Chapter 23: Big Rewards
"Thankyou-, thankyou so much soldier, you don't know how much this means to us villagers" Brahim said as he enthusiastically shook Leo's hands while shedding tears of joy.
[ System Notification - You have completed the quest, ' Village Chief's Request'.

You have received +5 MP
You have received a Virex government token! You are now officially a government soldier who will receive monthly salary and benefits
You have received the unique skill (Mimic) ]
Leo got a lot of rewards at once for clearing the quest.
Since he had perfectly played the role of an elite soldier without arousing the slightest suspicion and also cleared the mission within a day of receiving it, the system evaluated his performance as perfect.
As a result of his perfect evaluation, apart from the promised rewards, he got more gold and benefits than he would have at a lower evaluation, with everything that he got today being incredibly important for his future.
The plus ten levels in itself was a BIG jump as now Leo was actually a bigshot in the game at level 24 when the common player was not even level one.
This gave him some breathing room at the start of the game as he doubted that anyone else would have come as far as he did in the last 24 hours.
He also unlocked his class! Which although he was unaware of was a big deal as only after unlocking the class could one learn the class specific skills and truly begin their journey as a player.
Finally, he received an integral skill of the actor class 'Mimic' which would prove to be a core skill for his future endeavors.
[ Mimic ] ( Unique ) - A skill specific to the actor class, which allows the user to mimic the behavior, voice and walking pattern of a target, or copy an observed combat attack once.
Leo read the description of the skill and shrugged his shoulders as he took his leave from the village chief and headed towards his tavern to crash in and Logout.
The first day of playing Terra Nova had been fun, he had escaped being imprisoned, gained a lot of levels and was doing well for himself as a hidden bigshot.
However, it was finally time to return back to reality.
[ Are you sure you wish to logout of Terra Nova Online? ]
[ Yes ]
[ No ]
"Yes, I'm sure" Leo said as he pressed the yes icon on the screen and logged out of the game.

( Real world, The Arc Ship, Sector E )
"You're finally awake? I was starting to get worried" a voice said, which Leo recognised to be Luke's.
Removing his helmet, Leo looked around the room only to find himself disappointed by the small space where he currently lived.
"SAY THE COMMAND, 'CHECK MP' to display earned MP" a voice suddenly said as both Luke and Leo were startled.
"Did the ankle bracelet just say something?" Luke said, feeling shocked as he pointed towards Leo's ankle bracelet in surprise.
"Check MP" Leo said as the ankle bracelet proceeded to say "Current MP owned - Five" in a very mechanical voice.
"Woahhhh" Luke said in shock as he did not understand what Leo had done to earn MP however he found it very cool that he did.
"What is an MP?" Leo asked Luke, however, it was the ankle bracelet that booted up again and answered for them.
"MP stands for merit points, it is the official currency that can be used on the arc ship for various purposes not limited to recreation, escaping punishment or placing special requests.
For example, in the ships common dining area or the dining area of your assigned sector, you can pay in MP to upgrade your meal or order a drink.
MP can be earned both in-game and by performing your job on the ship where MP will be given to you instead of monthly salary" The bracelet answered as both Luke and Leo's eyes lit up at the answer.
"Woah Leo! You earned some money…. That's so cool! How did you do it?" Luke asked happily as the excitement of getting to know all about Leo's experience in the game so far was visible in his eyes, however, Leo on the other hand was horrified.
He did not want to lie to his elder brother, but he could also not tell him about the actor class as any slight slip-up on his end would see him being electrocuted by the ankle bracelet which was tracking every word that he spoke.
"That err… that, hmm" Leo stuttered as his face turned red from trying to think of an excuse while Luke's smile turned into a frown seeing his antics.
"What did you do this time?" He asked in his typical elder brother tone as he understood that this was the expression which Leo made when he had performed some mischief.
"No, no it's not what you think! It's just embarrassing because I was issued a quest that led me to kissing a grandma. That's how I got these points" Leo said as he lied through his teeth.
"An old and wrinkly grandma?" Luke asked
"A toothless grandma" Leo replied as Luke immediately made a barfing expression.
"Ulghhhh" he said before starting to laugh out loud and slap Leo on his shoulders.
Thankfully he had bought the lie, much to Leo's relief, however, it was not without cost as Luke proceeded to make granny jokes for the next five minutes making Leo extremely uncomfortable.
It was a narrow call today, however, for how long could Leo really keep his identity hidden from Luke?
