Just shortly after Chun closed his eyes, the system notification woke him up again.

Chun, still groggy, checked his badge info and saw a message from Sherry: "What are you doing? The mayor and elders are all dressed in suits with the officiant, flower children, and band heading to the inn!"

Chun was shocked, could it be… catching someone in the act? Making it a done deal? Holy shit, no such thing!

Should he go out and prove his innocence immediately? Or jump out the window!

Chun didn't even care about his crutches, and scrambled to the windowsill, it's just the 2nd floor…

Next moment, there was urgent knocking on the door!

I'm jumping!!

Jumping face-first, stars exploded across the screen in a dizzy blur!

——System Notification: Warning! You have taken fall damage, your body is temporarily numb and unable to move, immediate rest and recovery is required.

——System Notification: Your condition has worsened, the debilitating effect continues!

Holy shit! I was just starting to feel better…

At least a hundred errand players saw it: "Brother Chun jumped off the building!"

Chun was too stunned to move, he had to shout: "Quick, help me out!"

"We're coming!"

Aileen's laughter sounded in Chun's ear: "What's going on? The mayor wants to host a wedding for you and White! Why'd you run?"

Chun felt helpless: "Isn't this grabbing my handle to force a marriage? Why would I fall for it?"

Aileen laughed: "Maybe the mayor just appreciates you, and there's no ill intent?"

Chun was speechless: "Even if it's for marriage, can't it be more normal? This is too scary!"

Aileen laughed and said: "Alright, the mayor and others are gone, don't regret it."

Of course there's something fishy, why regret it?

But Chun was a bit torn.

Honestly, isn't this actually a wedding event triggered? If following a normal wedding process, sending flowers, improving friendships, completing test tasks to accumulate wedding funds, buying wedding rings and a house, isn't that several levels higher in difficulty? Once other players also compete by sending gifts and improving friendship, it's even harder…

I jumped without thinking, was I too rash? This pretty wife sent by the mayor was a good deal, marrying her would formally bring me into the village family… Overall, starting low in the village isn't a loss. Learning various ancestor skills would also be easier!

Or did I always have Fafnir in mind as my goal, not valuing the village flower? But the game is highly free, it never said you can only marry one!

Amid his conflict, Chun was carried to the square dance plaza, just in time to see a group of female trainees lazily chatting, completely ignoring Amy's serious demonstration at the front desk.

Chun looked at Sherry, who was also not seriously practicing. Noticing he was okay, she turned away pretending not to know him.

Okay, I need to find some excuse to chat face-to-face, at least to discuss the use of Magic Stones.

Just then, the mayor's entourage appeared; indeed, everyone dressed in formal wear, the scene was astonishing!

Then the legendary Mayor of Malagobi immediately spotted Chun, striding over under the watchful eyes of all the players, carrying a pair of crutches in his hand!

Chun was extremely nervous.

The mayor's expression wasn't good: "Mr. Chun!"

Chun awkwardly greeted: "Hello, Mayor!"

Speaking of which, this was the first time meeting. They hadn't even met yet, and they're sending me a wife, and I'm not grateful…

The mayor said in a deep voice: "You are quite famous and controversial, a rookie I admire! But now, I just want to see your ability. Did you receive White's task?"

Chun was nervous: "I did!"

The mayor threw down the crutches and left: "Bring results as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"

Holy shit! Could it be refusing a toast only to be forced into drinks, and now he's starting to make things difficult?

Aileen sighed: "White is still asleep, should we wait for her to wake up, or go now?"

I can't even walk right now!

But Chun didn't want to show inadequacy in front of the mayor and women: "She has taken medicine, let her sleep, I'll arrange a few people to support me."

Aileen laughed: "Then let Sherry support you! Never mind, I'll call her over."

Chun panicked: "Hey, don't mess around!"

Aileen laughed: "Look at what you're saying, you even took White's clothes off and slept in one bed, who's messing more than you?"

… She took them off herself, okay?

While they talked, the lazy female trainees suddenly started moving in unison. No need to say, Bilenna had shown up.

Bilenna scanned the crowd with extreme dissatisfaction: "I wasn't around for a while, and you don't learn properly! Forget it, Sherry, seeing you don't have the aptitude, stop struggling. Go accompany Mr. Chun to do the task."

Holy shit! You really are...

The players were in an uproar: "Brother Chun, need help with the task?"

Chun was polite in refusal: "No need, this is a hidden task, having NPCs is enough."

Feng Xingcuo also immediately announced in the village channel: "Everyone mind your own business, don't disturb Brother Chun!"

At this point, Sherry walked up with a suppressed smile, putting Chun's arm over her shoulder: "Support like this?"

It felt like embracing her, such a nice feeling!

"Just like this, first go to the blacksmith shop to buy a few herb hoes, then to the grocer to buy some wild camping tents, lights, pots, and dry food."

"Got it!"

Ready, Chun embraced Sherry and left the village following the task's map instructions.

Overall, the terrain of Southern Canyon Village is complex yet simple, it's like a chrysanthemum pattern created by a meteor impact, the village sits in the center, the smashed canyons radiate like petals, and the plagued forest is the farthest one, supposedly because the canyon's depth prevents ventilation, causing the plague gas accumulation.

Now that no one else was around, Chun couldn't help but sigh: "Sherry, when I was on the island, I missed you."

Sherry responded with mild irritation: "Earlier you called me dear!"

That seems to be the case! Isn't it out of fear that not meeting for ten days would estrange our relationship?

Chun corrected himself: "Dear, the task ahead involves plague gas, it's dangerous, you can only camp outside and wait for me. But if you get infected, I can treat you."

Sherry huffed: "As long as treatment's possible! Don't underestimate the progress I made during these days of learning, besides I have equipment—"

With that, she pulled out a bird-headed mask! It was the same medieval-style Crow Death God outfit she and Fafnir wore on the day of the plague exile!

Chun was taken aback: "So Fafnir gave that to you?"

Sherry proudly said: "Not given, a reward! I'm your mage employer, we share tasks, so I get rewards when you complete them! Including when you defeated the Plague King and the Fish King, I got rewards too. This is special equipment, there aren't more than ten sets in the whole city, and I chose this one. I was planning to personally go to the island to pick you up once you recovered enough, but Miss Fafnir said you made new progress, so I didn't need to go, so she sent me here…"

So that's it!

Aileen grumbled enviously: "Really annoying! I said, we're so dirty and tired in the sewers, and she does nothing yet…"

Holy shit! Don't butt in!
