ACT 5 The Knowing Eyeball
Kung kung, kung kung
“Master, I’ve found one here!”
Baekgu’s nose which was pressed to the ground twitched like a dog and he shouted
“I understand, wait a minute”
Buksil ran over and looked through the bush, instantly finding a vegetable that looked like a carrot But when he grabbed the stem and tried to pull it out, the root broke
-Ingredient Foraging has failed
<the ingredient=”” has=”” been=”” daed=”” and=”” it=”” has=”” lost=”” its=”” value=”” as=”” a=”” cooking=”” material=””>
“damn, this one as well!”
Buksil becary and threw the broken carrot away Then he wiped away the sap which had dripped onto his body
“This is u, let’s rest for a bit”
“But we haven’t filled the quota for today yet”
“Eh, I don’t know, it’s too hot Even if I find the ingredients, I can’t successfully harvest them”
“But if you don’t fill the quota…”
Baekgu started treined ould happen Buksil also winced and muttered
“I’ll just rest for 5 minutes”
“……Yes”
Baekgu approached the shade of a tree and kneeled down Buksil sat down near hihed as he counted theh work Didn’t he have to go to the field directly to collect the ingredients? It was a e a around Most of them were hidden in bushes and were difficult to spot In the swaredients was half of the number normally found in other places But the hardest part after finding it was actually gathering the ingredients
‘The probleu’s sense of smell’
That wasn’t the only problem In reality, it was still possible to eat the food even if it was a little da it out But there was no such systeathering then the ingredient couldn’t be used anymore In addition, it was suredients was no different from hard labour
‘Even though I’ exploited……’
Until now, he had redients in one day which Ark was satisfied with Then after setting a caredients started being consuredients quota also increased and he received ed after Ark found the Suspicious Cave The amount of dishes eaten could increase thanks to the Monkfish redients a day
‘100 ingredients a day? No redients are sold for, that is still exploitation! It ’
He could get an average of 3-5 gold for 100 ingredients It wasn’t a bad incoredients But he honestly didn’t care abouthours in the sun
‘But……’
The biggest problem for Buksil was that he had no other options It beca a few days ago After being with Ark for a while, he knew his personality It was only good if he wasn’t caught That was the survival strategy he developed after travelling with Ark
‘Phe will I collect the reh then I’ll be hit… damn, I’m like Cinderella’
He was abused by his stepmother (Ark) and his new older sister (the su about the heavy labour he was currently facing caused tears in his eyes Then ould Baekgu be?
‘I nohy people like raising pets’
Buksil looked at Baekgu with fond eyes and Baekgu shook his tail
‘I can’t iu anyu And I can earn u with food Ayu, this is my fate’
After providing Baekgu with food, Ark had roughly 70 silver left as profit frou with old a day So he had to u not Ark became a source of comfort for him Therefore Buksil stood up and said
“More monsters appear when it is dark and it’ll become more difficult so we should find them now”
“Yes, Master”
“Shall we head towards that forest this time? Let’s see…Eh? Huh? Eh eh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, that… daht”
“Caught?”
“It was caught It appears to be caught somewhere Please don’t move”
“Is it the one attached to Ark-nim?”
“No, that’s the right eyeball The one that is caught is the left eyeball”
Buksil redients, he also had to filht eyeball with Ark So he never had both eyes because the other one was needed for scouting Currently Baekgu was level 310 He was stronger than the ather ingredients away froainst monsters without Ark Razak and Racard were suu was an NPC If he died then that was it So it was always necessary to check if there were anyHowever, it wasn’t that easy
While his two eyeballs were set free, the ic projector was attached to his head and he always had to confir So he didn’t have to be in the same area to film the video Anyway, an ordinary person like Buksil was controlling it A person couldn’t look at three screens at the same time If he was careless even for a bit then his eyeball would soh hell training with Ark but even he had a limit
“damn, I’ll have to take back that eyeball”
Buksil complained as he run to the forest It was a dense forest where the bushes were overgrown It wasn’t a problem to look for the eyeball When the eyeball was set free, there was always a separate ing the direction of the eyeball
“Ah, there it is My eyeball!”
