84 The Progress of the Mission
“No, Great Prophet. Without you, our Elven race wouldn’t be able to live such a good life.
“The Tree of Life would be dead. We might be invaded and forced to leave our homes.
“All the beautiful lives we have now are because of your existence.”
The moment Zelda finished speaking, a notification from the system suddenly appeared before Su Ming.
[Congratulations, Zelda’s favorability toward you has increased to 90 points.]
[Current favorability level: Loyal]
[The Elves ‘group trust in you has increased ]
[Your ultimate quest: the rise of the Elves. Current progress: 10%]
[Progress reward: Elven King’s scepter]
When he heard the notification from the system space, Su Ming quirked his eyebrows slightly and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It had been a long time since he had heard about this so-called ultimate mission. He had even forgotten about it for a while.
And what was the scepter that apparently belonged to the Elven King?
Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not take it out to check. Instead, he decided to check it when he was alone.
“So, Great Prophet, all of us Elves should thank you for your arrival.”
Su Ming smiled and asked casually, “How do you want to thank me? A verbal thank you?”
Su Ming had originally said those words to deal with Zelda because he was afraid of an awkward silence.
But after Zelda heard this, she quickly said, “As long as the Great Prophet wants it, we can give you any gratitude you want!”
Su Ming quirked an eyebrow and looked at Zelda with a slightly amused expression. “What can you give me?”
If he had waited until the game world and the real world were connected, then Zelda’s words would have been able to move Su Ming.
After all, there were too many things in the game that could have unimaginable effects in real life.
But now, before the game world was connected to the real world, these NPCs could not give him anything worthwhile.
‘I would like something that would make me feel good.’
However, that was what Su Ming meant by his words.
However, after Zelda heard it, she misunderstood.
She was slightly surprised at first, then shyness flashed in her eyes. Her white hands clutched her skirt tightly, and her expression was nervous.
“If it’s the Great Prophet, I can do it.”
Zelda was wearing a long green dress for the banquet that day. After losing her usual decisiveness, she looked like a fairy in the long green dress.
At that moment, when she said those words so shyly, Su Ming was slightly taken aback. When he came to his senses, the expression on his face changed.
“Ahem, what I mean is that I don’t need anything now. I just want everyone in the tribe to live a better life.”
Su Ming was afraid that he would hurt Zelda’s pride, so he found an excuse to cover up the matter.
Zelda was stunned. After realizing that she had misunderstood, she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
“Great Prophet, Great Prophet, I’ll take my leave first!”
Zelda lifted her dress and left quickly.
Su Ming opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Looking around, it was already three o’clock in the morning, and the crowd attending the banquet had already dispersed.
Just now, he was only accompanied by Zelda. Otherwise, Zelda would not have said those words no matter how thick-skinned she was.
Once she left, there was no one by Su Ming’s side.
…
The next day.
Su Ming did not continue to let the Warriors in the Elf Valley relax.
Town expansion was a huge project. The swamp had just been conquered, so it would take some time to build and adjust.
The first step of the project was to fill up some of the sunken areas with soil.
Otherwise, it would be dangerous to even walk, let alone expand the town.
That was why the next morning, Su Ming had the tribe’s Warriors, who were already prepared, start moving the soil to fill up the depression.
And in the process, Su Ming also received a very interesting suggestion.
A few Elven Warriors came together to petition, wanting to build a statue for this Turtle in the center of the new town.
This was because in the process of town expansion, the individual contribution of the Turtle was the greatest.
Without it, it would have taken at least ten days to half a month to clear the swamp.
When Su Ming first heard this request, he thought it was a little ridiculous. However, after listening to their reasons carefully, he felt that it seemed to be quite reasonable.
That was why after Su Ming discussed it with the others for a while, they decided on this matter together.
Of course, this could only be done after the town was officially built.
After a few days of work, the depression in the swamp was finally almost fully filled.
After the terrain of the swamp was similar to that of the Elf Valley, the Dwarves officially began the construction of the town.
The construction and design of the new town had already been completed.
That was why Su Ming did not need to worry about this.
The materials needed to build a town could also be found in the resources owned by the major tribes.
That was why Su Ming was happy to be a shopkeeper who did nothing.
However, just as he was about to happily kill monsters to level up…
Chen Yixue suddenly appeared in front of him.
These days, Chen Yixue was also involved in the construction of the new town. Her job was to direct the transportation of materials.
Chen Yixue was not dissatisfied with this job.
She would be able to get enough mission rewards, and she would not have to deal with the Orcs and Barbarians.
Su Ming’s room.
“Great Prophet, I think it’s about time.”
When Su Ming heard her, he looked at her with a strange expression. He took a sip of the tea Zelda brought him and asked, “What do you mean by ‘about time’?”
Hearing this, Chen Yixue’s expression turned serious and she said, “You haven’t been to the Orc tribe these days, so you don’t know.”
“If Loner is allowed to stay in the Orc tribe, I’m afraid he will become the next leader of the Orc tribe.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
When Chen Yixue heard this, she hesitated and finally said, “You’d better go and take a look yourself. You’ll know once you see it.”
Su Ming cast a glance at Chen Yixue. When he saw that she did not seem to be joking, he immediately stood up.
“Then let’s go take a look.”
After that, Su Ming followed Chen Yixue to the portal.
After a period of darkness and swaying, Su Ming arrived in front of the Orc tribe.
