Chapter 45 - 045 | Rewards; New Mission!?
To Luke's surprise, the quest completion notice kept popping up.
One by one, the rewards gave off a soft light in the item column. ??
This time, he led a team to raid Rome and captured Mussolini alive in an armed operation. He initially expected to receive over 400,000 reputation points!
According to the development of the events and the publicity efforts at a later period, breaking the million cap shouldn't be a problem!
It was foreseeable that when Luke's name spread around the world and was regarded as a legendary figure of the Allied forces, his reputation would welcome a surge.
Luke preferred this efficient method rather than toiling to complete quests and slowly accumulate reputation values.
'What a bountiful harvest. '
He thought to himself.
When he opens the shop in the future, he will exchange skill cards and props without worry. This thought made him a little happy.
'Anyway, there are quest rewards. '
Luke's mind drifted. All of the five 'War Hero' series of side quests were completed.
In addition to the 'Scarecrow's Fear Gas,' Bane's 'Back Breaking Expert' skill card, and 'Superman Card Lucky Draw Opportunity'; 'Poison Ivy's Phenomenon Perfume,' 'Joker's Laughing Gas' and 'Constantine's Silk Cut Cigarettes' were also provided as quest rewards.
Generally speaking, the most valuable thing was undoubtedly the lucky draw opportunity.
One can be randomly selected from numerous Superman Cards as a reward.
In the past life, Luke felt that he had a great chance of winning 'Silver Age Superman' and 'Superboy Prime.'
When that happens, not to mention Thanos, the director of the Universal Family Planning Commission; Even Odin, the Allfather, or Thor, who had opened his Rune King form, would tremble!
However, the latter rewards had more trolling effects than actual use.
'Poison Ivy's Pheromone Perfume,' [Can increase one's attractiveness to the opposite sex.]
[Note: The effect is better between people of the same sex.]
'This is aphrodisiac perfume …'
Luke looked speechless. 'What can I do with this?'
As for 'Joker's Laughing Gas' and 'Constantine's Silk Cut Cigarette.'
The former is, [Laughing until the muscles convulse and twitching all over. Taking too much will quickly lead to death.]
The latter is [Just a tiny amount of nicotine for your lungs. It will bring you a little closer to lung cancer].
After browsing the quest rewards, Luke opened the character panel, and the data had changed—
Host: Luke (Luke Cavill)
Loaded Card: Superman (LV1)
Abilities: Stellar Energy (Passive), Bio Force Field (Passive)
Reputation: 451024
Tasklist: Open the Path of Heroes (Side quests. Completed)
[Achievement: Legendary Hero]
Lines of information appeared on his retina.
Luke's mind moved slightly, sweeping over it.
[Your name will be written in the history books and passed down for centuries! (Enhancing the host's leadership and influence)]
'Not bad. '
Luke, who saw the results, was delighted.
This hidden aura of charisma sometimes played an unexpectedly crucial role.
'The lucky draw… this kind of thing should be done on an auspicious day with good background music. Otherwise, it won't feel right.'
Luke thought for a moment and decided to save the lucky draw for the day when the President presented the medal.
Borrowing the President's good luck, this would be a home run!
With a beautiful thought, Luke walked into the washroom.
Instead of lying down in the vast and luxurious hot spring bath, he simply washed his muscular body with cold water.
Blocks of well-defined muscles, like hard rocks, revealed his masculinity.
His whole body seemed to be carved out of marble, majestic and fit.
Explosive power-filled within.
"Sure enough … my eyes feel sour!"
Luke sighed as he braced his hands against the wall.
He closed his eyes, giving up trying to use heat vision.
According to the setting, the stellar energy Superman absorbed typically was stored in the billion trillion cells in his body and could be released through his eyes when necessary.
From burning up a planet to sealing a wound, it all depended on the user's control and the energy in the body.
Maybe Luke hadn't loaded the card long enough, and he hadn't absorbed enough astral energy.
It was hard for him to draw heat into his eyes as Superman did.
However, when he thought about it carefully, Clark Kent seemed to have learned this trick only after becoming an adult, Luke's heart felt a little more satisfied.
Ten minutes later, Luke, who was recognized as a 'Conqueror' by Italy and declared a 'Legendary Hero' by the Allies, came out wearing a white bathrobe.
When he saw the medieval sword hanging on the wall, he couldn't help but think about testing it.
Mussolini hit him in the chest with a 9-millimeter bullet without causing any harm.
He wondered if this medieval sword, an overwhelming metal squeal followed by its sharp edge flashing with cold light, could break his skin.
Luke took it off and slashed it hard at his arm.
Clank!
The sound of metal clashing and bending echoed!
The intricately carved medieval sword collided with Luke's bulging muscles, emitting a crisp sound of metal crashing.
An overwhelming metal squeal followed this, and with a 'screech' sound, the well-crafted medieval sword broke apart!
On Luke's bulging arm muscles, there was only a superficial scratch that recovered instantly.
Even under the wave of his mighty power, the medieval sword didn't cause any damage.
'It seems that no one can stop me in the battlefields of World War II. '
Luke leaned against the bed and picked up the book 'Il Principe,' written by Italian thinker Niccolò Machiavelli.
Unfortunately, Mussolini didn't learn how to turn Italy into a powerful centralized country but advocated totalitarianism and became a dictator who everyone wanted to shout at and beat up.
[Main Quest: Opening of the third camp, Hellfire Club!]
[Requirements: Extract mutant gene fragments (0/5). (Completing this quest will complete the prerequisite for opening 'the Celestials' event)]
[Reward: 'Leech Serum' ×5]
A few lines of information suddenly appeared in front of Luke's eyes. He still kept reading, but his auditory senses were at the maximum, scanning the whole bedroom like radar.
Generally speaking, the quest will start only after contacting important plot characters or getting information on crucial plots.
Luke is the only one in the large bedroom, yet he received a quest reminder.
There was no doubt that there's a mutant in the same room with him.
…
