To be honest, no one knew how they confirmed whether Mike was lying or not, but that was not important.
Mike arrived at the palace unimpeded, and the king was sitting on the throne and seemed to be discussing something with the ministers beside him.
Seeing Mike enter the palace, the king immediately stopped his conversation with the ministers, looked at Mike and asked,
“Oh? Isn’t this the heroic God Slayer?
“What are you here for?”
Mike smiled and took out the bounty.
“I’ve completed the mission to clear the locust monsters. I’m here to receive the reward.”
Hearing this, everyone in the palace was shocked.
Many NPCs even started to discuss in low voices.
“What? He actually completed that mission? This is unbelievable.”
“Oh my god, as expected of Lord God Slayer.”
“He is simply the hero of the City of light!”
Although their voices were not loud, they had no intention of hiding it from Mike. They controlled their volume so that they would look composed. All of them looked at Mike.
The king, who was sitting on the throne, excitedly asked another question,
“Are you sure it’s the Wheat Field Guardian mission?”
“Yes, I’m sure.” Mike maintained his smile.
“Good!” The king excitedly patted the armrest of the throne and could not help but say, “The mutated locust monster has troubled the City of Light for so long. Finally, someone eliminated them!”
At this point, as if the king had realized that he had forgotten the important matter, he quickly said,
“God Slayer, you are here to receive the reward, right? Look at me, I’ve already forgotten about it.
“Men, go and bring the second-hand mastery skill book from the treasury and give it to God Slayer!
“He is the hero of our City of Light!”
[Human Affinity + 100.]
Mike suddenly received such a system notification, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
It was not easy to increase the relationship between a certain race, a major contribution had to be completed.
He did not expect that there would be a surprise after he had completed the mission.
To upgrade from respect to fanatical faith, 1000 friendliness was required.
Who would have thought that this quest alone would increase his progress by 10%!
Mike did not know what would happen if he upgraded his relationship to fanatical faith. He had never heard of anyone who had accomplished this in his previous life.
After all, it was quite difficult to upgrade one’s friendliness.
Of course, it was much easier to upgrade a single NPC’s relationship than the entire race.
Every NPC had their own independent friendliness, but this was based on the friendliness of the entire race.
The relationship between the human race and Mike was respect. If Mike provoked an NPC, that NPC would lose a portion of his friendliness and would only drop from being respectful to being friendly to Mike.
Unless you killed that NPC’s family, it was practically impossible to drop from respect to peace or even indifference.
In short, it was very, very hard to increase the friendliness of the entire race, which was beneficial for Mike.
Very soon, the second-hand master skill book was sent to the palace.
Without any hesitation, Mike learned it.
[Second-hand mastery (god-tier passive enhancement), the extra hand can wear a weapon and have 200% damage.]
Having looked at the introduction of this skill, a strange smile appeared on Mike’s face.
The original effect of the second-hand mastery was that the extra hand could wear a weapon and had 50% damage.
After all, it was just the extra hand, so it was reasonable for him to only deal half of the damage.
However, after the god-tier passive enhancement, the damage dealt by the extra hand was actually higher than the damage dealt by the main hand.
This was rather strange.
Of course, although this was strange, it benefited Mike. Therefore, he happily accepted it.
Mike had already received the reward and was about to leave the palace when he heard the king said,
“God Slayer, are you willing to accept an important mission?”
Mike turned to look at the king and asked with a smile, “What mission?”
The king hesitated for a moment and stood up, “Let’s talk in my study.”
After saying that, he took the initiative and walked to the side door.
Mike naturally had no reason to refuse. The more the king reacted this way, the more it proved that this was a rare mission.
It was very likely to be a hidden mission!
As for the trigger conditions for this mission, Mike was not certain.
It could be that he had to reach a certain level of friendliness, or it could be that he had to complete the reward mission.
It was said that there was an endless number of hidden missions in Second World, and there were many different ways to trigger them. Moreover, many hidden missions were unique.
In other words, as long as someone accepted this mission, they would not be able to trigger it a second time. Even if it was a different person, they would not be able to receive this mission.
Therefore, no one dared to say that they knew how to trigger all the hidden missions.
At this moment, Mike had already followed the king to the study.
There were only the two of them here, so it was very suitable for them to discuss some shameful matters.
The king turned around, looked at Mike, and sighed.
“Actually, I originally didn’t want you adventurers to participate in this mission, but I really had no choice.
“My daughter… went missing half a month ago!”
Hearing this, Mike’s eyes lit up.
‘The princess went missing?’
Such a big matter, if he could complete the mission, the rewards would definitely be very valuable!
