Chapter 22

On the old TV, a male announcer and a female reporter were talking in a loud voice. [Yes! Today’s Middle Earth is also exci! ting! There are a lot of surprising news! And the first news, rankers’ change! It is said that there is a change in the top 10 in the world ranking, which has been solidified for a while.]

[Ah, a month after Middle Earth’s opening, the top ten has always been the same right?]

[So it’s even more amazing! The Russian user, who was ranked 4th before replaced the previous 3rd ranker, who is Chinese.]

[If it is the previous 4th place, isn’t he ‘Agromni Igor’ who is the strongest amongst the Giant race? It is said that he broke the limits of the Berserker job and eventually rose to the third place in the world rankings, the Chinese users will be outraged!]

[Yes, that’s right. From the perspective of Pei Woo, the Number 1 in Martial Artist Class Ranking, he lost his face. It is said that war has already been declared against Agromni Igor’s guild from China’s giant guilds.]

[Chinese tactics! Interfere with competitors’ leveling while raising their level at the same time! It is a large-scale strategy that can be used because it is indeed China. We Korean users shouldn’t be swept away, I wonder how Middle Earth will flow due to the fight between users and guilds from these two countries in the future. What about the next news?]

‘Wow, they’re telling this on air.’

There is a sports section at the end of the 8 o’clock news and a news section specializing in Middle Earth. He has seen it while turning the channel a few times, but it’s the first time Leeha was so focused, because he started the game. It contained much more detail than he thought.

[There’s also news that Ram Hwajeong, the Cryomancer, appeared in Candle Castle, one of the beginner villages. It is even said that the reason was to scout a Korean user, and a small commotion occurred!]

[Ah, wouldn’t it have been huge if Ram Hwajeong, the Cryomancer, is scouting a user?]

[Yes, it is presumed to be having a meeting in the village of beginners with few experts on purpose, according to the informant. In addition to Ram Hwajeong, there was also a person who was believed to be the eldest daughter of Hong Kong’s “Ram Long(Lin Long) Group”, Ram Hwayeon.]

[Ram Hwayeon. She’s the one who started playing directly to discover new business opportunities in the virtual reality Middle Earth, right? If he’s a Korean user that is getting scouted, he is definitely a ranker, but is there any information revealed?]

[Unfortunately, no. However, it seems that he was holding an elongated weapon that looked like a gun.

That is the only information floating around. People are getting curious about this Korean user wrapped in veil-]

“Poo-eup. Kolok, Kolok.”

“Oh my goodness, what happened? Are you okay?” Leeha’s mother patted his back for a while after he coughed.

But Leeha did not feel the pat on his back properly. ‘Ram... ... What? Ram Long?’

Ram Long, the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong, it is a conglomerate group that has been reported on the news many times to launch a resort business for a large complex in Korea.

Who is the eldest daughter? That cheeky girl with red hair?

Pyromancer Ram Hwayeon!

‘That’s the reason why she’s so used to talking down on people!

It must have been natural since she was a precious daughter. Leeha stopped coughing and listened to the TV again, but that portion of the broadcast was already over.

“Aren’t you eating anymore?”

“I’m full. I really enjoyed the meal.” Leeha pushed his wheelchair toward the computer. If that much is mentioned on TV, then what’s on the internet?

“Crazy. There was such an uproar?”

Ram Hwajeong appeared at Candle Castle, the number of views on the post with a screen shot taken was 1.8 million. It’s been a few days in game, but in fact, it only happened this morning. It is already very popular. It was taken from a distance, and since the main focus was Ram Hwajeong, Leeha’s elbows and feet could barely be seen on the other side of the table.

The people in the screen shot are Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon, who were sitting at Candle Castle Pub, and Leeha was the person opposite them.

‘That’s great. They didn’t even take a closer look? The image quality was disappointing.’

-If you don’t know.

– Ll_. This is also close.

-22222 crazy. Really sleepy. Is that a human or a doll?

-It’s probably a doll. Did they change their appearance?

‘First I have to think big. I have to take a screenshot of the Add Friend window, and they won’t believe it if the author level is only 8.’

And what help can I ask for this community? Like Leeha’s impersonators(?), he’ll get or eat a lot of curse.

Leeha gathered information about the Ram Sisters, rankers and things he would need to do after level 10.

“Woo, 10 fox leathers.”

“You grew up very well while we couldn’t see it, Ha Leeha. I didn’t know it could be done so quickly.”

“You’re welcome.”

[Quest completed: Smart beasts]

[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increases by 10%.]

[Intimacy with the Candle Castle Police Force is increased by 15%.]

[Acquired 50 copper.]

[Acquired ordinary leather shoes.]

‘I did not level up?’

Looking at the window of the system, Leeha sat down. The quest to give the level 5 shoes is given by the Guard Captain Jiat.

Since the fox is a monster who made preemptive strikes, the users are asked to provide information.

As soon as he logged in, he received the quest to hunt 10 foxes and collect skins, and what was worse was the even after completing the quest, he did not level up.

“It’s bad to ask someone who had just finished working but I have to ask someone with the skills like Ha Leeha-kun.”

“Yeah? Oh, the wolf?”

The quest that the users get at level 8 is information that he already knew.

“Oh! How did you know, that’s right. The reason why they come to Candle Castle is actually because of the wolves. When the wolves disappear, the foxes will naturally climb the mountain.”

[Flock of beasts]

Description: The wolves descended from the mountain and the foxes moved around the village.

It is crowded. Let’s get rid of the wolves and restore peace around the village. They are those who live in a group, so you must be careful. Maybe you need the power of colleagues.

Content: Wolf Skin (0/10)

Reward: 10% intimacy for all NPCs in Candle Castle, 15% intimacy for Candle Castle Guard Captain, 1 Candle Castle Blacksmith Weapon Repair Ticket, 50 Copper

-Do you want to accept?

“You also have a ticket to repair weapons.”

“The wolves’ hides are tough, so once you finish your hunt, you will need maintenance.”

Leeha admired it a little.

It didn’t give a direct explanation, and it was increasingly felt that Middle Earth’s beginner system was designed precisely enough to just follow the flow.

‘Although it was not the case, it felt like I was rattled by the aftereffect of hitting a rabbit with the musket’s butt. The money is good.’

Would you like to accept? And Leeha clicked the Yes button next to it.

“I’ll be back.”

“Please. Ha Leeha-kun.”
