Episode 25:
Salad was a dark gamer.
A dark gamer whose only goal is money, not chasing empty dreams like a ranker!
In that sense, it could be said that he was very good at finding something that would make money easily.
“Isn’t that the protection of the winter forest? Are you lucky today?”
PK!
Why are you trying to collect items by going through the trouble of killing monsters? Just by changing the bowstring from monster to user, money pours in! Growing notoriety? That was meaningless in the face of my bank account balance piling up.
“First of all, let’s take control of the baseline.”
Sigh! Salad concentrated his mind and fired an arrow at the man who looked the strongest.
Stumble! Seeing the mortally wounded man, Salad raised his eyebrows in a mean manner.
“It’s power is incomparable to that of an ordinary archer.”
sniper!
Sellard’s occupation was a sniper with excellent long-distance shooting power. Although he is ridiculously weak in close combat, he is not afraid of anyone at long range.
‘It was a godsend to team up with these guys.’
Thief NPCs!
Sellard looked happily at the NPCs guarding him. While the darkness and bandits are protecting you, it is not difficult to kill the guards one by one.
“Because there will be no one stronger than me here!”
Level 124.
Salad’s confidence was not bluff.
I just didn’t understand the existence of X!
The salad was shocking.
‘What is that bastard?’
A crazy guy running at incredible speed!
Rushing toward a mountain crowded with enemies at night like this, you could see that he was a man hell-bent on dying.
Sigh! Sellard sneered and flicked his bowstring.
“That armor isn’t worth it to you, you bastard!”
puck! The arrow was on target thanks to my desperate sniping skill!
But that crazy guy runs at a fast speed as if there was no impact.
Salad was a little embarrassed.
‘Is the level higher than I thought?’
No, even if the level is high, there are degrees.
Mortal sniping requires long mental concentration, but is a skill that increases attack power by a whopping three times. You have to be at least level 150 to barely be able to avoid fatal injuries.
“You’re saying it’s over 150?”
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s over level 100.
Salad shouted urgently at that strange feeling.
“Stop the guy running at me! Defend me!”
“All right!”
The thieves took out axes and escorted Salad.
But it wasn’t enough.
“Wow!”
“Ugh!”
dump! The thieves fell down screaming.
One person per sword.
Thieves were roaming the world.
Salad’s face turned white.
‘What is it? Does that mean you can become a ranker?’
Even Salad knows the level of thieves. It is a skill that is comparable to that of most users.
So, I joined this band of thieves.
Salad pulled the bowstring once again.
My smooth bow caught my eye.
‘Damn, on the unlucky day when I get this taken away...!’
The falcon’s golden claws!
It was a new bow that I had recently purchased.
It is a unique bow with a level limit of 80, and although its rate of fire is low, its attack power is superior to that of most top bows. Plus, the sleek design was so beautiful that it made me smile every time I saw it.
‘Yes, even if I have to bend my pride...’
I invested the gold I had looted into buying a bow.
I could never have my bow taken away.
Slurp! When all the thieves protecting him fell, Salad opened his mouth.
“That’s great skill. I say salad. I never thought someone as talented as you would be guarding the top. “I, who makes looting my business, can’t help but feel a competitive spirit for the first time in a while.”
Compliment your opponent and challenge him to a man-on-man fight!
“I, Salad, request fair PVP from you.”
Sellard sensed defeat.
Due to the nature of my job as a sniper, I would never be able to beat that crazy guy at such close range. Therefore, I wanted to protect my items and level by applying for PVP, feeling like I was grasping at straws.
But isn’t there a reason for X to accept PVP?
X let out a hearty laugh.
‘salad? That’s a name I really want to eat.’
Harkrid!
X was able to reach Harkrid with the upper body.
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
The users who participated in the quest received their rewards and dispersed to their respective tasks. There were some people who clung to X persistently.
“sorry. “I will have no comment.”
X rejected them with the same reply.
The reason was simple.
