Chapter 40: Generous Reward, Certificate of Champion Trial 



After obtaining the new BUFF, Su Ming walked towards Aaron Town.



He intended to submit the quest to the village chief.



On the way, Su Ming received the first place prize for his contribution in the quest “Guarding Aaron Town”.



“Ding!”



“Congratulations on receiving rewards: 1000 gold coins, 5000 experience points, 10 free attribute points, [Certificate of Champion Trial].”



There were four rewards in total.



Except for gold coins, the last three items were good.



Su Ming casually added the 14 free attribute points he got from this battle to his Spirit.



Then he looked at the last item.



[Certificate of Champion Trial]



Quality: Special



Description: Entry ticket of the Temple of War Champion Trial event which is held once a year. It will start when the number of contestants becomes 10,000. Only the player who wins first place is eligible for the prize.



Current number of applicants: 8452/10000



“The Temple of War… As far as I remember, it seems to be located in the eastern city of the Holy Light Kingdom, [Leot City].”



Su Ming was very familiar with the champion trial.



Because this event was open to the entire world of [Origin]!



Only the first place in the competition was rewarded, and the quality of this reward was at least gold level and at the most mythical level.



Anyone who got a better ranking at the champion trial would become very popular.



Sometimes, even the major forces of other countries would offer you an olive branch.



“As soon as I finish the final quest in Aaron Town, I’ll go to [Leot City].”



Su Ming made a decision.



After that, he took out the silver equipment dropped by the Wrath of Hills.



It was a pair of long boots.



[Phantom Boots – Silver grade]



Part: Foot



Attributes: Defense +15, Strength +10, Agility +30, Spirit +11



Special effect: Movement speed +15%



Additional Skill: Phantom Clone: Leave a 10% HP substitute in place, move 10 meters away, and obtain 6 seconds of invisibility. Cooldown Time: 30 seconds. Consumes 150 MP.



Equipment requirements: level 10, general class



Substitute + displacement + invisibility!



A skill with three types of effects was also very useful.



It could be used to escape or deceive the enemy’s vision, and then launch a surprise attack from the dark.



Su Ming immediately put on the phantom boots and replaced the level 3 shoes.



His attributes immediately increased a little.



Apart from that, after his equipment, [Hills’ Robe of Glory], evolved to Gold rank, his attributes had greatly increased.



[Hill’s Robe of Glory – Gold]



Part: Body



Attributes: Defense +45, HP +550, Physique +30, Agility +15, Spirit +25



Special effect: Mental resistance +20%



Additional Skill: [Berserk Magic: After activating the skill, 200 MP will be consumed per second. Spell damage caused by spell ability will be increased by 20%, lasting up to 15 seconds. Cooldown Time: 25 seconds (Cooldown is calculated when the skill ends).]



Equipment requirements: Level 10, magic class



After its grade increased, all of its aspects had been improved considerably.



As he closed the equipment panel, Su Ming had arrived near the mayor’s house.



As a result, he met an unexpected person.



Priestess Elos.



She smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Cang Hai, thank you for saving Aaron Town again.”



“What’s she doing here?”



Su Ming walked over with some doubts. After greeting her, he asked, “Priestess Elos, are you here to see Mayor Buck?”



“Yes, there are some things that I need to inform the old mayor.” Elos nodded.



After thinking about it, Su Ming still asked her about the doubt in his heart: “How come I didn’t see Bishop Halman during the attack of [Wraith of Hills] this time?”



“The day after we assisted Guard Post 3 in fending off the demon attack, the Great Demon Lord suddenly stormed the seal of the Abyss Portal. Lord Bishop had to go to the Dark Ridge to reinforce the seal.”



Elos explained in a warm voice.



“So that’s what happened.”



Su Ming was surprised to find that things had changed again.



In his previous life, Bishop Halman had stayed in the Church.



The trajectory of the plot had changed!



“Which part of the plot has changed?”



As Su Ming thought carefully, suddenly he remembered something.



From the start of the game until now, the first time something different had happened was when he assisted the sentry soldiers in repelling the demon army’s attack.



It was also from that time that the trajectory of the game began to change.



“It turns out that I’m the one who caused all the changes.”



Su Ming felt a little helpless.



Based on this speculation, his suspicion that Bishop Halman was behind this was lowered a bit.



There were too few clues.



Su Ming was only familiar with the process of the first and second part of the mayor’s quest. The player from his previous life had not completed the third part.



He didn’t bother to think about it.



After saying goodbye to Elos, Su Ming came to the mayor’s house and submitted the quest.



“Adventurer, thank you for your contribution to Aaron Town! Here is your reward.”



The mayor gratefully took out a skill book and a lot of gold coins.



“Ding! Congratulations on completing the task [Demon Crisis (1)], and receiving rewards: 10,000 experience points, 4,000 gold coins, free attribute points +2, [Holy Light Blessing Skill Book – Silver grade]”



This skill book was a group assistance type support skill, so Su Ming did not learn it.



Assistance?



He would never assist someone in this lifetime.



He put the skill book into his inventory to use it as a material for synthesizing a new skill book later.



Immediately afterward, Su Ming took out the quest prop [Blood-stained ring].



“Mayor, do you know the owner of this ring?”



“Let me see…… West, isn’t this the name of Pharmacist Ron? Adventurer, you should go and find Ron. He might know the owner of this ring.”



The mayor took the ring, studied it for a while, and found a name engraved on it.



“Okay.”



Su Ming took back the ring and left the mayor’s house.



However, he did not look for Ron. Instead, he prepared to log off.



It was not too late today.



He opened the system and clicked the Exit button.



“Ding, you are exiting [Origin].”



His vision darkened, and in the next moment, he returned to the bedroom of his apartment.



Su Ming could clearly feel the powerful power contained within his body. As expected, the power he obtained in [Origin] was really synchronized to reality.



However, it was not fully synchronized. This power was only 50% of the power in the game.



If he wanted to increase his strength, he had to wait for the [Mystery Dungeon] to appear. That dungeon had an item called the [Stone of Origin] that could increase synchronization by 5%.



“Let’s get some rest now and then make some plans for the future development.”



Su Ming made up his mind.



Nowadays, all major news media were reporting about [Origin].



I believe that numerous players will be entering the game tomorrow.



It could be said that a new era is coming!