After following the arrow, he poked through the bush and was able to find the eyeball that was stuck Buksil pulled out the eyeball from the bush and rubbed it with his sleeve It hen he tried to send it away again Suddenly he heard a sound from the side
“……Are you certain?”
“……I made the necessary preparations……”
“……I’m worried… It’s been two days…”
‘Are those voices?’
He had been here for 10 days but it was the first time he heard voices This was an undeveloped land so there weren’t ht be a monster who talked like a person No, he still had to be careful regardless of whether it was a monster or user
‘If I meet a chaotic user here then it will be chaos’
Buksil winced and his expression becaap in the bush where he could hear the voices The bush see a cave Buksil confirmed it and became worried It was best to avoid redients around here for a while so there was no guarantee he wouldn’t run into them
‘Don’t they have a partner as well? If I hide here then they can’t find me’
Buksil pushed his eyeball carefully through the bush He controlled the eyeball and steered it into a wide open space
‘Aren’t they users?’
Around 15 users were gathered in the e the wall,to listen to their conversation Then one man surveyed the area and muttered
“It’s good that you ed to find a place like this”
“It is better to be careful”It is better than working in the light”
“That is correct”
Then a smile spread on the face of a man with a X shaped cross on his cheek called SunfishThen a handsoue and muttered
“Why would you choose that face when you started the game?”
“Is that how it is? It h Who would want a pretty face like yours? Is the Nah at you”
“What did you say?”
Naht crossed his arms and said
“Shut up, please calm yourselves down”
“I’-nim”
With one single sentence froht, the two s Thebehind the scarred roup in the cave was divided into two sides, and Jepeteu and the hobbit seemed to be the respective leaders
“That is like the price of a luxury vehicle
What happened to all the money you earned? If yourSeutandal than that amount can be easily recoveredIn addition, the law hasn’t really conflicted with the pirates yetI just want to anization here”
“The guys under roup co expenses for my subordinates will decrease”
“Just enforce some discipline on them”
‘Dangerous!’
Buksil becah the eyeball He couldn’t co the men said But he understood clearly that they were chaotic users Although he couldn’t confirm it with the 『Penetration』scroll, it was obvious from their conversation that they were chaotic And chaotic users were theto an isolated merchant!
‘This is serious Chaotic users are wandering around this place…
It was clear that those guys weren’t low level He should return to the caredients It was lucky that he discovered them first Luckily they hadn’t seen Buksil so he could still escape Buksil observed their movements with the eyeball and withdrely It hen he was carefully retreating His heel see and there was a loud sound
“Master, it’s dangerous! Ugh!”
Baekgu grabbed Buksil then moaned and collapsed He looked back with surprise and saw that a shi+ning blue arroas eh
“Tr-trap? Baekgu!”
“What was that sound?”
“Outside Someone tripped one of the traps outside!”
The voices of the group in the cave were clearly heard
‘This is serious!’
Cold sweat dripped down Buksil’s back A merchant had been discovered by 15 users If even one chaotic user wasthe users then Buksil’s fate was decided If they were pirates then the [Robbery] and [Plunder] scrolls were a basic part of their equipment And there were 15 people He would instantaneously becoht
“Baekgu, run!”
Buksil got on Baekgu’s back and shouted However, Baekgu had an arrow in his thigh and couldn’t run properly The group inside the cave exited with their swords drawn
‘No, this can’t happen!’
In this desperate situation, Buksil suddenly came up with an idea
‘That’s right, there is a way to bind their feet!’
“Stupid bastards, we’re the Seutandal’s autonoroup You’re all surrounded!”
A loud voice was suddenly heard behind the group The group who had ran up to Buksil flinched and started to protect their bodies But there was nothing behind the group Yes, the voice that was shouting just before was his eyeball! Buksil had hidden it behind the group and then used the coh the forest
“What, what the?”
