"Ding! The selection conditions are completed, and the reward is 2% completion of the Garp template."

As the voice in his head sounded, the completion of the Garp template increased from 5% to 7%.

Although Jason is not entirely clear at the moment, this 7% refers to 7% of Garp's peak strength, and there are still other standards for judging.

However, the swelling feeling of strength in his body is real, and the muscles throughout his entire body have become stronger.

If he could crush a wooden stick at will before, now Jason felt that even if he had a stone in his hand, with his current strength, he could easily crush it to pieces.

Crushing stones may sound easy, but this is no longer something ordinary humans can do.

The feeling of this power is amazing, and at the same time, his spirit is also lifted.

"It hurts~~~"

At this moment, Motoyasu woke up slowly under the treatment of several robed men.

Still confused about the situation, he clutched his chest with his right hand. Although the injury was treated, he could still feel a dull pain in this area.

"Hey~~~ Why am I lying here? What happened?"

Motoyasu noticed that everyone in the hall seemed to be looking at him.

Suddenly his face changed, and he abruptly remembered that he was still fighting Jason just moments ago. He immediately jumped up from the ground, pointing the spear in his hand at Jason: "Let's continue!"

At this moment, Motoyasu noticed the people in the hall looking at him strangely.

"Could it be... I've already lost?"

He frowned tightly, looking at the sticky blood stains on his body, and finally guessed the answer.

"That's right, one punch knocked you out in seconds. You didn't even have room to struggle, and you fell to the ground instantly."

Ren patted him on the shoulder very directly, without any euphemism.

Hearing this, Motoyasu recalled that before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have been punched by Jason.

"Jason..."

Motoyasu turned his head to look at Jason with a complicated expression and wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak.

Jason was also looking at him, thinking to himself: "Recovered so quickly? Is the healing technique in this world too powerful, or did I cause too little damage to him? Because of the limitation of the Shield Hero class's physical attack power? Or is there some kind of novice protection?"

Jason can't think of the answer for the time being, but he can already determine the way forward.

The Shield Hero's attack power is really not good, but it has super strong defense power. As long as the completion of the Garp template is gradually improved, then his own attack power can still be increased, and even break through the limitations of the Shield Hero class. No... Even in this world, no one will be able to do anything to him.

Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, gods block and kill gods.

While Jason was still thinking, Itsuki had already walked to the center of the hall.

"From the battle between Jason and Motoyasu just now, it can be seen that he really didn't use his full strength in the competition with Myne, so Jason... didn't deliberately beat Myne like that."

Maybe it's due to Itsuki personality, or maybe it's because he wants to express himself, but that's beside the point.

Jason was not surprised by this, because he knew Itsuki didn't mean to help him, but to pursue what he thought was justice.

Listening to his words, the king's face was livid.

If he admits it, it means that Jason hurt his precious daughter, and he can't make him pay the price, which is extremely painful for him.

"Damn Shield Hero, I will tear you to pieces!"

The king gritted his teeth and thought, and when he was about to speak, Ren Amaki also came to the center of the hall.

"I agree with Itsuki statement. Jason's battle with Motoyasu Kitamura has improved both in terms of speed and strength compared to before, so I think Jason did not lie, and it was just an accidental injury to Myne."

Compared to Itsuki, Ren spoke very calmly.

His words were still what the king did not want to hear.

The king suddenly stood up from the throne, as if he was about to scold him, but the man in the long robe came to him, and after saying something in a low voice, the king sat down in a somewhat dejected manner.

"Alright, I understand. If that's the case, then I won't hold the Shield Hero accountable," the king said weakly.

Of course, Jason didn't think the king had suddenly discovered his conscience. Obviously, the man in the robe felt that now that Ren and Itsuki were on Jason's side, if they fought against three heroes at the same time, the result would not be very good, so he advised the king to endure it for now.

Even if the king is unwilling, the etiquette on the surface must still be followed. Jason then said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

These words might seem a little flattering at ordinary times, but at this time, they were extremely harsh to the king's ears, and he immediately snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

Jason didn't care about it and continued: "Since the manpower you need is ready, there should be some money for us to use. After all, going out for food, accommodation, etc. requires money."

Hearing this, the king almost didn't catch his breath, and was so angry that he nearly passed out.

Damn, you hurt my precious daughter, and you still want to ask me for money!

Isn't this cheeky too thick?

Is there any reason?

"Jason is right, it takes money to bring so many people to the hotel to eat."

"Yeah... If you take advantage of your status as a hero and eat and drink for free, it's really not good!"

Ren and Itsuki chimed in.

As for Motoyasu Kitamura, who was instantly knocked out by Jason with a single punch, he is now doubting his life and did not participate.

The king's facial muscles were twitching visibly, and it took a long time for him to recover.

"Of course, the support funds have been prepared."

The king said, and gave the officials below a look.

The officials understood immediately, and after leaving for a while, handed some bags to Jason and the others.

Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki are worth 600 silver coins each, while Jason's bag is obviously much smaller than theirs, containing only 100 silver coins.

"Ding! Please choose!"

"1: Accept the king's support money, there is no reward for cowards."

"2: Ask the king for more support money, the amount reaches 300 silver coins, and rewards double experience cards for 1 hour."

"3: Ask the king for more support money, the amount reaches 800 silver coins, and rewards double experience cards for 6 hours."

At the same time, the voice of choice sounded in Jason's mind.

After Jason weighed the money bag in his hand for a while, he poured out the silver coins in the bag.

The silver coins hit the ground and made a crisp and sweet sound like clattering, which stimulated everyone's eardrums at the same time.

After looking down at the pile of silver coins scattered on the ground, Jason raised his head, his sharp eyes looked straight at the king on the throne without any scruples:

"It seems that there are only about 100 pieces here. Why is my support fund relatively small? Your Majesty, please explain a little bit."

In fact, Jason certainly understood that it was the king who deliberately tripped him up. The look he gave the official just now said everything.

In the original story, although the king gave Naofumi Iwatani more support money on the surface, he was secretly cheated by Myne, who instead beat him back.

Because now Myne has been injured by Jason, this kind of thing can't happen again.

However... it seems that the direction of the plot was repaired by some kind of force, and turned into a king who deliberately deducted a part of the support money because he was unhappy with Jason.

It seems that Jason's current situation is much better than that of Naofumi Iwatani.

But Jason is not as weak as Naofumi Iwatani.

You must know that Jason's philosophy has always been implemented: I will not offend others if I am not attacked;

Even if there was no systematic choice, Jason would not hesitate to ask the king for more support funds, and he would collect part of the interest first.

Facing Jason's questioning, the king frowned.

He challenged his authority one after another, which made him extremely unhappy.

"Please also explain, Your Majesty the King!"

Seeing that the king didn't answer, Jason asked again, this time with a tougher tone.
