tower.

When Alex next opened his eyes, he was already at the entrance of the Trial Tower, in front of the stone monument.

After realizing that, Alex muttered, "It seems like people can't stay inside the Trial Tower for long after finishing it, huh."

Glancing at his inventory, Alex smiled and said, "Luckily, I already put all the item drops in my inventory."

"If I didn't, I'm probably gonna regret it."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Alex turned his eyes at the stone monument where the records of each challenger are written.

Curiously, Alex said, "Hmm, I wonder if my name is also in the list now."

Alex looked for a while before finally seeing his name.

When he did, Alex was pretty surprised that he wasn't able to react immediately.

After a few seconds, Alex muttered, "Is this for real?"

What made Alex so surprised is that his name was actually written at the very top of the stone monument.

What's more is that it was actually written in glittering gold color!

It was as if the Trial Tower itself was raising Alex at the top, praising him for his achievement.

"Woah, this is really... awesome!"

After realizing that it was real, a wide smile instantly appeared on Alex's.

Without a doubt, Alex is really happy with this unexpected surprise.

Originally, he was planning to use the Trial Tower to make himself known and slowly build up a reputation.

But now, with his name being at the top of the stone monument, it is inevitable that people will learn about him.

At this point in time, Alex is still oblivious to the fact that the Trial Tower has already announced to the world the things that he just did!

After looking at his name on the stone monument for the sake of vanity, Alex finally turned around and left the Trial Tower.

When he exited the tower, Alex was surprised to see that there's a lot of people there, just standing, looking at the entrance of the Trial Tower.

"Huh? Did another genius go to the tower or something?" Alex silently muttered.

As he left the tower, Alex immediately noticed that everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him.

"Hmm, they probably thought it was the genius coming out."

Then, Alex suddenly thought of his name being written at the very top of stone monument and silently thought,

'Well, technically it's not wrong.'

'After all, I can also be considered quite the genius now too!'

Immediately, Alex smiled and stood with confidence.

Walking out of the tower, Alex's face became indifferent while walking confidently.

Unaware of everything, Alex slowly left the Trial Tower.

Just as he left the tower's periphery, a notification window suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations, you completed the quest [Blah blah blah] perfectly!]

[Additional reward will be given for your achievement!]

[Rewards are being distributed.]

[Your stats have been multiplied by 5.]

[You received [Ring of Life]]

After the notifications died down, Alex excitedly opened his character panel.

…

Just like he expected, his stats have really gone through some earth shaking changes!

After his stats have been multiplied by 5, all of Alex's stats broke through thousands and settled at 2500!

This time, Alex wasn't able to hold back himself and started laughing loudly,

"Haha, I did it!"

Alex was ecstatic after seeing his stats that reached 2500.

By this time, his basic stats are already comparable to that of a Tier-3 or Tier-4 player.

Imagine, he only advanced to Tier-1 today but his stats are actually so high!

Just as Alex was feeling happy all over him, someone suddenly called him from among the crowd.

"Zero!"

Alex turned his head in the direction of the voice and saw someone unexpected.

"Oh, Miss Elisa, is there anything I can help you with?"

Elisa walked towards Alex, still with the indifferent look on her face and said, "Zero, can I invite you to coffee? I want to discuss something with you."

Alex tilted his head and confusedly asked, "Huh? I wonder what that is, Miss Elisa?"

With a serious expression, Elisa answered, "It's something about your advancement this time. If you don't mind, there's something that I'd like to ask you."

When Elisa said that, a thoughtful look appeared on Alex's face.

At the same time, a lot of people looked at Alex curiously while starting a discussion.

"Did I hear it right? Miss Elisa actually called that man Zero?"

"Yeah, I heard that too."

"Then, doesn't that mean there's a high chance that he was the one that went through the Trial Tower and completed it just now?"

"Bro… he looks so young!"

"Yeah, don't you think it's a good idea to build some friendship with him?"

"After all, just from his achievement at the Trial Tower, he will surely rise to the top someday."

"Ha, do you think that's possible? Look, are you comparable to genius Miss Elisa?"

…

All kinds of talks with Alex being the center of the topic appeared in the surrounding crowd.

Inevitably, Alex also heard their voice.

At first, he was confused, but after listening to some of them talk, he finally got a preliminary understanding of what just happened.

Immediately, Alex's face changed.

After thinking about it, he looked at Elisa and said, "I think it's a good idea."

"There's actually something that I want to talk about with you as well."

"So, if Miss Elisa doesn't mind, may I ask you to prepare a private place for us to chat?"
