Chapter 26

[You leveled up]

‘Done. Huuu.’

White light wrapped around Leeha’s and then disappeared. The light was bright enough to drive out the darkness of the night.

After more than four hours of hunting rabbits, and he was only able to get to level 5.

‘It went up relatively quickly to level 3, but.’

Of the four hours worth of hunting, it took only 30 minutes to get from level 2 to level 3, it took 1 hour and 10 minutes from level 3 to level 4 and 2 hours 20 minutes from level 4 to level 5.

‘How long would it take to get from level 5 to level 6 while only catching rabbits?’ His body trembled. ‘The achievement of “selling all rabbit meat”. The user who caught 1,000 rabbits would have taken 4 days without taking a break in order to get to level 9. Terrible, just terrible.’

Anyway, I’ve gotten used to hitting rabbits with the musket’s butt. Sometimes a critical would burst out or an instakill occurred, there was a rabbit that died in one hit.

One life in one hit.

One life in one shot.

Butts and bullets are becoming the same.

“Huuu. It’s just my feeling that the mood is getting darker, right?”

This might be the reason why the highest level after 4 months since its release is in early 200s, even considering the time ratio of reality and game is 1 to 5, it might also be the reason why the highest leveled user is a tank.

‘I also learned one more thing, repeated action raises stats.’

It was an information that the community already knew, but in reality, it is not something that a lot of people can do.

Should they repeat an action until their teeth are shaking?

‘It went up because it’s now. It is said that it will get worse in the future.’

I gained 1 strength after beating up rabbits for four hours. That’s right, it should be done for four hours. In a game that only gives 5 stats per level, an additional point would be of tremendous value. However, it is said that it is 4 hours in continuous motion at first, and then the time increases exponentially.

‘In order to increase the strength by 1 point, I now have to beat it for 16 hours without stopping. It was said that it will be reset after a certain period of rest. What’s next? 4 to the third power. 64 hours?’

For 64 hours, you can’t sleep and continuously use your strength. From here on, it is already the limit of physical labor. That’s the amount of time you need in order to get the third additional point of strength.

Yes, even the third is okay, but what about the fourth point of strength?

‘4 to the 4th power....... 256hours.

Moving without rest for ten days in order to get one point. What’s next?

‘1024 hours....... You need to continuously move without sleeping for 42 days.’

This information is not yet confirmed. It was revealed that there was someone who worked hard for up to 256 hours, but after that, it was said that they gave up because their stats did not increase.

However, based on the rule, it was only estimated that it would take 4 to the 5th power.

‘The developers are really vicious.’

Was it to prevent labor? It might mean that they want users to focus on Middle Earth instead of simple repetitive actions.

‘Besides, it’s too battered. Somehow, it seems that the Musket’s butt board is slightly loose.’ Only when the butt board is firmly fixed, can the shoulder attachment also be firm.

If the shoulders are stable, you can shoot the bullets wherever you want. Wouldn’t it be a big problem in the future to overwork the butt to get some more rabbit meat?

I did it because there was no other way, but my heart was heavy.

A game where neither weight nor stamina is shown in figures. There is no way to show weapon durability as a number. Gunpowder is 10 copper per bag, but if the musket is broken.

‘I need to stop before my belly button gets bigger than my belly.’

Leeha looked at the height of the moon. It’s almost midnight now. From the beginner’s hunting ground, he walked and walked along the road, until the forest where the black rabbit stood.

‘This, isn’t it quite scary?’

Even in the army, he was on the sidelines at night.

‘Besides, I was still walking along the road, and I could see people around me, but it was scarier than I thought. All of a sudden, the rabbits disappeared and what can be seen are beasts like foxes and wolves.’

The wolf’s howling on the hill gave him goosebumps and finally, when the entrance of the forest began to be seen from a distance, a group of parties came into the Leeha’s eyes.

‘Hunt?’

Leeha instinctively lowered his body. They couldn’t see Leeha because the distance was quite far away and he was approaching from behind.

‘1, 2, 3? 4? Leeha approached with his body lowered.

It was only after hiding behind a rock near the forest that he began to hear their conversation.

