Chapter 22: Throwing a bone


    Throwing a bone


    Everyone was shocked when they heard that Leo had already killed all the wolves inside the dungeon.


    “You took them all down? All by yourself? There must be dozens of wolves inside, yet you don’t look injured at all!” Kay said, sounding absolutely astonished as the rest of the adventurers looked shocked too.


    ” Captain, captain….. I think he might not be a normal Virex operative, he must be an elite operative” an adventurer whispered into the ears of a burly looking man who was almost as big as the vige chief.


    “As expected of the Virex corps, they absolutely live up to their reputation as the swords of the Emperor” another adventurer said as he looked at Leo with stars sparkling in his eyes.


    “Nothing much, just an honest day’s work. Don’t worry though, even though Ipleted this dungeon all by myself, you can receive the quest reward issued to your guild in full.


    Consider yourself to have been of assistance to me” Leo said, actingpletely like a bigshot which made everyone fawn over him even more.


    “HAHAHA, Sir soldier is such a kind man, he understands that money is important to us adventures.


    If sir ever needs to call upon the mountain warrior’s, I, Farim, will always take up any requests from you” Farim, who was the leader of the mountain warrior’s party said as Leo tapped on his shoulder before walking past him towards the dungeon exit. He was immediately followed by lots of yers, who had came alongside the mountain warrior’s group and were left dissatisfied about not getting a proper fight or reward.


    ” Sir….sir perhaps you need a disciple to pass down your awesome skills?”


    “Sir…. Sir, can you tell us how to join the Virex corps”


    ” Hey, you, soldier! Tell me about how this world works?”


    ” Hey, are you deaf or something? I’m talking to you-”


    The normal yers all mored around Leo, however, he paid them no heed.


    Some of the yers were polite, while the others were rude, however, Leo did not care.


    Just like how elephants walking in a jungle did not care for barking dogs, Leo paid no attention to the yers around him and kept walking calmly.


    [ System Notification – Are you sure you want to exit this dungeon? If you exit the dungeon now you will lose first explorer rewards ]


    Just as he was about to exit the dungeon, a system notification stopped him in his tracks as Leo stared at the screen dumbfounded.


    He had already killed all the wolves and hadpleted the quest assigned to him by the vige head and as far as he knew there were no more regions left to explore within the mine unless there was some hidden passage filled with monsters.


    ‘Tch, I’ve been ying this game for too long, I don’t want to continue exploring the dungeon anymore’ Leo thought as although it said that if he left the dungeon he would lose the first explorer benefits, he did not care as he had already made-up his mind to leave.


    However, seeing as how there was a crowd of yers around him, Leo decided to throw them a bone before he left as right at the exit, he paused for a while and turned to face the swarm of yers around him as he said


    “You all want to talk with me? Fine.


    I will entertain one request from anyone who clears this dungeon and brings me the clear rewards.


    I will continue to stay in Silverpine Vige for one more day….. if any of you have what it takes,e find me within the next 24 hours ”


    Saying those words, Leo left the dungeon leaving the first explorer rewards and the sea of yers behind as he slowly made his way through the snow back towards Silverpine Vige.


    As of now, he had no idea of what the other yers would do.


    Would they be able to clear the dungeon?


    Would they bring him the rewards if they did?


    Would they even considerpleting his request when it did not even prompt a quest notification?


    Leo knew none of this, yet what he did know for a fact was that once he reached the vige, the chief Brahim was going to give him a big fat reward that would see his level increase by +10.


    He also wanted to see if he could sell the wolf parts that he had collected to earn some extra money and then decide on where he wanted to spend the money that he had earnt.


    Most importantly, he now wished to log-out and talk with his brother before he started to freak out and also to start paying attention to the stuff that mattered in real life as well, such as his job and the role he would fulfill on the ship starting tomorrow.
