Chapter 46: The Fourth Round of Death (1)
A walking dead man?'
Hwang Yongmin scanned his surroundings, taking in the scene.
All eyes were fixated on this spot, completely drawn to it.
Caught in a gaze reminiscent of a predator eyeing its toothless prey, Hwang Yongmin involuntarily shivered.
Witnessing this, Ryu Min couldnt help but smirk, breaking into a subtle chuckle.
Dont fret too much. When I said a a walking dead man, its merely figurative. In reality, there wont be many people actually aiming for you.
What? You mean they wont be targeting me?
Considering youve experienced what its like to be a zone representative, you should know better, right?
Jo Joong-sik had put his trust in Hwang Yongmin, only to be betrayed and meet his demise.
As a consequence, Hwang Yongmin suffered the penalty of reduced stats, transforming into a feeble existence.
The position of zone representative, which once held promise, had yielded nothing but unfavorable outcomes.
People have started to realize that being a zone representative isnt the coveted position they once believed it to be.
Erm
Moreover, with more players changing jobs, the scope for exercising command power has drastically diminished compared to the risks associated with the representative title. In essence, it lacks the merits it once held.
Ryu Mins words rang true.
The status of zone representative had lost its allure.
If given the chance, Hwang Yongmin would eagerly relinquish the authority to someone else.
Even so, I no longer have authority on these people
Hwang Yongmin cast his gaze around once more.
The players seemed disinterested, casually diverting their attention elsewhere.
Did they only turn around because of what Black Scythe said?
He had presumed himself to be the target, but it turned out to be a self-induced illusion.
In fact, they went so far as to avoid eye contact, seemingly unwilling to become entangled.
They truly had no interest in assuming the representative position.
This somehow feels unjust
Just as Hwang Yongmin wore a despondent expression, someone approached.
It was Seo Arin and An Sang-cheol.
Why are those guys here?
Momentarily taken aback, Hwang Yongmin instinctively flinched.
He couldnt help but remain cautious, suspecting they might have their sights set on the representative role.
However, their attention wasnt fixed on Hwang Yongmin.
The imposing presence of the Black Scythe acted as a barrier between them.
Ah, hello, Black Scythe-nim.
Seo Arin and An Sang-cheol respectfully inclined their heads.
Do you remember us?
Of course. But what brings you here?
An Sang-cheol cast a sneaky glance in Hwang Yongmins direction.
We wanted to express our gratitude once again for saving us from those ruffians. Our companys representative also wanted to extend his gratitude for rescuing us. Oh! Speaking of our representative
Thats enough. Im not interested.
Ryu Min attempted to avert his gaze.
Wait!
Seo Arin urgently interjected.
B-Black Scythe, this this is a token of our appreciation for your assistance. P-Please accept it.
Seo Arin presented a low-grade purple magic stone.
This is an unexpected reward.
A glimmer of excitement flickered in Ryu Mins eyes.
We thought it would be more fitting to offer something tangible, rather than merely expressing our gratitude verbally
Thats a thoughtful gesture. I graciously accept it.
Ryu Min effortlessly stowed the magic stone in his inventory.
Theres no reason to decline such a valuable item.
Moreover, combining two magic stones of the same grade and color can create a higher-grade magic stone.
Ryu Min contemplated the possibilities as he surveyed the scene, his thoughts swirling with newfound insights.
I should gather some low-grade magic stones and keep them for later. Given the number of prying eyes here, its better to be cautious.
He didnt want to disclose unnecessary information.
Besides, the current strength of the magic stones was more than sufficient, so there was no urgent need to infuse them further.
Nevertheless, its quite generous of them to offer me something like this. I appreciate it.
Lost in his thoughts, Ryu Min found himself inadvertently gazing at Seo Arin, and her unspoken thoughts reached him.
Did he like it? I hope he doesnt feel disappointed by receiving what might seem like an insignificant stone.
He realized she underestimated the true value of the magic stone.
No need for her to know.
As Ryu Min shifted his gaze, he coincidentally caught a glimpse of Hwang Yongmins thoughts.
I have something similar to that.
Really now?
A glimmer danced in Ryu Mins eyes.
Does that guy possess a magic stone too?
With Hwang Yongmin under his scrutiny, Ryu Min delved deeper into his hidden intentions.
However, it turned out that Hwang Yongmin didnt possess a magic stone; instead, he had an even more remarkable item.
He has a [Black Gold Ore]?
Black Gold Ore.
It was a material item that bore a resemblance to a magic stone and dropped with an incredibly low probability when defeating monsters.
In fact, obtaining it is even more challenging than acquiring a magic stone.
Though encounters with Black Gold Ore becomes more frequent after the 10th round, obtaining it in the current round was as rare as capturing stars from the sky.
To think he possesses such a precious item and it got revealed to me. Is it good fortune or misfortune?
Ryu Min barely suppressed the rising curve of his lips.
With Black Gold Ore, he could create unique items in the next 5 rounds.
Oh, by the way Black Scythe? Do you happen to need a protective barrier?
Seo Arins words piqued Ryu Mins interest, causing his eyebrows to raise.
A protective barrier?
I recently switched to the Summoner class.
Summoner? Seo Arin?
Although not as unique as the Dark Knight, it was still a decent class.
In the early stages, there was a player who gained recognition as a Summoner but struggled to level up.
Of course, that player wasnt Seo Arin.
I can summon a fairy to provide a protective barrier. If you ever need it
I appreciate the offer, but Ill pass. I dont think Ill need it.
Ah I understand.
Disappointment tinged Seo Arins expression.
Well, then well take our leave. Good luck in this round
Best of luck to you.
