[Guild]BbyumiTheBbyumi: Bbyhaha Bbyumi found it

[Guild] First of all, I found it: I also found a sister, 1st Lufthansa

[Guild] Purely healing: Is there a sea train there?

[Guild] First of all, let me say this: Yeah

[Guild]BwimiTheBwimi: SuguBwimi

[Guild] Purely healing: Okay, ok, okay

How long has it been since the notification that Vivi and Jinseong ran away from the fight?

Sun-soo finally confirmed Jin-seong’s location.

It only took a few seconds for me to open the [Guild] window with lightning-quick movements, click the [Guild Party Teleport] button, and as soon as the world map appeared, find the zodiac and click on the Lufthansa region.

It was an action so skillful and fast that I couldn’t even count how many times I had done it. It was an action that saved several times the time compared to moving using the dock or the Philasia ship.

‘Why on earth do you want to fight? There’s nothing for you to do, old man. No, old man… … Before winning, there’s something… … .’

Pure was thinking.

It was true that from the moment Jinseong asked her to buy 78 of them in the past, Sunsoo had felt a subtle sense of discomfort.

‘I could understand up to the set. Same thing. Even when you asked me to buy it for you, even stammering and putting periods, you definitely gave off an ‘elderly’ vibe.’

However, Jinseong’s attitude towards buying the property right after that was clearly strange.

Even taking into account the existence of the ‘young employee who handed the set to Jinseong’ in Sunsoo’s mind, it was incomprehensible.

‘There used to be a tip about defeating monsters with a hundred concessions and then attacking them, but that’s not it. It’s not even used now. I can understand sealing used items and giving them away, but there’s no way I’d tell my boss at work that weird tip without properly looking into it.’

As the possibility of the ‘existence of a young employee’ in Sun-soo’s mind disappeared, her thoughts had no choice but to turn elsewhere.

So then what is the true identity?

How did you get the set without any help from those around you, and why did you need so much of it?

‘It’s over there.’

And at this point, why are we doing [Let’s Fight!] in a place like the Lufthafen of Heaven?

She found the truth.

The image of him facing the Berserker character and entering a magic circle, the image of a sword stuck between the two, and most of all, the image of the true nature and Berserker’s ‘health bar’ that is visible to even the innocent.

‘Berserker… … Huh? What the heck is this guy? Level 75, Berserker, , , ? When on earth is this Dungeon & Fighter item from?’

Why go [Fight!] in the Celestial Realm while wearing epic gear that looks like it could have been used a few years ago? Is it just for fun?

The eyes of innocence shone.

‘If that’s the case, there’s no need to do it twice. Just looking at the fact that this user, Ah-haeng, won in the 2:1 situation a little while ago… … In the current 1:1 situation, Jin-seong alone would be at a disadvantage.’

Actually, it was visible to the innocent as well.

[Let’s Fight!]’s internal situation, that is, the scene where Jinseong and Ah-haeng swing their swords at each other, may not be visible, but there is something that can be seen by users outside, regular users coming and going on the field, and that is the ‘health bar’.

Jinseong’s stamina is considerably worn out, and the stamina of the user named Ah-hang is slightly higher than his.

We can roughly infer the current situation within [Let’s Fight!].

Perhaps Ah-hang has a slightly more advantageous situation.

‘That’s right. Winning takes effort… huh?’

It took a moment for me to think that way.

It happened in an instant.

Berserker user, Ah-hang’s health bar was depleted in an instant.

Sun-soo glared at Ah-hang, who had lost nearly half of his HP and was now at a disadvantage compared to Jin-seong.

Due to the nature of [Let’s Fight!], it is difficult for low-level users to defeat high-level users.

Above all, it is difficult to reverse the obvious differences in equipment.

‘How can this be? I’m winning? At this point, my level should be just a thug. Moreover, this is an epic item, and Jinseong-nim-. Oh, did you change to another epic item from the set?’

Only then did Sunsoo realize that she had not yet grasped Jinsung’s state.

She immediately placed the mouse cursor over the real character and checked [Character Information].

