Glory of Lone Star City

"So, you've also fulfilled the Legion's requirements, right?"

Upon arriving at the Lone Star City encampment, the three were greeted by a tall warrior clad in chainmail.

Though he appeared somewhat young, the warrior maintained a serious expression, attempting to project an air of authority.

"Yes, here is our mission record..."

As the squad leader, Xuan Sheng produced the combat log automatically generated upon mission completion and handed it to the warrior.

"Hmm... you actually killed so many Kobolds... Excellent, your contributions to Lone Star City will not be forgotten."

After reviewing the list of merits, the warrior nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Since you explored the fortress so thoroughly, did you discover their purpose for being here?"

At this point, a hint of embarrassment flickered across the stern warrior's face.

Previously, another man had come to submit a Legion Mission, claiming to have obtained an important piece of intelligence.

As it turned out... after the quartermaster, who was skilled in Kobold script, deciphered the contents, it was revealed to be nothing more than a vulgar love letter.

Although it did mention that the Kobolds were gathering to excavate something underground, the specific details were lost.

"So, what did you obtain..."

If it wasn't anything important, then perhaps it was best to let it go.

The thought of the quartermaster's ashen face sent a cold sweat down the warrior's back...

Right, it's best not to bother her if it's nothing important...

"Here, this was found on a Kobold Squad Leader."

Taking out the diary from his system backpack, Yi Qing, who was completely unaware of its contents, was also unsure of what this item was.

However, since Xuan Sheng hadn't said anything, this item should be fine.

"Oh... a book... Hmm?"

The warrior, who had a rudimentary understanding of Kobold script, quickly realized it was a diary. His eyes widened slightly, and his expression grew excited.

"Captain Song! We have new information here!"

"Right, please wait a moment. We need to decipher this intelligence before calculating and issuing the War Merits."

In his excitement, the warrior didn't forget to turn back and inform the others.

"Deciphering again? It couldn't possibly be another one of those disgusting, vulgar love letters, could it?"

A spirited woman, known as Captain Song, emerged from the camp. Dressed in a pristine white military uniform, she exuded a sharp and capable aura, a stark contrast to the warrior beside her...

[Name: Song Qing]
[Occupation: Lone Star City Garrison Decipher Officer]
[Information: Possesses extensive knowledge of various racial information and cultures. She is currently angered by the previous disgusting letter and should not be provoked while she is upset.]

"No, Sister Song, this time it's a diary..."

Carefully handing the book to the woman, the warrior showed an unexpected level of reverence towards her.

"A diary? Let me see..."

As the woman flipped through the diary's contents, her furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"Good, this is a very valuable record... Let's award three hundred War Merits. You're in charge of the rewards; I need to report the contents of this diary."

Putting the diary away, the female officer spoke a few brief words before departing hastily, leaving the original warrior wiping the cold sweat from his forehead...

"Is she that scary?"

The young man observing the scene couldn't suppress his curiosity and quietly asked the warrior.

In his opinion, the officer was sharp and capable, and should have been easy to get along with.

"Captain Song has a good personality... it's just... she likes to lecture and criticize... Ah, I shouldn't be telling you this. In any case, your War Merits will be issued now. You can redeem various rewards at the Quartermaster's Exchange later."

As if afraid of being overheard discussing her behind her back, the young warrior became guarded and unwilling to elaborate.

"Let me see... Oh, you two have over a thousand War Merits? That's truly remarkable."

After Yi Qing received her reward of three hundred War Merits, she was only short of Xuan Sheng's 1290 by sixty, placing her second in the team.

"A thousand War Merits... With that amount, you could already exchange for Azure Inheritance grade equipment. However, if your levels aren't high enough, I suggest you wait to redeem them later."

As the warrior spoke, he displayed the list of items available at the Quartermaster's Exchange to everyone.

Currently, the most eye-catching item among those the group could redeem was--

[Hel's Promise]
[Description: Hel is a master blacksmith capable of forging equipment up to Azure Inheritance quality. By redeeming this reward, you can request Hel to custom-make an Azure grade equipment for you.]
[Requirement: One thousand War Merits]

"Oh, right, you cleared out that entire Kobold Fortress, didn't you? In that case, the warrior with the highest merits can receive an additional reward."

The young warrior rummaged in his pocket and handed Li Xunsheng a gray badge.

[Glory of Lone Star City]
[Badge (Maximum of three can be equipped)]
[Rarity: Azure Inheritance grade]
[Effect: Increases the wearer's highest attribute by 20%]
[No equipment requirement, no durability]

The badge depicted the front of Lone Star City, but this now bright and beautiful scene was, on the badge, replaced by the battlefields where warriors once fought bloody battles.

Bodies littered the ground, blood flowed everywhere...

The style of iron-bloodedness and tragic heroism was rooted in this badge, shaking the hearts of all who gazed upon it...

"This is proof of the Lone Star warriors' bloody battles, it is both a medal and a symbol of a true soldier."

Before this medal, the warrior, who had shown some timidity and immaturity, became solemn, his eyes full of respect.

"Wearing this medal will also earn you the respect of all the warriors of Lone Star City, but please note, do not do anything that disgraces this medal."

"Of course."

Increases maximum attribute values by 20%.

It doesn't consume the equipment slot of ordinary gear, but exists solely as a medal. Receiving such a good item was indeed an unexpected joy.

Seeing that Li Xunsheng had properly put away the medal, the warrior smiled with relief.

"Then, if you need anything else, you are welcome to come to the Lone Star City military camp again. We have other missions to earn War Merits, so we look forward to seeing you all again..."

"Creak..."

Skillfully picking the lock and entering the room, Li Xunsheng, who didn't deliberately hide his footsteps, was quickly discovered by the woman inside.

"You're back?"

In the dim light, Mo Rui, dressed in a thin gauze dress, sat in a seat that originally belonged to a customer, her eyes glowing with a faint purple light.

Her alluring figure and languid expression, if Li Xunsheng didn't know that this woman was a Succubus, he might have praised her as a 'vixen'...

"What mission did you do today? My master~"

A seductive and soft tone sounded, the Succubus batted her eyelashes, bringing her charm into full play.

Unfortunately, Li Xunsheng, who knew this creature's true nature, was not falling for it!

"Don't get too familiar, we're not close. It's so dark, why don't you turn on the light?"

Xuan Sheng, walking into the shop, didn't hesitate to flick on the main light, illuminating the entire small shop, which was previously dim, as bright as day!

The ambiguous and seductive atmosphere in the shop was completely destroyed. The young man, finally feeling comfortable, walked to Mo Rui's side and pouted.

"Move over, this is my seat!"
