With a man's urgent voice, Ian's group halts their reflexive attack.
And Ian, who was closest to him, looked at the man's face again.
‘Hmm, I've seen a lot of faces...' ’
Shh-shh-shh!
Ian, who put the Judge's Blade in his back, met the man again with a strange face.
I don't know where he is, but he looks familiar.
And the next moment, Ian knew where he had seen him.
The moment I checked the system box on top of a man's head, I immediately realized what he was.
-GM Iron: Lv. 100 (Transcendent)
He was worried about Ian updating the landscape.) Operator who appeared during the time to correct the incident.
Since it was‘ GM Cheolwoo ’.
It's overwhelming.
Ian and the group slowly walk in front of him, and Ian reaches out his hand, smiling as his eyes meet him.
Glad to see a man showed up.
“Long time no see, Cheolwoo. ”
“Ha……. It's been a while, Ian. ”
Two voices that contain the same content but have completely different emotions.
“It's been years since I've seen you again. ”
“Phew, yeah. I didn't expect to see Ian again. ”
Unlike Ian's voice, his voice was full of sighs.
Ian suddenly asked me one question, looking for Cheolwoo.
“By the way, Cheolwoo. ”
“Yes?”
“You're not the only GM in Kailan, are you? ”
“No way. ”
That's when I wondered why Cheolwoo, the GM, came down to see Ian again.
‘I don't know what rank it was, but I'd be at least a team leader by now. ’
And Ian's little curiosity could be solved immediately by Cheolwoo's answer.
“Then why……. ”
“None of the GMs want to come here. ”
“Why?”
“Because……. ”
Cheolwoo, who had a bitter look on his face, replied with a sinking voice.
“Ian nearly cost me a month's salary for losing that promotion. ”
“ ……. ”
“That didn't happen as a result……. It was so frustrating at the time. ”
“Khh, Hmmm. ”
Ian, who was slightly sorry for the unexpected answer, avoided his gaze, clearing his throat.
I thought I knew why Cheolwoo almost went through such a sad thing at the time.
‘Maybe it's because I didn't just log out and used up all the reinforcement stones...' ’
But I'm sorry about what happened back then, and now it's a different situation.
Cheolwoo may have appeared to Ian to deal again, but Ian had no intention of conceding.
If Bug had been unfairly gained from abusive play, he would have nothing to say, but he was playing it perfectly normal all along.
“Hmph.”
Ian cleared his voice once and began to open his mouth again.
“So, Cheolwoo. ”
“Yes?”
“What brings you here today? ”
“ ……? ”
“I don't think there was a problem with my play. ”
With Ian's remarkably bold ambassador, the pupils of calmed steel began to tremble.
* * *
In fact, Ian's group's play, like Ian said, was not a problematic play.
Playing far outside the planning intent has only upset in-game balance.
‘Yes, it's not a problem...' ’
Hun, who was listening to Ian and Cheolwoo talk behind my back, shakes his head without even knowing it.
I was surprised that Ian already had the power to meet GM, but I was even more surprised that it could be so audacious.
‘I'm excited about how things are going. ’
If you think about it, the appearance of this GM was perhaps too obvious.
Ian's group just bombed level 10 in one day, making it hard for others to do even a single job a week.
If LB hadn't taken any action, it would have been a perfect balance breakdown within a week.
From the Planning and Development teams' point of view, you may need to work on your pulmonary tube beyond the night shift.
So Ian and other parties, including Hun, did not have the excessive desire that GM would continue to heed the hunt.
I just cheered Ian on taking as much from his deals with Cheolwoo as he could.
‘Yes, if that evil brother of yours is more than you can imagine. ’
Hun began to listen to Ian and Cheolwoo's conversation.
And it's too obvious, but what Cheolwoo needs is this ruthless (?) to stop hunting.
“We've temporarily sealed off the dungeon here. ”
“Hmm……. ”
“But if we continue to block this place, many other users will suffer the consequences. ”
“Maybe so. ”
“So I'd like to ask Ian a favor. ”
“Do me a favor?"
“Until the next patch, I want you to voluntarily stop this hunt. ”
“Huge.”
“It's not a bug, like you said, but it almost destroyed the planning intent. ”
“ ……. ”
“First of all, I'd appreciate it if you could stop hunting and... gather some information about the generator." ”
Ian, who was listening to Cheolwoo's story, closed his eyes and started moxing.
The unfortunate side of the situation is, of course, GM and LB.
The blade of the negotiation is in Ian's hands.