“What is this…? ? What is this? Th, this… How did you get all the equipment, not just one part?”

This is not equipment that you get simply by clearing dungeons and hunting monsters.

Of course, it doesn’t exist in the [auction house] either.

Even if it exists, it is unlikely that Jinseong bought it.

As expected, what immediately caught her eye was [Sealing Count 0/7].

‘It’s a non-tradable item. If someone had sealed it and sold it, the number of times it could have been sold should have increased by at least 1. In the past, the number of times it could be sealed was 7/7, so I told Jinseong that it would effectively be a bound item… … .’

In other words, all of the five pieces of equipment currently worn by Jinseong are ‘equipment that he is using for the first time’.

[That’s right! Are you going to continue? Just tell me quickly and leave! Ah-hang, you weren’t originally like that! Back when you were a Gilma, you were a bit unlucky in showing off, but you were a good person with a lot of knowledge!]

As she was gathering her thoughts about what had happened, Sun-soo saw another chat.

It was a female gunner profession mechanic user speaking from a distance.

‘Ahh… … Gilma’s days… … Who are you? What are you telling me to do?’

Sunsoo stopped for a moment and watched.

Is it because I still know more about the concept of [Let’s Fight!]?

She couldn’t help but be surprised.

[Totally a bluff, 100 percent! I was the type that didn’t have many adventurers in the original game, so what’s going on now!]

Because Vivi was having a conversation.

It’s just a chat, you can just type it out.

[Let’s Fight!] It is possible because chats written outside of [Let’s Fight!] are also visible to people inside [Let’s Fight!].

But we can’t have a ‘conversation’ like this now.

Looking at the current situation of [Let’s Fight!], the user Vivi is probably not in a party with Jinseong.

‘… … What you say inside the Fight Room is not visible to people outside the Fight Room. No, recently, chatting inside the Fight Room has become impossible. And you can’t just cheer them on, you can have a conversation like that? It’s impossible!’

That is, it is normal that you cannot have a conversation with the people inside [Let’s fight!] systematically!

Sun-soo stretched her neck out and looked at the screen as if she was being sucked into it.

Because she could no longer believe what she was seeing, she eventually got involved.

[What? Who are you talking to now?]

Need to check.

I have to ask.

[huh?]

As soon as Vivi’s chat came up, Sunsoo’s long fingers quickly moved across the keyboard.

* * *

Vivi’s large eyes turned towards Jinseong again.

What should I say?

But what could Jinseong do if he met those eyes?

My desire to open my mouth was like a chimney, and many possible methods were coming to mind, but it was difficult to choose any of them.

‘Whispers did work for me. I also confirmed that I could whisper to other users.’

The conversation system, which is output as /w [name] [conversation], can be used even in a frozen situation.

Jinseong’s voice, which was whispering while covering his mouth with both hands, clearly reached Sunsoo at the time.

The question is, will the system work on Vivi? Will it work on the possessed as well?

‘If I try it rashly – what if my voice just flows out… … .’

What if you whisper something like, ‘Just say no. Get over it. Just don’t answer and stay still’ and then Soon-soo hears what you say?

Jinseong couldn’t open his mouth carelessly because that would only make the situation worse.

You have to make a choice, even if it’s in a different way.

How? What should I say to Sunsoo? Jinsung, Vivi thought.

Sooner or later, Pure said.

“Right? I don’t know why we’re fighting here.”

“Don’t they usually do this a lot at Hendonmeyer?”

“Weren’t you trying to have a fight with Jinseong?”

“Didn’t you meet again then?”

Each and every word that was thrown out one after another was enough to make Jinseong’s eyes widen.

Jinseong looked at Vivi and then turned his head to Ah-haeng.

‘An alarm that ran away from a fight!? Was that also spread as a system-wide notification? Are you saying that the notification is still popping up?’

As if reading Jinseong’s thoughts, Ah-haeng nodded slowly.

At least, it should be said that this is a fact that Ah-haeng, who probably tried [Let’s Fight!] until recently, knows more than Jin-seong.

