The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 86
Episode 86. (3) Yusra Kingdom
blooming in the swamp .
The ancient kingdom, in which capital and labor were invested, has taken on the appearance of a plausible city. With a bustling figure comparable to that of Arcana’s big city in the past.
“Yeah. Every day is different.”
The corner in front of the Golden Palace Square.
Players gathered at the Golden Calf Tavern.
The days when Arcana was just a game.
I used to kill time at the tavern like now.
“It really reminds me of the old days. Isn’t it?”
It was the first time since Arcana became a reality and they became players.
Looking at the scenery of the nostalgic tavern, I felt as if I had returned to those days, even for a moment.
“Wow, I’m not kidding, are those mobs?”
A large screen hanging on the outside wall of the pub.
The playing screen reminded me that this is not a memory but a reality.
Players, as well as Arcanas who are no longer NPCs.
It is still broad daylight.
The drunken shadow mercenary leader was drunk.
“Aye. that. Tell him to get rid of that lump of hair.”
Kichi’s hand holding the glass trembled.
What stimulated kitsch was the mass of muscles blocking the screen.
“Just pak! hit Shook! avoid.”
It was a lock kid.
Although there were not one or two people who were uncomfortable because of its size.
“What are you doing to be frustrating, you bastards!!”
“…madam. Your ears will fall off.”
“what? speak out loud I can’t hear you!!”
With only the stinging eyes.
There was no stopping Rock Kid, who was fascinated by modern culture.
Rockkid picked up the whole beer.
Swig gulp—
A predator zone where the fight never ends.
My throat burns with excitement just thinking about it.
Lockkid emptied his glass one after another and said.
“leader! Do we have any plans to go somewhere like that?”
“Hib. Even if I go, I won’t take you with me. You suck.”
“What?! What nonsense is that!”
“I just cover the entire screen. Even if I’m offended…. Hib!”
Fluffy—
Kichi stretched out on the table at the end of that drunkenness.
“Wait a minute!”
Rock Kid stood up to shake Kichi to wake him up.
“I can see something now.”
“I can’t even say anything about that…”
“Let’s be patient. You know the nature of that muscle mass.”
Players stuck out their tongues at the truth about Rock Kid.
Because there was someone who couldn’t lift his head at their ugliness.
Arcana like the Shadow Mercenaries.
It was the Explorers’ League.
“A nuisance is such a nuisance. My face is all red for no reason.”
“no. This is how people live. what.”
“It’s a predator zone, though. It is understandable to be excited.”
League of Explorers.
Literally, a group of explorers.
The conditions for joining the federation were simple.
be an explorer.
Naturally, if you were an explorer class player, it was basic to join the Explorers League.
The explorer class had to explore dangerous areas in order to level up.
However, compared to the combat class, the explorer’s combat power is poor.
It was thanks to intelligence that such explorers could survive until now.
“Why are there so many rare things in the Predator Zone?”
The duty of a strong man is to exchange information, help each other, and live among explorers.
Park Hwigang’s eyes sparkled at the words of the Alliance Explorer.
“Are you talking about the spoils that monsters fight each other for?”
“Well, that’s common knowledge. There are other loot too.”
“Are there any other loot? In a swamp like that?”
“Sure. But is it because you keep saying this? My throat is burning a little~”
Of course, exchanging information bare-mouthed is not the way to do it.
When Hwigang Park ordered a beer, a smile spread across the explorer’s face.
“Oh, I’m fine. Then I will be grateful.”
Klopp—
and then continued to speak secretly.
“nice. Have you heard of medicinal herbs?”
non-herb?
Of course I know.
Grass-like things used as ingredients for potions.
“Right. Herbs that are commonly thought of as potion ingredients. But that’s the effect of non-herbs that are really commonly known. Are there other really rare medicinal herbs? But true Even among explorers, very few people know about this….”
He blurted out his words.
It means that there are no snacks that go well with beer.
Park Hwi-gang, who was quick to notice, ordered.
“Can we have chicken here?”
How about this, this is the modern culture of chimaek.
You can’t go on without giving out information, can you?
Indeed, after eating one chicken leg, the explorer spat out words.
“Precious non-herb is said to permanently increase physical abilities.”
“…yes? Is that possible?”
“Because it is possible, we are treated with dignity. Among them, non-herbs that permanently increase magic power. Rumors circulated only among explorers who once knew. Even if you find one, you can play and eat for months.”
“!”
“I heard that there is a high chance that such a rare non-herb will grow in a special area like the Predator Zone. Although explorers like us really risk our lives to acquire them. Life allowance is to be found.”
