Chapter 22

On the old TV, a male announcer and a female reporter were talking in a loud voice. [Yes! Today’s Middle Earth is also exci! ting! There are a lot of surprising news! And the first news, rankers’ change! It is said that there is a change in the top 10 in the world ranking, which has been solidified for a while.]

[Ah, a month after Middle Earth’s opening, the top ten has always been the same right?]

[So it’s even more amazing! The Russian user, who was ranked 4th before replaced the previous 3rd ranker, who is Chinese.]

[If it is the previous 4th place, isn’t he ‘Agromni Igor’ who is the strongest amongst the Giant race? It is said that he broke the limits of the Berserker job and eventually rose to the third place in the world rankings, the Chinese users will be outraged!]

[Yes, that’s right. From the perspective of Pei Woo, the Number 1 in Martial Artist Class Ranking, he lost his face. It is said that war has already been declared against Agromni Igor’s guild from China’s giant guilds.]

[Chinese tactics! Interfere with competitors’ leveling while raising their level at the same time! It is a large-scale strategy that can be used because it is indeed China. We Korean users shouldn’t be swept away, I wonder how Middle Earth will flow due to the fight between users and guilds from these two countries in the future. What about the next news?]

‘Wow, they’re telling this on air.’

There is a sports section at the end of the 8 o’clock news and a news section specializing in Middle Earth. He has seen it while turning the channel a few times, but it’s the first time Leeha was so focused, because he started the game. It contained much more detail than he thought.

[There’s also news that Ram Hwajeong, the Cryomancer, appeared in Candle Castle, one of the beginner villages. It is even said that the reason was to scout a Korean user, and a small commotion occurred!]

[Ah, wouldn’t it have been huge if Ram Hwajeong, the Cryomancer, is scouting a user?]

[Yes, it is presumed to be having a meeting in the village of beginners with few experts on purpose, according to the informant. In addition to Ram Hwajeong, there was also a person who was believed to be the eldest daughter of Hong Kong’s “Ram Long(Lin Long) Group”, Ram Hwayeon.]

[Ram Hwayeon. She’s the one who started playing directly to discover new business opportunities in the virtual reality Middle Earth, right? If he’s a Korean user that is getting scouted, he is definitely a ranker, but is there any information revealed?]

[Unfortunately, no. However, it seems that he was holding an elongated weapon that looked like a gun.

That is the only information floating around. People are getting curious about this Korean user wrapped in veil-]

“Poo-eup. Kolok, Kolok.”

“Oh my goodness, what happened? Are you okay?” Leeha’s mother patted his back for a while after he coughed.

But Leeha did not feel the pat on his back properly. ‘Ram… … What? Ram Long?’

Ram Long, the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong, it is a conglomerate group that has been reported on the news many times to launch a resort business for a large complex in Korea.

Who is the eldest daughter? That cheeky girl with red hair?

Pyromancer Ram Hwayeon!

‘That’s the reason why she’s so used to talking down on people!

It must have been natural since she was a precious daughter. Leeha stopped coughing and listened to the TV again, but that portion of the broadcast was already over.

“Aren’t you eating anymore?”

“I’m full. I really enjoyed the meal.” Leeha pushed his wheelchair toward the computer. If that much is mentioned on TV, then what’s on the internet?

“Crazy. There was such an uproar?”

Ram Hwajeong appeared at Candle Castle, the number of views on the post with a screen shot taken was 1.8 million. It’s been a few days in game, but in fact, it only happened this morning. It is already very popular. It was taken from a distance, and since the main focus was Ram Hwajeong, Leeha’s elbows and feet could barely be seen on the other side of the table.

The people in the screen shot are Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon, who were sitting at Candle Castle Pub, and Leeha was the person opposite them.

‘That’s great. They didn’t even take a closer look? The image quality was disappointing.’

-If you don’t know.

– Ll_. This is also close.

-22222 crazy. Really sleepy. Is that a human or a doll?

-It’s probably a doll. Did they change their appearance?

-That’s not it. Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong haven’t changed their appearance, didn’t you see them on the news? The real thing is prettier than that one.

Kkulgeok, 1.8 million views and 72,000 comments.

Leeha is only reading the recent comments, but since there are still a lot of comments coming in, he wasn’t able to read properly.

80% talk about the appearance of Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon.

19.9% of the comments are from Middle Earth experts and community users trying to guess his identity.

– He said he was Korean, would he be a ranker if he is getting scouter? I wonder who it is from the top 10 in Korea.

– Isn’t there a separate guild for Koreans? Why does the ranker suddenly want to go to the Hong Kong Kids’ Guild?

