ED:

-Ah hyung! What were you doing?! I told you to contact me right away!”

“My ears hurt, Kijeong-ah. What’s up? Can’t I hear it after logging it?”

The call started immediately. Kijeong’s voice was incredibly loud. His excitement could be felt.

-It would be better to connect on the internet and check! Puhahaha, it’s so ridiculous.

“What is ridiculous?”

-Hurry up and connect right now. This is war-related notice, no, the community would be better because there is a table organized there.

What is he making up a fuss for? Leeha went to his computer and quickly checked the community.

“What, this...

-Did you see it? Isn’t it awesome? It’s awesome, right? Kuheuheuheu, heuheuheum, eong-ah!! Eong-aaaaahh!!

Even though Leeha was only hearing laughter from the receiver, he could see Kijeong’s expression.

[Title: ★Fibiel’s users praise Ha Leeha-nim★]

[Title: As expected of that Ha Leeha person, I knew it would turn out like that]

[Title: By the way, what did that person do? Why did he get all of that? Didn’t he also form a friendly relationtionship with someone from an enemy country?]

[Title: No.1 in Kraven, Drake, No.1 in Minis Alexander, but Fibiel’s no.1 is not well known Haha Fibiel’s standard Haha]

[Title: As requested: Summary of Fibiel’s major contributors.txt]

Tsurururuk, the updated articles were war-related gossips.

And what accounts for 90% of the chat was related to the ‘compensation announcemet’ that Kijeong mentioned.

Leeha was able to see what was included in the compensation notice just by checking the title once.

“Did they reveal the top contributor?”

-That’s right! Not just number one! On the homepage, everyone from the 1st to 10th is listed! Hyung’s name is there! It’s embedded! Leeha clicked the article with a confused face.

[Title: As requested: Summary of Fibiel’s major contributors.txt]

1st: Ha Leeha: 35,878

2nd: Granville: 14,556

3rd: Pei Wu : 8,044

4th: Ram Hwajeong 6,861

5th: Ram Hwayeon : 10,000 -> 5,000 after reduction

Rush’s guild master was 6th, Kidd was 7th, NPC at 8th, Byeolcho’s master 9th, Shin Nara 10th.

No, but what the heck did he do to get 1st place over the Commander-in-Chief NPC ᄁᄁᄁ the difference is more than twice.......

-Isn’t Ram Hwayeon better than that? Ram Hwajeong got 6,800 but Ram Hwayeon only got 5000?

-If she didn’t get deducted she would have been the 3rd best contributorᄃᄃ the NPC commander-in-chief is 2nd among users ᄃᄃ

-what do you mean deducted?

– I heard that she made a big mistake at the end, and there’s a rumor that it’s because of that....

-I’m close to -1000, who’s +35,000? I can’t play this game anymore.

-ᄐᄁᄁᄁ I’m -400 as well ᄁᄁ I was relieved when I saw you

-Among non-rankers Rush’s guild master saved his face

-There’s also Byeolcho’s guild master. Rush Gilma would have been blessed with money and people, but Byeolcho Gilma is the best

“Wow....... The difference is bigger than you think.”

It wasn’t surprising that Leeha was number one. He knew very well that no one among the users would have made a higher contribution than himself. However, wasn’t it foul to have the commander-in-chief NPC as a competitor?

The first thing that surprised him was that he even beat the score of the commander-in-chief NPC by a huge margin.

And the second was the person in the 10th place.

“Kijeong-ah?! You-”

In case of stats, it goes without saying. In Middle Earth, there were practically no way of getting important stat points with only 100 or 200 contribution points.

“Hmm, how about hero or legendary level?”

“I don’t know about that. Someone shared that they used 1,000 contribution points to get a rare helmet. The difference between special and rare level is more than 3 times the contribution points, so the higher it goes, the more contribution points it would require, right?”

“If it’s rare, wouldn’t it cost more than 200 gold anyway? They must have made some money, right?”

“Well, he said that in order to not die in the war and get negative contribution points, he had to buy potions and scrolls worth 150 gold. Anyway, considering all of that, I don’t think he had profited much. We’ll have to leave some time.”

“As expected of Middle Earth.”

“Yeah. Still, people with positive contribution points are happy.”

Kijeong spoke again after Leeha nodded. In the case of negative contribution points, there was really a penalty like the rumors floating around.

The experience penalty will only disappear after spending a lot of time connected!

“What if they don’t connect?”

“Well. They must be permanently connected. I think Middle Earth will be crowded with people everywhere for the time being.”

There will be more and more people who will just chat in towns rather than go hunting while the penalty was active. Kijeong’s prediction was quite accurate. And Leeha could guess why such penalty came out.

‘Is it also another way to weaken user’s strength? If I think about it carefully, the purpose of the war in the first place was to weaken the users vefore the 3rd Human-Demon War...’

However, it is said that the experience penalty can be reduced with money.

However, Middle Earth’s gold is practically a cyber-currency. Therefore, Leeha thought that it would not be a big deal if the users had enough money.

“There will be quite a bit of resistance. Who would pay for it?”

“You still don’t know about Middle Earth’s users eong-ah.”

And Middle Earth’s users’ tenacity was stronger than expected.

“Huh?”

“Even after the backlash, the price of Middle Earth’s gold had risen. The demand for gold suddenly skyrocketed because of people trying to pay for the penalty. There were so many people willing to remove the penalty with money, and people in the towns are going crazy. Even if you died just once during the war, it would be virtually impossible to get out of the swamp of negative contribution, so there must be a huge number of those affected.”

Seeing Leeha’s disbelieving expression, Kijeong said that he had disposed his gold for some time.

“What are you going to do now, hyung? The war is over.”

“Well. I’d like to get the rewards first, but....” I heard that you are going to the royal palace for your meritorous deeds-.”

“Yeah. That’s why I haven’t used my contribution points left. At that time, after seeing what they are giving, I plan on changing it to stats or items.”

Those who have a few contribution points immediately exchanged them and went hunting, but Kijeong was different.

And Leeha also had the same idea as Kijeong.

The royal palace might give them better item, but you don’t l. At that time, he could make a decision based on the situation, so there were few things he had to do right now.

The fist thing is hunting.

Even though he worked so hard on the battlefield, Leeha’s level did not rise. This was because his focus was on assassinating a few factors rather than killng a large number of people.

At some point, he was so absorbed in destroying the keystone that it was natural.

Leeha opened his character window.

Name: Ha Leeha / Race: Human

Job: Musketeer / Level: 162(99.7%)

Leeha felt somewhat absurd at the same time that he was fortunate to see 99% of the experience.
