"It seems that you really finished the request, that makes me happy."
"It was a bit tiring though, haha."
"Hehe, well, let me sign the request and I will give you the reward for doing an excellent job." Blake took the request out of his inventory and gave it to Shara, after she signed and put it away, she took something out of the bag she had on her waist and gave it to Blake. "As a reward, you can keep these pink turnip seeds, they are very popular this season and you can make delicious dishes with them."
Blake took the four bags of seeds while he thanked her.
'Unlike before, this time the notification that I received the seeds did not sound, at least I will not go crazy for hearing the voice of the system all the time.'
"It may not be much, but it is fair due to the difficulty of the request."
"Difficulty?"
"Yes. If you want to get better rewards, you must complete difficult requests, or also if the client offers a high reward for it, but the real reward is always helping others, don't you think?"
"Well, I always like to help if someone needs it."
"That's the spirit! By the way, the bulletin board isn't the only place you can get requests from, I don't know if you saw it, but next to the door of the Sharance tree there is a mailbox, if someone in specific needs your help, they will put the request inside it, so you should check it every day. My grandfather said that he would send you one later, so don't forget it."
"Don't worry, I got it... It's already a bit late, so I should go home."
"See you, Blake, I'm really happy you moved into town."
"Haha, I should thank you for letting me occupy the tree, I don't know what I would do if you hadn't helped me."
"I'm sure you would have found a way."
"Maybe... Good night, Shara."
"Good night, see you tomorrow." Blake felt calmer, he was able to complete the order without problems, he met the people of the town and many things to do in the future were being generated in his mind, he had already left the florist and he was about to follow the path to the tree until the voice of the system made its presence known again.
[Request completed.]
'Don't you think you're saying it a little late?'
[Please, select your reward.]
Just as Blake was laughing at the glitches in the system, again took out a trick up his sleeve and got him excited again. Once the system said that, something appeared in front of Blake that he had recently seen and he knew immediately what it was.
"Mistery boxes!" Perhaps his reaction was somewhat exaggerated, but in Blake's mind, he was only continually remembering that, from one of these same boxes, he obtained something almost priceless. "The possibilities are endless, although if what Sakuya said was true, I already spent all the luck of my life."
But even with that, he didn't hesitate much. The boxes that had appeared in front of him were three, each with its own design and theme, there was a blue one with fish markings, another orange with a dragon design around it, and finally a simple gray one with nothing else. Based on his experience, Blake chose the gray box, before he took a white one and obtained a runic ability, he also wanted to see if these boxes were really random all the time or if they really followed some strange order or pattern, so he did not hesitate and took the box in his hands.
[Do you agree with his selection?]
Once he heard that, Blake nodded, and right after, the other two boxes disappeared without a trace. He was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't take all the boxes, but he knew that being too greedy was not a good thing.
"Well, I hope at least it doesn't hurt me whatever comes out of here." Then he removed the lid of the box and prepared himself for what was coming. Unlike the time before, no dazzling light came out of the small box and he could clearly see how the gray box slowly disappeared and became something that was not unknown to him.
[Acquired: Small shield.]
"A... A shield?" Exactly, what appeared after not a single trace of the gray box was left, was a small wooden shield. It had a circular shape and was surrounded by an iron covering, in addition to the fact that a cross-shaped design could be seen with the naked eye right in the middle of it and it was noticeable that its size was not exaggerated at all. Blake took it and his first thought was to inspect it to be sure.
{Small shield. Level 1.
Small and easy to carry, but offers little protection.
DEF +6 when equipped
Selling price: 110G.}
And just like how he did with the sword, Blake equipped the shield to see if it was true. The shield felt very comfortable on his arm, its weight did not mean any problem and it seemed that if he ignored it, he would not even feel it was there, after moving it a bit and experiencing its touch, Blake opened his state to see the effect of the shield.

"Maybe it's not a big deal, but I prefer this instead of a demon." 'Hmm... My stats went up a bit, I guess the skills I gained during the day are responsible.' Once he saw everything that interested him, he kept the shield in his inventory and followed the path that would lead him to what would be his new home from that day on.
It didn't take long and he climbed the stairs until he reached the door and then opened it, once inside he can see that there was something different. On one side of the fridge was a large, long wooden furniture that, at a glance, he knew was the counter that Blaise had promised to bring him and he reminded himself that he should thank him in some way later.
Sleep was beginning to attack Blake, although he did not realize it, it was still having the effect of the delicious curry he had eaten hours ago, so with nothing else to do, he got to bed and lay on it waiting for it the god of sleep did his job.
"I woke up in an unknown place... Yawnn... I don't even remember who I am... But that doesn't matter... I have many new things to learn and people to meet... I won't think about complicated things, and... I will make the most of my new life... š¤š¤š¤."
[Progress... Saved.]
