Even if you make food using the same ingredients, the taste of the chef varies greatly depending on the skill of the chef.
Yoosung has two cards.
One was the three items he was supposed to receive from the rankers by impersonating the manager, and the other was the aggravated atmosphere due to the fake hidden piece.
Yooseong’s original plan was to scatter items received from rankers to random rankers and non-rankers to cause a dispute.
However, there was one problem with this plan, or to be precise, a pity.
‘No matter how much fire and wind blows in, the scale of the fight won’t grow beyond a certain point. At best, we’ll end up fighting for a day or two, or at worst, we’ll end up fighting each other.’
After falling into a different world, his values didn’t change over the years, and he wasn’t used to killing anyone.
For most people, at least a few items were not enough to motivate them to fight for their lives.
The purpose of this plan was to waste the time to be spent hunting monsters in the wrong place, not to make them fight to death.
However, everything changed the moment a new hand called the Regressor was added.
‘… … A fight to the death. I think it’s possible if I do well?’
A few items aren’t enough reasons to fight for your life.
But what would happen if he mobilized all the things he had done so far, such as selling fake information, distributing fake hidden pieces, and various scams?
If it all happened under the plan of some people, and if some people were few enough to count on one hand, would people even try to avoid a fight then?
‘There is an opportunity.’
This plan can proceed only if the regressor is not in town.
Yuseong headed to the southern area just in case, seeing the group of regressors who had waited all day but couldn’t see them, immediately took action when they saw the group of regressors who had caught the boss monster and headed to the east area where the only boss monster remained.
“Did you hear that? Did someone say they saw a beggar in the northern section?”
“the poor? What is it?”
“You know that. The one that appeared on the third and fourth days.”
“What? That bastard showed up? Really?”
“I don’t know if I’ve heard rumors. But what’s unusual is that he’s not alone, but he’s in a group.”
They just don’t know who the culprit is.
People knew that everything that had happened so far had been done by someone with malicious intent, and they were looking for the culprit with their eyes open.
Meteor began spreading information about the culprit, that is, about the regressor, to those people.
As it was originally, rumors without substance would not have received a great response, but as always, Yoosung skillfully mixed the truth with lies.
“The boss monster in the northern section has been captured?”
“Really. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Nonsense. Who said that he caught a monster that even high-rankers couldn’t dare to catch?”
“If it’s those swindlers, we can catch them. Even if the most conservative estimate of fraudulent damages so far is 2 million gold. If you invested all that money into skills and items, it’s a boss monster… … .”
A mysterious swindler and a mysterious and powerful party that suddenly appeared.
When these two facts are put together, there is only one conclusion.
“Those bastards are swindlers!”
People’s reactions were absolutely furious.
And the meteor drove the final wedge into the atmosphere just before it exploded.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“… … .”
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything you want to ask?”
“Oh, no. There are so many things these days, I stop without knowing… … . Hmmmm, did you come to strengthen the item?”
“Yes. There are only three items available.”
“I want to strengthen these.”
“Enhancement takes place in a special space that only administrators can access. It will take a long time until the reinforcement is finished, so please wait here.”
Is it because I was fooled too much?
There were people who hesitated from time to time, but as if they hadn’t thought that they would impersonate managers, the rankers handed over all the items without missing a single one.
After that, things were simple.
The group of regressors used the item as bait, and the angry people spread the story of seeing a person wrapped in bandages running away, dragged them into a random place, and started a fight between the two groups.
Fu-wook!
“No, no, no!”
To be honest, I was embarrassed because it was so easy.
A party of regressors who had so much faith in themselves took the bait with disheartening ease, and those blinded by rage were easily fooled by the incitement.
‘The damage should be increased as much as possible.’
It was difficult for one side to win easily for Yuseong, who was aiming for a higher rank.
Binding his feet with thorns in his first battle was just the beginning.
Meteor adjusted the balance in such a way that he helped the rankers if the regressor’s party became dominant, and helped the regressor’s party if the rankers prevailed, and as a result, the damage on both sides increased exponentially.
What he was doing now was also part of the balance adjustment.
“Wait, is that an item over there?”
“What nonsense… … . uh?”
Two men who seemed to be friends looked bewildered when they found an item that had fallen on the floor.
It is not a cheap item that only looks good, but a fairly high-performance item.
Originally, they were going to go back to the village, tired of the battle that was much fiercer than they thought.
Although the item was a waste, it was not enough to risk their lives to fight.
However, when I got the item I had given up, I changed my mind a bit.
