Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Extra Benefits
Shye stared at the ground, seemingly deep in thought.

After a lengthy and detailed discussion with the city lord, Shye indeed could see the perks of accepting the position of a temporary regional champion.

However, the associated responsibilities were also somewhat burdensome, particularly for a free-spirited individual like him, who was rather accustomed to doing whatever he wanted to reach his full potential.

‘Hmm… 2,000 gold coins plus two units each of strength, intelligence, agility, dexterity, stamina, and vitality instantaneous enhancement pills per month, along with a medium-sized house and lot in the suburbs of Valenzia City, huh?’

It was an incredible deal that anyone prone to acting impulsively would accept without hesitation.

Well, Shye was not that kind of person, though. Not anymore.

Although the house and lot would save him a significant amount of money and prepare him for Shirley’s arrival in Valenzia, he couldn’t immediately agree to the terms, especially since they required him to have a jam-packed schedule.

First, he would be required to complete mandatory quests every three months and report his progress to the WAA’s main branch in Yonpo City, Yon Augenn Region.

This requirement alone was already enough for Shye to turn down the offer as the system’s mandatory quest would always have to be his priority.

Still, he was a division leader now, and the salary of a whopping 2,000 gold coins per month was hard to turn down, not to mention the instantaneous enhancement pills that he was utterly curious about.

…In addition to the first task, he would also need to clear two mana dungeons of (B-) rank or higher in the Valenzia Region each year.

Lastly, if champions from another region found themselves in dire straits, he could not refuse a direct request for assistance from the WAA should they specifically ask for him.

‘Sigh…’

Shye was caught in a dilemma.

‘Oh? But wait, didn’t the system offer a side quest reward for accepting the champion position? What would happen if I refused it then?’ He pondered, suddenly having an epiphany. ‘Hmm? If the system has such a side quest, does that mean becoming a champion will be of help to the old man’s main goal?’

He didn’t know what his final goal would be.

However, if the system wanted him to be a champion, then despite it resulting in him being extremely busy for the next few years, Shye would naturally accept.

Who knows? It might turn into an advantage for his upcoming mandatory quest from the system.

‘Yeah, there’s no need to hesitate. If the old man believes it would help, then it probably would.’

Despite the growing challenge of the mandatory quests, Shye sensed that the old man’s primary focus was on achieving his goal.

While Shye’s safety seemed secondary, the old man ensured that the rewards would always provide him with the means to protect himself, even in the most critical situations.

Hence, Shye still somewhat trusted the old man despite the system’s illogical upgrade tribulations.

Meanwhile, Blas observed the subtle changes in Shye’s facial expression, hoping that he would agree to take on the position.

“Lord Blas. I have a question.”

“Speak.”

“Traveling to other regions will consume a significant amount of time, and considering I have to report to the WAA’s main headquarters every three months, I was wondering if I could utilize that special-grade teleporter that isn’t accessible to the public in the city square?”

Hearing Shye’s words, Blas couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘This brat…dares request for more?’

Special-grade teleporters, unlike standard ones, can transport someone directly to another city or an adventurer zone’s lobby, regardless of whether the destination has a teleporter or not.

This is accomplished by creating a temporary teleportation magic circle at the destination using the power of seven precious mana cores extracted from (C) ranked or higher monstrous creatures.

Naturally, such activation requirements cost at least 40 gold coins per usage.

A rather cheap amount for someone like him but exorbitant for regular adventurers and common folks.

Additionally, one could buy a recall scroll from the operator of the special-grade teleporter, priced at fifty gold coins each.

The recall scroll would allow him to return to the special-grade teleporter in Valenzia City in mere minutes, saving him weeks, possibly months of travel.

Still, before one could purchase and utilize such luxuries, one must have a Valenzia Special-grade teleporter pass.

Otherwise, even if one had the money, one would still have to travel using regular teleporters with fixed destinations.

“So, are you saying you will accept if I throw in a Valenzia special-grade teleporter pass?”

“Hehe, yes, Lord Blas. If I could have the privilege to use the teleporter… then, ahh, yes! I would be able to serve the region better!” Shye exclaimed with an awkward smile, placing a reassuring hand on his chest.

He knew Blas wasn’t stupid, and that the city lord probably already knew that he only wanted to arrive at his destination and return faster.

Hence, betting on nothing but his judgment, Shye dared request something from the person with the highest authority in the entire region.

“…”

After a few seconds of awkward-for-Shye silence, the city lord finally spoke.

“Fine. Here.”

Retrieving the pass Shye needed from his desk’s drawer, Blas handed it to Shye, whose eyes gleamed with excitement.

He resembled a child who was promised an exciting trip.

‘Haha, Soaring Raven didn’t lie, this kid was truly amusing.’ Blas chuckled inwardly.

He had never encountered a young adult in their early twenties who still had the audacity to negotiate additional benefits for themselves, even when facing him, Valenzia’s highest authority.

“Thank you, Lord Blas! I shall make use of this pass to better serve the region as its temporary champion!”

“Good, I expect great things from you, Shye Crowley. Come back here in three days’ time; I will organize a champion inauguration for you, which will be broadcast live across the entire region. Dress formally, understood?”

“Yes, Lord Blas!”

“Good, you’re dismissed for now.”
