Chapter 22 Party Play (8)
“I know you.”
“huh?”
“I have a deep relationship with that little boy’s family and the owner of this mansion, so I see him often.”
After calmly explaining, I pushed Taeho’s hand away from my shoulder.
“Hmm… … Shouldn’t there have been connections on the beast side as well?”
“It’s just a familiar face.”
“I thought there would be no more surprises, but it isn’t.”
“Are you going to stay there? Sit.”
I turned to the sofa and offered a seat.
Yang Tae-ho sat across from me with his buttocks pressed while continuing to peek at Belta.
As if being wary of Yang Tae-ho, Belta also went down under the sofa and poked her head out over the table.
After watching the confrontation between humans and beastmen for a while, I opened my mouth to refresh the atmosphere.
“Anyway, you came quickly.”
“uh? Uh-oh, I pushed him into the hospital and came back quickly.”
“Is your wife okay?”
“I should have scheduled the surgery. It’s not that I went all the way to Seoul after tying up that I wasn’t going.”
Yang Tae-ho’s wife says that she has been receiving treatment for her liver problems.
It would be nice to have a liver transplant, but his wife, who was burdened with the cost of the operation, kept refusing the operation.
Since the status quo can be maintained to some extent with medication, I don’t think I wanted to spend a lot of money.
“If you have the same blood type as me, I’m going to donate. Looks like I’ll have to go back on transplant day… … .”
“You can adjust the time.”
“Oh, thank you so much for saying that.”
Only then did Yang Tae-ho look away from Belta and said with a smile.
“How have you been? The community is abuzz about Palao, but did the mission go well?”
“Yes, what.”
“Is Grandi so groggy?”
“You haven’t washed yet since you came in, what?”
Yang Tae-ho must have had some time to spare, and now he looked around the room and showed his curiosity.
“How long have you been living as a girl?”
“Now. You can also stay in the next room for a while. I’m done talking.”
“now? Then what about later?”
“I’m thinking of setting up a separate party base soon.”
It’s something I’ve been thinking about.
‘Though there are still things to be finished.’
Moving out of the Bennet Mansion is already a decision.
“Well, you have to do what the head tells you to do. Damn, you only have to stay in the mansion?”
“Please. I have to go out and hunt tomorrow.”
Making Yang Tae-ho into a steal is a top priority.
That way, you’ll be able to monopolize the 3rd and 4th polluted lands as a party unit.
‘Only 10 people can receive a random box from 4 stars.’
This is the maximum number of people in the party. I guess that’s the amount of clearing the system wants.
If 200 players tried to attack in units of 10 players, it would be impossible for them to be equal players.
“You can rest today.”
Right now I needed a break too. I haven’t even washed yet because I’m playing with Belta.
“Ahhh, how about grass in a good place? My heart is beating wildly… … Wow!”
Yang Tae-ho, who had been exclaiming in admiration like me when I first entered this mansion, suddenly jumped up.
It was because Belta crawled under the table and stabbed him in the leg.
“What, what! What! Hee! Don’t touch me!”
Around the time Yang Tae-ho, who climbed onto the sofa at the speed of light, screamed in fright.
Knock knock, someone knocked on the door.
The faint hum from outside the door was familiar.
So, I roughly predicted the identity of the sudden guest.
“Hello?”
However, as soon as he saw Kim Yul laughing bessiily poking his cheek through the open door, he almost reflexively closed the door.
bang-!
The silence that started right after the door was broken was short-lived.
“hehehe.”
Because Kim Yul, who opened the door with a smile on his face, pushed his face in.
On the other hand, I looked straight at Kim Yul.
“Try more.”
“My brother doesn’t like cute things.”
Kim Yul pursed his lips and grumbled.
At that, my eyebrows went up.
If it was my girlfriend who just did that, I would have endured it.
But where do I use the aegyo of a guy wearing the same thing as me?
In addition, Kim Yul grew taller in the past few months.
Now my shoulders are way over, and my shoulders are broad enough to be like mine.
Thanks to that, little of the cute image from when we first met remains.
“Just do your business and go.”
As soon as he coldly changed his clothes, Kim Yul’s expression relaxed with a smile.
“Ah, what a business! I just came to see you.”
