Chapter 46: Another SR"Thank you for everything."
Liam bowed deeply. Behind him stood the mayor and many of the townspeople, all gathered at the north gate of Lily Town to see us off. Today, we were setting out toward Rose City.
We made the decision after our conversation with the mayor last night. He said something which sound...off. According to him, the attack happened just a few days after he rejected a proposal from the city, a deal that would’ve allowed them to buy control over the town and dictate the flow of its farm harvests. In return, the city promised a fixed monthly payment. The timing felt too convenient. The mayor suspected foul play.
To me, it sounded like a classic corporate land grab...just in this world they used swords and magics instead of contracts and lawyers.
"It’s okay, man. How many times are you guys going to thank us?" Bob said, waving lazily.
He acted like he didn’t care for praise, but the goofy grin on his face said otherwise. Honestly, if they built a statue of him in the village square, he’d probably cry from happiness.
Just as we were about to climb onto the cart, a familiar voice called out.
"Wait!"
It was Tania, hurrying over with a small package in each hand. She handed each of us a wooden box bento-style meals.
Bob’s eyes sparkled like he’d just discovered treasure.
"Thank you, Tania. I hope we meet again," I said with a smile.
Bob just stood there, speechless. That was probably the happiest face I’d ever seen him.
Soon after, our ride arrived, a wooden cart pulled by two sturdy horses. It creaked as it came to a halt. The driver, a man from the city, nodded at us. This was a regular transport service that came to Lily Town three times a week.
We hopped on, waving one last time at the people who had become part of our journey.
It felt like something straight out of a drama, villagers leaving their humble beginnings behind, setting off for the big city in
"Alan! Let’s open the Level Up reward!" Bob shouted from across the cart, practically glowing with excitement.
"You go ahead," I said, eyes still on the shop. "I want to buy a booster pack."
"You sure? Don’t come crying when I pull an SR and you get nothing but trash." He gave me a smug grin.
"And don’t sulk when yours turns out to be garbage," I shot back with a smirk.
Bob opened his Level Up Reward. A pack materialized in his hand, same design as before: red with a white dragon curling around it. He tore it open and peeked inside, then slowly looked up at me, took a deep breath, and flipped the card over with a dramatic flair.
Golden light burst out.
"NO WAY, IT’S AN SR!" we shouted in unison, practically bouncing off the cart. We celebrated like lunatics until the cart driver coughed pointedly behind us.
"Ah, sorry!" we both said at once, quickly sitting back down.
I leaned over. "So, what card did you get?"
"Uhh... it says it’s a Dungeon Card?" Bob tilted his head in confusion.

Thornroot Hollow
Rarity: Super Rare (SR)
Type: Dungeon
Theme: Forest Labyrinth
---
Description:
Thornroot Hollow is a cursed grove overrun by sentient flora and twisting paths. Once a sacred glade tended by druids and dryads, it was overtaken by a primal force of vengeance after the forest was desecrated by invaders. The forest grew wild and hateful, sealing itself off from the world and forming an impenetrable, living labyrinth.

"This card is good, right?" I asked Bob, squinting at the glowing SR card in his hands.
"Of course it is! It’s an SR!" Bob defended it, puffing up with pride.
...
Silence.
"Arghhh! I really wanted a new weapon!" Bob groaned, burying his face in both hands.
Even though it was an SR card, it turned out to be a dungeon card, not something we could equip or use immediately.
Still, I stayed optimistic. "If we enter that dungeon, we might get lots of good loot and cards, right?"
"Ermm" Bob mumbled.
This guy was fully in sulk mode now.
Just then, a new notification popped up in front of me:
[You have pulled 10 cards! Tap the box to receive your prize!]
The jumping gift box was back, practically begging me to press it. I tapped it without hesitation.
[You received 1000 BP!]
"Hehh... this system’s actually a bit generous," I muttered. "Even if it’s a sneaky point-grabber."
With our total BP now nearing 5000, it was finally my turn to pull cards.
