god of tomorrow

"Grandma, is that you? It's dangerous by the river, don't move, I'm swimming over to get you!"

"Oh no, my eyes have been split open, and I can see the moon as if it's split open."

That's my butt!

More than forty adventurers lay on the ground, crying and wailing. From the start of the battle to their deaths, a total of 1 minute and 15 seconds had passed. The disparity in strength made them realize that lying down was the safest option.

By the way, he might play the victim, and maybe Gauss, being kind-hearted, would see how pitiful they were and, in a moment of pleasure, just let them go like a fart.

It's about surviving, nothing to be ashamed of.

The adventurers were clearly overthinking things. Gawain had no intention of killing them to silence them. Firstly, he never resorted to violence when morality was unclear, preferring to persuade and educate them. Secondly, the adventurer Gauss had come to make a name for himself and lure more and bigger fish into his net, ideally by drawing out Dylan and his gang.

Finally, who does 800 million look down on? 8000 million wouldn't be a problem...

Forget about 8000 million, this is still a lot of money. Not to mention Hervy would be tempted, even Gawain himself would be tempted to kidnap Gauss and submit the quest to the Adventurers' Guild.

"A bunch of useless trash, you can't even last two minutes together, and you want to make 800 million? Gauss is right here, do you think you can do that?"

Gao Wenyan mocked, kicked the person blocking his way in the backside, and after the person was hanging in the tree, he laughed and said "Good shot!" before walking away.

Five minutes later, after Gawain had walked away, the group of adventurers groaned as they got up from the ground, looking at each other's pathetic and helpless state, and fell into a long silence.

How embarrassing! You, hurry up and make an excuse! x40

"Damn it, if I hadn't had an upset stomach at noon and was still a bit drowsy, I wouldn't have let him act so arrogantly in front of me."

"Who isn't? I had a fight with my wife last night, and I was so angry that I ran away from home and smoked under the streetlights all night."

“The couple next door had a fight last night, and I spent the whole night trying to talk to my sister-in-law. It really exhausted me.”

"Me too!"

After much rambling and speculation, it became clear that Gauss, facing these experienced bounty hunters, not only refused to surrender but also attempted to resist, ultimately succeeding in his resistance. This was no longer a matter that 800 million could resolve; the bounty poster was flawed, and the Adventurers' Guild demanded an explanation.

On the other side, after Gawain left, he didn't go looking for Dawn, who was crouching in the bushes. Instead, he picked on two local gangs that were fighting each other and stopped the violence once again.

After finishing, he clapped his hands and left a sentence: "I have never been one to fight, but I am good at resolving conflicts!"

That evening, Gawain designated a five-kilometer radius around the highway as the adventurer Gauss's territory. Anyone caught fighting in this area would be unilaterally beaten by Gauss.

The same thing happened the following night.

On the third night, everything was the same as usual.

On the fourth day, the Adventurers' Guild couldn't take it anymore.

These past two days, the main gate has been blocked by bruised and battered idiots, all complaining about Gauss's 800 million bounty. They're presenting the facts and reasoning that the pricing is problematic, that this isn't a job they should be taking, that the mission was placed in the wrong area, and demanding an explanation from the Adventurers' Guild.

The Adventurers' Guild certainly won't offer an explanation. How dare a few bounty hunters make the guild bow down and admit their mistake? However, they also felt that the bounty hunters had a point, so they temporarily removed Gauss's bounty post and will repost it after confirming the appropriate bounty value.

With a 20% profit margin, the higher Gauss's bounty, the more the Adventurers' Guild earns, which they are naturally happy to accept.

Dylan was not happy!

He received a call from his subordinates saying that 800 million wasn't enough and he needed more money, which made him so angry that he smashed the phone.

Money, money, money, all you ever think about is money. I even treated your president to a meal before!

When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless. Dylan lost his job and his status as a court magician. His once amiable friends are now all businesslike, their smiles becoming increasingly formal.

Dylan, devastated by the loss of his son and unemployment, became somewhat mentally unstable. He didn't realize that people had abandoned him and felt that the whole world was against him. Instead of seeking revenge, he gritted his teeth and added another 800 million.

1600 million, that's all!

There are two main reasons why Dylan didn't seek out the Avengers.

First, they despise this fragile alliance from the bottom of their hearts. Their revenge is incomplete, or rather, they don't seek revenge at all. They are a ridiculous organization that drags everyone down.

The second reason is simpler: the Avengers kicked Dylan out and moved him to the council's inner circle, so he couldn't find an external wallet to add money and had to pay out of his own pocket.

The Avengers had long suspected that Dylan was mentally unstable and crazy, and Dylan lived up to their expectations by smashing up Griffith Auction House, delivering a powerful blow to His Majesty the King with a forehand and a backhand.

If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. We're still counting on His Majesty the King to give us a living!

The alliance has suffered another loss of members, with extremist Dylan out of the picture. He has now formed his own gang, leading seven or eight people who are all his trusted confidants whom he has cultivated over the years.

In fact, these seven or eight people were also somewhat related to the work of the court monks.

When Dylan was still a court magician, he would frequently invite his colleagues and superiors to join him in making progress. He was most adept at finding ways to attract sponsors. Once the money was in hand, the sponsors' funds would be split 30/70, while his colleagues and superiors would receive their original shares in full.

The project was abandoned.

Despite his advanced age, he hasn't retired yet and certainly has a special skill. If His Majesty the King hadn't intervened, Dean Boys would have been reluctant to fire the old man.