Permanently increase physical abilities?
It meant that [stats] would be permanently increased.
Park Hwigang’s head rolled quickly.
‘I don’t know how much it increases the stats.’
Even if it’s only 1, the effect is huge.
Because it was said that it was equal to the value of level 1.
Except for leveling up, of course.
There was a way to raise the stats.
However, there was no need to consider that method.
‘Because class quests aren’t something everyone can do.’
only one in class.
Class quests can only be started by those who meet the conditions.
Sounds like it has nothing to do with most players.
So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that elixirs are traded at exorbitant prices.
‘Because the higher the level, the harder it is to raise one level.’
Soon, Park Hwigang prayed with a fan heart.
‘please!’
I hope Ho-yeol learns even one non-herb…!
Wasn’t it Park Hwi-gang, who, thanks to Ho-yeol, had a lot of nettube subscribers and views? I wanted to convey this precious information to Ho-yeol, but…
there was no way, so the only thing I could do was pray.
however.
“crazy. What is that skill?!”
Park Hwigang’s thoughts did not last long.
conversion angle.
The figure of Ho-yeol that appeared on the screen.
Because there’s not enough magic there.
Because there was Ho-yeol who even held a sword in his hand.
“What is that?”
The first to react was Rock Kid.
How to see as much as you know anything.
Rockkid recognized Hoyeol’s posture while holding the sword.
So, without realizing it, I raised the corner of my mouth.
“The old man didn’t say anything unnecessary after he dressed up!”
As they said, Ho-yeol was clearly a strong player.
The fighting instinct of a seething Rock Kid.
Even though he knew that he was an opponent he could not challenge, his blood boiled.
But Ho-yeol’s activity had only just begun.
The ensuing magic frost of heat.
Astonishment broke out again in the pub at the appearance.
“The swamp is freezing over.”
“I don’t think freezing magic is normal freezing magic either?!”
“Hey, you specialize in ice barriers. What is the name of that skill?”
“I don’t know. I still have a long way to learn a skill like that.”
Lockkid, who had been silently watching the screen, nodded.
“Yes, it’s enough that I got caught in the snow in Frost.”
The heat that makes even the truth rock kid control his anger.
Seeing that scene, Park Hwigang had no choice but to change his mind.
Do you think such ho-yeol needs an elixir?
Yes, what was needed was faith, not prayer.
Park Hwigang, who had attained enlightenment, reverently recited:
“Homen.”
*
A vast swamp of predators.
The news was delivered to the players who were each focused on hunting.
“You said Ho-yeol came too? really?”
-I didn’t know. They said it went straight into the crack.
“No brother! I’ll even bring you some tea you like!”
From Nam Tae-min and Nam Cheol-min brothers who are happy to see each other.
“Did you hear my sister?”
“….”
“Lee Ho-yeol entered the crack~”
We said it clearly?
Can’t you make an excuse that you didn’t know because you were fighting?
Leoni, a berserker completely immersed in battle.
“You really have no morals!”
And even to the Shining Guild.
It was Dmitri who acted rudely as usual.
At least this time, I could sympathize with that motherfucker.
Pod!
Camilla let go of her bowstring and brushed her loose hair.
“You are greedy. Our Ho-yeol.”
The greedy Lee Ho-yeol.
Jesse is not enough, so he came to clear this crack.
“…Our Ho-yeol? You two don’t even know each other, do you?”
“Is it right to ask that part?”
“what? What does that mean?”
“No~ I understand why you’re not popular with girls~”
“Why are you suddenly giving a damn?!”
Two people bickering.
Shining’s guild master Rox didn’t get involved in the fight.
ongoing battle.
A head that rolls apart from him.
Now that I realized that I am an underdog.
Because I couldn’t afford to waste time on myself.
‘Lee Ho-yeol entered the crack.’
Could he have found these cracks because he lacked experience?
I was pretty sure it wasn’t.
It was obvious that even if I hunted in the proper level 500 rift, I wouldn’t even get a message about the experience required for Ho-yeol. Yes, Ho-yeol must have another reason for finding the crack.
It seemed that Rox’s guess was correct.
“wait for a sec.”
The apex bow master of the archer class.
Her field of vision befits the title of pinnacle.
Ho-yeol was caught in Camilla’s field of vision.
exactly.
“What else is our Ho-yeol doing?”
Stairs embroidered into the air.
Stepping on the stairs confidently.
The figure of Ho-yeol heading somewhere…!
“I knew that too.”
That’s why it’s Lee Ho-yeol.
Including the Rox I guessed.
