S-rank quest!
It had finally reached its completion.
Saying he wasn't excited would be false. Maxwell's heart was currently beating quickly from anxiety!
Looking at the glass box, Maxwell made a hand gesture to have the woman back up. He then shouted: "Eternal Kingdom!"
"Ommm!"
A dim and black light extended outwards…
Instantly enshrouding the glass box in its domain.
Arianna's brows quivered as she said with a hint of zeal: "Smelly scoundrel is quite awesome; he even knows a spatial martial technique."
Lilith faintly smiled and said, "That Bastard actually knows a lot of stuff. Hasn't senior brother mentioned it to you before?"
"Ninth brother? Mention what?"
"Mention all the things that have happened at Dead City. That Bastard saved us both there and learned the spatial technique from there."
"He's the idol that Ninth brother has been talking about?"
Arianna pouted and clenched her hands. She then pretended to be angry and said: "Humph! Ninth brother, you watch how I'll take care of you when I get back! No wonder that smelly scoundrel always has that weird, mysterious look; so he already saw through all my words. After bullying me, he would always say he'd have Ninth brother's idol beat him until he had to pick up his teeth from the ground, so he was just treating me like a fool all this time!"
"Huh?"
Lilith was stunned by this and started giggling.
Inside the domain of Eternal Kingdom…
Maxwell was in control of everything. His right hand started moving as a heavy punch landed on the glass box.
The glass box shattered…
But the glass shards didn't fly out all over the place. Within his spatial domain, Maxwell was the overlord, able to control everything that went on within it.
After shattering the glass box, Maxwell then said, "Below is the metal chain that's wrapping around your neck and legs, so don't move around."
The woman cooperated and said, "En, I appreciate your hard work."
Her voice had an ethereal quality.
It was very easy on the ears and almost made Maxwell's bones weaken.
The voice was too powerful, almost making Maxwell unable to hold back. It was fortunate that he had a firm heart, or else he would've done something right then and there!
The time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint…
The runed metal chains shattered under two of Maxwell's strikes. He then picked up the woman to protect her. The moment he held her, she didn't struggle and cooperated perfectly. Her voice could weaken one's bones, and her body almost melted Maxwell's entire body!
This feeling…
Maxwell couldn't describe it, only saying it was similar to floating to heaven.
The timer for the Eternal Kingdom technique was up.
Glass flew out, and the runed metal chains exploded. Maxwell was using his body to block the shockwave he had created.
"So handsome!"
"He's handsome to a complete mess!"
"That bastard didn't disappoint me, hee hee…"
Within Maxwell's embrace, the woman had a dazed look in her eyes. She was smelling the faint scent of sweat, blood, and the smell that only mature men had on Maxwell. His strong, steady chest seemed capable of blocking the wind and rain, and of protecting you your entire life.
At this moment…
She seemed to have lost her senses.
Maxwell didn't have any feelings except for his lower part, almost about to point up straight into the sky. The kind that wanted to pierce through the heavens! "Calm down, calm down. Maxwell, you beast, we're right in front of Brenda! You must calm down!"
"Mother…"
Brenda directly jumped over.
Maxwell used this chance to lower her.
The woman lowered herself and embraced Brenda, tears streaming down her face.
The mother and daughter pair were both crying.
Their tears made everyone present ache.
After a while…
The woman stood up and bowed before Maxwell. She then said tenderly, "This one is called Lois. Thank you, hero, for looking after Brenda all this time. Thank you, hero, for this saving grace. If… if… hero doesn't mind, this one is willing… willing…"
At this moment…
Maxwell wasn't paying attention to the rest of her words…
Because he was completely focused on the system's notification tones.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for completing the S-rank quest Rescue Brenda's Mother. You have gained 1,000,000 XP, 100,000 mana…"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining a random Earth-grade martial technique book…"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining 100,000 favorability points with Brenda."
A sound that was as soft as a sigh.
Maxwell noticed a holy-like light come out from Brenda's body.
The light then sprinkled onto Maxwell's body.
At this moment…
The system gave off another notification tone.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining the blessing from the Goddess of Luck. Your luck value has increased by +100!"
"How much?!"
Maxwell was in a daze.
He thought he had misheard it and immediately opened the system interface to check. He then found that his personal attributes had a new status line.
Luck Value: 100
"Oh shit!!!"
"This is heaven-defying!" Maxwell was so excited that his blood felt like it was burning up. He then roared out internally: "I knew it! I knew that 100,000 favorability points would have a special use! How fierce is it to have 100 luck points? The loot explosion from killing a chicken might even give me a piece of divine equipment! This… this… this is too awesome! Awesome to the point that even I don't dare to believe it's real!
Luck value!
Different games would give different descriptions.
But they all had one thing in common.
And that is its ability to raise a player's loot explosion rate of items. The higher one's luck value, the greater the chance of getting higher-quality items.
A better way to say this…
All the chickens in the world would amount to over 10 billion, and one of those chickens pecking for food happens to swallow a divine item. For someone with a lot of luck points, they can randomly kill a chicken and a divine item would explode from the chicken's corpse. This was the power of having a high luck value!
Moreover, apart from the rate of better loot popping out, one's attack, defence, or even charm would be increased by it.
100 points of luck were considered the maximum.
This was definitely an attribute considered heaven-defying.
Maxwell almost couldn't handle the excitement anymore. "This reward might even be better than what I could get from an SSS-rank quest! This is too heaven-defying! Hahaha… Oh, you system, I love you to death!"
In fact…
This was what Maxwell benefited from taking care of Brenda.
Many things have happened this past year that have accumulated in Brenda's heart. There were many times Maxwell's rage had shot into the sky for her. When dealing with Gareth, an opponent Maxwell couldn't defeat, he was willing to give his life in exchange for Brenda's. This was all being stored inside the depths of her heart.
Even the mysterious powers inside her were moved by those actions.
Therefore…
The moment Maxwell rescued her mother, the mysterious powers of her seemed to be satisfied to the brink.
The 100,000 favorability points had brought forward the 100 luck points.
This was something Maxwell naturally didn't know of.
Brenda herself didn't know either.
Because the mysterious power inside her wasn't something she could control.
Maxwell suddenly remembered Ghost Dragon's words before he died: Take good care of Brenda because she will be of great assistance to you. She has a powerful force inside her that will allow you to reach the peak of this world.
At this time…
Maxwell started to understand the meaning behind those words.
"100 luck points!"
"Saint weapons, divine weapons, or even ancient divine weapons wouldn't be a problem. Hahaha…" Maxwell was ecstatic as his face showed a rosy glow.
At this time…
Lilith glared at Maxwell and said, "Bastard, are you going to agree to it or not? Say something!"
Maxwell didn't even know what she was talking about and just mindlessly nodded: "I agree."
At this moment, Lois's face started blushing…