On the other hand, despite how much money Dylan made, he actually spent even more on cultivating relationships. After acquiring a baronial title and training a few loyal followers, he didn't have much left.

The baron's family was also short of funds; 1600 million was his last ripple.

If they can't catch the adventurer Gauss even with all this, they'll have to send their loyal henchmen to the highway...

At this moment, Dylan had no idea that 'Gauss' was a key participant in the Sunset Town incident, nor did he know that his beloved son had died at the hands of Gauss's summoned creature. He only considered Gauss as one of the clues, believing that following the trail would lead to the truth he wanted.

Student dormitory.

Morning, second-floor bedroom.

Gawain sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating deeply, inviting the four elements into the city to fill the empty container.

It's just a little bit more, just a few more elements and it will be filled.

Last night, while mediating a fight on the highway, Gao Wen successfully amassed 10 gold coins, quickly leveling up to become a prestigious Level 3 permanent VIP.

The benefits are as follows:

The red name status on the map and in battle remains unchanged;

The system inventory still has 99 slots, but the number of similar items that can be stored in each slot has been increased to 99.

Daily check-in rewards you with 8 magic points, 1 experience points, and a random resource. The resource's quality is improved, with a higher chance of obtaining red and blue potions, as well as food that increases base stats.

New system-exclusive equipment has been added to the mission rewards; low probability, random.

The identification technique has been upgraded.

There's not much to say about the first three benefits; the system is as stingy as ever, as if afraid that Gao Wen will earn too much and then give up and stop working hard.

LOL, people only give up when they can't earn enough money even after working themselves to the bone!

The key is the last two rewards; the 10 gold coins were well spent and were definitely worth the money.

The exclusive equipment rewarded by the system was something Gawain had only seen during the beginner phase. It consisted of a Spirit Injection Rod, a Night-Shining Pearl, and a Medical Insurance Card. If the Weapon Fusion Card is also included, there were a total of four pieces of equipment.

The Spirit Injection Stick couldn't keep up with the version and was retired; the Night-Shining Pearl had too much radiation, making it a good product for slow suicide, and it lay gathering dust in the warehouse; the Medical Insurance Card was used temporarily, but it was more life-saving than life-consuming, and it was taken back by the system; only the Weapon Fusion Card became the Ferryman, and it stayed by Gao Wen's side in a different way.

Good, very good. The traps are even more traps. There are surprises and excitement. Because it's random, Gao Wen doesn't have high requirements. He doesn't expect a medical insurance card or other amazing items. He just wants three or five weapon fusion cards.

After the appraisal skill was upgraded, it was finally no longer useless.

The system was created by Gawain. The system's perception and judgment of the outside world all stem from Gawain's own perception and judgment, which is highly subjective. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the true level of the enemy, and the error rate is still very high. Upgrading or not upgrading has the same effect.

The highlight is the addition of a new effect: regardless of whether Gawain successfully identifies the target, he can randomly read one of the target's skills.

nice one!

Given the system's cautious nature, being extremely meticulous in everything it does, fearing that the host might accidentally injure himself while walking and die on the spot from paronychia, it shouldn't have been upgraded to such an exaggerated effect. The main reason for this arrangement is the life force accumulated within Gao Wen's body.

The life force granted Gawain the ability to unleash his full potential. He could activate it on his own, unleashing his basic attributes during battle, or he could activate it in a small-scale manner by linking it to the system.

This kind of consumption won't endanger Gawain's life. As long as it doesn't burn his life, everything will be fine with the system.

The AI ​​assistant further reminded Gawain that as long as he could accumulate enough life force, he could cast the magic 'God of Wishes' without harming himself, truly becoming omnipotent.

It's not possible right now. I suggest Gao Wen be more rational and spend money to fulfill other people's wishes.

Gao Wen would be crazy to spend his own money to fulfill other people's wishes; he's so poor he's even considering having Ox-Head and Horse-Face break rocks on his chest.

After upgrading to VIP level 3, Gao Wen decisively claimed 8 magic points. After midnight, he claimed another 8 magic points and stayed up all night cultivating, wanting to break through his limit in one go and completely fill up this empty vessel.

He vaguely remembered that he broke through to become a formal mage in early May, and today is June 11th. He felt deeply ashamed of his lack of talent, as he still hadn't mastered magic release after all this time.

I must achieve this breakthrough even if I have to skip meals today, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to shake hands with other formal monks when I go out in the future.

I couldn't wait a moment longer, so I skipped my morning history class.

Around nine o'clock, Gawain's cross-legged body suddenly froze, and the filled container overflowed with magic power, briefly forming a magic shield before disappearing.

I'm new to Magic Release and have no experience, but with more practice I'll be able to control it freely.

I've succeeded as a mage!

Name: Gao Wen (Level 3 VIP)

Speed: 599 (S+)

Strength: 588 (S+)

Endurance: 590 (S+)

Charm: 201 (S+)

Magic Power: 1000 (S+)

After mastering the release of magic, his useless charm also increased, although Gawain felt it was still useless and could only attract some strange people.

"Hehehehehe————"

Gao Wen opened his eyes with a loud laugh, saw the red-haired man sitting by the window, and stopped abruptly, subconsciously rubbing his eyes.

Hervy sat on the chair by the window, her head tilted to one side, her face sour and looking very unhappy.

It wasn't a hallucination; Hervi, who had been missing for over half a month, had gone back to rummage through his bedroom balcony!

"President, you're finally back."

Ignoring Herwi's displeased expression, Gawain jumped off the bed, intending to give her a long-awaited hug, but Herwi glared at him and he quickly withdrew his hand by the bedside.
