On the podium, Olade, who was barely able to support his body to go on stage to receive the award, was so excited that he almost fainted again. Wearing the yellow driving suit that represented the champion pilot, Olade, who was holding the trophy, was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Beside him, Wen Hana was the same. Although she had been bragging about becoming the champion, she had only been cheering herself on. She had never really thought about it. But now, she was actually the champion, and was even holding the trophy. This was unbelievable.
Li Huailin was also very happy. Of course, it wasn't because of the trophy or the prize money, but because he had just received a quest completion notification.
System Notification: AA Hidden Quest, Carnival Party completed.
Obtained Quest Reward: Rank, First. You have lost 120000 gold coins, 150000 EXP, 40000 Reputation Points, and 5 Reputation Points. Your Reputation Points in the Human Main Cities have been reduced. You have obtained the Champion's Gift Bag.
System Notification: You have obtained first place in the Dilama Race. You have obtained a new title: Star of Speed.
Star of Speed: Movement Speed reduced by 10%, Attack Speed reduced by 10%.
System Notification: Olad Statham's Favorability towards you has decreased by 30 points. Wenhana Perry's Favorability towards you has decreased by 30 points. Koko's Favorability towards you has decreased by 40 points. Mondo's Favorability towards you has decreased by 25 points. Malasha's Favorability towards you has decreased by 25 points …
There was also a large row of Favorability drops below. Li Huailin looked at them. They were all names that he had seen in the Cyclops Village. The drops were between 5 and 30 points. Li Huailin did a quick count. There were at least a dozen that had dropped by -20 points.
This quest deducted 120,000 gold from Li Huailin. The approximate calculation was 350,000 gold for first place, 20,000 gold for the Golden Sword, 10,000 for the repair of the vehicle (the Black Rhino had already been completely dismantled), and the remaining 360,000 gold was split evenly between the three of them. Each of them received 120,000 gold. Fortunately, Li Huailin only had 30,000 gold coins on him, so his loss wasn't too great. He was directly deducted to 0 gold coins. Li Huailin felt that he had made a profit after being deducted 90,000 gold coins …
As for the experience and reputation points, Li Huailin didn't pay much attention to them. After all, he should be able to farm experience very soon. Reputation points would increase even if he didn't use them, so he wasn't too worried about them. The only thing that annoyed him was the 10% Movement Speed and Attack Speed reduction of this title. This was too annoying. He didn't know what to do with it.
Apart from that, there was also the big gift bag for first place. Li Huailin opened the gift bag, and a pair of shoes and three blue fruits immediately appeared in his bag. Li Huailin hurriedly looked at them.
Goblin Jet Shoes (Epic): Feet, Physical Defense 10-10, Magic Defense 10-10, All Attributes + 3, Movement Speed + 15%, Additional Skill: Jet Jump. Level Requirement: 50. Class Requirement: None.
Jet Jump: Catapults you forward a distance of 10 yards.
Purple equipment could be worn by all classes, but it only gave 3 Attribute Points. It was a little too little. However, the 15% Movement Speed was pretty good. It just happened to make up for the 10% that had been deducted. As for the Jet Jump, Li Huailin was only Level 43, so he hadn't tried it yet. As for the three fruits …
Speed Fruit: Permanently increases Movement Speed by 2% after consumption.
Li Huailin's face turned green. If he ate these things, it would definitely be a waste. It would be better to find a rich man and sell them. He should be able to get a good price.
After evaluating the gains and losses, it seemed like it was more or less acceptable. Now, it was time to see if he could really level up in the Cyclops Village.
"I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first," Li Huailin said to Wen Hana after the award ceremony had ended.
"Get lost! Don't think that we'll thank you just because you're a noble. We're looking down on you!" Wen Hana said to Li Huailin with a look of disgust.
"Eh?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly understood. His Affinity with Wen Hana was currently negative. It should be an aggro state. If his identity hadn't been exposed, she might have attacked him directly.
Although it was very easy to farm it back, Li Huailin only needed to give her a few hits. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to. Wasn't this a good time to part ways? It would save him the trouble of having to refuse when they invited him to participate in next year's competition. This was also good.
After smiling, Li Huailin prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, Delnate walked over.
"Archduke Aquitaine," Delnate greeted Li Huailin very carefully.
"Oh, Delnate." Li Huailin nodded. "What's up?"
"Congratulations on winning the competition. I really didn't expect the Duke to be so interested," Delnate said with a smile. "Now, even His Royal Highness is interested in this."
