Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 501 - 349: Rewards and Wrap-up 2

[Residence: The Black Tower has numerous fully functional floors, including a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, lavatory, library, meditation room, training room, artisan workshop, wine cellar, prison... It can even automatically provide you with a limited amount of various resources, ensuring a worry-free life inside.]

[Trial: The trial is the core capability of the Black Tower. You can set up your own trial projects, allowing you to simulate highly realistic environments within the tower, battling against some default enemies, or recreate battles to the death with past opponents. Of course, as the master of this tower, you cannot die in the trials. No matter the injuries sustained, you can recover fully with just a thought, but whether external trial takers receive the same treatment depends entirely on your settings and mood.

Note: Trials can be set with corresponding rewards, which can be default rewards or custom rewards. The High Tower can automatically create a batch of random default rewards periodically, with the highest quality of default rewards being of exceptional grade, divided into categories like weapons, armor, summoning items, and others.]

Above the night sky, Wang Zhifan slowly descended using Lightweight Skill, quickly speed-reading the reward list that appeared before him.

Unlike his usual indecisiveness, this time he made a decision very decisively.

"Directly one Legendary and two Epics."

Since he could choose at most three rewards, he adopted this most prudent plan after quickly skimming through the reward options.

In an instant, the reward list before his eyes vanished, and three high-grade items appeared in his personal space. This was a common mode in advanced dungeons, skipping the process of opening boxes during the reward phase and directly delivering the results to the player’s space.

"Where is the Demon King?!"

"What happened just now!"

"Everyone, be careful! The Demon King might be hiding somewhere!"

"Grand Duke! Please tell us what happened just now!"

...

When Wang Zhifan landed from the dark sky to the ground, he found that the surrounding NPC professionals were still running around looking for the Demon King’s traces. Almost everyone was unaware of what happened due to the Time Stop power’s influence.

In their memories, the Demon King suddenly disappeared, along with those terrifying illusions that appeared in the sky, as if they suddenly decided to give up attacking and collectively fled.

Only the player group was certain that the Demon King was already dead, as they had received the dungeon settlement rewards, and judging by their expressions, they all had quite a good haul.

"Everyone! The Demon King is dead! It was me! The great Lizard Tamer! I used a Secret Technique to destroy it! You should all thank me for this!"

The dark-skinned Indian player and Lizard Tamer Raj was now exerting himself, arrogantly claiming that he ended the previous battle, raising his arms to attract everyone’s attention, hoping for gratitude from players and NPCs alike, but evidently, no one chose to believe him.

"Raj! You’re lying! Just now, I saw you only knew how to run! You didn’t launch any attack at all!"

A Berserker professional listened and said to him with disdain in his eyes, looking like he wanted to give him a taste of an axe.

"My intuition tells me the Demon King shouldn’t be dead! Their sudden disappearance must involve some great conspiracy!"

Another Archer professional also responded, completely ignoring the Indian spouting nonsense in the crowd.

In this noisy environment, Wang Zhifan wanted to leave immediately and return to the real world, but he held back and planned to handle some concluding matters.

He quickly made his way through the chaotic crowd into a deserted woodland area, summoning the little elephant hiding in his ring.

"I’ve already killed the Demon King, your mission is accomplished."

When he said these words to the runic elf, the other displayed a look of confusion, clearly not understanding why he suddenly said this. During the previous Time Stop, this peculiar entity was also influenced, not knowing what had transpired.

"Adventurer... although I can no longer sense the Demon King’s aura, you can’t just casually conclude as such..."

The little elephant replied to him speechlessly, while glancing towards the nearby noisy area, trying to find some traces to deduce what happened.

"The Demon King is truly dead, I’m not lying to you... and I’m about to leave."

Wang Zhifan emphasized this point again, then instructed the little elephant:

"When I leave, a few precious items might drop from me, you’d better gather them and wait for the next batch of adventurers."

"Dropping items?"

Hearing this, the little elephant was even more puzzled, staring directly at Wang Zhifan, wanting him to clarify.

But Wang Zhifan didn’t intend to waste time on this topic. He turned his head to look at a figure suddenly arriving and approaching here, an ordinary-looking but dignified elder, the Grand Duke Agulas Rod.

This elder, with substantial power and status, should be the only one present who knew of Wang Zhifan’s previous methods. Therefore, driven by great curiosity, he came over to talk to him.

"Young man, exactly who are you? The formidable power that eliminated the Demon King and those strong demons just now, I have never seen before..."

As a Wise Man, the elder was very curious about all knowledge, especially the earlier scene that completely overturned his understanding. Even if he was unsure about Wang Zhifan’s attitude towards him, he had to inquire.

"I’m just a traveler, please don’t mind too many unnecessary details."

Not wanting to explain this aspect, Wang Zhifan noticed that the surrounding players had already started disappearing and leaving, but the NPCs seemed indifferent, likely because the extraordinary game made them deliberately ignore such anomalies.

"Your Grace, the old Demon King has vanished, but a new Demon King will emerge."

He then shifted his gaze not far to the side, where a dark night tribe girl was watching from the shadows, Ithrace, who had just been resurrected from death.

She might currently be the most bewildered entity, having died suddenly and, after resurrection, is still unclear about the situation.

"Compared to endless conflicts, peaceful coexistence might be a better option. After all, she is very different from past Demon Kings, I hope the Duke can give her a chance to prove herself... Of course, this is just my personal superficial opinion."

Recalling the words he used to persuade Ithrace, now that the dungeon was over, and just happening to encounter the Grand Duke, Wang Zhifan expressed his suggestion, believing that in the current context, there might be a chance someone would listen to him.

After speaking, Wang Zhifan waved goodbye to the little elephant and quickly entered the nearby Black High Tower. Initially, he didn’t plan on entering, but the Duke’s appearance compelled him to do so.

The little elephant sensed that Wang Zhifan had more to say and silently followed him into the Black High Tower, returning to where they first met, although not to the tower’s top floor.

"Little elephant, it’s time to bid you farewell. Your help has been valuable, and you contributed to the Demon King’s downfall... Also, if given the chance, please pass a message to Jack, the red-haired young mercenary who took us to the guild appraisal more than half a month ago. Tell him I owe him wages replaced by this silver ring, and also give my preemptive blessing for happiness with Alice."

Feeling the time to leave the dungeon had come, Wang Zhifan took out a silver ring and handed it to the little elephant in front of him, who used its long trunk to wrap it up. This ring was a gain from the tower, but it wasn’t of high grade, so even if a standard mercenary possessed it, it wouldn’t cause trouble.

"Goodbye."

Finally, at the tower’s base, he confirmed his return to reality in front of the bewildered little elephant and disappeared from sight.
