2022-10-14 21:39:31Aaron surprised many people when he returned to Gray Stone City. How could they not? He bound 160 orc heads like long chains and dragged them through the city streets. The sight was too gruesome!
Luckily, international rules do not allow MMORPG games to create too many child characters in their world. There aren't moral restrictions in this game. The players could do whatever they pleased!
Thus, the sight of Aaron dragging the many severed orc heads did not reach the children.
When he arrived at the Diamond Sword Pavilion, the sight was even more shocking. Most of the people gathered here were assassins who hunted orcs and goblins, just like Aaron. Seeing the number of orc heads brought by the young man, they couldn't help but open their jaws.
What Aaron got was equivalent to the results got by a guild of 5 players with at least level 4. Whereas the young man was only by himself and still at level 1...
Unbelievable by any possibility!
People speculated that Aaron had trapped a guild so he could somehow steal all their orc heads.
Some suspected that Aaron had found all the orc heads. Maybe there was a guild that forced them to abandon him because of being attacked by spirit animals.
Who knows?
"Hey, look at his information bar! He has the name Aaron, and he could kill so many orcs despite having neither skill nor level. Could he be the legend of the 'Martial Earth Online' game? I heard that the Unmatched Sword Master also has the name Aaron."
"No way. Although I received news that the Unmatched Sword Master got out of prison after ten years, there must be a great trauma that makes him not play MMORPG games anymore."
Aaron became the talk of all the players in the Diamond Sword Pavilion. No one wasn't interested in him!
On the other hand, the young man chose to ignore them. As someone who had been famous before, he was already used to many people's comments.
In the past, Aaron chose to care about those comments and even took the time to respond to them a few times. But after a while, many players were so attentive to him that they will make inappropriate comments, making Aaron no longer care about any comments.
"You're back again." Alice greeted Aaron with an icy stare. Just like a moment ago, the young man surprised her!
The beautiful girl couldn't help but be watchful. Aaron's ability was beyond common sense.
"Yes," Aaron replied. "Miss, you'd better not waste time suspecting me. I have other needs."
Aaron was indeed in a hurry. On his way back from the Rubby Forest, he smelled a moist scent similar to mushrooms. After investigating, Aaron found a bunch of Black Dragon Mushrooms that Sir Janson was looking for.
But when he wanted to take it, Aaron directly refrained. He discovered that the mushroom was poisonous!
There were many insects like flies and ants lying around it blandly, as if the mushroom had made it clear to anyone that he didn't like being touched.
Aaron's face instantly turned sour. He knew that there were oddities from Sir Janson's mission, and this was the oddity. Sir Janson couldn't have been lazy to look for this mushroom in the forest unless it was extremely dangerous and deadly. So the young man decided to return to the city and ask Old Man Janson for some tools so that the mushrooms could be retrieved safely.
There was no time for the questions of the suspicious Alice.
"I don't know how you got all this, but I don't think I should care." Some soldiers came over when Alice waved her arm. "Give this young man a reward and a medal."
Aaron raised his eyebrows when he heard that he would be given an award medal. Even when playing 'Martial Earth Online', he only received an award after reaching level 30. It was unnatural to give a novice player an award medal.
Looking at Aaron's puzzled face, Alice again said, "Even though you are still level 1, we will keep giving you an award medal. You've killed more than 150 orcs in a day, and you did it all by yourself, so you've met the qualifications to get an award medal from us. No one has ever achieved this record before."
After Alice finished speaking, some of her men came over with rewards and medals. He got 8 gold pieces and a crystal-clear medal with the emblem of the Gray Stone City.
[Congratulations! You've earned the first-rate award medal of the Gray Stone City! Wherever you go, as long as it's still in the Fallen Star Kingdom, you'll get a small portion of the privilege of being honored by NPCs."]
Despite not believing the medal would be useful, Aaron accepted it anyway. At least, it was his first achievement in the 'Martial Universe Online'.
Aaron stepped away from that place, but an instant later, Alice called him back.
"Aaron, if you have a little time, I hope you can meet me at the Flying Star Restaurant. There are some important things I want to tell you, and I don't think you'd be at a loss to hear them."
Aaron instantly nodded his head without much consideration. He felt that there was nothing he could do at night except rest because he couldn't get out of the game before killing 1000 orcs or goblins, and it would be too dangerous to hunt at night.
It would be better to have a conversation with someone.
***
Sir Janson's potion shop, Gray Stone City.
Sir Janson laughed widely after hearing the complaints from Aaron. Meanwhile, the young man looked not happy at all. He was about to die if he wasn't careful because of Sir Janson, but why was the old man laughing loudly, as if he had just heard a joke?
"Sir, this is not funny at all. I almost died because of you," Aaron said.
"Come on, son, it's been a long time since I last laughed like this. You should feel lucky to be able to hear the sound of my precious laughter."
Aaron almost let out an expletive if he didn't remember the etiquette of courtesy to elders. Was the old man's laughter more valuable than all the equipment Aaron currently had, along with all the EXP and coins he had accumulated? That wasn't funny at all!
"No need to be so sour, son. I was just joking with you." Sir Janson managed to control his laughter as he took something out of his drawer. "Here, take this. I operated to use this tool to extract poisonous plants, but that was a long time ago, so you'd better hope it still works."

Mordecai's Weakness
Aaron went to a cave to rest after a long day of hunting.

Aaron, am I not the person you've been looking for all this time?"Aaron threw his spit on the ground as soon as he recognized the voice. "Mordecai... I've been confident in my current strength.""Oh, of course. Facing you, I am but an ant standing on the feet of a giant elephant." Mordecai let out a compliment that was much more akin to sarcasm. "So, why didn't you come here and fight me? Weren't you already confident of your victory?"Laughing softly, Aaron took something out from inside his spatial ring.[Item's name: Lighting BallType: CommonIt can light up for thirty minutes once activated.]From behind the darkness, M

However, Mordecai suddenly turned into a grain of light and disappeared.Dariowyn, the knight who was Aaron's servant, came to him and gave advice. "I saw your fight with Mordecai. You have amazing abilities, but your level is still not high enough to deal with him. I suggest that you raise your level to at least 700."Aaron nodded in agreement, and vowed to increase his level as quickly as possible.
