Before Leon could approach the box, he received a message.
[Register faction name as 'Red Wings'?]
He didn't hesitate and nodded.
[A worldwide broadcast is about to be made. Do you wish to keep your faction name hidden?]
Leon paused briefly, weighing his options. Allowing the announcement of their faction name might bring fame, but so would it cause trouble. There might be other rival factions who'd come around to rob them once they knew their location.
"Yes."
In the end, he decided against letting the name be known. Immediately, every Evolved on Earth received a message.
[Faction XXXXX has become the first team to clear a dungeon]
[Additional rewards have been granted]
The second message puzzled Leon slightly as he didn't remember that from his past experience.
'I don't think I even recall such a broadcast happening at all, did I?'
Ignoring his confusion, a smaller gachapon appeared beside the throne, hovering in the air.
Calmly, Leon approached the bigger gachapon first and opened it. To Little Tiger's disappointment, the box didn't radiate any light nor did it play any mysterious song when it was opened.
Leon spotted a palm-sized, rectangular, silver disc nestling in the box. As soon as he picked it up, his system interface displayed its contents.
[Black Gu Petals - x3]
[Level 2 Class Upgrade Card - x6]
[Health Potion - x8]
[Second Level Evolution Potion - x5]
[Rejuvenation Potion - x3]
[Two-Star 50% Discount Coupon (Weapon-Tier) x2]
[Beast Tamer Class Card - x1]
[Redeem your rewards by inputting the disc in a Reward Crucible's Crystal Collector]
These seven were the items available from the disc, making him raise a brow in mild surprise. Even though he was aware that dungeons granted much rewards, he didn't expect anything this good.
'So the Captain was lying when he said we didn't get much?'
After all, they'd raided this dungeon in his past life. That bearded man definitely knew how to convince people.
Sighing, he turned his attention towards the smaller gachapon.
"What's in you?"
Curious, he opened the box. Inside, there were two items. One was a card that looked like a ticket, while the other was an evolution potion. Picking up the card, it read: [Mystery Lottery Ticket]
As for the potion, Leon realized it was a Third Level Evolution Potion after seeing the blue color of its content.
"Interesting…"
A pale smile graced his lips as he held the disc, potion and lottery ticket. Turning to his exhausted but smiling subordinates he said,
"Let's go home…"
....
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Glass Tower while supporting each other. The residents were surprised at seeing their battered state but didn't ask unnecessary questions. They only greeted them from afar and continued their daily business.
Leon didn't waste any time and went to one of the two crucibles in the tower. He inserted the rectangular disc and patiently waited for the rewards to appear. One by one, they appeared out of thin air, true to the list.
'The Black Gu should be a material for alchemists. Sigh, I really need to search for these people.'
By now, he had reverted back to his human form and didn't feel any sense of alienation with himself.
When he left the Crucible room, he immediately called for a meeting in the conference room, with all those who had gone for the raid.
In less than ten minutes, they all gathered, having changed attires and bandaged their wounds. As for Leon, his injuries had almost fully healed so he only wiped the blood off himself in a quick shower.
"First, those I give should drink these potions immediately." He said, placing the evolution potions on the tray. "Cassie, Anna, Ye Ming, Oliver, Simone, Amelia, Jones, Camilla."
They came one by one, with the last two being among the newly evolved. Those eight had the most serious injuries amongst everyone present. As for the others, a few days of recuperation would be enough.
Watching as they drank the golden liquid from the small bottle, Little Tiger couldn't help but ask. "Does it work instantaneously?"
Leon shook his head. "No. However, they should be healed in a few hours. They'll still feel some pains though."
"Ah, it's not really magical then."
The boy sounded disappointed. As for the others, they didn't really care about such things—only effectiveness mattered.
"Next, we've got five Second Level Evolution Potions. I'll distribute it to those with the highest contribution. If you're not satisfied with not getting one, it's your problem."
"Ye Ming."
The father stood up, a little surprised. In the end, he regained his composure and collected the blue potion like an award.
"Simone."
Scarface stood up, his face unreadable. He accepted the potion and quietly returned to his seat.
"Amelia."
The young lady's cold expression melted before it recovered, definitely surprised. She hadn't expected him to actually give her one. Suppressing her twitching lips, she stood up and collected it.
"Finally, Rebecca and Aisha."
"Ahh?"
"Ehh?"
The two expressionless girls gasped. They had received the least amount of injuries from the raid, making it look like they had it the easiest.
However, Leon was paying keen attention on everyone and had seen how much they fought. They were just so talented. Inwardly, he had decided to raise them personally.
'Perhaps I should provide them a class that'd link them together.'
He smiled absentmindedly at the thought, brightening the room for a moment.
Seeing him nod, the girls hesitantly stepped forward and accepted the potions. Immediately, Leon moved onto the next distribution.
"Class Upgrade Cards," He said, immediately grabbing their attention.
"What's that?" Williams (Shadow) asked, interested.
"They're used for enhancing your class, guaranteeing stronger class ability output and new abilities." Leon explained casually, then placed the cards on the table.
"We have six currently and I've decided who to give these to."
Inwardly, Cassie grumbled. 'You didn't even ask for our opinion, you dictator. Hmph.'
Ignoring her dissatisfied expression, Leon tossed the cards to six people one by one. Old Pipe, Little Tiger, Simone, Anna, Williams, and Cassie.
'Lightning God, Blade Master, Earth Mage, Warrior, Shadow Ghost, and Assassin, huh? It'd be worth it.'
