A Kept Man Should Also Be Confident!

The battle at the Snowy Mountain Pass came to an end with the defeat of the orc clans.

Xu Nan truly shone in this battle.

His famous quote, "Because he didn't give me a second chance," has become a well-known saying on the Lyles Plain.

His fame and popularity are soaring.

Of course, what people really want to know is how Xu Nan managed to get the beastmen to willingly wear green hats (a euphemism for being cuckolded).

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and soon, various versions of the news spread among the mercenaries in Snowfield City.

In no time, [Wise Star Song Cheng] became famous and became a figure on par with [Heartless Li GouDan].

Compared to Xu Nan, the Multi-Faceted Woman Jun Qi, who tirelessly followed behind him, had a lower reputation. However, many people were still interested in this strange duo of male and female thieves.

[Your reputation +1 (Lyles Plain, Fierce Horse Inn, Snowfield City...)]

Xu Nan had no feelings about this.

Reputation is a double-edged sword. While many people are currently praising Cheng Song's wit and cleverness in defeating the Frost Winter Clan orcs, most are just following the crowd. There are probably quite a few people who are envious of his achievements!

Moreover, if news of "Cheng Song" personally slaughtering a large number of the Frost Winter Clan orcs spread, it would undoubtedly trigger strong reactions of both good and evil among the orc communities of the Pro World.

There's no way around it, Song Cheng has to take the blame for this.

The son should pay for the father's debts!

The only good thing about this matter is what kind of expression the people of the Xu Nan Lyles Plain will show when they discover that the Yu Tuo Sang City Lord Li GouDan, whom they hate, is the same person as the Wise Star Song Cheng they are now boasting about.

Xu Nan sat in the carriage, the cold snowflakes pattering against the door, the wheels making almost no sound as they rolled on the snow.

This is the third battle since the Battle of the Snowy Mountain Pass.

Xu Nan followed the grain transport convoy to Snowfield City.

In fact, after completing the battle at the Snowy Mountain Pass, Xu Nan was planning to leave. After all, the Organizing Committee had informed him that the battle was over and that Melinda should reward him with the position of sergeant major, based on his performance on the battlefield. In fact, there would be room for more.

Xu Nan didn't forget that she still had a group of students eagerly awaiting their return at Five Yang Lake!

Just as he was preparing his excuses to slip away, Melinda suddenly approached Xu Nan and sincerely invited him to visit North Snowfield City.

He was there as a guest, but actually wanted to hire Xu Nan for a while longer, since his skills on the battlefield were indeed amazing.

The Initiate Sorcerer with Awakening Power is essentially a UG!

Xu Nan didn't understand at first, but it wasn't until evening, when he saw the grain convoy slowly appearing from the grain route of the Eastern Kingdom, that he finally figured it out.

It turns out that the humans from the Eastern Kingdom had taken advantage of the time difference and sent the grain convoy over ahead of schedule.

They originally intended for the three knights to lead their troops to hold off the orcs on the supply route, while they themselves would travel along the main road, crossing the snow-capped mountains directly to Snowfield City. However, they did not expect the Snowfield City army to be so fierce, wiping out the orcs completely. Therefore, the caravan set off ahead of schedule.

The food supplies for this caravan are crucial; they determine whether Icewind Territory can barely survive the harsh winter.

The person Caesar sent, Sister Song, was actually there to escort this batch of grain.

Just Xu Nan was about to refuse, the Organizing Committee surprisingly suggested that Xu Nan could choose to continue the battle.

[Mission Name: Phantom of the Snowy Mountain (Type-A Campaign) (Follow-up Event to the Battle of the Snowy Mountain Pass)]

[Mission Note: As a continuation event of the campaign, successful completion of this mission will earn a higher campaign score. Rewards will be the same during this mission and in campaign mode.]

[Mission Description: The commander of Snowfield City wants you to escort their supply convoy safely to its destination. The Snowy Mountain Pass is a five-mile journey from Snowfield City. Although the orcs have been defeated, many shadows still loom over this seemingly smooth supply route...]

