The Geo their na here for a month already”
”Yeah, let us be known as 'The Lost'1 now What do you think?”
Clueless beginners who have never before played videogaht that they have already adapted to Royal Road But they were ate familiar areas, but in the lands to the south of the Rosenhei in search of a road It was then when they heard news of Weeds return to the fortress Serabourg
Master's eyes shone coldly
”Finally I will ame”
”Master, we also want to see Weed very much!”
All the students were of the sao see hi journey back to Seraboug's Palace
”I think it's this way Master!”
”We'll get there faster if we go this way”
”Huh? We passed this place earlier”
Although the Geomchis started their way back to the , it took the to finally reach the capital of Rosenhei they saw upon arrival, wherein sweat
Geohed
”That's not the way to apply strength”
Geo a pick-axe like that That's science Science!”
”They are so tired that they wouldn't even be able to hammer a nail properly”
”We must help them”
”Whooo OooH!”
Geomchis were completely unaware of the rewards! They just took off their clothes, grabbed picks and started e level of players ere busy at the construction was higher than that of Geoility and other stats than them But that didn't
”To swing a pick, you need not strength but skill”
”Let's show those damn rookies how it's done”
”Yeah Leave it to us”
Weed, Pale, Surka, Irene, Ro
It was the 2nd tiether, the last tied away by the soldiers to
The construction of the pyraether and talk
Like the last ti tasty
So noas cooking kimchijeon with lemonade
At first one would think that they would not fit each other, but Pale, Surka and others were eating so fast that the food Weed washis friends have such an appetite, he could not help but smile
”Want s please!” Maylon exclaiers in indication
Pale and Surka looked back at her in surprise, and Maylon replied with a smile
”After all, no et fat So i'll eat as ht But you you are really full of surprises, Weed Not only you are a skilled sculptor, but also a good cook You'll be popular with girls”
”You bet, Weed is an as for us, Maylon”
”Aw, Pale”
Pale and Maylon's cooing was giving theoosebumps
'Didn't know they're like that'
The sugary-sweet voice of Pale and the responding murmur of Maylon That's a really sweet couple of cockroaches
”I'onna be sick”
”And they're that way all the tiot up They rested well and ate delicious food, but they couldn't spend , it was time to do some work at the construction of the pyramid or to hunt monsters
Recently the four friends, were often sneaking of the construction site to use the benefits of the Lion sculpture and to hunt nearby goblins Because of that they had to work real hard to keep up with other players
That ot almost five levels, and even Irene reached level 225 now Pale, Surka and Romuna were now at level 232, just 20 levels behind Weed
Slowly stretching Pale muttered with irony
”For the last couple of days I had a nosebleed five times”
”Seven for me” Surka replied
”But you do not feel dizzy at least,” Irene said, and after soed And in the subway, all the people around ame or reality”
””
Weed and others looked at Irene, du she is a priest'
Surka was a ht attack people with her fists Thankfully, Irene wasn't a fighter, she was only supporting other players in the party with holy spells
The past few day were difficult for friends, so in the real world, they were all greatly fatigued and in a state of disarray
There weren't many people like Weed who are able to sleep for 4 hours a day and play Royal Road the rest of the tia Royal Road is a hundred ti in a dusty cra clothes'
Weed was being shaken just by memories of that time A tiny, dusty to the point that it was hard to breath roo with it for a while red spots appeared on the skin
Back then he had to quit working and go through a long, expensive treatment at a nearby hospital It was then, when Weed realized that no matter what, you should always keep your body healthy
Though aps he was always doing exercises
And to sleep well he was chanting in his head before going to sleep:
'I can sleep well'
'I will sleep well'
'I'll sleep for 4 hours and wake up rested'
'I'll have beautiful drealess chatter, but to Lee Hyun these phrases have beco effect He would sleep well, and filled with energy he would rush to new conquests in Royal Road
To be honest, Lee Hyun was only able to sleep so well since not long ago More than 10 years he was in constant fear of the loan sharks In those circuood sleep
Only after paying off the debt he now had the opportunity so save up money for his fao of his fears and to start enjoying his life
After dinner, his friends decided to go hunt forwith people you can entrust with your life?
