Chapter 23 - Deal (3) (2/2)
“The rich get richer, the poor get poorer”
“That’s correct”
Yeon-woo thought it made sense
Section E had a type of a ‘winner-takes-all’ syste player minority would take Tokens from the weak player ive up their Tokens to survive Even if they ain
‘They ht even be enslaved and made to hand in the Tokens they find’
Whatever theycan sit still and pile up Tokens at a rapid pace On the other hand, the ould be always short on Tokens That was the reason why there was a huge gap between high rankers and the other players
Yeon-woo also knew about this systeers to come
“Anyway, collect as ain Karma, as well as to purchase items from the o straight to Section F even if they have the 99 Tokens required They will try to hoard as
‘Come to think of it, was it at the end of Section E where I can ain?’
Yeon-woo recalled his brother’s diary He didn’t thinkto buy from the mysterious merchant But it wouldn’t harm to keep it in mind
“Oh, by the way, you can have all the Tokens”
“Hmm?”
Yeon-woo looked back at Doyle at the unexpected reive away He didn’t understand why
Doyle smiled and said,
“We didn’t pay you front money e made the deal, did we? Think of it as a down payment”
“What about Kahn?”
“He’s really simple, you know He’ll do whatever I ask him to, so don’t worry”
“You two also need Karma”
“Haha! Are you worried about us? We surely have enough for ourselves, so really, it’s okay”
“Well then, thank you kindly”
There was no reason to turn down their favor Yeon-woo put the Tokens inside a pouch hethe hide of the Trolls He had too many Tokens so he didn’t dare to s them anymore
‘This is easier than expected’
Yeon-woo couldn’t get rid of the idea that it was too easy
If he tried a little harder, he couldto actually do that There was nothing ather much Karma Section E was virtually the last place he could collect Kare quantities
What’s uy will show up here too’
The one that Yeon-woo had in his mind even before he entered the tutorial The one that only appeared at this specific ti to the next section
‘That will significantly increase ic Power Then, I will be able to complete the succession process’
If it was a solid vessel that Yeon-woo had acquired in Section B, as left to be obtained in Section E was the content to fill up the vessel
Yeon-woo licked his lower lip
‘Once we kill the Lizarduy’’
He already had his plan mapped out in hisday
Yeon-woo’s party was able to reach their destination, the northern swamp
It was very hard to move their feet as the sas full of soft mud Their feet sank deep into the sith every step they took, and it was getting deeper as they moved inward At some point, they had to cli the hts whenever they came across a Lizardman settlement
Lizardht These h intelligence, they even kno to ‘hunt’
They would attack with a hit-and-run style in order the exhaust the intruders asa final attack where they’d usually all juainst Yeon-woo’s party at all They showed no signs of fatigue even after a series of battles They just wiped out every single Lizardman they saw And Yeon-woo even looted materials frooing to take this time?”
“Their eyes Lizard artifacts with certain buffs”
“Yeah Of course Well, there are bodies lying everywhere around here, so go ahead Help yourself”
Kahn shook his head in disgust, and once Yeon-woo started to cut off the spikes on their tails, he no longer spoke a word
‘I need their eyes to forge the artifact, Gyges’ Eyes’
It was an artifact naiant that’s said to have hundreds of arms and thousands of eyes
Yeon-ore to hiet his hands on that artifact one day, and continued to move on
Meanwhile, thanks to his steady search, he now had 89 Tokens in his possession
And only after destroying a couple of settlean’s Lair
However,
“Wait, is this…?”
“Yeah Looks like they already had souests”
Doyle looked at Kahn with a worried look
Kahn nodded gravely
Yeon-woo also narrowed his brows
There were bloodstains and other traces of battle along the way leading to Hargan’s Lair
They were traces of other players