“What will I get if I do what Cheolwoo asks? ”
“Mmmm... ”
“I can call it Hiddenpiece because of my own efforts and research, if you want to control this……. ”
“ ……! ”
“Shouldn't there be some kind of reward? ”
In a low and clear voice, Ian said a word about the roots.
However, as the story progressed, the look of Iron Wool became pale.
It was because he was determined not to retreat easily from Ian's voice, and there was nothing wrong with every word he said.
‘Ha, what should I do...' ’
Of course, before he appeared in front of Ian, Cheol received several ‘cards’ from the planning team.
I received various carrots that can be used to persuade Ian.
However, given Ian's attitude, the problem was that he was unsure whether negotiations were possible with the rewards he had prepared.
‘I'm going to throw all the cards away. If I just shove my prizes up my ass and his pint comes out...... it's horrible to think about. ’
The rewards prepared by Cheolwoo varied step-by-step.
After talking to Ian, I wanted to finish with a minimum reward.
But face-to-face, it was quick to realize that all of these plans were useless.
So, iron decided to bring out a powerful reward from the beginning.
With a reward that I think Ian deserves.
‘Okay, let's just push it in. ’
Gulp.
Cheolwoo, who swallowed a dry saliva, opened his mouth again to Ian.
Like a veteran trained in many years of service, it was reinstated poker face.
“You're absolutely right, Ian. ”
“Hmm……. ”
“Of course I've prepared a reward for it. ”
Once again, Iron, who met Ian's eyes, calmly picked up the first card.
Chuck!
The steel that smiles with a hand in front of Ian, is the confidence of your hand.
As he raises one hand, the white light begins to sag over his hand.
Shortly thereafter, it appeared to be a fabulous reckoning.
“Huh...? ”
The moment I saw the lunar eclipse in Cheolwoo's hand, I saw the furrowed hoon and Yoohyun.
It was natural for the two of them to enlarge their pupils.
Above the golden calendar, a remarkable system box appeared.
- Chorus (Mythology) (Transcendence)
And before Ian could stop talking, Cheolwoo quickly began to reconnect.
“Mythical grade cutting equipment. If you're Ian, you know the value of this equipment. ”
“Oh.”
“For all four of you here, I'm going to give you a mythical-grade blowing machine. Isn't this a good reward? ”
The Huns and the Apostles could not keep their eyes off the gospel.
For those wearing only Hero grade weapons, the mythical grade transcendent weapon was enough to make them drool.
Even Levia, who usually has very little emotional distress, has a blank expression on her face.
If it had been one of Ian's three non-negotiating tables, it would have been already slammed and lumpy.
And Iron, who glimpsed the look on Ian's group's faces, nods, satisfied.
‘Yes, this is a generous reward. Especially in Ian's case, you can't get into the chorus, so you'll feel Merritt enough. ’
I waited for Ian's answer with a happy face.
Planning team brains (?) It's worth taking advice from Najchan in advance.
However, it didn't take long for Cheolwoo's expression to crumple again.
Unlike the rest of the group, Ian stopped talking again.
“The end?”
“Eh……? ”
“I mean, is this the end? ”
“That's right…. ”
“You just said that once, right? ”
“Yes?”
“This is just a mythological grade piece of equipment, and you wouldn't want to hit hundreds of millions of EXP points. ”
“Huff... ”
In Ian's story, Chul-woo was speechless.
I thought I had taken out a powerful hand from the beginning, but it was blocked, and I felt instantly light-headed.
However, it was not just Iron who was stumped.
I didn't know that Ian would reject Hun and the Three Nations as well.
‘No, what does that brother get if he refuses to accept the mythological grade of transcendental equipment? ’
Is there another higher rank or tier above the myth? ’
The Huns of Dazed expressions and the Tempest of Dazed expressions.
Levia, who looks similar to the two of you, is confused and awaits the next words of Iron Woo.
I wonder if even the mythological grade equipment will fly away at this rate.
After a while.
Cheolwoo, who had found peace, slowly opened his mouth again.
“Then perhaps Ian has a reward of his own. ”
“Hehe.”
“I don't think there's a better reward in my head than a mythical grade of transcendent weapon. ”
After Cheolwoo's words, the eyes of everyone in the intestine gathered toward Ian's mouth.
Everyone was so curious about what kind of reward Ian wanted.
And Ian's mouth began to fall slowly, as if he had waited for Cheolwoo to say so.
“First of all.”
“ ……? ”
“I need you to tell me the location of all the ruins in Bitterstella. ”
In response to Ian's unthinkable answer, Iron began to get complicated in his mind again.
But the biggest problem was that Ian's requirements were just the beginning.
