"Wait a minute… so you're telling that even after being ranked so high, all you got was just twenty points of reputation?!"
Looking at Robin's unbelievable expression, Emilia couldn't help but giggle. "I did only just 'enter' the rankings, after all. And we can't underestimate the value of these twenty points."
The reputation value of players and non-players alike was asured from zero to a hundred, with zero being completely 'unremarkable' or 'unknown' to most people to a hundred being soone who was practically worshipped and followed blindly.
Of course, the reputation score of an individual varied from region to region, but that went without saying. Until one hit ten points, their reputation simply showed 'The Unknown', and changed to 'The Beginner' at ten, and 'The Well-Known' at twenty.
Although being a 'ranker' only gave her these 'asly' twenty points of reputation, it was a 'universal' incrent to her reputation given that the 'ranking' was followed by all the major kingdoms. She beca 'well-known' in almost every region of Arcadia in an instant!
Not to ntion, getting to the required 'fifty' points for the main quest would also be a lot easier with this boost.
It was a pity that the kills within the arena didn't count towards the 'Unique Monsters' required for upgrading her [Wisdom of the Forest], or she could have already gotten its [Vigilance] to level two. But as it was, the count was still stuck on five out of ten.
Danielle humd thoughtfully. "If it is as you expect, and this incrent of twenty points is actually good, doesn't that an that we were just wasting ti collecting all those demonic cores for the Traders Guild?"
Emilia grinned. "I don't think so at all. Being able to establish a relationship with the Traders Guild should prove to be of good use later, and didn't they promise us so good rewards anyway?"
The rest of her team also recalled the rewards for the material-gathering quest, and couldn't help but nod.
"Compared to the complete set of [Grey] quality gear promised by the adventurer's guild, that thing's really much more useful." Crystal smiled.
Of course, everyone knew that she must be talking about the free attribute potions, but didn't ntion it to prevent their 'secret' from leaking to the masses.
Emilia just smiled. "Right? The day's almost over, so let's get to the inn and log out first. Then we can submit the materials we gathered tomorrow."

Although the number of people watching Emilia and her team's livestreams wasn't as high as it had been before the 'secret' of Arcadia was leaked, the topic of 'new features and content' in the ga world was naturally very popular, and it didn't take long for hundreds of articles and nurous news stories to spread their 'exploits' all around.
Of course, as the one most concerned about this 'unexpected rival', the hero was no exception. The mont he exited from the ga, one of his friends who had been tasked with keeping tabs on all the 'remarkable' opponents he recognized filled him in on what happened.
"So she's not only good at discovering secrets, but is also an excellent fighter… huh." Darryl humd thoughtfully. "My ho country seed to have really given birth to a 'gem' again."
When he realized that things weren't exactly going according to his plan after the release of Arcadia, Darryl had obviously been extrely disturbed and rattled, and made so hasty decisions.
As the only one who knew of its secret, he was supposed to be the 'first' and 'best' in everything from that point on, he thought. That was how it should have been!
But Darryl didn't beco the world-renowned genius by being a conceited fool who couldn't control his own emotions, and quickly ca back to his senses, and started fixing his mistakes.
To get the cooperation of Welkin and its authorities, misleading them with so 'secrets' was just right, anyway, and it would also accelerate the growth of his supporters later on.
Moreover, the road to the top could never be easy, and Darryl was sure that he would have to crush quite a few stepping stones on the way there.
According to that thing, Arcadia would usher in the age of heroes, so how could things be so easy? If he really wanted to be the very best, he would have to be not only diligent, but also smart.
Since it was certain that he would be facing countless obstacles on his way to success, having just the few 'followers' he currently had was far from enough.
It was a pity that fate didn't allow him to keep the secret of Arcadia to himself for long enough, or he would have definitely tried to pull Emilia over to his side.
Having soone like Emilia, who was both lucky and skilled, would definitely make his job a lot easier. Of course, he would have to ta her first, but Darryl had never had much trouble with that sort of thing. Even if she was much smarter than she looked, there was no infallible human in this world.
Most people were too weak to sweet words, after all. And if they ca from soone they already admired, the effect those words had on them would be even greater. For a young girl like Emilia, he just needed to figure out her one point of weakness, and all her defenses would co crumbling down.
As it was, though, Karamine would never allow one of their 'best' players to leave the country now. Not until they were sure that the impact of Arcadia on the human body was 'greatly exaggerated', at least.
But just because he couldn't pull her over to his side yet didn't an that Emilia was of no 'use' to Darryl at the mont. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
While his own country was being so uncooperative, a tool like Emilia, who was mostly unrelated to him and could easily be discarded, was exactly what Darryl needed.
He couldn't help but grin. "Tell Colman to co and et right away… I have a new task for him."