– Where can’t you go when money is the king? Don’t you know that foreign guilds pay more money and have better benefits. Is it for a meal?

-1-HA Is Middle Earth a company?

-Better than companies. They make a lot more money. Much more. And 0.1%,

-Who’s on the opposite side? Is that a ranker? The shoes are trash even with the poor quality of the photo.

-Didn’t he come here on purpose? Is he trying to hide his identity?

-You’re smart, that’s possible. Aren’t those the beginner’s shoes that you can’t even sell?

-Doesn’t that mean that he’s not really a low-level player?

-That shit’s wild.

-He’s a Korean embarrassment. Meeting the Ram sisters wearing those clothes and shoes.

-That shit’s really crazy.

-Isn’t that a gun next to him? Musketeer?

-Musketeer, is he sitting in front of them to beg? That job is only for beggars who couldn’t make money. lol

-There are some high-ranking users in other countries.

After reading the embarrassing comments, Leeha only had one thought.

‘When I connect, I have to change my shoes first.’

He was ashamed to have gained fame with beginner items because he didn’t finish the level 5 quest that gives shoes yet. No one will recognize it anyway.

Leeha continued to ponder over his worries.

Was the invitation to join the guild a secret? Will the community be able to figure it out? Wouldn’t there be a way to grow faster with someone’s help?

‘Kijeong must have a guild as well. What if I reveal my identity and meet with the people that are trusted and recommended by Kijeong and play with them?’

It would be much better than going solo.

Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon, I didn’t know who they were and refused to join because I was uncertain.

“No, if I knew the identity of Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong, would it have been okay to join their guild? I don’t know what scouting meant, but once I get help and we had fall out later… … no. No.

The things seen in manhwa about assassins getting sent won’t happen, but I think that if you get the ire of Ram Hwayeon, your daily life can get tough.

Ram Long is the largest conglomerate and can be counted among the top three or four in Asia, the eldest daughter of the group’s chairman.’

“Kkeung, I can’t think of the best way to do it even if I work my head all night. If I reveal myself to the community without any evidence, I will only get cursed.

In fact, there were roughly over 300 texts that were pretending to be someone who received Ram Hwayeon’s scouting offer.

Of course, it is a situation where they only received swearing.

‘First I have to think big. I have to take a screenshot of the Add Friend window, and they won’t believe it if the author level is only 8.’

And what help can I ask for this community? Like Leeha’s impersonators(?), he’ll get or eat a lot of curse.

Leeha gathered information about the Ram Sisters, rankers and things he would need to do after level 10.

“Woo, 10 fox leathers.”

“You grew up very well while we couldn’t see it, Ha Leeha. I didn’t know it could be done so quickly.”

“You’re welcome.”

[Quest completed: Smart beasts]

[Friendship with all NPCs in Candle Castle increases by 10%.]

[Intimacy with the Candle Castle Police Force is increased by 15%.]

[Acquired 50 copper.]

[Acquired ordinary leather shoes.]

‘I did not level up?’

Looking at the window of the system, Leeha sat down. The quest to give the level 5 shoes is given by the Guard Captain Jiat.

Since the fox is a monster who made preemptive strikes, the users are asked to provide information.

As soon as he logged in, he received the quest to hunt 10 foxes and collect skins, and what was worse was the even after completing the quest, he did not level up.

“It’s bad to ask someone who had just finished working but I have to ask someone with the skills like Ha Leeha-kun.”

“Yeah? Oh, the wolf?”

The quest that the users get at level 8 is information that he already knew.

“Oh! How did you know, that’s right. The reason why they come to Candle Castle is actually because of the wolves. When the wolves disappear, the foxes will naturally climb the mountain.”

[Flock of beasts]

Description: The wolves descended from the mountain and the foxes moved around the village.

It is crowded. Let’s get rid of the wolves and restore peace around the village. They are those who live in a group, so you must be careful. Maybe you need the power of colleagues.

Content: Wolf Skin (0/10)

Reward: 10% intimacy for all NPCs in Candle Castle, 15% intimacy for Candle Castle Guard Captain, 1 Candle Castle Blacksmith Weapon Repair Ticket, 50 Copper

-Do you want to accept?

“You also have a ticket to repair weapons.”

“The wolves’ hides are tough, so once you finish your hunt, you will need maintenance.”

Leeha admired it a little.

It didn’t give a direct explanation, and it was increasingly felt that Middle Earth’s beginner system was designed precisely enough to just follow the flow.

‘Although it was not the case, it felt like I was rattled by the aftereffect of hitting a rabbit with the musket’s butt. The money is good.’

Would you like to accept? And Leeha clicked the Yes button next to it.

“I’ll be back.”

“Please. Ha Leeha-kun.”
