The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"And the design of the clothing—the completely naked look—I handled that all by myself."

Arthur said proudly, soliciting recognition for his contribution.

"..." Silence fell on the other end for a moment, then came a voice, grudging and through gritted teeth, "Come up here, I've prepared a surprise for you."

This must be the time for rewards for services.

"What kind of surprise?"

"Experience the second circuit for one day."

Merlin was able to control the intensity of the second circuit; it was time to give the lad a one-day heads-up.

Arthur didn't understand, but it sounded prestigious, and anything awarded by the God of Law had to be a good thing!

"May I ask what level of surprise this is?" Arthur inquired curiously.

"It's of a holy level." Merlin thought to himself that the lad was quite composed.

At the mention of this, Arthur's spirits soared. It seemed His Excellency Merlin liked to be secretive, keeping such a big surprise under wraps.

Arthur, emboldened, said, "Your Excellency Merlin, since I have accomplished such a great feat, isn't just one day a bit too little?"

No matter what this second circuit was, surely more was better!

The silence on the other end resumed once more, deathly still. Merlin had never seen someone so arrogant before.

You're courting death!

"How many days do you want then?"

"Four days," Arthur replied, thinking the exam in four days might benefit from this.

"You have a week," Merlin said generously.

Arthur was overjoyed; His Excellency the Archmage handled things so generously, instantly increasing the reward sevenfold—truly an awe-inspiring, domineering presence. He was in a rush to receive his award now, bowing to the surrounding journalists,

"Excuse me, His Excellency Merlin has summoned me through a telepathic message. I have pressing matters to attend to! I must take my leave."

His announcement sparked a new uproar.

The saints looked at Arthur in amazement, never expecting that this gentleman would receive yet another summons from His Excellency Merlin.

The journalists eagerly asked for Arthur's full name, "Could you provide us with your contact information?"

"Just call me An Su Moningsta," Arthur replied with an easy smile, a righteous man who naturally wanted to share the good reputation with his dear friend.

Last time during the interview, only Brother Su hadn't left a name, which had been a regret for Arthur.

As soon as he said this, saints across the country were shocked again, thinking so this was the legendary An Su Moningsta.

The name An Su was well known even among saints outside the Imperial Capital.

You motherf****r...

An Su was staring at this guy, but revealed a gentle smile.

Wearing a confident smile, Arthur walked into the hall under the admiring gazes of all, chest puffed out in pride, ready to find Merlin and claim his reward. As he approached the staircase, he saw Brother Su and greeted him warmly, Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

"Brother Su, I have a big secret to tell you. Lister and I have done a great service; His Excellency Merlin is going to reward us handsomely!"

"Congratulations." An Su applauded, genuinely happy for Arthur.

Pleased with the applause, Arthur said with great generosity,

"After giving it some thought, Brother Su, you've always treated me well. Although you didn't lift a finger in this affair, I'll put in a good word for you with His Excellency Merlin and share a bit of the credit with you!"

Like giving Brother Su a day of the reward.

Since he had an entire week to experience it, giving Brother Su a day was no big deal.

Surely Brother Su would be overwhelmed with gratitude, bowing his head in respect.

"I must confess, it's really nothing special,"

Arthur boasted to An Su nonchalantly, "It's just that 'second circuit' thing—whatever that is. It's not something valuable, ha-ha, it's just at the holy level. Brother Su, you don't need to be too envious, ha-ha."

"...Congratulations," An Su congratulated Arthur again.

"If Brother Su really envies me, I can give you a day and a half!" Arthur offered magnanimously, reveling in the unique pleasure of being seen as a saint among men.

"No need," An Su said, with a strained smile, "Keep it all for yourself."

"Why be so formal between brothers?" Arthur struck his chest in a noble gesture, "Just wait for the good news from me."

Who the hell is being formal with you.

You're not being formal when it comes to using my name?

An Su's smile barely concealed his irritation, waving his hand as if nobly refusing,

"You jest, An Su Moningsta is utterly uninvolved with any of this grand tribute. This is all your well-deserved credit, Arthur."

"Then fine. Since you said so, don't regret it later."

Arthur sighed. Brother Su was always so falsely modest. Hmmph, he really had no idea what he'd missed out on. Arthur straightened his clothes and climbed the steps with his head held high.

Truly a day that brought honor to his ancestors!

His father, far away on the frontier, would surely be proud and boastful of his son when he heard the news!
