After all the commotion, by the time Li Wei finally settled into the private car back to the hotel, it was already close to 10:00 PM.
Outside the car window, the San Antonio nightscape sped past.
Li Wei leaned back against the leather seat and let out a long sigh.
While his body, blessed with a 3.0 constitution, didn't feel tired, the high-intensity schmoozing was more mentally draining than playing an actual game.
He took out his phone. The screen displayed dozens of unread messages: a congratulatory video from Anya, a congratulatory text from Elizabeth, and various other messages from friends, both close and not so close.
Li Wei prioritized replying to Anya and the others, then simply ignored all the messages from people he didn't know well.
Only after taking care of all that did he finally have the energy and time to check his championship reward.
[Congratulations, Knight Li Wei. You have achieved the highest honor obtainable in this level bracket.]
