Episode 201.
“who?”
“Ian.”
“Again!? Please look at me now… .”
Jung Yu-ra said as if she was genuinely worried.
However, what was different from usual was that this time, instead of worrying about Ian, he was worried about Isin.
Because I had suffered so many things from Lee Shin, I thought that if things continued like this, Ian would really come to Korea with a knife.
“I didn’t disclose any information, but you know where I am and are looking for me?”
“You didn’t know you’d meet me outside either.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it at least more likely than that?”
‘… … That’s true.’
Lee Shin nodded absentmindedly.
Thinking back, it really was just a series of coincidences.
It had already happened once, so there was no reason why Ian couldn’t find the person he was looking for.
But that didn’t change my answer.
“are you okay.”
“what?”
“I win.”
“… … .”
Be confident!
The reason was also reasonable.
Rankers are usually not in good physical condition.
Because I spend so much time in the game to keep up with the rankings, I don’t have enough time to take care of my real body…
Above all, there were originally many people like that.
In the first place, they were people who hated moving around and instead liked to play games quietly, so they ended up becoming rankers!
Thanks to that, I was able to defeat the dragon in the game, but outside, there were many people who were gasping for breath without moving much.
Even if you are concerned about your physical strength, you often only do the bare minimum, as much as necessary.
And that was the case for most of the Shining Star rankers, including Ian.
But this person was different.
Because I knew that my physical condition in real life would affect my performance in the game.
As the gap between your real body and your in-game avatar grows, you will inevitably feel a sense of incongruity in your movements.
Of course, it’s only a very small difference, and it’s something that most people don’t pay much attention to… .
Isin, whose senses were extremely sensitive, could not tolerate that slight difference.
Especially, since Lee Shin was constantly engaging in PVP where such trivial senses were important, this was even more so.
So, just to match the condition of his game avatar, Lee Shin still goes jogging and stretching in the park every morning.
Thanks to this, he had physical strength and stamina that was on a whole other level than that of an average gamer.
Even if Ian came looking for him, in a reality where there are no stat adjustments, it would be impossible. He would get beaten up and dusted.
Jeong Yu-ra’s expression became ambiguous at this explanation.
‘… … Should I call this sincere?’
Or should I say I’m crazy about games?
It was a little ambiguous.
As a result, I can see that I am living faithfully because I am healthy, but if you think about it the other way around, it is because all of that was done to pour all the remaining time into the game.
If you quit the game, doesn’t that mean everything I mentioned above will stop?
This was an accurate point.
Because there was a record of that actually happening.
Now that the life story of college entrance exams is over, it’s time to think back to before you started playing Avala Online 2.
At that time, I had forgotten the time and my skin had turned pale because I didn’t go out so much.
So, didn’t Lee Si-eun, who couldn’t stand to watch, try to send him out by handing him a card?
“No, but there really aren’t many people who can disguise themselves.”
“If there aren’t many, doesn’t that mean there are some? Who else is there?”
“You and Arthur.”
“That included us too!?!?”
“…? I gave it to you.”
“No, but before that, it’s shocking that they even considered us… … .”
Jeong Yu-ra touched her forehead.
This time, they said they would take it out, but… .
In other words, isn’t that saying that if something goes wrong, he’s always ready to disguise himself as a party member and cover it up?
I knew what kind of person this person was, but I thought we were close enough that I wouldn’t betray him, so I couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘… … .’
Thanks to that, Jung Yu-ra was slightly shocked.
The group arrived at the village before they knew it.
Kim Hyun-seong asked.
“Where should I start looking?”
“No, what do I need to find out before that?”
“hmm…….”
Isin was lost in thought for a moment at Jeras’ question.
According to the quest information – ‘A special item in the shape of scissors’ will help break the chains.
When we talk about special items, we usually mean items that have been magically processed, so there is a high probability that they are stored in a place with strict security.
Or maybe it’s a place that’s hard for outsiders to know about.
“Then, should I look for it that way?”
“Right. But….”
However, there was one problem.
When you want information, it is common to go to the guild.
If you want more secret and valuable information, go to an information merchant.
It’s been that way up until now, and other users and guilds usually collect information in that way too.
But since this was such a small town, there was no separate guild.
Since there was no demand (users), naturally there were no information merchants.
Since I didn’t have either, I had to find out what I wanted by running around.
‘In the end, we have to ask the residents… … .’
But if I asked too openly at that time, I could immediately arouse suspicion.
Of course, if an outsider suddenly asks, “Where is the village safe?”, it would look suspicious to anyone.
Naturally, they would only appear to be a group of thieves who came to raid the vault for minerals that can only be obtained in this area.
‘… … I guess I’ll have to do it in the end.’
Yishin licked his lips and came to a conclusion.
Because only you can be free from doubt.
If you are in a state of disguise, no matter how suspicious your opponent may be, it will not affect you at all.
“I’ll go take a look.”
“we are?”
“You guys… um. Are you looking for quests or something? Maybe try raising your intimacy with the villagers later.”
