The Village's Best Sword, The Village's Best Horse, The Village's Best Girl

After strengthening his skills and equipment, Su Yu's strength increased significantly!

Furthermore, the level 10 [Pet System] was unlocked, allowing him to have his first pet.

Unfortunately, there was no "pet incubation room" in the village; he would have to go to the main city to hatch the [Howling Moon Wolf Egg].

Looking at the remaining game time for the day, he had over two hours left.

"I'll use these two hours to solo the level 10 dungeon. If I get a 'Big Horn' from the dungeon, I can also advertise my guild."

Having made up his mind, Su Yu headed towards the Novice Village.

Of course, besides running dungeons, he had just completed the first part of the [Glory of the Broom Empire] quest.

He would turn in the quest after returning to the village, then go run dungeons.

Nolan Village entrance square.

"Hello, Village Chief! I'm here to turn in a quest." Su Yu pushed through the crowded square to find the elder village chief.

As soon as he spoke, all the players in the square instantly vanished. The lively square became silent, leaving only NPCs and Su Yu nearby.

Su Yu was already accustomed to this situation.

This happened when entering an independent dimension for a special mission, which prevented other players from being seen.

Many hidden quests, main storylines, and scenario battles would feature such circumstances.

"It's you, young adventurer." The village chief was overjoyed, his white beard twitching. "Did you get the [Howling Moon Wolf Leader's Head]?"

"Better than that, I got the Wolf King's head." Su Yu didn't waste time and directly presented the Wolf King's head to the village chief.

"Wow!" The village chief was startled and extremely excited.

As he gently stroked the Wolf King's furry large head, his hands trembled. "It really is the Wolf King's head! Adventurer, you did a fantastic job! You're the most skilled adventurer I've ever seen, I'm sure of it!"

"What about the reward?" Su Yu rubbed his fingers together.

"Hey, look at my memory!" The village chief patted his head and took Su Yu's hand. "Come on, come home with me. My house is quite large."

"What are you doing?" Su Yu was wary.

"The reward is at my house, so come home with me to get it. You don't expect me to conjure a horse out of thin air, do you?"

"Then what did you mean by your house being quite large?"

"My house is very big. I can have the Wolf King's head made into a trophy and hang it in my house." The village chief caressed the Wolf King's head, his eyes burning with desire.

"From now on, I can say that I killed this wolf! Village Chief, even though I'm old, I'm still as sharp as ever, hehe! Perhaps Old William's widow, Jenny, will look at me differently because of this! Then we could..."

Su Yu: "..."

He hadn't expected the village chief to want the Wolf King's head for such a purpose.

However, since the quest was turned in, he figured the village chief could do whatever he wanted with it.

They arrived at the village chief's house.

The village chief rummaged through the storage room for a long time before finding a rusty longsword.

"Brave adventurer, as your reward for assisting me in killing the Wolf King, I'm specially giving you this sword! This is the best sword in our entire village!"

Su Yu's mouth twitched.

The sword the village chief held was not only extremely worn but also covered in rust. This was supposed to be the "village's best sword"?

However, he didn't say anything and reached out to take the longsword.

But the moment he grasped the hilt, the sword's blade suddenly broke off from the hilt!

Clang!

The blade separated from the hilt and fell onto the stone floor.

Su Yu, holding the empty hilt with no blade, looked stunned.

"Sorry, adventurer. I've kept this sword for too long and forgot to glue it back together."

The village chief said "sorry," but showed no embarrassment on his face.

He took the hilt back from Su Yu, then went into the inner room to find a bottle of glue and reattached the blade to the hilt.

Afterward, he handed the glued sword and the glue to Su Yu, boasting, "Adventurer, don't underestimate this sword. This was the sword I used when I went undefeated for ten years!"

Su Yu: "..."

Su Yu no longer knew what adjective to use to describe his current feelings.

Was the village chief trying to fob him off with a piece of junk?

If this was truly junk, he'd find a way to lure the next Wolf King to slaughter Novice Village Six.

Su Yu checked the sword's properties.

[Village's Best Sword (Consumable)]

Remaining Uses: 10

How to Use: Point this sword at your target and shout "Draw your sword!"

Effect: The blade breaks and falls to the ground. If the target's level is no higher than yours by 10, they will enter the [Astonishment] state for 3 seconds.

[Astonishment]: Cannot move or attack. Taking damage will automatically cancel this state.

Note: After using it, don't forget to glue the broken blade back on!

"The stats are actually quite good," Su Yu said, somewhat surprised.

The sword's appearance couldn't be uglier, but its stats were surprisingly good.

No, it could be called a very powerful consumable.

Three seconds of stable control, and it could even affect multiple targets. It would be very effective for quests or dealing with bosses!

But then again, it was a reward from the Main Storyline, so it definitely wouldn't be bad.

Seeing Su Yu's satisfied expression, the village chief took his hand. "Come! Let's go to the stables to see your second reward!"

"Wait, this horse won't be special too, will it?"

Having experienced the "Village's Best Sword," Su Yu suspected that the "Village's Best Horse" might not be a normal horse either.

"You'll know when we get to the stables!" The village chief, without further explanation, pulled Su Yu out of the house.

Two minutes later.

"Village Chief, this is a mare!" Su Yu looked at the small red mare the village chief had assigned to him, speechless.

Having gone through the "Village's Best Sword" incident, Su Yu had already realized that the "Village's Best Horse" might be unusual.

But he had never expected the village chief to give him a mare.

Besides the little mare, there were several other tall and majestic stallions in the stable. By all accounts, the little mare couldn't be called the "Village's Best."

"What's wrong with a mare? Are you discriminating against females? If you say that again, I'm going to start fighting!"

The village chief rolled up his sleeves, looking aggressive.

"No, I just meant that the leader of a herd is usually a stallion, right? And besides, which of those horses next to it is worse than this one?"

Su Yu pointed at the tall stallions beside them.

"Uh, actually, it's like this."

The village chief's tone changed, and he reached out to groom the little mare's mane. "Actually, the reward for your quest to kill the Wolf King wasn't originally the 'Village's Best Sword' and the 'Village's Best Horse.' If you had triggered this quest earlier, the quest reward would have been the 'Village's Best Sword' and the 'Village's Best Girl.'"

"Girl?!"

"That's right."

"Then where is the girl?"

Su Yu stared at the little mare.

Could it be that this little mare was the "Village's Best Girl" transformed? What kind of fairy tale development was this?

The village chief seemed to read Su Yu's mind and waved his hand. "What are you thinking? This is truly a mare, not a transformed person. The 'Village's Best Girl' I mentioned, you might not know her. Her name is Tina."

"Tina?"

"Yes, Tina is the kindest girl in our village," the village chief said, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. "She recently passed her talent test and has already taken a carriage to Oran City to become a Unicorn Knight."

"This little mare was her most frequently ridden mount. Because Tina left, the little mare lost its appetite and grew thinner day by day."

"Young adventurer, would you be willing to take this little mare to Oran City and hand it over to Tina yourself?"