As a follow-up to the campaign mode, the mission rewards are basically the same as the campaign process. Since there are no special requirements, if Xu Nan completes this mission perfectly, it will probably enhance the overall campaign score.

After careful consideration, he finally decided to take on the task.

The reason isn't complicated; he's already tasted the sweetness of the campaign mode. Leaving aside the miscellaneous achievements, the campaign chests are truly priceless!

After completing the "Snowfield Horror Story" and "Dawn Battle", Xu Nan's merit points reached a certain level, unlocking the Silver Battle Chest and the Gold Battle Chest!

The Silver Treasure Chest contained 300,000 Constant Gold Coin and a War Compendium.

[War Compendium (Deluxe Edition)]

[Description: Record your performance in every battle, review it at any time, identify areas for improvement, and enhance your skills.]

[Tip: There's a surprise on the last page!]

Xu Nan was quite satisfied with the War Compendium. Currently, the War Compendium only recorded one war, which was the battle in which Xu Nan accompanied Melinda to defeat the Frost Winter Clan, and was named by the system as the "Battle of Dawn".

By reviewing the course of the campaign, he felt as if he were watching a third-person movie, observing his own performance in all aspects of the campaign and reflecting on many things.

"I missed a spot... Ugh, another 500 merit points gone!" someone lamented.

"Damn! Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise this ogre would have raided our back door..." someone said, still shaken.

"Hmm, that was a pretty good show-off. I'd give myself a score... barely passing." The person said modestly.

Debriefing is always meaningful in any game.

As for the last page of the War Compendium, well, Xu Nan had just opened it when he heard strange groans and saw erotic images, so he immediately turned it off!

According to the notes, during the long war, soldiers were prone to excessive mental stress, and the movies stored on the last page were for relieving fatigue... To this, Xu Nan could only silently give a thumbs up.

It's probably because the productivity level in this other world isn't high, otherwise these Ron Sorcerer might already be selling pornographic DVDs everywhere.

"I've been through the baptism of teachers from some island where the earth has sunk, after all. You think this level of visuals can help relieve my fatigue? Haha, no way, I won't watch it."

Xu Nan made a firm promise.

However, strange noises could be heard coming from Xu Nan's private carriage along the way.

Don't get me wrong, Qin Lele must have been secretly watching Xu Nan while he was dozing off.

"Achoo!" Qin Lele, wrapped in a bright red cotton-padded coat, was woken up by the cold and sniffled in confusion. "Xu Nan? Have you been talking about me behind my back?"

Xu Nan, her face slightly flushed, put away the War Compendium and raised both hands. "No, I'm typing with both hands to prove my innocence!"

Qin Lele shrank back, tugged at her padded jacket and blanket, and mumbled in a nasal voice:

"It's so cold, I'm going to sleep a little longer. Xu Nan, why didn't you bring a down jacket and air conditioning?"

Xu Nan looked at Qin Lele's face, red from the cold, with a hint of pity. There was no way around it; the road to Snowfield City was too cold, and Qin Lele had caught a cold.

However, while she was sleeping, she somehow kicked off a corner of the blanket, and Xu Nan could even crawl inside!

This child is clearly so afraid of the cold, yet he still kicks off the blankets while sleeping?

Xu Nan looked at Qin Lele's fair neck, a strange expression appearing on his face:

"Since you're sleeping so soundly... then..."

"Then this blanket is mine!"

The Golden Battle Chests give out even more! 500,000 Constant Gold Coin, some rare materials, and a god-tier item called the [Bloodline Awakening Visualization Plugin]!

Xu Nan investigated and discovered that this was a cheat plugin for the [Ron Sorcerer Growth Guide System]!

"Is this system a knock-off? The visualization of bloodline awakening level even requires a plugin to run!"

Xu Nan angrily chose to insert the plugin into the system.