But then they were approached by five men That were Geomchis
”Take us with you”
Geomchi and the Four Geomchi's did not participate in the construction of the toood for seniors' reputation to do the work of a student
So they went to o to hunt
”Let us come too”
”We will not be a burden, believe ed their profession to Martial Artists
Thanks to that, they not only got a significant increase to their attack power, but also the ability to use all kinds of weapons in the game
Most students were at 180th level, but Teacher with instructors had level over 200 All thanks to the fact that they were not engaged in any business, except for hunting, so they were raising levels at an a quests, though not very coure out Such tasks mostly required to kill soether”
Weed, of course, was happy to that they participated Royal Road was not a game where you could hunt with just anybody
Unlike older video gaaroup Fro situations depend lives of other people in party
That is why those who fought well in reality in Royal Road hadcan be done about it As a sood decisions, a well trained one could use his good reflexes and fighting skill while hunting monsters
In some way, virtual reality was closer to life Because of this, soht under difficult and stressful conditions, were considered a burden by party leaders
Of course, hting, but they gradually gained experience and were beco this period of 'learning' when it ame and reality And how they treat you
But all these proble to the top five Geomchi's , as they were the best First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Geoa abilities Moreover, he was very eager to look at the techniques of Martial Artists
Together with joined Geoerous party
They decided to rent horses as the hunting ground was pretty far away It was suggested by Pale, and as his knowledge of Royal Road was vast, Weed had no reason to doubt hi? What kind of place takes two hour to travel on a horse?”
”We're going to the gorge of Huntresses They're roups of two or three and go hunting It's a dangerous place I only read about them, never actually been there
After the Pale's words Weed recalled some inforood with swords, spears and whips!
”I see And what kind of place is that?”
”A gorge Once we go in, the hunt will begin In fact, there is one feature about Huntresses They never attack the moment players enter their lands They alait, closely watching trespassers, waiting until they reach the heart of the gorge, and then begin to attack the party in s Huntresses, you won't be able to leave the gorge”
”So it's either we kill theerous place”
Thus, while having a conversation, they reached the gorge of Huntresses
”H cliffs warily
Huntresses, dressed in black light robes, were hiding at the top of the cliff sides behind trees and bushes Although they were trying to stay unnoticed, Weed and other members of the squad were alert so they could keep track of theht, they don't attack”
”Yes They will attack later, after all the reinforcements arrive”
”And if we attack them now?”
”It's useless If we noticed them, it means that we are already surrounded”
”We have to prepare for battle”
Weed threw the bag on the ground and took out the tools
”Weed, what are you doing?”
At the Irene's question Weed just reached out his hand
”Give me your weapons and armor”
”Huh?”
”I need to prepare theht starts”
”Eeeeeeh, ok”
Then Weed's friends recalled that his blacksan to approach hi him their equipment
It was time to do some work Weed sharpened swords, polished armor and ironed clothes!
To Maylon his actions seemed mysterious, and she quietly asked Pale:
”What's Weed doing?”
When they decided to hunt and took a sculptor with theht that Weed was invited, because he was their friend and needed help to grow After all, everyone knew that the people with crafting professions had a hard tihters
However, fro Pale, Romuna and others made Weed the party leader His opinion was the most important
Maylon worked at a TV-Media station, so she thought she could grasp any situation very quickly, but now she was very confused and did not understand as going on
Weed e actions
He ironed clothes, sharpened their swords and polished armor!
Pale with a smile explained it to her:
”It may be hard to believe, but Weed has intermediate blacksmith level”
”What?!”
To say that Maylon was very surprised would be an understatement On the entire Versailles continent there were few blacksmiths with an intermediate skill level She could not believe that the inter skill as well
”Well, don't be so surprised In addition to blacks skill, Weed has”
Pale wanted to continue, but was a bit too late Weed buffed the equipment of the rest of the party and turned to Maylon A little hesitant, she gave him her bow
”Wow! What a nice bow”
After seeing the weapon, Weed was surprised
Unique Item!
