After Flocke finished speaking, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. If it was possible, if he still had money, he would truly continue to pay.

However, these 500 gold coins had already emptied his savings. This was the rule of 500 gold coins per person for half an hour.

So, Flocke could only give up and leave the gym.

But feeling that all of this was truly unbelievable, Flocke couldn’t help but come to a piece of barren land. There were many granite rocks here. Flocke then muttered.

“Although I know that I’ve become stronger and that heavy pulldown machine has also been pulled to 4 centimeters, all of this is truly unbelievable, truly like an illusion. No, I have to test my strength with a giant rock.”

He found the largest piece of granite in the open space. It was as tall as an adult man. He circled it and gestured with his hands. It had a width that his arms could not cover.

Flocke nodded. “Sure, let’s use it to test my strength.”

Flocke understood that if this granite had been in the past, his strength would not have been able to split it open. If he could split it open now, it would be enough to prove everything.

Thus, he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, stared at the rock, jumped up, and hacked at it.

There was a “zing” sound.

Flocke had already landed on the opposite ground. His back was facing the granite.

At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and felt the power coming from the sword. This remaining power made his palm feel numb.

“Phew.”

Flocke let out a long sigh.

What about the granite behind him? Flocke slowly turned around and saw that there was no more granite on the empty ground. It had been split open from the middle and the other half had been shattered into pieces.

Seeing this, Flocke was overjoyed. The smile on his face almost reached the back of his ears.

“Great! Great! This is the effect of the gym!”

To his extreme joy, he even threw his sword on the ground and cheered. Some of the citizens who were working around him were shocked when they saw this scene.

After a while, Flocke felt at ease. To a real fighter, only real strength could make him feel satisfied.

The pulldown machine might have more scientific evidence than this piece of granite, and it could more accurately determine where a person’s strength was coming from.

But with this proof, Flocke felt even more assured. It could be said that it gave him great confidence.

“I think that with my current strength, I should be able to receive exceptional missions, right?”

Flocke thought of this. In the past, he could only receive ordinary missions at most. But now, not to mention the difficulty, even if it was exceptional, he had the confidence to challenge it.

So, he planned to return to the guild of knights-errant to take missions.

In order not to waste time, he even ran, but this time, he discovered that something was unusual.

The gym and the guild of knights-errant were at least 6 kilometers apart. Even if he rode a horse, he would need at least half an hour to arrive.

In the end, Flocke could actually arrive within 30 minutes. This was something he did not dare to believe before. Moreover, he did not feel tired at all!

“It seems that my endurance and speed have also increased. It must be the effect of the gym again!”

Flocke laughed secretly.

However, it was almost evening, and the sun was about to set.

The guild of knights-errant was also about to close, which meant that all the missions could only be distributed the next day.

Usually, when it was close to evening, there would be no knights-errant in the delivery hall, but there were still a lot of people who wanted to try their luck.

They did not have much strength. They could only go to the dispatch area to pick up some missions that others did not want when the sun was about to set. Many knights-errant had already failed this type of mission, so they were placed last.

There were often unknown dangers, and the compensation was very low.

It could be said that those who had strength would be looked down upon, and those who did not have strength would not be able to do it.

On the square outside the receiving area, there were a few people gathered together. They were the people who wanted to take advantage of the evening to pick up missions.

“I wonder if I can pick up a better mission today, such as helping a noble lady find a cat or something.”

“Stop dreaming. You can’t pick up such a good mission.”

While these people were chatting, a man suddenly rushed in a hurry.

The staff didn’t expect that someone would come to pick up a mission even after the sun had set. They couldn’t help but be a little confused.

However, the staff did not forget about Flocke’s appearance, so she immediately recognized him. “Flocke, didn’t you already come here once today?”

The staff member then looked at his personal information in the guild. When she saw that the mission rate was still very high, she could not help but feel a little disdainful.

She thought that he was like the people in the square outside the receiving area and wanted to try his luck to accept some missions that others did not want.

Thus, her eyelids were not too cold as she said to Flocke, “There is a mission of getting to the cave to find the lost treasure. Do you want it?”

The cave. He seemed to have heard someone say it before. It was a difficult mission, wasn’t it?

Flocke frowned, but he continued to ask, “What is the mission level? What about the compensation?”

Flocke did not expect the staff member to hear it. The staff looked at him inexplicably but still answered, “Normal, 1 silver coin, 50 copper coins. Are you going to accept it?”

The staff thought that since Flocke was already there to receive the mission that other people did not want, why would he ask about the mission level?

Flocke looked unhappy. As a part of the knights-errant team, he knew about the evening mission. However, this was because this habit had already been formed, causing others to think that as long as knights-errant came in the evening, they were all unrated knights-errant.

However, no rule said that people who came in the evening could not accept high-level missions.

“This person must have never seen my strength!”

Flocke was not angry. He decided to show her his strength so that he would not waste his breath.

Therefore, he did not answer the staff and went to the square outside the hall.

Those unrated knights-errant had been observing everything inside just now, so they naturally heard the conversation between Flocke and the staff member. They were snickering!

At this moment, when they saw Flocke come out, they thought that he had been humiliated, so they went forward to talk to him.

“Brother, you…”

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he saw Flocke lift his greatsword and thrust it into the ground, only revealing the hilt of the sword.

This scene happened so suddenly that almost everyone was shocked.

“You, you, you…”

And the knight-errant who had intended to go up to Flocke and ridicule him was scared and speechless.

This scene was naturally seen by the staff in the hall. She was initially angry at Flocke for what had happened, but she left without saying anything. It was really rude.

Flocke must have thought that the compensation of 1 silver coin and 50 copper coins was too little!

But unexpectedly, Flocke did not leave at all. He actually stabbed the sword into the ground with his bare hands..