It was only natural that all players’ attention was focused on Ho-yeol.
*
…It’s understandable that the rankers were acting out.
The amount of experience required increases each time you level up.
[Beast Predator Anaconda: Lv.530]
[Cruel Scavenger: Lv.550]
As you can see, I hunted higher level monsters.
The increased level was level 10.
[Level: 324]
Although I can’t fully understand Arcana’s complex experience point system.
It must mean that there is a significant difference between catching a 500-level monster at level 200 and catching a 500-level monster at level 300.
In fact, there was a difference.
‘I wonder if I can afford it.’
Simultaneous operation of swordsmanship and magic.
Unlike the first time, I was able to defeat the enemy without being too nervous.
Of course, this terrifying adaptability too.
It’s because I don’t have enough magical talent.
It must have been thanks to Grandfel, who possessed the potential of a body that was second to none.
[Blighted Crossbow] – [Rating: Magic]
[Blighted Crossbow Bolt] – [Rating: Magic]
[Minor Storage Belt] – [Rating: Rare]
The loot obtained from defeating [Cruel Scavenger] is also three.
There must be a reason why you were carrying something around.
Among the three trophies, the one worth paying attention to is the [Minor Storage Belt]. It had the practical effect of slightly expanding the inventory.
of course.
“It’s a dropout.”
Although it was lousy from the aesthetic point of view of Grandfel.
‘There is no point in selling.’
Leaving aside the innocent personality.
Because I had the rift clear reward.
If it was Lee Ho-yeol in the past, it means that he has accumulated so much money in his bank account that he cannot sleep comfortably even for a day. That means there’s a lot more compensation to be paid than that.
‘So I have to use it properly.’
I definitely felt it through today’s experience.
Well, the more holes you dig, the better.
That’s what I remembered.
Among the 20 schools that exist in the Mage Tower, it was the study of enchantment.
While preparing for the regular conference, I read dozens of books on enchantment. To summarize the core of the school, it could be summarized in two lines.
『Effects can be extracted from items.
The extracted effect can be applied to other items.』
It seemed easy just by listening.
The problem was in the process.
Because item magic tools were one of the areas that even the world’s magic towers couldn’t conquer.
I heard that there are not one or two items that are blown away in the process of extracting the effect.
‘I was always downhearted. Probably.’
Senior Mage of Enchantment, Kiko Armin.
Pretty small physique.
That was not enough, she was walking around with her waist bent.
If the Mage Tower were a company that focused on performance.
Kiko’s enchanting department must have always been a department that recorded losses.
It means that Kiko’s attention has its own story.
But none of that mattered to me.
I boldly declared.
“All success requires failure.”
Yes, because I was determined to root out the pillars of the Mage Tower.
I will advance the science of enchantment by sacrificing the capital items of the Mage Tower.
The material that would be used was the [Insignificant Storage Belt].
‘Because the more room there is in the inventory, the better.’
I thought there would be a lot to take care of from the rift in the future.
why are you like now
Sussu—
I stepped up the stairs as soon as the battle was over.
The reason for climbing the stairs was simple.
An elixir that glowed at the top of the Chukira tree.
It was to gather the four colors of mistletoe.
‘To think it was mistletoe from the beginning.’
[The pentagram of pure knowledge].
The vast knowledge acquired through him was telling.
this is awesome
The contemplative mistletoe had the effect of permanently increasing physical abilities, meaning that it permanently increased stats.
speculation.
True to its name, the four lights.
That’s a whopping 4 points of ability.
Simply put, it’s worth 4 levels.
Horrible training class quest How many times is this worth?
furthermore.
Methods for cultivating non-medicinal herbs in advance verification by regular academic societies.
Didn’t you witness the potential of that research?
If the research yields successful results…
‘It is possible to mass-produce non-medicinal herbs such as mistletoe.’
It’s not that I’m making a fuss for nothing.
realizing it again
After all, wells have to dig a lot of holes to live in…!
befitting its tremendous effect.
The contemplative mistletoe grew in an inconspicuous place.
Be it a human or a monster.
Because it boasted an appearance and effect that would inevitably fascinate the viewer.
I never thought I’d be at the top of a tree like this.
‘I almost missed it too.’
If [Cruel Scavenger] hadn’t gnawed the tree.
“Thank you for your sacrifice.”
Proudly say thanks.
Praise me for investing points in [Luck].
It takes a while to climb the stairs while envisioning a thrilling future.
I reached the top of the giant tree.
I found a four-colored mistletoe.
…But what is it?
More than four-colored mistletoe.
“…!”
A rare ‘existence’ drew my attention.