'It could be sold for at least 10 thousand dollars '
Weed's eyes gloith greed It was not easy to get a unique object in Royal Road
Maylon was very worried, and Weed, after struggling with his greed for a bit, slowly adjusted the string and worked on the overall elasticity of the bow
When Maylon got her weapon back, she becah Elf Venus: Durability: 40/40 Attack: 75 Range: 16
With a shot from this bow you can easily pick off the crows of h Elf Brings good luck and reduces morale of the eneility 700</li><li>Only for Rangers</li>

”Wow!”
Maylon repeatedly checked her bow
Weed just work a little on it, and the stats got increased by about 20 percent!
”So that's what the blackse skill level can do”
This bow Maylon got as a gift Although the durability of a weapon was se as unlike swords you didn't have to beat ive me your clothes”
”But It is made of fabric”
Maylon stared at Weed in confusion Blacksmiths could only ith armor and weapons
”Do as he says”
Maylon trusted Pale but was still doubtful when taking off her clothes of rainbow fabric
It was a very rare clothing made from equally rare fabric, sewn by a true nized the iteh Mapan's auction Somehow it ended up in hands of Maylon
Weed slowly ironed the creases and thus increased the protection attribute, increased the rate of health recovery and cold resistance!
”Incredible!”
Maylon's eyes widened in surprise, she was speechless
Thus Weed ireatly increased its attack, defense, strength and other parath of the party
But on this Weed did not stop, he put everything back in bag and took out a cooking ware
Surka awaited this moment the most
”I'll h they have recently eaten, Surka reacted as if she has starved for weeks She liked to taste new delicious food, but with no less interest she watched Weed cook
The whole process of Weed's cooking was like h, as if to spoil the radually the san to spread around
That s appetite
In fact, this was the er to hunt with Weed
'Looks delicious'
'It's beautiful'
Irene's and Roreat it will taste
'Wow! What a great smell'
”Yes, the smell alone is 100 times more delicious than barley bread”
”Can we have some too?”
Five Geomchi's sed loudly
”Eat first”
”We already ate Weed's irls skipped their turn Weed would still irls didn't knorong they were
”These steak are so small”
”Yummy! So that's what the taste of the elite cuisine is”
Geomchi's ate meat as if to make up for all that time they had to eat the hateful barley bread
First Weed wanted to prepare everything as it should be and put on one dish, but Geo so fast that he had to barbecue whole slabs of meat
”More! Faster!”
”It's ok, if the meat is a little raw, so co even to eat undercooked meat That was true poverty Be that as it may, all the meat cooked by Weed, ended up in the stomachs of Geomchis
However, this did not stop the, teacher smacked his lips a few tireat cook”
”Well, that's nothing to be particularly proud of But if you get hungry, I'll cook so any time”
Geomchi nodded at his words, cleared his throat and said:
”Hh ets especially dry”
”Before leaving Serabourg I took so and took out a bottle of water, but when he was going to hand it the Master shook his head
”I didn'tabout alcohol by any chance?” Weed asked after realizing what the teacher reement
”Well, not necessary But do you have some?”
”Oh, you should have said so earlier”
Deep in Weed bags lay a supply of alcohol beverages Mainly results of his experi hasliquors, and Weed was trying to develop it as high as possible Whenever he got suitable herbs or vines for preparing alcohol, he was buying everything he could and brew the beverages
Food wasn't all about dishes With a suitable acco drinks the effects of the food increased! In addition, alcohol not only increases the effects of food, but also raises strength and stamina attributes
Unfortunately, unlike food, alcohol had to prepared in advance, since the process takesof stock bottles with herbal liqueurs and wine
”Good Here, have this tincture and some snack”
Weed quickly reached into his backpack and pulled out one of the bottles, and as a snack he got some pre-cooked slices of dried fish
”Thank you, my student”
Geoladly opened a bottle and started to drink
Looking at that, Geomchi2 also approached Weed
”Khm-khm To be honest, I also have a dry throat”
”Yes I was just about to get a bottle for you too”
