Chapter 113: Alcohol Is the Problem

──────

An enormous haul of rewards.

That just showed how big an event this school trip had been.

Lying sprawled across the bed, I counted through the stacked notifications one by one.

Ding-!

[Main Quest]

-Title: Disaster from the Deep Sea

-Details: Infiltrate the Cult branch hidden in the deep sea.

[You wiped out the branch through your remarkable efforts!]

-Rewards have been issued. Please check your status window.

The main quest.

I’d cleared a big one.

‘If you asked me to do it twice, I couldn’t.’

It had gone smoothly thanks to all the groundwork I’d laid, but in the original work, this event had caused casualties in the tens of thousands.

And I’d stopped that disaster with zero civilian casualties. With only six people.

Perhaps the status window had highly valued that, because it showered me with rewards.

It felt like it had thrown in a few more than what had been announced beforehand.

With a satisfied smile, I claimed all the rewards at once.

Ding-!

[You have cleared the Linked Quest ‘What Lies Buried Beneath.’]

[You have obtained 10,000 Merit Points.]

[Additional points will be awarded as a special reward.]

[You have obtained 15,000 Merit Points.]

[Remaining Merit Points: 26,083]

‘Now that’s nice.’

My point wallet had gotten absurdly fat with a single click.

Combined with my existing points, it had passed 26,000.

That was more than the total number of points I’d invested in the [Saint] System so far.

Of course, considering I’d saved an entire city in this incident, even that might have seemed like a small amount...

‘The Saint System only awards points for direct acts of salvation.’

The system assigned no value to lives saved on a broad scale.

In other words, even if I prevented an incident, it wouldn’t calculate points for everyone who would have died in it.

Merit Points only accumulated when I helped people already in danger. Those who had not yet been endangered didn’t qualify.

By that same logic, I shouldn’t have been able to earn any points from this incident.

‘This incident only involved broad salvation. There was no immediate salvation involved.’

I’d saved tens of thousands of people, yet received nothing for it.

Had it taken that into account?

The status window had apparently included it as a quest reward.

Thanking it for its flexible judgment, I operated the Saint System.

[Remaining Merit Points: 26,083]

My hand moved without hesitation.

I’d decided where to invest the points long ago.

Ding-!

[Merit Points will be used.]
