Chapter 99. Frontier (1) (2/2)
“Nah, as I said, it’s nothing big,” she said, waving her hand as she smiled “Follow me I’ll show you around”
She walked to a nearby cafe, but it was empty “Only nobles and their coood place to talk”
“So I wouldn’t be able to come in here without you?” Seo Jun-Ho took a sip of the coffee that was placed before him “Isn’t this just an Americano?”
“It has been 25 years Earth food isn’t uncommon in the Empire”
“That’s cool”
“Hehe So, what do you think?”
He looked out beyond the terrace “It’s so new It feels completely different from Earth”
“Doesn’t it feel like you’ve fallen into a fantasy world? It’ll probably take you soet used to this place” She poured four spoonfuls of syrup into her ice coffee and stirred it “Mr Snake Head, have you ever thought about ould’ve happened if we couldn’t close the Gates 30 years ago? If we couldn’t defeat all the monsters?”
“I dunno I don’t think that it would have been very pleasant”
He had already lived in such a world before Dozens of Gates opened, and hundreds of s had crumbled, and the sounds of screams had filled the air If the whole world had continued to endure such a calaht have been driven into extinction by now
“It’s terrible just to think about, isn’t it?”
“Yes But why did you askhere in Frontier”
“!”
She took a large swig of her iced coffee as Seo Jun-Ho waited for her explanation
“Thousands of years ago, this place was filled with Gates But they couldn’t fight off the monsters, and human civilization was destroyed”
“It seeh”
“Because it had been a long tile Gate anymore, but the monsters from the past had survived and bred; their descendants are still alive and in hiding”
“That’s unexpected…” He looked out into the city once e to think that this peaceful place had once been a place of ruin
“So you kno Players on Earth get rewards by clearing Gates?”
“Of course”
“It’s not much different here You hunt eons…But we have soame quests?”
“Exactly If you take requests from people and fulfill them, you’ll receive EXP and rewards”
“I see…
“It’s the sa, really You just need to hunt monsters and clear Quests to level up”
“I assuive better rewards?”
“Precisely That’s why everyone’s trying to build relations with the aristocracy” After that, she started to list offJu-Ha finished her coffee Afterward, she seemed a little nervous as she spoke softly “So, Mr Snake Head…About the favor that I asked you…”
Seo Jun-Ho nodded and reached into his inventory, pulling out the book that he had signed Gong Ju-Ha’s eyes sparkled as she took it into her hands
“Ahh! Thank you! He even drew hearts?! I love him so much! I’ll treasure this for the rest of onna lad that you like it soit, but it became clear that his embarrassment had been worth it when he saw her reaction
“Oh, right” Gong Ju-Ha quickly reached into her inventory, pulling out so that looked like a letter “This is your letter It’s your prize for winning the bet”
“This isn’t a card or so, is it?”
“Hey, what do you take me for?”
“Then is it a coupon or…”
“I’ you, it’s not!” Her face turned red
The envelope was fancy, and when he flipped it over, there was a firework pattern
“So, what is this?”
“A letter of introduction”
“A letter of introduction?”
“Yup It’ll let you dine with Viscount Hosen in Maliva”
“A meal with the Viscount?” The letter suddenly felt heavy in his hand If what she said was true, then this was so that most Players couldn’t buy with e As I said, it’s just one meal with hi you, youthe stage for me…”
“You’ll have to prove yourself on your own You’re not even a h It’s a ht that he would receive a Rare iteas auction that her pockets were deep, but he didn’t know that they were this deep
‘There are et a chance like this’
He was lucky to receive such a huge opportunity as soon as he arrived in Frontier
“It doesn’t have an expiration date or anything, right?”
“It’s a letter, not a carton of o there whenever you want” She chewed on a piece of ice as she continued “So, ill you do now? I’o and finish a Quest”
“I’ll be raisingif I have ti Ju-Ha crunched hard on a piece of ice in surprise She stared at hiht?”