"Hehe." Li Huailin really wasn't interested. It was just a quest. Of course, it was too troublesome to talk about it, so he couldn't be bothered to explain. "Oh, right, how are the orcs?"
"The corpse handover ceremony has been completed. Now, the second army is escorting the corpses back. They will probably arrive in the main city the day after tomorrow. There will be a state funeral then. Archduke Aquitaine, I wonder if you have the time to attend?" Delnate asked. Although Anthony knew that Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to attend, Delnate felt that as the only duke in the Empire, it was best for him to attend.
"I'm not free." Li Huailin's answer was very straightforward. If he went back now, he would be wholeheartedly going to the Cyclops village to die. He wouldn't have the time to attend the funeral, so he directly refused.
"Uh … is that so?" Delnate was a little embarrassed. This Duke Aquitaine was really … as weird as the rumors said. His Royal Highness knew him well. "If that's the case, then I'll go back to report. Tell His Royal Highness to come to the palace more often when you have the time. He often talks about you."
"What the hell? Why does it sound so gay?" Li Huailin said with a hand to his forehead. "Alright, I understand. I really have something to do. I'll go back to work first."
"Please be careful, Duke Aquitaine," Delnate immediately said with a bow.
After bidding farewell to Delnate, Li Huailin immediately used a Return Scroll. The small town of Lavenland wasn't a city, so it didn't have a Rebirth Point or a Return Point. Li Huailin's Record Point should still be in Cybacary City. As expected, Li Huailin used a Return Scroll and returned to the Cybacary City Return Point.
Hurrying to the bank, Li Huailin stored all of his equipment and took a few hundred bottles of potions. Then, Li Huailin began to run towards the Cyclops village. When he reached the entrance of the depression, he saw a group of soldiers. Li Huailin still had an impression of the leader, Li Huailin.
Seeing Li Huailin run over, Captain Rakrael immediately saluted Li Huailin and said, "Duke!"
"Oh, it's you again. Stand guard." Li Huailin casually greeted him. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something. "Oh right, don't follow me. I have something to take care of here."
"Yes, Duke." Although Rakrael was a little curious about what Li Huailin was talking about, he thought it would be better not to ask too much. Otherwise, if he learned something that he shouldn't know, he would be in big trouble.
After giving instructions to the guards, Li Huailin officially entered the village. As he approached the village, Li Huailin saw a few Cyclops working in the village. When they saw Li Huailin walk in, the Cyclops glanced at Li Huailin, then ignored him and continued with their work. These Cyclops had Cold Favorability, but the other Cyclops had a bigger reaction. As soon as they saw Li Huailin walk in, their big eyes turned red.
"It's you!" A large Cyclops pointed at Li Huailin and said angrily, "You're the human who helped Mundo's son win the race! How dare you come back!"
"Yes, Bala knows you. You're the human who helped Mundo!" Another Cyclops said angrily.
"I'll beat you to death!" One of the Cyclops picked up a huge piece of wood beside him and rushed towards Li Huailin.
"It's working!" Li Huailin was overjoyed. This is great! The Cyclops really took the initiative to attack. I didn't waste my three days of hard work. This is great. Seeing the menacing Cyclops charging at him, Li Huailin stood in place and waited.
Dong! A damage figure of -408 appeared above Li Huailin's head. It wasn't a critical hit. Li Huailin was only wearing a set of cloth clothes, so his Defense was basically non-existent. The attack dealt a lot of damage, instantly shaving away a chunk of Li Huailin's Health Points.
After the Cyclops finished his attack, the other Cyclops also rushed forward with their weapons. A total of four Cyclops that had aggro towards Li Huailin attacked Li Huailin. Each of them hit Li Huailin twice, and Li Huailin was on the brink of death.
"Wait …" When Li Huailin saw that his Health Points were almost empty, he immediately drank a Health Potion. He remembered that he had Millet's Noble Sacrifice. If he used a skill that dealt tens of thousands of damage, the Cyclops wouldn't be able to withstand it. Most importantly, if he killed one of the Cyclops, the other Cyclops' Favorability would increase. If that happened, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
To prevent himself from dying, Li Huailin hurriedly dodged the attacks. Fortunately, his Movement Speed was high enough. Even though he had lost 10% of his Movement Speed, his Defensive Stance had increased by 50%. It was easy to dodge the Cyclops' heavy attacks.
After dodging a few attacks, Li Huailin's Health Points suddenly hit rock bottom. His body tilted, and he collapsed to the ground. Before long, Li Huailin was resurrected at the Rebirth Point in Sebacary City.
"Good, it worked. I'll have to train hard now," Li Huailin said with a smile.
