Chapter 483
TL: xLordFifth
ED:
Leeha, with a look of tremendous loss on his face, sighed and slowly opened his mouth.
If I ask for help later, you have to help me at least once.
Huh? Is that all?
Is that all? You have to prioritize my request without considering the time or place.
Shin Nara tilted her head in thought while watching Pyro ponder. She was intrigued by Leehas mentioned keyword, an achievement in the new continent that increases strength and intelligence.
Nara: Leeha-ssi, about that achievement you mentioned
Leeha: Ah, yes. Its the cow paleo intimacy achievement I mentioned to Nara.
Nara: Youre going there anyway, right?
Leeha: Yes, thats right. Well, even if I didnt mention it if Nara and I move together, Pyro will follow, and hell get the achievement incidentally but I thought its better to make a deal in advance.
Shin Nara gaped at Leeha.
Nara: My goodness Leeha-ssi, you do realize you sound a bit like a villain right now?
Pyro, who hadnt yet heard about the mermaid transformation or other information, would follow Leeha to hear the story. While Shin Nara was increasing intimacy with the cow paleos, he would be doing similar work. In essence, Pyro could gain all the information and achievements he needed just by silently following Leeha!
Leeha was essentially extracting a help me chance from Pyro using the information he would have to share anyway as leverage.
Leeha: Oh, come on. A villain? I just painfully realized the need for one more ally to survive in the new continent. And who knows if we get closer, maybe I can find out about another achievement related to agility from Pyro.
So, Leeha was subtly extracting more achievement information from Pyro?
Shin Nara wanted to say that was a bit too much, but it was already too late.
Alright! Someday, just once, without complaint, manly! Ill help.
Now that Pyro had accepted, he couldnt escape Leehas trap.
Okay! Lets go! Blaugrunn-ssi, we have to walk for a while, so hop on!
[Kyukyu, KyukyuKyukyu!]
The bronze dragon hatchling flapped and perched on Leehas head.
Pyro, watching Leeha with the dragon, felt an inexplicable sense of trust, but that was exactly how he was being properly fooled. Moreover, all of this stemmed from the death of Puols.
What, what?! The pet I snatched away with [Charming Gaze] died, didnt it? Did Ha Leeha notice?
Chiyou, far away from Leeha, Nara, and Pyro in a meadow, was clearly flustered just by looking at the system window revealing who really helped whom. Although Leeha risked being discovered for all his movements since leaving the gorilla paleos underground city, it was actually Pyro who saved him but ironically, Pyro was the one being fooled.
Of course, neither Leeha nor Pyro could know this fact. Wary of another danger like Petyr emerging, the trio cautiously headed towards the cow paleo village together. After reaching and hearing all the information from Leeha, there was a minor(?) incident of Pyro erupting into a pillar of fire, but anyway, the second and third users to achieve the cow paleo intimacy achievement were soon determined.
Still, I told you how to increase intimacy quickly, so its not like I lied. Without my help, would Pyro-ssi have been able to do it so quickly?
Uh, well ummm so
Pyro was at a loss, unable to determine if he had been tricked or not. Once caught up in Leehas pace, it was inevitable.
Anyway, we have less than an hour left now.
As the trio had become somewhat closer during their journey and time in the cow paleo village, Shin Nara could speak with a lighter heart. Leeha, too, understood the time she was referring to.
Yes. The real exploration of the new continent is about to begin.
One hour before the Warp Gate opened. Various users from the Lope continent, including those wanting just a taste of the new continent, would flock in countless numbers.
[A Warp Gate of the Warp Gate Association has been created.]
[From this time, all users can freely travel between the Lope continent and the Erika continent.]
When the new sun rose in the Erika continent, a notification window appeared in front of all users.
Ugh, Im tired.
Creak, creak, Leeha pushed his wheelchair towards the kitchen. Normally his mother, who would wake him and prepare meals, had recently stopped doing so.
[Son, make sure to eat well! Im going to meet with the interior design company!]
Heh, shes really enjoying herself.
Leeha smiled, looking at the small note on the table. Ever since signing the store contract, his mothers face seemed to brighten every day, and it showed even in her notes.
After the opening of the Warp Gate to the new continent, Leeha parted ways with Nara and Pyro. The two logged out immediately, but Leeha did not. Only after walking to the cow paleo village on foot and completing the intimacy building did he log out.
Still, I have the carp paleo and wild boar paleo left to deal with. Need to get those done quickly.
Originally planning to conquer all four paleos in 24 hours, his plan changed due to the Shin Nara and Petyr incident, and then getting involved with Pyro and moving together.
