My stats are higher than yours!

Bai Shuodong racked his brains, trying to figure it out.

Then he asked.

"I have a question. Since the goal of clearing the game is to defeat the Demon King, if there are problems with the kingdom itself, will it affect clearing the game and the final reward?"

[A: No, the only standard for passing is defeating the Demon King. The reward is based on the total amount of Courage Points you gain during the process.]

I finally found it!

New World!

"Oh~"

Bai Shuodong spoke meaningfully, his smile widening. He made a vow gesture again and shouted:

"I hereby make a solemn vow: I promise to eliminate all the nobles of the Kingdom of Heckler who oppress the people before I complete the trial!"

"As long as there is even one Heckler Kingdom noble here who can bully the common people before I complete the trial, I will not receive even a single reward!"

Oh!

This adds a lot to your courage!

It seems that because nobles can only know a person's face but not their heart, it is extremely difficult to accurately eliminate all the evil nobles. Therefore, Bai Shuodong was given a full 30 points of courage.

Bai Shuodong gave a wicked smile.

"Hehe...hahaha...hehehehe!"

Bai Shuodong smiled as he looked at the award for courage, and then began to swear an oath with practiced ease.

"I hereby make a solemn vow: after I complete my trial, the people of the Kingdom of Heckler will never again be plagued by bandits and robbers..."

"I will make a grand vow here..."

"I will be here..."

"I will..."

Bai Shuodong stepped out of the small house, exuding a terrifying aura of a powerful figure.

An ordinary farmer happened to pass by him, his face showing a worried expression. He seemed very troubled. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be one of the people assigned to the trial.

So Bai Shuodong took the initiative to walk up to him and asked with a warm smile, "Uncle, is something bothering you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

The villager glanced at him, but then sighed and said, "You can't help."

"Tell me about it first."

“A group of bandits recently came to the mountains south of our village. They had asked our village for protection money before. Yesterday, we didn’t pay in full, and the bandit leader was very angry. He said that we must pay the money tomorrow, or he would slaughter our entire village.”

The villager looked up into the distance, his expression growing increasingly distressed, and said, "Those bandits are very strong. They are much stronger than us villagers. Even if we fight desperately, we can't possibly defeat them. It's too difficult."

"It's alright, I'll take care of it."

Bai Shuodong stretched his body, turned around and walked towards the bandit's den in the south, while subconsciously muttering to himself.

"This band of bandits is very strong for a newcomer who has just entered the trial, but it doesn't matter. I will make a great vow to wipe them out by myself, without the help of any villagers or the use of any traps or equipment. I will defeat them all by my own strength!"

"If I cannot complete this, I will forfeit all the rewards and resources I have obtained in the trial!"

After a long time, there was no further movement.

"hateful!"

"Why wasn't there a prompt for a courageous act!"

"Going solo from the start, without teammates or any strategy, am I not brave enough?"

Chapter 40 My stats are above yours!!

Namsan

Surrounded by green pines, the simple village nestled among the trees looked like it had just been built by the bandits. The mountain path outside the village stretched down to the main road in the distance.

There were two rows of fences along the main road, just enough to stop passing vehicles; they seemed to be specifically designed to block caravans.

Bai Shuodong arrived here carrying an iron sword.

Soon, two patrolling bandits carrying short knives suddenly sprang out from behind the trees, blocking the road with their knives across the middle, one on the left and one on the right. One of them even grinned and whistled, seemingly as some kind of signal.

"Hey, all alone? What kind of little punk is this, knowing to pass by your grandpa's place..."

"Shh!"

A cold glint flashed, and the bandit's arm flew off instantly, blood splattering everywhere.

At that moment, because Bai Shuodong's sword strike was too fast and too sudden, he did not feel pain immediately, but only felt as if something was missing.