“Ah. Can you hear me?”

Ah-haeng blurted out a word.

Jinseong and Vivi’s heads turned towards Ah-haeng like lightning.

Ah-haeng briefly met the eyes of the two people shouting, “What are you doing?” and then gestured to the floor with his chin.

‘Why the floor? No, the floor… … Wait a minute.’

At that moment, Jinseong also had a realization.

What is the structure of [Let’s Fight!] in the game Dungeon & Fighter system?

[Let’s Fight!] is proposed and accepted by two characters, a magic circle is drawn between the two party leaders, and a sword stabbing effect occurs.

And then what?

‘The background is the same as the town map, but the surrounding NPCs and characters are invisible… … It switches to a battle-only map. Okay, so now for Pure… … .’

It seems like Jinseong and Ah-haeng are just standing there blankly on top of the magic circle.

In reality, the two were already far away from the magic circle because they were fighting, so if Sun-soo had found it strange, she would have pointed that out first.

Only after realizing what the sight of the pure was like could Jinseong understand the situation.

Why was Ah-haeng able to speak?

“I guess what we’re talking about here is only heard by those outside, right?”

“Idiot… You don’t know anything about rotten water. Users who rush into a fight can’t even chat. You don’t know that about rotten water?”

Ah-haeng sighed and laughed at Jin-seong.

Jinseong got angry for a moment, but he knew that now was not the time to deal with him, so he shouted at Vivi first.

“Hey, I haven’t tried it, so of course- Vivi! First, say it’s true! And say that you were cheering… after all! After all, the user in front of us can’t hear our voices!”

However, the problem is that what Ah-haeng and Jin-seong perfectly understood was not properly conveyed to Vivi, who was practically in a panic when Sun-soo was right in front of her.

“yes?”

Vivi spoke to Jinseong as if asking him a question.

There was no way that Pure could miss it.

“Not you.”

“That’s right.”

Jinseong shouted as he heard the pure voice trying to grab the bait right away.

“Rain, Vivi! Just- just keep your mouth shut and listen! Don’t react! What Ah-haeng and I are saying right now is only heard by Vivi, and the people in front of you, the users, can’t see it!”

“ah.”

However, the fact that one must not make a single sound, literally meaning ‘one must not make any sound at all and breathe lightly’ was not conveyed.

Vivi let out just one syllable, and Sunsoo immediately turned her head away.

“ah?”

Whoosh, Seraphim of the female priest profession looked at Jinseong.

Jinseong was facing a buffer and healer job with an appearance that was almost like an angel, but now he felt like he was exchanging glances with the devil.

“Did you just talk to Jinseong?”

“hit?”

Sun-soo looked at Jin-seong and said.

Of course, the chat itself was directed at Vivi.

This time Jinseong was a little faster.

“Ms. Vivi, don’t answer! First of all… First of all, stay still. It’s better to pretend not to notice.”

Vivi didn’t even nod her head and just covered her mouth.

Jinseong rolled his head as he watched her gasping for breath.

The biggest problem, of course, was the awkwardness of the situation.

‘You can just say that the situation itself was like hanging out with friends. If you try to beat around the bush, it’ll work. But the problem is… ‘

It’s wearable equipment.

There is no way that Sunsoo didn’t see it.

Why did you take a break and check instead of asking right away after seeing Vivi talking in the chat?

She would have obviously checked the status of her own items. Not only that, but we have to assume that she also saw Ah-hang and Vivi’s items.

‘I don’t know if it was other users, but why this human… I don’t want this crazy, crazy person to know my full item status! Anyway, I’ll do something-.’

─────────────!

In an instant, a golden light fell over Jinseong’s head.

‘Level up effect- Ah!?’

The surprise was brief.

When I turned my head, Ah-haeng had already disappeared into the distance.

“Let’s see next time. I will definitely repay you someday.”

Even leaving a word that would embarrass Jinseong.

“Runaway decision?”

“? What? It’s not like I got kicked or anything?”

Pureun asked at a rapid pace.

Jinseong felt like crying.
