First Reward

When Liu Yang exited through the dungeon portal, he was seen by the policeman who was sent to follow him and other adventurers around because it was a bit rare for a policeman to accompany a solo adventurer inside the dungeon, but he left soon after because of something.

Liu Yang didn't mind the stares and walked over to the jewelry store described in the quest request.

The store was not far from the main square and had many customers because of the prime location.

Many poor adventurers sell the jewel to the jewelry store to get some money.

The queue wasn't very long, but it took a while for his turn to arrive.

…

Upon entering the store, Liu Yang marveled at the interior because it was totally different from the things he had seen before.

In the village where he lived for sixteen years, he had never seen such a scene before.

Illuminated halls filled with several dozen people, lots of glittering jewels on display everywhere. In some windows, there were shiny accessories made of precious metals with jewels.

The sales desk was separated by customer types. One side was for adventurers to sell the gems found in the dungeons and the other side was for customers to buy the final products that use the gems.

"Hello, what jewel would you like to sell to us?" A young man dressed in business clothes greeted Liu Yang.

"I would like to sell these jewels." Liu Yang placed ten jewels on the table along with the mission record.

"I see… Sir, I will check on them. Wait a minute." The young man took a flashlight with a kind of screen on the side to analyze each of the jewels.

This was standard procedure to prevent the store from buying fake jewelry.

The method was quick and easy.

When the flashlight is turned on and pointed at one of the jewels, some information is shown on the screen. If what is shown is within the standards, the jewel is real.

"Sir, the jewels are genuine, but the purity of these here is greater than ordinary ones. So they will be a little more expensive. I'll calculate the price, just wait a bit." The young man pressed some buttons on the computer and checked the information according to the purity of the jewelry.

"..." Liu Yang just watched the young man do his work.

"Sir, the value of each of these jewels is three hundred Credits. In total, the value is three thousand Credits."

Credit was the name of the currency used in the world today. All countries in the world use the same currency, but in some locations, there are currencies specific to those locations.

The value caught the attention of adventurers behind Liu Yang because the value was slightly higher than usual. A solo adventurer wouldn't have many of these crystals because they were rare unless they were picked up in the harder modes.

From the ordinary appearance and nothing special about Liu Yang's clothes or equipment, they thought he was a powerful adventurer going to the easiest dungeons, but the hardest ways to achieve it.

This kind of scene was very common.

A level 30 adventurer tries to explore dungeons level 10

"All right. I accepted the exchange" Liu Yang only vaguely knew about the value because some adventurers commented in the queue.

"How would you like to receive the Credits? Do you have any cards or do you prefer to receive items? Or do you want a temporary card?"

In today's world, there is no more paper money as in the past, now everything is transferred from special cards created by financial institutions or governments around the world.

"I would like a temporary card" Liu Yang knew what these things were because his father and mother had one of these cards.

The young man took a card from a sealed envelope and flashed it through a machine before handing it to Liu Yang.

"Sir, inside this card is a total of three thousand Credits to be used until the next month"

The temporary cards were different from the permanent cards created by banks and other organizations. These cards are only meant to hold money for some time before expiring.

If the user does not spend the money ahead of time, the Credits inside the card will be invalid.

"Thank you"

"Thank you for doing business with us"

…

Liu Yang went to a bank to create a bank account so he could put the Credits on a real card to prevent them from expiring.

After that, he bought some food and rented a room in a cheap lodge for adventurers.

"That was a little tiring… Little Fairy, you can go out"

"akdasjdasjk" Little Fairy made sounds of joy to see the world outside again. She was usually bored of being inside the cage.

"You can eat" Liu Yang bought all kinds of things to eat.

"ajkdajdksjdka" She just sat at the table and ate whatever she saw. But a somewhat strange scene could be seen.

The little creature ate not only using its mouth but also through the mouth that was in the mushroom hat like the Devouring Mushroom from before.

The tongue sticking out of the hat licked the sides as if satisfied.
