The head felt a bit heavy.
This was Kane's first reaction upon waking up on Cotton Candy.
The victory banquet last night was quite joyous, and after drinking too much, Kane intentionally suppressed his body's faculties, allowing the alcohol to affect him for a rare mont of intoxication.
Feeling the heaviness in his brain, he controlled his Magic Power to circulate throughout his body, restoring the deliberately released restrictions.
As Kane restored the suppression on his Constitution to normal, the heaviness from the hangover imdiately disappeared, and his mind beca clear again.
If Kane did not suppress his Constitution, no amount of alcohol could affect his body in the slightest.
After getting up, he patted the Cotton Candy beneath him, and it floated on its own, flying out the nearby window.
Since ascending to gold level, Cotton Candy has started to lag behind the team.
And with the opening of the World Ring, Kane and his team had only undertaken one Dungeon exploration.
This has led to Cotton Candy aimlessly wandering around the territory or the Platinum Country at present.
However, this lifestyle makes Cotton Candy very happy, with food, drink, and play, its body is inflating more and more.
The now joyful Cotton Candy made Kane very gratified, as Cotton Candy's presence once provided much help in their Dungeon explorations.
Watching Cotton Candy soar into the sky, Kane smiled.
Then he heard the sound of the door opening and the footsteps of Ironhoof.
Kreya walked in and smiled upon seeing Kane awake, saying, "You're awake? You actually suppressed your Constitution just for the fun of drinking."
Listening to Kreya's words, Kane just smiled.
"How is it outside now? Has everything been tidied up?"
"The residents have all returned, but the soldiers are still waiting."
Upon hearing Kreya's words, Kane imdiately began tidying up his hygiene.
Then he quickly pulled Kreya out of the room, heading towards the fortress square.
"The Mist's reward is still waiting for us to receive it, let's do it now while everyone is still around."
When the banquet started last night, the Mist had already notified them, ready to distribute the reward for completing their objective to Kane and his team.
However, the Explorers present tacitly postponed it since the banquet was so joyous at the ti.
By now, so Explorers should have already started receiving their rewards.
Reaching the square of the fortress, they indeed saw many Guild Explorer mbers gathering there, chatting about the rewards they each received.
"Kane, you're here! How about your reward?" Finaris, standing nearby, asked upon seeing Kane.
Guild mbers all around were exceptionally curious since this was also their first ti receiving a reward from the Mist.
The kind for clearing Dungeons didn't count.
Yesterday was the first ti in their lives they received a ntal ssage from the Mist.
It thrilled them imnsely.
Kane smiled and said, "I don't know, I haven't had a chance to receive it yet. Have you already received yours? How is it? Are you satisfied?"
To Kane's question, everyone nodded in agreent.
"Can't deny it, the Mist is indeed generous," said the Angel Siblings, with Funa beside them.
Upon seeing these people, Kane instantly noticed sothing peculiar.
"Wait a minute, could you be... No wonder you look so satisfied, it truly is generous."
As Funa and her team approached, Kane imdiately noticed sothing amiss about them.
Funa's team of three had all advanced to gold level.
Seeing this situation, Kane also noticed that Finaris had reached the silver bottleneck, just a step away from gold.
It's important to note that before entering the World Ring, Funa and her team had just reached the silver bottleneck, barely short of advancing.
Yet this ti, it propelled them to gold at once; the reward was indeed enormous for them.
Finaris, due to being revived and having only erged from the Dungeon a little over a year ago,
was slightly weaker than Funa and her team, thus only reaching the silver bottleneck this ti.
Which was rather unfortunate.
Nevertheless, this situation did not hinder the group's teamwork, as there were no such requirents within the World Ring.
After passing these individuals, Kane again looked at the other Explorers present.
Sure enough, the Dragonborn had also ascended to the gold level.
After all, Dragonborn had already reached the silver bottleneck before, arguably the strongest amongst the silver-level Explorer teams.
This advancent to gold was unsurprising.
However, his four teammates remained at the silver level.
This was sothing inevitable.
Reportedly, their team was ford at the mid-silver level.
The original team had only four mbers, while the earliest teammate to team up with Dragonborn had all perished in a multi-team Dungeon once.
And Dragonborn was rescued by the four, eventually forming a seamless 5-person team.
Thus, Dragonborn was a bit stronger than his teammates.
This ti, the Mist reward added four more gold-level mbers to their guild.
Seeing the Guild mbers' enhanced strength, Kane recalled the number of Cannibal Ghosts they had slain in his mind.
The strength increase was sowhat related to the number of Cannibal Ghosts they had defeated.
And the silver-level Explorers received rewards akin to the strength boosts obtained upon clearing a Dungeon.