‘Because I’m not yet at the level where I can confidently work.’
Making your name known to Fate users?
It was easy for X.
To put it bluntly, just taking a video of your current level and casual hunting and posting it on the Internet will get hundreds of thousands of views. What if you also add the fact that he is the strongest monarch of Lin Online, ‘X’?
“The Internet is going to explode.”
Who doesn’t like popularity?
X also likes attention.
But attention is always accompanied by jealousy.
Moreover, there were many people who would make X jealous.
“Starting from War Machine, just hitting the guys who stepped on me during Lean Online... ugh, I’m tired just thinking about it.”
Right now, I wasn’t confident that I could handle their jealousy on my own. It is not too late to make your presence known and act proudly after you become a little stronger. Instead, I planned to be very popular and utilize it as much as I could persevere when the time came.
“It’s such a shame. It’s not easy to meet talented people like you...”
“Thank you. “If it’s meant to be, the day will come when we meet.”
“Yes, I hope our relationship doesn’t end here.”
You never know when the bean paste will fall!
Even if you don’t know the user, you always had to be kind to the NPC.
X, who also greeted the guard captain, looked around at Harkrid.
Harkrid, where the user took over as lord.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere was unusual.
“Crazy accommodation fee of 1 gold per day? Why are prices so high?”
“It just went up. It went up. Anyway, isn’t this too blatant?”
“Even if this is inconvenient, it would be better to find another village.”
User complaints can be heard wherever you go!
As soon as the new lord became a lord, he raised taxes enormously.
Thanks to this, Haqrid’s prices soared through the roof and the atmosphere couldn’t be better.
“I’m glad that’s all.”
X muttered and looked at the soldiers deployed everywhere.
Is it to protect public order or to scare people? Heavily armed NPCs and users stood guard throughout Harkrid. It was a lifeless scene that could not be seen in other cities such as Narville or Veneta.
‘Well, he took the position by force.’
A city where power is everything!
It is no exaggeration to say that Haqrid was targeted by the powerful.
It seemed like they had deployed soldiers to stop them in advance if there was any sign of such a thing.
X checked the guild emblems on the soldiers’ shoulders.
‘Did you say Heavy Smoker Guild?’
Heavy smoker.
It was a rookie guild that had recently become stronger. No, since they took over Harkrid, it was safe to say that they were now a mid-sized guild. X spent his time wandering around.
‘It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s hay or anything, but what kind of price is this?’
These guys really have no sense of business ethics!
No matter how much I tried to eat it, it was too bad.
X bought a new spice to eat with mustard. If I hadn’t earned 2,000 gold from Lizardman leather, it was an amount I could never have dreamed of.
Before we knew it, darkness had fallen over Harkrid.
The soldiers also had to rest, so they were less alert than during the day. The lights turned on one by one in the night market. X walked through the night market.
“I can’t stay here for long.”
The thought of the money I was spending going into the pockets of other users made me feel sick to my stomach and I didn’t want to stay at Harkrid even for a moment. But how could a cat pass by a fishmonger?
The smell of food wafting from the night market!
Harkrid’s street food caught X’s attention. Fortunately, the prices of street food were not much different from other cities.
Mutter!
[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Sweet Stir-fried Shrimp’!]
[The harmonious taste of shrimp and seasoning is absorbed into your body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 50 points!]
[Strength increases by 1 point !]
“Tsk tsk tsk, can we just go across to the plant hell?”
There is now only one village left.
Just past that point is the sea of lovers. No, Dead Man’s Beach appears. There, you can meet the eccentric Liglian, who was a colleague of the Gourmet King. X constantly inhaled street food and made a plan.
‘I don’t know what will happen, so should I just get to level 80 until I get to Dead Man’s Beach? Still, I’ve gained something, and I want to go fully prepared.’
Newly acquired unique item, Hawk’s Golden Claw!
Should I just get to level 80 so I can wear the falcon’s golden claws?
X, who had set a goal, brightened his eyes.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