It was a familiar voice.

The jerks looking for a dealer in the square.

Did they start hunting?

“Dealer! Deal with it quickly! Save me!”

“No, no! You have to drag it with your aggro! I will cast in about 30 seconds! Archer, come here! You can’t go there!”

“I want to go quickly, quickly, but I can-! This isn’t a low level quest! Aaak!”

Leeha raised his head and looked at the situation.

‘When I fail the quest for each shop, the penalty will be village intimacy -10%, and the total is -40%. I might become the worst guy in the history of Candle Castle?’

Previously, I liked that I had a successfully used bargain, but now I’m not sure.

Of course, I thought I could improve the quest and only thought of a high return, but I did not consider the high risk.

I regret it very much, but there is no medicine for regret. I have to make a choice.

“Huuu, huuu Crazy. I am really crazy.” Leeha opened his character window.. He put all the stat points he had accumulated up to level 5 into his agility.

Total Agility, including additional stats based on achievements 55.

It’s a number that can only be achieved by putting all the stats you get from levelling from level 1 to level 9 into agility. Adding the fact that my weapon is musket. Although it is a “low-level crude musket,” if it comes to attack power, it can be considered as the strongest for low class weapons.

Putting it simply, the attack power of one shot is strong enough to be comparable to other classes that has raised their level for a while.

I opened the bag and picked up a bag of gunpowder.

The probability that they can during the reload time of nearly two minutes? None. If so.

“Hey! Look here! Run down the hill and come to this rock!”

The words to run downhill did not come out properly. However, it must have been a voice like God’s salvation to those who were running.

“I-I’m alive! Help me!”

“Damn, only one person is there! The rabbit is slow when you run from a high place to a low place, so run like that.!”

I am not sure if it’s the case for the crazy rabbit, but looking at its body structure and short front legs, that should be true.

Leeha continued loading with a shout. Pour gunpowder into the muzzle and add the iron ball bullets. The wind is blowing, and the ramrod is lifted and pressed.

Reload complete.

“Save me faster, you bastard!”

The woman shouted at Leeha.

“B-bastard?”

I don’t even feel like crying. Anyway, if that swearing woman dies, Leeha would be next.

The barrel is supported by the hollowed part of the rock. Leeha moved into the knee-shooting posture, and turned his eyes to the scope.

‘Stay calm. It’s okay.’

Now that he is level 5, when he dies, he won’t be able to access the game for 48 hours and his level would go down by one. However, none of those thoughts come to Leeha’s mind while he was holding the musket.

The worst and best results are erased from his head. Because, a gun won’t hit just by imagining it.

“Huu, Haa...

Control your breathing. Dugeun, dugeun.

It is not a forced heartbeat by the combat assistance system, but a natural pulsation felt by focusing all the body’s power.

He was so focused that he was able to hear his pulse.

The current distance is about 100m. Leeha waited.

“This bastard, I’m not kidding! What are you doing, help me quickly, I didn’t call for help so we could die together!”

The woman yelled on the top of her voice, but it did not enter Leeha’s ears. Huu, haa.

85m. 80m. 75m.

‘A little bit more.’

Still, the success rate will only be around 65%. The most important thing when dealing with muskets is the guts.

You have to hold your breath until the end.

The first person to get his head out of the water loses.

65m.

Now, the shape of a woman seems quite detailed.

Is she sweating? On normal circumstances, Leeha would be able to see that there was something swinging in front of the woman, but the current Leeha did not notice it.

He was only focused on finding the Black Angus’ weakness.

Where is the heart? No, is it better to aim for the heart? If you think about the area to be hit, that would be better.

Probably there is a heart near the upper part of the forelimb, so even if it misses, it will still hit the leg or side. It will hit in areas that can get quite hurt.

But what if it doesn’t die with that much damage? It will run with its legs limping. What if it throws a somersault kick?

Both Leeha and the woman must be prepared to die.

If that’s the case?

With the lack of information, Leeha could only think of one place to aim.

“Huu, Haa-”

43m. 41m, 39m, he can see the snot and drool in the woman’s mouth.

Leeha’s index finger moved.