I shook my head excitedly at the clever answer.
“hmm? Are there any passengers? hello!”
In the meantime, Kim Yul, who had entered the room as naturally as water, greeted Yang Tae-ho.
“Uh, nice to meet you.”
Yang Tae-ho greeted me with an awkward smile, and I punched Kim Yul in the head as he trembled.
“Don’t pretend it’s not, it’s disgusting.”
“hehehe, I’m not fooling you.”
He must have been playing somewhere in the mansion even before I came.
Because the whole community was buzzing about the mission dedicated to the Church of Palao.
He must have been waiting for me to come back after finishing the mission.
‘Lashar likes this guy quite a bit, so he would have given me a room.’
It was clear to my eyes what had happened while I was away at the mansion.
‘And while pretending not to pretend.’
I clicked my tongue and sat down.
On the other hand, Kim Yul, who leaned under the table, stretched out his hand with a smirk.
“Hello, Belta? My brother is here.”
“Kick!”
Belta, who had shown interest in Yang Tae-ho, freaked out and ran away.
I let out a laugh as I watched Belta quickly open the door and leave.
Whenever I saw Belta avoiding Kim Yul like that, I was amazed.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Kim Yul was friendly with everyone in the Bennet Mansion.
The first time or two, he visited to meet me, and quickly became friendly with the servants in the mansion.
Chentler and Rashar were no exception.
When he had a chance, he showed high-quality singing and dancing, and even threw light humor, so there was no one who disliked it.
Almost at the level of the mansion’s idol?
Thanks to that, I was able to come and go to the Bennet Mansion as if it were my own.
Belta was busy running away when she saw Kim Yul.
‘Well, if I get caught, it’s natural that I’ll suffer all day.’
If Kim Yul said he only saw Belta, he is busy holding her like a doll and loving her.
“Who is this anyway?”
After Belta left, Kim Yul’s attention turned to Yang Tae-ho.
“You don’t belong to Palao… … .”
“You are not from Palao either.”
The symbol above Yang Tae-ho’s head is Temoria of Endurance.
The symbol above Kim Yul’s head is Pinelpenia of diligence.
Among the two people from different camps, Yang Tae-ho was the first to introduce himself.
He looked at Kim Yul and me alternately, then smiled awkwardly and held out his hand.
“Ahhh, the introduction was late. Tanker joined this time! My code name is Pudding, and my real name is Tae Hoji.”
“… … joining?”
“By the way, why isn’t this friend on the party list?”
“… … Party list?”
Whenever Yang Tae-ho spoke, Kim Yul’s head tilted to the side.
Then at some point, the guy who looked back at me with a swish, his eyes twinkled and screamed.
“Cuddle me too!”
I looked at Tae-ho Tae-ho’s hand, which remained in the air, and looked at Kim Yul.
“Did you throw a party? I, too, will support!”
“What, you weren’t a party member?”
Leaving the bewildered Yang Tae-ho behind, Kim Yul pushed his face toward me.
I pushed his face away in annoyance.
Of course, I calmly pondered my thoughts.
‘Wasn’t this guy a b*tch too?’
The equipment Kim Yul had seen before was clearly for short range dealers.
Two daggers strapped to his waist, and two smaller auxiliary daggers on his thighs.
‘It would be a bit light to use as a main.’
I didn’t intend to throw it away because I was planning on having a proper party.
Recalling the hunting he had done with Kim Yul, he wasn’t a very satisfactory candidate.
It was only once, but at that time, there was nothing about Kim Yul that caught my eye.
‘But even now, it’s too early to dismiss it as clumsy.’
In the meantime, he must have worked hard, so I wanted to give him a chance.
“What is your position?”
When he showed a positive attitude, Kim Yul’s voice gained strength.
“Both dealers and supporters are welcome!”
“property.”
“Storm, Level 3.”
I looked at Kim Yul and added one more word to the question.
“Middle class?”
“Did you rise from the lower class?”
“Hoo.”
These were pretty good conditions. It meant that Kim Yul could have a level 4 attribute.
According to the information revealed so far, attributes are more important than hard work.
‘I wonder if there are people whose elemental magic doesn’t rise even when they use attribute stones.’
Such people should go all-in on normal magic instead of receiving attribute magic as a mission reward.
