Chapter 174 - 92: Racing Girl
“Haha… I’m astonished to have received an A- in such a high-difficulty
alternate dimension.”
-I got a B. Oh… I pulled a special card, ‘Witch’s Silver Potion Formula”.” “Ah… I only got a B-. But the card I drew wasn’t bad. I got ranger-exclusive materials.”

The evaluations of Tracy and the others for clearing the game were also quite good.
Liam Martinez got A-, Tracy got B, and Alison got B-.
And since they were teammates who fought together with Leonard Churchill, they all had the evaluations of “Werewolf Slayer” and “Rare Survivor”. With the additional hidden plot, they had a high probability of pulling high-quality cards.
In the end, the rewards they all received were pretty good.
Through their conversation, Leonard finally realized that he doesn’t seem to be extremely lucky.
Instead, it appears that the higher the completion rating, the higher the probability of getting profession-specific rewards in the alternate dimension.
Besides the various hidden chances added by the descriptive words, he was
able to pull two skill cards.
Is this… better than the basic guarantee?
The actual extremely lucky one is the lady with the pigtails.
She drew another hidden card!
Overall, it appears that everyone had a fruitful harvest, and their faces were filled with joy.
At that moment, while holding a skill card, Liam Martinez pouted and grumbled, “Ah… I only drew a ‘Skill- Intermediate Fighting Specialization’. Too bad my own fighting techniques have already reached an advanced specialty…
Normally, drawing a skill card would be considered a great fortune.
But if it’s not suited to the person, then it’s quite a frustrating situation.
While talking, he turned his head to look at Leonard and asked, “Leonard, do you need this card? If you do, it’s yours.”
Leonard was a bit surprised to hear this.
The sudden act of kindness caught him off guard.
Indeed, this card is very much needed by him, so he replied straightforwardly:
“I do.”
An intermediate skill cultivation card could be sold for nearly ten million, and it could fetch an even higher price at an auction as it is an intermediate combat skill card, which fighters commonly use.
The most important thing is that Intermediate skill cards and above are almost always bought by the noble families. Leonard couldn’t buy them even if he wanted to.
He also didn’t expect that someone would casually offer it as a gift.
With these words, Liam directly handed over the card in his hand: “I can’t use
this, so I’m giving it to you.”
“This…”
Leonard was somewhat reluctant to accept it.
He had already received far too many valuable items while in the alternate dimension.
Things like the Relic Hider, Werewolf Materials, Curse+Ceramic Jar, Shadow of the Lamp, Mithril ore, etc…
All of these were priceless.
Moreover, all these were not his merits alone.
Without a team, he would absolutely not have been able to obtain that many valuable items.
Leonard was not the kind of person who could comfortably take advantage of others.
He had initially planned on splitting the spoils with everyone during the settlement.
But Tracy, Alison, and Liam never asked about it from start to finish. Now, they were even gifting him a valuable card?
With a smile, seeing through his hesitation, Tracy spoke: “Mr. Leonard
Churchill, please accept it.”
Alison also waved her hand dismissively, saying, “Yeah, don’t be shy.”
While Leonard felt like he shouldn’t be taking so much, Tracy and the others saw it from a different perspective.
To them, their successful completion of the A-rank difficulty in the alternate dimension was purely due to being “carried” by Leonard.
Previously, back at Windmill Inn, Tracy had mentioned how beneficial it would be to encounter a puzzle-master like Leonard in order to navigate through difficult scenarios more easily.
Indeed, it turned out to be an understatement.
It was not just making it “easier”, it was the fact that without Leonard, it was simply impossible.
If it weren’t for Leonard collaborating with them this time, it would have been strenuous for them just to clear a B-rank difficulty, let alone the sudden appearance of an A-rank difficulty.
From the moment they decided to carry out the insane plan of exterminating all the werewolves in the mine, every single step afterwards Leonard led the battle strategy.
Every time, they found afterward that his decisions were the correct ones.
They were the only and the most rational choices.
Especially when they killed the A-rank catastrophe. If it weren’t for Leonard risking his life at the end, the three of them would have certainly died in the alternate dimension.
They wouldn’t have even been able to discuss any kind of rewards. So in reality, no matter what spoils of war Leonard took, they wouldn’t object.
The three of them firmly believed
That all of this was what he deserved.
Liam even felt that the card he offered was nowhere near enough to express his feelings of gratitude.
He had saved their lives, especially those of his two teammates. Such a favor was simply priceless.
Recognizing their sincerity, Leonard didn’t refuse any more.
He accepted the card and directly used it. The peculiar sensation surged into his brain, and the fighting specialization status on his panel changed to “Intermediate”.
The exit of the space had already appeared.
This was one or two hours earlier than the normal three-day limit.
It’s not wise to stay in the space for a long time. Leonard thought for a moment, then said, “After we get out, everyone should be careful. It’s very likely that this alternate dimension will collapse.”
Tracy was surprised and asked, “Collapse?”
“Yes.”
Leonard nodded.
Alternate dimensions don’t only disappear if they get an S-rank evaluation. If it gets used too often, or certain key treasures are taken, they can also vanish. The “Greedy Mining Well”, somehow managed to tick both of these boxes, so Leonard guessed that there was a high probability of it collapsing.
But this might be better, as the exit location would then be random.
Leonard didn’t elaborate further.
Liam and the others didn’t ask any more questions either.
In any case, they weren’t going to return to this place. If it collapses, so be it. Moreover,
If they really manage to escape alive, the members of the Black Wolf Group will definitely not let them leave alive and “ruin their reputation”. They will certainly look to silence them.
There might even be a fierce battle waiting for them.
If the space really collapses, it might actually be more convenient. Leonard added, “Just in case we’re still in the camp at that time. You guys stay quiet for now. Wait for my signal to take action..”
