Chapter 9

Episode 9. Finding the Orb (1)

Taeyang rested for a day at the inn.

During the break, Hyeon-hye also took care of real work.

-Oh, the broadcast turned on.

– Taeha! Dalha!

As soon as the sun entered the inn’s lobby, people flocked to it.

“Hey, won’t you join us?”

“no! join us! We’ve already recruited an archer healer. If you come in, our personnel will be perfect!”

“How did you get the 100 gold?”

– Countless handshake requests. DD

– Is this the life of an insider?

Taeyang became the most famous person in the shelter on the first floor.

No wonder.

I took the rare card in front of so many people.

People who want to recruit as colleagues, people who cling to anything in case they run out of beans, people who wander around silently.

All kinds of people clung to the sun.

And the sun calmly shook its head.

“it’s okay. All off.”

– Why? Playing solo would be difficult.

-I know you are confident in your physical skills, but isn’t this a bit like that?

-No, this is better than getting hit in the back of the head.

At the first shelter, Taeyang gave up on choosing a trustworthy companion.

The impact of buying the skill card was too great.

Since everyone was approaching the sun without measure, it was not easy to sort out the boulders.

I’d rather be alone than to be with an unreliable colleague.

“I go without a party member. Doesn’t it matter?”

-huh.

Hyeon-hye also had the same thoughts as Tae-yang.

In the first place, it was Hyeon-hye who taught them not to form a party if it seemed unreliable.

Taeyang ignored the players’ stories and went straight to the next floor.

“We are passing now.”

“Me too!”

“Move quickly!”

A few people from the shelter followed the sun into it.

There are individuals and there are groups.

– Either a hyena or a bus passenger.

“Neither of you are happy.”

Those who seek the sun or those who lean on it.

The sun had no intention of letting them move according to their will.

Among the people who followed, the most noticeable was a bald man.

The bald man was big, muscular, and scarred.

Upstairs, there were many cases where a small child subdued a large man with one finger, but in the lower floors where the number of achievements had not yet accumulated significantly, appearance could be a measure of combat power.

-Look at that. ugly eyes.

“I know.”

The bald man glared openly at the sun.

The players, who appeared to be the bald man’s group, also glanced at the sun.

It looks like it’s looking for prey.

Ha, if you’re going to see it, watch it secretly.

You have to advertise that you are aiming like that.

The sun shook its head.

If I went to the next stage by myself, I wouldn’t have had to put all my energy into it, but the system was the problem.

A system where other players can follow as the player challenges a stage.

Of course, this was also designed so that the resentful relationship between players would not be cut off in vain.

‘It’s not all that bad. It is thanks to this system that the concept of a party team can be established.’

After going through the door and walking a little further, there was another door.

Taeyang opened the door and entered without hesitation.

Players, including the bald man, rushed in.

“The fourth floor is a forest terrain.”

– Forest terrain?

-Forest terrain on the 4th floor? what was it

-Guess what. The demon king will come out soon and tell you.

The sun took a deep breath.

I could feel the phytoncide scent.

The air was humid and the tall trees were thick, so it was dark around even in the daytime.

The small clearing in the forest was soon filled with people.

sun.

Players who were at the same shelter as them.

Players from other shelters.

The quiet forest was soon filled with the murmur of people.

Taeyang did not participate in the conversation and calmly refreshed his memory in the corner.

-Fourth floor forest terrain. Taeyang, do you remember what I told you?

“huh. The orb finding stage. Right?”

-good.

The air in the forest changed as Taeyang reflected on Hyeon-hye and the 4th floor strategy.

The buzzing sound died down in an instant.

The sun also stopped talking and looked at one place.

There was a man there.

It was a man with a languid impression with a snake wrapped around his left arm.

The sun pricked the ground around the tree.

– You’re looking for a snake’s den, right?

– No, from the beginning?

– Do you mean just knowing?

– It makes no sense to catch him now.

-There are so many orbs in the snake’s den. Maybe you’re looking for that?

– Then, if you run into Aksharon, you die?

-Looking at Yoon Taeyang, it seems that he has the mindset that it doesn’t matter if he loses.

– ᄏ ᄏ From the first time I connected to Dantalian. lol

[‘Kindergarten snack thief Yoon Taeyang’ sponsored 10,000 won!]

[It’s not that close to the ground, it’s about 3m away from the tree.]

-Have you heard of Taeyang? That’s right.

At Hyun-hye’s words, Taeyang checked the chat window and nodded.

The sun rotated around the tree at intervals of 3m and pierced the ground.

I couldn’t be 100% sure of what the viewer said, but it wasn’t very different from the information Hyun-hye gave me.

‘It’s not something to lose by trying.’

pug.

– Oh yes.

– Freshman ᄋᄋ.

– Let me know this.

There was a large pupil under the sun’s outstretched feet.

The sun went into it.

snake oyster.

It is literally a den where snakes live.

A large cave that is wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

The height was also high.

The sun looked around.

Contrary to its name, the snake cave did not show any snakes.

This is because this snake den is an area owned by ‘only one’ snake.

Aksharon, the giant serpent who is the owner of the snake den.

Aksharon was, so to speak, the most powerful monster in the Orb Search stage.

It is a monster that barely takes damage when you get 15 achievements, and in order to catch it, old players who have collected orbs at the graduation level have to try hunting as a group.

However, Taeyang did not worry about Aksharon.

Aksharon was not active during the day.

Besides, the place where the sun entered was the end of the snake’s lair.

There was no way that Aksharon would attack the sun unless mana was forced to flow.

“Didn’t I say there are three orbs around here?”

-that’s right. There’s more inside, but it’s too dangerous there. Once around the perimeter, there are three. The location is always different, so from here you have to run with your body.

“Okay okay.”

Then a human figure fell from the hole through which the sun entered.

Patter.

“What is this place?”

“It’s good that you found this place.”

“I think there must be an orb or something?”

“Good. Get the card and find the orb.”

It was the bald man and his group.

-uh?

-Are you following me?

– I recognized it from the moment I stared at it.

-Are there many numbers? isn’t that messed up?

-Sincerity; Someone should at least report Yoon Taeyang to the police; I can’t see because my liver is shaking.

-Then don’t look at it and turn it off. Ha ha

– does it mean? Are you already logged in?

Contrary to the reaction in the chat window, Taeyang was calm.

“Come now? It’s later than expected.”

– Rare card. I can’t help but covet

These dung flies were a predestined sequence.

I couldn’t stop watching when I bought a card from the bartender.

The sun searched the group of bald men.

The number is seven.

The weapon... ... sword spear. and hammer.

Fortunately, there were no players using bows.

This is much better than expected.

-7 to 1. DD

-Can this be done?

– Since it’s a person-to-person battle, wouldn’t it be possible?

– Kingpie is always one-on-one. Yoon Taeyang also seems to lack multiplayer experience?

The sun snapped its neck.

“It won’t be an easy fight, but we can win.”

It was to lure them out of the snake’s den in the first place.

The passage of the snake den was narrow.

It is said that it is convenient to fight with one to many.

If it was a forest terrain, it would have been a 7-to-1 battle at a disadvantage, but here it is a repetition of 2-to-1 at most.

At that level, Taeyang was confident enough.

The bald man arrogantly invited the sun.

“The rare card you bought. Just handing it over will save your life.”

The sun smiled.

Where are you talking nonsense bullshit?

“Yeah fuck me.”
