After speaking for so more with the mayor, mainly about the town's current situation, he was promptly dismissed.
The mayor was a busy man and they are the sole authoritative in their respective town.
For Mayor Adam to spend so much ti conversing with Xu Feng was already a blessing.
As he exited the office, Sandy followed behind and smiled lightly.
"You've made quite the achievent, Baron Lin Feng," Sandy comnted.
"It's still thanks to your recomndation and Herbalist Elias' trust in ." Xu Feng shook his head and denied taking all the credit.
He doubted the reward would actually be that amazing had it not been for their involvent. After all, the mayor never saw him personally.
Additionally, the insurgent wasn't done by him alone, but many more involved. Yet even so, those who quenched the other insurgent hideout didn't receive any recognition or reward, which had raised his suspicions.
His thod could be considered employing others to do the task on his behalf, yet Mayor Adam only praised him, neglecting everyone else.
He would truly be ignorant if he were to believe the mayor was soone naive or foolish to not understand this matter.
"You don't have to thank
too much." Sandy calmly replied. "I suppose you are going to depart for the city soon, and I must warn you. The city is far more complicated and dangerous than the town."
"Indeed, I have a lot of things to do." Xu Feng didn't have much to do in the town since the scope and field were very limited. This was the reason why he didn't pay much attention to the dungeon raiding or anything else.
As for becoming a noble in the town, the benefit might be nice, but it just wasn't great. Not to ntion, he got the Baron status handed over to him for free, saving him the decision to take on town reputation quests.
Soti later, Xu Feng followed Sandy, who proceeded to bring him to the vault.
"What are we doing here?" Confused, Xu Feng inquired about her intention.
"Mayor Adam might have rewarded you, but I haven't yet." Sandy coolly explained, opening the vault door.
"Eh?" Dumbfounded, Xu Feng was clearly lost by her explanation.
Despite the confusion, he still entered the vault, seemingly curious about Sandy's intention.
As they entered, Sandy began browsing through before picking a pendant-like accessory. It was sowhat rusty, a clear definition that it had been sitting in the dust for a while.
Sandy blew off so of the dust on the pendant. "Don't look at this pendant as outdated. This is just a sealed item, but once unsealed, I bet you would treasure this to no end."
"Sealed?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.
The word sealed was not an uncommon term in the Divine World. To be more precise, any godly items are usually sealed and require so unsealing thod to bring out their true potential.
The only problem?
These types of unsealing are usually a pain in the butt to accomplish.
"I'd rather pass, Sandy." Xu Feng raised his hand and wanted to refuse her goodwill. "I don't have the ti to unseal the item."
If the rusty pendant was able to make its way to the vault that contained nurous great items, yet left unattended for so long. It ant that the unsealing thod was so tedious and difficult.
He had enough tasks to do than to add more. Biting more than you can chew was the worst decision one could make. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-
"Don't be so quick to reject," Sandy giggled and handed the pendant to him.
"The unsealing thod is fairly simple, but those people with their clever minds would never be able to co up with the thod. They are too smart for their own good, after all."
"You an I can unseal it right now?"
"Well, not quite… the sun is still up."
As soon as she finished saying that, Xu Feng received a system prompt.

Astonished, Xu Feng's eyes were glued to the unsealing thod and wondered if the system got it wrong.
He turned to Sandy and asked, "Is it really that simple?"
"Of course," Sandy shrugged and laughed. "The irony here lies in the simplicity of this thod, as many seekers of the pendant's power overlook it, believing a more complex ritual is required."
"B-But how did you know about this?"
"Ahem, let's not ask sothing we should not ask, okay?"
With that being said, Xu Feng realized he needed to re-evaluate what he knew about Sandy.
It appeared that she was more than just your typical receptionist.
'No wonder she had a rapport status. As expected… nothing could ever be that coincidental.' Xu Feng thought, feeling a sense of danger emitted from her when she warned him not to pry further.
"Anyway, do you enjoy my reward more than Mayor Adam?" Sandy subsequently asked, her smile carrying a hint of malice.
anwhile, Xu Feng adjusted his glasses and chuckled softly. He was never one to give in to threats, especially when they flashed a malicious smile.
"Naturally, I love your reward more than Mayor Adam. No, this reward of yours can't even be compared to his, Sandy." Xu Feng responded, not an ounce of sha could be detected.