Well, at least I didnt lose anything. I managed to get two agility achievements from Pyro too hehe.
Leeha chuckled, thinking of the earnest young mans expression. Different from Kijung, Kidd, or Luger, he was an amusing person to tease his reactions and the suspense of not knowing when he might explode were enjoyable(?).
Speaking of which, today is just 2 weeks left.
Leeha checked his calendar. He had to depart for Hong Kong in exactly 14 days. While using Middle Earths time would extend the perceived duration, it already felt imminent to Leeha.
Ugh, really. Why suddenly Hong Kong? Need to buy a good translator. I dont even speak foreign languages Ah, what an inconvenience.
The excitement and apprehension of his first overseas trip. While he grumbled, Leehas expression was bright. What to wear in Hong Kong, what to pack, how many nights would it be?
Ah, right. How many days am I staying? I only noted the departure date.
Leeha realized something he had overlooked. Even upon rechecking his e-ticket, it was the same. The return flight to Korea wasnt listed on the plane ticket prepared by Ram Hwayeon.
What? Why?
Kiddnapping? The thought was absurd enough to consider only briefly. It was an idea that had been laughed off until now, but suddenly, there was a need to understand the purpose behind Ram Hwayeons preparation of the plane tickets.
I guess I have no choice but to ask within Middle Earth. I need to stop by Gaza City as well, its been a while.
There was a need to investigate not only the settlement money but also the suspicious relationship between Petyr and Chiyou. It was necessary to gather intelligence from Bottleneck and, if possible, mark the achievements of intimacy with the remaining two paleos for a cleaner operation.
First, Ill start by checking the community while eating!
Even while snacking on something from the fridge, there was a persistence in checking the community. Leehas entire attention was focused on Middle Earth. This obsessive playing pattern was the source of monstrous strength.
[Title: How do I increase intimacy with the Red Goat paleo, these sons of a gun?]
[Title: Any users out of Red Wood? Monsters keep popping up like crazy?]
[Title: LRe: Theres a path opened by Byulcho Guild. Its manageable if you take that route.]
[Title: Ah, even the special grade crystal balls cant save between the Old and New Continents, damn it.]
[Title: Look at the wood prices in Kravens auction house, its crap now.]
[Title: I heard Alexander already killed a mystical creature, is it true?]
[Title: Is the talk about that even real?]
[Title: Look at the level of the New Continent. To solo you need at least level 250.]
Most of the topics were inevitably related to the New Continent.
Perhaps because the concept of users was instilled in the paleos, they didnt immediately attack all users like they did when the first expedition members arrived at the New Continent.
However, the difficulty in raising intimacy was extremely high, and just a few offending words could easily turn them hostile. Once hostile, youd be expelled from the tribe.
If you didnt leave and resist, some users even ended up getting killed.
In other words, users who didnt approach with an open attitude like the New Continent expedition members, even if they managed to reach Erikas New Continent, would end up wandering without a special sanctuary.
Even if I cant buy potions or equipment from the Paleo tribes, there are warp gates, but that wont be easy. Using the warp gates between the Old and New Continents would cost a fortune every time.
The problem was that ordinary or special-grade crystal balls used by regular users couldnt be saved and be used between the Old and New Continents.
You either had to use the expensive warp gates powered by mana relay towers or use at least rare-grade crystal balls.
Sigh, no matter what, rare-grade crystal balls cost a fortune Ah! But how much was it?
Leeha didnt know. He had never bought a crystal ball with his own money. The high-quality crystal ball with at least 20 slots given by Ram Hwajung was a rare-grade crystal ball.
Most users complaining in the community hadnt even made it out of Red Wood.
Fortunately, the path chosen by Leeha, Kidd, and Luger had no monsters, but the vast Red Wood was infested with significant monsters.
As Leeha read the posts, he also came across several familiar and surprising names.
Kijung, that guy, is raising his fame again by hunting non-stop.
Byeolcho, sweeping up monsters in Red Wood and protecting the newbies of the New Continent. Of course, they were hunting because they wanted to, but the praises for their good deeds were growing day by day.
And another rumor was about Alexander.
A mystical creature killed, no way
The advantage for the New Continent expedition members was 5 days.
But to call it just would be an understatement; they were a race that used time most efficiently. The fact that the Three Musketeers were investigating Kaztor and then Leeha investigating several paleo tribes was proof enough. What could Alexander, who was with the Ancient Gold Dragon Bailephus, be doing in the meantime?
But really, it seems crazy, but it might be possible for that guy.
