Bonus chapter as promised

"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.

"Why is my support fund so small? Others seem to receive 5 or 6 times as much as mine. Please explain, Your Majesty the King!"
Facing Jason's questioning, the king frowned.
He was extremely displeased with Jason challenging his authority repeatedly.
"You'd better explain it to me, Your Majesty, or don't blame me for what I might do!"
Seeing that the king didn't answer, Jason asked again, this time with a tougher tone, full of threats.
"Oh, really?"
The corners of the king's mouth kept twitching, his right hand tightly gripping the armrest of the throne, and the veins on his arm kept bulging. He was forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.
When the king was preparing to disadvantage Jason, he had already anticipated that Jason would come to ask about it, but he didn't expect such a bad attitude and even daring to threaten him.
"Huh~~~"
The king let out a long breath, finally calming down a little, and said slowly: "sir Shield Hero, I think you have misunderstood. The purpose of the support fund is to cover the future expenses of the heroes in the kingdom."
"The Spear Hero, Sword Hero, and Bow Hero have many adventurers following them. Whether it's food, drink, housing, transportation, or equipment replacement, they will need to spend more money."
"As for you, Shield Hero, you are alone, so you shouldn't need to spend as much. Besides... don't underestimate 100 silver coins; it should be enough before the next wave of calamity arrives."
The king spoke slowly, reciting the words he had prepared in advance.
His explanation was well-founded, and most people couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Your Majesty's words are indeed correct. Since these adventurers are willing to follow us, we must take good care of them. The cost will indeed increase, unlike you... one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry."
Itsuki nodded, agreeing with the king.
"I agree too."
Ren doesn't talk much, but his attitude says it all.
The adventurers who chose to follow them were quite moved when they heard what they said, and felt that they were following the right people.
As for Motoyasu, who had just wanted to slash Jason but was slashed himself, he was still in a state of doubting his life and did not participate.
For Jason, it doesn't matter whether the three heroes participated or not. He sneered and said, "If you say that, then I should need more support money."
The king couldn't help frowning, not quite sure what he meant.
"Compared with the other three heroes, I should have an extra expense. After all, I still need to recruit adventurers who are willing to follow me. It's not hard to understand, is it?"
Jason continued.
"Well..."
The king didn't expect to be taken advantage of by Jason, but it was absolutely impossible to hand over more support funds to him.
"Look... In fact, the main reason is that the country is currently suffering from severe calamities, and a lot of money is needed constantly. The current treasury is empty, and we really don't have much money."
The next second, the king sighed softly and said this, but no matter how one looked at it, he was not the kind of good king who worried about the people.
"I see! So the country has no money, right?"
Jason shrugged and said helplessly, seemingly accepting the fact.
"Yes... sir Shield Hero can understand, that's really great."
The king nodded in surprise.
"Of course... After all, I'm not an unreasonable person. Finally, I have another question, and I want His Majesty the King to answer it."
There was a vague smile on the corner of Jason's mouth.
"Please ask!"
The king obviously didn't notice the strangeness revealed in Jason's demeanor.
"Since this country has no financial resources, does that mean that even if we save this country, we will not get any benefits? After all, there is no money!"
Jason glanced at Ren and Itsuki as he spoke. He remembered that these two wanted to seek benefits for themselves when they first arrived in this world.
"Now, just be my spearmen...brothers!" Jason thought to himself
Hearing Jason's words, Ren and Itsuki were immediately displeased.
"So it turns out that the benefits promised to us before were just lies to deceive us!"
"Your Majesty, you'd better explain this clearly!"
Faced with Ren and Itsuki's angry questioning, the king froze for a moment, not expecting that things would turn out like this.
"No, no, no... you've misunderstood..."
The king waved his hands in panic, trying to explain, but didn't know what to say.
In terms of cunning, he and Jason were not on the same level at all.
Just when the king was in extreme embarrassment, a man in a robe walked to the center of the hall. He was wearing a hood, and his head was lowered, making it impossible for people to see his face clearly.
"My lords, the heroes, you have indeed misunderstood His Majesty the king. If you successfully resist the wave of calamity, the king will naturally use the power of the whole country to repay you, noble heroes. Even if the finances are tight, even if the country will regress for decades, in order to repay the heroes, he will not hesitate."
It has to be said that the man in the robe spoke very well, not only dispelling Ren and Itsuki's concerns but also raising the king's righteousness to another level.
At the same time, he gave Jason a sense of 'extreme danger'.
"It turns out that His Majesty the King is so righteous, but now he can't even spare some silver coins, which makes people doubt the authenticity of his words."
Jason looked closely at the robed man, trying to discern his identity.
"It's just some silver coins; of course, there's no problem, Your Majesty?"
The man in the robe said to the king while lowering his head even further, as if he was also afraid of Jason.
"That's right, come here... give the Hero another 700 silver coins."
The king hurriedly shouted, and an official immediately handed Jason the bag containing the silver coins.
He took the bag and added it to the 100 silver coins he had been given before, which now totaled exactly 800 silver coins.
"Ding! The selection conditions are completed, and a double experience card will be rewarded for 6 hours."
Now that the reward had been obtained, Jason didn't want to waste much more time on this matter, so he smiled in satisfaction.
When he turned his head, he found that the man in the robe had disappeared.
"Could it be the Pope?"
Jason frowned. Although he couldn't be 100% sure that the man in the robe was the Pope of the Three Heroes Church, he was certain that there was a 70% to 80% possibility. The ability to keep one's head bowed like that was telling.
"It's getting late now. All heroes, please rest in the palace for the night and set off tomorrow morning."
Then the king's voice sounded again.
"I don't need to; I want to start now. And finally... I want to have a few words with you, Your Majesty the King."
Jason put the money bag on his waist and walked towards the king on the throne as if with some purpose.
Before he could take a few steps, some soldiers quickly blocked his way and aimed their spears at Jason.
As soon as Jason grasped a long spear in front of him, the next second, unimaginably, the long spear in the soldier's hand was directly pinched off, and it looked extremely effortless.
"Hey, hey, hey... I hate it the most in my life when others point their weapons at me. If there is another time, your brains will end up like this spear. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
Jason threw the broken spear in his hand on the ground casually, making no effort to hide his killing intent, and the soldiers around couldn't help taking a step back in fright.
Ignoring these soldiers, Jason passed through them and came before the king.
"You... what are you going to do?"
The king's back was pressed against the throne, and a look of horror couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just here to warn you: don't think that I don't know about your little tricks with your daughter. In the future, I advise you not to provoke me, otherwise I'll make one of you pick up shit and the other be an BBQ!"
After finishing speaking, Jason turned and left. He would not stay in the palace overnight, lest someone try to poison him.
Looking at his retreating back, even if the king didn't know what BBQ meant, he could still understand that this was definitely a threat involving his daughter. He was immediately enraged to the extreme.
But in his current state, he was helpless. He slammed his right fist on the throne, venting his impotent rage.
Ren and Itsuki looked at each other, not quite sure what Jason had said to the king that made him so angry his whole face turned purple.
It seemed that he would pass out at any time due to the increase in blood pressure.