The system hasn't changed much; the only difference is that there's an additional upgrade indicator in the Ron Sorcerer section!

[Ron Sorcerer lv5]

[Upgrade Requirements: 5 remaining embarrassing events]

The meaning is simple: Xu Nan needs to do five more naughty things to level up!

Xu Nan pondered that, probably due to budget constraints, Lost Paradise initially provided everyone with a low-spec version of the system, even the bloodline awakening process was vague. Only the true elites could obtain various patches and plugins, provided they passed Six-Nine Plan.

Don't be fooled by the system optimizations offered by the visualization plugin.

The most frustrating thing about the warlock class is the uncertainty of their leveling progress, which really dampened Xu Nan's motivation. Now that he can clearly see his leveling status, his motivation for doing those humiliating quests is naturally much higher!

"I wonder if voluntarily doing something shameful will escalate the situation?"

He even started to think critically and apply what he learned to other situations.

He glanced at his merit points. The platinum treasure chest required merit points to unlock, and he could try to reach that goal with some effort. The diamond treasure chest required 50,000 merit points, and unless Xu Nan could chop off the head of the mastermind behind this battle, he shouldn't even think about it.

The convoy moved forward slowly.

Before long, as darkness fell, more than thirty horse-drawn carriages, led by a guide, pulled into a sheltered hollow, and the soldiers began to set up a temporary camp.

Only at this time does the team regain some energy.

After all, most of the mercenaries on the Lyles Plain had been disbanded. Except for exceptional individuals like Xu Nan who were retained, the rest remained in the military camp at the Snowy Mountain Pass.

Xu Nan disembarked from the carriage. As a spellcaster, he was granted a separate tent.

Because it was a unified military operation, and to prevent potential mages from detecting magical activity, Xu Nan couldn't just open a luxurious villa in Leomund without authorization.

He carried the sleeping Qin Lele back to the tent, and then prepared to talk to Melinda about something.

But as he passed by the military camp, he overheard some soldiers whispering among themselves:

"Is your city really as powerful as they claim? I bet it's all about nepotism."

"Yes, I heard that he and Lady Melinda have an ambiguous relationship."

"No, I heard that his ambiguous relationship is with Lord Song Ying."

Well, there are always gossipy people everywhere, which shows that people from other worlds aren't that different from people on Earth.

Xu Nan was about to laugh it off, but things weren't that simple. The character cards refreshed in a flash!

[Ron Sorcerer Daily Bloodline Awakening Quest]

[Task Title: A Kept Man Should Also Be Confident!! ]

[Mission Description: The long supply route and the bitter cold have exhausted these southern soldiers, both physically and mentally. They need some gossip to lift their spirits! Having prepared to sacrifice everything for this battle, you're naturally ready to take on this task! The higher the status of the woman in the journey and the convoy, the more blatantly you'll maintain a relationship with her—the richer the rewards!]

[Mission Rewards: 30+ Shame Points; Infrared Vision (Special Ability/ Dark Elf)]

"Maintaining an open and aboveboard relationship with the highest-ranking women in the team?"

Xu Nan was shocked. When did the system's text become so information-rich? It was quite difficult for him to decipher it.

He thought about it carefully. It seemed that the leader of this caravan was a nobleman from the south? And he seemed to be a man?

Next up are Song Ying and Melinda.

To be honest, Xu Nan really couldn't accept what Sister Song Ying said, after all, he was still bearing the name of Cheng Song.

"If all else fails, Melinda..."

Xu Nan accepted the task anyway, since this should be considered one of the embarrassing incidents. After completing this, he only needed to do it four more times to level up!

Having accepted the task, Xu Nan began to ponder the question of how to "openly and legitimately live off a woman."

In one corner of the convoy, a fair-skinned face peered out of a window.

"Your Princess, why are you doing this?"

A hoarse voice rang out.

The Fourth Princess clearly ignored her, watching Xu Nan's retreating figure with amusement:

"He's the Wise Star everyone talks about, Cheng Song?"

...!
