Chapter 194: Anti-Corrupted Drake Tactics (1/2)

Since there was no private chat in the Game Forum, conversations were naturally visible for other Players. As such, Joe and the others could see Gou Dan’s text and attachment even as they were fleeing.

Therefore, Joe couldn’t help exclaiming unhappily, “Why are we here getting chased by that Drake, while Gou Dan completes a quest just by running ahead? Isn’t this a little unfair?”

But right after his spoke, everyone in Edward’s group who was still running received a notification from their System—they had received the exact same quest as Gou Dan albeit with more rewards and EXP.

Joe was silent and nervous in response. Could the God of Games have heard his complaining?

Eleena, however, put insult to injury with horrific timing. “…The God of Games must have heard Joe’s complaint and gave the quest to make up to us, right?”

The others responded with looks of understanding—while the God of Games did not mention the way explicitly, there was no question what they should be doing given present circumstances.

Joe: Everyone else grab its attention, and I’ll slip behind to bludgeon it!

Edward: We could only try borrowing the wood elves’ greatest treasure.

Jessica: The girl is the key. No doubt about it.

Eleena: Sefarim.

Joe: …

Joe: Everyone else grab its attention, and I’ll borrow Sefarim the wood elves’ greatest treasure, and slip behind to bludgeon it!

Everyone turned towards Joe who was completely confident in himself.

No, it’s too late to correct yourself.

While they never had any expectations in Joe’s brains, his reaction was still… surprising.

Nonetheless, Edward ignored his antics and turned towards Brom Daystar, the elves’ leader.

“No one’s getting away if this continues, so I have a suggestion…”