Actually, I wondered if intimacy was really necessary, but I thought it would be better than just teasing.
Kim Hyun-seong nodded and answered, seeming to have the same thoughts.
“okay.”

[Use .]
[Defense power is fixed to 1.]
[When in camouflage, experience gain is reduced by 90%.]
[In camouflage, job skills are sealed.]
“hmm.”
Lee Shin looked in the mirror.
In the mirror, a person who looked exactly like Ian was reflected.
Isin smiled with satisfaction at the sight of his perfectly disguised body.
‘I don’t even recognize myself?’
Having gained confidence, Isin went to visit the villagers nearby.
It was the villager I met by chance on the first day I arrived in the village.
“hey.”
“Yes, yes?”
He looked flustered when an outsider he had never seen before suddenly spoke to him, but soon he let his guard down a little when he saw that Isin was wearing priestly attire.
Although there are some exceptions (especially in the Kingdom of Eton), this was mainly due to the perception that priests were gentle and upright.
“What is the matter with you, priest?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Oh, yes. If I can answer that… … .”
It wasn’t hard to get started on the subject, perhaps because being a priest helped.
Diman, since his guard had not completely disappeared yet, instead of getting straight to the point, he approached him cautiously by asking light questions.
“There are hardly any residents in the village?”
“Because it’s such a barren place… there are many residents and adventurers who are attacked by monsters.”
“Oh… By the way, if you’re talking about golems, are you talking about the ones that roam around the volcano?”
The resident shook his head.
“Oh, that’s not it. Our soldiers, although small in number, are strong enough not to lose to such common golems.”
“then…?”
“But if you go near the volcano, some dangerous things appear. They warn you to be careful, but there are always people who get hurt.”
“Aren’t you planning on cleaning it up? It seems like there have already been some casualties.”
“Uh… That’s true, but I’m not sure about that. They don’t necessarily attack villages unless you get close, so I’m not sure… .”
“okay.”
A villager scratches his cheek and speaks as if he has never thought about subjugation.
Now, Lee Shin has moved on to the main topic.
“I would like to help if possible.”
“Are you a priest?”
“Yes. It bothers me that people are dying every time and they are just leaving it alone. I will ask the church for help.”
[Use skill, .]
[The camouflage is perfect.]
[The opponent’s level is low.]
[The opponent is fooled!]
“…!! Is that true?”
“Of course.”
Although it was just a random remark, the residents were fooled.
It was due to the level difference, perfect camouflage, and Isin’s high proficiency in the skill (because he used it so much).
“However, to request support, we need to know the exact information about the enemy. Do you happen to know anything about that golem, or rather, that monster?”
“Uh uh… … .”
“You may tell me about other people you know.”
“Hmm,” the resident replied after thinking for a moment.
“The village chief probably knows.”
“Chief? Is there anyone else?”
“Probably not.”
“I see. Where are you?”
“The village chief….”
[Obtain location information.]
[The map is refreshed.]
Only the village chief knows about the golem.
In other words, it meant that the needed to break the seal were probably kept by the village chief.
‘Here it is.’
Lee Shin’s eyes sank.
* * *
Lee Shin went straight to see the village chief.
“Are you the village chief?”
“Yeah. Oh, you… .”
The village chief, who had already heard the general story from the villager, opened the door to welcome Isin.
And as soon as the village chief opened the door, Isin bowed his head and pretended to greet him, then stabbed him with his sword.
Phew!
[The surprise attack was successful.]
[Fatal blow!]
[The opponent’s stamina is…]
“Ugh… Ugh!?”
And then thump!
He quickly covered his mouth and went into the mansion, closing the door.
There were some people around, though….
Because it was such a natural gesture that followed from a normal greeting, no one noticed that the village chief had been attacked.
‘good.’
[I killed the village chief!]
[Gain experience points.]
[Your notoriety will rise dramatically.]
[Caution!]
[If this terrible fact were to become known to the townspeople or the vigilantes…]
‘That’s fine.’
It wasn’t something I had done once or twice, but I was used to it now.
After passing over the warning message and clearing out the village chief, Isin strode inside.
And then he started looking around the inside of the mansion.
‘hmm.’
What you are looking for is a safe or a secret space.
As expected from an experienced person, Lee Shin found both of them shortly after.
I found the safe in a secret space beyond the closet.
[The safe is locked.]
Of course, the safe is locked.
He could have searched the house for the key, but Isin went a bit simpler.
Since I’ve already done it so badly, it won’t be noticeable if I do it more.
I just used the soundproofing spell and then destroyed it with the sky splitter.
Kwakwakwang!!!
[The safe has been destroyed!]
[Obtain the .]
[You obtain the special item, .]
‘also.’
Lee Shin smiled with satisfaction.
As expected, the scissors were in the village chief’s safe.
But, there was one more thing besides scissors.
[Obtain .]
[You have obtained the special item, .]
[We’re getting a little closer to the hidden truth!]
“……hmm?”