‘It’s the same performance as the original one. If I get two more, I can repair the damage.’
‘If I could pick up an item that fell like this without having to fight… … .’
The two men who shared the armor and boots exchanged curious glances for a moment, then turned and returned to where they were.
Yuseong, who was looking at the figure from a little distance, lowered the bow he was holding with a satisfied smile.
If he had just picked up the items and tried to go back to the village, he would have fired an arrow at least, but thanks to his quick-witted friends, he was fortunately able to avoid bloodshed.
Even after that, Meteor flew around and inspired people to fight in various ways.
‘It ends tonight.’
The time limit for the preliminary stage is 15 days, but it is not known exactly when it will end.
In an extreme case, the preliminary stage could end as soon as the date passed by 15 days, so I had to finish everything before the end of today, the 14th day.
It wasn’t difficult to find a group of regressors.
No, I didn’t even have to look for it.
It was because the place where the most people gathered was the place where the regressor party was.
No matter how regressive, it was impossible to escape or hide from the eyes of hundreds of people unless they had the talent to rise into the sky or sink to the ground.
‘I’ve given up on camouflage.’
At first, they looked for a place to hide, such as a tree top or a crevice in a rock, but after three days and three nights of pursuit, realizing that such efforts were futile, the regressor party began to rest in a suitable place.
A total of three numbers.
A regressive young man and a boy and girl who looked like siblings.
The middle-aged man who was in charge of the tank role had exceptional defense, but he collapsed this morning because he could not withstand the accumulated damage from numerous ranker attacks.
‘It was good that I killed the priest in the first place.’
The moment the priest was lost, the regressor’s party’s combat endurance was greatly reduced.
Besides, since there are a lot of them, they can take turns resting and recovering from accumulated fatigue, but since the number of regressors is small, there is no time to properly rest.
The young man, a regressor, seemed to have some stamina left, but the brother and sister had sunken eyes, so it wouldn’t be strange if they collapsed right away.
Sigh.
Meteor aimed an arrow at the group of regressors.
The regressor did not aim.
Even if you try a clumsy surprise attack on a guy with more sensitive senses than animals, it will only waste arrows.
What naturally remains is the brother and sister side.
Yooseong, who looked at the boy and the girl alternately, soon set a goal and set up a demonstration.
Crack!
A satisfied smile appeared on the girl’s face as she hit the arrow that was flying towards the boy’s heart.
But it took less than a second for that smile to change.
This is because the bounced arrows exploded and created a thick fog around them.
Wedgebird color!
Countless number of special arrows flew through the fog.
I couldn’t aim accurately because of the fog, but it’s only a slight error, so I can cover it enough with the abilities of the special arrow.
“Kyaaah!”
“Now!”
“Everyone get out of the way! I’m first!”
As the girl’s scream resounded, people who were looking for an opportunity like hyenas began to rush at them.
The first to arrive was Ha Seo-joon holding a huge spear.
“Die!”
A spear flying with a vicious cry.
Its speed and momentum were different from those of a few days ago.
It was because he recovered his skills to some extent with the items he obtained after defeating the regressors.
Caang!
A sword came out of the fog and blocked the flying spear.
The speed and momentum of Han Sang-jin’s sword were also different from those of a few days ago.
However, unlike Ha Seo-joon, he changed his rank to the bad side.
It was because his stamina was almost exhausted from the chase and repeated battles that lasted three days and nights.
“Are you tired? I thought there was a fly on the window.”
Despite Ha Seo-joon’s ridicule, Han Sang-jin showed no reaction.
If he had the power to speak, it would be advantageous to conserve that power and swing the sword at least once more.
The rankers who arrived after Seo-Jun Ha began to calmly attack Sang-Jin Han.
It looked like it would fall if hit, but no one was caught off guard.
It was because I had seen Han Sang-jin break through the siege several times with incredible abilities.
“Mmm.”
Watching the life-and-death struggle between the regressors and the rankers, Yuseong fell into a small agonizing over which of the two to help.
‘Although the regressors are outnumbered, there is a high possibility that hidden cards remain. If you rushed to help and the rankers were wiped out and the regressors stayed strong, the aftermath would become a hassle. However, if you help the rankers, the number of survivors will increase too much. The best outcome would be for both sides to be annihilated, but there’s no chance that things will go that smoothly. To observe the situation… … .’
widely.
little footsteps.
Yoosung reflexively aimed his bow at the place where the sound came from.
A girl with a familiar face appeared from beyond the darkness.
“… … You were here.”