Of course, even if you are lucky enough to have an attribute, there are huge individual differences in ratings.
Basically, low-level attribute stones grant 2-3 grades, intermediate grades 3-4, and high-level attributes 4-5.
If you use a low grade and get a 2nd grade, it means that there is no further possibility.
There were even those who used intermediate and advanced attribute stones, but the 4 elements belonging to the 2nd class appeared.
‘It’s like those guys were born with second-class attributes.’
On the other hand, there are people who have a 3rd class attribute as a lower attribute stone.
This means that they are likely to buy Intermediate and give it another try.
In fact, there is a review in the community of a guy who raised a grade 3 attribute to a grade 4 attribute by doing so.
‘Taeho hyung said it was a grade 3 stone with an intermediate attribute.’
Kim Yul rose to rank 3 from the lower ranks. You can also aim for 4th grade with higher attribute stones.
That possibility alone is worth considering recruiting.
‘That may be the limit, but… … .’
To be honest, 3 is not a bad rating.
According to what has been revealed so far, more than half of the players do not have attributes.
More than 70% and 80% of the remaining half are 2nd grade belonging to the 4 elements.
There were not many players with attributes of 3 or higher.
‘A storm must be the wind at its base.’
This is a very useful property.
Basically, fire and wind are related to attack-type magic, and earth and water to defense and support-type skills.
Among them, Fire is completely focused on attack, while Wind is a well-balanced combination of attack and support.
If you can raise it to level 4, that’s great.
Tuk Tuk Tuk, I lit my knees and organized my thoughts and asked the last question.
“What skills do you have?”
Kim Yul opened the status window as if he had been waiting for that.
I went past the non-public section and looked at the list of skills and spells.
Skills: Mana management (66.14%), Brata dagger technique (lv.1 – 99.68%)
Magic: Invisibility (100%), Stealth (77,32%), Dagger Throw (lv.2 – 53.11%), Wind Blade (44.91%), Restraint (67.24%)
‘fairly… … .’
good night.
There was no magic that could be put forward as a main AoE, but that’s why I liked it more.
‘This composition is perfect for a serve.’
Instead of lacking firepower, there were many support types of magic that were perfect for the sub-dealer position.
In addition to that, there’s even stealth that I don’t have.
Furthermore, Kim Yul belongs to Pinelpenia of Diligence.
It is a place where the title of Chaser is given as a church buff.
‘The effect of the title was unusual.’
I heard that you can get a glimpse of past phenomena through various traces, including footprints and bloodstains.
It was different from magic detection, which could only confirm whether there was magic or not.
‘Because I’m just following the trail.’
You can think of it as a backwards compatible version of the Pinelpenia power that I used to peek into Rashar’s past.
Overall, it is an appropriate combination to perform search, infiltration, and sub-dealer roles within the party.
It was safe to say that this was a status window made for the position of the sub-dealer.
“her.”
It’s not like I didn’t know why Kim Yul was messing around around me.
Seeing it in such a clear form gave me a different feeling.
I looked at Kim Yul’s smiling face and said in a light tone.
“I’m going hunting tomorrow, let’s see your skills.”
“I can show you right now! I am a prepared trainee, no, a prepared talent!”
I heard that he was an idol trainee, but he does his PR very well.
But I have no intention of leaving now.
“Do it tomorrow, tomorrow. I said I finished my mission this morning.”
“Then will you let me sleep today?”
As I waved my hands and spoke, he asked me back in a quiet voice.
“You already have your room.”
“hehehehe, I caught you.”
The guy who dived into the empty sofa as it was started to smile.
I didn’t hate what he was doing, so I shook my head and laughed.
Afterwards, I introduced Kim Yul to Yang Tae-ho, who was looking at us with a bewildered expression on one side.
“He’s the little brother I’ve known since the beginning of the game.”
Because Kim Yul didn’t introduce me.
“The code name is Kei Jr., you may have heard the conversation, but joining has not yet been confirmed.”
Even if you’ve known each other for quite a while, if your skills aren’t good enough, you’re not willing to accept them.
“Huh, then he’s not a senior, but a junior?”
“That’s it.”
I nodded my head and answered, and Kim Yul abruptly spoke to Yang Tae-ho.
