Chapter 111 Triumphant Return (4)
When it came time to commend the top-ranked hero, the city lord rose.
He seemed intent on presenting the award personally.
But the reward that came from his mouth far exceeded my expectations.
“If there’s anything you desire, speak it.”
It was a blank check.
Excitement surged through me, causing my pupils and nostrils to dilate unconsciously, while dopamine began flooding my brain.

‘Wait, this?’
I have to choose wisely, right?
Realizing it was a tougher problem than expected, my excitement instantly deflated.
Asking for something absurdly huge and getting rejected would be worse than not asking at all, but asking for something small would leave me regretting it for the rest of my life.
‘Hmm… Should I just ask for about ten million?’
In modern terms, that’s worth about ten billion won.
I quickly ran the numbers in my head, but it still seemed impossible.
‘Is that too much?’
No matter how great my contribution, they wouldn’t just hand over a hundred billion so easily.
‘Should I ask for treasure instead of money, even if it’s less liquid? Or pick something based on what others are asking for?’
Just as I was agonizing over this…
“I’d like the iron ore mine west of Guryong Mountain.”
Kwangcheol Daeju spoke with the expression of a gym rat discovering a brand-new, fully equipped fitness center.
He had chosen a reward just like himself.
