Reaping Rewards

…And so, here he was.

Establish rites and festivities involving you and the desire of the elves for your affection

Be recognised as a leader by all of the elves

Expand the existing Underwoods whilst maintaining the culture and current level of development

Establish at least one new Underwood

Out of these four conditions, Anoteros had been able to complete the third one with certainty. The expansions were nothing to write home about, but they were still significant–And considering how easily he had been able to push through with these changes… It was safe to say that he had completed the second condition as well.

Armed with several boons improving his popularity, charisma, and affinity to the Underwood Elves–Coupled with their natural infatuation for his virility and the pleasure he had granted within each of the Underwoods… It seemed fairly obvious that–Even if subconscious–The elves already viewed him as someone whose words should be carefully listened to, and whose orders should be followed.

As for the first condition? He barely had anything to do to fulfil it. The elves did it for him...

Inspired by the glorious orgies, the chiefs and villages came together to establish the ‘Flower Offering Festival’, which was a very nice-sounding name for what was essentially a ritualised claim of virginity.

At the moment, though, the festival would be mostly about dancing and eating good food since Edrick and the Blutgar had already claimed basically all virginities possible when it came to Underwood Elves.

Nonetheless, it should count toward the completion of the quest, meaning that there was only one thing left for Anoteros to do... Create a new Underwood.

As it turns out, Underwoods were a bit special. For starters, the trees of the Underwoods were paler and had thicker canopies. This wasn’t because the elves decided to settle down in areas like this... Instead, they had made these parts of the forest into what they currently were by using a technique which allowed them to turn the trees into a part of what was essentially a huge invisibility array concealing their village amidst the pale trees.

Although it had apparently been a very long time since a new Underwood had been created, the method to transform trees had still been carefully preserved and practised. As such, when the scion evoked the idea of creating a new Underwood with the purpose of making it the place where he would build a residence in the future, the chiefs were quick to offer their assistance in providing the manpower. Many elves even proposed to come to populate this Underwood…

Anoteros declined the latter offer, however... An Underwood was merely a descriptor for a location. It did not actually involve building a village within it. As such, the noble merely told the excited elves that they should continue to live amongst their friends and families.

There was no real need for an additional village. The existing ones already had a low population, and with how little they reproduced, it wasn’t a good idea to create an empty place that was meant to be populated… Though perhaps Edrick could ‘encourage’ them to breed more in the future…

…Putting this thought aside, creating an Underwood was a lengthy, but relatively simple process. Thus, after a long while of training and then working upon the completion of this quest–Anoteros finally did it.

Congratulations, User! You have completed the quest: ‘Make The Underwoods Yours’!

Although an intimidating quest, you were able to complete it rather swiftly and without much trouble

‘Well, I am not going to act like it wasn’t made easy by certain circumstances concerning the Underwood Elves. Doing the same thing with a random human population would have been a nightmare’

Nonetheless, making an entire sapient species submit to your rule is worth celebrating!

The rewards for the quest’s completion are as follows:

Edrick paid close attention. The system had hidden the rewards previously for the sake of ‘suspense’, and frankly, Anoteros would have to agree that keeping the promised goods a secret made everything more exciting.

He already knew that the system was generous with its rewards, so he never worried that the hidden rewards would be bad…

Rewards: Underwood Elf Champion Unique Cultivation Technique (All+Body+Invisibility), Underwood Elf Champion Bloodline (Unique), Chances To Acquire More Boons From Underwood Elves

‘Oh my…’

The main rewards were few in number, but their quality and attractiveness were simply incredible.

The cultivation technique was considered to be ‘all cultivation’, but was also noted to lean much more toward body and invisibility cultivation in particular. This meant that acquiring a physique out of it was a strong possibility, especially when paired with the corresponding bloodline.

The third one was just the cherry on top, incentivising him to keep on pounding those elves without rest.

That's not all. Check out the more detailed descriptions for the technique and bloodline

‘Mmh…?’

Edrick did so without waiting.

Underwood Elf Champion Unique Cultivation Technique: An original cultivation technique created by the system, channelling the might and capabilities of a theoretical, vastly superior Underwood Elf dubbed as ‘Champion’. Furthermore, this technique was built to be capable of evolving when a certain condition is triggered

Underwood Elf Champion Bloodline: An original bloodline created by the system, channelling the might and capabilities of a theoretical, vastly superior Underwood Elf dubbed as ‘Champion’. Furthermore, this bloodline was built to be capable of evolving when a certain condition is triggered

‘Evolution? I assume that the condition is a secret?’

Of course, it is funnier this way! But don’t worry, you’ll complete this condition whether you try to or not, I am certain you will… Anyway, consume the bloodline and start practising the technique! I am frankly craving for you to go ahead with Eltysia’s mission to ‘take care’ of that Paraceratherium Magus

‘Are you this excited about this?’

Of course! Biesta is absolutely incredible to begin with, but with a Paraceratherium Magus? Let me tell you, I have access to lots of knowledge and images... They are absolutely stunningly sexy! I don’t have a body myself, so I sort of experience things through you, you know? So naturally… I am looking forward to this

Edrick shook his head. The system he had been given had really turned out to be a pretty big freak… Which was for the best, to be honest. At least, they could get along just fine by sharing a deep yearning for depravity.

…In any case, the system was right–He should absorb this new bloodline and begin practising the technique.

Considering that both the technique and bloodline had been created by the system, and that they had thus been made with Edrick specifically in mind, the noble was quite curious to see just how great their effects would turn out to be.