“There’s nothing here?”
“That bastard! He used soe technique!”
The group belatedly realized that they had been tricked and ran after Buksil One of the archers used ‘Eagle Eye’ on Buksil and shouted
“T-that is… A ic projector is attached to his head!”
A look of confusion spread on Jepeteu and Garrett’s face
“What? Then he was recording everything about our ?”
“When did he start recording? Surely not fro?”
“daic projector!”
“Horse, grab the horses!”
Garrett ran into the cave and pulled out their horses Garett got on the horse and glared at Jepeteu
“I thought this place was safe? What are you going to do about this problem?”
“……Don’t worry about it” I’ll do whatever it takes to retrieve it Hey, tell the situation to the other kids and intercept him The rest of you chase after him with meArchers will take the lead”
“I understand Track!”
The archers used tracking and chased after Buksil The fifteen people raised a cloud of dust as they chased him

‘damn……’
A frustrated sigh flowed fro here…he died because of Ark…but Isyuraanization of wanted criht his task had succeeded However, it had been aIt was natural when thinking about it They anted criht then they would spend between 1-10 years in jail They also doubted their parents and siblings so it was natural not to trust Isyuram
‘I’roup…’
If he hadn’t met Garam in prison then it wasn’t possible for him to be here When he initially joined, the boss Jepeteu hadn’t liked it Luckily Garaanization Although he wasn’t the second in coanization Thanks to Gararoup However, Garam was also very careful
“My phone number? That’s a bit…”
“Why? Soet in contact with you”
“That is a bit difficult Actually, I was in a small situation”
“Situation?”
“I’ll gradually tell you”
Garam always used that excuse whenever he tried to pry for inforanizationimportant, than Isyuram was always locked out and they never called each other by their real names
‘But I can’t question them too closely…’
Thanks to theirpeople If Isyurae then he would be sniffed out and crushed Well, it still turned out okay If any infor a part of the police leaked then his one forever
‘I still haven’t found anything’
When Isyuram first entered the virtual reality world, the Special Crimes Countermeasures chief said that the criminals were tired of an isolated life But after Isyuraht’ve begun like that but noasn’t
‘There’s no doubt about it These guys are taking advantage of the virtual space called New World to do business’
His awareness of ga New World And theabout New World was the cyber nition When Isyura the 2,000 gold he had There were people who just enjoyed the game It was also worthless for those who didn’t understand the ga idea of courseFor people who didn’t play New World, gold had no value The thing that Isyuraold!
‘The game money has equal value to cash’
1 gold orth 10,000 won When it was this degree than it already wasn’t a siame that millions of people enjoyed Gold was a necessity In other words, gold in New World could be changed into cash at any time or vice versa There were old with future profit in ame money moved within 1 year totalled several thousand billion won! So money in New World could also affect the economy in reality
‘This is the blind spot of the National Police Agency investigation!’
Several hundred billion as ame The scary point was that the enormous funds moved were all anonymous Thanks to the user personal inforo, it was iate the personal infor about any transactions that took place within the gaalwere all possible
‘Illegal sters or conceal of politicians There are a nue of it’
Just like the Swiss banks concealed personal information, it was able to conceal billions of ency (NPA) were still unaware of the gravity of this situation Of course the cyber investigations team made an effort, but those measures still couldn’t completely account for the virtual reality world If crial money in the vast virtual reality world then the NPA would have no way of tracking all that money
‘damn, the criminals are ahead of theuess is that Jepeteu and the crianizations If I can figure out how they are contacting the other organizations then I ure out a way to catch them……’
There was no way to hide 70 peoplein secret In addition, Isyura skills and the criminals arriors There was no probability of success even if he only fought against 1 person
“Hey, why does your face look so down? If you’re bored then do you want to play a game of poker?”
Isyuraold in front of hiold When coold=10,000 won, that was already illegal ga
‘I’m itchy to put on the silver handcuffs’
