Chapter 356: Don’t Talk Bullshit (1)

Of course, all the members of the Borneche Expedition didn’t want to hear it because such a message would only make fun of them when all the ordinary people had already died.

But this time they could not help but glare at the message with great interest.

Especially Andrei, who made the decision to desert the ordinary people, confirmed the message tensely.

[Currently, this is the number of ordinary people who are still alive.

-10563 / 10563]

“?”

“?”

“?”

This message was totally unexpected and absurd.

But there were none who didn’t know what to do after confirming the message.

“Everybody, go back!”

As soon as Andrei shouted, they hurriedly started preparing to go back to the starting point.

Of course, all of them wondered how the ordinary people could survive until now.

But no one bothered to talk about it because it was more important to secure these 10,000 ordinary people than trying to find out how they survived.

Anyway, the Borneche Expedition started traveling back, leaving behind the 5th gate that was wide open.

It’s been a week since I passed the 3rd gate and entered the 4th stage.

Puck! Puck!

[Kheeeeeeek!]

Khuuuuuuuuk!]

Obviously, the monsters here were stronger than those appearing in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stages, but they still could not withstand a single strike of mine.

As a result, I could move leisurely like before.

Of course, I was a bit worried about why the Lich at the 2nd gate was so overwhelmingly strong, but I could not find an answer, so I just slept on it and moved on.

Even if I encountered a stronger gatekeeper at the next gate, I was confident in defeating it anyway.

Until then, I saw nothing except for the monsters.

But I suddenly noticed a fairly large crowd approaching us quickly from a distance. Of course, they could be a bunch of monsters, which was the most reasonable suspicion at this point.

However, I felt something suspicious about the group, which I could not feel in monsters.

So, I quietly opened my mouth because there was only one answer to my question if they were not the monsters.

“Why is the Borneche expedition returning?”

***

The Borneche Expedition at the 4th stage at that time.

“Shit! We spent too much time at the 4th gate!”

“But the message clearly said we needed to wait five days in order to go back. So we could not help it.”

“You bet!”

A five-day cooldown was supposed to occur in order to move back to the previous stage.

So they all moved as fast as they could because they had no choice but to wait in frustration for more than one day in front of the 4th gate. Even though all the ordinary people were allegedly alive, they didn’t know exactly how the ordinary people were doing now, and there was a possibility that the ordinary people might be slaughtered by monsters by a hair’s breadth before they arrived.

In the meantime, some of them began to whisper among each other in a low voice.

“He is definitely going to distribute them to us evenly, right?”

“Of course he should!”

“That’s right. He should give us at least 10 or 12.”

“But do you think that will happen?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Given that they reached at least level 1200 in ‘Revival Legend’ and raised their reality actualization rate, they were quite familiar with such calculations.

Besides, many of them were not solo players, and were affiliated with guilds or organizations.

In other words, there were no individual players here.

So they had witnessed the higher-ups or stronger players claiming more rewards many times.

“If that’s the case, you think five?”

“That’s too small!”

“You bet! I think we should get at least seven or eight per person here!”

“But will the guys at the front agree?”

When one of them said that, they turned their attention to those standing at the front.

Of course, the guys at the front were Andrei, currently the leader of the Borneche Expedition, and Lorraine, the leader of the Orleans Guild in France, as well as the executive officers of the Borneche Expedition along with some other famous guys.

After confirming their presence, another one of them opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Damn it! I still think we should get at least 7 per person!”

“I agree!”

“For whom have we suffered so much?’

“Absolutely! To be honest, he could have taken the ordinary people with us from the beginning, right?”

In the end, they pointed their fingers at Andei, who first mentioned he would abandon the ordinary people. But no one spoke out loud. They just complained among themselves in low voices.

Anyway, they quickly moved through the 4th stage while discussing their rewards.

Even though they abandoned the crowd of 10,000 ordinary people because Andrei regarded them as a big burden, they were not like a mass of gold. So they had to keep moving until they encountered them.

“Hmm.”

Since I was floating in the air, I could find them before anyone else.

So I wasn’t surprised at all because I guessed who they were even before I could clearly see them. But my question was why they decided to come back like this.

Of course, there could be several reasons, but somehow I felt like I knew why. It was to do with the ordinary people.

“Alright. Let me find out when they arrive here.”

So I deactivated Fly, then moved to the rear of the crowd of ordinary people using Blink.

That way I could see clearly what they were going to say and what they would do to the ordinary people.

A little later.

“?”

“?”

“?”

Not only Andrei but also all the members of the Borneche Expedition had no choice but to be startled and dumbfounded, for they had never expected that these ordinary people who should have been at the beginning of the 1st stage had already reached the middle of the 4th stage.

Since he knew what he had to do urgently now, Andrei cried out in a loud voice.

[Everybody, protect the ordinary people from now on!]

“Got it!”

“Understood!”

Obviously, it was Andrei who abandoned the crowd of ordinary people mercilessly.

Some of those who joined him must have felt the pang of conscience, but they agreed to join his expedition team anyway.

With a flourish, however, they dispersed in all directions and encircled the ordinary people as if they didn’t feel guilty at all.

After that, Andrei opened his mouth proudly.

[From now on, we will protect the group of ordinary people and move with them to the end! Of course, make sure you adjust your moving speed to the ordinary people!]

“Alright!”

“Got it!”

Andrei said only what he wanted to say from the moment he appeared here.

And the Borneche Expedition members actively followed his direction.

So the crowd of ordinary people could not help but frown at them because they knew clearly that Andrei and his expedition team had abandoned them.

Moreover, the ordinary people had witnessed Juyoung Hong’s extraordinary power in person.

Even if they didn’t have any experience playing ‘Revival Legend’, they knew what was going on. In other words, they realized how strong Juyoung was, and that they didn’t need the protection of the Borneche Expedition.
